Chapter 1129 Weird Village
Just as Zhuoma was about to say something, she saw her father coming over carrying a few pieces of leather, and she immediately jumped up excitedly.
"My dear, look at the leather my father is carrying. It is most suitable for making coats for girls."
If her family was not short of money, Zhuoma would have wanted to make herself a few beautiful coats.
"It looks good. Muxiang, Song Si, and Song Wu, you guys go collect the furs, and remember to give a fair price."
After getting the answer she wanted, Jiang Wan felt a little lazy and simply left these things to Muxiang and Ruoshui.
Muxiang and the others were naturally very happy, but she didn't know the prices.
Fortunately, Ruoshui often went out to purchase medicinal materials and had been around the world, so she had a good understanding of the prices.
Since Jiang Wan said the price should be more fair, they would naturally do so.
Zhuoma jumped over to see, and Jiang Wan rested her chin on her hand and watched a group of people walking out of the village.
"Wanwan, we will soon reach our destination. I think it's dangerous for the children to be outside, so why don't you keep them inside?"
Song Jiuyuan was still anxious to wipe out the entire Sheng family, and was always worried about a surprise attack by that group of people.
"fine."
Jiang Wan tilted her head and said with a smile, "We brought the children with us, which made them less wary.
After all, who would bring a baby with them when they go treasure hunting, right? "
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Jiang Wan smiled, "Don't worry, I will hide them at the critical moment."
Even if the space is exposed, she will protect her children.
Over there, Zhuoma and Zhuoer were very happy because the price was relatively reasonable.
The village was not big. Although the men in every household knew how to hunt, some families had already sold their furs to the nearest town because they were in a hurry to use the money.
So not every household has fur.
The onlookers were so upset when they saw that the price they offered was so fair that they beat their chests.
It’s a pity that I sold it at a loss before!
The people with fur jumped up excitedly, and each of them had a bright smile on their face.
“Their joy is so simple.”
Jiang Wan sighed softly. Perhaps because she had gained so much, it was not so easy for her to be happy.
By the time Muxiang and the others had carefully packed up the furs and trapped them in the supplies cart at the back, an hour had passed.
Muxiang came running over and said, "Master, I collected forty or fifty skins. I can make a lot of capes and coats when I go back."
"Please keep it carefully. You can use it as a blanket to keep warm at night. Make sure it doesn't get wet."
Jiang Wan thought so too. Taking it back would be a gift to Madam Song, Li'er and Chuchu.
"Master, don't worry. I have experience in this area!"
Ruoshui is someone who has even eaten unknown plants in the mountains, so these are no big deal to her.
After Gan Ze helped them pack up and when they left, the villagers waved goodbye to them enthusiastically.
At this time, Zhuoma trotted out of the village with a package in her hand.
"My dear!"
She stopped outside Jiang Wan's carriage and handed the oil-paper bag to Jiang Wan with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, this is my gift to you."
Jiang Wan not only gave her chestnuts, but also gave everyone's furs at a much higher price. She was particularly grateful to her.
"Thank you, too."
Jiang Wan liked innocent and enthusiastic girls like Zhuoma. She smiled and reminded:
"Go back quickly. The New Year is coming soon. Keep your supplies tight and don't let anyone take advantage of you."
She observed that Zhuoma's family sold the most furs, and she thought that her father had not had time to go to the town to sell them.
The village urchins were jealous to see that they had more money in their hands.
Zhuoma didn't understand what Jiang Wan meant. She waved her hands foolishly and watched Jiang Wan and his carriage go away.
When she got home, Zhuo Er was waiting for her at the door. "What took you so long?"
"Dad, the nobleman asked us to hold on to the money tightly, because the New Year is coming."
Zhuoma tilted her head innocently. Zhuoma's brother reacted the fastest and rushed into the house.
"Dad, we'd better hide this silver carefully. Many people are jealous of us for exchanging so much silver today."
"I know what's going on. Don't sleep too deeply tonight."
Zhuo Er is a man who has experienced many storms, but he is still very grateful for Jiang Wan's reminder.
It seems that his silly daughter has met a good person.
On the other side, Jiang Wan opened the oil paper package given by Zhuoma, which contained a few golden fried pancakes.
Probably a specialty of their place, Jiang Wan had never eaten it before. She took a small piece and tasted it, and it tasted quite good.
"Mm, it's delicious, Song Jiuyuan, would you like to try it?"
"You dare to eat it without testing for poison."
Song Jiuyuan first used a silver needle to check it, and then he tasted it to make sure it was fine.
Probably made of flour ground from corn, the pancakes were very sweet. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan ate two each.
The rest was given to Muxiang and the others.
"Zhuoma said that after crossing three mountains, we will reach Tianjie Village. Let's spend the night there."
Jiang Wan actually didn't want to take the risk of going directly to Tianjie Ridge, so she had to find out the truth in advance.
What if that group of people are lying in ambush there secretly?
She is responsible for everyone's life.
"As you say."
Song Jiuyuan nodded. He didn't even plan to take Muxiang and the others with him.
Muxiang and the others didn't know the details about the treasure hunt and just followed them foolishly.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan both planned to go and check it out tonight.
Afraid that they would not be able to reach the village at night, Jiang Wan and the others did not get off the carriage at noon and just ate some dry food.
After hurrying, we finally saw the village not far away before dark.
What surprised Jiang Wan and the others was that, in such a remote village, the houses were much better than those in Zhuoma's village.
Even several of the houses were newly built, and they were stopped as soon as they arrived in the village.
"Who are you looking for?"
The leader was an old man over fifty years old, who looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old.
However, apart from his white hair, he looked energetic and did not look like an old man at all.
This is the village chief of Tianjie Village, Tianheng!
"Hello."
Jiang Wan lifted the curtain of the carriage, put on a veil on her face, and smiled softly.
"We are here to collect mountain products. We are acquainted with Zhuoma and we are here to look for Zhuoma's uncle Tianyu."
Jiang Wan was very glad that she had spoken a few more words to Zhuoma just now. The distance between the villages was not too far, so the wariness in the old man's eyes dissipated a little.
"So it's a guest from Tianyu. Someone, go and call Tianyu over."
Tianheng waved his hand, and a young man walked into the village.
An ordinary village was so heavily guarded. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and both realized something was wrong.
This doesn't look like a small village at all.
More strictly guarded than the border.
Soon a middle-aged man with a goatee came running over, and he looked at Jiang Wan and the others with a strange look.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Zhuoma introduced us here."
Song Jiuyuan took over the conversation from Jiang Wan, "He said you have furs at home too."
