Chapter 75 The best of the best

Su Nuan quickly sat up straight and listened attentively.

Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan. She was pretty, with distinct black and white eyes. She was sitting properly at the moment, with a serious look on her face, which was particularly cute.

His face flushed, and he said with an evasive look, "Take that underground river, for example. It's just grass on the surface, so you wouldn't notice it unless you stepped on it. But once you're stuck in it, it's very difficult to get out."

Su Nuan nodded obediently and carefully wrote down every word Ling Cang said. She also learned a lot of survival skills in the wild.

Ling Yun stood beside the carriage, listening to his elder brother talking in the car, and his sister-in-law's voice responding from time to time. He felt as if thousands of ants were crawling in his heart.

It didn't hurt, just itchy. He raised his hand and pounded his chest twice before the pain was relieved a lot.

Su Nuan learned a lot from Ling Cang that day. She took out the ginseng and stuffed it into Ling Cang's hand.

"Here, eat a piece of this the size of a finger joint every day. Chew it up slowly and swallow it."

Ling Cang looked at the ginseng in his hand, feeling mixed emotions. This ginseng could be sold for thousands, even tens of thousands, of taels, and yet she was just eating it as a snack for herself...

Su Nuan had already gotten out of the car. She didn't notice the confusion on Ling Cang's face. She also had to chop some wood.

Before she even went up the mountain, Li Shitou came running over and said, "Aunt, the captain said you guys are short of firewood, so go get some up front."

Su Nuan didn't hesitate and nodded, "Okay, if it snows heavily on the way, we can use the snow to burn charcoal. Charcoal fire is more suitable for keeping warm in the car."

Li Shitou asked in confusion, "Don't charcoal burners use charcoal kilns? How can snow be used?"

Su Nuan nodded and took a branch to write and draw on the ground.

"Look, dig a hole like this, throw the wood in and burn it. When it's almost burned, immediately cover the wood with snow. Wait until the flames inside go out, and then the charcoal will be ready. This is much faster than a charcoal kiln."

Li Shitou jumped three feet high, "Okay, I'll go tell the captain."

Su Nuan was speechless. This child was so irritable.

Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan in shock. How did she know this method?

My eldest brother once led troops in the north. Was he the one who taught me?"

Thinking of this, Ling Yun entered the carriage and asked, "Brother, did you hear everything?"

Ling Cang nodded, "I heard everything."

Ling Yun frowned and said, "She has never been to the Northland, how did she know this method? Did Big Brother tell her?"

Ling Cang lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, "Yes, I did say that."

Ling Yun pursed his lips and nodded, "Sister-in-law is so unkind that she didn't even mention that it was my eldest brother who said that."

Ling Cang laughed and said, "She didn't say that she thought of it. Besides, she didn't mention it because she was protecting me."

Ling Yun nodded in sudden realization, "I understand. She doesn't want Big Brother to show off his talent."

Ling Cang nodded and said, "That's right, go down, I want to sleep."

Ling Yun nodded, got out of the car and followed it.

Ling Cang did not sleep. He had already noticed that there was something wrong with his young wife. Many things she did were unreasonable, but she still did them.

Maybe the young wife has some special skills and she doesn't want others to know. This idea is correct, because a secret is no longer a secret, but a disaster if more people know it.

Although my younger brother is not stupid now, I can't let him know. He is still young and has a quick temper. What if he lets the cat out of the bag?

After thinking about so many things, Ling Cang fell into a deep sleep.

The two brothers tried various ways to cover up for Su Nuan, but Su Nuan was unaware of it and complacently thought she had handled it well.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on her. Ling Cang and Ling Yun are not ordinary people. They are the smartest of the smart. They live together day and night, so they will definitely find clues.

Although Su Nuan lived two lives as a human, she was stupid for most of her previous life. Her IQ returned only after she discovered the truth, but it was too late.

At this moment, Su Nuan found Cheng Feng and asked, "Brother Cheng, you..."

Cheng Feng saw Su Nuan and smiled, "By the way, we'll be staying for a few more days. Go to the mountain and see if there's any cabbage left. It's delicious."

Su Nuan, “…” Foodie.

She didn't think Cheng Feng stayed a few more days just for the cabbage, so she asked, "What happened?"

Cheng Feng shook his head. "No, I just heard you talk about the snow-covered charcoal method, and I thought about cutting more logs. After all, there aren't many trees in the grassland behind."

Su Nuan suddenly realized, "Yes, I don't know how far the city ahead is. Why not send someone to buy some horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts first, so that we can transport more wood."

Cheng Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Su Nuan couldn't help with this kind of thing, so she smiled and said, "I'll go find some food."

Su Nuan did not bring Ling Yun this time. She had to use the space so she had to go by herself. She did not return to the carriage but went straight up the mountain.

This time she found a cave, entered the space, pulled up the cabbage by the roots, and placed it in the space to dehydrate for an hour.

Sharp bamboo sticks were used to poke the cabbage to resemble animal bites.

These holes will change color during the dehydration process and it doesn't look like they were made by humans at all.

She placed more than 200 kilograms in total, and she and Cheng Feng shared half of it.

After setting up the "crime scene", Su Nuan hurried down the mountain and found Cheng Feng and said, "There is a cave on the mountain."

Cheng Feng raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Is there a bear?"

Su Nuan shook her head. "There's cabbage that was dragged in by animals. It weighs over 200 kilograms. I can't get it back by myself."

Cheng Feng's eyes lit up, "Let's go."

He actually personally led people to follow Su Nuan up the mountain, which shows how much he likes the cabbage.

When they arrived at the cave, Cheng Feng looked at the cabbage and examined it carefully. He said, "It looks like the teeth marks of a wolf or a fox, but it doesn't matter. We can take it back and eat it anyway."

As he said this, he asked someone to pack the cabbages into bags and carry them down the mountain. With vegetables, he could solve the problem of not having to go to the toilet urgently.

Su Nuan remained silent throughout the whole process, just waiting to see how Cheng Feng would allocate it.

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "You found this, so I'll give you 30%."

Su Nuan glanced sideways. Cheng Feng knew he was asking for too much, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of your firewood from now on."

Although Su Nuan didn't need this condition, she had to listen to him since he said so, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get the cabbage back.

"Okay, that's what you said. Don't blame us for using too much firewood when the time comes."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I still want to eat the food you cook, so it's normal to use firewood."

Su Nuan was speechless and cursed in her heart, "Bah, shameless."

Cheng Feng looked at Su Nuan's deflated expression, and a smile appeared on his beard.

It’s not that I mean to bully her, I just feel happy to be able to bully this clever little girl.

Su Nuan was sulking when her feet suddenly felt empty and she fell down.

Soon she fell to the ground, her butt hurting.

However, it suddenly got dark above her head, and Su Nuan quickly rolled on the ground to avoid it.

As expected, it was Cheng Feng who jumped down. There was panic on his face, but it turned into contempt when he saw Su Nuan. "You walk without looking at the road? Are you using your eyeballs to breathe?"
