Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 637: Find someone and tell them we need a translator
The companions confirmed the information, threw the soldier's body away, and ran towards the warehouse area.
Dan Suo asked Qiao Jianer to come to his house for dinner, and Qiao Jianer did not refuse. For her, meeting two pure souls in such a place was something worth cherishing.
When she arrived at Dansou's house, both the brother and sister were not there. After asking the neighbors, she found out that Dansou had gone to the mountains to look for his sister.
Qiao Lian'er lit a fire and cooked the porridge, but Suo also bought a pound of meat, and Pei Shijiu chopped up half a pound and put it into the porridge.
When the porridge was almost done, they saw Dan Suo coming back with Xida on his back.
Seeing several bloodstains on Xida's body, Qiao Jianer asked, "What happened? Is it serious?"
"I accidentally fell on the hillside, which is a common thing. It's just a superficial injury, no broken bones."
Dan Suo put Xida down and said apologetically, "You are guests. We should entertain you, but instead we make you suffer."
"It's just a piece of cake." Qiao Jianer took out a bottle of medicine powder from his sleeve and threw it to Dan Suo.
"Sprinkle this on Theda's wound."
"Yeah, thank you Miss Shui." But Suo knew that whatever the girl took out must be a good thing.
He carried Xida into the house, put her down, brought in a basin of clean water, cleaned her wound, dried it, sprinkled it with medicine powder, and then bandaged it with a cloth.
Seeing some wild vegetables in the basket, Pei Shijiu took them, washed them, broke them into pieces and put them into the porridge.
Wild vegetables have a unique fragrance, especially the ones Xida brought back. They were picked when they were the greenest and most tender, and they were very delicious.
Qiao Jianer poured the meat porridge into a bowl and added greasy duck eggs and pickled mustard greens.
Pei Shijiu picked it up and distributed it to everyone.
Flowing like clouds and running water, calm and elegant.
He found that when he did these things with her, there was an indescribable feeling of warmth that permeated his heart, like fragrant little flowers blooming.
It was as if he would be content even if he and her were just an ordinary couple in the fields.
"Thank you, Sister Shui, Brother Bai." Xida also came out of the house, took the meat porridge, lowered his head and took a sip, then slowly picked up his chopsticks, with satisfaction on his face.
Qiao Jian'er's heart softened when she was called "sister".
When Xida was eating, he was very quiet and upright, tilting his head from time to time, like a cute kitten immersed in eating.
Everyone ate the simple and delicious meat porridge mouthful by mouthful, filling their bellies and warming their stomachs.
Dan Suo washed the dishes and the sun had just set in the west, and the sky was filled with brilliant rays of light.
It's time to mention that matter to Miss Shui.
He looked around to see if there was anyone around, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Miss Shui, do you accept gems?"
Qiao Jianer glanced at him, but Suo should be asking for someone else. They, the brother and sister, were already very lucky to get those three valuable raw stones today.
The living standard here is extremely low, and prices are also very low. A family of ten only needs four taels of silver a year at most.
Therefore, for local residents, it is a great blessing to be able to pick up stones that can meet their living needs for a year.
Thinking about the mountain with rich reserves of rubies and emeralds, Qiao Jianer shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid I won't take it. You should ask someone else."
Yes, as long as she owns these hills, she can have as many gems as she wants, so why bother spending money to buy them.
Xida lowered his head, a hint of disappointment and a strong sense of worry appeared on his face.
But Suo also thought that accepting a gem was just a matter of convenience for Qiao Jianer. Since she didn't want to accept it, he wouldn't force her.
As long as this matter can be kept secret and they can find an opportunity to strike, the brother and sister will be safe.
This would not affect their friendship. In order to avoid Miss Shui noticing anything and making things difficult for herself, Suo smiled.
"I'm just asking casually. We not only produce jade here, but sometimes we can also find some gemstones. However, there are no mountains specifically mined for gemstones because we haven't found any yet."
Xida pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, twenty years ago, someone found a ruby the size of half a duck egg and made a fortune. Warlords and wealthy businessmen rushed to dig in that mountain. They dug very deep, but only found some low-quality gems that were not worth much. The mountain was not worth mining."
This made Qiao Jianer believe that they were just looking for a topic to talk about gems.
"Since you can find a good one among so many mountains, it means there are more good ones hidden. I hope Naga will bless you with good luck so that you can pick up a good gem, which is much more valuable than jade." Qiao Lianer gave her blessings.
Xida hugged his knees and watched the colorful clouds in the west gradually fade away. There was a hint of fear in his dark eyes.
The soldier was dead, and no one knew that the brother and sister had a priceless ruby in their hands. But for some reason, she had a worried intuition, as if what she had was not a ruby, but a piece of shining charcoal.
Maybe it was because it was the first time she saw her brother killing someone and seeing someone dying in front of her with a bloody head, so she was not used to it.
As night fell, the residential shantytowns at the foot of the mountain were only dotted with sparkling lights, while the warehouse area above, controlled by warlords and wealthy businessmen, was brightly lit. Looking in through the doors and windows, many people were drinking and eating meat, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
The soldier who came back to report the news was too excited to hear such great news. He accidentally slipped and rolled several times on the hillside. He was unconscious for a long time before he woke up. When he remembered what he had to do, he quickened his pace and rushed to the warehouse area.
Uncle Yin was drinking with his men. When he saw a wounded soldier stumbling in, he frowned.
Before he could open his mouth, the adjutant beside him started scolding him.
"You're such a grown man, but you don't know how to be more steady. Get out and get 20 slaps on the board."
"Uncle Yin, I have something to tell you, something very important. You will be very happy when you hear about it." The soldier panted and nodded.
Seeing the excitement on the other person's face, Uncle Yin waved to him to come over.
The soldier bowed his head and whispered to Uncle Yin for a while.
Uncle Yin: "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's true. Wangchai fought for this for Uncle Yin, and was killed by the brother and sister. His head was smashed and bleeding." The soldier pointed to his forehead: "It almost made a hole."
Uncle Yin thought that no matter how low the quality of the ruby was, as long as it was complete, its value would not be low. But he didn't know how much the one in the hands of the brother and sister was worth.
Let’s test the waters first.
"Go and fetch Danzo, and tell him that an interpreter is needed."
