Chapter 10 Barren Mountain Crisis

Liu Yueqi yawned. She was confused.'Did I fall asleep after taking a shower last night? I didn't even have time to put Qing' er on the bed.'.

Liu Yueqi glanced beside her and realized that Qing 'er was not lying on the bed like last night..

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of disappointment. Perhaps she couldn't poke her elastic little face when she woke up, which made it less fun…" Young Master, you're awake!" At this moment, the door was pushed open. Qing 'er, who was carrying a small basin, saw Liu Yueqi in a daze and immediately cried out in surprise..

" Young Master, I fell asleep by your bed last night. I woke up earlier today and found that Young Master was still asleep, so I went to prepare hot water for Young Master to wash up…" As he spoke, he placed the basin filled with hot water on the rack..

Hearing this, Liu Yueqi's disappointment was instantly swept away. She said with a slight annoyance,"Silly girl, why do you always sleep on your stomach? You won't sleep on the bed!" Qing 'er blushed when she heard this. She said nonstop,"Without Young Master's permission, how can a servant girl…How can she go to Young Master's bed without permission…".

Qing 'er stuck out her tongue playfully. Liu Yueqi's heart fluttered every time she saw her soft and pink tongue..

Liu Yueqi secretly said,"You can eat me... I don't think it's impossible...".

Liu Yueqi blushed and explained,"Ah? Young Master, what are you talking about?".

" Alright, alright! Young Master, get up quickly. I'll prepare breakfast for Young Master!" Qing 'er ran out again..

After a while of busy work, Liu Yueqi went to see her father. Third Uncle had already left last night, so her father didn't go out today..

When Liu Yuelin heard that Bai Yeqing had come to Liuyue Manor yesterday, she was quite surprised. That girl had really come. It was really difficult for her…Later, she heard that Liu Yueqi had managed to control the eldest miss of the Bai family with a piece of roast meat. Liu Yuelin did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, as her father, how could he not know when Liu Yueqi knew how to cook? He had come back from the dead once, but his brain had been enlightened? He was still outstanding in cooking. Was there any hope for him to catch the exam this year? After that, Liu Yueqi began to do her own thing. Yesterday, she had basically found a suitable filtering material. Today, she could try to purify the crude salt. Liu Yueqi didn't understand the complicated process, but she could still do the simple operation of dissolving the crude salt and then filtering and drying it..

A small amount of refined salt was made in the morning half a day. It was not exactly refined salt. It was just a little pure, but the taste was already very good..

After having a quick lunch at noon, he took Qing 'er out again..

Yesterday, he brought Qing 'er to visit the large and small spice shops and medicine shops in the city. Buying some delicious spices was one of them. He also wanted to see if he could find something like cumin! He seemed to have heard that cumin could be used as medicine in the past. He did not know if it was true or false. He just went to the medicine shop to try his luck. However, he did not get anything yesterday..

Today, he wanted to go to those spice shops to have a look, especially the spices imported from the northwest region. If he was lucky, he might really find cumin..

Wandering around the city at night can help Liu Yueqi understand the local customs more deeply, so that she can better integrate into the life here in the future..

Liu Yueqi was glad that she was a rich kid when she transmigrated. Otherwise, she might be working in the fields with her parents now. She probably didn't even have the time to purify crude salt..

The heavens paid off. Liu Yueqi found cumin in a local spice shop! However, the quantity was not much. According to the shop owner, he picked it from a barren mountain in the suburbs. It smelled strange. He dried it and used it as spice. Maybe someone liked the taste! He happened to meet Liu Yueqi! Liu Yueqi waved her hand and bought all the cumin grass. She asked the shop owner if there was any more in stock. After receiving negative news, she asked the barren mountain address where she picked the grass and hurried back to Liu Yue Prefecture..

In the mansion, Liu Yueqi fried the cumin she bought and ground it into powder together with the star anise cinnamon. After drying it, simple cumin powder was made! In an instant, the fragrance wafted into the nose. Even Qing 'er's eyes were filled with splendor..

Liu Yueqi rubbed it with her finger and put it in her mouth. Although it didn't feel very authentic, it tasted really good..

Liu Yueqi brought the bowl filled with cumin powder to Qing 'er and said," Qing' er, taste it! I'm sure it's one of the greatest creations of this century!" Qing 'er naturally laughed at Liu Yueqi's boasting. After thinking for a while, she held Liu Yueqi's hand and pulled out a finger. She imitated Liu Yueqi and let that finger rub the cumin powder in the bowl. Then, she opened her mouth and sucked that finger. Her beautiful eyes lit up, as if she was shocked by the taste..

Liu Yueqi didn't know what to say. Qing 'er, don't you have your own fingers? Why do you have to use my fingers? There's only a little powder. Do you want to lick it for so long? Liu Yueqi felt that tender tongue circling around her fingertips. It was so fun to lick it..

Just when Liu Yueqi was about to scream, Qing 'er let go of Liu Yueqi's finger..

"Young Master, this is delicious!" Liu Yueqi licked her lips as she spoke. She looked as if she was still not satisfied."Young Master, let's go to that barren mountain! What's this called…cumin? It's really good. Let's go get more!".

"Young Master, think about it. That shop owner knows this. If he wants to make money, he will definitely go to that barren mountain to look for it again. If we don't hurry, someone will definitely take it first!" Liu Yueqi thought for a moment. Qing 'er's words were reasonable, so she agreed and followed her out of the door to sit in the carriage."I know where it is. Qing' er will take you there!".

The barren mountain that the shop owner pointed out was in the suburbs, far away from residential areas. As the carriage moved forward, there were fewer and fewer people. Liu Yueqi felt as if she had returned to the embrace of nature. The natural environment here was not polluted by modern industry. It could be said that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the birds were singing and flowers were fragrant..

The only strange thing was that Qing 'er, who excitedly said she was going out, didn't say much along the way. No one knew what she was thinking about..

After nearly two hours, they arrived at the location the shop owner had mentioned. At this time, the afternoon was almost over. In Liu Yueqi's words, it was around four in the afternoon..

After traveling for so long on the road, it can be seen that this location is still relatively remote..

When they got out of the car, Qing 'er suddenly hugged Liu Yueqi's arm and said,"Young Master... why don't we... let's not go today? We can just order our servants to go in the future!" Liu Yueqi felt that Qing' er was a little silly. She had already come, but she went back without doing anything. Wouldn't it be a waste to come? Liu Yueqi gently knocked Qing 'er's head and said,"You're the one who said it, and you're the one who said you want to go back. You really deserve a spanking!""The little boy pouted, turning his head away from him..

Liu Yueqi asked the servant who was driving the carriage to wait at the same place while she accompanied Qing 'er up the mountain..

This was indeed a barren mountain. The altitude was not high, and it was not even considered a mountain. It was just a small mound. There were not many trees on the mountain, and there were traces of people walking through the bushes. It seemed that what the shopkeeper said was true. Someone had indeed been here..

Liu Yueqi and Qing 'er looked around the periphery of the forest but couldn't find cumin. They had no choice but to walk deeper into the forest..

As she walked, Liuyue Qi suddenly felt something wrong, and this feeling suddenly appeared in Liuyue Qi's mind..

Liu Yueqi glanced at Qing 'er beside him. Qing' er seemed to be looking for traces of cumin everywhere seriously..

Liu Yueqi shook her head. She only felt that this was an illusion. She continued walking forward. However, as the sky grew darker, Liu Yueqi's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. At a certain moment, Liu Yueqi could no longer bear it and said,"Qing 'er, let's not look anymore! Let's go back!" Qing' er was stunned for a moment. Without asking why, she replied,"Okay!" Then, she turned around and walked in the direction she came from. However, before she could take two steps, she heard a low laughter..

" Hehehe... A mere mortal, did he notice it? What a pity! It's too late!" Liu Yueqi's voice carried a trace of evil intent, and it was so low and terrifying!" F * ck!" Liu Yueqi thought to herself. She suddenly remembered that as a transmigrator, she definitely couldn't roast and fry cumin every day. She didn't expect this danger to come on the third day after she transmigrated. Can she give him some time to prepare?" At this moment, Liu Yueqi realized that there was a person standing on a thick branch of a tree not far away from her..

Although they were far away, Liu Yueqi recognized him at a glance. It was actually the guard at his residence, San Gui! Liu Yueqi had met him once or twice, so she naturally recognized him..

" Who are you? What do you want?" Liu Yueqi asked. She was thinking about how to escape. As a transmigrator, there should be a beautiful woman who would descend from the sky to save the main character from danger and then marry him…" Young Master Liu Yue! Don't you know me? I'm San Gui. I'm your servant!" San Gui laughed and said with a smug expression..

" You…" Liu Yueqi felt that this guy might be a pervert. Qing 'er was still by her side. No matter what, she had to protect Qing' er first. With this in mind, she reached out to hold Qing 'er's small hand and stopped her behind her..

This protective behavior somehow angered San Gui. He shouted angrily,"Little b * stard! Release me!" While Liu Yueqi was still thinking about what this guy meant, a thick green smoke came out of San Gui's mouth and instantly appeared in front of Liu Yueqi..

Before Liu Yueqi could hold his breath, he felt the world spin. Before he fainted, he heard Qing 'er's anxious cry..

If he was going to die, what should Qing 'er do…
