Chapter 190 Ex-boyfriend arrived in the North
Su Nuan suppressed her laughter and said, "I need a lot of rope ladders, about one ladder per battle."
Xue asked, "Is it so that you can climb up and down the cliffs to build houses?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, it's quite necessary."
Xue asked, "Why not just make it longer? Otherwise, we'll have to connect it."
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, no, the longer the rope is, the easier it is to break. It will be safer if we separate it this way."
Xue nodded in sudden realization, "Okay, we know what to do."
Su Nuan glanced at Li Fengxing and the others, "Don't just stand there, help cut the wood."
Li Fengxing actually nodded obediently, and the others did not refute him. It was so obedient that it seemed a little unreal.
After Su Nuan gave her the task, she began to think about where to fix the rope ladder and where to dig a hole and embed the wood as a support point.
Once things are planned, the follow-up will be put on the agenda.
Su Nuan took the opportunity to "borrow" ropes from other tribes and took out a lot of strong ropes and chains from the space.
The temperature has risen rapidly in recent days. Su Nuan was afraid that the water from upstream would suddenly rush down, so she urged the villagers to work.
Of course, she went out hunting to ensure that the villagers had enough to eat. After all, only when they were full would they have the strength to work.
The final staircase is located in the middle and is zigzag-shaped, with each corner corresponding to a platform. This way, the height difference between the upper and lower levels is widened, and people will not feel depressed when walking.
In this way, each platform can be supported by placing six thick wooden logs horizontally, and thin tree trunks are laid flat between the wooden logs.
On top of the raft is a simple fence house with the outer walls simply covered with mud to block the wind.
Su Nuan recalled that there was no rain in the first three months of spring, which was a good thing as there was no need to worry about the rain destroying the house.
The houses were built from top to bottom. When two rows of houses at the highest point were built, Cheng Feng finally arrived with the team.
But they did not come to the cliff, but settled near the military camp.
When Su Nuan was delivering the prey to Li Shitou that day, she happened to see a person slumped on the ground in the yard.
She quickly retracted her steps and observed secretly.
Zhao Jingcheng's entire family arrived in the north, from the sixty-year-old grandmother to the twelve-year-old granddaughter.
Zhao Jingcheng's father is the Minister of War. He usually likes to pinch his mustache and look at people with contempt. Now his mustache has become a messy grass beard, and the contemptuous look has disappeared, replaced by confusion and decadence.
Su Nuan was very curious about how their family was exiled.
Zhao Jingcheng no longer had the charm he once had. His eyes were sunken, his skin was rough, and his body was very dirty.
Cuddled together behind him were Zhao's grandmother, Zhou, mistress Qin, and Qin's daughter, Zhao Zhenzhu.
Su Nuan touched his chin and saw that the three female relatives didn't seem to have suffered much, but were shivering from the cold.
Cheng Feng was the same as usual, lecturing these people with a whip.
"You are all exiled prisoners. Now that you are here, you must obey and work obediently. If there are any fights or robbing of rations, I will send you to the quarry to do hard labor until you die of exhaustion."
He started to call out names from the roster. Su Nuan heard a name outside that sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"Muxue? Sounds familiar. When have I seen her before? Never mind. I'll know later."
Su Nuan was muttering outside the door and didn't notice Li Shitou coming over.
Then Li Shitou said happily: "What a fat wild boar! I can have a good meal now."
Su Nuan quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, "Shh..."
Li Shitou shrank his neck and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Su Nuan pointed inside and asked, "When did these people arrive?"
Li Shitou said, "I just arrived not long ago. What's up? Do you know anyone there?"
"Friend or enemy? If you are an enemy, I will help you..."
He made a knife gesture with his hand across his neck.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I have an enemy, but you don't have to do it. I'll do it myself and feel better."
Li Shitou was silent for a moment and then said, "Then try not to kill him. No matter how angry you are, you must keep some breath. I will kill him when the time comes."
"If you kill someone in your current position, your sentence will be increased. It's not a good place to stay in the stone quarry. There are many scorpions and centipedes."
Su Nuan knew he was kind-hearted, so she asked with a smile, "If you die of anger, would that count as murder?"
Li Shitou scratched his head. This kind of situation has never happened before. Does it count as being angry to death?
"This... let's ask the boss."
He seemed to remember something and said excitedly, "My uncle got promoted. He's now a commander. I don't know his rank, but I heard he's on par with the city guard here."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow. Commander? That was the highest-ranking officer in charge of the troops in that area, and the city defenders sometimes had to listen to him.
Li Shitou added, "It is said that many are still on the way. Will our northern region be filled with exiled prisoners?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "The place is big. I'm not afraid of people coming. I'm just afraid of no one coming."
A city cannot be supported by just two or three hundred people; it needs a larger population.
These are all labor forces, who would feel there is a shortage of people?
The space spirit sent her a message, "Why don't you get some poison and feed one to each of them, and give them the antidote on time? This way, they will surely be as obedient as grandchildren."
Su Nuan was at a loss for words. The idea was good, but it wasn't going to go that far, and it would even leave hidden dangers.
The human heart is the most difficult to guess, so don't use extreme measures unless you have no other choice.
She responded in her mind: "Don't worry, I have ways to make them obedient. Of course, some people won't be so obedient, and I can use extraordinary means to tame them."
These individuals include Zhao Jingcheng and others.
Li Shitou suddenly said, "These people seem very dissatisfied. We need to deal with them for a while."
Su Nuan asked, "Do you have enough food to feed them?"
Li Shitou sighed, "Since we're here, we can't starve to death. We can eat tree bark and grass roots."
Su Nuan nodded. "Well, then I don't care. The people over there all work in exchange for food."
The two of them were chatting quietly, but Zhao Jingcheng somehow recognized Su Nuan's voice.
He rushed to the door and shouted, "Su Nuan, it's me. Are you okay? I miss you so much."
He had shackles on his hands and feet, and he couldn't walk fast, so Cheng Feng whipped him to the ground.
Su Nuan glanced at Li Shitou and said, "I'm going back first. I'll come back in two days."
She didn't want to meet Zhao Jingcheng yet because she was dressed stupidly today. She would dress up nicely another day.
Li Shitou asked, "Aunt, are you going back?"
Zhao Jingcheng was stunned when he heard this. Aunt? This young man must be about sixteen or seventeen years old. If she is his aunt, then she is definitely not Su Nuan.
Su Nuan deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Yeah."
Li Shitou smiled and said, "I'll give it to you."
Su Nuan waved her hand and quickly whispered something into Li Shitou's ear.
Li Shitou reacted quickly. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Don't worry, I promise to get it done."
