As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Shalan has been living in that small courtyard.

The leg treatment is still going on.

Growing up, the many things she experienced taught her many principles, including not asking for trouble and not asking for trouble.

She was indeed feeling very uncomfortable. Now that Dr. Xu could relieve the symptoms, there was no way Shalan could change her plan because of the sudden appearance of Xie Changqing.

It seemed that Xie Changqing did not intend to let her know that he had appeared.

Then wouldn't Shallan pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend she didn't see it?

"Sister!"

Gene's cheerful voice came, and the boy ran to Shalan like a gust of wind.

He is over 11 years old this year and is as tall as a heel.

It had only been a month since Shallan had seen him, and she felt that he was much taller than the last time she saw him.

"Sister!"

Jean held Shalan's hand, his glazed brown eyes sparkling when he smiled, "Sister, let me tell you some good news. Everything for winter is ready."

"Clothes, charcoal fire, food, and seeds for next spring..."

The soil on the small plain on Molan Island is fertile. Over the years, the Molan people have introduced some food and vegetables that can be grown on the island by exchanging seeds with people on land.

There is not much soil for planting on the island, so you still have to stock up on food for winter.

They were at sea, not in the same country as the Qin people on land, and the government's control was very strict. It often cost dozens of times more money to exchange for these supplies.

Although the Molan people have many gems, the more they are used, the fewer they are and they will not be regenerated.

Therefore, in recent years, the Molan people sometimes would not directly negotiate with the Qin court in exchange for supplies. Instead, they would disguise themselves as other aliens in Danzhou and exchange supplies at low prices.

There are many ethnic groups near Danzhou. They have many connections with each other going back and help each other.

But there are not many businessmen who dare to do this kind of gray business.

Therefore, every time the Molan people have to waste a lot of effort to exchange for supplies, and sometimes no one dares to do those gray businesses, so the Molan people have no choice but to go to the government.

But this time it went very smoothly.

Jean happily shared the harvest with Shalan: "The price is very low, only [-]% of the previous price, which is a little higher than the transaction price of Qin people on land."

"The businessman said he wanted to earn some hard money for himself."

Gene was still talking non-stop, things had been loaded on the boat, the anchor was weighed and the boat was set off.

There was a hint of surprise in Shalan's eyes.

Is it really convenient for someone not to make money for them?

Is there such a fool?
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Gene saw that Shalan was absent-minded. He stopped talking and asked hesitantly: "Are you still complaining about the people in the clan who... blamed you for provoking that person?" Are you unhappy about the island?"

"No."

Shalan smiled, "Then are you going back to the island soon?"

She didn't want to talk about those things.

That was the clan land that her mother had protected for many years.

Mother had protected those tribesmen, and she had also protected them.

When those people blamed her, she felt ridiculous and ironic, and felt that the strength she had gathered for her people suddenly disappeared.

Other than that, there seems to be nothing else.

"That's right." Jean said with a look of reluctance, "I was originally going to go to sea with the cargo, but I really miss Sister... Sister, will it take a long time for your leg to be cured?"

"Yes." Sha Lan smiled and nodded, "Doctor Xu's medical skills are very good, but my sister's condition is more complicated, and it will take a little more time to cure her completely."

"Then your leg is healed, will you return to the island?"

Shalan was silent for a moment, smiled and did not respond, "Sang He went to buy delicious food. You should eat more tonight." Gene also smiled.

But I feel a little lonely in my heart.

He is 11 years old and is no longer young. After experiencing the destruction of his country and his family, his mind has grown rapidly and he is no longer the immature kid who didn't understand anything before.

He thought that his sister didn't want to go back to the island.

The island is the family's home, but it may not be a good place for Sister A, and she doesn't have many happy memories there.

The siblings had dinner together.

Jean stayed in the small courtyard of Salana for one night. Early the next morning, he reluctantly left the small courtyard with a few followers and went to sea to go home.

Shalan didn't go to see him off, but asked Sang He to go and see him off.

She felt as if she didn't feel any sadness at parting, maybe because she knew she would meet again soon.

The courtyard is far away from the pier.

After Sang He left with Jean, Shalan went to Cixin Hall with the doctor's wife.

During the last acupuncture session, Dr. Xu from Cixin Hall asked Shalan to go there in the morning to talk about new treatment methods.

Shalan didn't want her legs to be so sore day and night that she couldn't sleep, and she was willing to be a patient who cooperated with the treatment.

After leading the doctor into the Cixin Hall, where Shalan usually performs acupuncture, Dr. Xu walked in not long after and said, "Miss Yaya's leg has recovered quite well recently, but if she wants to recover completely, it is best to Soak in the hot springs.”

"There is an excellent hot spring on Baojing Mountain. Miss Yaya should tidy up and leave with the old man tomorrow to go there for treatment."

Shalan was slightly startled: "Baojing Mountain?"

"Yes." Dr. Xu stroked his beard and said, "My brother paid a lot of money to let me treat Miss Yaya. As for Baojing Mountain, my brother also gave the noble lady a huge gem. Your grace.”

"We can go up there."

"There are not many opportunities like this. Pack up quickly and leave tomorrow."

Shalan frowned slightly.

An apprentice came to call Dr. Xu and said that something was going on ahead. Dr. Xu quickly apologized and left.

Shalan also knew to take the doctor's wife back to her small courtyard.

On the way back, the doctor's wife was so happy that she packed her bags immediately after returning.

Shalan frowned slightly, sitting in front of the window and thinking, always feeling that things were a bit weird.

More than half an hour later, Sang He came back.

Shalan asked: "Do you know about the hot springs and Baojing Mountain?"

"know."

Sang He replied with a smile on his face: "He told me when he sent the king to the ship just now. He said he hoped that the princess would take good treatment and recover soon. This was a surprise from the king to the princess, so he didn't tell me when we met."

Shallan was silent for a moment and nodded.

Molan has many gems that are not found on land, and some noble people on the shore will indeed facilitate them for the gems.

This was a common thing in the past.

Shalan didn't think much and helped the doctor's wife pack her bags.

Early the next morning, Shalan took the doctor's wife and Sang He and set off with Dr. Xu to Baojing Mountain, leaving only one guard and a woman guarding the small courtyard.

Baojing Mountain has beautiful scenery and is located five hundred miles northwest of Danzhou. It took several days of walking.

After arriving, they were led to a villa by a well-dressed middle-aged woman.

Shalan recognized Qin's name, and when she entered, she saw a plaque hanging on the door of the villa - Baojing Villa. (End of chapter)
