South Wind took out the hoe he had prepared from the carriage.

Including Fan Mingyuan and MO Yuan, the four of them each took one and prepared to create a path up the mountain.

Brother Hao and Sister Huan also ran to help.

It was winter now, and the weeds had withered. It wasn’t difficult to clean them up, but Song Jingchen’s back was already injured, and he had to bend down to do this kind of work. After a while, there was a faint trace of blood on his back.

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and got into the carriage to pour a gla.s.s of hot water. When no one saw her, she dripped a drop of spiritual liquid into it.

She had used one drop during the emperor’s blessing ceremony. In order to save One Dot, she had used another drop. This was the last drop of spiritual liquid she had saved.

Fortunately, Fan Mingyuan’s body had almost recovered. She didn’t have to drip any more spiritual liquid into the well. She could save it up in the future.

Moreover, it was for Song Jingchen, so Shen Yijia’s heart didn’t ache at all.

Looking at the water handed to him, Song Jingchen paused. “There’s no need to waste it.”

His injuries would recover in a few days. It was a waste to use spiritual liquid.

Shen Yijia glared at him. “What I’m willing to do is not a waste.”

Shen Yijia was already angry, so Song Jingchen didn’t dare to anger her anymore. He quickly drank the water obediently.

Shen Yijia snorted and placed the gla.s.s of water back in the carriage. After informing Madam Li, she went to help out.

Madam Li stayed in the car to comfort her. Since Shen Yijia was no longer around, she did not continue to stay in the carriage.

In the end, the entire family was mobilized.

The main thing was to clear the weeds and dig a way forward with a hoe.

They were working in full swing when a chaotic sound came from behind. They turned around in unison and saw a group of burly men rus.h.i.+ng towards them with hoes, shovels, and knives. There were about twenty to thirty of them.

Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia’s gazes turned cold, and they subconsciously s.h.i.+elded Sister Huan and the others behind them.

The crowd quickly approached. Before Song Jingchen could speak, he was interrupted.

The burly leader scratched his head with a silly smile. “Lord Song, it’s you.

Well, we’re here to help.”

“That’s right. Old Master Song has protected Great Xia for his entire life. There’s no need for you to do this kind of work yourself. Go and rest in the carriage. We’ll do it.”

“Lord Song is still injured. Hurry up and rest in the carriage.”

Everyone spoke one after another, and then Shen Yijia and the others were pushed aside by them.

The few of them looked at each other in confusion. Where did these people come from?

Shen Yijia held onto someone.

It turned out that Madam Li had been recognized when she went to buy incense, candles, and paper money to pay respects to Old Master Song. That person guessed that the Song family was going to pay respects to Old Master Song.

News spread like wildfire. In the end, the commoners in the capital found out about this and even spontaneously organized a selection of such a team. At first, they thought that the Song family would only come tomorrow and wanted to create a road in advance. Unexpectedly, they saw someone busy at the foot of the mountain from afar.

That was not acceptable. They couldn’t do anything for Old Master Song. It wasn’t easy for them to fight for such a chance with their strong bodies. How could they let others s.n.a.t.c.h it away?

Hence, what Shen Yijia and the others saw was a group of people rus.h.i.+ng towards them aggressively with tools in their hands.

The reason why they didn’t encounter them on the way was because they took a small path, while the Song family’s carriage took the official road.

The corners of Shen Yijia’s mouth twitched. She thought that they were here to fight. She had already clenched her fists!

“Lord Song, don’t worry. We’re all good at working. We’ll definitely repair this road neatly.”

“Old Master Song left us with such a peaceful world. Now, we’ll open the path!”

“Yes, we’ll open Old Master Song’s path,” the others said in unison.

Song Jingchen’s heart seemed to have been hit.

Was this the reason why his grandfather had instructed him not to implicate the commoners before he died?

That’s right. It wasn’t that they didn’t know how to be grateful, but they didn’t know anything. Once they knew the truth, they would do their best to do the right thing.

Song Jingchen cupped his hands and bowed deeply. “I thank everyone on behalf of Grandfather.’

His solemnity made everyone present feel a little ashamed.

“Lord Song, don’t say that. This is what we should do. To be honest, we didn’t protect Old Master Song. We’ve let the Song family down.” A burly man’s eyes turned red as he spoke.

Song Jingchen shook his head. “It has nothing to do with you.’

Madam Li pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. It was only at this moment that she understood why her father, brother, and father-in-law still wanted to protect Great Xia with their lives even though they knew that the higher ups were incredibly paranoid people.

It was because they had never done it for the person sitting above them. They did it for these commoners..
