Chapter 432: Poaching, I Like It
The space spirit pointed at the man and shouted, "Why don't you hit him?"
The snake still ignored him and continued to sleep.
Su Nuan looked at the angry Space Spirit. She could only pick a peach and stuff it into the Space Spirit's pocket. "Here, eat it."
The space spirit was angry, so it threw the peach up, then tilted its head back and conjured a huge mouth to swallow the peach in one gulp.
Su Nuan, “…” How terrifying.
The person holding the box was Hai Lan. He placed the box on the ground and said, "If the space spirit eats freely, the fruits here will not be enough to fill her stomach. Naturally, she cannot eat them."
Su Nuan felt that this was the truth, and she asked, "Why are you carrying the fruit by yourself?"
Hailan pointed at the boxes and said, "These are going to be canned fruit, but we're running low on sugar, so we need to find something to make sugar."
Su Nuan nodded, "We don't have sugarcane seeds."
Hai Lan nodded. "The fruits here are very sweet, so they don't really need sugar. But the fruits outside do, and we'll need sugar to make wine in the future."
Su Nuan quickly reviewed the knowledge in her mind. Sugarcane grows in warm places, and she wondered if there would be any on the other side of the Flaming Mountain.
"I'll go look for it."
She left the space and called Feixue to fly towards the Flame Mountain.
The new knowledge says that sugarcane looks like bamboo, with sections. The plant used to make sugar in the north is beet, which looks like carrot. It is not easy to find because it is buried underground.
Su Nuan asked Feixue to fly low, but after searching for several times, he still couldn't find the sugarcane.
She sighed, "Forget it, let's go back."
Feixue was also afraid of the heat, so when she heard the instruction to go back, she immediately turned around and flew back.
But it was still too hot, so it had to land at the foot of the mountain to drink water.
Seeing how pitiful it looked, Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'll take you in. After you've rested, I'll let the space spirit let you out."
Feixue nodded happily.
Su Nuan put away Feixue. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to take a stroll in the mountains.
There is a small pond here. Judging from the traces around it, it used to be quite large, but now two-thirds of it has evaporated.
The pond is full of fish, struggling to survive in the murky water.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'll take you in. Whether it's for food or for survival, it's better than dying here in the sun."
She collected all the fish in the pond into the river in the space, leaving some water, and perhaps other animals would come to drink it.
She walked around the pond and into a patch of weeds.
After walking for a while, the space spirit came out and said, "Are you blind? Isn't that sugar cane?"
Su Nuan turned her head and saw the space spirit pointing at a pile of tall weeds. Was that sugarcane?
"The new knowledge says that sugarcane is segmented like bamboo and grows very tall. Is this pile of weeds, which is not even as tall as my waist, sugarcane?"
The space spirit said helplessly: "There are two kinds of sugarcane, one with black skin and the other with green skin. The green skin looks like bamboo."
"This is obviously black skin, but it has low nutrients and grows densely, so it is thin and short."
Su Nuan walked over and pulled it apart. Behind the dry, long leaves, there was indeed a black stem, only as thick as a finger, with dense nodules.
She cut a piece with a dagger, peeled off the skin and took a bite. It tasted sweet, but more of a sour and tingling taste.
"Pah, it's not tasty."
The space spirit nodded, "This kind of thing definitely won't taste good. Plant it properly and keep the spacing. It will taste good once it grows up."
Su Nuan took out a hoe and started digging.
The space spirit asked, "Why are you digging it up? Just find something with seed buds and cut it down so you can plant it."
Su Nuan nodded. "I know, but I'm going to dig it up and plant it behind the cliff. Then I'll plant some more cultivated sugarcane. That way, they'll think it's all wild."
The space spirit said helplessly: "What a hassle."
Su Nuan also felt it was troublesome, but after what happened with the high priest, she would rather have some trouble than expose her space.
By the time the sugarcane was dug, the snow had already started to fall.
When Su Nuan finished processing the sugarcane and returned to the front of the cliff, she found that a carriage had been driven onto a steamship.
She landed on the deck and asked, "Where are we going?"
Xiaotian on the deck looked at Su Nuan and said, "I'm leaving. I'll be gone for a while."
Su Nuan knew immediately that he must be going back to Beixue Country to fight for what belonged to him.
I immediately asked tentatively: "Can you take me with you?"
Xiaotian shook his head, "No, it's very dangerous to go back this time."
Su Nuan rolled her eyes and said, "Then there will definitely be women approaching you when you go back, right? How about I pretend to be your fiancée and help you beat up women?"
Xiaotian hesitated. The construction of the North needed Su Nuan, so how could he take Su Nuan away?
At this time, Ling Cang came to the deck and said, "You can take her with you, but you must come back before September."
Su Nuan calculated that locusts might appear sometime between late July and early August, so she really couldn't leave.
Xiaotian was silent for a moment and then said, "It won't take that long. I'm going to Phoenix City in the Northern Snow Country. There are several workshops there that belong to my mother's clan. I'm going to bring them back."
Su Nuan's eyes sparkled, "Poaching, I like it."
Ling Cang couldn't help laughing. What kind of vicious words were these?
Xiaotian also said awkwardly: "No, they are from my mother's clan, so they should be considered family."
Su Nuan shook her head. "You've been kicked out, so why don't they just sit on the fence?"
"Even if there are loyal people, they will definitely be squeezed out of existence."
After a pause, she continued, "If you intend to bring everyone back, then you must be prepared to poach people, because it's impossible for everyone to remain loyal to you as their master."
"If you only plan to take those excluded and those loyal to you, it won't take a few days, but you must bring more people."
Ling Cang pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you take Nuan Nuan and Lei Wuya with you. The three of you will be more than enough to bring back the people."
"The mayor of Phoenix City is not a tough guy. He will compromise after a few threats and inducements."
"As for your industry, if you can't take the things with you, then forget it. What we want is talent."
Xiaotian nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Su Nuan frowned and asked, "How long does it take to fly from here to Phoenix City?"
Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "If we fly, it will take three days. If it's your flying snow, it will arrive in two days."
Su Nuan nodded, "That's not far. We can fly there and we won't need a carriage."
"Also, what identity do you want to return with? An overwhelmingly powerful comeback, or as a down-and-out young master?"
Xiaotian didn't understand the difference between these two kinds of return and asked, "What's the difference between these two identities? I'll be the young master when I return, so whether I'm down and out or not won't make a difference."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "If you make a strong comeback, people will be wary of you, and you won't be able to see many secrets."
"Returning from poverty is a bit troublesome, but you can clearly see who is useful and who is not, which can be regarded as a filter to distinguish loyalty from treachery."
Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've decided to make a strong comeback!"
