Damn it, you might step in shit just trying to go down the mountain.
The trees were cut down in a mess, and birds and beasts were about to become extinct. If this continued, we would all die together.
Third Leader: "That's right, we won't take them. These people are also a hidden danger. Among so many people, how many are truly valuable? Some are strong, some are good swimmers, and some have good craftsmanship. They can be of use to us."
"I just thought the boss would need to think about it for a couple more days and didn't want to make a decision so quickly," Uncle Luo said.
Third Leader: "Shouldn't we thank that Miss Li? I was right at the back of the crowd, and damn it, I was so excited, like there was a fire about to explode in my heart—cough!"
After being glared at by the leader, he immediately straightened up and said, "I was really excited by what the boss said. It was concise and powerful. After all, the Li family girl is a woman. The one who can achieve great things is still the boss."
Xie Xiao flicked his bangs, "That's right, but she's alright, I guess."
As expected...
"I heard that when they were robbing Song Zhijing's grain, Miss Li even risked her life to shield Er Gou and the Third Master from arrows?" Uncle Luo said.
"Absolutely! Where can you find such a wonderful girl? If you ask me—"
As if on cue, the Third Master hadn't even finished speaking when Sun Ergou rushed in excitedly, "Boss, look who's here!"
Seeing a beautiful figure at the door, Xie Xiao was stunned. The next moment, he saw her wipe her face, straighten her robe, lie down on the kang, turn around, and leave everyone with a two-foot-wide back.
Uncle Luo, the third leader: ...
Li Ruo didn't rush inside. She looked at the house from the outside for a while. The house was made of thickly nailed wood, and there was a layer of something on the outside. She wondered if it was for fireproofing.
Inside the house were tables and chairs, the shelves of which were made of rough wood, and there was a row of weapon racks on the side. "Not bad, your boss can handle all these weapons?"
Sun Ergou: "Of course, Boss is proficient in all eighteen martial arts."
Third Master: Shouldn't you greet the boss first, girl?
Xie, the head of the household, sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his back stiff and motionless.
Li Ruo brandished a red-tasseled spear, then a broadsword, and even bent a bow. "Not bad, not bad."
Xie, the head of the household, had been sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) for a while, and couldn't help but shift his position.
Sun Ergou poured her a cup of tea. Li Ru looked at the teacup and said, "Did you make this teacup yourselves? It's quite unique." It was particularly rough.
"Sister, how do you know? There really is a brick kiln behind our village. The bricks for the outer walls are all fired by ourselves. Otherwise, it would be exhausting to carry them up from the foot of the mountain."
Li Ruo gave a thumbs up, "Your boss is smart."
The clever Chief Xie reached out and scratched his itchy waist.
"Oh, you even have a kang (heated brick bed)? No wonder it's so warm inside." Li Ruo's eyes lit up.
The third leader thought to himself, "You've finally found the boss!"
To everyone's surprise, Li Ruo walked back and forth by the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "This is the kang! You must have a fire burning underneath it. Isn't it connected to the kitchen? This way, you can still cook and save firewood."
It's understandable that a southerner would be excited since they'd never seen a kang (heated brick bed) before. As they spoke, they added firewood to the kang, preparing to light it.
