Chapter 243 A plan within a plan within a plan
Yan Chaoyue saw the poisonous insect that Jiang Lili sent over:
[Isn't this the tiger beetle commonly found in poison? When I heard the people in the canyon were called high priests, I was quite nervous, thinking that their methods must be very clever.]
After a while, Yan Chaoyue sent the method of detoxification to Jiang Lili.
It is not difficult to remove the poison. Taking a bath with herbs made from evening primrose, anthelmintic vine and meditation lotus can drive out the poisonous worms in the body. These herbs are available at Grandma Zheng in the village.
If you feed the poisonous insect with dew from a full-moon night and carry it with you, the person who has put the poison on them will not notice anything unusual.
Jiang Lili suddenly remembered something: "So are there any hawksbill turtles and small sharks on your ship?"
Chen Huzhang looked embarrassed and said, "No, I just wanted to trick you into going to the boat to have a look."
He said with an embarrassed look on his face: "But you have to collect the goods and settle the bill. Have someone move the goods off the ship. Otherwise, if you keep dragging it on, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the high priest and others."
Jiang Lili suspected that when Fei Di urged her to have people get on board to move the fish, that was when these people took action.
"Well, I'll think of a way to stop it."
Jiang Lili briefly explained the method of removing the poison to Chen Huzhang and said, "There is no time to lose. I will help you remove the poison now!"
"Brother Xing, please go find Granny Zheng from the village and get these herbs."
She handed the note to a member of Xin's army named Xing Rui.
And another person took the initiative and said, "Princess, I will go prepare bath water for him and collect dew."
Today is the night of the full moon.
Xing Rui bowed to Jiang Lili and said, "Leave this to us. Princess, go and have a rest, or the prince will be worried."
"Okay, hard work."
Jiang Lili was somewhat flattered by the kindness shown to her by the Xin family army.
She originally thought that it would take some time to get familiar with the Xin family army, but she didn't expect that they would be extremely respectful to her as soon as they met.
After Yan Chaoyue knew Jiang Lili's thoughts, he immediately said: "That's all my credit! I said I asked you to save them, and they already regarded you as their savior!"
After a while, Yan Chaoyue added: [Well, remember to say good things about me in front of your brother-in-law, oh no, Xin Che! I'm very nice to Xin Ningyu now, I'm just short of letting her sit on my throne. ]
Jiang Lili saw the little thoughts revealed between the lines of Yan Chaoyue's words and replied with a squinting smiley emoticon: [I know, I know! Brother-in-law! ]
After Jiang Lili sent this message, Master Yan stopped replying. I don't know if he was shy.
Tsk tsk, just like a little girl.
Jiang Lili guessed that Yan Chaoyue and Xin Ningyu's daily relationship was probably the opposite of that of ordinary young couples.
In this way, three days passed in peace.
The villagers of Yeli Village and the fishermen have become familiar with each other and have begun to call each other brothers.
In the evening of that day, Fei Di said to Jiang Lili, "Miss Jiang, we are leaving tomorrow. You should take people to the ship to pick up the goods today, otherwise it will be too late tomorrow morning."
Jiang Lili guessed in her heart that as expected, the navy of the Mi Kingdom would reach the south coast of Haizhou Island tonight or tomorrow!
She quickly sent a message in the group to inform Guan Yue and Wen Qiao.
Facing Fei Di's urging her to get on board and move the goods, Jiang Lili responded with a smile: "Captain Fei, my husband and most of the villagers have gone into the mountains. There are not enough people. I can't move the fish. Please move the fish off the boat."
"Today's dinner is my reward for your hard work. You don't have to pay money or use goods to pay for it."
Jiang Lili pointed to the wooden barrel that she and Yin Zhen and other women and old people from the village had brought over. The barrel was filled with seaweed rice balls, which were fragrant and fresh.
"This……"
Jiang Lili's move of taking the initiative caught Fei Di off guard.
He glanced at the seventy-odd people on the shore and regretted bringing so many people here in the first place.
But if all these people were put on the boat and squeezed together with the people on board, it would not be feasible.
"Well, I'll have someone take it off the boat."
Fei Di suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, please point out a place. We brothers need to repair the boat now and don't have time. We will deliver the goods to you overnight so that Miss Jiang and us don't have to worry about anything."
Jiang Lili pointed to the shore and said, "There is a fish pond less than half a mile west of the dock. You can just put the fish in the pond."
"A fish pond? This is the first time I've heard of it."
Jiang Lili explained: "It is a puddle that we discovered by accident in our village. The water is cooler than the sea water in other places on the shore."
"Putting the fish brought back from the coast into this pond will allow the fish to survive for several days."
But in reality, the water in the fish pond is cold seawater with a temperature of 0 to -1 degrees Celsius.
Deep in the fish pond, there is a refrigeration equipment sent by Xiaopang. It uses a diesel generator to generate electricity and uses low temperature and water flow to continuously wash the fish bodies, eliminate bacteria and keep the fish fresh.
In ancient times, storage conditions were limited. Fishermen on the coast would smear tea foam on the fish's mouth after catching fish in the open sea, and then wrap the fish's eyes and body with soaked paper in several layers to prevent damage to the fish scales, and finally put them into wooden boxes;
Alternatively, you can use the bow fish technique, where you make a small hole on one side of the fish's mouth, pass a rope through it and tie it tightly, then use the other end of the rope to tie the fish's tail to make the fish's body into a bow shape.
This allows one side of the fish's gills to open and expose to the air for oxygen exchange, keeping the fish alive. The bowfish technique can allow fish to survive for two days or even longer out of water.
It was the first time that Fei Di heard of this magical fish pond.
After hearing Jiang Lili say that this fish pond can keep live fish for several days, he thought that he really chose the right place. This Haizhou Island is full of treasures.
"Okay, then I would like to thank Miss Jiang for her hospitality."
After dinner, Jiang Lili returned to the cabin at the foot of the mountain.
Mrs. Yang, her brothers and sisters, and their children were all moved to the mountain. Now she was the only one left in the cabin with a small handheld electric saw, a fire pole, a stun gun, and other weapons...
Xin's army was hiding in the big wooden barrel at the door of the house, and there were people hiding in the woodshed and the cowshed.
At night, Jiang Lili drank a cup of coffee fed by Xiaopang and lay on the bed for a nap.
She closed her eyes and didn't know how long it had been before she heard a commotion outside the house.
A moment later, the voice of Xing Rui from the Xin Family Army rang out: "Princess, there are two of us. They have been tied up. You can sleep peacefully."
"We continue our night watch."
"Okay." Jiang Lili looked at the stuff she had prepared and thought that it might not be useful tonight.
Xing Rui took the order and went down, but a moment later, she suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing outside the window!
Outside the house, Xing Rui warned Xin's army: "Don't let them get close to the house!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Lili was worried and poked a small hole in the window paper.
