As soon as it was light, Qi Muzhi woke up Suiyi, saying, "I just went outside and hunted two rabbits. I'll carry you on my back, and you can take the rabbits. That way, we'll have something to say when we get back."
"Hmm!" Sui Yi sat up in bed and handed the clothes covering her to Qi Muzhi. Qi Muzhi put on his clothes and saw Sui Yi about to get out of bed. He immediately said, "Don't move. Let me see your foot." He then squatted down, took off Sui Yi's shoes, and checked her sprained foot from last night. The swelling had gone down, so he was relieved.
"Myna, it's all better now, I can walk by myself."
"You might not be fully recovered yet, and I'm afraid you'll get hurt again. I'll carry you on my back! Don't talk nonsense, get on." He then firmly told Suiyi to get on his back. With Suiyi on his back, they left the cave.
“Brother Ba, now that you know what I did last night, you should know how much money I have now, right? I plan to go to the market today to see if anyone is selling a house so we can buy one and live there. Otherwise, living in a dilapidated temple is unbearable in the heat and rain, the summer heat and winter cold. Besides, we're all growing, so we need to make sure we get enough nutrition.” Sui Yi discussed with Qi Muzhi.
“Okay, I’ll take you there after breakfast.” Qi Muzhi agreed.
"Eighth Brother, Ninth Sister has a great dream, and I want to help her realize it."
"What?"
"To become the richest person on the Baiyi Continent," Sui Yi said proudly.
Qi Muzhi's lips twitched. "..." This dream is truly extraordinary. "Go ahead and do it. If you encounter any difficulties, myna will help you solve them."
"Myna is so nice!" Suiyi said happily. On Qi Muzhi's back, Suiyi felt the morning mountain air and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes to admire the morning mountain scenery. Suddenly, she saw something resembling a medicinal herb to her left. Suiyi looked closely, cried out in surprise, and struggled to get off Qi Muzhi's back.
"Myna, myna, put me down quickly, I think I saw a treasure." Qi Muzhi reluctantly put her down, and Suiyi hopped over to the herb. Sure enough, just as he thought, it was a ginseng.
"Myth brother, come quick, there's ginseng here!" Sui Yi called out to Qi Muzhi with delight. Qi Muzhi stepped forward, and looking at the bright smile on Sui Yi's face, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. The two of them worked together to dig out the ginseng, and Sui Yi examined it carefully; it was a hundred-year-old ginseng.
"Brother Ba, now we have a better excuse to take out the money."
"Okay!" Qi Muzhi wrapped up the ginseng, carried it in his hand, and left with Suiyi on his back.
The two returned to the dilapidated temple and saw several people standing at the entrance. Upon seeing them, they happily approached.
"Ninth Sister, Eighth Brother"
"Ninth Sister, Eighth Brother"
"Ninth Sister, where did you all go?"
"Ninth Sister, what's wrong?"
...
"Stop, I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle this morning when I went hunting for game with my myna bird. Look, we had a huge haul today!" He then waved the rabbit in his hand. The fifth brother took the rabbit, and Qi Muzhi put Suiyi down.
"Brother, my brother and I have dug up a century-old ginseng. I plan to sell it at the pharmacy and then buy a house at the market so we'll all have a place to live. My brother and I will go to the market after breakfast. Just wait for our good news, brothers!"
After finishing their meal, Qi Muzhi took Suiyi to the market. Inside the dilapidated temple, however, the scene was quite different.
“It’s my fault for being useless and not taking good care of you. Now that Eighth Brother and Ninth Sister have done so much for all of us, I will follow Eighth Brother and Ninth Sister for the rest of my life and protect them with my life. What about you?”
“Big brother, we are all family. We have survived to this day thanks to our eighth brother, and now our ninth sister is so capable. We must make something of ourselves and never hold them back.”
"We all are."
"Heaven above, Earth below, from this day forward, we brothers will protect our eighth brother and ninth sister with our lives. If we disobey, may we die a horrible death." They all knelt before the temple's shrine and swore an oath.
The two people who went to the market were unaware of the actions of others; instead, they were looking around for people selling houses, hoping to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
