Chapter 76 Solving the Timber Problem

"Yeah." Murong Li also came to help.

When the horses saw the water, they were not afraid of the two of them and drank it in big gulps.

While the horses were drinking water, Su Yue came to the field, pulled out all the vegetables planted there, and gave them to the horses to eat.

All the chopped vegetables were given to Murong Li, who was asked to feed the babies.

She took out wheat seeds and scattered them on the ground. When the wheat seedlings grew up, she used them to feed the horses. These horses would be of great use if they were fed well.

The two of them worked in the space until all the refugees outside had received their food, and then they left the space.

Murong left to do his own thing, but Su Yue rode a horse out of the city and went for a walk in the mountains.

The more than 5,000 soldiers recruited yesterday need to build barracks, which requires wood. Now there are not enough people, so Su Yue has to do this.

She has the tools and the space, which saves time and effort.

There is no need to mobilize a large number of troops.

Of those 5,000 people, some are escorting their families back home, some are helping the refugees, and it’s hard to tell how many are there.

With Su Yue's speed, she soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. She put the horse into the space and went straight up the mountain.

This mountain is very high, higher and steeper than the mountain in Hutouling, forming a natural barrier here.

The mountains on this continent have never been destroyed and most of them have maintained their original ecological state. This has led to the presence of wild beasts in the mountains, and even refugees dare not go into the mountains to take the risk of finding food.

Su Yue climbed to the middle of the mountain. Many trees on the mountain had already died. Seeing these high-quality woods, Su Yue took out an electric saw from the space and chose to saw those dead trees.

These trees were very large, and it took her more than ten minutes to cut down one tree. After she cut down one, she immediately put it into the space.

Su Yue chopped wood in the mountains for a whole day and returned home when it was almost dark. When he arrived at the city gate, it was already dark.

She looked around with her mental power and saw only Murong Li waiting for her at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate were all inside.

She simply threw the tree into the open space at the city gate, patted her head and left, leaving someone to deal with it tomorrow.

Murong Li walked towards her, took her hand, and asked distressedly, "Are you tired?"

Su Yue patted her waist: "Of course I'm tired."

She bent over and sawed all day long, and her waist and arms were sore and painful.

Murong Li put his arm around her waist, placed his palm on her back, and channeled some Qi into her: "I'll go with you tomorrow. The important matters have been dealt with, and the rest can be left to them."

It takes a lot of materials to build a military camp that can accommodate 5,000 people. Su Yue cut down hundreds of trees that day. She cut them all by herself, and it was unknown how long it would take.

Su Yue felt much better. She said, "Okay, we can call a few more people tomorrow."

Murong Li nodded, took her by the hand, entered the city and returned to the yamen.

When they woke up the next day, they saw a large pile of wood at the city gate for no apparent reason, but no one cared to take care of it.

General Yun immediately arranged to build a camp for the new recruits. There was no rush to train the new recruits, but the accommodation problem had to be solved first.

The old marquis found a few people in the city who knew how to find water sources, and sent them to every town to help find water sources.

Doctor Xie still brought a group of people to treat the refugees. Although some of them had left, some of them came from other places and stayed outside the city without household registration. They were settled in a concentrated area, and many of them were sick.

Doctor Xie has a compassionate heart. As a doctor, he hates to see patients who are sick but have no money to treat them. He will treat them no matter what.

The eldest lady brought her female relatives and bought cloth from the cloth shop in the city to make clothes and bedding for the 5,000 new soldiers.

There are quite a few female members of the family, and there are more than thirty of them, including the masters, maids and old women. If they are quick and efficient, they can get a lot of work done in a day.

Su Yue, Murong Li and Su Qiwen went up the mountain to cut down trees, while Su Qiming and Su Qicheng stayed behind to help the old marquis.

The three of them left the city and headed straight for the mountains.

When Murong Li and Su Qiwen saw the chainsaw cutting down the tree, they praised this magical thing highly.

Su Yue just smiled. She never explained to them the origin of these things.

She would not tell them her origins, just telling them her abilities was enough.

Moreover, Murong Li also knew the secret of her space.

By noon, the three of them had cut down almost a thousand logs, which was definitely a bit fast.

After lunch, the three of them continued.

By evening, there were about two thousand of them.

The three of them simply didn't go back at night. Su Qiwen was a trustworthy person, so Su Yue took the two of them into the space to rest for a night.

It was the first time for Su Qiwen to enter such a magical place. He opened his mouth and could not utter a word.

So this is my sister’s secret. It turns out that many things were taken out from here.

Su Qiwen walked around in the space and was surprised and happy to see that all the things from the Marquis' Mansion were piled up in the space.

In other words, after the emperor copied it, he only copied an empty shell.

Oh, he really admires his sister.

Su Qiwen laughed so hard that his mouth stretched back to his ears.

"Sister, yours is amazing! If Grandfather and the others knew that nothing in our mansion was lost, he would be so happy."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Don't let them know for now. Once everything is settled, everyone's belongings will be given to them."

"Well, I'll think of an excuse then. It's better not to let anyone else know about my sister's place." Su Qiwen said and glanced at Murong Li.

Murong Li patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I care about Yue'er more than you do. As long as I am here, she will be safe."

"I trust you for now." Su Qiwen still agreed with Murong Li's statement. After all, Su Qiwen still trusted him because of his character.

"Let's eat." Su Yue set the table and called the two of them. Seeing the two of them cross-eyed, she wanted to laugh.

Both of them were people she trusted, and they both still had to be warned.

Su Yue felt quite warm about Su Qiwen's actions. This sister-protecting man is always online.

After the three of them had their meal, they fed the horses in the space and roasted the meat for an hour before going to sleep.

But Su Qiwen did not sleep that night, and the next day he was chopping trees with red eyes and dozing off while chopping.

The three men spent three days chopping woods in the mountains and forests, and hunted some prey before returning.

They also returned under the cover of night. After Su Yue placed the wood at the city gate, Murong Li took the two of them and flew into the city.

After returning, he saw the old marquis sitting alone in the yamen in a depressed mood.

"Grandpa, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Su Qiwen asked.

When the old marquis saw the three of them coming back, the worry on his face disappeared and he said directly, "It's good that you're back. The water in the well is almost used up. If we can't find another source of water, we'll be out of water again."
