"..."
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle's eyes nearly widened, and he quickly gripped the wine cup in his hand, looking as if he were guarding against a thief.
The two were used to bickering, so Jiang Si smiled and didn't get involved.
After finishing her meal, she told her third uncle everything she had prepared.
She had previously mentioned that a lot of things were missing from her home, but she didn't go into details about what exactly was missing.
In addition, Shen Xiuwen purchases supplies from the black market every month.
So when he heard that these things were found in the cellar, Third Uncle didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he solemnly handed a black dragon-shaped thumb ring to Jiang Si.
This thumb ring was one of the tokens he kept when he founded the gang. Although the gang was disbanded years ago, he still has many followers and descendants.
These people later returned to their hometowns, and the vast majority of them went on to do the right thing.
Some people have returned to their old ways, engaging in double-crossing and other illegal activities.
"Keep this ring safe. If you encounter any troublesome people on the road, they won't make things difficult for you as long as they see this."
Jiang Si knew her third uncle's temperament; if she didn't accept the ring, he might send someone to personally escort her to Qiongzhou Island.
Moreover, cases of theft and serious robbery on trains were not uncommon during that era.
It's naturally better for her to have an extra layer of security when she goes out alone.
Without saying a word, Jiang Si accepted the ring.
But having this ring alone wasn't enough. Next, Uncle Zhong taught her three life-saving tricks.
In short: gouge eyes, kick groin, chop neck!
Women don't need any particular rules when they fight.
Saving your life is the most important thing.
These are the most vulnerable parts of the human body; even a little force can cause the other person excruciating pain.
It is especially suitable for women like Jiang Si who have no experience.
"Be careful, this is your first time traveling far from home."
"Remember to call us after you get off the train, okay?"
As he spoke, Third Uncle sighed. He was already worried even before they had left the house.
Jiang Si nodded. If it weren't for the fact that she was a capitalist's daughter, she wouldn't have been willing to leave.
"Third Uncle, once I've settled things over there, I'll bring you and Uncle Zhong over as well."
"Qiongzhou Island has mild winters and cool summers, good air quality, and an endless supply of seafood, making it an ideal place to retire!"
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle's lips twitched, thinking to himself: You didn't say that before. Before, whenever Qiongzhou Island was mentioned, your little face would scrunch up like a bitter gourd.
However, seeing Jiang Si's serious expression, Third Uncle didn't spoil her fun.
"Okay, then we'll go to Qiongzhou Island, have some beer, and eat clams!"
My third great-uncle's ancestral home is in Shandong Province. When he was happy, he blurted out his hometown dialect.
"Yeah, let's go beachcombing together! Dig for oysters and collect big crabs~~"
"Okay, okay, bring plenty of buckets, a sieve, a rake, and a shovel."
"With so many of us, wouldn't we be digging up a whole sackful?"
Hahaha~~
The three of them got happier and happier as they talked. They hadn't even gone yet, but they were already looking forward to the life of going beachcombing!
