After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

Chapter 240: Chapter 240. The Traitor 3

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Qing had been betrayed by a traitor in her previous life, so she felt that people’s hearts were like the sun.

Many people who fawned over you on the surface were people who stabbed you in the back.

The higher you are, the more they will step on you when you fall.

“Uncle Cheng wouldn’t; he should be in the team. Uncle Cheng initially suspected three people, but it depends on which of them is the traitor.”

Ji Shuisheng did not believe that Uncle Cheng would betray him. He was not a treacherous villain who could defend Mo City for the sake of the people of Mo City even though the imperial court did not give him any military pay.

“Before we find the traitor, we shouldn’t leave.”

Su Qing still didn’t trust anyone. She feared Xiaoying and the others would be in danger after she and Shuisheng left.

“Alright.”

Ji Shuisheng trusted Su Qing very much and felt uneasy about leaving Mo City now. Seeing Su Qing’s dark eyes, Ji Shuisheng held her hand with heartache.

“You should rest early too!”

“I’m not sleepy now. If I’m sleepy, 1’11 go to sleep.”

Su Qing was anxious to level up and refused to rest.

Ji Shuisheng wanted to persuade her again, but he saw Qiu Yongkang hurry in, “Shuisheng, come out with me.”

Did Ji Shuisheng think something had happened? He quickly followed Qiu Yongkang out of the house.

Today was a rare day of good weather. The sky was clear, and the sun was shining brightly. The temperature was higher than every day when the sun was shining. Many elderly people like squatting by the wall and basking in the sun.

However, no one dared to be discharged today. Last night’s incident scared everyone. It was not safe to enter the city.

Qiu Yongkang pulled Ji Shuisheng to a place where no one was around. He looked into Ji Shuisheng’s eyes and hesitated.

“What is it?”

Ji Shuisheng saw that Qiu Yongkang’s expression had already become clearer, but he still asked, wanting to hear Qiu Yongkang say it himself.

“I heard that the person in black yesterday was Qiu Yue?”

Qiu Yongkang looked into Ji Shuisheng’s eyes and asked. His voice was heavy, and his eyes were filled with pain. No matter what, she was his biological sister. He had buried her with his own hands and felt guilty.

“Yes.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. He would not lie to his good brother. “It’s her.”

“How is that possible? I buried her with my own hands.”

Qiu Yongkang couldn’t believe it. How could a dead person come back to life?

“She was dug out and made into a human demon.”

Ji Shuisheng told Qiu Yongkang about the unbelievable scene he had seen last night. The reason why he was telling him now was because the two of them had not met. He had gone to chase after the men in black with Su Qing last night, and when he returned, he went to look for Uncle Cheng. He had not met Qiu Yongkang since.

“Human Demon?”

Qiu Yongkang couldn’t accept it. His sister was dead, but her stomach had been cut open and turned into a human demon. His eyes were filled with pain and self-blame. He blamed himself for not burying Qiu Yue properly and letting the bad guys dig her out to harm her.

Ji Shuisheng nodded.

“Yes, I’ve heard Godfather mention it before. This is the art of witchcraft. It uses the resentment of people who die violently to turn them into human demons.”

“I understand.”

Qiu Yongkang nodded, his fair face filled with pain. He clenched his fists and said mechanically to Ji Shuisheng,

“Where is her body?”

“Qiu Yue?”

Ji Shuisheng asked, and Qiu Yongkang nodded lightly, “Yes.”

“The coffin shop in Mo City is closed, and we can’t buy one. We can only wrap Qiu Yue’s body in a mat and bury it.”

Ji Shuisheng felt something was wrong with Qiu Yongkang’s mood and patted his shoulder.” Yongkang, I’m sorry.”

Qiu Yongkang was so sad that he couldn’t speak. His eyes were red. After all, she was his biological sister. As his brother, he couldn’t bear to think of her miserable state.

Ji Shuisheng looked at him deeply.

“If you’re unhappy, just tell me. We’re brothers.”

“I’m just a little sad. Qiu Yue is already dead.”

Qiu Yongkang shook his head; his voice was bitter, his eyes were lowered, and he looked despondent.

H H

Ji Shuisheng did not know how to comfort him. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to accept that their sister had died and was dug out to become a human demon. It was indeed very tragic.

“I’m fine. I’ll be leaving first.”

Qiu Yongkang forced a smile and turned to leave. He did not lift his head and lowered his eyes.

Ji Shuisheng saw Qiu Yongkang’s sad back and shouted,

“Yongkang, I’ll go with you.”

He felt that his good brother needed someone to accompany him. Qiu Yongkang stopped in his tracks but did not turn around. He said softly,

“There’s no need. Go to the government office quickly. We’ve already cleaned up the government office. Li Daniu and the others are waiting there!”

“Alright then!”

Ji Shuisheng thought he might want to stay alone and digest Qiu Yue’s matter, so he agreed and walked to the county office.

Qiu Yongkang found Qu Da and asked him to take him to see his sister’s body. Qu Da brought him to the west city wall, where there was a crooked willow tree. Qiu Yue was buried under the willow tree.

“Thank you.”

Qiu Yongkang looked at the new soil of the willow tree root; there was not even a grave. He looked up and thanked Qu Da,

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’re welcome. We wanted to buy a coffin for your sister, but the coffin shop in this county is closed. We had no choice but to wrap your sister in a mat.”

Qu Da said apologetically to Qiu Yongkang. Qiu Yongkang looked at him and smiled bitterly,

“I’m already very grateful for this. You can go ahead and do your work. 1’11 sit with my sister for a while.

Qu Da didn’t know what to say even if he stayed. He nodded and left.

Qiu Yongkang slowly knelt beside the pile of fresh soil, his eyes turning red, and soon, his vision was blocked by the mist. His eyes were filled with remorse and pain. Suddenly, he started digging with both hands desperately.

“It’s your brother who let you down. You didn’t even have a complete corpse when you died.”

Qiu Yongkang blamed himself as he dug. He didn’t notice his fingers bleeding from the sand and continued digging. After digging for a long time, he finally found an incomplete body wrapped in a mat.

Her face was black, and her skull was stiff. Her mouth was wide open, and her face was terrifying. She had lost both her arms and legs. What Qiu Yongkang couldn’t bear to look at was her empty chest.

Qiu Yongkang looked at his sister’s corpse and cried for a long time. He grabbed the dirt on the ground tightly and did not get up for a long time.

Su Qing didn’t know what was going on here. She was busy making weapons because she had told Zhong Yong that she wanted to make a pair of hammers for him. She needed a mold first, but the blacksmith shop didn’t have a mold for the hammers.

“System, 1 want a hammer mold.”

Su Qing remembered the system still owed her a reward, so she asked for the hammer mold.

The system was immediately satisfied. This was the little reward that the host had proposed recently.

Su Qing saw that the machetes had melted into iron ingots, so she took them out with iron pliers and put them into the mold. Then, she locked the mold. When it cooled down, it became a black iron hammer. Even the handle was made of iron.

Zhong Yong’s eyes widened as he watched his master make a hammer for him. He was like a child waiting for an adult’s candy reward. He wanted to get it immediately but did not dare to say it. He was so anxious that he rubbed his hands back and forth on his thighs that his pants were about to be ruined.

While Su Qing finished making the hammer, Ji Shuisheng rushed to the government office..
