Some fishermen knelt down excitedly to thank Mo Beihan and his group of more than a dozen dignitaries from the capital, and others also knelt down.

For a while, the beach was full of people kneeling on their knees.

Mu Er and the others quickly stepped forward to help the elderly people in front of them, and asked others to get up as well.

But everyone still kowtowed and expressed their gratitude before standing up.

Some people cried bitterly, missing their murdered relatives, and some people cried with joy, grateful to these benefactors who came all the way from the capital to help them eliminate the Japanese bandits.

Mo Beihan asked Liu Wenwen to return all the seized food and property to the villagers.

Some of these things were brought by Japanese bandits from the Japanese country, as well as property robbed at sea. Liu Wenwen was also asked to distribute them to the villagers whose families were ruined by the Japanese bandits, making everyone even more grateful.

The mother and son in the rice shop did not leave the town. This time they were given ten bags of grain and thirty-five taels of silver. At first, the Japanese bandits plundered more than a dozen bags of grain and more than twenty taels of silver from the rice shop.

It's just that her doctor died and her backbone was gone, so the ten taels of silver were regarded as condolence money.

The woman held a white silver ingot in her hand. Thinking of her husband who died tragically, she couldn't stop crying.

But she suppressed her sadness and took out two silver ingots worth ten taels to return to Qiao Ran.

"Miss Qiao, thank you for your kindness! You are really a great benefactor to my family and our town! Now the money that was robbed from my family has been returned. These twenty taels were given to me by you. I can't take them. Please take them back. !”

Qiao Ran pushed her hand back: "Aunt, please keep this money! You have two children, and your life will probably be more difficult in the future. I will give you this money. I hope you and the children will live well in the future." Go down."

"No, my family already has money. I will continue to open a rice shop with my children in the future. I can support them. You are our great benefactor. I can't ask for your money. Please take it back!"

The two of them pushed each other, but Qiao Ran refused to take back the twenty taels of silver.

The woman could only accept the money with tears in her eyes, carry the small one on her back, hold the older one in hand, and go back with her two children, silently grateful in her heart.

The three- or four-year-old boy turned around in three steps and looked at the fairy-like sister with admiring eyes. The little boy had a big ideal in his heart.

I can finally go fishing!

Even though it was already afternoon, the fishermen couldn't wait to get on their fishing boats to catch some seafood to entertain the nobles from the capital!

Women and children also took advantage of the low tide to pick up crabs, oysters, sea cucumbers, starfish, conches, etc. on the beach.

The children finally no longer have to worry about being confined at home. The younger children are running on the beach like monkeys just released from the cage, chasing and playing, while the older children are chasing the sea with the adults.

Qiao Ran was also very interested in catching the sea and happily joined the army.

She rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves, carrying a small wooden bucket in her left hand and a small shovel in her right hand, catching crabs, digging razor clams, picking conches and sea cucumbers... and had a great time.

The children all liked Sister Qiao who saved their entire town. Many children gathered around her and taught her how to find the seafood. They also poured the crabs, conchs, etc. they caught into her bucket.

There were also children who picked up beautiful seashells and conch shells and presented them to Sister Qiao as if they were treasures to give to her as gifts. After receiving a compliment from Sister Qiao, these children were as happy as anything and jumped up and down. Go on treasure hunting.

The adults watched the scene and smiled happily, and some encouraged their children to get more seafood and pick up more beautiful shells to give to their sister Qiao.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the brilliant sunset fills the sky. The seaside is bustling with activity, and the desolate and desolate scene before yesterday can no longer be seen.

Mo Beihan stood on the beach, looking at the girl who was smiling like a child in the glow. A slight smile appeared on his face involuntarily. There was a soft warmth in the corners of his brows and eyes. He was no longer that repulsive person. In the cold indifference thousands of miles away.

A child ran past him and knew that this benefactor was also from the capital, so he stretched out his little hand, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and led him forward:

"Brother, come and catch the sea with us! It's so fun! I'll take you to Sister Qiao's place!"

This was the first time that Mo Beihan was so close to a strange child. He instinctively resisted and was about to reach out and knock off the little hand that grabbed the hem of his clothes.

But when he heard the words "Sister Qiao", he couldn't help but let go of his hand and let the five or six-year-old boy drag him into the water and walk to Qiao Ran's side.

"Why are you here too?"

Qiao Ran looked at the prince in surprise, who never liked to get close to others, and he didn't seem to be able to do such things as traveling to sea.

Mo Beihan raised his eyebrows: "Why, you're not welcome? You can come, why can't I?"

Qiao Ran shrugged: "It's nothing, I just don't think you are the kind of person who would like to do this kind of thing."

"I just don't think I've ever done it before. It looks fun. Let's go together! Let me see what's in your bucket?"

He stretched his head to look at Qiao Ran's small wooden barrel and saw several kinds of seafood in it.

"Wait, I'll help you pick it up!"

He took out a dagger from his body, walked to a stone, and pried up the oyster on the stone.

"You're quite skilled. Did you cross the sea?"

"No, I saw others doing it when I came here last time. We also tried to find some seafood to eat when we were on Fire Island. But we didn't prepare seasonings at that time, and everything we ate was boiled directly. At that time, I I'm thinking, if only you and your mother were here, you would definitely be able to make these seafood more delicious."

Qiao Ran looked at him with a smile: "You are quite knowledgeable! You know that the food my mother and others cook is delicious, right? However, these seafood really need to be authentic to be delicious. I will go back later and let you try it. My craft.”

Mo Beihan's eyes suddenly shone and he nodded: "Okay, what an honor! I should be the first person in the capital to taste Miss Qiao's craftsmanship, right?"

Mo Beihan knew that the Qiao family pampered Qiao Ran as if they were their darlings. Girls from other families had to help with cooking, weeding, pig weeding, etc. I have never cooked before.

However, during the escape, Zheng Huiniang, Lin Guizhen and Mrs. Qiao were always cooking the meals for the Qiao family. Mo Beihan had never seen Qiao Ran cooking.

Even things like chopping firewood and making fire were done by Qiao Erhe, the brothers and Qiao Dong Qiao Nan. They pushed Qiao Ran away even if she wanted to do it.

Perhaps, even the Qiao family has not eaten the food cooked by Miss Qiao, right?

Maybe I will be the first lucky person in Dai Viet to taste Miss Qiao’s cooking!

Mo Beihan thought happily.

Qiao Ran saw him standing there in a daze and smiling stupidly. She glanced at him in surprise, then walked aside with the bucket.

In the evening of that day, when the fishermen came back, many people brought their own fish, shrimps, crabs, oysters, sea cucumbers and other seafood to the mayor's house, and left without saying a word.

The yard of the mayor's house was filled with all kinds of seafood, which made Liu Wenwen dumbfounded and quickly ordered the kitchen to cook more delicious food.

Qiao Ran also personally selected some ingredients, borrowed the small kitchen in the main courtyard, and cooked some delicious seafood for herself, Mo Beihan, Mu Er and others, which Mu Er and others were full of praise for.

Mo Beihan also felt that the seafood cooked by Miss Qiao, although the ingredients were the same, was much more delicious than what others and they had cooked. He didn't know if it was because of his mood.
