Chapter 213 Su Nuan teases Zhao Jingcheng
Cheng Feng laughed and said, "I was outside when you were digging the kitchen that day. I saw you digging up stones and putting them in your bags."
Su Nuan frowned. Xiaotian's kung fu was not weak either, so how could he not hear anyone outside? And Xiao Lingyun, she didn't remind herself.
Seeing Su Nuan's bad face, Cheng Feng said, "Don't worry, you are my biological sister. Big brother won't hurt you. You guys were working so loudly that it's normal that you didn't notice me. Don't blame them. They are not gods."
Su Nuan felt much better after hearing this. She was not afraid that Cheng Feng would know the secret, but she was afraid that someone would betray her.
She smiled and said, "How about this, we'll find a place to put the things, and you'll send them here. You'll say it's a task from above, and you must plant them well. If you don't plant them well, you'll be punished."
Cheng Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why bother?"
Su Nuan sighed, "Look at the people in Sifang Village. Although all the men have the surname Ling, they all have their own thoughts and are not united at all."
"The people in Xiangyang Village are also a mess. It is a combination of some surrounding villages, and the population is even more complex."
"I originally thought this disaster would bring them together, but look at their eyes now, unity?"
Cheng Feng touched his chin and nodded, "You're right, just like the new soldiers, they need training and discipline to be obedient."
Su Nuan sighed again. Perhaps these people were just a group of scattered sand and there was no way they could be united.
Cheng Feng said, "Don't think too much about it. I've thought about your suggestion and I think it's feasible."
Su Nuan picked up the corn and put it back into the sack. "There are more than 600 kilograms here. It will last for a few days."
Cheng Feng suddenly asked, "Are there any fish? The river is flowing now, can we catch any?"
Su Nuan rolled her eyes at him. He was almost starving, yet he was still ordering food here.
"You can catch them yourself, but the water is turbid and fast, so there's little hope of catching any fish."
Cheng Feng said disappointedly: "Okay, then just bear with it for a while."
Su Nuan found a clean place, took out a piece of oilcloth, spread it out, and poured out the wild vegetables in the basket.
She called out, "Anyone free? Come pick some wild vegetables."
There were about sixty or seventy women, old and young, here, but only about ten responded.
Su Nuan remembered their faces and believed that hardworking people should be treated preferentially, at least they should be able to eat enough.
When the corn in the pot was cooked until soft, Su Nuan took it out, broke it into several pieces and distributed them to the women working.
"This is edible. Take it back and give it to your children to satisfy their cravings."
Several women happily took the corn and thanked Lianlian.
However, an old lady with a black headband snorted coldly, "What is that? Who has eaten it? I think Su Nuan just wants you to try it to see if it's poisonous."
As soon as these words were spoken, the women's expressions changed.
Su Nuan looked at the old lady. She was not from Sifang Village. People from Xiangyang Village were really troublesome.
She picked up a piece and started chewing it. After finishing it, she sneered, "I ate it too. Would I have eaten it if it was poisonous?"
The old lady said sarcastically, "Everyone knows you're a doctor. Maybe you took some antidote in advance."
Su Nuan almost choked on the mouthful of corn, so she pounded her chest hard to swallow it.
She knew that explaining to this old witch would be a waste of energy.
She simply said, "Eat it if you want, or not. If you don't believe me, just give it back to me."
The women looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been relying on Su Nuan's charity to survive during this period.
A woman in her twenties smiled and said, "We trust you. If you hadn't helped us during this period, we would have starved to death."
Another younger woman said, "Yes, I don't believe you saved us just to let us test poison on you."
The other women all covered their mouths and laughed, they were too shy to speak.
Seeing that this person believed in her, Su Nuan smiled and said, "I like hardworking people, so as long as you are diligent, you will definitely be able to eat your fill."
"Okay, you guys go back first, I'll go pick some up before it gets dark."
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she left the cliff with Feixue.
The old lady looked at Su Nuan flying away and muttered to herself, "Bah... She's just a money-loser, living a shameless life with so many lovers. What's so great about her?"
She spat and turned to go into the house, but she felt pain in her mouth and screamed, "Ah..."
She covered her mouth with her hands, and when she released them, her two front teeth appeared in her palms, and blood kept gushing out.
Her triangular eyes quickly scanned the area, but she couldn't find out who had knocked out her tooth.
Suddenly, a vague and cold voice came into her ears.
"Old hag, if you don't want to die, shut up, or I'll chop your head off next time!"
The old lady looked around in horror. There was no one around. Who was talking?
She screamed, "Ghost!" and then ran into the house, closed the door, and leaned against it, shivering.
Lei Wuya in the corner snorted coldly. If Su Nuan hadn't said that these people were laborers, he would not have knocked out her teeth, but pierced her throat.
Xiaotian on the side said: "It's a good thing you didn't kill anyone. Killing one less person here means one more job."
Lei Wuya snorted, "When are you leaving? I'm afraid if you stay too long, it will bring disaster to this place."
Xiaotian's face turned pale and he said, "They probably all thought I was dead."
Lei Wuya looked at Xiaotian and said, "You should also change your appearance, otherwise the young girls and wives here will miss their husbands after they have enough food and drink. Hahaha..."
Xiaotian glanced at Lei Wuya. This guy was good-looking, but he had an evil temperament, so those women really wouldn't have any ideas about him.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "I understand. I will be more restrained."
Lei Wuya looked at Xiaotian in astonishment, "You...you are such a noble and proud person, yet you actually wronged yourself just to stay here."
Xiaotian snorted coldly, "Aren't you the same?"
The two of them disliked each other and parted ways.
Su Nuan brought back some corn before dark and went back to change into her original clothes.
It's not cold now, and her dress shows off her figure.
She decided to use Su Nuan's identity to see Zhao Jingcheng, wondering if this guy had become a eunuch.
She came to Zhao Jingcheng's house with a black steamed bun and knocked on the door. "Brother Cheng, are you awake?"
Zhao Jingcheng immediately said, "Come in."
Su Nuan pushed open the broken door and walked in, and saw Zhao Jingcheng lying half-dead on the bed.
She immediately said with a look of heartache (gloating), "Brother Cheng, are you okay?"
Zhao Jingcheng looked at Su Nuan and found that although her face was a little pale, her figure was very graceful. He said immediately, "Will you come with me when I get better? I will take you back to the capital and marry you in a sedan chair carried by eight people."
Su Nuan's face was filled with ecstasy, and she asked delicately, "Really? But how are we going to get back when it's so far?"
A fierce look appeared on Zhao Jingcheng's face. "Don't worry, I have arrangements. As long as you are willing, I will take you back."
Su Nuan was very curious. What plans did he have after all this? And why was he so insistent on taking her back? The old emperor was still alive and didn't need anyone to be buried with him!
