Su Ying glanced at the food box in her hand, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mei Niang laughed sweetly and twisted her waist like a water snake to come to Su Ying, "Well, young lady, have you decided to settle down here?"
“Yes, this is a good location.”
"That's great. From now on, my lady and I will be neighbors. Here are some appetizers. I hope my lady likes them."
Su Ying glanced at the food box and took it. "Thank you."
"No need. In the future, we will have many opportunities to help each other. Since the young lady is busy, I won't bother her anymore."
"good."
Mei Niang turned and left.
Su Ying opened the lunch box, and inside were two plates of dark red plum blossom-shaped snacks that smelled sweet.
Su Ying took out the snacks from the food box and threw them in front of the wolf king, "Here, dog, this is your reward." She would not eat anything that did not come from an unknown source.
The wolf king raised his head arrogantly, and only after Su Ying walked away did he lower his head and sniff the snacks. His eyes lit up as he smelled a sweet and fishy scent, and in the blink of an eye, the snacks were eaten into his stomach.
"lady."
Su Ying turned around and saw Tian Mu walking towards her.
"how?"
Tian Mu held a piece of drawing paper in his hand and said, "When Madam went up the mountain to cut wood, the master asked me to think of a structural diagram for building a house. I have drawn it. Madam, please take a look and see if it is okay."
Su Ying took the drawing paper and looked at it. The house on the drawing was not exquisite, but it was very practical.
"It would be better to add a protective fence around this to ensure the safety of people in the yard to the greatest extent possible."
"good."
"We only have wood. Can you build this house without a single nail?"
Speaking of his professional field, Tian Mu nodded confidently, "Yes, and I guarantee that this house will be stronger than one built with blue bricks."
"That's fine. Take the blueprint to Xiao Jin for review. If he thinks it's all right, you can start work. Tell me if you need anything. I'll try my best to satisfy you with whatever I can get."
"Thank you for your trust, ma'am."
"Mother, are we going to live in this place from now on?"
Su Ying patted Dabao's head and said with a smile: "Yes, after Uncle Tianmu builds the house, we won't have to sleep outdoors anymore."
"As long as Ling'er is with A Niang, she will go wherever A Niang goes."
"I want to be with my mother, too."
The two little guys jumped directly into Su Ying's arms and hugged her tightly.
Seeing the two little guys relying on her so much, Su Ying felt indescribably soft in her heart.
"Madam, you are back. Come and have something to eat first. I steamed some multi-grain buns last night, and also steamed some eggs for you, Madam."
Although Su Ying now takes out food every day, He Shouyi doesn't dare to be too extravagant. Before he fully understands the situation here, any amount of food he can save is a good deal.
On the other side, Wang Su and Zhao Neng, who were sent by Xiao Jin to check the camp, also returned.
After returning, the two immediately reported the situation to Xiao Jin, "Your Majesty, we walked around the area and found that the houses here are similar to the ones we saw on the way here. The area here is not small. It can be regarded as a small town."
"Yes, the place is quite big. There are shops selling grain, oil, salt and the like on the street, but the prices are surprisingly high. A pound of rice costs a hundred copper coins."
"One hundred copper coins for a pound of rice?" That's nearly twenty times the normal price of rice.
"Brown rice is cheaper, but it still costs dozens of copper coins per pound. The prices in other shops are also very high. Moreover, they are very wary. When they see that we are unfamiliar, they keep asking us questions and won't say anything useful."
Xiao Jin nodded, "We just arrived, so let's take root here first. It won't be too late to learn about the things here slowly."
"yes."
After eating at night, Su Ying gathered everyone together for a meeting, including the injured who were still unable to move.
"Let me tell you about our current situation." Su Ying said as she swept her eyes across everyone's faces.
"Madam, just say whatever you want to say."
Su Ying nodded and said, "I will temporarily use this open space as my base for a period of time. I only ask you once, if you are willing to stay with me, you can continue to stay, but if you choose to stay, you must obey orders and follow instructions. If anyone is unhappy, you can leave tomorrow morning."
"I am willing to stay and follow the Madam and the Master." Tian Mu was the first to speak.
Zhang Cuiniang and the others also responded.
Aunt Sun gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Su Ying finally set her sights on their family, "What about you?"
Wang Lang immediately said: "I am willing to be loyal to my master forever."
Aunt Sun was unhappy when she heard this. "What master and servant? We are all refugees now. Who is superior to whom?"
Su Ying looked at Aunt Sun with a half-smile, "It looks like Aunt Sun is not happy."
Aunt Sun gritted her teeth and said, "You have harmed our family, don't even think about driving us away!"
Su Ying looked at her coldly, "Since you don't want to leave, then just be obedient and don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
After saying that, Su Ying ignored them and started assigning tasks.
The house cannot be built by Tian Mu alone.
"Tian Mu will be in charge of building the house from tomorrow onwards. The soldiers on No. 1 will be at your disposal. If they dare to disobey, tell me immediately."
Tamaki nodded, "Yes ma'am."
"Mother Zhao is responsible for taking care of the children. We must not let them leave this open space until we have a clear understanding of the situation in the tiger camp."
Mother Zhao took on the task seriously.
"Bai Shuang, Uncle He, and Aunt Jiang are responsible for everyone's meals for the day."
Cheng Ming will take care of Jiang Yang and the other injured people, while Zhang Cuiniang and Lin Zhuyu will be mobile and go wherever they are needed.
Zhao Neng and Wang Su were arranged by Xiao Jin.
As for Aunt Sun and the other two, except for Wang Furong and Wang Lang, Aunt Sun and her mother-in-law went to look for water.
Aunt Sun was unhappy when she heard this. Where were they supposed to find water in this place?
After making the arrangements, Su Ying used the water that she secretly released from the space to give herself and the child a simple wash.
Just as I was about to go to bed, I saw No. 1 and his men coming back dragging some wood.
Dozens of big men were so tired that they looked like dogs and almost fell to the ground.
Su Ying said to Uncle He, "Allow them to eat their fill. They will still have rough work to do in the next few days."
"Okay."
When Su Ying was about to lie down to sleep, she found that her shoes were pulled by someone... no, by a wolf.
The wolf king's cowardly and tough eyes seemed to be asking Su Ying where they were eating.
Su Ying slapped him in the face with her backhand, "Go away, go find food in the back hills by yourself, if you don't know how to come back...ha!"
The wolf king felt his neck tighten, and he barked at her, groaned, and walked away with his tail between his legs.
