Chapter 142 - 120 I am the eldest senior brother
The storm poured down.
Inside the ruined temple, there were leaks everywhere, damp and dripping, yet Zhao Ge and the others, exhausted from days of running, didn’t take this opportunity to rest well. After a brief catch-up, they began to get busy.
"Rong Niang, gather anything useful from the bodies on the ground. We can’t waste anything. Now that Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall is gone, we are poor and without possession, neither weapons nor money. The strong bows and crossbows carried by Han Sui and Jin Bufen’s group are all top-notch goods from their hall. Even if we don’t use them, they could be sold for money," he instructed while sitting on a stone inside the dilapidated temple.
"Daughter, go and help your elder sister. Her arm is injured, and she’s inconvenienced, remember to search their clothes thoroughly, see if there are any Qi Blood Pills hidden. If you find any, eat them immediately to replenish the Qi-Blood you lost earlier."
"Yes, Master, I’m on it," Zhao Qian nodded and began to help.
Faced with the corpses spread over the ground, the two girls showed no discomfort; they had grown accustomed to life and death in this era.
Zhao Ge continued, "Shou Hou, I need you to make an effort. Go down the mountain and gather the horses left nearby by those people. Lead back as many as you can, and remember, don’t go too far. Once you’ve got enough, hurry back. In these desolate mountains, there’s no telling what dangers might appear."
"Master, wait a moment. I’ll bring those fine horses back soon," Shou Hou nodded, picked up a bamboo hat from the ground to shield from the rain, found a steel knife, and armed himself with a strong bow before braving the downpour and heading out.
Li Yi was standing guard at the entrance of the ruined temple, sheltered from the rain under an eave, quietly observing this new world.
