On the road to Taoyuan Village
Having left the cedar tree's house, Adelaide's business for the day was finished, and she prepared to head back.
But Carly behind her kept laughing. "Carly, how long have you been laughing? Take a break."
It wasn't that Carly didn't want to rest; she simply couldn't resist. Last time, Lord Eddard said that being stung by a bee would turn you into a pig's head, but she didn't understand what that meant at the time.
It wasn't until she saw Elmwood Grubber today that she finally understood what Lord Ed meant.
It seems she needs to stay away from bees from now on. Otherwise, if she gets stung by a bee, her sister Adelaide will say it's only a little funny, when it actually is very funny.
"Sister Adelaide, I don't want to laugh either, but I just can't help it! I can't help but laugh just thinking about how blockhead he looks."
"Hehehe!" She laughed again as soon as she finished speaking.
Adelaide had been trying hard not to think about it, but now that Carly brought it up again, the image of Elmhead with a swollen eye resurfaced in her mind.
"Hahaha!" Oh well, she's letting loose too.
So the two of them laughed on the road for a while, until they were too tired to continue, and then they slowly stood up.
"Don't blame your sister Adelaide, Elmwood. Next time there's something good to eat, I'll save more for you." Adelaide could only pray for him in her heart.
After laughing, the two continued on their way, and Adelaide stopped when they passed the entrance to Peach Blossom Village.
"Carly, go and get that information about the pearl purchase request."
"Why? Sister Adelaide, we just posted this information." Carly looked at Adelaide with some confusion.
"I just thought about it, and it's still very dangerous to go into the water. I'm worried that some children might go to the river near the village to look for river clams."
The honey incident had already served as a reminder to Adelaide. She decided to go back and talk to her owner again, reminding them not to let the children go into the river.
So the honey purchase notice paper, which had just gained companionship, is now all alone again.
Back at the castle, they found people already waiting for them outside.
"Miss Adelaide, here is the honey you requested." It was Will's sister who spoke. She was waiting for Adelaide outside the castle with a jar of honey.
"Sister Will, so you're the one who found the honey!" Adelaide didn't know Sister Will's name. In fact, no one else in the territory knew either. Perhaps Sister Will didn't even have a name.
Therefore, Adelaide can only call Will "sister".
"No, it was my husband who picked them. I came to get them for him so we could trade them with you."
Sister Will smiled, because this jar of honey was worth at least fifty copper dragon coins. Now she no longer complained about her husband's lack of diligence.
I just sold four oak stools and earned over two hundred copper dragon coins. Now I've found a jar of honey, which will earn me another fifty copper dragon coins. I'm already better off than many people in the territory.
"Hmm, let me see." Adelaide took the honey jar from Will's hand.
She dipped her finger in her mouth and said, "Mmm, very good, just what I need."
Adelaide gave Will's sister fifty bronze dragon coins.
"Sister Will, I also wanted to ask, is this honey very hard to find?"
Sister Will, holding a small bag of bronze dragon coins, explained with a broad smile:
"Miss Adelaide, that's right. Everyone already knew about the message you sent, and everyone has been searching everywhere, but we haven't found it. My husband was just lucky; he found one near the windmill."
"Yes, thank you!" Adelaide expressed her gratitude.
"Miss Adelaide, please don't say that. I'll head back now." With that, Sister Will left.
"Hey? Sister Adelaide, look! Lord Ed has sneaked in."
Carly pointed to Ed, who had disappeared at the castle gate.
