…
That night-
Bai Ayue is having trouble sleeping.
In the middle of the night, she contacted Amo, who was far away in Shanghai.
I don't know what Amo's reply was to her; she left overnight!
But when I left, I felt sad and conflicted, but mostly... heartbroken!
I feel sorry for them, the future Miao king.
…
The next day.
As dawn breaks -
At this moment, Mu Achen had already left the thatched hut where he had stayed the night before, and he was standing high in the coconut grove.
The first rays of dawn slowly unveiled the morning on the island.
Where are they?
The sky gradually brightened from darkness.
In this village of only a few dozen Miao households, every house is exactly the same.
The walls were made of woven wood and plastered with mud, like a boat awning.
They are all located in this coconut grove.
The rising sun filters through the coconut palms and thatched cottages—
A gentle breeze was blowing.
Ah Chen felt an unprecedented sense of peace and beauty.
Beside him, besides Yang Ahu and Ayin, were two wolf-like guards, Shi Ahai and Shi Alang.
During the Miao New Year, Achen learned about the situation here from several elders of the Qiongjiang tribe.
Last night, Shi Ahai and Shi Alang answered all of Mu Achen's questions without reservation.
Whatever Ah Chen wants to know, they won't hide it from him.
It was through this understanding that Ah Chen learned about the situation of the Miao people on Hainan Island.
Among the five major Miao regions--
Before Mu Achen became the future Miao King, Qiong Island was the richest Miao region.
Because this area is abundant in fruit--
Dozens of kinds of fruits, whether wholesaled off the island or collected from the orchards, were all arranged by the spirit maiden Bai Ayue, along with the Miao men and women.
Sixty percent of the Miao people here rely on fruit as their main source of income.
They also have their own small company, which, although not large, is at least well-organized.
besides--
Along that coastline of over twenty kilometers, more than ten thousand Miao people also engage in fishing.
According to Shi Ahai and Shi Alang, that stretch of coastline was under the jurisdiction of Lei Ajing, one of the jackals, and has now become a seafood wholesale market.
Their company name was officially changed to "Cheng Yue" after A Chen became the future Miao King.
Orange Joy Company.
They are responsible for wholesaling various fruits and seafood caught by the Miao people at sea.
As for the Miao army, the core of the Miao region on Hainan Island, Shi Ahai and Shi Alang said they did not know the details.
but--
The incident here is clearly the result of Haisheng Group abusing its power.
Haisheng Group is wealthy and highly valued by the municipal government, which is why there is a slight bias towards Haisheng Group.
Last night, Ah Chen also mentioned the orchard being occupied.
Shi Ahai said that the orchard contained more than ten kinds of fruit and was one of the passages into the heart of the Miao region; if someone else took it—
This means that the breach in the abdomen of the Miao region on Hainan Island would allow air to escape, which is absolutely unacceptable.
So, after learning about these things, Ah Chen asked Shi Ah Hai for a map of the area.
He was watching it all night.
Furthermore, the matter between the Miao people and Haisheng Group regarding that land remains unresolved.
The reason for this situation is clearly that some people in the local government are taking sides.
now--
Ah Chen walked through the village, lost in thought.
He was completely unaware that groups of Miao people were watching him from the crisscrossing paths.
No one stepped forward; they just stood there watching.
It's unclear whether it's out of fear, or because they feel the future Miao King is too high and mighty, too distant from ordinary Miao people, or perhaps...
but--
"Achen--"
As Ah Chen approached the pond on the side of the village, dozens of aunties and young women were standing under the rows of coconut trees on the side.
The Miao women were dressed in simple and unpretentious Miao clothing.
And the girls, their girl outfits are even prettier!
A long blue cloth gown, a batik skirt, and a brightly colored belt cinched at the waist.
The patterns on Miao clothing are almost all butterfly embroidery.
Who is the most beautiful Miao girl on Hainan Island?
Dewy and beautiful.
Upon hearing the shout, Achen turned his head away and stood with his feet to the side.
The first thing I saw was a beautiful group of Miao girls.
As he turned his head to the side, an older woman came out.
This woman seems to be --
The restaurant owner from yesterday in the county.
As the auntie approached, the other Miao women and girls followed.
"The landlady?"
Ah Chen's address of "Boss Lady" made the aunties walk even faster.
As soon as they arrived in front of Achen, they surrounded him and stared at him intently.
"Ah Chen, it's Auntie--"
The Miao woman I met yesterday held Ah Chen's hand tightly.
Tears blurred my vision.
The aunties, too, all had red eyes.
"After waiting for so long, it's finally here."
Especially the aunt who had met Ah Chen, she never dreamed that the person who ate at their family restaurant yesterday was actually the Miao King, a figure who only appears once every thousand years in their Miao family.
As for what happened to the Spirit Maiden yesterday, they also know about it.
It's all a misunderstanding!
"Ah Chen, the Spirit Maiden won't harm you. Don't overthink it. She's been waiting for you for a long time."
"Yes, Ah Chen, ever since she learned that you were coming, Ling Nu has been looking forward to it every day."
"Brother Chen--"
“Brother Chen, we’ve been keeping watch all over the county and town these past few days because the clan elders said you might come secretly.”
The love of the aunties and the warmth of the girls burned like a flame in Ah Chen's heart.
