Chapter 61: Thank you for helping me eliminate the hidden danger

A group of men were sitting in the boat, carefully peeping out. Seeing Su Wan standing on the dock waiting for them, they were so anxious that they could dig a hole in the boat with their toes.

Qi Two was scratching his head anxiously: “Boss Qi, what should we do? The young lady is waiting for us outside!”

Qi Guang was sweating profusely, the bright sweat dripped into his eyes, making his eyeballs red.

He didn’t want Su Wan to see his embarrassed side.

But just…

He frowned, his hand with bulging veins grabbed his right leg, remembering the way Su Wan bandaged his wound, he gritted his teeth and planned to go out.

Qi Three said dejectedly: “The young lady used to dislike us for being sweaty. Now we are carrying sacks for people and doing this lowly work, will she think we are embarrassing her?”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Guang’s feet seemed to be nailed to the boat, and he couldn’t move half a step.

The atmosphere in the boat suddenly became cold.

A group of tall and burly men stood there dejectedly, like eggplants beaten by frost.

The only wish of General Qi was to not let go of Su Wan. Su Wan didn’t like them, but they respected her from the bottom of their hearts.

They were most afraid of Su Wan scolding them for losing the blood and iron bones of a soldier, and losing the face of General Qi.

“Huh? You all finished your work, why don’t you come out of the boat?”

Su Wan got on the boat and looked at the group of people who were downcast with a smile. They were all honest and simple people, all their thoughts were written on their faces, and you didn’t need to guess to know what they were thinking.

She felt sour and astringent in her heart, and said with a smile: “I bought two buckets of plum soup. The sun is too big outside. If you dawdle, the coolness will dissipate, and it won’t quench your thirst!”

Everyone looked at Su Wan in astonishment, with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

This… this kind-hearted girl, is… is their young lady?

She not only didn’t scold them, but also invited them to drink plum soup??

A group of rough men, all with red eyes, looked at Su Wan carefully with a guilty look.

Can they really drink?

Qi Guang’s lower lip trembled, and he couldn’t help but raise it. He laughed and suddenly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, not knowing whether it was to wipe off the sweat or the heat that rushed from his heart to his eyes.

“Go! You bunch of big men, dawdling, like a woman.” Qi Guang yelled with a loud voice, striding out, and he didn’t care even the wound on his leg was tearing.

The others all followed Qi Guang out of the boat.

Su Wan quickly went to the dock and served them plum soup.

Everyone held a bowl of plum soup, and the coolness drilled into their palms. They saw Su Wan’s soft eyebrows and smiling lips serving the soup, and their hearts were hot.

They took a sip and drank it. The cool and heart-refreshing plum soup made their body’s heat dissipate and they felt comfortable all over.

“There is still some in the bucket. If you finish drinking and are not enough, do it yourself.” Su Wan saw Qi Guang standing far away, she brought a bowl of plum soup over and put the bowl in his hand: “You don’t need to save money for me, I have money.”

Afraid that Qi Guang would not believe it, she said as if counting treasures: “I saved Zhao Wei, and he bought medicine from me, so I can make a lot of money. Do you know the Xinglin Medical Hall in the town? Half of it is mine. Do you know the Zuixiang Pavilion? Almost half of it is mine.”

Qi Guang widened his eyes, he didn’t expect that the poor girl he thought was living a good life.

He stared blankly at her simple attire of a thorn hairpin and a cloth skirt, his brows furrowed tightly enough to kill a fly.

“I don’t care about dressing, whatever is comfortable.” Su Wan touched the wooden hairpin on her head, and didn’t expect that her dress would make Qi Guang misunderstand that she was not doing well.

She felt a warmth in her heart. Thinking of Fang Wuqiong being chopped off both hands, she said gratefully: “Thank you for helping me eliminate the hidden danger.”
