Chapter 883 Ling Yun was angered by the villagers
Ling Yun held Su Nuan's hand tightly, glanced around, and said, "I think the trees over there are more lush. Let's go over there and take a look."
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's go."
The terrain here is not very flat, with gentle slopes, depressions and drumlins.
The place they went to was a hollow where there were no big trees, only a few small shrubs.
The two men came to the depression, but stopped halfway up the gentle slope.
Su Nuan stepped on the ground and heard the sound of water.
Ling Yun stepped hard and left a deep footprint, which was soon filled with water.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "It looks like there's a puddle here, let them dig it themselves."
Ling Yun nodded, "Well, it's good enough that we help find it."
Su Nuan took out a few buckets of river water from the space and said, "Pour it down to nourish the water here. Maybe it can preserve the effect in the short term and prevent them from getting sick."
Ling Yun nodded, picked up the bucket and poured the water on the ground. The ground here was saturated, so the water flowed to the deepest part and gathered into a puddle.
Su Nuan pulled Ling Yun and said, "Let's go see how they distribute the land. There's nothing to see here..."
She paused for a moment and said, "Is there... movement over there?"
Ling Yun grabbed Su Nuan, held her in his arms, and kept backing away.
"It's moving. I don't know what's going to come out from down there. Let's move away."
As he was speaking, a big fish's head popped out of the puddle. It had a wide mouth and a beard.
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a catfish, probably attracted by the river water."
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "Not good, run."
Su Nuan stretched her neck and looked over Ling Yun's shoulder.
Many catfish emerged from the puddle, fighting each other in a mess, and the puddle turned into a muddy puddle.
"Tsk tsk, fight, I'll eat you all in a moment."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "It can be regarded as a welcome for these people."
The two came to where the villagers gathered, and Long Aotian was still dividing the places by drawing lots.
Su Nuan patted Ling Yun and said, "Put me down. I'm going to check on Bai Qingshuang. She seems to have finished smoking."
Ling Yun put Su Nuan down, protected her with his hands, pushed through the villagers and came to Bai Qingshuang.
Bai Qingshuang looked at Su Nuan and said with a smile, "The house is in the middle of the village road, not remote."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, being conspicuous is safer. Then how do you build a house?"
Bai Qingshuang smiled and said, "The village chief said that the men should build the house together, and the labor of building the house will be repaid after everyone has moved into the new house."
Su Nuan didn't expect Long Aotian to make such arrangements, but she could learn from it.
If the men in the village were asked to build houses for others for free, they would definitely feel unbalanced.
Long Aotian's arrangement is equivalent to paying later, which is paid labor, and the men are happy to work.
Ling Yun touched his chin and said, "That's a good move. I'll remember it."
Su Nuan asked, "Then move Bai Qingshuang's house to a street-facing location. I'll give her seeds and let her sell them."
Ling Yun asked in return: "No one here has money, how can we buy it?"
Su Nuan, “…”
The people here are not like those in Sifang City. Sifang City has the ability to mint new coins, but Long Aotian and his people do not have that ability, so there are very few things in circulation.
Long Aotian had already seen Su Nuan and the others. He handed over the work at hand to others and squeezed through the crowd to come to Su Nuan.
"Fairy, you are so amazing. You actually saved the dying people."
Su Nuan smiled faintly, "Bai Qingshuang and her daughter are quite pitiful. You have to take better care of them in the future."
Long Aotian smiled and said, "That's not a problem. I just want to trouble you with something."
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Did he want more food? That wasn't a difficult thing to do.
Long Aotian smiled and said, "The fairy said to leave a cart of food!"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I won't lie to you. Do you not believe me?"
She felt a little unhappy. She would definitely do what she promised, and she would feel annoyed if she was suspected.
Long Aotian quickly shook his head, "No, I just want the fairy to help divide it up according to the number of people."
"If it's a whole cart of food, then we have to eat from a big pot. This is unfair to those who don't have a big appetite."
"As for those who have big appetites and are strong because they eat a lot, if they can't eat enough, they will go back and find other ways to fill their stomachs."
Su Nuan understood that Long Aotian was just taking advantage of the power of others, but this was the best solution at the moment.
The villagers are afraid of the gods and will definitely not steal other people's food. At least in the short term, their lives will be stable.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's easy. But how much food should each person get?"
"Also, do you need rice or noodles? We have some whole grains if you want."
Long Aotian was silent for a moment, then he asked cautiously, "Is rice okay? It's easier to make into porridge, and it can also nourish the stomachs of children and the elderly. One dou per person... is about right."
Su Nuan didn't care what he wanted, as long as it was suitable.
"That's no problem. I don't have that many bags. Just tell them, one person..."
She paused. A dou? Dou (a dou) was different in different dynasties and places. Should we use the Sifang Kingdom's dou? One dou is 12 jin (approximately 12 jin).
Ling Yun asked, "Do you have a big bucket or a small bucket here? Our small bucket is 6 jin, and the big bucket is 12 jin."
Long Aotian shook his head, "Neither. Here, a dou weighs 18 jin."
Su Nuan was too lazy to argue, "Come on, 20 kilograms of rice per person, bring your own things."
Long Aotian's eyes flashed with joy, "Yes, I'll go tell him right away."
Su Nuan respected their choice. She had originally planned to give each person a weight of 100 to 80 kilograms, but now that they wanted less, she gave them less to avoid being taken advantage of.
Soon, Long Aotian ran back and said, "The villagers mean that those who need rice can take it, and some people don't want rice and want to exchange it for coarse grains of equivalent value."
Ling Yun sneered, "Love or not."
They are really spoiled. They even bargain. They think it’s good enough if they can just have something to eat. Do you really think they won’t lose their temper?
When Long Aotian saw the cold air emanating from Ling Yun, his legs trembled instantly and he cursed those nosy people in his heart.
Su Nuan patted Ling Yun's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's just this once. How about this, just give them 100 kilograms of millet each to save trouble."
Ling Yun snorted coldly, "They got it for free."
Su Nuan smiled slightly, "I'm just too lazy to bother."
Long Aotian's originally trembling legs became strong again. In his heart, he praised those who had been nosy just now again, praising them for their foresight and being sure that the fairy would be soft-hearted and give more food.
Ling Yun didn't know what Long Aotian was thinking, but he could tell from his eyes that he had a plan. He immediately held the sword against Long Aotian's throat.
Long Aotian was so frightened that his teeth were chattering and his legs were shaking, but he didn't dare move, for fear that a slight movement would cause a hole in his throat.
Ling Yun asked coldly: "Tell me, who told you to exchange fine grains for coarse grains?"
Long Aotian swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "I said it, it has nothing to do with them."
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly: "Who said that we should exchange fine grains for coarse grains? Stand up yourself, or I will kill him immediately!"
