Chapter 68 Yanqiu's Death
Watching the two pouring their hearts out to each other, He Baobao felt the time was right and asked, "What about this person?"
Shi An turned to look at Chu Ci, revealing a pitiful expression, and complained to her, "My lady, he just said he was going to kill me, and he seems to know Zhao Qing and also knows what happened that day."
Upon hearing the name Zhao Qing, Chu Ci's eyes sharpened, and he exuded a cold aura: "Since he is connected with that wanted criminal, I will personally escort him to the authorities."
He Baobao saw that Yanqiu had an injury on his abdomen and hesitated for a moment, "This... should we treat him? In case he dies on the way."
Chu Ci sneered, his eyes still filled with malice: "No need, you brought it on yourself."
After saying that, she found a cloth in the house and wrapped Yanqiu up in layers of clothing, then dragged her away.
Seeing this, He Baobao also took his leave and went back, after all, the clinic still had many things to do.
However, what He Baobao didn't know was that Chu Ci wasn't heading towards the government office at all, but rather towards a mass grave.
Upon arriving at the mass grave, Chu Ci looked at Yan Qiu lying on the ground, squatted down expressionlessly, reached out through the cloth to grab Yan Qiu's neck, and twisted it sharply.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Yanqiu's head drooped limply, completely lifeless.
Chu Ci stood up, clapped his hands, casually tossed the corpse aside, and turned to leave.
When Chu Ci got home, she burned the clothes she had worn that day and took several showers before coming out.
Shi An was also busy, shoveling away all the soil stained with Yan Qiu's blood to make sure the house was spotless.
After dealing with all that, Chu Ci told Shi An some good news.
"The Master has given me a day off, so I don't need to go today."
"Really?" Shi An's face showed a hint of surprise.
Chu Ci pulled him close and kissed the corner of his mouth. "I'll stay with you all day. What do you want to do?"
Shi An thought for a moment, then said shyly, "I want you to hug me more and kiss me more."
Chu Ci laughed, "Is it that simple?"
Shi An nodded and threw herself into her arms. "You've been so busy lately, it's been a long time since we've been close."
Lately, I've been studying the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) in the morning, practicing swordsmanship in the afternoon, and reviewing my books in the evening.
During this time, one must also pay attention to the notices issued by the government from time to time and select suitable wanted criminals to kill.
Working from dawn till dusk, the two of them spoke less and less.
Shi An felt a little neglected.
Actually, he's become more spoiled. He feels a pang of sadness if he doesn't get close to Chu Ci for a day, and he always wants Chu Ci to love him more.
Upon hearing Shi An's request, Chu Ci hugged him and kissed him several times, saying, "Then let's stay together all day."
Shi An was overjoyed, "Okay."
After lunch, the two snuggled up in bed together, basking in the sun while reading storybooks.
The warm sunlight shone down, making everyone feel cozy and comfortable. Before long, Chu Ci fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Shi An quietly sat up straight from Chu Ci's embrace, carefully took the storybook from her hands, and then sat quietly on the edge of the bed, gazing at her silently.
As Shi An gazed at Chu Ci, a surge of warmth welled up within her, and she couldn't help but lean forward and gently kiss his lips.
Then, he stole a second, a third, a fourth kiss...
After the kiss, Shi An covered her face, blushing deeply, and sighed inwardly, "I can never get enough of kissing you!"
Now, he longs to become one with the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu).
However, he and Chu Ci have already bathed together and been honest with each other, so when will they finally consummate their marriage?
Shi An raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Ci's eyebrows and eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she leaned over and snuggled into Chu Ci's arms.
Never mind, she's right here in front of me, she can come anytime she wants.
Let nature take its course...
In the afternoon, after Chu Ci woke up, she and Shi An stayed in bed together. They had been married for about half a year and were still newlyweds. They kissed hands and lips all the time, and they couldn't get enough of kissing.
It wasn't until evening, when Shi An got out of bed to cook, that the two separated.
When Shi An poured the oil into the pot, she felt her mouth go numb.
But he was very happy, you could say extremely happy.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the entire room.
After Shi An and Chu Ci finished breakfast, they went to the Master's house together.
Master Li already knew about yesterday's events, but he only glanced at Shi An and said nothing more.
The Master's study was spacious and bright, with many chairs.
Chu Ci sat in the first row, listening attentively to the lecture, while Shi An sat quietly in the last row, doing his own thing without making a sound.
Sometimes he would pick up a needle and thread to embroider, and sometimes he would open a book to read, always remaining quiet and peaceful.
After the two left the teacher's house, Chu Ci gently held Shi An's hand and asked tenderly, "Are you adjusting well?"
Shi An smiled and replied, "I'm adapting quite well."
It's less about adapting and more about something I've been longing for.
He wished he could be by Chu Ci's side at all times.
Hearing Shi An's words, Chu Ci nodded in relief and said, "That's good."
Afterwards, the two returned home together, started a fire, cooked, and spent a peaceful and warm day.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ci received a summons from the government, learning that a wanted criminal had escaped into the back mountains.
After finishing school in the morning, Chu Ci returned home and had a simple meal.
While eating, she pondered how to bring up the topic with Shi An.
It wasn't until Shi An was washing the dishes that she carefully said, "I have to go to the back mountain this afternoon. I'll take you to the clinic first, and you can go find Song He and stay with him. It'll be safer that way."
Upon hearing this, Shi An wore a mournful expression. He didn't say a word, but just stared silently at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci felt a little guilty under their gaze and quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible, and I'll try to get home tonight."
Upon hearing this, Shi An couldn't help but let out a cold snort, then strode forward, ignoring Chu Ci.
Upon seeing this, Chu Ci immediately chased after Shi An and took her hand.
Shi An was so angry that she wanted to break free, but she was also reluctant to leave. In the end, she could only awkwardly follow Chu Ci to the clinic.
Song He was busy bandaging a young man's wound at that moment.
When he saw Shi An come in, he quickened his pace and gestured for Shi An to sit down.
After seeing the person off, Chu Ci turned and left, quickly heading towards the back mountain.
The wanted criminal is named Hu Quan, a bandit who has killed countless people and committed numerous atrocities.
The imperial court recently launched a campaign to eliminate these bandits who had been entrenched in the mountains for many years. Although most of the bandits were killed, a small number escaped.
Hu Quan was the second-in-command of the bandits. She was very cautious and fled the scene after hearing rumors. She has not been caught to this day.
The imperial court set her price at seventy taels of silver.
As soon as the Chu Ci entered the mountains and forests, it keenly sensed signs of human activity.
She followed these clues and eventually found Hu Quan in a relatively hidden cave.
At this moment, Hu Quan was resting against a large rock, looking very tired.
