Chapter 220 Uninvited Guest
“Is it delicious, Miru?”
Xiaoquan Village.
The woman held the child in her arms, wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth with loving eyes, and asked.
“Yes!” The little boy nodded, and then handed the cake to his mother’s mouth, “Mom, you eat too.”
“No need, eat it yourself. There are still a lot here. Mom will eat them when we go back.” The woman raised the wooden box filled with various cakes and said with a smile.
A box of cakes probably cost her nearly 30,000 Baileys.
But the woman didn’t feel sorry at all.
On the one hand, the child likes to eat and she is also very happy.
On the other hand, thirty thousand Baileys might have been too extravagant given her previous conditions, but for her now…it was really nothing.
After all, the money she earned from selling seasonal fruits on the outer islands alone had already reached more than 800,000 Baileys.
This was the first time she had seen so much money in person. While she was excited and thrilled, she was also filled with gratitude towards Minian’s family.
It was because she knew very well that the current “prosperity” of Xiaoquan Village was entirely inseparable from the help of this family.
“Hey, A Xiang, have you just come back from the outer island?” A middle-aged man carrying a shoulder pole passed by and greeted her with a smile.
“Yeah, Brother Qino, what are you doing?” The woman…or should I say Ah Xiang, smiled back at the other party.
The man called Qino reached out and lifted the white cloth on the basket. “I just went to the pen to milk the goats. I milked dozens of bottles. I’ll send two bottles to your child later.”
“Thank you, Brother Chino. Come on, Miru, say thank you to Uncle Chino.”
“Thank you Uncle Chino~~” The little boy, holding the cake in his mouth, thanked the middle-aged man in a crisp voice.
Unknowingly, a large breeding farm had already been built in the village.
Pig pens, sheep pens, cattle pens… everything you can think of.
Various animals are kept in captivity to provide resources for the villagers of Xiaoquan Village.
Such as wool, cashmere, hides, medicinal materials, as well as meat, eggs, milk, etc.
The quantity is so huge that every production can bring at least tens of millions of profits to the village.
This is also thanks to the knowledge about animal husbandry that Xia He acquired in his previous life.
Looking down from the mountain, the once dilapidated village has now become brand new.
Not only have the houses been renovated to become more sturdy and beautiful, but lanterns and smoked meat are hung at the doors of every household. Children, wearing thick new clothes, are playing in front of their doors. The elderly are sitting on recliners in the yard, looking at their grandchildren with smiles. It is a scene of peace and harmony.
“It’s only been a year… It’s simply… incredible.”
mountain top.
Inside the viewing pavilion that was built at an unknown time, Kedemo put down the telescope in his hand and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Hahaha, now you should know how powerful Xia He is, right?” Pat picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
At the same time, I was also sighing in my heart that Xia He’s winemaking skills are getting better and better.
This wine, if placed in a more prosperous town, would probably be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of Baileys, right?
“I have always believed in Xia He’s ability.” Kedemo chuckled, “Ever since he was able to cure my daughter’s illness, I have firmly believed that he will never deceive me.”
I just don’t know why such a god-like, omnipotent child would appear in their remote place?
“Treatment… Come to think of it, Minnie Ann’s family was also suffering from an extremely serious infectious disease and was saved by Xia He.” Pat shook his head. If Xia He had not appeared, he really couldn’t imagine what kind of ending Minnie Ann and her parents would face.
perhaps……
The entire island of Karavis will be “destroyed” by that horrible infectious disease, right?
“Infectious disease?” It was the first time that Kedemo heard of this and raised his eyebrows.
“Well, it’s nothing. The disease has been cured a long time ago. It won’t endanger the safety of the villagers. Don’t worry.” Pat realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Kedemo. Seeing this, Kedemo didn’t ask any more questions.
After all, a year has passed. If an infectious disease really had spread, their village would probably have been reduced to ruins long ago.
not to mention……
Over the past year, all the villagers’ illnesses, both major and minor, have been completely cured. With such medical skills, as long as Xia He is here, what else does he have to worry about?
“It’s been a good harvest recently, and I don’t have anything to do anyway, so how about drinking to my heart’s content today?”
“Come, don’t leave until you’re drunk!”
“belch!”
However, about an hour later.
The two were drinking happily, and Kedemo looked down the mountain again. Unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of something unusual.
“Ok?”
“What’s wrong?” Pat looked at him puzzled.
“It seems like a ship is approaching the dock.”
“Boat?”
“Yes.”
Kedemo’s brows suddenly frowned, “It’s a strange ship, it looks like a pirate ship.”
“Are there pirates coming to our island?”
Pat put down his wine glass and stood up from the stone bench.
Before he could pick up the telescope to take a look, he saw Kedemo had already picked up the machete at his waist and ran down the mountain quickly.
……
Since the growth of Koizumi Village, Fez, Walter and Kurto, at the suggestion of the village chief Kedemo, returned to their old jobs and formed a security team of less than 20 people to protect the safety of the island.
“Hey, who is it?”
Face raised a flintlock pistol, pointed it at the pirates who came down from the ship, and shouted with a very vigilant look.
“pistol?”
The leader, a man with tattoos on his face, raised his eyebrows at Feisi and others with disdain.
The tattoo was a snake, starting from the man’s left cheek, going down his neck, and extending all the way to his chest, giving people a very eerie and terrifying feeling.
“It seems that this place is much richer than I thought.”
His eyes swept over the armed sheriffs, and the tattooed man immediately stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the village on the island.
“There’s smoke…”
“And there’s a lot of smoke…”
“It seems like we have really come to the right place this time.”
He muttered a few words quietly, then waved to the crew members behind him.
The next second, a boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Minian, was dragged off the pirate ship.
“So, how much money are you prepared to pay to redeem this kid?” the tattooed man continued.
