Chapter 62: Chapter 64: Co, Help Dig a Hole Chapter 62: Chapter 64: Co, Help Dig a Hole In the middle of the night, Xi Zheng walked out of the farmhouse courtyard, about to mount the horse she had just led out, when a hissing sound ca from behind her.
“We agreed that your life belongs to , you’re being dishonest girl, trying to sneak away on your own?”
Xi Zheng turned around, so embarrassnt on her face, yet she kneeled before Qin Liuxi: “Young Master. I am not trying to flee, but rather have so matters to attend to.”
“Like gathering your servants’ corpses?” Qin Liuxi smiled: “Offspring of a General’s family indeed, quite audacious.”
Xi Zheng’s complexion changed repeatedly, staring at Qin Liuxi in astonishnt, how could she have known?
“Want to know how I found out?” Qin Liuxi’s smile turned roguish: “I guessed, but clearly, I guessed right.”
Xi Zheng: “…”
This young master, truly, is itching one’s hands.
“Let’s go.” Qin Liuxi also walked towards another horse.
“Young Master, you?”
“I need to follow you, what if you run away or et with mishaps, who would compensate for my life?” Qin Liuxi patted the horse by her side, which obediently knelt down.
Yet in Xi Zheng’s heart, it was complicated and hard to articulate, she wasn’t foolish, naturally knowing Qin Liuxi wasn’t truly afraid of her escaping; she feared for her safety, didn’t she?
How does such a person exist in this world.
Like the warm sun, effortlessly warming one’s heart.
“Doctor Qin.” Qi Qian also walked out.
Upon seeing him, Qin Liuxi teased: “Yo, Young Master Qi is so young, yet has weak kidneys? Needing to visit the latrine at night?”
Qi Qian’s face soured, grinding his teeth he said: “I appreciate Doctor Qin’s concern, my kidneys are just fine.” He glanced at the others’ movents and then said: “Since Doctor Qin can’t sleep, why not start the journey together, arrive in Ningzhou earlier as well.”
Xi Zheng instinctively looked at Qin Liuxi, tightening the reins.
Qin Liuxi said: “Alright, we are going the sa way anyway, too lazy to turn back now. Go wake them up, arrange them in the carts.”
The latter remark was directed at Xi Zheng.
Xi Zheng fell silent for a mont, then nodded.
…
The group proceeded under cover of night and in less than an hour, they reached the slope where Xi Zheng’s group had been ambushed, with dawn approaching, still silent around.
The sky brightened, revealing the grueso scene in the forest, bodies strewn everywhere, the stench of blood yet lingering.
“Uncle.” Pingzi rushed to a corpse and knelt down with a thud.
Huo Lang, by the torchlight, recognized it was the middle-aged servant who had inquired about the situation the previous day; in just one night, he had beco a deceased soul.
Xi Zheng stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed three tis.
Qin Liuxi glanced around, pinched her fingertips while calculating, then stood on a small hill, waved at Ying Nan with a smile.
“Chen Pi said you’re extrely bored before, co here, help dig a hole!”
Ying Nan looked at her devilish smile: “!”
No, I am not idle, please spare !
Qi Qian subtly guessed sothing, raised his chin slightly, and signaled several people to join Qin Liuxi, using hoes and shovels bought from the farmhouse to start digging.
Qin Liuxi then approached Xi Zheng, saying: “Let’s prioritize the urgent matters; even if we were to take their ashes with us, it would take ti. It’s better to bury them right here. That spot for burial is also considered auspicious. For now, let them be interred here, if you wish in the future, you can exhu and transport them back to your hotown. If not transfered, their valiant souls can still linger, providing so blessings to the future generations.”
Xi Zheng looked up at Qin Liuxi, her eyes tearful, overwheld with gratitude, she deeply knelt before her.
“Stand up, the valiant souls who defended their ho and country should not be left exposed in the wilderness, aimlessly returning to death without tranquility day and night.” Qin Liuxi personally helped her stand.
Qi Qian, sowhat astonished on the side, looked towards those bodies, are these the valiant souls, were they soldiers?
