Chapter 551, Section 552: The Fishing Village
Bai Suihe was completely unaware of the Gu family's schemes. At this moment, she was enjoying the scenery along the way. Granny Pang had brought Gu Xingyang to sit in the carriage behind, while Gu Kaiyuan rode alongside on horseback outside. The two maids also stayed quietly in the corner. This moment was exceptionally peaceful.

They set off early in the morning, when the temperature felt most comfortable. Once the sun was high in the sky, even if Bai Suihe had the best mood, she would have to stay obediently inside the carriage.

Gu Kaiyuan chose an excellent location for the shipyard, but it was also quite far away. The carriage traveled for three days on the official road before finally arriving.
Looking at this small fishing village hidden in a remote corner, you probably wouldn't be able to find it without someone leading the way.

The stone houses that originally belonged to the villagers have now become the new homes of those craftsmen.

The carriage stopped in a small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was relatively tidy. Gu Kaiyuan explained, "This is a place I specially kept for my own use. It used to be the village chief's residence. See if there is anything else you need to add, and then tell them to do it."

However, this place is a bit far from the county seat, so I'll probably have to wait until the day after tomorrow to buy everything.

Bai Suihe went inside and took a look around. This small farmhouse seemed to have been a thriving place in the past, with ten rooms.

The house had clearly been renovated again, and there were no traces of previous life there. The only remaining items were some of Gu Kaiyuan's personal belongings from when he came over.

There are quite a few of them this time, so they can stay here.

"This is already pretty good," Bai Suihe said without complaining. The conditions in the countryside are already quite good.

Moreover, this house has a very special feature: standing outside the courtyard, you can see the boundless sea not far away, with waves crashing against the rocks, giving Bai Suihe a feeling of being in a dream.

"Let's rest for a bit. When it's a little cooler later, I'll take you to the shipyard," Gu Kaiyuan said. "I know you like beachcombing, so I'll ask about the recent tide times and have someone take you there."

As soon as Bai Suihe arrived, she appeared exceptionally serene, as if all her troubles had vanished.

And this time, they were staying in a room with an absolutely stunning ocean view, so you can imagine how excited they were.

He smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, I know you're busy. If you want to go to the shipyard first, then go ahead and get busy. Let me stay here and enjoy the sea breeze."

Gu Kaiyuan had barely entered the village when several stewards arrived, and they were already standing outside the courtyard waiting. It seemed there were many things waiting to be dealt with.

Bai Suihe was also curious about the shipyard and wanted to know how far things were going, but she knew there was no rush. Gu Kaiyuan had been handling everything, and if she got involved now, it would only cause more trouble.

Gu Xingyang was also very happy to see the sea in front of her, waving her hands and wanting to rush straight over.

Granny Pang hugged her tightly helplessly, "My little darling, I know you want to go play, but there's no need to rush it."

The waves are so big now, even if you want to go down, you'll have to wait until the waves calm down or the tide goes out.

Arriving here, Granny Pang felt relaxed. She had seen the sea before, but her state of mind was completely different now.

They walked around the house, admired the sea view, and then started tidying up the house!
After all, they'll be living here for a long time, so they should do whatever makes them comfortable.

Just as everything was tidied up, several women came in carrying baskets of seafood. According to them, they were the families of the craftsmen. Hearing that their master had arrived, they specially brought their catch from the beach to add some dishes for their master.

Bai Suihe thanked them repeatedly and gave them pastries she had brought as a return gift.

With so much seafood, Bai Suihe simply led her two maids to sort it all out.

The crabs and conch will be steamed later. There are also a few sea fish weighing two or three pounds, which Bai Suihe will pick out to make fish soup or braise. Just as they were preparing, Gu Kaiyuan returned, but his face was somewhat gloomy.

Bai Suihe knew something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

Gu Kaiyuan knew that this matter could not be hidden at all, so he said, "A few days ago, a village was completely looted by those Japanese pirates."

"Is it far?" Bai Suihe asked with some concern, since they had only brought a limited number of people with them this time, and only Gu Kaiyuan, Lin Hua, and Lin Wei knew how to fight.

Oh, and there's Granny Pang and their self-defense medicine.

“It’s only a dozen or so miles from here,” Gu Kaiyuan said with a heavy expression. “They just sent the letter out yesterday. Luckily we came.”

Bai Suihe sensed something was off. "This timing isn't right either. Didn't you guys say they usually don't land until after October? Why are they here so early this time?"

Gu Kaiyuan wasn't sure either. "There might be some unforeseen circumstances. But since we're here, we certainly won't let this area go. Our village will probably be targeted as well, so we need to make preparations first."

"I didn't report it to the authorities."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "I've already reported it to the authorities, but the place I chose is rather remote. If the officials don't have enough manpower, they probably won't be able to take care of this place."

What we need to do now is find a way to save ourselves. That village was completely looted, with no survivors, and we don't even know how many people the other side has.”

Gu Kaiyuan said with some worry, "Why don't you take the child and go to the city first? You can come over after I've calmed things down here."

Bai Suihe, however, did not back down at all. "I won't go. Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

"If those people dare to lay a hand on me, they'll have to see if they're lucky enough to have a life."

As Bai Suihe spoke, she couldn't help but recall the humiliation of the past century. Although they were not from the same plane, they were from the same race. Bai Suihe felt that even if she bore the sins of killing such despicable people, it was nothing.

Moreover, Bai Suihe was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she wouldn't have another chance like this.

She has absolutely no qualms about using these people to test the drugs; she might even feel that the dosage isn't strong enough...

Shaking off those wicked thoughts, Bai Suihe added, "Who knows where they'll go next? Instead of worrying about each other like this, it's better for the family to stay together so at least there's someone to take care of each other."

You know I've been dispensing quite a lot of medicine lately. If possible, please spare a few survivors so I can properly test them out.

Gu Kaiyuan stared at her intently. "I'll do these things. Don't let them dirty your hands."

"Don't worry, most of my medicines won't kill people; at most, they'll make them wish they were dead."

The people of this Rong Dynasty are our compatriots. Since they have harmed our people, they must pay the price.

As Bai Suihe spoke, she became somewhat excited for some reason, and now she was looking forward to those people coming over soon.

After watching Unit 731, I wasn't horrified, but I felt the despair and pain. So history will not change, and national humiliation will not be forgotten.
