Chapter 271 A Not Bad Place



A perfectly healthy person could die at any moment. Xiang Ciyuan found it unbelievable. Jiang Yao was a very clever woman, cunning, ruthless, and very clear-headed.

The key point is that he's also very resilient and has thick skin. How did he suddenly find out that he's so easy to kill and so fragile?

"How is Nanzhi?"

“Shen Shixun and the child have disappeared. Saigon is a desolate place, with high altitude and high risk of oxygen deficiency. It is a vast area with unpredictable weather and so many protected wild animals... It’s hard to find them.”

Xiang Nanzhi's health is definitely being taken care of, but whether she can recover is another matter.

Xiang Zhengyi makes people want to dig up Shen Shixun's ancestors for eighteen generations, but Saigon is really a very magical ethnic group. Shen Shixun's mother is listed as single and has not obtained a marriage certificate, but he and his sister were born.

The relationships between men and women in Saigon are even more chaotic, and information doesn't circulate much there, so investigations are often fruitless.

"Their leader asked, and they said they moved, but he didn't know where they moved to."

"Give them some money and ask them where they might go."

"I gave them the money and went to several places to look, but they couldn't find it."

In Saigon, even if you know where someone is, the tribe is very united and may not necessarily tell you.

Now the Xiang family is also experiencing the difficulty of finding people, so they're doing it as a last resort.

As the wife of the chief's three sons, Alan received a considerable amount of money from the Xiang family. The chief left his money to his three sons, and she was the only wife of his three sons. Alan is now living a very prestigious life.

She put the money into a wooden cabinet and would open it frequently to look inside. "I never imagined that the Han family would have so much money."

"That's not all, there's definitely more money involved."

"She looks like a little girl, just with fair skin."

"No, no, she looks like a beautiful and delicate woman."

Alan glared at her husband, and Basang said again, "Fine, fine, no one is as beautiful as you. You are the most beautiful."

"That's more like it."

With Alan heavily pregnant, Basang continued, "Father told us all to go and see who can find it. If we find it, we'll get even more money."

"Forget it, people shouldn't be greedy. Xun-ge grew up with us since he was a child, we can't do this kind of thing."

"You don't still like him, do you? You're our woman now, you can't like him."

"Hmph..." Alan sneered, "You few are enough. I can't handle any more. I'm pregnant now, so I know how important the child is. Xun-ge has a hard life. His father is also a Han Chinese. He ran away after giving birth to him and Jila, leaving his mother to live a pitiful life. If he really helps outsiders take his child away, how will Xun-ge live his life?"

Thinking about it, it makes sense. They're all from the same tribe, they've been together since they were little, even peeing and hunting together. They can't abandon their conscience for a little money.

Alan added, "Once we've given this money, there's no reason for us to take it back. It's not our fault if we can't find it, and we can't take it back even if we can't find it. We could never spend all this money even in several lifetimes."

The Xiang family's money did not disrupt the peace of the tribe. The herders were not very interested in money. They had cattle and sheep, food and drink, grasslands, blue skies and white clouds, wine and cigarettes, men and women. What did they need money for?

However, a few particularly young and ambitious lads still wanted to make some money, but they only searched for a few days before giving up. The grassland was too big, and blindly searching for people was not as good as going home, putting the rams and ewes in one shed, having more lambs, and then slaughtering them for meat the following year.

Man Thanh is a tourist attraction that almost everyone who comes to Saigon will want to visit.

On the day they moved here, Rooney, Gila, Old Black, and Xiao Fang herded cattle and sheep together for two whole days.

They encountered wolves along the way. Lao Hei and Xiao Fang teamed up to kill one of the wolves, preventing it from going to warn the pack...

Gila said the wolf's head was almost bitten off...

Mancheng is a nice place; it has grasslands, beautiful scenery, and relatively convenient transportation, so it's not completely isolated from the world.

Jira and Shen's mother were not used to seeing so many Han people coming and going, but they were living in tents and raising cattle and sheep, so apart from the large number of people, they had nothing to complain about.

The elderly women living in the city interacted with both Han Chinese and locals. They were lively and often chatted with Shen Mu.

There was a small county town in Mancheng, which had everything. Jira would occasionally take Shen's mother to the county town to go to the market.

The first time she went horseback riding with Shen's mother, Gila's eyes lit up when she saw that there was everything on both sides of the street.

Jila, who had never left the grasslands before, seemed to have opened the door to a new world. She bought many new and interesting things and even bought clothes for the baby from the Gong ethnic group.

Tangyuan was really small. Being so small, she could only drink goat milk after being separated from her mother. The clothes she wore were not neat, as if they were just strips of cloth tied together haphazardly.

The whole family was gathered around the tent, grinning from ear to ear.

Shen Shixun then discussed with Jira that since Jira would be giving birth soon, he would trouble her to feed Tangyuan a few sips of milk after giving birth, as it was not good for her to drink goat milk all the time.

Gila blamed Xiang Nan for being heartless, but couldn't say it in front of Shen Shixun. She cried to Rooney in private, "My brother is pitiful. His sister-in-law gave birth and then abandoned him. The poor baby doesn't even have a drop of milk to drink. If he doesn't leave his mother..."

"If you don't leave your mother, you won't get milk. I've been here for a long time and have met people from the city. Many women in the city don't breastfeed; they give their children formula."

"ah?"

Gila was horrified. "Really? They gave birth to them themselves?"

"There are so many different kinds of women in the city. I don't even know if they gave birth to the children. It seems like in the city, other women can even have their own children..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, really?"

"Seriously, it's about selling your belly!"

"Selling your belly?"

Gila giggled at Rooney's antics, while Shim Sehun sat on the farm outside, a blade of grass between his teeth, sticking a piece of paper with glue onto it.

He changed everything and stopped contacting Zhang Yandong, and Zhang Yandong didn't contact him either.

But Zhang Yandong was getting annoyed to death by Xiang Ciyuan.

"I said I didn't know, and you're still doing this? Do you want to torture me into confessing?"

"If I find out you're lying to me, do you know what will happen?"

"I know nothing..."

Zhang Yandong lit a cigarette. "If I had any news, I would have gone to your dad to claim credit long ago. Why would I need to keep it from him?"

"Besides, although he saved my life, I have already repaid him. I'm not stubborn; why would I not take the benefits that are right in front of me?"

If anyone could reveal the whereabouts of Xiang Zhengyi's grandson to her now, she would probably kneel down before the proud Xiang Zhengyi without hesitation.

But it was as if he had vanished into thin air; no clue could be found about Shen Shixun, nor could the child's whereabouts be traced.
