Chapter 298 Daily Life in the Fishing Village

What happened on Coconut Island did not cause any disturbance in the village. Everyone kept their mouths shut, even the most talkative people did not say a word.

Soon this bit of news was overshadowed by other gossip in the village.

Today this family has an engagement, and tomorrow that family has a quarrel. There are many people in the village, so it is naturally lively.

Jiang Wan was more concerned about the missing girls cases in the city. She went to the city, but Lord Qin didn't say much.

All we know is that Lord Qin found something that looked like a map on those criminals, and finally found a very important clue.

Because this case involves so many people and has been taken over by higher-ups, there are many things Lord Qin cannot say.

Jiang Wan didn't ask any more questions, as long as things were moving in a good direction.

Before leaving, she went to the dungeon to check on Jiang An and his gang.

These people are evil, yes, but they haven't killed many people. This time, it was me and Lord Qin who set up a trap to tie them up. They will be locked up for a long time, which makes me a little embarrassed.

So Lord Qin didn't treat them harshly. The cells they were assigned had skylights so they could breathe fresh air and the floor wasn't so damp.

As long as you keep yourself clean, everything else should be fine except for the lack of freedom and poor food.

When Jiang Wan arrived there, she heard two men scolding Lord Qin in high spirits. She wanted to ask the jailer to give them a meal of steamed buns, but then she thought better of it.

You look so energetic and have so much strength, and it seems you're eating well.

Jiang Wan turned around and left the dungeon, then went to the workshop to take a look before going home.

Normally, the area around the ferry is quiet and you can only hear the sound of the waves. But today was different. As soon as I got off the ferry, I could hear a lot of noise nearby.

Jiang Wan had just gotten off the boat and stood still when she was startled by the sudden sound of firecrackers.

So lively...

They must be celebrating the completion of a new house near their home.

The newly relocated wealthy people were really willing to spend money to build houses, unlike Jiang Wan who wasted a few ounces of silver to build one or two houses.

They bought the finest blue bricks, and the courtyard walls were built with stones. The courtyard was also paved with bluestone slabs.

It's high-end, classy and clean at first glance.

Jiang Wan was very greedy, but it would be too eye-catching to build another house soon after the one she had just built. So she decided to wait until next year to build a new house.

She walked a few steps faster, trying to see which house was bustling.

"Xiao Wan! Come quickly!"

Yinzhu excitedly called her name, rushed over and pulled her over. Before she could stand still, she saw a pile of red fruits falling towards her head.

"Pick it up, pick it up!"

Everyone around was excitedly picking up things from the ground, and Jiang Wan started picking up things as well.

Hmm? Dates!

This head, this color, it's obviously a good product from the north. The neighbor was very generous to give this as a wedding gift for the completion of the new house.

Jiang Wan put all the dates she picked into Yinzhu's pocket and kept only a few in her arms, preparing to take them back for Baozhu and Anan to taste.

She and her mother didn't have to do that. In modern times, they bought a wall-breaking machine and spent their days making healthy soy milk and healthy rice paste. They bought bags of red dates and were tired of drinking them.

My family hasn't bought this for a long time.

"Xiao Wan, you look like you just came back from the city?"

"Well, I went around the city to restock my mother's medicine cabinet with some herbs."

"So there's no danger in the city now?"

Yinzhu's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Jiang Wan with anticipation.

"What did you hear?"

Jiang Wan remembered what happened in the city, but the villagers didn't seem to know about it. Last time, everyone just discussed Coconut Island and didn't say much about other things.

"I heard it from Xiaoshan. He went to the Holy Mother Temple to sell things and heard some servants who were resting on the roadside say that the city is unsafe recently and it's easy to get lost. Young ladies at home rarely go out now, and when they do go out, they're always with a lot of people."

Xiaoshan said that, no wonder.

"The city is safe, but it's also dangerous. The main thing is that the culprit for the kidnapping hasn't been caught yet, so it's better to be careful and avoid going to the city recently."

According to what Lord Qin said, there should be a result soon. He will send someone to the village to tell us when the time comes.

Yinzhu was a little disappointed.

But nothing is more important than your own safety, so let's wait a little longer.

"What do you want to buy in the city? Tell me, I'll see if I have it at home. If I do, I'll give it to you first."

After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she noticed that Yinzhu's ears turned slightly red and her voice became softer.

"I want to go to the city to buy a piece of cloth and make clothes and shoes for Xiaoshan..."

Jiang Wan: “…”

"What color cloth do you want? Black, gray, or blue? Linen or ramie?"

These three are the common colors of clothes in the village. Jiang Wan's family still has a lot of lining cloth, which she bought back before and asked the people in the mountains to exchange.

"I want grey ramie. Black is very noticeable if it gets a little dusty, and it gets too hot in the sun. Grey is good, and ramie is breathable."

"Okay, come back with me to get it."

Jiang Wan was in charge and decided to take Yinzhu home right away.

The two were almost at the gate of the courtyard when Yinzhu suddenly slapped her head and said that she had no money with her and insisted on going home to get it before coming back.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to go back to the yard alone.

"Mother?"

After calling mother out of habit, no one in the pharmacy answered, only Baozhu came out alone.

Normally she is inseparable from Anan, but today she is alone here and looks listless.

Like a grass without water.

"Xiao Wan, you're back. Master and Anan have gone to the next village to provide home medical treatment."

"Home visit? What's the matter?"

"The master said it might be epilepsy. The villagers who heard it said that the patient's limbs were twitching, he was foaming at the mouth, and he was incontinent. I heard that he had bitten through the palm of one of his family members."

Baozhu couldn't help but shudder as she spoke.

Jiang Wan knew about this disease. It was a bit scary when it attacked. But A Niang had treated epilepsy before and had experience. It shouldn't be a problem.

Jiang Wan was not worried about A'niang and An'nan. Looking at Baozhu's pitiful appearance, she smiled and took out a few dates from her arms and gave them to her.

"Look at you, let your mother take you to the doctor next time. Eat some dates to sweeten your mouth."

Baozhu snorted twice, took the dates but only ate one.

No need to ask, she must want to wait for Anan to come back and eat the rest together.

No matter how much these two sisters quarrel every day, they still have the best relationship.

Jiang Wan touched the remaining dates in her arms and smiled. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should give them to Anan.
