Chapter 71 Zhu Si
It just rained last night, and today's weather is gray and it seems like it's going to rain again.

The tide is gradually rising, and if Zhu Li and the others want to turn around on the boat they are sailing over, they can immediately turn around and go back smoothly.

This marked ship is the private property of Tanah Lot Temple and currently belongs to Zhu Li, the Zhu Si.

This time they came to Death Island only because of Zhu Li's insistence.

Even though Zhu Li and the uncles tried their best to persuade Wen Xian to return to Sun Island with them, Wen Xian still refused.

However, although you don't go to Sun Island, you can exchange supplies.

So, after Wen Xian refused to go to Sun Island again, she tried: "You need charcoal, you can exchange it for something."

She didn't know if these people on Sun Island could burn charcoal. If they couldn't, it would be fine. But if they knew how, there would be no need to exchange with her.

Wen Xian felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she still didn't show it on her face. She just looked at them calmly, showing that she could change or not.

"Charcoal?" Zhu Li's eyes lit up, "You actually have charcoal?"

"Exchange, what do you want to exchange for?" The man wearing a straw hat standing at the end said, "Let's go to Zhu Qing on Sun Island. How much charcoal does the girl have? What do you want to exchange for?"

Zhu Qing and Zhu Li, Wen Xian was convinced that this person should be a member of Zhu Li's family.

She hadn't paid attention before, but now she looked over and saw that the man named Zhu Qing turned out to be a young man who looked about the same age as Zhu Li.

At this moment, Zhu Qing had taken the initiative to expose it and did not cover it up anymore.He walked forward from the way out, came face to face with Wen Xian, and bowed.

Wen Xian replied: "Unfortunately, the most abundant thing here is charcoal. You will probably not come back after you return to Sun Island. Let's talk about what you have to exchange first, and then I will decide how much to exchange."

She paused and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Charcoal is not produced on Sun Island?"

She actually saw joy and excitement in the eyes of this group of people.

Before Zhu Li could speak, Zhu Qing took the lead and said: "Charcoal is not produced on the island. If you need it, you have to go to a small town outside the island to buy it. The nearest town to Sun Island is a hundred miles away. The town is not big. Charcoal Demand exceeds supply.”

Therefore, when they sailed to purchase, no matter how early they went, they would not be able to purchase much.

The purchased charcoal will be given priority to Tanah Lot Temple, that is, used by Zhu Si, and the rest will be divided among the villagers.

Each family can’t get much, or even none at all.

Therefore, people freeze to death every year or are smoked to death by the smoke produced when burning firewood.

This year, because of the war, we can buy even less charcoal. Not to mention distributing it to the villagers, we can’t even supply the share of Tanah Lot Temple.

Now Zhu Si on the island is his sister. Although he has been raised in the Tanah Lot Temple since he was a child, they are both on the same island. He often goes to the Tanah Lot Temple to worship and secretly see his sister.

Therefore, he was familiar with this sister, doted on her, and was reluctant to let her suffer.

He was worried about where to buy some charcoal for Zhu Li to use. Wouldn't this be an unexpected gain?

Wen Xian said thoughtfully: "I have charcoal here, but it was left by my brother. I can weigh it a thousand pounds and give it to you."

The first time I burned charcoal, it was a test product, so I burned very little at once.But every time after that, a lot of it was burned, and one cellar was estimated to contain six to seven hundred kilograms.

If Zhu Qing could bring out quilts or something, she would have no problem giving Zhu Qing a thousand pounds.

The worst thing is, after changing it, they will just continue to burn it.

"One thousand catties!" Zhu Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned slightly to block Zhu Li's slightly gloomy eyes and said, "Girl, do you need some silver?"

Fortunately, he has the habit of carrying money and banknotes with him.He hoped that his family would start a business and be considered a wealthy family on the island with some assets.However, Wen Xian shook her head and said: "No silver, just exchange for things."

It's no use having money to buy anything on a deserted island.

Zhu Qing said: "Then you wait a moment, I will go and pack out the supplies in the ship first."

He turned around and led people back to the cabin. Even Zhu Li was pulled back, leaving Wen Xian and Sheng Lian'er looking at each other in shock.

Sheng Lian'er scratched her head and said, "Madam, shall we wait here?"

Who knows if this group of people really wants to exchange supplies, or if they want to go back and get weapons to rob.

Wen Xian said angrily: "Otherwise, we can't follow others to the cabin. Don't worry, they won't do anything."

People with faith usually pay attention to cause and effect and value integrity.

Although Zhu Qing doesn't seem to be someone to be trifled with, with Zhu Li and Zhu Si here, I think there won't be any accidents.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Qing led people to bring two rattan baskets and a bunch of things up.

Without waiting for him to say hello, Wen Xian walked over and stood under the boat to watch them count.

Even Sheng Lian'er couldn't help but feel jealous. What was in the rattan basket was cotton-padded clothes and quilts!
Wen Xian didn't expect that Zhu Qing was very careful. Knowing that they were prepared, he made a special trip to carry the supplies to the side of the ship without asking them to get on.

"Do these need to be replaced?" Wen Xian pointed at a pile of supplies on the ground.

In addition to cotton-padded clothes and quilts, there were also pots and pans in this mess.There were also several half-filled cloth bags that looked like they might be grain.

Her heart started to heat up, she was probably the worst person to travel through time.I haven’t had a serious meal of rice since I traveled through time.

As expected, Zhu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, if the girl is willing, you can change these."

He paused and explained: "These clothes are prepared for the maids. There are a total of six sets of cloth clothes, six sets of cotton clothes, six pairs of cotton shoes and six quilts. Although they are not brand new, they have all been washed. If it is a girl If you don’t dislike it, you can change it.”

They have always been generous in preparing supplies for the Tanah Lot Temple. These are just for spare use on the ship. It doesn't matter if they are exchanged.

In fact, there were a few sets that were to be changed in the past two days, but he couldn't let the maid take them out.

Of course, even if the maid was willing, he couldn't give the used things to Wen Xian.

Wen Xian nodded slightly and said, "What about the others?"

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to introduce: "There are also these pots and pans, as well as half a bag of brown rice, half a bag of polished rice, half a bag of flour and a bag of dried fish."

In order to collect the value of one thousand kilograms of charcoal, he and Zhu Li plundered everything they could on the ship, leaving only dry food for the return journey.

Zhu Si's duty is also to protect the Sun Island. Now that there is an opportunity to exchange for charcoal, no one will object to taking out these Tanah Lot Temple-specific clothes in exchange.

If the villagers on the island knew about it, they would only respect Zhu Li even more.

Wen Xian pondered for a moment and said: "Even if I take all these materials away, if I exchange them at a high price, I can only exchange them for five or six hundred kilograms of charcoal at most."

As soon as she said these words, Sheng Lian'er behind her felt anxious.I wish I could change it right away, even if I add another thousand pounds.

The worst she could do was cut down more trees and burn more charcoal.It's better than risking your life to go to Wolf Mountain just to find the illusory cotton.
