Chapter 235 Strange Stone

"Li Xiao?"

Yin Huaixi and Li Manqi turned around and looked over.

Li Xiao came back to his senses quickly. Fortunately, he still remembered what Yin Huaixi had just said, so he translated it directly.

This was indeed a very small operation, and Li Man quickly regained consciousness.

My tongue hurts but it's okay, I can bear it.

This is much less painful than the injuries from hunting.

My heart was suddenly filled with excitement when I thought that he would be able to speak clearly in a few days.

All this is thanks to Doctor Yin.

Li Man took out a small bag from his arms, which contained two round pearls, very beautiful.

Before the islands were taken over by the imperial court, the Li people also lived by the sea. Among the things left by the older generation, pearls were the most valuable.

He didn't know whether the two pearls were enough to cover the medical expenses, so he urged the tribe leader to ask for him.

Yin Huaixi frowned.

"You don't need to spend that much on medicine. One hundred coins will be enough."

These two pearls would be worth at least one or two taels of silver if taken to the city, so she would definitely not want them.

"If you don't have copper coins, you can collect herbs to make up for it, or I can take the pearls and give him the difference."

There are two ways. Li Man thought about it and decided to collect herbs to make up for it.

Pearls are very precious things in the village. If possible, he would like to leave the pair of pearls to the moon.

The moon is so beautiful, she will definitely be more beautiful if she wears jewelry made of pearls.

Li Man took back the pearl and bowed to Doctor Yin sincerely to express his gratitude.

"Okay, Fuzi is still resting, you go out and accompany Uncle Tietou first."

Li Xiao said this while pulling Li Man to the yard.

When Lao Tietou saw the people, he remembered that there was another tribesman who went down the mountain with him. When the three people were interrupted, his excitement eased a little.

In order to avoid gossip, the three of them sat in the thatched pavilion.

Li Man wanted to go back to the mountain as soon as possible, but the tribe leader and Uncle Tietou did not move and had no intention of going back. He could not speak clearly now, so he had to sit down and drink water.

Half an hour later, the discomfort in Jiang Wan's legs and feet was much relieved.

She turned over and tried to get out of bed, when she was suddenly hit in the waist. It hurt quite a bit because her clothes were so thin.

It's the bag of stones...

The little kids were so enthusiastic that they gave her a big bag of stones.

Of course Jiang Wan wouldn't throw it away. She thought about finding a jar to put the stones in.

After searching the house for a while and not finding the empty can, Jiang Wan simply went out to the kitchen to get it.

There are always empty flat jars in the stove room.

"Xiao Wan, what's in your bag? I noticed it when we just got down the mountain. It's bulging."

"It's all pretending to be love~"

Jiang Wan laughed and found an empty jar, filled it with water and washed the stones before pouring them in. After thinking for a while, he found a basin and filled it with water, preparing to wash the small stones before putting them in.

With a series of "bangs", all the pebbles were poured into the basin.

Anan took one look and immediately understood.

"These are the stones Xiao Miaomiao and the others gave you. The kids in the village like to pick up these stones and play with them."

Jiang Wan nodded and scrubbed the small stones carefully.

"They gave me this when I left the village. I plan to wash it and put it in a jar."

The densely packed small stones look quite clean, but they become quite dirty when rubbed in water.

After Jiang Wan washed once, she went to fetch more water.

The afternoon sunlight shone through the water surface onto the small stones in the water. Jiang Wan was suddenly stunned. She saw that some of the stones were actually shining brightly under the sunlight!

She picked up one of the stones.

I don't know if this stone was knocked off by the stones being poured into the basin, and a hint of gold appeared inside.

Ordinary stones shouldn't be like this, right?

What's the gold in here?

Gold or copper?

Jiang Wan looked at it for a few seconds and put it back, then picked up another blue stone.

Although this stone does not have a dazzling glow, the blue area on it is particularly transparent under the sunlight.

If you could polish it, what would it become?

Jiang Wan was particularly curious, and subconsciously felt that these small stones were not ordinary.

How can ordinary stones be so beautiful?

Wow, where on earth did these little radishes get these things from?

"Anan, you just said that the children like to pick up these stones and play with them. Do you have a lot of them in your village?"

"Yes, there are quite a lot. There is a small hillside on the edge of the village. There are not many trees there, but there are a lot of gravel. Children go there to look for gravel when they have nothing to do. It's quite fun. I also picked up a lot when I was a kid, but I lost all of them in a game."

Anan talked and laughed, and even told some of his own embarrassing stories, trying to liven up the atmosphere and make Jiang Cao more relaxed.

Jiang Wan said nothing more. She just washed the stones carefully three times and then put them in a dustpan to dry in the yard.

She was not good at dealing with stones, so if she wanted to know where these stones came from, she had to go to the city to ask.

There's no rush.

Jiang Wan turned around and asked Jiang Cao.

"Sister Jiang Cao, has anyone from your husband's family come over in the past two days?"

Gingergrass shakes head.

“No.”

They are determined to default on their debt.

"You really overestimated them. Sister Jiang Cao, let's not live with a family like that, right? Now that Grandpa Tietou is here, he really wants to recognize you as his relative and take you back to the mountains. If you're willing, let's make a plan."

"Ah? What's the plan?"

"How do you plan to get up the mountain? You can't just disappear at my house, right? If that happens, your husband's family will definitely ask me and my mother for compensation, and there will be no end to it."

Jiang Wan doesn't want to put her family at risk for helping someone else.

"Well, think about it carefully."

Jiang Cao bit her lip, thinking about the days she had spent at her husband's house. Then she remembered that she had originally wanted to look for her grandfather, and she immediately made up her mind.

"I am willing to go up the mountain, but I want to see him alone first."

Everyone knows who he is.

Jiang Wan immediately pulled Anan out of the kitchen and pushed Lao Tietou back in.

The two of them didn't dare to eavesdrop at the door, so they moved a little further away. Soon they heard a burst of wailing coming from the kitchen.

Since the first time Jiang Wan met Jiang Cao, she had never seen her cry like this.

In fact, it’s not good to suppress it all the time. Crying like this will make you feel better.

In the kitchen.

Lao Tietou touched Xiao Cao's head lovingly.

"Don't worry, Xiaocao. Grandfather will definitely help you avenge the people who bullied you."

Jiang Cao was shocked when she heard this and subconsciously grabbed her grandfather's clothes tightly.

"No! No need. Let's just leave quietly and go back to the mountain."

My grandfather is old. What if he gets hurt while seeking justice for her?

"That won't do. I have to get this off my chest. Go back today and wait for me to deal with them in the evening, then I'll take you up the mountain."

Lao Tietou was well prepared.

You don't have to be forceful to deal with someone. There are so many mandalas on the mountain, they are not just for decoration.

This time he brought a lot...
