Chapter 162 How many people will die of greed
She quickly looked away. Either of these two people was scary enough on their own, and when they were together, they looked like they were in cahoots with each other.
Xue whispered, "Are we going to keep those two as worshippers too? They look sickly, they won't die here, will they?"
Su Nuan quickly comforted him, "No, no, you definitely won't die here."
Li Fengxing and Lei Wuya supported each other as they walked towards Su Nuan. Hearing this, they looked at each other. Their eyes were full of confidence, and they felt that Su Nuan would definitely not abandon them.
However, Su Nuan's next words brought them to the bottom.
Su Nuan said confidently, "Don't worry, I will keep them away from death."
The two were petrified on the spot. After a while, they turned around silently and supported each other to draw circles in the corner.
Su Nuan looked at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, and was laughing in her heart.
She continued, "In our Ling family, no one eats for free. If you eat, you have to work."
Xue was already laughing non-stop because of Su Nuan's amusement. She finally managed to stop laughing and said, "Okay, I understand."
The old lady looked at Su Nuan with a smile. This child is clear-headed. She is not too kind-hearted, nor will she stand by and watch someone in need. That's good.
Seeing that the porridge was cooked, Su Nuan sprinkled some salt and said, "Let's eat. One bowl per person. No more."
Ling Yun was unhappy, "That's it?"
Su Nuan nodded, "That's it, eat it if you want, there's snow outside, you can do whatever you want."
Ling Yun shut up, feeling that his sister-in-law didn't like him.
He looked at Ling Cang. Ling Yun was very calm, as if this fierce woman was not his wife.
Ling Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, my sister-in-law is not a lady at all, don't you dislike it?"
Ling Cang glanced sideways, "Would you despise your savior? Besides, my wife is the best. She's the only one who despises me, not me."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Did you hear that? Put your little thoughts aside, or I won't mind throwing you out."
Ling Yun touched his nose and saw the flowers on Su Nuan's head and asked, "Are those fresh flowers? How is that possible? Are you a fairy?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "I'm a goblin, what if you find out? How about stewing you? I'm short of meat."
Ling Yun quickly retreated and hid behind Ling Cang.
After Xue distributed the food, everyone ate in silence.
Ling Yun was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to eat it or not. Finally, he compromised and took a sip. The porridge turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. He licked the bowl clean after eating so much.
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "You're lucky."
The porridge with river water can strengthen the body, so it’s a bargain for this outsider.
Ling Yun chuckled, "It's just a bowl of porridge, how can you say it's a bargain for me? How about I go hunting tomorrow and let you eat meat?"
He didn't know that his identity had been exposed.
Su Nuan shook her head, "Now is not the time to eat meat, unless you roast it outside and bring it back."
Ling Yun asked in confusion: "Why?"
Su Nuan raised her hand and pointed, "Look, there are so many people here. If you were to barbecue in the cave, how many people would die of hunger?"
Ling Yun sneered, "I will kill anyone who dares to rob me."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "I saved these people with great effort. If you kill them again, what am I?"
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan and said, "Your work is in vain."
Su Nuan, “…” She was so angry that she wanted to beat someone up again.
"Ah!" Ling Yun suddenly shouted and jumped up.
Su Nuan looked down and saw the fat white rabbit baring its teeth.
She patted the rabbit quickly and said, "Go back and don't let anyone see you, or I'll roast you."
Mrs. Xue looked at the white rabbit and said worriedly, "We have so many animals at home, I don't know if it ran away."
Su Nuan quickly comforted her, "Mom, I let them all out. Maybe they have already run away to other places to survive."
"If fate allows, they will come back when it warms up."
Xue didn't suspect anything, and said with a sigh of relief, "That's good. I've been raising her for so long that I've become attached to her."
The old lady glanced at Su Nuan and smiled, "It'll be fine. Animals tend to seek benefits and avoid harm."
Xue nodded without saying anything more.
Su Nuan looked away. "I'll go check over there. We need to build a toilet. Otherwise, it's all inside the cave... It smells bad, and it can easily make people sick."
Xue stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go too."
In fact, she was in a hurry and had been looking for a place to relieve herself.
The two of them walked along the middle road to the other side, where the coffin looked quite eerie.
Xue couldn't help but hold Su Nuan's arm tightly. "This coffin looks very old. Who is buried here?"
She looked at it carefully and said, "Look, it's all talisman paper. Could it be the bride in red?"
Su Nuan was stunned. "A female ghost in red?"
This is a good idea. At night when they are half asleep and half awake, I can put on red clothes and walk around here for a few times, then disappear into space. Those villagers will be so scared that they won't dare to fart.
This is more effective than beating them and can help restrain them from making noise.
Seeing Su Nuan in a daze, Xue asked, "What are you thinking about? Where do you think would be a good place to be a toilet?"
Su Nuan pointed to the diagonal corner of the coffin and said, "There's a groove there. Let me dig it in."
She had the bone shovel with her when she arrived, so she went over and dug out a small room.
An oil lamp or torch can be placed on the wall of the room.
There are squat toilets dug on the ground. With so many people, the daily output is quite high, so it is a big pitfall for the children.
Xue was the first person to visit the toilet. She said, "Wouldn't it be disrespectful to dig a toilet next to the coffin?
Su Nuan hadn't thought about this question. She said, "We still have a piece of oilcloth. Let's cover it up."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked back whispering to each other. When they passed by Zhao Dayou, Su Nuan stopped.
She said, "Brother Zhao, I dug a toilet inside. Tell them not to mess around. Go to the toilet and line them up. I'll clean it once a day."
Zhao Da nodded, "Okay, you guys can take a rest after digging. I will discuss this matter with your village chief."
Su Nuan nodded and said nothing more.
Xue returned to the resting place and asked, "How are you going to sleep tonight?"
Su Nuan pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "Let's share the bunk. We don't have the right to be pretentious. We're all wearing clothes, so we're not afraid of being seen."
"At this moment, my life is almost gone, why should I care about my reputation?"
Xue hesitated for a moment, but had to admit that Su Nuan was right.
The old lady said, "If you are really shy, you can sleep inside and I will sleep in the middle. I am not afraid."
Su Nuan chuckled, "I'll arrange it."
She returned to the coffin holding a torch, took out a few bamboo poles from the space, and found a piece of dry firewood as thick as an arm and as long as a thigh to take back.
Zhao Dayou saw Su Nuan and asked, "Will the person inside get up and chat?"
Su Nuan was startled for a moment, then reacted in the next moment, "Just now, when I went to get bamboo poles and wood, the coffin lid made a clattering sound, as if it might really come out to chat."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the crying and cursing stopped abruptly.
