Chapter 124 The Embarrassment of Not Knowing Where to Start
Su Nuan didn't know what the two had against each other, so she stood between them and said, "If you want to fight, don't do it in my house. There's a large open space outside, you can fight wherever you want."
Lei Wuya and Xiaotian's eyes fell on Su Nuan. Seeing her angry look, they restrained their breath, and the two of them smiled fakely and bowed to each other.
Xiaotian was the first to speak: "My name is Xiaotian, what is your name?"
Lei Wuya said with a fake smile: "He's hiding his true identity and dares not even reveal his name. It seems that the Northern Snow Country has been destroyed. I will go back and seek revenge someday."
Su Nuan had known for a long time that Xiaotian's name was fake, but she felt a little uncomfortable when someone else said it.
She looked at Xiaotian and said, "If the name will cause you trouble, you don't have to say it. It's just a name anyway. I just hope you don't cause us trouble."
Lei Wuya wanted to say something, but Xiaotian looked up at him and said coldly, "I'll say it when it's time to say it. If there's any sign of trouble, I'll disappear."
Lei Wuya chuckled, his face regaining that seductive look, "I'll give you one chance, but I will still go to the Northern Snow Country."
After saying that, he sat down again. His wide cloak covered the stool, which looked a bit weird.
Xiaotian brushed off the frost on his body, walked into the house and sat quietly.
Su Nuan also sat down and asked, "Do you know the climate here? When is it the coldest? When will it snow heavily?"
Lei Wuya said: "The weather before the New Year is good, but after the New Year, there is heavy snow, fog, and even worse storms."
"But the impact here will be much smaller. Hancheng will be directly closed due to heavy snow. Otherwise, I would not restrict food purchases."
Su Nuan nodded, having no idea in her mind. After all, her previous life could be described as nothing, she was only immersed in her own world and complained about everything.
It’s too late to regret now, I can only look forward, but I vaguely remember that there was a snowstorm in the first year I came here, and several people were buried and crushed to death in the snow.
Since it is going to snow heavily, the task of digging the ice cellar must be completed as soon as possible.
She said, "Since you have nothing to do, help me with the work and I will make you something delicious."
Lei Wuya glanced at Su Nuan with a look of disbelief on his face, "You want me to work?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What? Don't you want to detoxify?"
Lei Wuya pursed his lips and asked awkwardly, "Any other requests?"
If Su Nuan asked for mountains of gold and silver and he agreed to it, but he still had to work, it would be too degrading.
Su Nuan sneered, "Even if you give me mountains of gold and silver, I can't spend it. It's better to do hard labor."
Xiaotian didn't show any sign of rejection, he rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What are you doing? I'll do it."
Su Nuan said, "I'm going to dig an ice cellar to store ice and also store prey in it, so that when spring comes and hunting is no longer possible, we won't be without meat."
Lei Wuya waved his hand and said, "I'll provide you with ten pigs, and I won't have to work, okay?"
Su Nuan laughed and said, "No, I just want hard labor."
She paused and then laughed, "Do you think your life is worth ten pigs?"
Lei Wuya was furious but couldn't vent his anger, so he stood up, took off his cloak and asked, "What are you doing? Tell me."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Let's go."
The three of them came to the backyard, and Ling Yun had already started working. He dug a large square pit on the ground. One side of the pit was a slope to make it easier for the ice to slide down.
Su Nuan said, "Xiao Yun, I've found two helpers for you. Take them with you to dig. Dig as much as you can, as long as it doesn't collapse."
"I'm going to the next village to collect some wood planks. You can use them as you see fit. If you can't finish digging today, you can dig for a few more days."
Lei Wuya decided never to come again.
Su Nuan returned to the front yard and led the donkey cart out. The cows could not be let out yet, so she could only use the donkey cart to pull the cows a few more times.
Now Sifang Village is full of snow houses and huge snow piles. Su Nuan found a hidden place to take out the wooden boards and wood in the space. It took thirteen carts to clean up.
Lei Wuya looked at the wooden board and asked, "Did you encounter a giant?"
Su Nuan played dumb, "What giants? The guy selling the planks said they were brought back from the mountains."
As she spoke, she shook her head in disgust, "It's too rough. There's no carpenter to fix it."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan's serious nonsense and laughed in his heart but didn't dare to show it.
Thinking that I still had to pass the level, I rolled up my sleeves and worked hard.
Originally Lei Wuya was hesitant, but when he saw the precious Xiao Lingtian working, he felt like competing with him, so he started to take it seriously.
Su Nuan went to prepare the ingredients. She thought it was too troublesome, so she just sliced all the meats. Then she would light the charcoal stove, put on the small pot, and eat them while boiling.
I remember that in my previous life there was a restaurant that served food this way, and it was very popular. However, those who were particular would have their own pot per person.
Su Nuan used large bones to make the base of the pot and prepared two kinds of dipping sauces, one was ordinary and non-spicy, and the other was made with red peppers peeled from the peppers grown in the space.
After everything was ready, Su Nuan saw that it was almost dark, and thought that it would be good enough if the three of them could dig the entrance. But when she went to the backyard, she was surprised to see that they had not only dug the entire ice cellar, but had even erected wood with wooden boards on top.
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "How...are you digging so fast?"
The three of them looked pale, which was obviously a sign of excessive use of internal energy.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "I thought I'd finish it quickly so I can eat."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, it's time to eat. Is this ice cellar finished?"
Although the four walls were not made of wooden boards, the wall surface was smooth and had been brushed with water. Now that they were frozen, they would not fall apart.
The entire ice cellar is divided into two rooms, the smaller one on the left and the larger one on the right, probably according to the length of the roof wooden boards.
The right board is ten feet long, the right is twenty feet long, and the depth is about a hundred feet."
Su Nuan asked curiously, "I didn't bring back so many planks. Where did you get them?"
Ling Yun coughed dryly and replied with a stifled laugh, "They used their internal energy to split them. Some of the planks were too thick, so splitting them in half was just right."
Su Nuan, “…”
It’s great to know martial arts, yes, it’s really great.
She touched her nose and said, "Go wash up and eat, I'll take a look."
The three of them were indeed tired, so they went out to wash.
Su Nuan used a dagger to dig a hole in the pillar and embedded the night pearl into it. This kind of cold light was just right for the ice cellar.
She extinguished the torch; the light inside was more than sufficient.
The ice cellar is now ready for use, and Su Nuan left the ice cellar with satisfaction.
But when she got to the top, she frowned again. Such a large open hole needed to be covered with something, otherwise it would be filled with snow.
She looked up at the sky and thought it wouldn't snow, so she would talk about it tomorrow.
When they returned to the house, the three of them had already finished washing and were sitting next to the charcoal stove, staring at the pot in a daze. One could see the embarrassment on their faces as they didn't know where to start.
