Chapter 161 Su Gongzi

  Shen Mingjiao scooped up water with a wooden spoon and washed her face casually, then said to Cuihua who brought out two sacks from the house with her bare hands: "Can I go together?"

   Cuihua nodded: "Okay! The Daji on our inner island is very lively."

  Shen Mingjiao nodded, she would naturally go, first to see the world, and second to find a way to get out of the island.

  The gray-haired old lady Wu came out, and said with a smile: "Let Ruhua go with her."

   After finishing speaking, she shouted into the room: "Ruhua, get up quickly, the sun is already high, and you are still sleeping! You are so lazy, how can you support the family in the future?"

  Shen Mingjiao on the side tried hard to hold the corners of her mouth. For some reason, every time she heard the name Ruhua, she felt inexplicably wanting to laugh.

  The door opened, and a tall, handsome woman came out with her eyes rubbed. She complained dissatisfiedly:

   "Grandma, just two sacks of wheat, just let the elder sister go alone. Xiaojuan and I have made an appointment to go fishing."

  Old lady Wu stared: "Whatever it takes, just go if you are told."

  Ruhua's aggrieved flat mouth, coupled with her resolute and handsome face, is somewhat inconsistent.

  A man with a kerchief on his head came out of the kitchen, and said to them, "It's time to eat."

  He is the only man in the Wu family, and the uncle of Cuihua and Ruhua. In charge of housework such as washing and cooking,

  Several people came to the kitchen to sit down, and the head of the family, Mrs. Wu, started first.

  She pointed to a basket of big white steamed buns in the basket: "Is this the food made in the steamer that Miss Shen mentioned?"

  Uncle Wu nodded: "According to what Miss Shen said, put the wheat on a stone mill to grind it into powder, then knead it and steam it on a steamer. Mother, you can eat it, it's delicious."

  Old lady Wu took a bite and nodded involuntarily: "Miss Shen, I thank you on behalf of the people of Peach Blossom Island."

  Shen Mingjiao waved her hand indifferently: "Old lady, you are too polite, I am just here to satisfy my appetite."

  She really can't get used to the wheat that is boiled without shelling, and she doesn't know when she will find the way out, and she can't carry it on her shoulders, and she has no relatives, so she can't be expected to be supported by the people on the island!

   But if she offers something important to these people, that's another story.

  As early as more than 500 years ago, people studied the use of stone mills to grind wheat into flour, and thus derived a series of foods.

   From this, it can be inferred that these people on the island should have migrated here before that.

  After they finished their meal, Cuihua took two bags of wheat and went out of the house with Ruhua Shen Mingjiao.

  They live on the outskirts of a small island that is very close to the sea, and each house is separated by a certain distance.

  Shen Mingjiao looked at the tall figure who was walking like flying with two sacks on his back, and couldn't help speeding up her pace.

   But with her delicate and thin arms and legs, she naturally couldn't catch up.

  Meet Ruhua on the side. Puchi smiled: "Are all the women out there so weak?"

  Shen Ming gave her a tender look and said nothing, thinking to himself, can this be compared?

  In the past few days, she has fully seen the group of people on the island, especially the women, who are simply born with supernatural power.

  Feng Lisheng once said that Haitang is rare and powerful, but compared with these people, she is simply nothing.

  Ruhua saw that she was walking really slowly, so she came over and made a gesture to hug her up.

  Shen Mingjiao hurriedly took a step back, waving her hand to refuse.

  Ruhua frowned and looked at her puzzledly: "At your snail's speed, we won't be able to reach the inner island until dark."

  Shen Mingjiao pointed to her back: "Then carry me on your back."

  No way, there is no means of transportation here.

  But it was a bit strange for her to be held in that position by a woman who was taller and stronger than herself.

  Ruhua didn't care, she bent down cooperatively.

  The speed of the two people immediately increased,

   It’s actually quite a long way from here to the inner island, and it takes two hours for the two of them to get close.

  Shen Mingjiao lay on Ruhua's back, boredly looking at the rapidly passing scenery around her. She asked Ruhua:

   "You often go fishing at sea, have you encountered any passing ships?"

  Flowering air without taking a breath: "Yes, but very few, and all of them are far away."

  Shen Mingjiao breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have it, at least it's not completely isolated from the world. "Then no outsiders have entered your island these years?"

  Ru Hua asked: "Like you?"

  Shen Mingjiao nodded.

   "Besides you, there are only Mr. Su and his Tuyouping son."

  Shen Mingjiao: "Young Master Su? It's the one of your island owner...cough, male favorite."

  She wanted to talk about her husband, but realized that they didn't have the concept of husband and wife, so she changed the topic in time.

  Ruhua didn’t care about these things, and continued to speak enthusiastically: “Young Master Su came to our island three years ago, and Mr. Su’s situation is the same as yours. He was also tied to a small boat.

  At that time, our island owner happened to be out on patrol, and when he saw a drifting boat, he rescued people. It is said that Mr. Su was seriously injured at that time. The witch doctor said it was a miracle that he didn't die! "

  Shen Mingjiao also became a little interested: "Then your island owner fell in love with Mr. Su at first sight, and since then you can't help but love him, but it's a pity that the concubine has a lover and has no intentions."

  Ru Hua stared at her in surprise: "How do you know? Sister told you?"

  Shen Mingjiao slanders from the bottom of her heart, if something like this is said, the plot of this book is rotten, okay?

Ruhua curled her lips: "I don't know what the island owner thinks. Since Mr. Su came, the island owner dismissed all the men in the house. He guarded Mr. Su wholeheartedly. But Mr. Su didn't appreciate it, so he rushed to him with all his heart. On his oil bottle son."

  Ru Hua couldn't understand it at all, she thought women should enjoy the stars and the sea freely. How can you only guard one man?

  Shen Mingjiao: "Is Mr. Su very good-looking?"

  Ruhua nodded: "I've seen it once from a distance, and it looks really good-looking, but it's too cold, and those eyes always make people tremble when looking at people,"

  Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, why does she sound like a dangerous person?

   "This Mr. Su didn't think about leaving?"

  Ruhua asked in puzzlement: "The island owner treats him so well, why did he leave?"

  Shen Mingjiao: ...these are two different things, okay?

  She turned to ask: "Then besides Mr. Su, no one else has been here?"

  Ruhua shook her head: "I didn't know before, anyway, I haven't since I can remember."

  Shen Mingjiao was a little disappointed, how remote this place is, why no boat passed by for many years!

   After walking for more than half an hour, Shen Mingjiao was falling asleep. Cuihua called her: "Miss Shen, we're here."

  Shen Mingjiao raised her head, and there was actually a city wall standing in front of her. She blinked in disbelief, and found that it was indeed a city wall. It's just that compared with the city walls of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is too rough, and the two sides of the city gate are obviously asymmetrical in height.

  Shen Mingjiao's eyes flashed, usually building the city wall has only two functions. One is for the convenience of passage, and the second and most important is to defend against the invasion of foreign enemies.

   And there are only so few people on Peach Blossom Island, and their physiques are so strong, naturally there is no need to deliberately build a city gate. Then there is only defense left.

   That is to say, they are not completely reclusive.

  …
