Chapter 152 The Burden is Different
After hearing Aunt Zhang say someone was looking for her, Jiang Chuyue dropped the things in her hands and went out. The person was a waiter from Samadhi Pharmacy, and he said he was safe.
"Miss Jiang, Shopkeeper Wei asked me to deliver a message saying that your second uncle has received a letter, but it is not confirmed whether it is your second uncle. So I am afraid you need to go and take a look to see if it is your second uncle."
As soon as Ping'an saw Jiang Chuyue, he told her everything like beans spilling out of a bamboo tube.
Jiang Chuyue then realized that they had accidentally discovered a person in the county who looked exactly like the portrait Jiang Chuyue had provided before. The only difference was that the person's whereabouts were strange and he also had a home in the county. Therefore, Shopkeeper Wei did not dare to fully confirm whether the person was Xiao Li.
"The shopkeeper also checked, and the man's name seems to be Wu Yu, not Xiao Li, so I'm even less sure."
Jiang Chuyue had an idea in her mind. Combined with what Xiao Yihao had said before about Xiao Li leaving for the county, she could infer that Xiao Li was probably Wu Yu.
However, since she hadn't actually seen the person, Jiang Chuyue couldn't be completely sure. In order to confirm whether it was Xiao Li, Jiang Chuyue decided to go to the county.
After arranging all matters before leaving, Jiang Chuyue and Ping'an went straight out of Wanshan Village and headed towards the county.
Along the way, Ping'an took good care of Jiang Chuyue and was also quite curious about the fact that Wanshan Village grew medicinal herbs.
"Miss Jiang, it turns out that everyone in your village grows medicinal herbs. No wonder you have so many herbs to sell."
"Yes and no, there weren't so many people growing medicinal herbs before. It's only this year that they've planted more and more." Because Ping'an is young, Jiang Chuyue speaks casually, unlike the cautious and careful way she is when she's with He Hua and the others.
Ping An also smiled and said, "When I came here, I heard many people praising Miss Jiang, saying that without you, their lives would be very difficult now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuyue knew that it must be Aunt Wang and the others who said this.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, they are exaggerating." Jiang Chuyue followed Ping An slowly and replied to him casually. She found that there seemed to be a strange-shaped object in the bag Ping An was carrying. The more Jiang Chuyue looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Ping'an, you don't have to be so polite. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me sister." Jiang Chuyue concentrated and deliberately tried to get close to Ping'an. Ping'an was just a young child, and it didn't take long for Jiang Chuyue to coax him around.
Jiang Chuyue asked casually, "I see that the things you are carrying are quite heavy. Did you buy something good for Shopkeeper Wei?"
"No way, sister." Ping An said with a bitter face, "I'm just helping someone deliver something. I don't know what it is. It's so heavy."
Ping An weighed the bag he was carrying. Jiang Chuyue smiled and said, pretending to be kind, "How about I help you carry it for a while? I see you are too tired."
Ping An refused subconsciously, "How can that be possible? How can I, a grown man, ask you for help?"
But under Jiang Chuyue's sugar-coated encouragement, Ping An finally handed the bag to Jiang Chuyue. He held some snacks given by Jiang Chuyue in his hand and felt uneasy while eating.
"Sis, if it's too heavy, just give it to me. Don't tire yourself out."
"You underestimate your sister. I work in the fields every day and my strength is no less than yours." Jiang Chuyue didn't show it on her face. She was still chatting with Ping'an. One hand had already reached into the bag. Based on the shape, she felt that the thing looked a bit like a musket.
She couldn't help but feel frightened. She wasn't sure whether muskets had already appeared in this storybook world. But she was clear that even if there were muskets and explosives, they were not something that ordinary people could have. What's more, the thing she touched was of delicate shape. It didn't look like a rough musket, but more like a gun.
Jiang Chuyue couldn't be completely sure either, because this thing was somewhat different from what she had touched before, so she couldn't confirm it completely.
If you want to confirm, you still have to take it out and check it yourself.
But Ping'an was still there, so Jiang Chuyue had no chance to take out the thing and take a closer look. After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Chuyue tried many ways to get Ping'an away along the way, but the child was very stubborn and didn't dare to let the bag out of his sight.
"Sister, if I lose this thing, I will have a hard time." Although Jiang Chuyue's methods were not too bad, she tried to get him away again and again. No matter how stupid Ping An was, he could tell something was wrong, and finally he took the bag.
Jiang Chuyue smiled awkwardly, "Ping An, you misunderstood me, but I am indeed curious about what is in it. It doesn't look big, so why is it so heavy?"
Jiang Chuyue had no choice but to test Ping An directly.
Ping'an didn't know what was inside, and he had no curiosity at all, so none of the methods that Jiang Chuyue had thought of could be used.
In the end, she could only watch Ping An send the things in the bag away, while she was left in Zuixiangju, waiting for the arrival of Manager Wei.
While waiting for Manager Wei, Jiang Chuyue wanted to follow Ping'an and find out what was in the bag, but before she could move, Mo Jingchun sat down opposite her.
"There's someone here." Jiang Chuyue was in a bad mood and spoke in a bad tone.
Seeing the person in front of her tearing off her veil, Jiang Chuyue's voice gradually weakened.
"Jingchun, why are you here?"
"Keep your voice down." Mo Jingchun looked around and made sure that no one noticed them before asking, "You asked me, but I want to ask you, why did you come to the county? Didn't Xiao Yihao tell you to stay at home and not go out?"
Mo Jingchun was obviously surprised by Jiang Chuyue's appearance.
Jiang Chuyue was a little puzzled. "He did say that, but don't I have something to do? I asked someone to help me find Xiao Li before, and this time they helped me find him, but the man's name in the county is Wu Yu."
"Wu Yu?" Mo Jingchun looked at Jiang Chuyue with suspicion, "Did you ask someone to help you investigate Xiao Li?"
Realizing that something was obviously wrong with Mo Jingchun, Jiang Chuyue also realized that something was wrong.
"It was Shopkeeper Wei from Samadhi, who I was working with. He found out. Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. We have been keeping an eye on Wu Yu for several days, and he has never left the house. How did Manager Wei know about Wu Yu's existence?" Mo Jingchun did not doubt Jiang Chuyue, but felt that there might be something wrong with this Manager Wei she mentioned.
"I once gave Manager Mo a portrait. Maybe he learned about it through the portrait?" Jiang Chuyue guessed tentatively.
Mo Jingchun's smile was a little weird.
