A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 9: Saving Brother at the Border

The team originally had three people, and now it has grown to nine people. Yun Lei also bought a carriage.

A group of nine, sleeping in the open, rushed to the border. With a day's journey left, they reached a valley when they heard shouts and cries of fighting ahead. They saw a caravan under siege, their belongings being robbed. Their clothing revealed they were from a nearby country, crossing the border to plunder supplies. Yun Lei arranged for Yun Feng and Jiang Wu to protect Qi Qi, while the six of them rushed forward to join the battle. They were already skilled in martial arts, and recently, they had taken turns reading a martial arts manual in the carriage, making significant progress. Soon, the six of them, working together, repelled the enemy. The caravan was led by a valiant woman. She came over to thank them for saving her life. She asked them where they were going, and knowing they were heading to the border, they decided to join them. Qi Qi was very fond of this sister; she felt like the one from her dreams.

"Sister, can I ride on your horse?" "Come on." Yun Lei lifted Qiqi onto the woman's horse. He sat in front of her horse and chatted with her, explaining that he was going to the border to visit his brother. They casually discussed whether Qiqi had been coming to the border often recently and what places she had visited. The young woman explained that she came frequently, monthly. She owned several food and supplies shops in the border town, and every month they bought food from far away. They then transported it to the border town, making a profit. There was another reason the woman hadn't told Qiqi: her father was the general affairs officer at the border, responsible for all the food supplies. Every year, there wasn't enough food at the border, and civilians died of starvation every winter. The soldiers at the border grew their own food, but even the military rations weren't enough. Her father, who often went out to buy food himself, injured his leg when the enemy robbed him of his food. Now, he's wheelchair-bound and retired. Qiqi had practiced martial arts since childhood and possessed considerable skill. She organized a caravan and opened a shop in the border town, hoping to ensure food security for the people.

"Sister, do you often encounter robbers who steal supplies? Did you encounter one last month?" Qiqi was a bit petty and asked in a roundabout way. "Yes, we did. We encountered robbers who stole military rations, and a young soldier was poisoned! I gave him an antidote pill to temporarily control the poison. I was afraid he couldn't find the antidote. I arranged for Xiao Si to deliver the medicine half a month ago. I don't know how he is now. I'll go see him when we get to the border. My uncle is a doctor and often goes up the mountain to collect herbs. I asked my uncle for an antidote pill. Let's see if it can help the young soldier detoxify this time." Qiqi realized that the young soldier was her brother.

"Sister, my name is Jiang Qiqi. What's your surname? I can go with you. I will also go to the military camp to find my brother." "Qiqi, little sister, you are so cute. My name is Sun Yuyan. You can go with us. With you joining my team, it will be stronger. Those who want to rob supplies will have to think twice." Sun Yuyan replied.

"Sister, I'll give you an apple. We grew it ourselves, and it's very sweet." Yunfeng felt a little aggrieved. "Yesterday, I asked Qiqi for it, but she said it was almost gone, so she kept it for her brother at the border." "Thank you, Qiqi." Everyone quickly packed up, lifted the injured hand into the car, and soon set off.

The journey was relatively safe. Xie Lei dealt with a few petty thieves he encountered. They arrived at the border town in the evening. The guards recognized Sun Yuyan and her group and quickly opened the gates. Sun Yuyan had her assistant drive the cart to deliver the goods to the store. She led Qiqi and the others to the military camp.

Although the guards at the military camp knew Sun Yuyan, they also told them to wait outside. After reporting, they were allowed to enter the camp. Jiang Yunming heard the report that the caravan leader, Sun Yuyan, had arrived. He knew she was here to see his brother, who was still unconscious and hadn't found the antidote. If Sun Yuyan hadn't been there, he wouldn't have known if he could have survived until now. They hurried to the city gate. Yunfeng was quick-eyed and called out, "Second brother, second brother!" Qiqi followed suit.

Jiang Yunming was startled when he heard his brother's voice. How could it be his younger brother's voice? He had grown taller in the past five years. He immediately picked Yunfeng up. "It's Sixth Brother, Fifth Brother, why are you here?" Qiqi saw that her second brother didn't hold her and squeezed over. "Second brother, I'm Qiqi, why don't you hold me?" Yunfeng looked down and saw a tiny person hugging his legs and shaking. "It's Qiqi's sister," he immediately picked Qiqi up. Am I dreaming again? Sun Yuyan was also surprised. Jiang Yunming was Qiqi's brother, and the injured Jiang Yuntian was Qiqi's eldest brother. How could fate be so perfect? I saved Qiqi's brother, and Qiqi and the others saved me.

Yunming carried Qiqi, led Sun Yuyan and two younger brothers to Jiang Yuntian's residence quickly. Entering the house, Qiqi, Yunfeng and Yunlei saw their brother lying motionless on the bed. "Brother" had tears in his eyes, but he didn't let himself cry. Qiqi came to the bed and stretched out his hand to feel his brother's pulse, and gave him some spiritual energy. Then he walked to the table, picked up the cup, and secretly put some spiritual spring water in it. Qiqi asked the second brother to feed the eldest brother some water, and then draw some blood from the eldest brother in the evening and put it in the medical space to test what kind of poison it was. Then prepare the antidote. Sun Yuyan also took out the detoxification pills given by her uncle. She gave it to Jiang Yunming and asked him to feed it to Yuntian. Qiqi saw Sun Yuyan's sad expression when she looked at her eldest brother, ah, sister-in-law is here, this fate can't be stopped. I must cure my brother as soon as possible, while sister Yuyan is in the border city, let them cultivate their relationship.

Sun Yuyan accompanied Qiqi to dinner and then returned to the shop. Qiqi and her brothers finished their meal and went to their eldest brother's room to draw some blood. Qiqi returned to the room and put the blood into the medical space robot for analysis. It turned out to be the Five Poison Powder, a poison made from five different poisons. The space robot quickly analyzed the antidote, which Qiqi had personally prepared. The space robot had all the Chinese medicinal herbs.

Qiqi placed the antidote in her eldest brother's mouth and fed him some spiritual spring water. She took out a silver needle and gave him acupuncture, injecting spiritual energy to force the poison out of him. Qiqi's face gradually turned pale, and some of her spiritual energy was overdrawn. Qiqi took out her bag of pills and took a few, trying to hold on. The poison was forced into her finger, and Qiqi asked her brother Yunlei to cut his finger and bleed it. The blood was all black, but she knew it was fresh blood. She stopped the bleeding and held her brother up. Qiqi staggered and fell headfirst onto the bed.

"Qiqi, Qiqi, what's wrong with you?" Yun Ming said anxiously. "Hurry up and call a doctor." The doctor came over and felt Qiqi's pulse. "It's nothing. You may have fainted from exhaustion. You will wake up soon."

About a quarter of an hour later, Qiqi woke up. "Qiqi, are you still feeling unwell? Here's some chicken soup," Yunlei said. Jiang Yuntian also woke up at that moment. Qiqi hugged her brother and burst into tears. "Brother, you scared us to death. I'm Qiqi. I came here with my fifth and sixth brothers," Qiqi said, her lips trembling with tears. Jiang Yuntian had been unconscious for so many days, and when he woke up, he was a little confused. He hadn't seen the beautiful little baby crying and hugging him, calling him brother. But when he saw the fifth and sixth brothers, he realized the pretty little girl in his arms was his sister.

"Qiqi, big brother is fine. Why did you come to the border? Do parents know?" Yunfeng quickly took over the conversation and told his big brother the reason why they came here, and also told his brothers everything they encountered along the way. Yuntian hugged Qiqi and kissed her forehead. His sister was four years old and could be better than her brothers. The brothers also praised Qiqi. Qiqi is our little lucky star. If it weren't for the antidote developed by Qiqi, brother's poison would never be cured. The brothers asked about their parents' situation, quickly repaired the book, and sent it back to the capital.

At that moment, Sun Yuyan arrived at the barracks to visit Jiang Yuntian. Delighted to see him out in the fields, Qiqi asked her brothers to show her around the camp. Qiqi, shrewdly aware of Sun Yuyan's feelings for her brother, gave them some privacy, and had his men watch the door to prevent anyone from disturbing them. Qiqi observed the soldiers' drafty sleeping quarters, starving for food and unable to afford repairs. She surveyed the surrounding terrain, which revealed a strategic location surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it a well-defended and difficult-to-attack location. She then asked her brothers to take her to the mountains to find limestone, which was not readily available for lime production, to build a house. Entering the city again, Qiqi noticed numerous gaps in the wall that needed repair. Summer rains would widen the gaps, posing a significant threat to neighboring states who might raid the border town for supplies. The surrounding area was abundant with trees, and limestone was readily available in the mountains, eliminating the need for purchases. The mountains were plentiful for building a house. It can also crush gravel into small pebbles, and then crush limestone and mix it with lime, paste it on the city wall, and it will not be afraid of even cannons. Go back to the military camp and tell your brother first to let him discuss it with your uncle. Wow, I was busy with my brother, but I didn’t see my uncle. Then I remembered that my uncle should know that the three siblings came to the military camp for two days. It turned out that Qiqi’s uncle was not in the military camp. The eldest nephew was unconscious, and he was very anxious. He heard that a traveling Taoist priest came nearby with good medical skills and cured many difficult and complicated diseases of the nearby villagers. His uncle’s name is Zhao Liancheng, and he has been looking for him for two days. A soldier came running from a distance, "Report to the general, the major general is awake."
