Chapter 33 Everyone Hates Shi Yu to Death
The village where Mr. Jin lived was already very close to the town.
Their fishing boat was destroyed, so they naturally couldn't return to Black Mountain Island that day.
Mr. Jin then invited the two of them to stay at his home.
After lunch, Shi Yu gazed thoughtfully at the mountains outside the window.
Buying the alloy would cost a lot of money, and she also needed to improve her and her mother's living conditions after she returned home.
Therefore, we must find a suitable outlet for the money and food in the space.
If I remember correctly, Shi Jiaojiao looted a lot of precious medicinal herbs when she ransacked Jiang Fude's house...
"Sister, can you play with me for a little while?" Xiao Bao's words suddenly interrupted Shi Yu's thoughts.
Shi Yu looked up.
Xiao Bao stood in front of her, nervously counting on his fingers, his eyes full of anticipation as he stared at her.
She has always lived with her grandfather, and he has no one to play with, so she is quite lonely.
"Okay!" Shi Yu couldn't bear to refuse, so she smiled and patted Xiao Bao's head. After saying goodbye to Old Jin, she took Xiao Bao's hand and walked out of the house.
...
Shi Yu suggested going to the mountain to play hide-and-seek.
Xiao Bao was naturally overjoyed.
After playing for a while, I figured the kids were probably tired of it, so the fish hid during the last round.
With a thought, she entered the space and took out several medicinal herbs.
Ten salvia miltiorrhiza roots and ten deer antlers.
Back in Jin's hometown, Shi Yu lied and said that she and Xiao Bao accidentally dug up the medicinal herbs while playing hide-and-seek on the mountain.
Mr. Jin was immediately astonished.
He frequented this mountain and had dug up almost all the medicinal herbs.
At this moment, the fish's luck was simply incredible.
...
On the other side, Jiang Haiwang scrambled ashore like a dog.
His pants were ripped, exposing his buttocks, and beads of blood were dripping down his trouser leg from time to time.
Fortunately, he was off work today, and there was no one at the beach, so no one saw him in such a disheveled state.
After Jiang Haiwang got up from the ground, he took a shortcut and limped back.
After returning home, Jiang Haiwang first grimaced as he prepared a basin of salt water.
Then he took off his pants and sat down directly inside for disinfection.
"Hiss!" Jiang Haiwang trembled in pain, almost rolling his eyes back.
Fortunately, as time went by, the pain gradually subsided and I lost all feeling.
Jiang Haiwang then shakily got up.
He frantically applied some anti-inflammatory powder to his buttocks, then swallowed three painkillers and changed into a clean pair of pants.
After finishing these tasks, Jiang Haiwang was about to lie down for a while when a fisherman suddenly rushed in in a panic, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"
...
Half an hour later, Jiang Haiwang stood under the old locust tree with his hands behind his back and his old face ashen.
Fortunately, the painkillers worked.
He's not in so much pain now.
A large group of islanders surrounded Jiang Haiwang, with at least one representative from each family. All of them were gathered together, their faces filled with fear.
Seeing that Jiang Haiwang, the person in charge of the island, remained silent with a sullen face, someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but speak up, "Jiang Haiwang, tell us what we should do!"
"What should I do? I have no idea what to do!" Jiang Haiwang yelled.
He was already in a bad mood because he was injured.
Little did he know, even worse things awaited him after he returned to the island.
"Damn it! How could there be damp worms out of nowhere!" Thinking this, Jiang Haiwang gritted his teeth and blurted out.
“Who says otherwise!” A man in the crowd, about the same age as Jiang Haiwang, spoke up with lingering fear. “The last time there was such a severe outbreak of dampness was back in my grandfather’s time.”
"These things are small, but they reproduce rapidly. When they bite, they cause large areas of ulcers, and there's no effective medicine for them. It's like being worse than dead!"
As he spoke, the person couldn't help but scratch his arm.
His arms were now covered with numerous red spots.
Those were all caused by insect bites.
And once he took the lead, the others couldn't help but get itchy too.
If you scratch me, I'll scratch you too.
A series of eerie gasps of cold air suddenly rose and fell.
Looking at the crowd, Jiang Haiwang felt a chill run down his spine, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Jiang Haiwang, if this doesn't work, let's go out to sea and ask Chang'an Village for help!"
"These damp worms are contagious when they attach themselves to people, and the people of Chang'an Village will definitely look down on us."
"What time is it? Who cares if they mind? Our lives are more important!"
"Yes, Jiang Haiwang, you'd better make a decision soon!"
Finally, everyone turned their expectant gazes to Jiang Haiwang.
"..." Jiang Haiwang's lips twitched, his expression as if he had swallowed a fly.
The fishing boats that were trying to catch fish have already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Zhicheng's boat carrying fresh water will have to wait a few more days before it reaches the island.
"The fishing boats have gone out to sea, and Shi Yu and Lu Yizhou have gone to the county to buy salt." Jiang Haiwang naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
"What? We're out to sea? We shouldn't be going out to sea in this weather!"
"At that time, the fish insisted on going."
"That damn brat, she's useless and has really gotten us into trouble."
With their hopes dashed, the crowd began to grumble and curse.
Huang Ying was not present and had no idea what had happened.
Jiang Haiwang's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately and without hesitation stirred up more hatred for Shi Yu, saying, "Hey! Speaking of Shi Yu, this isn't the only foolish thing he's done."
“When my grandfather was alive, he treated venereal diseases. He wrote down the method in a notebook and passed it on to my father, who then passed it on to my younger brother, Jiang Fude.”
"My brother was there to ensure everyone would be safe."
"But at this time, Yu, for the sake of his mother, distorted the facts. First, he forced my brother to write an apology letter, and then he drove him away..."
Jiang Haiwang wasn't entirely lying about that.
The booklet containing methods for treating dampness and worms was indeed in Jiang Fude's hands.
"That damned little slut is a jinx. Ever since she and her mother came to our island, we've had no good luck."
"When she gets back, I'll give her a piece of my mind."
"Yeah, let's just drown her with our spittle."
Now, everyone hated Shi Yu even more, their teeth itching with rage.
Unable to reach a conclusion, everyone could only disperse dejectedly.
Now I just hope the ship can come back soon.
...
"Ugh! This is so annoying." On the other side, Jiao Jiao, who was home alone, scratched her neck a couple of times, then sat up abruptly, looking irritated.
I washed fish all day yesterday, and my hands got all swollen from being soaked.
Today, due to dampness and insects, my whole body is extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
Shi Jiaojiao turned around in annoyance, but because of the large movement, she knocked something off the table and onto the ground.
She paused, then looked down.
It was a black notebook with yellowed edges and curled corners.
This notebook belongs to Jiang Fude.
She had previously ransacked Jiang Fude's house, and seeing that this notebook was quite thick, she took it out, intending to use it as a pad for the dent in her bed.
Shi Jiaojiao subconsciously bent down to pick it up.
"Huh?" She was suddenly stunned when her gaze inadvertently swept over the text on the open page.
