The four members of the Xing Family took a shower and changed into clean clothes. They finally looked like humans. When they returned to the U-shaped cave where everyone was resting, Xing Ruhai thanked Ji Shuisheng.

“Thank you, young general, for giving our family of four a way out.”

“Brother Xing, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Ji Shuisheng supported Xing Ruhai with both hands. Looking at the obvious word prisoner on his face, Ji Shuisheng said to him,

“The words on your face have to be removed. I’m afraid you’ll have to suffer a little.”

Xing Ruhai’s eyes were firm and resolute as he said without hesitation,

“It’s fine. I’ve suffered all kinds of hardships along the way. 1 can hold on.”

According to Su Qing, Xing Ruhai needed to undergo a minor operation. The words on his face would be scraped off with a knife, and then medicinal herbs that could remove the necrotic tissue and regenerate the skin would be applied to restore it to its original state.

The old and young people of Peach Blossom Cove did not dare to look at it and turned their faces away.

The cave was dimly lit, and Su Qing needed enough light. Ji Shuisheng, Li Daniu, and Zhong Yong, the Seventh Elder of Jiang, each held a torch to light up Su Qing.

Su Qing pretended to take out the surgical tools from her backpack but took them from the system.

To reduce Xing Ruhai’s pain, Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to give him an anesthetic. She would first apply it to Xing Ruhai’s wound during the operation.

Ji Shuisheng waited for the anesthetic to take effect before the surgery started. He looked at the scalpel in Su Qing’s hand. It was not the first time he had seen Su Qing use this knife to treat someone.

Perhaps he had been ignorant in the Peach Blossom Cove. His godfather was also a divine doctor and did not have such a tool.

When Su Qing cut off the word ‘Prisoner,’ Xing Ruhai’s entire body tensed up. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and prepared for the unbearable pain.

But…

Why didn’t it hurt at all?

Could it be that his face was scalded so that he couldn’t feel the pain?

Just as he was puzzled, Su Qing had already applied medicine to his wound, but he still did not feel anything.

Su Qing bandaged his wound and told him to lie on his side tonight.

The injuries on their feet were too severe. Su Qing gave them some red medicine to rub on the soles of their feet. It should not be a problem for them to walk tomorrow.

“Come over here. I’ll help you treat the wound on your face.”

After Su Qing finished treating Xing Ruhai, she saw that her medical skills had increased by one level. She was in a good mood and wanted to take advantage of her victory to raise her level faster, so she called Madam Xing over.

“Can my face be treated?”

Madam Xing asked Su Qing in disbelief. From the moment she hardened her heart and cut her face, she did not dare to expect that she could return to her original appearance.

She thought she could only wear this ugly face for the rest of her life. Su Qing gave her hope, but this hope made her worry about gains and losses.

“Yes, I can.”

Su Qing was a person of few words, but her tone was firm, as if this was an easy task.

“Thank you, Miss.”

Madam Xing happily gave Su Qing ten thousand blessings before sitting in front of her nervously.

Su Qing looked at the crisscrossing scars on her face. Some parts were so deep that bones could be seen. Her flesh was even exposed. It looked so ugly like countless centipedes were crawling on it.

She looked at Madam Xing with admiration. It was admirable. A gentle and weak woman could be so ruthless to herself to protect her innocence.

It seemed that saving loyal officials leveled up faster, but chaste women should be able to level up more, right?

Su Qing treated Madam Xing’s face with this thought. She asked Xiao Qi to make a face-restoring cream to remove dead tissue and regenerate the skin.

Madam Xing’s wound was too deep, and it would take ten days for the medicine to take effect. If it happened too quickly, it would arouse suspicion. Su Qing felt that this was just the right time.

Xiaoying and Jiang Yuyan applied ointment on the soles of the two children’s feet. After using the ointment, they wrapped it up with a clean cloth.

They were already experienced in treating wounds, and the girls’ bandaging skills were at the peak of perfection. Xiaoying had a pink girl’s heart and tied a beautiful bow when she bandaged the little girl’s wound.

After dressing the child’s wound, Xiaoying saw that the child was trying to endure the pain and not make a sound. Her heart ached. She patted the child’s head and praised him,

“How brave.”

“Eat.”

To reward the children for their bravery, Xiaoying filled two bowls of chestnuts for the two children and brought them plums.

The two children looked at their parents timidly. Xing Ruhai’s face was half covered, and he dared not move or speak. Madam Xing’s entire face was covered and even more severe than his.

Ji Shuisheng walked over and gently said to the two children,

“Hurry up and eat. Go to sleep after you’re full.”

The two children felt Ji Shuisheng’s kindness and dared to put the good food in their hands into their mouths. When they ate, their eyes sparkled, and tears fell. The two children were happy that they would never have to be whipped again.

It was already midnight when she was done with Xing Ruhai’s family. Su Qing looked at her Medicine and Merit columns. She had leveled up two slots in total and the previous experience bar. She still needed seven slots to level up to level nine. It was a long job.

Su Qing fell asleep when she was tired. The fire had been burning the whole night, so the air was circulating, and there was no need to worry about soot poisoning.

The following day, Su Qing woke up and began to cook bear meat for everyone. She spent some effort on four bear paws to level up immediately. She wanted to make a first-grade bear paw but could only give up.

Finally, she made a steamed bear paw. Steamed bear paw was also a famous dish. It was made from the right foot of a bear. Bears often licked their right palm, which was especially fat. It was known as the left jade. Su Qing chose the right palm of the bear to make this dish.

There was too much bear meat, and she stewed it in four pots. Half was made into braised bear meat, and the other half into Sichuan-style bear meat. The rest of the bear paws were all made into braised bear paws. She added a lot of chilies to make it taste even better.

Her cooking skills had leveled up when she cooked bear meat. She had directly risen to level 9. Her physique, spiritual power, combat power, and war god ability had all been increased to level 43.

The system’s announcement sounded in Su Qing’s ears. Su Qing told it to remember the reward for herself and not to swallow it. The system agreed listlessly. It couldn’t deny it anymore. The host was too challenging to deal with.

This was because the bear had stayed in the same place for another day, giving the four members of the Xing Family time to rest.

Ji Shuisheng did not waste a day. After seeing the advantages of coal, he led his men to dig for more coal and prepared to bring more backup.

Su Qing and the girls were not idle either. They weaved baskets to load the coal, and the two cooperated very well.

They dug another three carts of coal. Walking was not difficult. The people who were initially sitting in the car had to walk instead. Anyway, everyone had rested enough along the way. They ate tiger and bear meat for two days to strengthen their bodies.

As the four members of the Xing Family were injured, Su Qing gave up her carriage to them. She acted as the coachman and sat on the carriage shaft, swinging the whip. Big Black did not need to be whipped at all. It was very intelligent. It knew how to pick the right path and make the carriage stable and not bumpy.

Qin Feng was also in the car with Xing Ruhai and his family. Qin Feng did not hide his identity.

When Xing Ruhai found out that this old man was actually Qin Feng, he was very excited. As an official in the court, he especially respected the old man. Along the way, the two of them had endless topics to talk about.

The convoy arrived at the place where Qu Da had killed the bailiffs yesterday. Qu Da checked carefully again. They had buried the bodies of the bailiffs. There were no signs of digging. It seemed that no one had discovered that the bailiffs had been killed and the prisoners had been robbed.

However, he had forgotten about the escaped prisoners. After the shackles of these exiles were released, they walked toward places with people to survive. Those with money wanted to go into the city to buy food and clothes, but the word prisoner on their faces exposed their identity as soon as they entered the city..
