Luo Tianya's face turned red with anger after being instigated. What kind of people are these?
One or two of them were thinking of eliminating him ahead of time.
Hmph, he won't let them have their way.
"You're absolutely right. We're teammates now, so let's get through the first two years first. We can start competing against each other in the third year."
He said matter-of-factly, "It's not time for us to fight each other yet. I don't want to ruin the team's unity because of my and Emmanuel's casual remarks."
Sang Ning gave him a suspicious look, her eyes full of meaning.
Seeing that look in her eyes, Luo Tianya took a deep breath and decided to suppress his anger for the sake of her delicious cooking, saying, "What does that look mean?"
Sang Ning bluntly asked, "Are you sure Emmanuel was joking? Are you sure you didn't agree to Emmanuel's request to avoid disrupting team unity, and that it wasn't out of genuine feeling?"
Luo Tianya, who didn't know what "from the heart" meant, nodded and said firmly, "That's right, I am from the heart, wholeheartedly devoted to the team. What Guang Zhengwei said is exactly what I mean."
Mu Tao and the others exclaimed, "!!!"
Having lived for so many years, they had never seen such a shameless person.
Several people instinctively wanted to retort, but Sang Ning suddenly realized and said "Oh," as if to say, "You should have said so earlier." "Let's go, let's go. Da Ya Zi has already admitted that he chickened out, so let's not make sarcastic remarks."
"???"
Everyone looked bewildered, including the audience.
Luo Tianya was furious. "Who's a coward? When did I admit to being a coward?"
Sang Ning looked at him calmly, like an emotionless robot, and said, "I asked you if you were following your heart, and you said yes."
"From the heart" means cowardly.
It was Mu Tao and the others who suddenly realized what was happening, while Luo Tianya was stunned and dumbfounded.
Finally, Philodia couldn't help but exclaim with sparkling eyes, "So this is how you can use 'heart'! Human writing is truly profound."
"Of course."
Sang Ning nodded in agreement, "Chinese characters are truly profound. A single sentence can be interpreted in several ways depending on the occasion and the person being addressed."
Luo Tianya glared angrily, while Emmanuel and the others fell silent.
—So, from the heart, it means cowardly.
—It turns out that "from the heart" doesn't necessarily mean literally facing something from the bottom of one's heart.
—It turns out that those who thought they had a deep understanding of the ten major writing systems and languages, and who had been learning Chinese characters and language since childhood, were actually quite different from Sang Ning in terms of their understanding.
—It turns out there's still so much they need to learn.
Learn how to use language to create traps, so that people fall into them without even realizing it, and can't even refute it.
Big Tooth is the best example.
Thinking of this, Emmanuel and the others exchanged glances, ignoring Luo Tianya who was standing there dumbfounded, and clasped their hands together in a respectful bow to Sang Ning.
"Been taught a lesson!"
This is truly a talent. Even without a diploma, even from the impoverished planet E72 where even nutrient solutions are a luxury, even as a primitive human, Sang Ning's knowledge and manners are beyond reproach.
The key is that she can cook and also treat illnesses.
Although they drink dandelion tea or bamboo leaf water all day long, and haven't been given any medical treatment yet, the fact that the food is delicious is enough to make them appreciate it.
"You're too kind!"
Sang Ning returned the greeting, picked up his axe and basket, and said as if he was about to leave, "Don't forget to do the work I assigned you. I'm leaving now."
Where are you going?
"Fire oak trees to make oak barrels for winemaking."
Sang Ning spoke succinctly, and Emmanuel and Elliott promptly stepped forward, saying, "We'll go with you. The oak is too heavy; you won't be able to drag it back once it's felled. We can do the hard labor and help you carry the oak back."
Sang Ning, who had initially wanted to refuse, readily agreed, "Okay, let's go, we'll set off immediately."
Why not take advantage of this free labor? Oak, perfect for making oak barrels...
It would be quite difficult for her to get it back by herself with her strength.
So the three of them said goodbye to everyone and left.
After everyone had gone far away, Mu Tao said quietly, "They clearly agreed to till the land with me, but now I don't have a teammate."
His gaze fell on the grassy area near the woods, and he said with a touch of sadness, "How long would it take me to turn over such a large patch of land by myself?"
As he spoke, he looked at Clyde and Luo Tianya.
The former waved his hand, "Big Peach, don't look at me, I have to go collect salt."
The salt ponds over the volcanic rock can harvest a batch of salt every now and then. Of course, because the process isn't strictly followed, the quality of the salt isn't as good as the salt produced under strict supervision.
But the amount of salt they had prepared earlier was enough to feed so many people for a long time, so the slightly lower quality of the salt wasn't a big problem, since Sang Ning planned to use it to make pickled products and the like.
Therefore, it is necessary to collect salt every few days.
The journey was quite long, and the salt collection was done in shifts according to a schedule; this time it was Clyde's turn.
He took the food that Sang Ning had prepared in advance, slung his basket over his shoulder, and set off with great pride and high spirits.
Therefore, Mu Tao could only rely on Luo Tianya and Louis.
However, neither of them had time.
Luo Tianya said weakly, "I'm going to pick matsutake mushrooms and also get a few wild chickens. We're out of spicy chicken and matsutake mushroom sauce. Without it, the noodles feel like they're missing their soul."
When it comes to food, he gets excited again, "This time I'm going to get some matsutake mushrooms and pheasants, and have Sang Ning make a lot at once."
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed his basket and darted out like lightning, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
Louis shook his head and said to Mu Tao, who was looking at him expectantly, "Big Peach, you can turn the soil yourself. I need to make wooden buckets and basins."
Mu Tao, "!!!"
Mu Tao was in tears and wanted to ask Mo Nainai and Fei Mengluoya for help, but when she turned around, she found that the two of them had already left hand in hand with their baskets on their backs and headed down the mountain.
He said to the audience with a wronged expression, "I seriously suspect that Emmanuel and Elliott are trying to slack off."
Turning the soil is not an easy task; it hurts your hands.
It also hurts your back, because you have to bend over and dig the ground all the time, and your hands are prone to getting blisters.
Bending over for a long time can easily cause back pain, but it's much easier than carrying logs.
"I only regret that I lack the tacit understanding between Emmanuel and Elliott, those two who love and hate each other. If I had any tacit understanding with either of them, I wouldn't be the one turning over the ground today."
The audience couldn't hold back any longer and flooded the screen with comments and criticisms.
[You know there's no teamwork, so stop complaining. It's just turning the soil, no big deal. Get to work; whether we can have vegetables this winter depends on you.]
[That's right, Big Peach, hurry up! Everyone's busy, and you're just babbling on and on. Are you even a proper man? If you don't get moving, you'll be single forever.]
