Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Ruozhu followed Jian Qi down to the cabin. Because they appeared very suddenly and Bai Ruozhu didn't make any sound, the boatman below the cabin didn't know that she had gone down.

So soon she heard a lot of chatter.

"The sharks must have eaten people. Don't they seem to make a living by eating people?"

"Isn't this terrible? Isn't there anyone taking care of it? I don't know who will be next."

"Just because Master Bai's apprentice likes him, can he be allowed to kill people randomly?"

"Master Bai is not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Don't forget how Master Bai treated us. Without Master Bai, we might have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

"I didn't say anything wrong with Mr. Bai. I was afraid that Mr. Bai would be deceived by the sharks. Haven't you heard about the power of the sharks? No one who met the sharks at sea has ever come back."

Everyone was talking to each other, their voices filled with fear, anger, and strong rejection of the sharks.

Bai Ruozhu felt a little annoyed. She felt that these people were rejecting the sharks and her own Ah Chun, and she couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.

But then I thought about it, these people didn't mean any harm, it was just the long-standing rumors that influenced their judgment. It's no wonder they were there.

Bai Ruozhu winked at Jian Qi, pretending that they had just come down and didn't hear anything.

She deliberately made the sound of footsteps, and the sound of discussion inside disappeared instantly.

"Who is the missing person? Who has seen him last?" Bai Ruozhu walked into the room and asked.

This is Datong Shop, which is a bit messy. Because of her sudden appearance, several people jumped out of the shop nervously.

I don't know if it's because of "a guilty conscience" or because I can't help but feel nervous when I see Bai Ruozhu.

It took a long time before an older boatman spoke.

"The young man who is missing is Wang Lu. He is a sailor on the deck. There is a man in his mid-twenties or six today. He is a big man with considerable strength."

Bai Ruozhu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there really was such a person, but she did not have an impression of every sailor, so she was not completely sure who Wang Lu was.

"Many of our sailors saw him most recently. It wasn't until yesterday when we couldn't find him while we were working that we realized something was wrong," said a sailor.

Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly, "Who does Wang Lu have the best relationship with? Don't you feel weird that you haven't seen him before?"

"Wang Lu lives alone and doesn't have a particularly good relationship with anyone." The sailor from before replied.

"He has a bad personality?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"No, no, he is just very boring, introverted and doesn't like to talk to others."

"Then does he have any hobbies in his daily life?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

The sailor laughed and said, "We are all working as coolies, what hobbies can we have?"

"What do you do when you're not busy? Don't you have any entertainment? Like playing leaf cards, betting on dice or something?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Several sailors laughed sheepishly and said that Bai Ruozhu was like a god, and this was how they spent their time when they were not busy.

"Occasionally, I drink a little wine and talk nonsense." Another sailor said cautiously.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and asked, "Would Wang Lu drink with you?"

Several people shook their heads, "That man is so boring that he doesn't even want to drink."

Bai Ruozhu didn't ask any more questions and told them not to worry too much. They would continue to search on the ship to see what happened to Wang Lu.

After leaving the room, Bai Ruozhu said to Jian Qi: "You secretly keep an eye on them to see if anyone behaves abnormally."

"Yes." Jian Qi responded.

Afterwards, Jiang Yichun also led people to search the ship. As expected, Wang Lu was not found, not even any trace was found. It did not seem like a homicide. Could it be that Wang Lu committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea?

But there are night guards every day. If someone throws himself into the sea, there will be no movement at all. How can no one notice it?

"Ah Chun, do you think Du Zhongshu got into the boat again?" Bai Ruozhu rubbed his forehead. The sea is already dangerous, so why do things keep happening?

"No, don't think too much about it. Even if he escapes, his injuries will not last for three to five months. How can he dare to run back?" Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, she was a little sensitive because of what happened before.

So in the next few days, Wang Lu seemed to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace.

Bai Ruozhu was busy arranging for people to disinfect the boat, and finally the pink eye went away. Gao Zhan was too lazy to care about anything, but went to diagnose Duan Nian's pulse every day.

He actually wanted to ask more about Chu Shuang, but Duan Nian didn't really know much, so he could only repeat the story about Chu Shuang stopping his clan members when he was expelled.

But for Duan Nian, this was a past that he didn't want to think about, but now he had to mention it repeatedly every day, which made him really painful.

He couldn't get angry with Gao Juan, so he simply put the blame on Bai Ruozhu. Who made Gao Juan Bai Ruozhu's father-in-law and nominal foster father?

So when Duan Nian saw Bai Ruozhu, he would ask him when he would be able to detoxify, or he would mock Bai Ruozhu as a quack doctor.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this in front of Wei Wei. Every time he pushed Wei Wei away, he started to find trouble with Bai Ruozhu.

Wei Wei was sent away by him to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of sweet soup that day. She walked to the kitchen below the cabin and said politely to the cook: "I'm here to get a bowl of sweet soup. I wonder if there is any left?" "

The cook glanced at her and said rudely: "No, I've given them to the masters. Please tell me earlier next time!"

Wei Wei felt sorry for Duan Nian, and she usually tried to satisfy whatever requests he had. But Wei Wei was not unreasonable at this moment, so she just wanted to talk to the cook and leave a bowl for her tomorrow.

Not wanting her to finish speaking, the cook said perfunctorily: "Okay, if there is any extra, I'll keep it for you."

Wei Wei is a smart girl, but as soon as she thought about it, she felt something was wrong. What does "if there is excess" mean? I told you a long time ago. Can't you just do more? Unless you don't want to give it to me on purpose.

But before she could ask any more questions, someone walked by and bumped into her, and then said rudely: "The kitchen is small, so it's not a girl's place. You'd better go back quickly, so as not to dirty your embroidered shoes."

If Wei Wei didn't know everyone's hostility at this time, she would be really stupid.

She opened her mouth to say something, but thinking about her identity and not wanting to cause trouble to Bai Ruozhu, she simply endured it.

She was about to leave, but she saw the cook pouring half a pot of sweet soup into the swill bucket, and there were still a lot of pearl dumplings in it.

Wei Wei suddenly became angry, "There is obviously so much sweet soup, but you would rather throw it away than give me a bowl. I have never heard of a cook being so cunning!"
