Chapter 200 Is it true?

Everyone walked carefully, not daring to fall and delay.

The group soon arrived at their destination.

On days with heavy snow, the river surface has long been frozen into ice.

Su Chengnan stood there and looked around. Bingsan flew to the river in tacit understanding and soon shouted, "Miss, it's here!"

"Last time, we caught the fish right here! But..."

He paused for two seconds, stomped his feet hard on the ice, making two solid thuds. Other soldiers ran over and followed suit and stomped a few times.

The thickness of the ice is estimated to be nearly one meter, so it is safe for people to walk on it, but it is really difficult to catch fish.

"Oh my, the ice is too thick!"

“There’s no way to chisel this open!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Mutou snorted coldly and muttered, "I told you I shouldn't have come! It's so cold, and you're still thinking about ice fishing? After all, you're a rich girl, and you don't have any common sense at all."

When the people around him heard him complaining again, they quickly covered his mouth with their hands and dragged him away, saying to Su Chengnan with a smile: "Miss, we will help you dig it up. Don't worry, we have the tools!"

Others responded, fearing that she might be unhappy.

"Yeah, we brought tools."

"It will definitely be chiseled open, don't worry, Miss!"

Su Chengnan naturally knew that the river would freeze in this kind of weather, but she was not worried. There was boiling hot spring water in the space. She could pour it on the ice and then use other tools to break the ice easily!

However, she had to find a way to pour the hot spring water smoothly.

Well, special times call for special measures.

She lifted her legs and walked forward.

Seeing this, Qingshan quickly walked ahead of her and used a shovel to help her shovel away the snow and clear a path.

When they arrived at the river, Bingsan had already started digging a hole.

Su Chengnan curled his lips and took out a bag of gold ingots from his sleeve. When I set out from the farm before, I put all the gold, silver and treasures into the space and never had the chance to use them. It’s no big deal to take out a small bag now.

After all, when they set off, they still have to prepare enough food reserves. With so many people to feed, if they always rely on her and Su Linhua to deceive people by saying that there is food on the carriage, it will arouse suspicion after a long time.

Therefore, the issue of supply is imminent!

"Come, let me give you some bonuses! Even though the fish we caught are just a snack for the army camp and a food reserve, everyone is here with me to work hard, and I don't want to make you suffer! As long as anyone can break the ice and dig a hole today, I don't care how the army camp rewards you, I will give you an extra ten taels of silver!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to ask, "Are you serious, Miss?!"

"Of course I'm serious. I've got all the money ready." She held up the bulging purse. It was a really big bag.

Everyone's eyes lit up, even Li Mutou's eyes couldn't help but twinkle.

There's no way around it; they joined the army because their families were poor. Although there is food and drink in the military camp, it is just to survive. If you really want to live a good life, you still have to fight and make merit, and get promoted to make money!

They have had no place to spend money over the years, and they haven't saved any money either. Now Su Chengnan is offering ten taels? ! This made them dizzy and they started working immediately.

"Don't grab it! This is the shovel I brought!"

"What do you mean yours? This is obviously from the military camp."

"So what? It's in my hands now. Don't bother me. Here are ten taels of silver! My goodness, I'll have to save up for years to get this much."

A shovel is a productivity tool, but it is a rare item here and not everyone has one. So soon the situation became that several people gathered together and took turns wielding shovels to work. They agreed that the work would be divided equally among the team members.

But in this way, Li Mutou was left alone.

Everyone knew that he had just offended Su Chengnan, and they all thought that Su Chengnan would not give him a reward because he was dissatisfied with him, so it would be useless even if he successfully broke the ice.

"One, two, three! Hammer!"

"Hey, can you do this?!"

"Come on, let me do it. I'm stronger than you!"

…

The sounds came one after another, and the scene was very lively.

Li Mutou stood alone on the side, looking somewhat isolated and helpless. He seemed unwilling to accept the situation. After hesitating for a moment, he remained motionless.

Su Chengnan looked at him, then at the others, and understood clearly that no matter where they were, human nature was always so complicated...

In fact, she didn't have any special opinion of Li Mutou. She didn't care what Li Mutou thought at all, but he just stood there motionless, so she couldn't take any action!

no!

He had to join in and quickly look away.

She asked Bingsan to take the shovel in his hand and pass it to Li Mutou.

He was stunned.

Looks dull.

A hint of complexity flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his firmness: "Do you think I will be grateful to you for doing this? I tell you, I won't!"

Su Chengnan laughed in anger. She didn't care about Li Mutou's attitude: "It doesn't matter. If you want the ten taels of silver, do it quickly. Otherwise, they have occupied the places around here, and you will have to walk further."

Bingsan is a smart man. He can see that Su Chengnan doesn't want to bother with this person.

So he smiled and stuffed the shovel into Li Mutou's hand, and pushed him with a smile: "Okay, stop sticking!"

"I……"

"What do you mean?! Is there anyone who thinks the money is too much and doesn't want it? Stop talking nonsense! If you don't do anything, I will really go back and complain. Hurry up and obey my orders!"

Li Mutou was pushed to the riverside by Bingsan.

He took a deep breath, and finally swung the hammer!

Clang——

A loud noise was heard.

Everyone was stunned.

Su Chengnan couldn't help but widen his eyes and thought: Oh my god, this can't be such a coincidence? I just wanted to get him away, but I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful?

Li Mutou himself was also stunned. He fell into a crack in the ice and was splashed with icy water all over. It was really chilling.

But after he woke up, he felt his heart pounding again! Ten taels of silver, it seems like he earned a reward of ten taels of silver!

He cleared his throat and his expression became complicated, as if he was in deep hesitation and dilemma.

Su Chengnan saw his concerns. He must be thinking, he was blaming her for the sacrifice of his brother just now, but the next moment he was reaching out to take her reward?

Oh...it's so difficult.

Su Chengnan did not cause his brother to die innocently! It was obviously because his brother was ambitious and disobeyed orders that he was accidentally hit on the head by the fragments of the city wall blown up by a cannonball.

Not only could Sun Liangyuan testify to this incident, but Chen Hao was also there at the time. In fact, he really blamed the wrong person...

Suddenly, a voice interrupted their thoughts.

"ah!"

“Are there really fish?”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come quickly!"

…
