Chapter 147: Family Gossip
The space spirit was silent for a moment and then said, "That's an active volcano. There's a huge pool of magma inside the mountain. It might erupt at any time."
Su Nuan didn't know what a volcano was, but he had seen similar records about angry fire dragons.
A red fire dragon jumped out from the top of the mountain, and no grass grew within a hundred miles.
Her heart couldn't help but tremble, and she murmured to herself, "Will my plan to develop a city in the north be in vain? Once the city is built, won't it be burned to ashes once the fire dragon appears?"
The Space Spirit asked, "How far is it?"
Su Nuan didn't know how to measure it, so she said, "That mountain is quite far away. From here, we have to cross eight hills, and it's the ninth one."
"Hmm...if you ask me to estimate it visually, I really can't tell."
The space spirit laughed and said, "Then what are you afraid of? If it erupts, at most it will blow some volcanic ash over here. Volcanic ash is also very good fertilizer. Maybe it can improve the barren land here."
Su Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't look forward to the volcano erupting, because she felt that such a warm place must have something magical.
Space Spirit Sword Su Nuan said nothing and asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you still worried?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, I'm thinking about how to catch a big bird and take me over to take a look."
The space spirit stopped talking, as it couldn't help with this matter.
Su Nuan withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the cliff below her feet.
The top of the cliff is very flat, and I don't know how the devil formed it.
The cliff was not as thick as she had imagined, so she walked to the other side and looked down.
The lower half is a vertical cliff, but the lower half is a gentle slope that stretches for a long distance.
The amazing thing is that the land surrounded by cliffs is very flat and stretches endlessly into the distance.
If a hole is dug in the cliff, people in the north can live in the flat area behind the cliff.
And this cliff can perfectly block the danger of future volcanic eruptions.
It’s not that easy to dig a tunnel unless you make tools out of animal bones.
Seeing Su Nuan in a daze, the space spirit asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Nuan replied, "I'm thinking of building the outer city close to the cliff in the future, and then building the main city behind the cliff. The empty city in front will be used to confuse the enemy."
The Space Spirit said, "That's a nice thought."
Su Nuan, “…”
If you can't finish it now, can't you think about it? You have to plan before you can take action.
The Space Spirit smiled and said, "You should first solve the current crisis, such as housing and land!"
Su Nuan scratched her hair in annoyance. It turned out that her wishful thinking was too good to be true. The many difficulties before her had not been solved yet.
She looked down at the herbs on the inner cliff. They were similar to those outside, so she decided to keep them for now and collect the herbs outside first.
She stood up and searched along the edge of the cliff, collecting only valuable medicines. If she turned into a humanoid spider, it would take more than a month to collect all the herbs.
She returned home before dark.
Seeing Su Nuan coming back with a basket on her back, Xue smiled and asked, "Are you out gathering again?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, if there's nothing else to do after leaving the military camp, I'll collect some medicinal herbs."
Xue took the basket and asked naturally, "What should I do with it? You teach me."
Su Nuan nodded, "We'll deal with it together after dinner. Some need to be sliced, and some need to be cleaned and dried."
Xue put the basket aside and said, "Okay, wash your hands and eat."
Su Nuan noticed that Li Shitou was not there, "Where is Li Shitou?"
Xue said, "He sent someone to say that if he couldn't come for dinner, he would come tomorrow at noon."
Su Nuan said "oh", and she still had to eat the meal whether he was there or not.
After dinner, Su Nuan took Xue and the others to process the medicinal materials.
Then she found Ling Cang. Ling Cang was now able to sit with pillows under his knees to keep his legs bent. He couldn't keep his legs flat all the time.
When he saw Su Nuan come in, he smiled and said, "I'm much better."
Su Nuan nodded, lifted the quilt and pinched his bones. The river water could indeed speed up people's recovery and enhance the efficacy of medicine.
She covered herself with the quilt and said with a smile, "That's really good. People who practice martial arts are different from ordinary people."
Ling Cang knew Su Nuan a little bit, and he felt that her smile was full of calculation.
He put down the book in his hand and asked, "Is there something wrong? Just say it!"
Su Nuan touched her nose and asked, "Is there something written on my face?"
Ling Cang laughed, and his resolute face softened. He nodded lovingly, "Yes, I wrote it."
Su Nuan chuckled, "The village chief of our Sifang Village has run away, and Li Shitou wants you to take over."
"First, you're scary in person. A serious expression on your face can make people tremble in their hearts."
"Secondly, you know Kung Fu. Even if you can't move, you can still kill someone with a stone."
"Third, you are my husband. He is more trustworthy and we can discuss important matters together."
Ling Cang glanced at Su Nuan sideways, "Do you think these are compliments to me?"
Su Nuan touched her nose and thought about it. It didn’t seem like a compliment, but what she said was the truth.
Ling Cang sighed, "Do you want me to be the village chief?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Of course I can, but I wonder if it would be troublesome for you. After all, there are a lot of trivial matters in this family."
After saying this, she gave a dry laugh. This was really unladylike.
Ling Cang didn't care about these things. He just thought Su Nuan was cute and straightforward now. "I'm not afraid of trouble. It's just that I have difficulty walking. I can't always be carried by others."
Su Nuan stared at Ling Cang's legs for a long time, and finally nodded seriously, "Well, I know, I'll find a way."
After saying that, Su Nuan left the room.
Ling Cang's eyes dimmed. He still needed a long time to recover, and it was annoying that he couldn't help at all during this period.
When Xiao Lingyun entered the room, she saw Ling Cang's eyes filled with anger. She asked cautiously, "What... do you need?"
Ling Cang suppressed his emotions, sighed, and said, "I just feel frustrated that I can't help."
Little Lingyun immediately sat down beside him and counseled him, "How can you not help? You work every day, too. No one in the Ling family eats for free."
"Even that rooster crows every day, working diligently."
Ling Cang found it funny when he heard this, "That's its nature."
Xiao Lingyun shook his head, "No, originally the rooster slept after eating and ate after sleeping. Su Nuan stood by the chicken coop and said..."
She stood up, one hand on her waist, one pointing forward, and said, imitating Su Nuan's demeanor, "You, I'm talking about you. No one in our Ling family eats for free. If you don't crow tomorrow, I will stew you."
Ling Cang looked at her and chuckled. This was something Su Nuan could do.
No wonder I heard a rooster crowing in the morning. I thought someone in the village was raising chickens.
Seeing that he smiled, little Lingyun started to act funny again to entertain Ling Cang.
When Xue opened the curtain, she saw the interaction between the two people in the room. Her body stiffened and she lowered the curtain again.
She found the old lady with mixed feelings.
The old lady has been the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Xue for so long, so she has some understanding of what Xue is like.
Looking at Xue's face, I knew she was worried. "What's wrong with you?"
