Chapter 38 Twenty taels of silver
"If you want to build a house, you can also find the remaining officials. They will guide you how to buy building materials."
Zhou Lizheng said: "Thank you, Mr. Yin, for letting me know."
After Yin Liming left, every household lined up to get tents and rice.
Zhou Li was planning to receive it last, and said at the front: "Everyone will find their own land and pitch their tents on their homesteads. To be safe, everyone can go to the mountain to cut some trees and come back to surround their tents." , which is also safer. But don’t waste the cut trees in the future, you can use them as firewood or continue to make yard fences.”
The villagers nodded at the same time.
Nangong Anshan's family was at the front of the line and received the tent first.
She asked her second brother to guard the family, and she took her fourth brother Nangong Cheng and fifth brother Nangong Mo to find the homestead.
She drew No. 12. The terrain here is flat. Just walk directly from the place just now. I thought it was in the middle of the village, but I didn't expect it to be at the foot of the mountain.
Although the location is a bit off, but fortunately, there is some distance from the foot of the mountain, so she is not afraid of disasters such as landslides and mudslides, and it will be convenient for her to go up the mountain in the future.
After finding the homestead, she went to find the land of the seven members of her family. Fortunately, they were all connected together.
After confirming the location, Nangong Anshan went back to get the tent and brought the whole family there.
Although she intends to build a house, they still need a place to live during the construction period.
After setting up the tent, she led her family to remove all the grass inside, and lit a fire to remove insects and dampness.
Nangong Sheng said: "Ashan, let's cut down trees to make a fence. I'd better get it done as soon as possible. I'm really worried that some wild beasts will come down the mountain."
Nangong Anshan said: "Well, I think so too, but later you stay to protect your family, and I will cut down trees. Not only the fence, the ground is wet, we also need to make wooden floors, so that we can sleep more comfortably at night."
Originally, she wanted to make a bed, but her family has a large population and the tent is small. It is impossible for everyone to have a bed. It is better to make a bed together.
Nangong Sheng said: "Ashan, let me help too. There are officials here, so Grandma and the others probably don't dare to bully Grandma and the others."
"Well, well, let's go together then."
After discussing with each other, the two began to cook. After eating, they were about to clean up. Nangong Xiu said: "My body can also do these tasks. Go and get busy. I will take care of the housework."
After hearing the words, Nangong Anshan had no choice but to agree to him, but she still told him not to force him, and rest when he was too tired.
She has great strength and there are many trees on the mountain. She quickly cut down all the trees needed to surround the tent, carried them back one by one, and split them in half one by one.
Immediately afterwards, she flaked some thick trees to be spread on the floor later.
She turned her head and saw that the younger siblings were actually digging holes with the second and third brothers, and she inserted the railing in for convenience.
She also followed behind them and inserted the tree into it to fix it, but their speed was too slow, so she finally made the hole herself.
After more than half an hour passed, the simple fence was ready.
Some people just got assigned to the tent, and saw that Nangong Anshan had already done everything that should be done, and they were envious immediately. It is good to have great strength.
The opposite and left of her tent are the homesteads of Yu Shi and Wei Zhongshan, Cao Zhenya and Wu Binger respectively.
The population of their family is small, so it is not easy to make the fence well. Out of her heart and to increase her merits, she had to help them.
As she expected, after the past, she added two more merits, bringing the total merits to fourteen.
The Qiu family, the second son and the third son have not yet separated, so their homesteads are all together, but there is still a distance from Nangong Anshan's tent.
Seeing that Nangong Anshan was actually helping outsiders build a fence, Qiu said with a gloomy face: "My family knows to help outsiders without knowing how to help. It's really irritating."
Nangong Zhen said: "Stop rambling, you have time to complain, why don't you hurry up and help, the fence of Ah Shan's house is very strong at first glance, we have to build that kind of thing, if we can't finish it today, we won't even be able to sleep at night it is good."
Qiu frowned and said: "Damn old man, why are you still talking for that dead girl? Don't you also always hate that girl's family?"
Nangong Zhen said: "I hate them? Who said I hate them?"
"You don't hate them, why did you agree to sell those four children together?"
"When did I agree? I just said to think about it at the beginning, but who knew that you would actually do it. Well, hurry up and save yourself trouble with Ah Shan's family in the future, or you will be beaten by Ah Shan, don't Blame me for not reminding you."
At the beginning, he just thought that if the child was sold to a rich family, he would still be able to survive, and escaped with them. If he encountered bandits, his Nangong family would definitely be wiped out, and there would be no future.
I just didn’t expect to hear from my wife and daughter that they actually sold people to be buried with others.
If he knew at the beginning that the children should be buried with him, he wouldn't even think about it, and would directly refuse.
Mrs. Qiu gave him a hard look and had no choice but to help with the work.
At night, Nangong Anshan quietly entered the space under the pretext of going out for convenience.
At this time, there are already a lot of herbs in the space.
Boy Tai Le said: "How do you plan to deal with these herbs? Will you sell them to the system, or sell them yourself?"
Nangong Anshan thought for a while, and said: "I'd better take it out and sell it. Many things in the system are not available in Qinglong Kingdom, so it's hard for me to exchange them for money. Compared with food, herbal medicine is more precious. It won’t be suspicious if you take it out, let’s just owe the merits that are owed for now, I don’t need those things for the time being, I need money now, so it’s true to take it out and exchange it for money.”
"You have considered it well. As far as these herbs are so far, it is estimated that they can be sold for a lot of money."
"I can rest assured that."
The next day, after eating breakfast, Nangong Anshan said, "Aniang, it's not an option for us to live like this all the time. Why don't we build a house?"
"Building a house?" Yang Ruolan asked in surprise, "Didn't we already spend all the money we got from your grandma when we fled? How can we still have money to build a house? Although you got it from those two thieves Three taels of silver, but it is far from enough to build a house."
Others also looked straight at Nangong Anshan.
Nangong Anshan said: "I still have money."
As she spoke, she took out another twenty taels of silver.
If the money is not enough, she can sell herbs.
Seeing the silver, everyone was shocked.
