But a trace of worry appeared on Suo's face: "If I leave, these villagers will also be driven away. Then they will be displaced, some will starve to death, and some will be killed."

Qiao Jianer fell silent.

Dan Suo looked at her and said, "Miss Shui, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Not really, it's just that such righteousness is very rare, because it makes you willing to give up a life of wealth and carefreeness, a life that people here desperately seek but cannot obtain."

"It's not because I help them that they treat me so well. We lost our parents early in life, and it was the villagers who helped us survive. That's why I'm willing to give to them. Otherwise, I would rather consider Xida a little more. She needs her brother's company."

Dan Suo pointed toward the base of the wall and said, "Those eggs, the meat I can't eat once a year, the carefully selected rice, the medicinal wine, and the herbs were all sent here by the villagers this morning. They didn't abandon me in my condition, so I won't abandon them either."

He gazed into the air, seeming to sigh with emotion: "Don't underestimate those warlords and soldiers who are as ferocious as wolves and tigers. In fact, this is not the true nature of us Puchen people. The people here are just as simple and peaceful, just wanting to live a peaceful life with their feet on the ground. But they have fallen into this situation, risking their lives every day to grab a bite of food. How pitiful and innocent they are."

"Sometimes I really wish all these warlords would die and give us a clean land."

When he got excited, he started coughing and his face turned red.

Qiao Jianer said, "Brother Dansuo, if you want to stay, then stay. Xida will leave with us. Don't worry, she won't suffer any injustice in the capital. I will let her receive an education in Han culture and she will be reborn."

Dan Suo listened with a comforting look on his face: "Thank you for your hard work."

He didn't have the confidence to make such a request before, but now that he has the ruby, he can finally arrange it for his sister.

"As for this place, I will take over some hills. Then I will have my own people and they will take care of you." Qiao Jianer continued.

But Suo was surprised: "Miss Shui, are you really going to climb the mountain here? Aren't you worried at all? No matter whether the mountain you are looking for has a mine or not, they will not let you have an easy time in the future."

After all, being able to take over the mountain and become a mine owner is already a force, and there will always be clashes and confrontations with other forces.

Qiao Jianer curled the corner of her mouth: "I'm afraid I'll make their life difficult."

Dan Suo looked at Pei Shijiu again. This Mr. Bai had always been following Miss Shui and seemed to have some deep feelings for her.

But when he heard what Miss Shui said, he didn't worry at all. Instead, he felt relaxed and confident.

But Suo had a feeling in his heart, maybe he underestimated Miss Shui?

Thinking of last night when the ruby ​​was replaced without anyone noticing, he couldn't help but feel awe.

The water girl really has magical powers. She must have brought a lot of powerful people with her, but no one noticed it. This is amazing.

Moreover, when she went to Uncle Yin, nothing happened to her and she escaped unscathed. Now Uncle Yin no longer makes things difficult for her.

But Suo had a premonition in his heart that maybe in the future, Miss Shui would kill Uncle Yin and his men, and restore peace and tranquility here.

But I also felt that he was a little naive. He must have suffered a lot over the years, and since he couldn't realize it himself, he had to pin his hopes on Miss Water.

Uncle Yin has been rooted here for generations, so how could he possibly shake it? If Miss Shui wants to open a mine, then let her open a mine. I hope she finds a good mine and everything goes well for her.

Although Xida was outside, her ears were very sensitive and she heard everything that was said inside.

The ruby ​​is still there, replaced by the water girl, and is worth three million taels.

Her brother wants to send her to the capital.

But he wants to stay here.

Originally, Xida wanted to go in and object, but after listening to the reasons her brother gave, she felt that forcing her brother to go with her would only make things difficult for her brother and make him feel uneasy.

Over the years, the residents have been really good to the orphans. The elder brother couldn't just care about his own enjoyment and abandon them to such a cruel place.

A few more villagers came with baskets and things in their hands. Xida put down the half-finished rice porridge and walked to the gate of the yard.

"Uncles and aunts, my brother is in the house with guests. Everyone has already sent a lot of things, including food and medicine. Please don't send any more. Take them all back."

The villagers did not go in to disturb her. They asked about Dan Suo's situation and comforted her a few words. She was determined to put down her things before leaving.

Xida watched everyone leave and felt warm in her heart. She could understand why her brother made this decision.

One day, those warlords will be dealt with and peace will return here. By then, she will have established a firm foothold in the capital and will bring her brother over.

She didn't want to leave her brother, but she couldn't keep so much wealth here, so she had to move to another place to guard it for the future of both of them.

Xida clenched his fists and drank the remaining half bowl of rice porridge.

After the two left, Dan Suo called Xida into the house. The look in his eyes when he looked at his sister was full of reluctance, but more of the relief of fulfillment.

"Xida, I asked Miss Shui and Mr. Bai to take you to the capital. They are willing to do so and said they will provide you with a good place to stay."

It was not convenient for him to tell Ceda that the ruby ​​was still there. Ceda was only eight years old, too young, and might reveal the flaws if he was not careful.

Wait until we get to the capital and let her know the truth.

Xida nodded: "I will follow my brother's arrangements."

But Suo originally thought that it would take a lot of persuasion, but when he saw his sister agreed so quickly, he was relieved.

"When you go to the capital, they will teach you Chinese culture. You must study hard."

"Well, when I become stronger, I will come to pick you up. I know you are worried about the residents here. I hope that by then, this place will be peaceful and you can come with me without worry."

Dansuo held his sister's hand, his eyes red.

For the next few nights, Qiao Jianer was busy moving the mountain.

After six days, everything was finally ready.

There are many more stones on those hills, all buried in the soil and covered in grass, and the overall look is no different from before.

The next step is to find the manager.

Puchen is a small country with an area of ​​only 400,000 square kilometers. Their capital, Dawa, is only 500 miles away from here and can be reached in one day by a fast horse.

However, for Qiao Jianer, it was just a matter of selecting an address and specifying the arrival time.

Dawa is not a big city. Its area is the same as that of a medium-sized provincial capital city in Daze State. The streets are arranged in a rather messy manner, the buildings are quite backward, and the business is not very prosperous.

The two found themselves outside the Grand Secretary's Mansion.
