The western suburbs of Fengli Capital City.
A small fishing village.
"Mom, why does this eldest brother keep sleeping?" Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang squatted beside the bed with their chins in their hands, looking at the man on the bed with the same curious faces.
"What are you two wondering about here? Hurry up and go to school!" The fat aunt was impatient and angry. The two brats were curious about this and that day by day, without stopping, but they were not curious about knowledge.
"Mom, we can take care of big brother! No one will take care of him when you leave." Da Zhuang volunteered.
"Mom, I can do it too!" Er Zhuang recommended him when he saw this, with a look of determination that he could do it.
The fat aunt became more and more angry as she listened, "I'll let you take care of me, I'll let you take care of me!" She picked up the soles of her shoes and a broom, threw one of the two soles at a child, and then chased the two children with the broom.
Until I ran to the village school.
The two children realized it was too late!
It’s over!
I can't skip class today.
"Little bastards, you are still young when you are still fighting with me!" The fat aunt panted as she walked towards her home.
Seeing that the man on the bed still showed no signs of improvement, he changed the medicine for his injury, gave him medicine, and drank some water. Seeing that there were few parts of his body that were healthy, he sighed, "Brother, I don't know why you are injured." If it's like this, Auntie hopes you wake up quickly, the doctor said you'll be fine once you wake up."
"Looking at your young age, you must not have married and had children yet. You still have a long life ahead of you. There is no good medicine to treat your injuries in my small fishing village. You can only ask for your own blessings and wake up." You can treat it slowly by yourself."
"I'm leaving first. You have a good sleep and try to wake up as soon as possible!"
After the fat aunt finished speaking, she went out by herself. She would go to the shop to sell tofu today.
The tofu must be fresh.
She didn't dare to tell others that she had saved a stranger. Only the village doctor and the village chief knew about it. I heard that the village chief had a daughter in his family.
The woman looked like she came from a wealthy and powerful family. She was dressed in a way that she had never heard of before, let alone seeing her before.
I don’t know if I am saving someone or getting into trouble.
There seem to be a lot of strange faces in the village recently.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
"Fat Aunt, you're a little late today!" A clear child's voice sounded.
The fat aunt was startled and patted her heart. She was scared to death!
Turning around, I saw it was Xiao Ali.
"Little Ah Li, Fat Aunt is delayed by something today!" Seeing Little Ah Li, Fat Aunt thought of someone.
That old man Qiu doesn't interact with others and has a bad temper, but he has always been here safe and sound. He must not be an ordinary person.
"Little Ali, is your grandpa here?" Fat Aunt asked.
"Here, my grandpa is making jewelry!" Little Ali said excitedly.
After hearing this, the fat aunt strode into the Xishi store to look for Master Qiu.
"Mr. Qiu, I, I have something to ask you."
Master Qiu raised his head and signaled to Fat Auntie.
"That's right, isn't our village a small fishing village? My man went fishing in Shanghai a few days ago and caught a man."
"This man was still breathing after drifting on the sea for a day and a night. He was destined to die. His life should not have been cut off, so we sent him to a doctor to treat his injuries. He is still unconscious."
"I saw that it would not be easy for him to suffer such a misfortune at such a young age, so I left him to recuperate at my home."
"He seems to be rich or noble. We don't think about what he can give us in return. Now we are worried that he will not bring any trouble to my family, right?"
"Have you caught anyone else in your village?" Master Qiu thought of the recent disappearance of the Qinglong people, which has made people panic.
"There is another woman at the village chief's house. The woman was unharmed, but she didn't wake up." Upon hearing this, the fat aunt spoke in such a low voice that only those close to her ears could hear her clearly.
"Don't panic, I probably understand. Don't worry, it's okay. Take good care of the people you save." Master Qiu finished his instructions and stopped what he was doing.
"Fat Aunt, help me call Ah Li in. Just do whatever you have to do and don't worry about it. Go ahead."
"Ah Li, Ah Li~" The fat aunt's loud voice could be heard from across the street.
In fact, Ah Li had been eavesdropping outside the door. She was curious about what the fat aunt would say to her grandfather.
She heard the fat aunt's loud voice even if she lowered her voice.
But in order to prevent her grandfather and fat aunt from knowing that she was eavesdropping, she ran to a shop that was a little far away, a shop selling dried fruits, and responded loudly, "Fat aunt, I'm here!"
Waving his arms, he ran to the Xishi store.
"Little Ancestor, please stop running around. Your grandpa is looking for you, so go ahead!" After the fat aunt told Xiao Ali, she went to sell her own tofu.
"Grandpa, look for me." Little Ali ran over excitedly.
"Ah Li, let's go to the princess's mansion." Master Qiu's old voice sounded.
"Okay, okay!" Although Ah Li didn't know why, when she heard that she was going to Qingqing's sister's house, she immediately danced excitedly.
Master Qiu was not short of money and rented a carriage to go.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the princess's mansion.
"My name is Xiao Ali, and I'm here to see Sister Qingqing." Xiao Ali happily jumped off the carriage and said to the guard at the door.
"Please inform the princess that the old man and his granddaughter have requested to see Her Royal Highness. They have important matters to discuss with the princess."
The first thing I saw was that the old man was a sensible person, and he should really have something important to discuss with the princess.
So he went to the front yard to report.
"Princess, it was said at the door that an old man and a little girl were asking to see you. It should be Master Qiu and Xiao Ali." Zhutao came in to report.
It has been two days since Shen Yunzheng and Yan Yuning disappeared, and no one has received any news about them.
Jiang Qingjiu could only start preparing for the Shiguangjin store.
After a busy day, I was planning to go see what was going on in Du Ruo after breakfast.
Then I heard Zhutao reporting the matter, "Quick, please come in!"
Jiang Qingjiu likes Xiao Ali very much, but she doesn’t know why.
But Master Qiu is also here, presumably because he has something important to do.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Master Qiu came in and immediately saluted.
"Master Qiu, please don't try to offend me. I recognize Xiao Ali as my sister, and you are just like my grandfather. It's my turn to salute you." Jiang Qingjiu stopped Master Qiu from saluting.
"Princess, the etiquette cannot be discarded." Master Qiu said stubbornly.
"Master Qiu, etiquette is only for outsiders to see. Do you have something important to do here?" Jiang Qingjiu gently helped Master Qiu and invited him to his seat.
He said to little Ah Li, "Ah Li, go play with Sister Zhutao first, and then Sister Qingqing will take you to play, okay?"
"Okay." Little Ah Li went out sensibly even though she was a little disappointed.
"Princess, the missing people should know their news." Master Qiu's words stirred up waves.
Jiang Qingjiu stood up excitedly, "Really?"
