Chapter 75 Already Honest
They both shuddered for no reason, feeling a chill run down their backs, their nerves on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly I heard—

"Alright, then you'll all be exiled with me from now on. To that icy wasteland in the north, what was it again? We'll build a new countryside together and live a good life!"

The two brothers, who were in the same boat, almost burst into tears.

That's great, the girl has agreed to spare their lives!

They will definitely work hard. They can build anything, from new rural areas to cities, lakes, and kingdoms.

"Don't worry, young lady. If I dare to utter any nonsense or say anything about you, may my mouth be sore and I be struck by lightning." The man with the accent swore an oath.

Luan Dalong hurriedly imitated the accented brother's oath to show his loyalty.

"Alright." Xin Nian waved her hand and looked at the two unfortunate buddies with a smile, "That horse you were talking about earlier..."

"Ah, right, right, besides the four horses, there were two cows and a pig in the village, and some chickens, ducks and geese. After the floodwaters slowly rose, the brothers drove them all to the backyard and tied them up under the high platform awning."

The rain gradually intensified.

Seeing that her two younger brothers were drowsy from the rain, Xin Nian took out two old raincoats from her spatial storage and threw them to them, saying, "Put these on."

The wool comes from the sheep; this raincoat was collected at the entrance of their family's first warehouse.

Don't miss it if you pass by; what you see is what you get is a fine tradition.

Many seemingly insignificant little tools and items may come in handy at crucial moments.

Both of them were used to the little girl's amazing abilities to walk through walls, courtyards, and even the sky and the earth. At this moment, she was just a couple of raincoats, so they took them without saying a word and put them on.

The three of them rowed the raft to the elevated platform with the canopy they had mentioned.

Xin Nian rushed up to take a look.

Good heavens, four horses, two cows, one pig, and about ten chickens, ducks, and geese were crammed together. I don't know what they went through, but they all looked listless and lifeless.

Several chicks have even been trampled to death by cows and horses... Poor things, they should still be edible, right?

Thinking about it, I'll stir-fry some spicy chicken pieces and make a noodle and mushroom soup tomorrow morning, that'll be enough to make everyone's meal.

She took out a burlap sack, put the three dead chicks inside, and stored the rest, which looked listless, into her special condensed pearl space.

The Condensed Pearl Space was much larger than this small platform. The cattle and horses felt much more spacious after entering. Two of the listless horses stretched out their hooves, stood up, and looked around.

Xin Nian threw in some grain and fodder, then left them alone.

Floating down from the high platform and jumping onto the bamboo raft, Xin Nian was in a great mood. "Da Long, what's your little brother's name?"

"Call him Xiaoyong."

"You two did a great job today. Keep up the good work, and I won't treat you unfairly."

The two men responded with a few "Eh, eh" sounds, bowing and scraping with expressions of submission.

"You two think about it, what other good things are there on this little farm?"

"Yes, yes, there are several chests of gold buried on the back slope of the village. I mentioned it to the girl before, and there's also a big boat moored by the water." The man with the accent gestured.

Luan Dalong nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, it was a very large ship, brand new and only recently built. At that time, Mr. Yan led a team of people to the back mountain to build the ship, and it took them more than two months to build it.”

"That boat looks really sturdy, and all the wood used on it is top-quality stuff." The man with the accent nodded excitedly, "Good stuff, good stuff."

Xin Nian looked at them with bright eyes, "Is it far from that other villa you mentioned nearby, Da Long?"

“It’s not far, it’s not far at all. We can take a shortcut through the back mountain to get to that villa, it’s very convenient!” Luan Dalong paused and said cautiously, “It’s just that… the mountain path is probably not flooded, so we can’t row across it, we can only walk. And with such heavy rain, the mountain path is probably very muddy.”

"Yes, Brother Da Long is right." Xiao Yong, the guy with the accent, nodded in agreement.

Luan Dalong continued, “Miss, that villa used to be a place where the wives of officials would go on outings and enjoy the spring scenery. Although it was small, it was decorated very beautifully and elegantly. There was a peach orchard in the villa, which was full of fruit every year. Every summer, the wives of officials would invite many wives and young ladies of officials to hold peach gatherings.”

"After we acquired Zhuangzi, we haven't even had time to pick half a peach this year."

Xin Nian's eyes lit up. She asked Luan Dalong, the guy with the accent, to point out the direction and dictate the specific route to her. With a kind smile, she instructed, "The mountain road is difficult to walk, so you two shouldn't follow. Go back to the backyard pavilion and tell Liang Guang and the others for me. I'll be right back."

The two men gripped the pole and bowed to her in unison. When they looked up again, her slender figure had vanished without a trace.

The man with the accent was covered in sweat, and looked at Luan Dalong with a pained expression. "Chief Luan, if we betray Mr. Yan like this, will we... will we die?"

Luan Dalong looked up at the dark sky and took a deep breath. "A wise man submits to circumstances. If we hadn't obediently led the way earlier, we would be dead by now. What's the point of talking about betrayal?"

"Xiao Yong," Luan Dalong patted his younger brother's shoulder meaningfully, "Do you think Mr. Yan, a mere mortal, can defeat a little girl who is a reincarnation of an immortal?"

He gripped the pole and paddled back, and the guy with the accent snapped out of his daze and quickly followed suit.

"Brother Da Long, you're right." You can't have any bad intentions in front of an immortal; being honest is the only way to save your life!
Xin Nian was too lazy to go to the back hillside to dig for gold. Looking at the current situation, it was certain that the polar night had arrived.

When the ultimate apocalypse arrives, a gold brick will only be worth about a pound of rice... it'll be pretty useless.

She followed the direction Luan Dalong pointed and climbed over the back mountain, where she could see a corner of the large ship in the distance.

When they rushed to the water's edge and took a closer look, they were overjoyed.

The three-story ship, forty or fifty meters long, could probably hold their whole family even in the event of a storm or flood.

It took Xin Nian a bit of effort to fit such a large item into the household goods section.

The main problem is that she can't access her own space right now, otherwise she could cut off the space above the living supplies area and create several independent storage spaces.

We still need to improve our strength.

Xin Nian glared at the many fish that were jumping out of the water, then smashed them all to death with a few blows and threw them into a sack.

You could also substitute fish soup for the noodle and mushroom soup.

I haven't had a good few days since I arrived here! It's only right and proper for me to eat something good to replenish my energy.

She held up her umbrella and walked slowly along the riverbank.

In two seconds, the figure had already moved several positions.

There's even water pepper here, it's like a perfect pillow when I'm sleepy, I was just thinking about stir-frying spicy chicken pieces...

This thing may look like a wild grass, but it can be used as a spicy seasoning and also has some medicinal value, such as dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain.

There probably weren't any chili peppers back then; she'd never seen one in all the goods she'd collected. If she wanted spicy food, she'd have to figure out a way herself.

Xin Nian changed locations three times along the water's edge, enjoying herself immensely as if she were on a treasure hunt.

Not only did we dig up a lot of water pepper, but we also found a whole patch of ground worms and dug them all up. These things can be stir-fried or made into pickles; they taste pretty good.
