Chapter 353: Worried Tribe Members

Xiaoqin, who was about to climb over the wall, was frightened by the sound behind her.

But she didn't fall down, she held on to the wall tightly with both hands.

Fearing that the person behind her might attract her mother if she continued to shout, Xiaoqin turned around and whispered a reprimand.

"This is my own home! Stop shouting!"

(Don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of forming a couple.)

Chai Laosi paused, and in just two breaths he would have rushed up to grab the man's feet.

Fortunately, fortunately, we almost got into trouble.

She's a girl, and if he touched her feet, it would be a big deal.

Chai Laosi opened his mouth to say something, but when he looked up again, he saw the girl simply climbed over the wall and jumped down.

I could still hear her scream of pain when she fell to the ground through the wall.

Then she heard a woman's voice scolding her.

"I've been calling you for a long time, what are you doing hiding here among ducks?! Are you laying eggs?!"

It turned out that was really her home.

Chai Laosi touched his head, turned around and went back to his yard in disappointment.

"Old Four, I asked you to fetch water, but you came back with an empty bucket?"

"Ah, this... I'll go pick it up again!"

Chai Laosi turned around and walked out again.

The other three Chai brothers were busy repairing the courtyard wall. They were all covered in mud and there was no trace of their former glory.

"Old Third, don't we still have money? Why do we have to do all this ourselves?"

The second Chai who was speaking got a cold stare from the eldest brother and the third brother.

"Brother, since we have decided to stay here for a long time, we must integrate into the village. If we use money to solve everything, it will show that we are not sociable at all."

As Chai Laosan spoke, he sandwiched dry grass into the cracks in the wall and covered it with a layer of yellow mud.

The cracks in the wall that let in light have been repaired.

"We are busy here, and when the villagers passing by see us doing the work ourselves, they will feel less repulsive."

Chai Laoer nodded to show that he understood, and immediately ran to the courtyard gate to pull it open, and even took a few bricks to block the door.

The third brother sighed silently. He was the only smart one among his brothers. He would have a lot of worries in the future.

At night, the four brothers squatted in the yard, eating steamed buns and drinking water.

"Third brother, now that we have bought the house, what should we do next?"

"Hmm? What else can you do? Just live here and do nothing."

Hearing this, the other three brothers were stunned.

"Aren't we here to protect the young lady?"

"Yes, but there is no danger around the young lady now. Besides, her attitude towards us is not very friendly. If we go up to her rashly, she will only be disgusted."

Chai Laosan has understood the young lady's attitude ever since he was rejected by Jiang Wan last time.

So it would be unwise to rush in at this time.

"For now, it's safe for the young lady to study medicine with Doctor Yin. We just need to pay attention to the village and make sure no bad people come here."

To be honest, if the young lady had not met her own young master, she might have been able to live a peaceful and stable life in this small village.

Now that the young master is gone, the young lady's affairs have been exposed by the head of the family's wife. I don't know what the several masters who had been at odds with the young master in the past are thinking now.

Now that they are fathers and grandfathers, they should not be stingy anymore. It would be best if they don't cause trouble.

Anyway, they have to stay alert all the time.

"But it's not a good idea for us to stay indoors all day like this."

The brothers have traveled a lot over the years and are used to living outside. If they were really asked to live in the yard, they would be so depressed.

Chai Laosan also understood this.

"Then I'll go ask the old village chief tomorrow to see where I can buy a boat. When we have nothing to do, we can go fishing with the villagers. Then the four of us can take turns going out. This will allow us to better integrate into the village, and we'll also have time to keep an eye on the village."

"Okay, that's it."

Chai Lao San was relieved to see that his brothers had no objection, but he reminded them again before entering the house.

"If we meet the young lady in the village in the future, just greet her politely. Don't be too enthusiastic, okay?"

"I know, I know! Third brother, you are just like an old lady, nagging all the time."

Chai Laosan: “…”

Here, Chai Laosan was talking about Anan, and Anan was also talking to Jiang Wan about them.

"Xiao Wan, the brothers of the Chai family have now confirmed that they have settled in the village. What exactly do they want to do?"

"Whatever they want to do, just ignore them. Besides, you spend most of the day studying in the pharmacy, and they can't get in."

Jiang Wan wasn't afraid at all.

Those guys looked fierce, but they were not that scary. They used to obey the orders of the Northern Master, but now that the Northern Master was gone, Anan was their little master.

I don't think Anan's father would send a few bad guys to the fishing village to get close to his daughter.

"Okay, don't worry about it. Wait for Uncle Li to come down the mountain and tell him to negotiate."

As soon as Anan heard the word "uncle", his thoughts immediately changed.

"My uncle is busy in the mountains now. I don't know when he will be free to come down."

"Being busy is a good thing. After the tribe moved, it will be much more convenient for you to go down the mountain to buy and sell. You can also sell the cloth you weave and the herbs you collect down the mountain for money."

Anan shook his head.

"It's convenient for buying, but it's hard to say for selling."

Family members know their own business. Anan has learned a lot after being at the foot of the mountain for so long.

The cloth they weave cannot be sold at a high price, and the herbs they collect cannot be sold for much either. Unless they are very rare herbs, they are hard to come by.

Moreover, you can’t collect herbs all day long. There are so many tribesmen, and if you catch them collecting in the mountains, they will all be bald sooner or later.

From then on, most of the tribe still relied on hunting for a living, supplemented by selling herbs.

Anan felt sorry for his fellow tribesmen because hunting was the easiest way to get injured, and collecting herbs also carried considerable risks.

She told Jiang Wan about her worries, and Jiang Wan thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

"How about letting your people start growing fruit?"

The mountains are the best place for fruit trees to grow, and the climate on the islands is even more suitable for many tropical fruits.

Like mango, durian, dragon fruit, lychee, longan and so on.

Jiang Wan was very hungry, but unfortunately, when she got here, she found that there were mostly coconuts, and she only ate mangoes and some kumquats.

I didn't see any more things like durian.

Wait, the durian she eats nowadays seems to have been imported from foreign countries. There must be durian here, right?

Jiang Wan was just about to ask Anan if there were any durians on the mountain when she saw Anan looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Fruits are delicious, but they don't last long. They'll be damaged a lot when transported down the mountain. Also, the fruit down there can't be sold at a high price. If you pick them, they'll go bad in a day or two. If you don't pick them, they won't last a few days if they're left on the tree."

Anan felt that growing fruits was not as good as hunting and collecting herbs.

At least the first two items can make money.
