The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 198 - 198 198 Come Catch Me

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Come Catch Me Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Come Catch Me “I have a matter to discuss.”

Ya Molian said these words indifferently.

“Speak! What matter?”

Grinding her teeth, Lin Caisang looked at him with a momentum, as if she was about to turn her face if he didn’t engage her with something big.

Although they were in a village and not to be compared with the rooms of young women in large families, she was a female right? Or could it be that Ya Molian did not regard her as a woman?

However, at her age, she was just a young girl and still quite far from being regarded as a ‘woman’.

“Have you heard of Wang Town, to the east of Qianlin County?”

Ya Molian slowly walked to the table and only asked her after he had sat down.

“Wang Town?”

Lin Caisang furrowed her brows and walked to his side, sitting down.

“The Wang Town you just mentioned, isn’t it the one that makes a living by raising silkworms?”

Wang Town is known for silkworm farming. The brocade made from their silken threads is a tribute to the Liang Kingdom. Many wealthy families fantasized about acquiring a silk handkerchief from there, but such desires were futile.

“Hmm.”

Ya Molian nodded.

“You didn’t particularly come through the window to tell me that you want to go to Wang Town to purchase brocade, did you?” Lin Caisang queried.

Could one buy Wang Town’s brocade just by wishing for it? Unless the two of them became thieves and stole the brocade!

However, what use would stolen goods be? If it were worn, wouldn’t it just say: Catch me, I stole the tribute, I’m right here waiting for you to apprehend me!

“Of course not.” Ya Molian shook his head.

“Then what do you want to say?” She asked.

“Recently, a strange incident has occurred in Wang Town. Overnight, all the mature silkworms about to form cocoons were frozen into ice bars. Furthermore, the newly bred ones, just hatched out of their eggs, were also frozen to death.”

Ya Molian recounted.

“Ah? Can something like this occur? It’s not even that cold right now.” Hearing his words, Lin Caisang’s mouth slightly opened in shock.

“Whether it’s cold or not is secondary. Every family that raises silkworms would light charcoal in the worm room and ventilate it to ensure the silkworms would not freeze. This freezing overnight, it’s a first.”

Ya Molian gently tapped the table, and relayed it word by word.

“Then what?”

Lin Caisang, looking puzzled at him, asked.

Although she was a capable physician, these silkworms… she wasn’t a vet!

Besides, being frozen to death is not really a disease, is it? These creatures needed to be in harmony with the heavens, the earth, and humans. What could she do? Could she negotiate with the heavens? She wasn’t capable of that.

“This matter has something to do with you?” She asked.

“Hmm, how do I say this, one-third of the brocade sent from Wang Town to Jian’an is mine,” Ya Molian said.

“Tsk, Brother Molian, I didn’t expect you to be so rich!” Lin Caisang was astonished by his words and couldn’t help but marvel.

She heard that everyone in Wang Town, those who raised silkworms for a living, were wealthy families. Therefore, if one-third belonged to him, that was a considerable fortune.

Who would have thought, a man as wealthy as him, would instead live in Ya Village, going into the mountains to collect cubilose in the rainy season, and hunting on a daily basis.

Was there some sort of compelling hardship forcing him?

“Hmm, it’s not bad.”

Ya Molian nodded and looked solemnly at Lin Caisang.

“Little Sang, now that you know I’m so rich, would you consider offering yourself to me, hmm?”

Lin Caisang:”…”

She glanced up at him, showing her displeasure. Seriously, just because he had some money, he thought she would offer herself to him?
