Shen Qingtang explained with a smile, "The coconuts and mangoes on this island are of excellent quality and plentiful, so we don't need to grow them ourselves. As long as we harvest them properly and take care to protect the fruit trees, we can obtain raw materials continuously."
In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason why these fruits grew so well was entirely due to the influence of spatial energy.
Moreover, with this "treasure chest" of space, she doesn't need to worry about the shortage of raw materials at all.
Just as Shen Qingtang's snack business was thriving, the winds on the island never stopped blowing.
The assault boats were unable to sail out to sea, and the exiles and officials were trapped on the island, each one as anxious as ants on a hot plate.
Every day, Constable Zhang would come to ask Shen Qingtang if there was any way to help, and Shen Qingtang could only helplessly say that they could only wait until the wind stopped.
But something even more worrying happened: children began to go missing on the island.
First, a six-year-old boy from a fisherman's family went missing while playing on the beach.
Then a five-year-old girl went missing in her own yard. Her parents searched everywhere, but couldn't find a trace of her.
The atmosphere on the island suddenly became tense.
Some say that a sea monster kidnapped the child.
Some say that the mountain god on the island is angry and wants to sacrifice the child.
Some people say that the children who went missing before have become ghosts and are here to take new children to keep them company.
The rumors spread and became increasingly outrageous, causing widespread panic, especially among families with children who were too afraid to let their children go out.
Upon learning the news, Shen Qingtang was also very anxious. She immediately discussed the matter with Pei Wuwang, Shen Minglan, and others, and decided to organize a team to conduct a comprehensive search of the island, determined to find the missing child and uncover the truth.
Hearing the various rumors circulating outside about the missing child, Shen Qingtang was extremely anxious. She knew she couldn't just sit idly by and wait for her fate; she had to take the initiative and find the mastermind behind it all.
She found Pei Wuwang and said gravely, "We can't wait any longer. We must find those missing children as soon as possible. Isn't your information network very powerful? Could you check the situation on the island and see if there are any suspicious people or places?"
Pei Wuwang nodded and immediately ordered his men to use all his informants and intelligence channels on the island to conduct a secret investigation of the entire island.
However, a day passed, and the men sent out returned to report that they had not found any valuable clues.
"Everyone on the island has been checked, and no suspicious persons have been found. The beach and forests have also been searched, and there is no trace of any missing children."
The guard knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.
Pei Wuwang frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
His information network had never failed before, but this time he couldn't find a single clue, which meant that the other party was either extremely well hidden or had special methods.
"Continue the investigation! Expand the search area and don't miss any corner!" Pei Wuwang's tone was cold and resolute.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came, and Pei Wuwang's second uncle rushed in, his face covered in tears.
He was so heartbroken because his precious golden egg was his only hope.
Pei Ershu's youngest son, born to him and Xiao Qinshi, was named Pei Mingjie.
