Chapter 123 Lei Wuya is a guest
After a while, the old lady took out a flat box from under her bed. When she opened it, she found a pair of bracelets as transparent as water.
Su Nuan asked curiously, "Grandma, where did you hide this bracelet? How did you get it out?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Don't worry about how I brought it out. This is something passed down from my mother-in-law's mother-in-law. It's only passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law."
"You two are both eldest daughters-in-law, so each of you has one. Take it."
Su Nuan pushed the box to Xue, "Mother, you take it."
The smile on Xue's face froze, "You... don't want it?"
Could it be that Su Nuan still wants to leave and doesn't want to be the daughter-in-law of the Ling family for the rest of her life?
Su Nuan smiled and said, "They say it's passed down from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, so of course it was you who gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Xue quickly picked up the bracelet and put it on, then took it off and put it on Su Nuan.
"Here, I've worn it before, and now I'm passing it on to you."
Su Nuan chuckled. It would be better to keep such things in the space, otherwise people would definitely be jealous if they saw them.
"Okay, this is mine, you are not allowed to regret it."
The old lady and Mrs. Xue looked at each other and smiled, and the smile was full of deep meaning.
Su Nuan didn't understand and just thought they were laughing happily.
The old lady changed the subject. "Since we're going to dig a cellar, let's choose a place. Even though it's cold now, if we dig a little bit every day, we can finish it before spring."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go find Li Shitou tomorrow and ask him to find some tools for me."
Xue asked, "Will Li Shitou be in charge of us from now on? Does the city guard have any other requests? For example, asking us to do hard labor?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "There are no requirements. Just chop wood. Golden nanmu is very expensive. It's enough to make them rich."
Xue nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then we will do what we should do."
Su Nuan thought about it and told Ling Yun that he was leaving. "Mom, Xiao Yun will be away for a while."
Xue was not surprised. "Don't worry about him. He will find a replacement after he leaves. Outsiders won't be able to tell."
Su Nuan's eyes widened as she asked, "Then why don't you find a few more and run away together?"
Xue glanced sideways, "Where are you running to? It's the same wherever you go. It's better to settle down here now."
Su Nuan thought about it carefully and felt that it was true. The cities outside were not as safe as the north.
"I understand. Since you don't mind, I don't mind either. But we can't leave all the tree-cutting work to Xiaotian. After all, he is an outsider."
When Xue heard Su Nuan say Xiaotian was an outsider, she felt relieved. She was afraid that Su Nuan would think Xiaotian was at a disadvantage in his work, which would mean that Su Nuan liked Xiaotian and was protecting him.
She smiled and said, "Of course not. I'll talk to Xiaoyun tomorrow and he'll make the arrangements."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, now I'll look for a location. This cellar can't be near the well."
Xue stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put on their outer robes and came to the yard, which was now divided equally between the front and the back, with their house as the boundary.
Su Nuan came to the back and felt that the place was very large, enough to build ten houses.
She took some arrows and began to divide the area, and soon she had the housing area marked out.
It can be considered a two-courtyard house. The main room in the second courtyard can be used as a guest room. There is a patio at the entrance, and it looks like a quadrangle courtyard overall.
There is a river on the right, a cliff on the left, and a road in the direction of the door.
Then the ice cellar is on the left, and it is convenient to transport ice while there is no courtyard wall.
Su Nuan explained what she meant, and Xue nodded in agreement.
She marked the cellar door with four arrows. "Okay, here it is. We can dig down."
Ling Yun then walked over and said, "Leave the cellar to me. I'll dig it out as quickly as possible, but you guys will need to transport the ice."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, are you leaving after digging the cellar?"
Ling Yun nodded, "Yes."
Su Nuan didn't care about his indifference and asked, "What do you need me to prepare for you? Medicine or something?"
Ling Yun opened his mouth but said nothing.
Xue smiled and said, "No need to prepare anything. If there are any ready-made medicines, just bring some to him."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
There are a lot of medicinal herbs on the cliff, and I should go collect some, but unfortunately I didn’t find any useful birds.
She looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's cook. We can think about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."
Xue nodded, "Okay."
Everyone went to bed early after dinner.
After dawn, Lingyun and Xiaotian went to chop wood again, while Su Nuan came to the cliff with a rope and a few pig-killing hooks.
There are some cracks on the cliff, and you can climb up a distance using a hook.
Su Nuan collected some medicinal herbs. Although she could see herbs higher up, she couldn't climb up because the higher she went, the smoother the stones became, and there were no gaps to place hooks.
She sighed and said, "If only I had wings, I could just fly up."
The space spirit said: "Pheasants can fly too."
Su Nuan shook her head. "Forget it. If I catch a pheasant that has gained intelligence, I won't be able to face other pheasants in the future. Wouldn't that ruin my own enjoyment?"
Space Spirit was speechless. He never expected to be rejected with such a reason.
Su Nuan touched his chin and muttered to himself, "I wonder what happened to those giants. Did they get new wooden boards?"
She curled her lips and smiled, "Let's go and take a look. If I get new wood planks, I'll come back to search for them."
The space spirit asked, "You can't just pluck the wool from a sheep, what if they run away?"
Su Nuan didn't care, "Just run..."
She brought the herbs home, and before she even entered the door, she saw an exquisite carriage parked in the yard. It wasn't hers, so could there be guests?
She entered the main room and saw an evil face.
Su Nuan rubbed her eyes and opened them again. The evildoer's face became clearer.
"Why are you here?"
The person who came was Lei Wuya, the lord of Hancheng. The traces of poison on his face had been reduced a lot, but he was still as charming as ever.
Lei Wuya was wearing a dark-colored fox fur cloak. When he stood up, his shadow completely enveloped Su Nuan, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
He smiled and said, "I'll come to see you, okay?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Are you here to see if I'm dead?"
Lei Wuya was not angry either, he smiled and said: "Your medicine is useful."
Su Nuan asked back: "Then what? Are you here to thank me by giving me money? Or are you here to give me meat?"
Lei Wuya was stunned. "Do you want to give me money and meat? You didn't say anything. I didn't give you anything."
Su Nuan drove him away in disgust, "Go away, go away. My temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you."
Lei Wuya's face suddenly turned cold, and a chill emanated from his whole body.
Su Nuan frowned. Are you angry already?
She looked up and found that Lei Wuya was not looking at her. So, if the cold air was not directed at her, who was it?
She turned around and saw Xiaotian who had just walked in. His face was not good, and even full of murderous intent!
