Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Qing didn’t know that Xiao Qi would help her dig for coal. She asked Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi to clean up the wild boar. When they came out, they brought a pot with some spices. They were going to stew the prey after they hunted it.

She didn’t bring a single grain of food. Now that the army had grown, the imperial court had embezzled their rations to starve Cheng Yu’s army to death. She and Shuisheng couldn’t just ignore it. The more people there were, the more food they would eat. A huge pit would fall every day. When they came out, they would be self-sufficient and leave food for the people in the city to eat.

Xiao Qi killed two wild boars in one go. The five of them couldn’t even eat a pig.

Now that the weather was cold, the wild boar would not stink even if it was left outside for two or three days. It could be brought back to everyone for a meal. Everyone would be pleased to see the wild boar.

Li Daniu had been eating porridge for the past few days, and the oil in his stomach was long gone. He even began to miss the days when he fled from famine. Although he had to eat in the open, he would eat meat every few days, and it was the kind that filled his stomach.

They entered the city, but they didn’t have enough to eat.

Today, he finally saw meat. When he was cleaning up the wild boar, he shouted happily to Su Qing,

“Su Qing, do you believe I can eat half a pig myself?”

Su Qing looked at him expressionlessly. Li Daniu had long been used to Su Qing’s indifference and was not embarrassed. He happily skinned the wild boar. Without a butcher knife, he could not shave the pig’s hair. He only needed to skin it.

Xiaoying and Jiang Yuyan fetched water, washed the pot, and gathered firewood to start the fire. Su Qing cut Li Daniu’s skinned wild boar meat into pieces. Everyone was busy cooking.

No one noticed when Xiao Qi left. When she left, she even took a hoe and threw it into the five baskets in the system.

When Su Qing stewed the meat in the pot and went to clean up the other wild boar, she heard Xiaoying’s surprised shout,

“The little gal is missing.”

Only then did Su Qing realize that Xiao Qi was missing. However, she wasn’t worried at all. The little gal had just left the system to come to this world of flowers and had snuck out to play.

After all, she was still a child!

“It’s fine. She went out to play.”

Su Qing said lightly and continued to do what she was doing.

Xiaoying was worried and pulled Jiang Yuyan to pick up firewood while looking for Xiao Qi. They found the coal cave, and Xiaoying heard some noise from inside. It sounded like they were digging something.

Seeing that the hole they had disguised earlier had been opened, Xiaoying anxiously said to Yuyan,

“Not good; someone is stealing coal. Sister Yuyan, go back and call Sister Su Qing.”

“Be careful. Don’t go in.”

Jiang Yuyan was afraid that Xiaoying would be in danger if she dared to enter the cave, so she hurriedly instructed her.

“I know.”

Xiaoying nodded and said to Jiang Yuyan,

“Go and find Sister Su Qing. This is our coal mine.”

Jiang Yuyan also knew that the situation was complicated. She ran back to find Su Qing, and she was so tired that she was panting.

Su Qing’s face turned cold when she heard that someone was robbing their coal mine. They had already hidden the entrance of the cave. How could it be discovered?

Since ancient times, wars have been waged for resources. At this moment, Su Qing was thinking about this. This coal mine was theirs. Whoever dared to snatch it would die.

Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi were also anxious. They picked up their hoes and were about to fight with their lives on the line.

“You two look after the pork.”

Su Qing didn’t want them to go. She could take back the coal mine by herself. Someone had to look after the pork. Otherwise, if the disaster victims found out, there wouldn’t even be any pig hair left.

Jiang Yuyan held her and Xiaoying’s crossbows and followed closely behind Su Qing. The girls had experienced a great battle and were not afraid of war anymore. They would fight anyone who dared to snatch the coal mine.

When Su Qing and Jiang Yuyan returned, they saw Xiaoying happily taking the basket from the cave entrance. She was even talking to the people in the cave. They were intimate, as if they had been good friends for many years.

Jiang Yuyan was confused by Xiaoying’s actions. They were here to rob their coal mine, so why was Xiao Ying still mingling with them?

She couldn’t help but shout at Xiao Ying,

“Xiaoying.”

Xiaoying was having difficulty dragging a basket that weighed dozens of kilograms. Her face was flushed red from holding it in. When she heard Jiang Yuyan call out to her, she turned around and waved at Jiang Yuyan,

“Quickly help me lift it.”

A small head popped out of the coal cave. Xiao Qi, who Su Qing thought had gone out to play. When she saw Su Qing, her snow-white fur was dyed black by the coal cinders, and her big amber eyes curved into crescent moons.

Su Qing didn’t expect Xiao Qi to help her dig coal. This little fellow was considerate. A touch of warmth rose in the eyes of Su Qing.

In front of Xiaoying and Jiang Yuyan, Xiao Qi didn’t dare to talk to Master. Master had said it wasn’t allowed to speak human language, afraid it would scare these humans.

She used body language to express her happiness. She shook her head at her master, and her two chubby hands danced back and forth with her tiny head.

Xiaoying liked this cute look very much. She reached out to pat Xiao Qi’s little head.

“Why are you so cute?”

In the end, she didn’t feel the smoothness in her imagination. She touched the cinders in her hand and smiled at Xiaoying. That smile was evil and seemed to be boasting.

Xiao Qi’s height meant she could move freely in the coal cave. She was powerful and could see in the pitch-black cave without a lamp, so she quickly dug the coal. In a short while, it had dragged out a basket.

Su Qing couldn’t bear for her to do all the work for Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi. She felt that she was being used as a child laborer.

However, when she asked Xiao Qi to come out, she did not listen this time. She continued to dig coal happily and even hummed a song in the cave,

“I’m proud of mining coal. I’m earning money for my master.”

She wanted to be a useful Xiao Qi!

“Sister Su Qing, where did you get this treasure? It’s so cute.”

Xiaoying liked her. She was sensible and capable. She was too famous. She even suspected that she had changed into a human.

Who had ever seen a pet helping its owner? They were all waiting for their masters to serve them.

“In the mountains.”

Su Qing blurted out.

“Then, are there any other lucky beasts in this mountain? I’ll go look for it too.”

Xiaoying liked Xiao Qi too much but couldn’t remove what others loved, so she wanted to go into the mountains to catch another one.

“No, there’s only one lucky beast on a mountain.”

Su Qing lied with a straight face, but there was one true thing. Xiao Qi was unique, and there was no other in the world.

Moreover, she didn’t think that Xiao Qi was a pet. She was her friend and relative.

When Su Qing, Xiaoying, and the rest returned with the coal, Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi were anxious. “You’ve done all the work for us, so what will we do?”

“There’s more. Go and move it!”

Jiang Yuyan pouted her lips towards the coal cave. She had yet to recover from her shock. She wanted to see how big brother and big brother Li would react when they saw this talented little gal. Would they be as flabbergasted as he was?

Xiao Qi loved to eat barbecue the most. To reward Xiao Qi, Su Qing made a small stove for her. Every time they roasted meat outside, Xiao Qi would swallow her saliva.

The smell of stewed and roasted pork caught the attention of a group of people. They sniffed hard to ensure the scent came from the forest, then dismounted and walked into the forest..
