Seventh Master Jiang walked into the house excitedly. He was so scared when he saw the two hugging that he quickly turned his back.
Ji Shuisheng didn’t feel awkward at all. He put down his arm and held Su Qing’s hand naturally. He calmly asked Seventh Master Jiang,”
“Found it?”
” Yes, it’s an abandoned blacksmith shop. There’s a furnace, stones for iron cavalry, and a mold.”
Jiang Laoqi felt uncomfortable all over. He did not dare to turn around to look at them and just looked at the dark door.
“Bring me to take a look.”
She was energized when Su Qing heard that he had found the blacksmith shop. She ignored the dark sky and wanted to take a look for herself.
With the blacksmith furnace and tools, she could forge weapons and officially start her forging upgrade.
“I’ll accompany you to take a look.”
Ji Shuisheng held onto Su Qing’s hand, unwilling to let go. His large hand completely wrapped around Su Qing’s soft little hand. Su Qing’s hand was icy, so he wanted to warm it up for her.
“Brother, I’ll go too.”
When Xiaoying heard they were going to the blacksmith shop, she quickly exited the house. Ji Shuisheng nodded.
“Let’s go!”
Seventh Master Jiang was leading the way with a torch in his hand. The sky was full of stars tonight, and the moon was like a sickle, shining with a cold light. Mo City was as quiet as a ghost city. There were no civilians on the streets except for the patrolling soldiers.
The old master and the bailiffs of Mo City’s government office had long run away. The once majestic government office had become a mere decoration. Cheng Yu was prepared to clean it up for the Young Master to live in. It was too late today, and Ji Shuisheng and the others would move over after cleaning it up tomorrow.
The blacksmith shop was not far from their house. They could see it after turning a street. The flag of the blacksmith shop swayed back and forth in the wind in the night. The empty building gave off a lonely feeling.
Su Qing walked into the blacksmith shop and looked around. The blacksmith furnace, the platform anvil, the iron clamp, the iron block, the windmill, the water tank, and so on were all available. The blacksmith might have been in a hurry to escape, so he did not take his tools.
Ji Shuisheng was by Su Qing’s side. When he saw the joy in her bright eyes, he could not help but smile and ask her in a low voice,
“What else do you lack?”
” I’m not short. Please bring me the machetes tomorrow and two baskets of coal.”
Su Qing shook his head. He couldn’t wait to become a blacksmith. He hoped that he could reach Level 3 in three days.
She wanted to level up now. The power of the war god ability beyond level 50 was utterly incomparable to the power below level 50. Her combat power would be significantly enhanced, and her stamina and spiritual energy would also have a giant leap.
“Alright, go back and rest early!”
Ji Shuisheng’s heart ached as he looked at the woman beside him. Su Qing was in a good mood and raised his head to smile at him.”Alright.”
She didn’t know how beautiful she looked when she smiled. Under the torch’s light, her eyes were as bright as gems. Her gaze was confident and firm, and her thin lips were as tender as rose petals. She was determined and charming, like a seductress that could captivate people’s hearts, making him willing to indulge in her.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Ji Shuisheng sent Su Qing and Xiao Ying to where they were staying. Qiu Yongkang was helping them nail the windows with Li Dashuang and Zhong Yong. If they did not have any window paper, they would use the military uniforms they had taken from the Tartan soldiers as window paper. The door had also been repaired to block the cold wind outside.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Ji Shuisheng patted Qiu Yongkang’s shoulder. Qiu Yongkang was always so meticulous, and he had already done everything without him noticing.
“It’s okay. You guys are busy with the big things. Leave the matters behind to us!”
Qiu Yongkang smiled and shook his head. He had spent the entire afternoon repairing the windows of all the houses, but Xiao Ying’s house was the one that took the most time and was also the one that had been fixed the most.
” Thank you, Brother Yongkang. Thank you, everyone.”
Ji Xiaoying also thanked everyone sweetly. She was too sleepy and accidentally yawned. She covered her mouth in embarrassment, and her bright eyes were watery.
“Rest!”
Qiu Yongkang lowered his head and looked at her gently. This was all he could do for her: let her have a warm and peaceful sleep.
Su Qing wasn’t used to saying these words of thanks, so he only nodded at Qiu Yongkang and the other two workers before walking into the house.
The temperature outside was worlds apart from the temperature inside. It was cold outside the door in late autumn but warm in spring inside the house. The furnace in the outer room was burning red, and the warmth enveloped people comfortably.
When they entered the house, they saw that their luggage was placed on the brick bed. The brick bed was also clean. They could sleep as long as they laid a mattress.
She touched the heated brick bed with her hand and felt it was scorching. The temperature in the room was even higher than the temperature in the outer room. Madam Li was sitting on the brick bed packing up. When she saw Xiaoying and Su Qing return, she smiled and said to them,
“You must be tired. Godmother has boiled some hot water. You will feel more comfortable after washing up.”
Although Su Qing had not officially acknowledged Madam Li as her Godmother, Madam Li treated her as her daughter and always addressed herself as her Godmother.
It was natural for him to call her Godmother. At first, Su Qing was not used to it. Later on, she followed Xiaoying and called her Godmother.
Madam Li cared for them in every detail of their lives and always made Su Qing and Xiao Ying feel warm. For example, Madam Li cleaned up the house today and made them feel the warmth of home. She even prepared a big pot of hot water for them. She knew Su Qing liked cleanliness, so she and Xiaoying could take a hot bath.
“Thank you, Godmother.”
Xiaoying held onto her Godmother’s arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, acting like a spoiled child. Madam Li smiled and patted Xiaoying’s smooth little face. Motherly love flowed in her eyes. It was obvious that she liked Xiaoying.
They used large wooden basins to bathe along the way. After Ji Shuisheng filled them with water, he left with Qiu Yongkang and the others. He closed the door tightly before he left. After he left the courtyard, he did not go and stood guard at the door for Su Qing and the others.
Su Qing and Xiaoying took a hot bath. They sat by the brick bed and used a dry cotton cloth to wipe their wet hair. Their feet were soaked in the hot water basin, and the warmth spread from the soles of their feet to their bodies. It was extremely comfortable.
After taking a shower, Su Qing went out to get some water. She saw a tall figure standing outside the door. Hearing the door open, Ji Shuisheng turned around and saw Su Qing with a head full of black hair and a face as pink as peach blossoms. She was standing at the door and looking at him. Under the moonlight, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. Ji Shuisheng smiled at her.
“Are you done showering?”
“I’m done.”
Su Qing smiled. Her voice was not as cold as usual. It was as pleasant as the whisper of an oriole. Her velvety eyes looked at Ji Shuisheng with a faint smile.
“I… Did you go back?”
Ji Shuisheng looked at such a delicate and beautiful woman and could not bear to leave. His low voice carried some hesitation.
“Okay, a hot bath will make me feel better.”
Su Qing’s bright black eyes looked at Ji Shuisheng’s face hidden in the darkness. Her eyes were unusually bright, like the stars in the sky, shining with a scorching light in the dark..
