The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Jiang Hongxin shook her head. "Although I have been in Beijing for five years, I have never heard of the name you mentioned."

She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Muxia, "Why don't you ask Tang Zhongbai? He was born in the capital and knows more about the people and things in the capital than we do. You can ask him about it. How long will it take you to find him by yourself? Are you going to refuse to marry him until you can find him? Sister, you have put yourself in a dead end."

Jiang Muxia told her the reason why she didn't want to get married too early, but this was only one aspect. There was a more important reason. She wanted to make her business bigger and have something to show off so that she could feel at ease.

At any time, only when you have money in your hands can you feel confident.

When she said these words again, Jiang Hongxin laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "You are really interesting. Even if you take Suanzao County, what's the point? He is from an aristocratic family. From the moment he came into the world, even if you have a hundred abilities, you will never reach the height he was at birth. Since you got engaged, your fate has been tied together. Even if you don't borrow a little bit of his name, everyone who mentions you will look at his identity and give you a lot of convenience."

Jiang Muxia remained silent. What she said was all true and she had always understood it, but she still felt sad when someone made it clear to her.

But she is a stubborn person. Before what she has determined is completed, she will still do things according to her own ideas.

Jiang Hongxin stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't think too much. Be alert tonight, there are rats."

It was already dark outside. The sound of rain gradually died down, but the wind grew stronger, blowing against the windows and making slight knocking sounds.

Jiang Muxia took off her coat and got into bed.

With a myriad of thoughts running through her mind, she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep quickly.

As soon as midnight passed, this small inn became busy.

A tightly wrapped little figure tiptoed up to the second floor. He first stopped at the staircase and listened for a long time, and only after making sure that all six people upstairs were asleep did he continue to walk towards his target.

He held a three-inch long thin bamboo tube in his hand. He walked to Jiang Hongxin's room at the edge, opened a corner of the window to reveal a small hole, inserted the bamboo tube into it, and with his other hand took out a small black ball, lit it, and threw it into the room through the bamboo tube.

Using the same method, he skillfully cast it into other rooms as well.

After that, he left satisfied.

After he left, a little light came on in Jiang Hongxin's room. She held a fire starter and walked to the black ball that had not yet burned out.

With a sneer on his lips, he stepped on it, crushed it hard on the ground, wrapped the thing in a handkerchief and threw it on the table.

After washing my hands, I lay back down on the bed.

On the second day, the weather was fine and hot.

"Brother Yin is right. It's so hot and humid here. Even my breath feels sticky." Fuzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with great conviction.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's set off after breakfast. We have been out for three days. I don't know how the county is going." Tang Zhongbai frowned with a heavy heart.

"Little brother, I'll trouble you to lead the way today."

"It's okay. I haven't been home for a long time, so I'll visit my dad."

Xuehua stood at the door to see them off, "I hope to see you soon, and wish you all the best."

"I will." Jiang Hongxin smiled, but there was a sharp light in her eyes.

Lin Xiaoyu and Fuzi rode on the same horse, walking in front, leading them towards Xiaoyang Village.

Lin Xiaoyu brought them to the beach. Not far from the beach there was a simple shed made of wooden boards. Outside the shed stood a dark and thin old man in his fifties. He looked 80% similar to Lin Xiaoyu, but his eyes were clearer than Lin Xiaoyu's and his face looked a bit honest.

Perhaps because he has been living in the sea for many years, his skin is as rough as old tree bark, his body is flexible, and his eyes are agile. He seems to be able to see through people with just one glance.

"Dad, these guests are going to Wuquan Villa, can you give them a ride?"

The old man shook his head like a rattle, with a look of fear on his face, "You can't go, you little bastard. Last time I took a man with me, and he almost died in the hands of the pirates. You still want me to go. How much do you want me to die?"

He picked up the harpoon and swung it at Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu stood still. He hit two of them and then lost his temper.

The old man sat down on the beach and said, "You may not know, nine years ago, a large ship came from nowhere in the waters of Wuquan Villa. On it were three or four hundred men armed with sharp blades and extremely skilled in martial arts. Eight years ago, the villa owner's daughter died in their hands. Just three years ago, a man paid a large sum of money to ask me to take him there. We avoided that area and took seven days to get him there. On the way back, although I went back the same way, I somehow ran into a patrol team of theirs."

The old man felt a pang of fear when he thought of the life-threatening situation he had encountered.

"Fortunately, I had a lot of experience at sea and was lucky. I abandoned the boat and jumped into the sea. I swam several miles in one breath and grabbed a broken plank floating on the sea and escaped."

"I won't go there again. My life is more important." The old man waved his hand, his expression unquestionable.

"Uncle, has the person you sent back come back?" Yin Yusheng asked.

The old man shook his head. "I am only responsible for sending him to the island. How he returns is not my responsibility."

"Then do you know why the big ship stopped there?"

"I don't know. But I guess their target should be the old man on the island. I heard that he is a miracle doctor. There is no disease in the world that he can't cure as long as he takes action. I have only heard of him, and I have never seen him."

"But why don't they just go to the island to ask for help? Why bother guarding it?" Tang Zhongbai didn't understand.

"Because the people he loves most are on the island, and he wants to protect them." Yin Yusheng sighed and said that this was what Xu Da told him.

"I advise you to find another way. I can't help you." The old man got up and went back to the house.

The few of them were helpless and could only place their last hope on Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu came over with a wooden face and hardened his heart, "If he really doesn't want to, I will lead you. Although I am not as experienced as him, I am still very familiar with this sea area. I don't believe that going to a small island will be difficult for me.

He dared to lead the way, but they did not dare to let him lead the way.

Although they were not afraid of the pirates, they had to race against time. The longer they delayed here, the more the lives of the people in the county would be in danger.

"If it really doesn't work, we can just go by ourselves. Brother Xu drew a route to the island for me, and it's not impossible for us to get there by following the route." Yin Yusheng took out a map and spread it out on the beach.

Xu Da's drawing was concise, with all the key points appearing on the map, and even the location of the big ship was marked.

"Okay, we have to rent a boat. Tang Si, come with me to the village to ask the village chief."

As fate would have it, they met the three men from the inn at the village chief's house.
