Chapter 171 Kill and Eat You

Is Su Nuan the kind of person who accepts conditional threats? Of course not.

She spread her hands and said, "Any conditions? That's so troublesome, forget it."

Li Fengxing choked. This person who doesn't play by the rules is really... infuriating. He should at least ask what the conditions are.

He coughed dryly and said, "If two people work together and take on a business, who will make the final decision in the negotiation?"

Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Then it depends on how you two discuss the distribution of benefits when you work together."

"If you give him 30% and he 70%, it means he has invested more, so listen to him. Even if you make a wrong decision and lose, he will lose more."

Li Fengxing touched his chin, thought about this carefully, and felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Okay, I understand."

Su Nuan raised her eyebrows and knew it now. What did she know?

After Li Fengxing finished speaking, he continued to admire the wheelchair, his eyes flashing constantly, as if he had many strange ideas.

Su Nuan knew that his business nerves were touched, but she didn't bother to care.

Her eyes fell on the cave entrance. Those who had gone out came back one after another. After all, it was dark now and they couldn't find anything, so they had to come back first.

But you can see that their faces look much better, at least they are not so depressed anymore.

After everyone had a night's rest, the villagers couldn't wait to go out to look for food at dawn.

Su Nuan didn't plan to go out. Let these people experience life in the snow. She couldn't take the lead in everything herself.

Xue asked, "Can I go out?"

Su Nuan shook her head. "Don't go. The snow outside is big enough to bury several of you. If you step on something soft and sink into it, you won't be able to find yourself if the snow on top buries you."

Xue shuddered and shook her head, "No, no."

When they were bored, a few people started talking about what the house would look like in the future.

At night, people outside came back one after another, some were happy and some were worried.

Only those who really had no food would make an effort. They brought back wild grass roots and tree bark and enjoyed chewing them.

Some people who had surplus food returned empty-handed, and some returned crying, probably because their companions did not make it back.

Su Nuan looked at them and felt a strange feeling in her heart. You could say it was pity, but she didn't feel that sad.

You may say that I blame myself, but I am not their parents, nor their master, and I have no obligation to care about their life and death or their food and clothing.

At this moment, Su Nuan suddenly realized that people’s desire for power can really make their blood run cold.

Aren’t you just thinking of putting these people in desperate situations and then giving them hope?

While giving them hope, you also gain their loyalty, which means you hold power in your hands.

Su Nuan felt that she was not worthy of playing power games, and that her soft heart was her biggest shortcoming.

The space spirit sensed Su Nuan's mood and sent her a message, "Why? Do you feel sorry for them?"

"You didn't make this snow, you didn't cause this natural disaster, and you didn't steal their food. Why are you blaming yourself here?"

Su Nuan found it funny, and she responded in her mind, "I have food here, but I didn't give it to them right away. Is that bad?"

The space spirit cried out, "Why should we give it to them? What have they given you?"

"You're letting them know that survival is difficult now for their own good. If everything goes smoothly, what sense of crisis will there be?"

"Once people lose their sense of crisis, they lose their sense of solidarity. Without solidarity, they become selfish. What will happen in the end?"

Su Nuan was comforted by the space spirit. She agreed and said, "Yes, you are right."

The words of the space spirit completely dispelled the slight sense of guilt in her heart.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not disaster, but the heart of a saint.

Some people may think that she is too cruel, and she doesn't give out food or save people. But there are too many cases of gratitude and resentment, and protecting her family and keeping them safe is her top priority.

Su Nuan sighed and decided that she should just focus on farming. She was not good at political schemes.

Xue saw Su Nuan sighing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Nuan laughed dryly and said, "It's okay. I'm just wondering how long it will take to plant the crops after spring."

Xue thought for a moment and said, "It might take a while. After the snow melts, it will take a while for the soil to absorb and become suitable for planting."

Su Nuan didn't think so. There was too much snow. When it melted, it would not be absorbed immediately by the earth, but would just flow everywhere.

Fortunately, the village is located at an overall slope, and eventually all the snow water will flow into the river.

There is a high possibility of flooding in the lower reaches of the river. I wonder if there are any houses downstream.

She looked at Ling Cang, "Do you have a detailed map? Where is the lower reaches of the river?"

Ling Cang thought for a moment and said, "This river originates from the Northern Snow Country. We are in the middle section. The lower reaches are the Western Sea Country, and finally the river flows into the sea."

Su Nuan opened her mouth in surprise, and after a while she said, "It actually flowed into the sea. If there's a boat, it can go very far."

Ling Cang nodded, "Yes, but we don't know how to build a ship. Even if we did, we can't build a ship that can sail on the sea for a long time."

Su Nuan shut her mouth. This was not a difficult thing. There were many books in the space spirit's place, and there must be some about shipbuilding, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Then they started chatting again.

After Sun Yu returned, he sent someone to deliver some food, which was enough to cook into porridge and last for ten days.

However, ten days passed and Sun Yu's men did not come, but Su Nuan's family was surrounded by the villagers in the cave.

Su Nuan sat next to the stove, looking up blankly at the people gathered in front of her.

They were skinny and had fierce eyes. The leader was Sun Yuan, who had a face full of flesh.

Sun Yuan said with a ferocious look on his face: "You still have food here, take it out and share it, otherwise we will kill you and eat you."

Su Nuan turned her head to look at Ling Cang. Ling Cang did not move, but drank tea calmly.

Xue said angrily, "Bullshit! Which eye of yours saw that we had food?"

Su Nuan moved his hand and, using the cover of his cloak, threw a small bag of grass seeds under his stool.

She said coldly, "We have no food. Why are you bothering us instead of going out to find food?"

Sun Yuan sneered: "You guys are all so fat and well fed, how could you possibly be out of food?"

"We're going to search. If we find food, we won't eat you. If we don't... hehehe..."

Su Nuan was disgusted by his look, but she still said patiently: "Search, we have no food."

Xue was a little surprised. Why was her daughter-in-law so easy to talk to today?

She already knew Su Nuan's personality very well. Whenever she was nice to others, someone would be in trouble.

She didn't stop them and let them search.

Soon, an aunt noticed the stool under Su Nuan's butt. She pushed Su Nuan away and took out the bag under the stool.

She screamed, "There's food, they have food!"
