Chapter 218: Northern Snow Country Soldiers Attack
The space spirit continued, "We're sailing with the current. We estimate we'll arrive in less than an hour."
Su Nuan sighed, "Okay."
A question suddenly occurred to her, and she asked, "If these people are destroyed on the river, it won't solve the problem. They will send more people, and if things go wrong, they might even massacre the village in the middle of the night."
The space spirit was silent for a moment and nodded, "You are right, so we still have to solve the problem from the root."
They looked at each other and finally concluded that the people on this ship could not be killed.
In order to avoid trouble in the future, Su Nuan had to go back and make some arrangements.
She didn't say anything to the villagers, but just went to Ling Cang to discuss it.
Ling Cang saw Su Nuan running over, so he asked, "What happened? You seem a little panicked."
Su Nuan stopped and frowned, asking, "Which eye of yours saw me panicking?"
Ling Cang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Su Nuan's face, "You're sweating all over."
Su Nuan grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it roughly. "A ship has arrived from the Northern Snow Country. I think they're coming for Xiaotian. Do you have any ideas to get rid of this problem once and for all?"
"Originally, I wanted to destroy the ship and sink them all, but that would only arouse the suspicion of the Northern Snow Country, and I'm afraid of the subsequent troubles."
Ling Cang pondered for a moment and nodded, "You are right to worry. If we destroy the ship, they will send more people."
"After all, we don't have many soldiers here. Even if they kill us all, it won't cause any conflict between the two countries."
Su Nuan then realized that she had thought too simply, and had thought that the Beixue Kingdom would be more restrained because this was not their country.
It now seems that the Northern Snow Country will have no concerns. As long as the ship is destroyed, they will immediately send troops to kill everyone in the north.
She said with some fear: "Fortunately, I didn't do it. I will find a way to fool them this time."
Ling Cang asked: "What weapons do you have?"
Su Nuan grabbed the shoulder bag and started taking things out, taking out a pile of knives, bows, guns, and swords.
Ling Cang picked up a spear and saw that the tip was made of bone, so he asked, "Did you make all of this?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, there are still a lot of bones, but it will take some time to modify them."
"These...don't ask where they came from."
Ling Cang picked up a steel knife, glanced at Su Nuan without saying anything, he just smiled.
Su Nuan touched her nose, her eyes wandering. These knives belonged to the General's Mansion, so Ling Cang must have recognized them.
Ling Cang didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "It's OK. Find Cheng Feng here."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
She felt that Ling Cang's eyes were like X-ray vision, and he could see what she was thinking.
She found Cheng Feng, who was taking a walk with the two little ones in his arms.
The two little guys are looking very good, they are chubby and white, and they can recognize people at such a young age.
When they saw Su Nuan, they immediately started babbling something.
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "This kid already knows you."
Su Nuan stretched out her hand, "Come here, give me a hug."
She took the two children over, and both children stared at Su Nuan with their dark eyes, as if they were admiring something beautiful.
Su Nuan asked, "How much milk powder do they have left?"
Cheng Feng replied: "There's still some, about ten days' worth."
Su Nuan nodded. "Well, I'll give it to you after you finish eating. The weather is a bit humid now. If you take out too much, it will clump together. They will get stomach upset after drinking it."
Cheng Feng really wanted to ask how milk powder was made, but in the end he didn't ask. He felt that it was a secret and he couldn't dig out other people's secrets just for his own curiosity.
Su Nuan said, "My husband is looking for you."
Cheng Feng said "oh" and turned to walk towards Ling Cang.
Su Nuan took the child back.
Mrs. Cheng has recovered well and is washing diapers.
Seeing that she was using warm water, Su Nuan said, "Two children, can you handle it?"
Seeing that it was Su Nuan, Mrs. Cheng smiled warmly and said, "These two children are very well behaved. They go to sleep after eating and playing. They won't make trouble for no reason."
"I remember seeing other people's children crying at night and having a cough every day, but our child has no problems at all."
Su Nuan smiled slightly. Some river water was added to the milk powder, which can strengthen the body, so her resistance is stronger than that of other children.
Su Nuan just felt it necessary to talk about what was going to happen next.
"Sister-in-law, many people will come ashore in an hour. Don't be afraid. Just take care of the children."
Mrs. Cheng's face turned serious and she asked, "Are we going to fight?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, those people shouldn't make things difficult for us. We will handle them carefully."
Mrs. Cheng nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Su Nuan put the child on the bed and said, "I'll go out first. Brother Cheng needs help outside, so he can't come back for the time being."
Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips and said, "I know. Don't worry, I won't let my imagination run wild."
Su Nuan knew that Mrs. Cheng was not that kind of ignorant woman, so she nodded and went out.
No one knew what Ling Cang said to Cheng Feng, but Cheng Feng called all his men out, gave each of them a weapon, and asked them to walk back and forth where they were working.
Su Nuan ran over and asked, "Is this the organization patrol?"
Cheng Feng nodded, "Well, let them know that we are also managed by the military."
Su Nuan looked at the patrolling soldiers. Each of them was dirty and had no armor. They didn't look impressive at all.
Ling Cang also felt that this team was an eyesore and said, "We should still unify the uniforms when we have time. At least we should get bamboo armor, otherwise it would be too..."
Cheng Feng said with a bit of a smile: "Just make do with it. There was some armor in the barracks, but now it's all gone after being washed away by the flood."
"Hey...what soldiers? We are homeless people just like them."
Su Nuan couldn't help but smile when she saw how pitiful he sounded, "Everything will be fine."
Cheng Feng nodded. "Well, it will be fine. I see you planted a lot of corn. If it can be used as the staple food, we won't starve next year."
Su Nuan is not afraid of running out of food, but is afraid of foreign enemies. If these people can be sent away peacefully this time, there will be no foreign invasion in the short term.
After all, they also know that this place is poor, and at least they will not come to harass us before the harvest.
A man came up to Su Nuan and asked, "What should I do now? Continue digging?"
Su Nuan was stunned. Who is this dark-skinned person?
But the voice sounded familiar, so she asked, "Who are you?"
The man chuckled, revealing his big white teeth. "I'm Xiaotian."
Su Nuan looked her up and down, "Oh... your teeth are too white. Chew some charcoal to dye them."
Xiaotian nodded, "Okay!"
Su Nuan couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? They can send such a team to find you, so you must be of a very high status."
Xiaotian looked at Su Nuan nervously, with a look of helplessness in his eyes. What was his identity that made it difficult for him to speak?
