Chapter 47 The old man's gossip

Su Nuan fed Ling Cang first. The pancakes soaked in broth are easy to digest and are the best for someone like him who has little activity.

The family ate their fill, and perhaps because of the wolf attack, no one outside came to cause trouble.

Su Nuan sat at the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky. The dark clouds rolled in like a quilt that was absorbing water. When it could no longer bear the pressure, it would squeeze out all the water inside.

She thought about it and calculated the food in the cave. Three meals a day would only last for one day, and one meal a day would last for three days. However, the rain in her previous life was not so light. The heaviest rain lasted for five days.

I think if it rains again this time, it will rain continuously for five days. The current place of stay is much better than the previous life. At that time, there were only bald mountains around and there was no food, unlike now when there is food in the mountains and forests on both sides.

If you can't dig up wild vegetables, some tree bark will do.

She got up and walked towards Cheng Feng's residence.

Some women who came out to get some fresh air gathered together and started whispering when they saw Su Nuan.

"The little vixen is trying to seduce the official again."

"That's right, you can eat and drink just by moving your legs, how shameless."

"Keep your voice down, she'll hear you."

"What if you heard it? Can you beat me up?"

"That's right, I told her to beat me up."

Su Nuan immediately turned around, walked over quickly, and slapped each of them in the face, very fairly.

She clapped her hands, turned and left without saying a word.

Several women covered their faces and looked at each other. They wanted to cry because of the pain, but they felt that losing face was even more painful.

But none of them dared to say another word, and could only stare at Su Nuan's back angrily.

Su Nuan found it funny. It turned out that if you can just take action, don't waste your words. This is the quickest way to solve the problem.

She came to Cheng Feng's residence and stood at the door and shouted, "Brother Cheng, I have something to discuss with you. Can I come in?"

Cheng Feng responded, "Come in."

Su Nuan lifted the curtain and went in. She didn’t know when he made the curtain. This was a good idea. She would make one for herself when she got home.

After entering, she saw that Cheng Feng was not wearing an outer shirt, but his stomach was covered with bandages. Su Nuan was not an innocent little girl, so she did not feel embarrassed.

Cheng Feng said, "Sit down, what can I do for you, sister?"

Su Nuan expressed her concerns, "I think if it rains again, it will be a continuous downpour. We still have half a day left today. Let them go out and find some food and be prepared to be trapped for ten or eight days."

Cheng Feng nodded, "I thought so too. After nearly ten years of walking, I can tell a lot about the weather."

Su Nuan said, "There are many caves here. There may be dry firewood in some places. Send someone to look for it. It will be very cold with heavy rain and dark clouds covering the sun."

Cheng Feng frowned and nodded, "Yes, I didn't think of that."

Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go dig wild ginger in the mountains this afternoon and bring it back to you. Give some to anyone who catches a cold."

"I will prepare medicinal herbs for the soldiers to dispel the cold. They will drink a bowl of this every night."

Cheng Feng sighed: "Fortunately, you are with me on this journey, otherwise we would have suffered a lot of losses this time."

Su Nuan touched her nose. The source of the wild wolves this time was the Ling family, so Cheng Feng's words made her feel a little guilty.

Unconsciously, she had completely regarded herself as a member of the Ling family.

Cheng Feng added, "Go and do your thing. I'll tell them that some lazy people must be beaten. It's no use if you tell them that."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back first."

When she came out of the cave, she saw Li Shitou, who was holding a door woven with wide branches and leaves.

Li Shitou smiled as soon as he saw Su Nuan: "Sister Su, this is the door I made for you, but you'd better get a curtain. This door can only hold down the curtain, and the curtain can block the wind."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll go back first."

Li Shitou originally wanted to send Su Nuan back, but when he saw Su Nuan lift the door with one hand, he said nothing, but just sighed at how strong this sister Su was.

Su Nuan went back and poked the tip of one end of the door into the ground, thus forming the door hinge.

She felt it was not stable enough, so she found a wooden stick and nailed it into the cracks in the cave wall, and then tied a rope to the protruding part above the door.

This way, the upper and lower parts will be fixed and won't be damaged unless the wind is very strong.

Xue said, "Do we need a curtain?"

Su Nuan nodded, "Mom, you guys take care of the curtain. I'm going to go to the mountain to find some other food. We need to be prepared to be trapped in the cave for five or six days."

Xue bit her lip and looked at Ling Yun, "You go with me and protect your sister-in-law."

Su Nuan didn't want to take anything from the space, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoyun, you carry a bigger backpack."

"Okay." Ling Yun nodded, looking obedient with a hint of excitement.

Su Nuan didn’t know what he was so excited about. Maybe kids all like to play and have fun outside.

She didn't think much about it and took Lingyun out.

Someone muttered, "Oh, the shameless guy is hooking up with his brother-in-law to fool around in the mountains again...ah..."

Su Nuan looked over and saw an old lady covering her mouth and screaming, with blood flowing out from between her fingers.

She looked at Ling Yun suspiciously. Since she didn't do it, he was the only one who did it.

Ling Yun waved his fist and cursed, "You old gossipmonger, now you've bitten your tongue, you deserve it."

Su Nuan couldn't help laughing out loud. It's good that bad people get their comeuppance.

They came to a mountain with elm trees and peeled some elm bark.

Only the inner white layer of the elm bark can be used, the outer layer is not needed, but Su Nuan wanted to hurry up and find more things so she didn't process it carefully.

Ling Yun flew the dagger up and down, and soon peeled off a lot of the white inner layer.

Su Nuan sighed, it turned out that people became stupider, but they didn’t forget the skills they had learned, which was better this way.

She said, "You peel the bark here, and I'll go inside and look. I'll pick up some clean pine needles for kindling."

"Yes, sister-in-law, be careful." Ling Yun checked and found that there were no wild animals nearby, so he felt relieved.

Su Nuan walked into the woods. There were a lot of drier pine needles in some deeper pits, so she collected some of them into her space. After all, no one would care whether there were too many or too few of these things.

Suddenly something hit her in front of her, making a loud noise.

Su Nuan hurriedly picked up the leaves and found the thing, which turned out to be the delivery tower.

This thing is more common in the north. I don’t know how this piece of larch grew and can produce pine cones.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." Some squirrels ran around.

Su Nuan muttered to herself with sparkling eyes, "If there are squirrels, there must be squirrel nests. They are good at hiding things."

Thinking of this, Su Nuan threw the tower into the backpack and began to look for the squirrel's nest.

I found quite a lot this time, and took out a full basket of dried fruits.

Of course, she would not kill all the squirrels. She left some food in each nest to prevent the squirrels from starving to death.

She was searching with great enthusiasm when she suddenly heard angry curses from Ling Yun's side.

"Bad guy, give it back to me."
