After leaving the county town, Jiang Wanwan deliberately chose a side road to turn into, planning to find a secluded place to buy rice from the mall before heading home.
At this moment, she arrived at a mountain hollow, surrounded by weeds and trees, and there was not a single person in sight.
After confirming several times that no one was around, Jiang Wanwan opened the floating panel in front of her and entered "Wuchang Rice" into the search bar of the store. The entire page of the store then showed various types, varieties, and prices of rice.
The villagers of Dashui Village caught a total of 120 jin of locusts. Two jin of locusts could be exchanged for one jin of rice, and 60 jin of rice was just enough.
Rice is very cheap in the mall, only 2.5 yuan per jin (500g), and 60 jin of rice only costs 150 yuan.
At this moment, Jiang Wanwan felt that she was the biggest swindler.
Locusts cost 198 yuan per jin (500g), so two jin of locusts would be worth 396 yuan, while I only give my fellow villagers 2.5 yuan per jin of rice.
However, there was nothing she could do about it. She was also worried that giving too much rice might arouse suspicion.
Jiang Wanwan chose to have the rice packed in a sack. After paying, a sack of rice immediately appeared in front of her.
She loaded the rice onto the oxcart and set it in place. Then she immediately turned the oxcart around and headed towards the main road outside.
However, halfway there, she suddenly felt the urge to urinate. Jiang Wanwan stood on the oxcart and looked around. Finding no one in sight, she immediately jumped off the oxcart, settled it, and then ran quickly to the nearby bushes.
After she finished relieving herself, she had only taken a few steps outside when she suddenly found that her left foot was firmly locked by something and she could not move it.
Jiang Wanwan was startled. She looked down and found that her left foot was firmly locked by a large, pale hand.
Following the pale, large hand, one could see a face covered in blood.
"Ahhh!" Jiang Wanwan was startled when she was caught off guard.
She jumped up on the spot, and at the same time, she moved her left leg violently, hoping to break free from the ghostly hand.
However, that horrible hand remained firmly locked around her ankle.
Jiang Wanwan gritted her teeth, pulled a dagger from her crossbody bag, and tried to chop off the large hand that was gripping her foot. But before she could act, the other person beat her to it.
The mangled figure seemed to sense danger, and with a sudden tightening of the hand that was locking Jiang Wanwan's ankle, she was instantly pulled straight to the ground.
At the same time, the other party pounced on her, pinning Jiang Wanwan to the ground and rendering her unable to move.
Jiang Wanwan's expression was solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy. Her peach blossom eyes were fixed on the enemy in front of her, and the dagger she gripped in her hand gleamed coldly as she thrust it straight at the opponent's vital points with the force of a whirlwind.
To everyone's surprise, even though he was injured, he was still very agile. He dodged Jiang Wanwan's attack with a flash, and then a large hand tightly locked her slender wrist.
Jiang Wanwan winced in pain, but she didn't give up. With her brows furrowed, she clenched her other free hand into a fist and, taking advantage of the other's momentary lapse in attention, swiftly attacked the other's eyes.
The opponent nimbly dodged, intending to subdue Jiang Wanwan in one move, but he noticed the unusual movement around him and immediately went into a state of alert.
Jiang Wanwan has naturally keen hearing and intuition, and she could sense the murderous aura surrounding her in an instant.
