Chapter 373: The Dog That Beats the Dog with a Meat Bun
While Su Nuan was recalling, Ling Cang and Ling Yun had already moved the turtle shell to the cave entrance.
Because the turtle shell is so huge, it is impossible to tell that it is just an empty shell when placed at the bottom of the cave.
Maybe those peeping people were scared to death as soon as they showed up, after all, the deaths of those who were bitten to death were so tragic.
Su Nuan looked up at the burning firebird and said, "It seems that it can't hold on for much longer and is about to go out."
Ling Cang said nonchalantly, "It's okay. By the time the fire goes out, we've already moved everything inside the cave."
Su Nuan looked at the two of them, anticipation in her eyes, thinking to herself, "You guys should get out. I haven't even looked at the underground tomb passage yet."
However, Ling Cang interpreted Su Nuan's expectant look as something else. He smiled and said, "I know you like shiny things. I'll hide the treasure bowl for you and put it in your yard to raise fish."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Why raise fish? So many gems are very beautiful, it would be nice to pile them in there. If you don't like gems, you can make some more gold ingots and pile them in."
Su Nuan: "..." Although it was not what she expected, it sounded nice.
She nodded and said, "Okay, but how many people can these things support? Is it enough to support an army that can attack the capital?"
She just wanted to confirm the rumors from her previous life. At that time, some people said that Ling Yun was able to rebel so quickly because he got a treasure.
If the rumors are true, then what was seen this time should have been discovered by Ling Yun and used to recruit soldiers.
As expected, Ling Yun said, "It's enough. Rich people like rare gems. Any one of those gems can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Su Nuan got the answer and said with a smile: "Then sell them all and make money to recruit soldiers."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan in surprise, "You don't want to keep it?"
There is no woman who doesn't love gems, especially such big and beautiful ones.
Ling Cang said, "Nuannuan wants to recruit people for Sifang City?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, we only have so many people now. It will take a long time to build a city. Time waits for no one. Recruiting more people will speed up the process."
"Also, build the city wall first. A hollow wall will make it much faster."
"As for the inner city, the walls will be compacted with sand and then paved with stone bricks. Beacon towers will also need to be built. This is a precautionary measure."
In fact, there is only Sifang City now, and the other surrounding cities are too far away. Even if the signal smoke is lit, there is no one to support it. We can only build it first to avoid the trouble of installing it later.
Ling Cang wrote it down carefully, "Okay, I understand."
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she continued to look at them with anticipation. Why didn’t they leave yet?
Ling Yun asked, "Why don't you dig anymore? Do you want to dig together?"
Su Nuan, “…”
Forget it, let’s just dig. We’ll know what’s underneath if we go in and take a look. Just think of it as opening a blind box.
"Then... dig."
The three of them began to dig the floor tiles, but the area with exposed wood underneath was not big enough, so they could only crawl down with difficulty.
Su Nuan looked at the two pieces of wood that had been dug out and asked, "Why is there only wood here?"
Ling Cang replied, "They probably knew it was too close to the top and were afraid it might collapse, so they used wood to prop it up."
Su Nuan nodded, but still felt something was wrong.
Ling Cang threw the torch down, and the flame dimmed until it was almost extinguished, but slowly became stronger again.
He said, "Looking at the distance, it should be nine feet, which is quite high."
Ling Yun nodded, "It might not be a simple tomb passage."
Everything we say now is just speculation. The air below is not circulating. We can only go down after it is fully circulated.
Ling Yun threw a few more torches down. Although the burning flames would consume oxygen, the heat flow would also drive the air inside to flow.
Ling Cang scraped the dug-out wood with a dagger. The wood was five feet long. Excluding the two feet supported by the pillars, it could be seen that the tomb passage was three feet wide.
"This is golden nanmu. There are many such trees in the north."
When they first came to the north, they cut wood, and they cut golden nanmu. At that time, he thought there was only a small piece, but it seems that is not the case.
Su Nuan asked, "Is this kind of wood easy to sell?"
Ling Cang nodded. "It sells well because it has a golden sheen after polishing and beautiful wood grain."
Su Nuan nodded. "Although I grew up in a wealthy family, I really don't understand what's so good about these pieces of wood that they're worth exchanging for so much gold and silver."
"Although I know that the lives of ordinary people are not as simple as having enough food and clothing, I also know that to have enough food and clothing you need money, but the rich are willing to spend a lot of money on things like this that are neither edible nor drinkable."
Ling Cang laughed and said, "You also said that life is not as simple as having enough food and clothing. What those rich people want is the feeling of spending money lavishly."
Ling Yun said with disdain: "The Yuan Kingdom was corrupted by these people."
Su Nuan didn't say anything. There were many things she couldn't understand, but she wouldn't waste her time trying to figure them out. She just wanted to focus on the things in front of her.
While waiting, Su Nuan took out a few buns from her backpack and roasted them next to the fire.
The aroma of the meat buns began to waft. Ling Yun sniffed and teased, "You're such a greedy little cat. What else do you have in your bun?"
Su Nuan said disdainfully: "Steamed buns, one for each person, no more."
The bun is very big and has plenty of filling, so one is enough to fill you up, but Lingyun has a big appetite, so two is enough.
Su Nuan gave Ling Cang the golden-brown steamed buns and said, "Husband, eat some buns."
Ling Cang nodded, took the bun and started eating.
Ling Yun was waiting for Su Nuan to hand over the bun, but Su Nuan turned her little hand and put the bun into her own mouth, completely ignoring Ling Yun.
Ling Cang looked at them with a smile. They were still teenagers, and the relationship developed through playing and fighting would be stronger.
At this moment, Ling Cang felt like an old father, a little worried and concerned.
Ling Yun's impression of Su Nuan has now completely changed. He will no longer look down on her, but he doesn't respect her much either. He thinks Su Nuan is just a smarter woman.
He said, "Bring more next time. One bun is not enough."
After saying that, he reached out to grab another bun.
Su Nuan glared and reached out to grab the bun, "There's no portion for you in the first place, go out and eat."
Ling Yun felt wronged. Su Nuan was so gentle when he was pretending to be stupid before, why was she so fierce now?
Ling Cang smiled and said, "I'm not hungry yet. One is enough. Let him eat it, otherwise he won't have the energy to work soon."
Su Nuan said disdainfully: "Okay."
Ling Yun held the bun that Su Nuan threw to him, and suddenly felt like a dog being hit by a meat bun!
Ling Cang was also stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Su Nuan was a little confused and didn't know what was so funny about him.
Ling Yun took a big bite of the bun to vent his anger.
After the three of them finished eating, Ling Cang observed the tomb passage and said, "We can go down now."
