Chapter 141 Rest
Qingshan picked up a few stones and threw them over.
“Ouch—”
"My teeth!"
"Ah!! My...my teeth."
The man who had been in the lead just now covered his mouth and nose, rolled on the ground, his words unclear, and blood was already flowing through his fingers.
Seeing this, several people completely shut up and didn't dare to say another word...
"My Lord!"
"Miss, Miss!"
"You are finally back, are you okay?"
Liu Laosan, Liuzi and others went to greet them together, while Grandma Jiang and others behind them were already in tears.
Lu Chaofeng dismounted from the horse, helped take the reins from Su Chengnan, and helped him down.
Su Linhua couldn't wait any longer, "The three of us are fine, we are not injured."
"Thank God, I'm glad you're not hurt. I'm glad you're not hurt."
Su Chengnan patted his hips and legs, held his waist to relax, and asked with a smile: "Did you encounter any enemy attacks on the way here?"
"No, we are doing well."
"That's good."
Lu Chaofeng looked around, found a place himself, and directed the flatbed trucks behind him to stop in a line.
"Everyone take a break here."
"In half an hour, we'll continue our journey!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the guards answered in unison.
But Liu Laosan and others were confused. They looked at each other, and the people not far away also became panicked.
"My Lord, this mountain road is not easy to walk on. Do we still need to travel tonight?"
"Well, we have to go."
While Lu Chaofeng was arranging matters, his men had already spread out to explore the way ahead. His expression was very serious and he didn't want to explain to everyone for the moment.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan said, "The White Bear Country's cavalry has not returned to the camp for a long time. I'm afraid they will send more troops to investigate. If we don't leave quickly, I'm afraid..."
Before she finished speaking, everyone had already understood the truth and said, "Go, go, go! We have to go."
"Then why don't you just stop resting and leave now."
"Stop talking, didn't you hear what the prince said just now? Rest for half an hour! They are all exhausted after a whole night, and we can't help them at all. Let's go and boil some hot water to warm everyone up."
"Sixth brother, you're right! Since we can't kill the enemy, we can just help with the chores. We can't just sit there and do nothing!"
Su Chengnan was still quite pleased. The people he brought out from Yinmeng Mountain were still very considerate and caring. He felt that his efforts were not in vain.
Su Linhua nodded, "Let's go, let's get something to eat. You guys help me make a fire, and a few people go get some water!"
"Okay, I'll follow the Second Miss's instructions."
Su Chengnan pulled Su Linhua's sleeve and reminded her: "It's only half an hour, so count the time and do something simple."
"Don't worry, I know everything."
"Okay, go ahead. Liuzi, you guys stay for a while."
The others looked over, and Su Linhua urged them to leave quickly. Liu Zi and the others looked at Su Chengnan curiously, "Miss, what do you want?"
"We have captured many war horses, but there are too many things on the flatbed cart and not enough ropes. Can you think of a way to make use of all these horses?"
"Okay. Let's go check it out."
"Also, the wooden arrows and some small wooden hidden weapons we made before have all been consumed this time. We may need to make a new batch as soon as possible to make up for them. You can tell me how much materials and manpower are needed. I will ask someone to prepare them."
After a few people discussed it, they immediately calculated a share and said they would use it first, and when it got daybreak, they would collect materials locally as they walked.
Ah Shun wanted to take on the job, but Su Chengnan refused. "Go eat something. You will have to lead the team later. I'll let my people go. They can take a break on the way."
"That's fine. I'll go check on the prince first. He hasn't slept for two or three days and he's really worried and angry."
"Well, go ahead. Leave these trivial matters to me."
"Thank you, Miss."
"You're welcome."
Su Chengnan led his men around the camp, checking for gaps and helping to deal with these inconspicuous yet important little things.
Su Linhua cooked wild vegetable soup, made some noodles, and also organized some aunts and ladies to help steam a lot of buns.
It's too late for the meat.
The cars were all covered tightly with tarpaulins. Lu Chaofeng and Su Chengnan had the same idea: don't create unnecessary trouble and just get out first.
Therefore, the horse meat was not eaten.
"Sister, come and eat something first."
"Just give me a steamed bun."
"Is that enough?"
"enough!"
Su Linhua was also confused. When they set out again, they could go back to the carriage. There was everything in the space. There was no need to eat steamed buns with others and snatch their rations.
This is already in the north.
The temperature at night was close to zero degrees. Everyone huddled together, snuggling up to each other for warmth, and tried not to move if possible.
Naturally, the people were very greedy when they smelled the fragrance.
No matter what, they still can't turn a blind eye. There are many things that cannot be explained to uneducated people. Human nature is selfish.
Boiling one pot of soup is the same as boiling it, and boiling two pots is the same as boiling it.
They could still afford a bowl of hot soup with plenty of salt and sugar. Steamed buns are different. Those who help with the work can get one, but those who don't do any work really get nothing.
Not happy?
I'm sorry about that.
They were all people who had just come down from the battlefield. As soon as they raised their eyebrows, the murderous aura in their bodies could not stop leaking out, which was even more creepy than the cold wind in the valley.
The hot food is right in front of you, and even the most reluctant person can’t resist it.
Liuzi initially wanted to find fifty people to work, but in the end he only called over twenty people.
Now that’s good! There were more than a hundred men, and they surrounded the place where the carpenters were working in three layers inside and outside.
Fortunately, we had an experienced team and everyone knew what they were good at. The previous tasks were issued as usual and the wooden products were quickly produced.
But, it is really bitter.
Those frozen and stiff fingers were so clumsy that they did things very clumsily. Some were even jumping around in place while doing the work in their hands, which made Su Chengnan feel mixed emotions.
This era
People like this, life is so hard.
It's not easy.
When she arrives in Ningguta, she will definitely find a way to ensure that everyone has enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and learn some basic knowledge and principles.
"Okay, time to go."
"Give everyone one stick of incense to pack up and get ready to leave."
"Hurry up! If you delay our departure, I will not be polite!"
Ah Shun led his men to shout back and forth.
When he walked in front of Su Chengnan, he said respectfully: "Miss, your carriage is dirty. If you don't mind, you can take a rest in the carriage of the deceased princess..."
