When Jiang Xiechuan came to find Jiang Muyan, she had just finished cleaning up the dishes.

Jiang Xiaobai was the first to notice Jiang Xiechuan's figure, and happily ran to him, wagging its tail like a rattle.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you haven't eaten at home all day. You're always coming over to freeload. Aren't you ashamed?!"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Muyan walked out of the kitchen.

Jiang Xiechuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Mu Yan, I'm sorry, this little thing keeps coming here."

Jiang Muyan smiled nonchalantly:

"It's okay, I like Jiang Xiaobai too!"

After spending the last two days with Jiang Xiaobai, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she was no longer allergic to small animals.

The little one's company seemed to be quietly making up for her previous regret of not being able to touch small animals.

Jiang Xiechuan smiled knowingly upon seeing this; he had long since realized that Jiang Muyan genuinely liked Jiang Xiaobai.

"Munyan, if you're free right now, how about I take you to see Uncle Wang about custom-made cabinets?"

"Okay, I happen to have some free time right now, let's go over there!" Jiang Muyan thought to herself, it wouldn't be too late to give Grandpa Qiao acupuncture after we get back from Grandpa Wang's house.

With that, she turned and locked the door before walking with Jiang Xiechuan toward the gate of the educated youth compound. Jiang Xiaobai ran back and forth in front of the two of them, stopping every now and then to look back, appearing extremely excited.

"This old man Wang has been a carpenter for most of his life. In our brigade, many families have their furniture made by him. Sometimes even people from other villages will come to him specifically to ask for his services."

"Moreover, his craftsmanship is exceptional; the things he makes are sturdy and durable!"

........

Along the way, Jiang Xiechuan kept introducing things to Jiang Muyan, and the two of them and the dog soon arrived at Old Man Wang's house.

As soon as Jiang Muyan entered the courtyard, she saw a pile of wood of various lengths at the entrance, with wood shavings scattered on the ground and a faint scent of pine in the air.

"Uncle Wang, are you home?"

Footsteps soon came from inside the house, and then an elderly man with a slightly hunched back came out.

"Jiang Qingqing, what brings you here today?"

Jiang Muyan glanced at the old man's face, her eyes flickering slightly. At that moment, Jiang Xiechuan stepped forward with a smile to greet him:

"Hello Mr. Wang, we'd like to take a look at the cabinets. Are you free now?"

"Yes, yes! What kind of cabinets do you want? I have some ready-made ones here, you can take a look first. If you have your own design, you can draw it out, and I can make it according to your requirements and dimensions." As he spoke, Old Wang led them to a side room.

"This room contains the cabinets I made before. Please take a look and see if there are any suitable ones," said Old Wang as he opened the door to the room.

Jiang Muyan looked at the wardrobes; they were all made of solid wood and looked sturdy and durable. She picked out a small one and asked:

"Uncle Wang, I'll choose this cabinet! How much is it?" I'll choose a smaller one so it won't take up too much space.

Old Wang stroked his gray beard and smiled as he quoted the price:

"This cabinet isn't big, and we used less material, so I'll just charge you five yuan!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Could you deliver this cabinet to the educated youth settlement?" Jiang Muyan said, taking out five yuan from her bag and handing it to Old Man Wang.

Old Wang took the money, carefully tucked it into the cloth bag in his pocket, and his smile became even more genuine:

"Yes, yes, yes, this cabinet is lightweight. My son is out, but I'll deliver it to you when he gets back!"

"Thank you so much! Just deliver it to the easternmost dormitory in the last row of houses in the youth settlement. If I'm not home, just leave the cabinet by the door!"

After explaining things to Old Man Wang, Jiang Muyan and Jiang Xiechuan had just left Old Man Wang's house when they saw a young man walk in.

The young man was Wang Daniu, the son of Old Wang. He was taken aback when he saw Jiang Muyan and the other man, then greeted Jiang Xiechuan with a smile: "Jiang Zhiqing, what brings you here?"

"Brother Wang, we've come to take a look at the wardrobe. We'll need your help to deliver it to the educated youth settlement later!" Jiang Xiechuan replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat a couple of bites of rice and then take it over!"

Jiang Muyan remained silent, simply observing Wang Daniu's face, her heart sinking slightly. She hadn't seen Wang Laobo's face clearly before, but now, looking at Wang Daniu's face, she could see it very clearly.

Before Jiang Xiechuan could say anything more, Jiang Muyan urged, "Jiang Xiechuan, I want to go to the river to see if there are any fish. Lead me there!"

Jiang Xiechuan paused for a moment, greeted Wang Daniu, and quickly followed Jiang Muyan:

"Muyan, are you craving fish? I'm telling you, there are fish in this river, but they're not easy to catch..."

Jiang Muyan stopped as soon as she stepped out of Old Man Wang's yard: "How many rivers are there in Wanshan Brigade?"

"There's only one, not far to the south!"

"South?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyan immediately started running. Jiang Xiaobai, thinking it was a game, eagerly followed behind Jiang Muyan.

"Hey, you want to eat fish, but there's no need to rush. I still have homemade fishhooks in my dorm. Maybe I should go back and get them!"

Jiang Xiechuan talked as he ran, but soon realized he couldn't keep up with Jiang Muyan's pace, so he simply stopped talking and focused all his energy on following behind.

Strange, this little girl looks like she's running quite easily, how come she's so fast?

Before she even reached the riverbank, Jiang Muyan heard urgent cries for help coming from the shore:

"Help! Help! A stone has fallen into the water!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyan quickened her pace. Jiang Xiechuan also faintly heard cries for help and quickened his pace as well.

As they approached the riverbank, Jiang Xiechuan saw Jiang Muyan about to jump into the water. He quickly shouted, "Muyan, I'll do it! I can swim!"

Jiang Muyan stopped what she was doing upon hearing the sound, and frowned as she looked at Jiang Xiechuan, who was running up to her breathlessly. "Are you tired? Do you still have any energy?"

"It's okay, I've only been running for a short time." With that, he quickly took off his shirt and shoes and jumped into the river with a "plop".

A middle-aged woman and a child were standing on the bank. Seeing Jiang Xiechuan jump into the water to rescue the child, the woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, the child is finally saved!"

She herself couldn't swim, and after hearing the child's cries for help, she could only stand on the shore and shout for help.

Jiang Xiaobai watched Jiang Xiechuan jump into the water, and it whimpered anxiously twice, wanting to jump in as well, but Jiang Muyan grabbed it by the scruff of its neck.

"Xiaobai, it's okay, don't go and cause trouble!"

At this moment, the little boy who had fallen into the water was gradually sinking. Jiang Muyan watched as Jiang Xiechuan caught the child in his arms, and the little guy had already closed his eyes limply.

Looking at the child's face, Jiang Muyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there's still hope! She had just noticed a black mist floating in the area of ​​Old Man Wang's children's palace from his face, but she could only see that his grandson would have an accident, without knowing what kind of accident he would suffer.

Later, she realized from Wang Daniu's face that the exact location was by the river!

Fortunately, there was only one river in Wanshan Brigade, and fortunately, she discovered it in time; otherwise, the child would have been beyond saving.
