Li Ruo glanced at the brothers again. Some of them looked displeased, probably feeling that she shouldn't have taken so much, which was understandable.

She asked in a low voice, "So what did you tell them about these six boxes?"

Xie Xiao blinked. "Don't worry about that. I'm just worried about whether you can fit everything in that little house. Maybe—"

"Don't worry about that, I have my own way of doing it."

Xie Xiao seemed to choke for a moment, his tongue pressed against his cheek, "I guess I was being nosy."

But he quickly added with a smile, "Your suggestion is excellent. I plan to have someone pick up my mother and the others tomorrow."

Li Ruoxin thought, "This is none of my business. That's exactly what you did in the book. Good luck."

"Ha, good luck won't come so soon. I heard that the prefect is going to send troops to deal with me."

"Really? You're planning to hand me over?" He had seen her hurt Zhang Shu'er.

Xie Xiao narrowed his eyes and stared at her. "Am I such a disloyal person? This time I robbed the Prince of Runan's mansion. Just for that crime alone, he would mobilize the army."

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

This shows that men should not be cuckolded.

“You’re right.” Li Ruo nodded. There was no mention of her in the book, but Song Zhi did indeed intend to send troops.

Not to mention that Zhang Shu'er was seriously injured and fell into a coma this time, he must have thought it was Xie Xiao's doing, and he hated her even more.

Sigh, I feel a bit sorry for Boss Xie.

But he's the male lead—

"I'm going to strike first and rob the Beishan military camp of its food and weapons. Do you want to join in?" he said, leaning closer with great confidence.

But Li Ruo refused him, saying, "No, I have more important things to do."

Xie Xiao didn't press the issue. "Heh, when we come back, just don't be envious. I wish you a speedy completion of your house construction."

After saying that, he strode away with his head held high.

Li Ruo couldn't help but laugh and asked Master Liao to help carry the things into the tent. The master had many questions, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Have you joined Black Wind Stronghold?"

"Why join them?" Li Ruo said, "We'll do our own thing."

Master Liao then asked, "But if the flood is coming soon, wouldn't it be better for you to join them? They can protect you."

“I know what you’re worried about. Your cousin is about to give birth, your grandmother is old, and your brother is still young. No matter how capable I am as a woman, I’m all alone.”

Liao Fusheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I absolutely did not mean to underestimate you."

Li Ruo found the Taoist priest's appearance extremely adorable, raised her paw to pat his shoulder, and laughed, "Don't worry, once we've finished the generator tomorrow, you should understand where part of my confidence comes from."

Master Liao said nothing more, "Alright, get some rest." He left in a bit of a hurry.

After he left, Li Ruo put everything into her spatial storage.

Hehe, let's keep exchanging points.

"One coral tree, 20,000 points credited to your account."

"A pair of white jade lions, 200,000 points credited to your account."

Wow! A flurry of activity, and I've earned 250 points!

As expected of corrupt nobles, they have a lot of good stuff. The space has been upgraded five times, but strangely, the width of the space remains the width of a football field after the upgrade, and the height does not change. Only the length increases, so now it is almost impossible to see the end.

I wonder where the upgrades will end?

Besides, it seems pointless for her to have so much space; she doesn't have that much stuff to put in it.

But since upgrading won't deduct points, there's no point in not upgrading.

Fortunately, the system rewarded her with a super trash can for this four-level promotion.

This is such a thoughtful baby system! It even saves you the trouble of taking out the trash. It's a must-have for super lazy people!

Let's forgive its exploitation of itself for now.

system:……

Li Ruo, remembering that her sister-in-law was about to give birth, quickly made the purchase—

Eggs: 5,000 versions, using 50,000 points.

Brown sugar: 1,000 catties, used 5,000 points.

A batch of baby diapers, cotton towels for postpartum women, white gauze, etc.: 10,000 points were used.

Yes, buy more of all kinds of anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs; I've used up another 10,000 points.

Another batch of chicken, pig's trotters, and mutton was added, costing 100,000 points.

Adding vegetables and fruits cost 50,000 points.

A batch of cold-weather cotton-padded clothes: 50,000 points were used.

After buying the weapons, Li Ruo examined the box of swords and knives that Xie Xiao had sent. She realized that she didn't have any suitable weapons at the Prince of Runan's residence.

The weapon icons in the store are all locked and cannot be purchased. If Yangjiang Shibazi is considered a weapon, then there are quite a few.

Li Ruo tried several swords but was not satisfied. Suddenly, she found a small, exquisite hidden dart next to the box. It looked a bit out of place among the pile of rough, man-made weapons.

She tried it on her wrist, and wow, it was practically tailor-made for her. It could fire six small arrows in a row, with a fast speed and a range of about thirty meters, which was enough for her.

More than fifty small arrows were found at the bottom of the box. We were incredibly lucky, but we'll probably run out of them eventually…

Li Ruo quickly checked the shop and found that pig iron was available for sale; all she needed was a blacksmith and swordsmith.

She was so excited she couldn't sleep, but thinking about the workload tomorrow, she finally managed to get some sleep.

The next day, the weather turned gloomy, with not a breath of wind, and became stuffy and hot.

Li Ruo felt somewhat uneasy.

Because she vaguely remembered that the weather was like this a few days before the great flood. It started raining two days before the flood, first a light rain, then a strong wind, and then a downpour. This was one of the few warnings that God gave to the world.

No, I don't think so!
