Chapter 45 - 45 The Consultation Fee Is Given By The Girl

45 The Consultation Fee Is Given By The Girl

Su Qing also woke up feeling very comfortable. Ji Shui Sheng’s medicine was still very effective, and the tightness in her chest felt much better.

She stood up and began to pack her things. Along the way, she had woven more than a hundred pairs of straw shoes and distributed them to the villagers.

The progress of merit and weaving had increased by a lot. The progress of weaving fishing nets was almost upgraded. Su Qing realized that if she wanted to speed up, he could not just weave straw sandals. She could progress faster by weaving new things.

Su Qing’s eyes brightened when she saw the weeping willow. She could weave a willow basket and make some new patterns. She could even sell it in Jincheng.

Su Qing immediately put her thoughts into action. She found a sickle from the cart and chopped a large pile of willow branches, placing them in the cart.

When Ji Shui Sheng saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched. What was she trying to do now? She even brought a bunch of willow branches along with her?

However, he didn’t ask. It was Su Qing’s freedom to do whatever she wanted.

The team walked out of the mountains. After eating and drinking their fill, the people were full of energy again. They were all wearing straw shoes woven by Su Qing. The shoes they brought from home had long been worn out until the soles were exposed. Just this alone made everyone remember Su Qing’s kindness.

Su Qing weaved the Willow basket as she walked. Little seven knew that her master wanted to weave patterns, so she found a few drawings. There were annotations on the drawings, and how to start the basket and how to weave the patterns were clearly written down. Su Qing followed the drawings and soon became entranced.

She realized that making handicrafts could calm her down, and the joy she felt after seeing the finished product couldn’t be bought with money.

As they walked from the mountains to the main road, the number of refugees gradually increased. After rushing for a few days, everyone’s faces were filled with fatigue. Their eyes were confused and empty, and they could only look ahead and walk mechanically.

When they saw Ji Shui Sheng’s group, these people’s eyes were filled with envy, especially those disaster victims whose soles were worn out. The soles of their feet hurt with every step they took. When they saw the straw shoes on the feet of the villagers from Peach Blossom Cove, the eyes of the disaster victims lit up.

Some of the more courageous ones came over and asked how the straw sandals were made. Aunt Li and the others were kind enough to teach him.

Su Qing had just finished weaving a willow basket when she heard the system’s happy announcement.

[ Congratulations, host. Your weaving skill has reached Level 3. Your spiritual power, combat power, physical strength, and God of War abilities have all reached level 16. ]

Su Qing’s expression did not change at all. It turned out that even if her disciple were to teach someone else, she would still make progress.

Ji Shui Sheng sent Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi to guard the place tightly. Although these disaster victims only wanted to learn how to make straw sandals for the time being, people would take an inch and ask for a mile. Seeing that Auntie Li and the others were easy to talk to, they would have other requests.

Sure enough, Aunt Li and the others had just taught these disaster victims how to make straw sandals. They thought that they had become familiar with Aunt Li and began to make unreasonable requests.

“The children and elderly at home are starving to death. Do us a favor and give us something to eat.”

Auntie Li was filled with regret. Ji Shui Sheng had already instructed her not to come into contact with these disaster victims, and she should not have been so kind.

“There are wild vegetables on the roadside, fish in the river, and prey on the mountain. Go and find whatever you want to eat.”

Ji Shui Sheng walked over with a dark face. The moment he appeared, the disaster victims did not dare to pester them anymore.

The team continued to walk toward Jincheng. The further they went, the hotter it became. The sun was like a big stove, drying the creatures on the ground. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove had drunk enough water to hurry on their way, but the victims had no place to drink water. They were hot and tired, and from time to time, some people fell to the ground due to heat stroke.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove could not bear to see those people collapse, but they also knew that they could not be selfless at this time. If they gave food and water to these disaster victims, they would have to starve.

When Su Qing saw the people who had fainted, she asked little seven to make some summer-heat relief pills and went to save them.

She gave medicine to poor people for free and charged a high price when she saw rich people wearing silk and satin. After saving the people, she had three taels of silver in her pocket.

Then, she heard the system’s voice.

[ congratulations, host. Your [ medicine ] skill has reached Level 4. Your combat power, physical strength, spiritual power, and God of War abilities have all reached level 17. ]

Su Qing’s spirits were lifted. She had leveled up twice in a day. At this rate, she would be able to regain her previous life’s combat strength in no time.

As soon as Su Qing returned to the group, he was stopped by a man who looked like a butler.

“Goddess doctor, please stay. My master would like to ask you to treat him. He’s paying you a handsome fee.”

The people from Peach Blossom Cove all looked at Su Qing in unison. In their team, the only one who could be called the goddess doctor was Su Qing.

Of course, Su Qing would not let go of an opportunity to earn money. She looked past the butler and into the carriage behind him. The carriage was covered with curtains, blocking the people inside.

Su Qing said in a cold voice, “Come out if you want to see a doctor.”

The butler glanced at Su Qing. She was arrogant at such a young age, and he was worried that the old master would be angry.

“Li Wu, lift up the curtain.”

A dignified voice came from the carriage, but it was obviously out of breath and sounded gloomy.

Su Qing noticed that the four men in Black standing on the left and right of the carriage were full of killing intent. Their eyes flickered, and whenever someone approached, these men would grip their steel knives in vigilance.

They had two carriages in total, one for people and one for supplies. The decorations were subtle, but the wood used to make the carriage was not ordinary. Sandalwood was probably lit in the carriage, and a faint fragrance floated out from behind the curtains.

The butler, who was called Li Wu, hurriedly walked over and lifted the curtain. He ordered someone to set up a horse stool and respectfully helped an old man with white hair and a white beard get off the carriage.

The old man was wearing a plain long robe, but he still had a majestic aura. He should be a big shot who was either rich or noble, but he was as thin as a matchstick, which was different from the thin people in the disaster. His face was yellow, and his eyes were lifeless. He looked like he was seriously ill.

The old man was in a bad mood and needed someone to help him walk. His waist was slightly bent, and his brows furrowed as he walked, as if he was enduring great pain.

He walked in front of Su Qing and sized her up. He saw that it was a young woman with a beautiful face and cold eyes. She stood there with her back straight and her chin slightly raised, giving off a sense of alienation. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and her aura was not like a woman from the mountains at all. She really did have the aura of a Divine Doctor.

The old man had more confidence in Su Qing now. He smiled and said, “I heard about the great name of the goddess doctor on the way here, and I was wondering if we were fated to meet. You really live up to your reputation, after seeing you save people just now.”

Su Qing’s face did not change at all when the old man was complimenting her. She continued to look at him expressionlessly, and his voice was cold and emotionless.

“It’s expensive to see me.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as the young lady can cure this old man’s old illness, the consultation fee is at the young lady’s discretion.”

The old man wasn’t angry. Capable people all had their own characteristics. He wasn’t afraid that she would ask for a high price, but he was afraid that she couldn’t cure his illness.

“Alright, your illness is very serious. If you don’t get treated immediately, you won’t live to see next month. I don’t want much, just a thousand-year-old Lingzhi or silver equivalent to it.”

The moment Su Qing said that, everyone looked at her as if she was a lunatic. A thousand-year-old Lingzhi was worth thousands of gold. Even a miracle doctor wouldn’t be worth that much.

When the old man heard Su Qing’s exorbitant demand, he was slightly taken aback. The butler beside him had a dark expression.

“Young lady, do you know who my master is?”
