Chapter 144 The Future is Even Better
Uncle Cao watched as Shi Xia, the most disciplined one, walked away and nodded.

“That’s right, Shi Xia is a stickler for rules. She has to repeat it a few times and keep it in mind. That way, she can even talk in her sleep.”

Uncle Cao, who had successfully built himself up, left. Shi Xia returned to the cave and found the place where Grandpa Shi had stayed.

Very big.

Grandpa Shi's obsessive-compulsive disorder made him very uncomfortable here. Because of Shi Xia's presence, the villagers gave the best spot to Grandpa Shi and made sure that there was no other house more than two meters away from him.

Shi Xia is also willing to spoil Grandpa Shi.

She found some stones and had Grandpa Shi build a wall around them. All of the Shi family's belongings were inside, neatly organized and categorized.

When Shi Xia arrived at the stone, she ceremoniously tapped the stone.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Grandpa Shi turned around and his gaze fell on Shi Xia's shoes.

"I know, I'll just rub against you."

Shi Xia rubbed her shoes vigorously on the twig-woven shoe mat, and the dirt was finally cleaned up quite a bit.

"Give."

A small brush with a wooden handle was handed to her. Shi Xia took it skillfully, sat on the rock, and began to brush the soles of her shoes.

The route I take every day.

Finally, everything was clean. Grandpa Shi's furrowed brows relaxed, and he opened the door with the usual ceremony, letting Shi Xia in.

"Grandpa, what are we having for dinner?"

"bacon."

Grandpa Shi's hearing has improved somewhat, and when Shi Xia shouted loudly, he could vaguely hear her and respond.

Grandpa Xu's medical skills are indeed excellent.

In the evening, Shi Xia ate stir-fried salted pork with melon slices and stir-fried water spinach.

This batch of water spinach was newly planted by Shi Xia; the previous batch was all fed to Da Feng.

Although it was a bit of a pity, with the experience gained, it wouldn't be difficult to grow another batch, so Shi Xia didn't feel too upset.

After finishing her meal, Shi Xia chatted with her aunt next to her.

"I wonder how Cheng'an and the others are doing."

My aunt has been very worried these past few days. She knows that Wen Chengan has gone on a mission to participate in disaster relief and reconstruction.

"It's okay, I'll ask about it tomorrow."

"No need, just do your thing and ignore him."

Knowing that Shi Xia had important things to do, Shi Xia smiled generously and said, "It's nothing, I just miss Wen Cheng'an."

The person who spoke didn't blush, but the aunt blushed as she listened.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay."

The auntie, who had praised the woman six times, smiled secretly and knelt down in the middle of the night to thank the Sea Goddess for helping her foolish son find a good daughter-in-law.

The next morning, Shi Xia got up and set off with the packages that everyone had packed for her.

She took the small fishing boat from the three islands in the sea and went out under the pretext of fishing.

Apart from Uncle Cao and a few others, the villagers genuinely believed that Shi Xia had gone fishing.

Shi Xia sailed to Haiming Island first, but Wen Cheng'an did not return; he was still on a mission outside.

She left a note and then departed.

After boarding the ship, Shi Xia headed south.

The waterways near Southeast Asia are almost all connected, and she plans to take a stroll around.

On the small fishing boat, Shi Xia used her supernatural abilities to steer the boat, thinking carefree: "I wish I could run into some robbers."

Unfortunately, the wish was not fulfilled.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, Shi Xia stopped sailing.

She hid the boat near a deserted island, while she herself dived into the sea, ready to come ashore at any time.

There are patrols along the shore, but that's not difficult for her.

Little Eagle came along too.

The little eagle is now quite big, and with its excellent eyesight, it's very reliable for scouting Shi Xia.

The man and the eagle worked together seamlessly, successfully landing under the cover of darkness.

After getting ashore, Shi Xia painted her face black and pretended to be a mute beggar.

She was arrested that very night.

Without putting in any effort, the person was sold out. It just goes to show that chaos has its advantages; it means people are ruthless when they're in trouble.

Shi Xia was resold to a depraved place.

That same night, a brothel was raided by a "mute".

Over the next five days, four more locations were raided, thoroughly enraging some local "bosses".

Shi Xia was all alone. She was sold to wherever she was taken, and she did not follow any rules, causing chaos in the local area.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xia disguised herself and went to the MD mine with the money she had brought.

The mines here are auctioned off year-round.

Calling it a mountain isn't accurate; it's more like a mine shaft.

Nobody knows what's inside a rock, so buying ore is a huge gamble.

Shi Xia found a translator locally who spoke English and pretended to be a big shot from the US, wanting to spend money to buy a mine for fun.

On the night she participated in the bidding, three groups of people came to test her.

After that night, no one dared to underestimate this strangely dressed woman from Country M.

In this way, Shi Xia bought a mine without spending a penny of her own money and began mining and quarrying.

She was lucky enough to find a high-quality jadeite.

Shi Xia left with Jade without delaying for even a second.

No sooner had she left than several groups of people chased after her.

But all they could do was rant and rave.

Shi Xia's outburst this time has put the human trafficking industry on high alert.

Having completely let go of her inhibitions, Shi Xia has found her own boat and is happily heading to R Country again with Emerald.

R country has a fast economy, so she can definitely buy all the materials she needs there.

The most important issue right now is how to get her back.

The small boat definitely can't hold it all.

Shi Xia thought about the problem very seriously and finally decided to ask for help.

A day later, Shi Xia went ashore at the Mu Hai shore.

When Mu Hai saw Shi Xia, he thought he was dreaming.

"You—come back—how—?"

"Why are you back?"

"Doing business."

Shi Xia took a piece of jade from her waist and handed it to Mu Hai.

"Is it valuable?"

"value!"

"do you want?"

Mu Hai had so many questions, but in the end, they all boiled down to one word: Yes!

This thing is extremely popular right now; I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't make some money from it.

"This time I need cement and top-quality wood. Can you get them?"

"I don't know... even if I could get it, how would you take it back?"

Although Mu Hai didn't know exactly where Shi Xia lived, he knew she was Chinese.

"That's my problem to worry about. You just need to focus on doing your part well."

Mu Hai stopped asking.

Shi Xia gave him a lot of jade and many pearls, which Shi Xia had found on the way from the seabed.

Each one was top-notch; Mu Hai was thrilled just looking at them.

This batch of goods is enough to make him a fortune.

"Big Knife—you really aren't going to tell me your name? Does it sound nice for me to call you Big Knife?"

"It sounds nice, how could I not like my name?"

You really do live up to your persona!

"Alright, Comrade Big Knife, you should know that you're making a losing deal right now, right? These things will probably be valuable again in the future, although I don't know how long."

Shi Xia sat down nonchalantly and said quite frankly, "I know."

"But I don't need it now. Even if it becomes valuable in the future, so what? I have the ability to acquire it now, and I will have even more in the future."
