Travel through time and make a fortune from crayfish!

Su Jiuyue did not sleep well that night.

I got up early the next day.

Wandering around the village with nothing to do.

I did meet a few villagers who got up early.

Everyone looked at her with a strange expression, and it was hard to tell whether it was disgust or resistance.

Maybe a little apprehensive.

Not very friendly anyway.

……

Su Jiuyue was too lazy to greet strangers.

He walked around the village by himself.

Then he returned to Gouwazi's house in a depressed mood.

There are some differences between Redwood Village and Xinghua Village.

Xinghua Village is mostly paddy fields, and the villagers basically make a living by growing rice.

There are some apricot trees planted in the fields. When the apricots are ripe, merchants from other places will come to the village to purchase them.

The main source of income for the villagers of Xinghua Village is selling apricots.

The Redwood Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the village is all dry land.

The villagers grow some seasonal vegetables and wheat.

The source of income for Redwood Village is the timber from the mountains.

Ordinary wood costs about five to ten coppers.

Even though they were cheated by the unscrupulous businessman named Shen, the bulk of Redwood Village’s income still comes from redwood wood!

In recent years, Chimu Mountain, where the redwood forest is located, has been closed.

The quality of life of the villagers has also dropped sharply...

Su Jiuyue paced in the yard with her head down.

She is not concerned about the villagers' income.

only……

Since last night, I have been feeling a little uneasy...

I can see that Gouwazi is not lying.

Well, there's another wild beast roaming around the village!

This is always a big hidden danger!

Although the people in this village were not friendly to them, it was understandable.

She couldn't bear to watch a village fall into crisis...

But without evidence, no one would believe that the wild beast had come down the mountain.

They didn't take Gou Wa Zi's reminder seriously...

I just walked around the village and didn't find any traces of ferocious beasts...

Could it be that I am just believing everything I hear and thinking too much?

Maybe the ferocious beast that Gouwazi saw has returned to the mountain?

……

"What are you thinking about! I saw you spinning around in the yard so early in the morning! I feel dizzy because of you!"

Lin Qingqing smiled and patted Su Jiuyue's shoulder!

“Come and eat!”

Su Jiuyue responded and followed Lin Qingqing to the kitchen.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice when breakfast was ready!

That's it.

If you are worrying too much, just go to the foot of Akagi Mountain and you will know!

I have learned tracking techniques for so long in modern times!

If there is a wild beast, are you afraid that you can't track it?

……

After breakfast, Lin Qingqing found an excuse to say goodbye to Gouwazi and his wife.

After the two tried to persuade her to stay in vain, they packed some local specialties and sighed as they sent Lin Qingqing out of the village.

Gouwazi was just going to the county town to do some shopping.

The two of them went together.

After watching the two go away, Su Jiuyue and Aunt Xu went back home chatting and laughing.

Perhaps it was too shocking that Su Jiuyue caught the millstone with her bare hands yesterday.

The villagers in the village only dared to watch the excitement from afar with unfriendly eyes.

But no one came forward to cause trouble.

Just walked away and heard some discordant sounds.

It's nothing more than "One has left, why is this one still here?"

"Are they still planning to take over the redwood? These profiteers are so disgusting!"

"Oh! She won't be able to take a single redwood tree while we're here!"

Su Jiuyue pretended not to hear.

Until things become clear, who can say for sure?

……

"Mrs. Xu, why are you sewing so many cloth bags?"

After returning from the village entrance, Mrs. Xu took a piece of cloth from the room.

Not a good material.

Just the cheapest khaki linen.

Although it is cheap, one horse still costs several hundred copper coins!

Mrs. Xu cut the cloth into small pieces and sewed them into small cloth bags.

I've been sewing for almost an hour!

I don't see them doing any business...

To say that they were sewn and sold doesn't quite make sense.

It's fine if there's no profit, but the embroidery is obviously too crude...

Su Jiuyue tilted her head, puzzled.

Finally I couldn't help but ask.

Xu kept moving her hands and didn't even look at Su Jiuyue.

"Ah, nothing, I was just at home with nothing to do, so I just sewed it casually..."

The tone is a little weak...

Su Jiuyue heard that her words were evasive, so she didn't ask any more questions.

I am not the type of person who would dig deep to get to the bottom of things.

Everyone has their own little secrets.

It’s just that my needlework is really not that good.

Can't help much...

……

Nothing to do, Su Jiuyue started walking around the village again.

This time, she was particularly serious.

Look carefully for tracks on the road and in the grass.

What is certain is that there are no signs of wild animals near Redwood Village.

Su Jiuyue let out a long breath.

My heart dropped a little...

When I returned to Gouwazi's house, he had just come back from shopping.

He was carrying a backpack, which was filled to the brim.

It was covered with a piece of cloth and no one knew what was inside.

There were a few idle women who glanced over here from time to time.

"This guy is really pretentious. He's holding the regular silver. It's as if everyone knows that he has money."

"That's right. Look at that Xu. She's wearing such tattered clothes on purpose. Who is she showing off to? Pah!"

"They are probably afraid that the people in the village will borrow money from them!"

The tone was like a jar of sauerkraut being overturned, and the sour smell could be smelled from half a mile away!

They exchanged glances with an expression that showed they understood each other.

"Yes, it was only after that incident that this family started pretending to be poor..."

"In the past, there were no patches on Xu's clothes..."

"Tsk tsk... I wonder how well he lives behind people's backs! Look at all the bags he bought... He only pretends to be nice in front of others, for fear of being found by those people..."

He glanced away and the others understood.

"It's not..."

Su Jiuyue saw all of this.

No matter where you are, there are always gossipers...

When I have nothing to do, I like to stare at other people's arrangements. No matter whether they are good or bad, I always have to say a few words!

Gently pull the corners of your mouth.

Although she didn't quite understand some of what they said, she didn't want to explore it.

Once the matter in Redwood Village is settled, she will leave.

Now he is just angry at the evil deeds of the county government and wants to seek justice for the innocent souls who died.

At the same time, the potential danger in Redwood Village has not been eliminated.

You can say she has a kind heart, or you can say she overestimates her own abilities.

Since she's here now, she probably wants to help.

As for this Gouwazi's family, what secrets does it have?

As long as it doesn't harm her, who cares!

Su Jiuyue greeted Gouwazi with a smile.

"Brother Yang! You're back!"

"Hey!"

Gouwazi also agreed with a smile.

Obviously, he had long been accustomed to the weird atmosphere in the village.

This little bastard doesn't even get annoyed when people frame him.

You can see that the smile on his face is very warm and sincere!

Su Jiuyue was infected by his laughter and seemed to be in a much better mood.

The two of them walked into the yard side by side and closed the gate.

Block out unfriendly looks and voices.

Xu came forward to greet her.

"You're back! Have you bought everything? It's almost the end of the month..."

Gouwazi smiled innocently.

"Don't worry, I've bought them all! You stay busy at home this afternoon, I have to go to the foot of Akagi Mountain."

"I'll always feel uneasy if I don't go and see it."

Su Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.

"Brother Yang, I'm free anyway, take me with you!"

It just so happens that I also plan to check for traces of wild animals...
