Chapter 1128: Goal Achieved
"Dad, we still have a few unused furs at home."
Zhuoma didn’t understand why her father said that. He was clearly worried that he wouldn’t be able to sell the furs at home this year!
Jiang Wan was not stupid either. She naturally knew that Zhuo Er was on guard against them, so she smiled.
“There aren’t many people in our business who collect mountain products, so if you’re worried, you can bring the furs to us and sell them.
But we don’t have much time, so if it’s inconvenient for you, forget it.”
She had no intention of coming here to collect any spoils, and since the other party was on guard against her, there was no need to rush forward.
Moreover, she had never thought of going to the village with them. She collected the furs only because she was worried that it would be too cold, so she found an excuse to bring back some things to keep Muxiang and the others warm.
Seeing Jiang Wan say this, Zhuo Er's doubts were dispelled, and his eyes fell on Mu Xiang and the others in the tent.
This is the first time I see so many women collecting furs.
In the past, those who came to collect furs were all tall and strong men.
“Convenient, convenient!”
Zhuoma quickly pulled Zhuoer, who had a stern face, to help. The weather was so cold and the family was short of money to buy charcoal.
If you don’t take it out now, when will you?
"Then hurry up, we'll be leaving soon after we pack up."
Jiang Wan did not show an impatient expression, but they were indeed anxious to leave.
We must find a suitable place to live tonight.
Zhuoma was very excited, "Our village is not far away, why not..."
"Please follow me."
Although Zhuo Er also had doubts, he considered that Jiang Wan and his group were not many in number.
There are so many women and so many people in their village. If anything really happens, at least they can be subdued.
"OK."
While Jiang Wan was negotiating with them, Muxiang and Ruoshui had already packed up all their things except for the largest tent.
After Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan got on the carriage with their children, Song Si and Song Wu packed up the tent.
Seeing that they were still holding children in their arms, Zhuo Er felt something was wrong. He lowered his voice and said to Zhuoma:
"Zhuoma, have you ever seen someone collecting mountain products with a child?"
"Maybe his family is not well off."
Zhuoma had a simple mind. She smiled happily when she thought that with the money, their family would have a better life this winter.
Seeing his daughter's heartless look, Zhuo Er felt helpless, but he still led the way obediently.
He and Zhuo Er were riding a sled, so the distance that was not far for them was still a bit far for Jiang Wan and his group's carriage.
Seeing how smoothly they slide, Muxiang looked envious, "I didn't expect a small piece of wood to be faster than our carriage."
"Other people are used to it, but you can't adapt to it."
Ruoshui was as sharp-tongued as ever, and Muxiang was too lazy to pay attention to her. However, Jiang Wan, who was in the carriage in front, saw them sledding.
I felt itchy in my heart for a moment.
Song Jiuyuan kept an eye on her and couldn't help but rub her hair and said:
"Do you want to skate too?"
He didn't ask her if she could do it. To Song Jiuyuan, his princess seemed to be omnipotent.
"I want to, but I'm not very good at skating."
Jiang Wan had been to the snowy mountains in her previous life, but her memory was a bit distant and she was not very familiar with it.
If you give her a sled now, she may not be able to use it.
"When we get back, if you want to skate I'll go with you."
Song Jiuyuan smiled dotingly. As long as Wanwan wanted to do it, he would be happy to accompany Jiang Wan to do it.
"Forget it. The child is still in the carriage. I am worried."
It was also at this moment that Jiang Wan understood the mentality of those mothers.
I really don't feel comfortable leaving such a small baby to anyone except myself.
"Where are Muxiang and the others?"
Song Jiuyuan, as a father, is a very open-minded person, so Jiang Wan didn't dwell on this topic anymore.
"It's very cold, and we don't have enough quilts, so it's a good opportunity to ask Song Wu and Song Wu to collect some furs and give them to use at night."
Such good leather is not easy to buy. If possible, Jiang Wan doesn’t mind collecting some and storing it in space.
"Um."
Song Jiuyuan agreed with her on this point, and they were not far from the place where the treasure map was hidden.
They had to find some excuses, otherwise it would be bad if the group that hurt Sheng’s parents targeted them!
After climbing over a mountain, they could vaguely see smoke rising from cooking fires. Zhuoer did not take them into the village.
Instead, he stood in front of them and said, “Please wait a moment, I will go and talk to the villagers.
They will give you the furs. Hunting is not easy for us mountain people, so I hope you will give a decent price."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."
Jiang Wan made a promise that although she loved money, she would not be so stingy.
This village looked very remote, and people must be living an ordinary life, so there was no need for her to kill them.
After getting Jiang Wan's approval, Zhuo Er went into the village to call people, while Zhuoma stayed to accompany them.
"Sir, all the men in our village are good at hunting and skinning. The skins must be of the best quality."
She looked at Jiang Wan's delicate face and said with a smile, "Madam is so beautiful, it will definitely look good if you make a few coats for her."
"I'll take a closer look later. Girl, what's your name?"
Jiang Wan handed the child to Song Jiuyuan, who held one in each hand, while Jiang Wan took out a handful of roasted chestnuts and handed them to Zhuoma.
She had roasted it this morning when she saw there was a fire in the stove, and it was still hot.
"My name is Zhuoma, thank you!"
Zhuoma was a cheerful girl. She took the roasted chestnuts from Jiang Wan without hesitation.
But she couldn't bear to eat it, she wanted to leave it for her father and mother.
"By the way, Zhuoma, are there any other villages near you?"
Jiang Wan casually said, "I knew your village wasn't far away.
We should have stayed at your place last night, it's a bit cold out in the wild."
"There's no more nearby, but there is one over the mountain. My aunt's house is just opposite."
Zhuoma was very naive. She believed Jiang Wan's words and didn't think much about it.
Jiang Wan then asked the question in her mind, "Then do you know how far Tianjie Ridge is?"
The closer Jiang Wan got to the treasure, the less clear the map became.
She could only find the locals to ask, and this was her purpose of getting close to Zhuoma.
Zhuoma tilted her head and thought for a while, "I seem to have heard that we have to cross three more mountains and walk around the icy lake.
But there are not many people there, and it is the upper reaches of the ice lake, so there is a lot of water when the snow melts.
It's very dangerous. We don't go there often. What are you going to sit there for?"
"Ah, there's no one living over there?"
Jiang Wan looked confused. "I heard that a relative of mine lives nearby. I was planning to go there to collect furs."
"That might be Tianjie Village. There is indeed a village over three mountains, but it is far away from Tianjie Ridge.
My mother used to live in that village, and my uncles and his family also lived there, so I went there often. "
Zhuoma was talking to Jiang Wan with a smile. Jiang Wan caught a glimpse of Zhuo Er's voice from the corner of her eye, so she smiled and said:
"Thank you. Now I know how to get there. I shouldn't go wrong."
