Chapter 642: The North Suffers a Beast Tide
Seeing that his attitude had softened a bit, Su Nuan immediately began to smooth over the stubborn donkey's fur.
"Xiao Yun, don't mind me. I have never forgotten that I am from the Ling family."
"The business Bai Tong wants to start is a good one. We in the North won't have to worry about making a living. This way, we'll have extra energy but nowhere to expend it."
"Having a pet or something else to keep them entertained can help them burn off excess energy and avoid causing trouble."
"This will reduce the pressure on your city defense soldiers, which is a good thing."
Ling Yun listened to Su Nuan's gentle words, and the hair on his body finally calmed down.
Especially when he could tell that Su Nuan's last sentence showed concern for him, all his anger disappeared.
He nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally calmed down.
Wu Qi, who was being ignored, looked unhappy. He already understood what Su Nuan and Ling Yun wanted to express.
I had never thought that the North would develop so well, and I thought of taking the villagers with me to make a living elsewhere.
Now he was in a difficult situation. If he wanted to take the villagers away, he had to take all of them away. However, the villagers lived and worked here peacefully and it was impossible for them all to be willing to follow him.
Once those villagers who are unwilling to leave are taken away by me because of the rules, they will definitely complain and even regard me as an enemy.
At this moment, Ling Yun glared at Bai Tong, then looked at Wu Qi and asked, "How is it? Have you made up your mind?"
"If you've made up your mind, I'll gather your villagers and ask them to leave with you."
"Since they already have a permanent residence and have purchased daily necessities, it will probably take some time to pack up and move."
"Well... I can give you some time. Just move out within three days."
"But anyone who leaves here will have their household registration cancelled and be blacklisted, making it impossible for them to return and settle down."
Ling Yun paused and added, "It's a pity that some of them have already opened shops. I don't know if they can bear to let go."
Wu Qi's face turned pale. Is it really that good? The villagers all have permanent homes, and some even have shops, while he himself has nothing.
If that's the case, why would the villagers follow me? How can I give them a good life?
He looked up and met Ling Yun's half-smile.
His face immediately turned serious, and he said with determination, "I want to settle down here."
Ling Yun was stunned and felt a little bored. How could the other party surrender with just a few words? There was no pressure at all.
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then go to the government office to handle your household registration. Since you came before the new rules came into effect, I won't charge you any money."
Wu Qi smiled and said, "Thank you."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan and said, "Go home. Don't pay attention to him."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, let's go home."
Bai Tong made a face at Wu Qi, his eyes filled with disgust.
Wu Qi was depressed, but the current situation was caused by himself, and he had to bear the bitter fruit himself. It was his own fault for underestimating the development of the North.
What troubled him the most was that... the friendship he had built up with Su Nuan and the others in the past was destroyed by his own hands at this moment.
He beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret, but it was too late.
At this moment, Su Nuan and the other two returned to the City Lord's Mansion and began to deal with the hare.
Ling Yun was responsible for skinning and removing the internal organs.
Bai Tong was responsible for cleaning it up.
Su Nuan cooked the rabbit into two dishes: spicy rabbit head and cold rabbit.
After the rabbit was cooked, Bai Tong took out a rabbit head and started chewing on it.
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid?"
Most people will lose their appetite when they eat spicy rabbit head for the first time because of the rabbit's ferocious appearance.
Bai Tong chuckled: "Aunt Xue made it once, but I didn't dare to eat it at that time. In the end, Aunt Xue sneaked in and stuffed it into my mouth."
“That was the moment I realized that things that look unappetizing can actually taste really delicious.”
Su Nuan laughed, it turned out that foodies have strong hearts.
Now that she has some free time, Su Nuan thinks about the mynah bird.
She looked at Ling Yun who was standing beside her, "Xiao Yun, do you think that mynah bird will cause trouble?"
She made up her mind that next time she would just put the starling into the space and not let it out so she wouldn't have to worry about it talking nonsense.
Ling Yun frowned and said solemnly, "Maybe. I will increase patrols during this period. If there is any unusual situation in Luosha Country, we can cut off the floating bridge to prevent them from coming."
Su Nuan nodded, "Hmm..."
She thought of the mermaid music box on the cliff. "Oh, that big conch on the cliff is a tool. You just need to blow it with a bellows to make a sound."
"That voice is like the song of a siren, which can confuse people, but once the song stops, they will return to their senses."
"So when you want to use it, it's best to find something to plug your ears."
Ling Yun asked in surprise: "Isn't that big conch a decoration?"
He always thought that Su Nuan had found it as a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be a defensive weapon.
Su Nuan smiled awkwardly, "Um...I forgot to tell you."
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled, "It's a very good thing, but I think it would be even better if we take it to the city gate."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What if there are too many people coming? Will you still fight hard? We will definitely retreat to the inner city and abandon the outer city."
"While we were hiding in the inner city, the enemy entered the outer city to search, and we used the conch to put them to sleep."
"Once they have no power to resist, our soldiers hiding in the outer city will be like catching a turtle in a jar."
Ling Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Bai Tong couldn't help but grumble, "She's not your wife, why are you being so obedient?"
Ling Yun's face turned serious, "A sister-in-law is like a mother..."
But he couldn't say any more after saying these four words, and his face turned gloomy.
Su Nuan quickly changed the subject, "As for the battle, whoever is right should be listened to. Don't be so pretentious."
"Um... I'll go back and rest for a while, you guys can do whatever you want."
With that, Su Nuan walked out.
But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold and before he lifted the other foot, he heard the sound of a horn coming from the city gate.
Ling Yun's expression changed and he said, "Oh no, it's a beast tide."
Su Nuan was stunned and asked blankly: "What is the beast tide?"
I haven’t heard of any beast tide in my previous life. Could it be that the development of the north changed the trajectory of my previous life?
Seeing Su Nuan's puzzled expression, Ling Yun patiently explained, "The people in the mountains must have noticed that a wild animal was about to come down the mountain, so they sent back the news."
Su Nuan nodded and asked, "How do you know what the horn is saying?"
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Bug sounds, drum sounds, and flag signals are all commonly used signals on the battlefield."
Su Nuan nodded in understanding, "I see. Let's go and take a look. This beast tide might be here to deliver meat."
Ling Yun shook his head, "Not necessarily. The beast tide might contain some poisonous creatures. These cannot be eaten."
Su Nuan felt the same way. She really didn’t know whether this beast tide was good or bad for the North.
