Chapter 78 This is my work for nothing

Su Nuan's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, but when she turned around, the smile had disappeared.

She asked blankly, "What's the matter?"

Without waiting for Wu Qi to speak, Cheng Feng said with a cold face: "Sister, it's time to go."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, let's go."

The two men ignored Wu Qi, leaving him alone to worry and ponder what the Thirty-Six Strategies of War were.

Cheng Feng and Su Nuan discovered a team at the foot of the mountain. Instead of going down the mountain, they went to the cave.

The cabbage in the cave was still there, but many animals came to eat it, and they immediately fled in panic when they saw people coming.

After all the cabbages were transported down the mountain, Cheng Feng scolded Li Shitou.

Li Shitou's face was full of grievance. "I thought you were going hunting. After all, you don't need to do this kind of rough work."

Su Nuan tried to smooth things over for Li Shitou, "Don't lecture him. When you have time, clean up the vegetables, remove the rotten leaves, and arrange them in the cart."

Cheng Feng nodded, "It's getting colder the further we go. These dishes will last for a while."

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they did not doubt the origin of these dishes.

Many things cannot stand up to scrutiny, but fortunately these people are rough and don't think too much.

When the team set out again, they walked a long way in one breath, but they still couldn't get out of the plain after walking for a whole day.

Su Nuan felt that the surrounding scenery was very boring and asked, "Mom, it's all withered and yellow here, so boring."

Xue smiled and said, "The plains are good. There won't be any ambushes. No danger is a good thing."

Su Nuan nodded. This was true, but it would be very boring on the road and there was no place to hunt.

At night, Cheng Feng came to the carriage and said, "Girl, come out."

Su Nuan went out and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Feng was speechless when he saw Su Nuan's bright eyes that seemed to be eager to create chaos, so he raised his hand and stuffed the little white rabbit into her hands.

"It's yours, you can raise it yourself. This thing actually stole my meat."

Su Nuan chuckled, rabbits can indeed be eaten as meat.

She rubbed the little white rabbit and threw it into the car, which immediately caused a group of exclamations. The children all liked this furry little animal.

Su Nuan asked: "Anything else?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk and find some pheasant eggs to eat."

Su Nuan, "..."Are you asking me to work for nothing?

Cheng Feng couldn't stand her mercenary look, so he said with a smile: "I'll buy you something delicious when we get to the city."

Su Nuan then smiled happily, "Okay, it's settled."

She looked at the sky, went to the back of the car, grabbed the backpack and ran away.

Cheng Feng exclaimed: "What a lively girl."

Ling Yun immediately said: "That's my sister-in-law, not a girl."

Cheng Feng glanced at Ling Yun and said, "Fool."

Ling Yun pursed her lips. She really wanted to fight with Cheng Feng, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Cheng Feng mounted his horse and ran forward. The road here was wide and the horse ran very fast.

At this moment, Su Nuan was walking back and forth in the wasteland, hoping to find something.

The space spirit suddenly said, "There is wild dry wheat, but the ears are small and the fruit is bitter. It needs to be cultivated artificially for more than three generations before it can be grown on a large scale outside."

After the Space Spirit spoke, Su Nuan remembered a question, "By the way, which Thirty-Six Stratagems are you talking about?"

The space spirit threw out a book and said, "Here, read it yourself."

Su Nuan opened the book, a little confused, "Why are the words missing limbs? I don't understand."

The Space Spirit smiled awkwardly, "Oh, I forgot you're from ancient times. This is simplified Chinese. If you don't know it, you can ask me and I'll tell you."

Su Nuan simply sat down on the ground and started reading.

An hour later, Su Nuan threw the book back into the space. "It turns out there is such a brilliant plan. It's amazing."

The space spirit said, "Why would a woman like you learn this?"

Su Nuan answered directly: "Curious."

Space Spirit, “…” Curiosity kills the cat.

Su Nuan stood up, stretched his muscles and asked, "Where is Hanmai?"

The space spirit said, "Take eight steps to the right."

Su Nuan walked over and saw a small patch of weeds that looked like wheat. She plucked some ears of wheat and put them away.

She curiously picked up a few grains and put them in her mouth. They had the fragrance of wheat, but were also very bitter.

But when you bite it open, the inside is white, unlike the noodles we have now which are black and gray.

The space spirit said, "If it was your black noodles, I wouldn't remind you. This is the real white noodles."

Su Nuan was speechless. Is there anyone who is not serious?

The space spirit didn't want to explain to Su Nuan and chose to remain silent.

Su Nuan chuckled, "There are pheasant eggs to remind me."

The space said: "Yes, you only asked me to remind you about the crops, not the pheasant eggs."

Su Nuan was speechless. This space spirit couldn’t be beaten or scolded, so forget it.

"Where?"

The space spirit replied, "Thirty steps to the right."

Su Nuan immediately turned around and walked back thirty steps, which was correct, but she stepped on a pheasant egg during the 30th step.

She said regretfully, "Oh, next time you say thirty steps, I will definitely stop at twenty-nine."

The space spirit didn't say anything and just pretended to be dead.

Su Nuan started picking up eggs while chattering. Even if she didn't catch them all, she would fill her backpack. A few hundred pheasant eggs were not a small number.

She muttered to herself in confusion, "How can chicks hatch when it's so cold? Are these pheasants stupid? They're laying eggs at this time of year."

The space spirit replied, "The pheasants here have adapted to the climate, and these eggs are not used to hatch chicks, but to occupy the nest to prevent them from being snatched away by other pheasants."

Su Nuan suddenly realized, "I see."

She returned to the caravan and gave the pheasant eggs to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng asked: "Why don't you take some for yourself?"

Su Nuan thought of the man who loved his wife so much and said, "Ten or eight will be enough. My pheasants lay two eggs a day."

Cheng Feng glanced sideways, "In my entire life, I've never seen an exiled prisoner as comfortable and affluent as you."

Su Nuan chuckled, "Really? Isn't that what we've seen?"

Cheng Feng laughed, waved his hand, and drove him away with a look of disgust on his face: "Go away, go back and rest."

Su Nuan returned with the eggs, and Xue and the others had already started preparing dinner.

The days passed dull and boring, and after a few days I finally saw the city in the distance.

Su Nuan stood in the carriage and looked around.

The road here is not the main road into the city. I guess their official road is at another gate.

Xue asked, "Do you want to buy something?"

Su Nuan shook her head, "No need."

While saying this, she was actually thinking about how to go into the city to fish at night.

She jumped off the carriage and looked at Ling Yun. He was taller than her, but very thin, and his clothes could be worn after some alterations.

Ling Yun understood her expression almost instantly and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you want to fly? Just like this... whoosh..."

He swung his arm in a semicircle, which looked very funny, but Su Nuan saw hope.

He could even avoid the guards and enter the imperial palace, so this small city was nothing to him.

"Well, I would call you, but I have to go and find out something now."
