Work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset, this seems to be especially true for villages like Wu Miao.

There were few people walking around in the village now, and smoke rose from every household. It was time for dinner. If anyone happened to meet someone, Elder Hua would just brush them off.

Jiang Si followed Elder Hua silently, glancing around out of the corner of his eye.

Some are familiar, yet some are strange.

She gradually realized where Elder Hua was taking her.

If what he expected was correct, Elder Hua should take her directly to see the Great Elder.

Jiang seems to slow down his pace.

Elder Hua noticed it immediately and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Si met Elder Hua's eyes and said, "I want to see my brother first."

Elder Hua frowned and looked unhappy.

Jiang Si stopped talking and said firmly: "Let's meet my brother first, then we can talk about other things."

He wants her to help without even meeting his second brother. Could it be that he wants to get something for nothing?

"Ahua——" Elder Hua seemed unwilling to create any more trouble and looked reluctant.

Jiang Si's expression became more determined.

She had always had doubts about whether her second brother was still alive and in Wu Miao. But her second brother was one of the most important people to her, so even if there was a slight possibility, she was willing to go.

Now that she had come to this point, she could no longer maintain her forbearance, and she had to make sure her second brother was alive or dead.

Jiang Si was determined to win. Elder Hua wanted to persuade him again, but he heard a voice: "Ah Hua, you are back?"

A girl who was about the same age as Ah Hua walked over here, her voice was as sweet as a nightingale: "I went to look for you, but I heard that you were back and took you out to play..."

The girl walked closer, bowed to Elder Hua, and called him "Elder Hua". However, her eyes curiously glanced at the object in Elder Hua's hand, and she squeezed her eyes at Jiang Si.

The girl and Ah Hua were obviously very familiar with each other.

On the way, Jiang Si heard Elder Hua talk a lot about Ah Hua. He knew that Ah Hua had three or two good friends in the tribe and he remembered their names. He could roughly guess which girl was in front of him, but he didn't dare to speak casually.

Although she disguised herself as Ah Hua, even someone who was very familiar with her would find it difficult to notice anything wrong under the cover of darkness, but the two people's voices were different.

Disguise can only change one's appearance, but the voice cannot deceive people.

This is also what Jiang Si finds strange. In her previous life, she came to Wu Miao and pretended to be the Saint Asan. Although she rarely interacted with her tribesmen in the name of practicing Buddhism, she still could not avoid it completely.

But none of the first and second generation elders who had watched Asan grow up noticed anything unusual.

She lived her life as Ah-Shan, always worried that she would have nowhere to go if her identity was exposed, so she would rather say less and ask less questions.

Doubts weighed on her mind and eventually became an unsolvable mystery.

At this moment, Jiang seemed to regret his cowardice.

"Ahua, why don't you speak?" the girl wondered.

Jiang Si pointed to his throat, making his voice sound vague and hoarse: "It feels a bit uncomfortable..."

Elder Hua took over the conversation and said, "I took Ah Hua to eat a bowl of noodles, but I didn't expect that there were some seasonings in it, which made her throat swollen. Ah Hong, go back and eat. I'll come to play with you when Ah Hua is better."

The girl smiled with her hand covering her mouth, and the silver bracelets on her wrists collided lightly, making a pleasant sound.

"Ahua, you are greedy again. Have you eaten too many delicious foods in the capital of Great Zhou? Don't you like the food here?"

Jiang Si was about to say something when he was about to think about it. The girl waved her hand and said, "Okay, I know your throat hurts. I'll come find you when you're better."

Seeing the girl walking away, Elder Hua breathed a sigh of relief and urged Jiang Si in a low voice: "Let's go, if we delay we will meet more people.

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows and smiled, his voice returning to normal: "This should be something that Hua Li should worry about."

Elder Hua was stunned. Looking at the face that was at least 90% similar to his granddaughter but with a very different temperament, he had no choice but to compromise.

The Princess of Yan is indeed a difficult and intelligent woman.

Coming to a completely unfamiliar place like Wu Miao, not only did he not follow her steps out of trepidation, but he actually threatened her instead.

Is there any justice in the world?

Elder Hua looked up at the sky silently, sighed in his heart, and said with fatigue in his voice: "Okay, come with me."

It seems that it is impossible to prevent Princess Yan from seeing her brother.

Seeing that Elder Hua changed direction, Jiang Si raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Some things can be compromised, but some things must be insisted on, even at great risk.

The two walked along a small path and came to a house.

Elder Hua stopped and whispered, "You can meet my brother if you want, but you can't let him know your identity until the matter you promised us is completed. If you agree, I will take you in to see him."

Jiang Si nodded naturally.

As I said just now, we should compromise on things that need to be compromised. There is no need to worry too much.

Seeing that Jiang seemed to have agreed, Elder Hua took her to knock on the gate.

The door opened, and a pretty girl in a blue dress stood inside.

Seeing that it was Elder Hua, the girl bowed.

"Is he awake?" asked Elder Hua.

The girl followed Elder Hua inside and replied, "He's asleep."

Jiang Si stared at the back of the girl in the blue skirt, his eyes darkening.

If she were to say who she was most familiar with in Wu Miao in her previous life, it would be the Great Elder and the other would be the girl in front of her.

The girl's name is Alan, and she is the personal maid of Saint Asan.

Jiang seems to have no good feelings towards Alan.

The only ones who knew her identity at that time were the Great Elder and Alan. Therefore, Alan was quite disdainful of her in his words.

I'm afraid that in Alan's heart, she is a shameless person who has usurped the identity of a saint.

If the second brother is really recuperating here, why is Alan the one taking care of him?

Jiang Si suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickened his pace.

When they arrived at the door, Elder Hua stopped and said to Alan, "You stay outside, we'll go in first."

Alan looked at Jiang Si with a puzzled look, nodded and stepped aside.

Jiang Si frowned imperceptibly.

Judging from Alan's current attitude towards her, the other party may know that she is not Ahua.

Entering the room, Elder Hua seemed to sense Jiang Si's doubts and whispered, "She is Alan, and she knows that you are not Ahua. When you show up as a saint later, you will need her cooperation..."

If possible, they didn't want Alan, a little girl, to know too much, but Alan was the saint's personal maid and one of the very few people who knew that the saint was no longer in this world.

The death of the saint could be hidden from most of the tribe members, so how could it be hidden from her personal maid?

Jiang Si followed Elder Hua through the main hall and stopped in front of a door with a colorful cotton curtain hanging on it.

"Come in, the person is inside."

Jiang Si took a deep breath and walked in.

There was a bamboo bed against the wall in the room, with bedding spread out on it, covering a person.

The man was lying on his side facing outwards, and his face could be clearly seen under the oil lamp.

It was Jiang Zhan.
