All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

After dinner, the family rested around the fire.

Xie Lin is still keeping watch.

Everything was quiet, and everyone sitting by the fire had fallen asleep.

Xia Chan sat next to Xie Lin, and they were covered with a quilt together, but most of the quilt was on Xia Chan's side.

Xie Lin is not afraid of the cold.

He supported Xia Chan with his arm so that she could sleep better leaning on his shoulder.

"You take a nap, I'll listen?"

Xia Chan woke up from a nap and found that the people around her were still keeping watch. She felt a little distressed.

Want him to sleep.

"I'm fine Chanchan, I'm not sleepy."

Xie Lin opened his eyes, looked at the person beside him, and whispered to her to continue sleeping.

The summer cicada couldn't sleep either.

The main reason is that the conditions are a bit too simple. After sleeping for a while to relieve fatigue, it is difficult to fall asleep again.

Since I can’t sleep, I might as well talk to Xie Lin.

"Then tell me about your past experience fighting at the border?"

She asked, looking up at him.

Xie Lin didn't expect that she liked to hear this.

"It's all about fighting and killing, very boring stuff."

"It's okay, tell me about it, I like to listen."

"Okay, then if you feel annoyed, tell me."

"Ah."

Xia Chan leaned on Xie Lin's arm and listened to him talk about those years and his days at the border.

As he spoke, an image of a young hero emerged in her mind, riding his horse and killing enemies at the border, lying on the yellow sand with the sun and the moon as his pillow.

Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, it must have been exciting.

Just like Xie Lin's love for his hometown, his blood must be boiling with passion.

The abominable emperor, because he was afraid that the Xie family's achievements would threaten his throne, indiscriminately ordered the killing of 180,000 people of the Xie family's army...

Xia Chan leaned on Xie Lin's shoulder in a daze and reached out to hold his hand.

"I will help you get revenge."

I don't know if he was talking in his sleep or what he was saying.

Xie Lin laughed when he heard this.

He squeezed her shoulders and held her in his arms.

The next day, before daybreak, Xie Lin, who had not slept all night, got up to work.

When Xia Chan woke up, he found that there was no one around him.

All the members of the Xie family, young and old, were weeding the surrounding area.

Xie Lin was chopping down the tree with the knife she gave him.

Because they wanted to build houses, they had to cut down trees, lots and lots of trees.

There is no need to worry about this tree, as there are plenty of them around, and it is no problem to use local materials.

The tools just aren't good enough.

Xia Chan searched his space clinic thoroughly but couldn't find an axe or anything.

She walked out of the clinic somewhat dejectedly and went to stroll along the pedestrian street.

The axe was not found, and the saw was even less available.

She found some scissors and fruit knives in the warehouse behind the women's clothing store.

In the warehouse of the men's clothing store, a machete and some hammers and other tools were found.

Xia Chan didn't know what was needed to build the house, so she moved everything out.

A large basket of things was placed on the open space, including work gloves.

"Xie Lin, come and see if there is anything that can be used."

The summer cicadas chirped at Xie Lin who was chopping trees.

After talking to Xie Lin, she went inside and took out some chestnuts and coconut milk, and asked them to eat the chestnuts, drink the coconut milk and take a rest.

"Aunt, do you have coconut milk again?"

The two little brothers, Xie Wenbo and Xie Wenjin, helped pull weeds for the whole morning, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Seeing the coconut juice in the transparent cup, the two brothers smiled widely.

They have become much darker during this period, but they also look healthier.

Xia Chan touched their heads and asked them to take the coconut milk to other people in the family.

She took out the pot, built a clay stove with stones, and prepared to cook breakfast.

The food in the clinic was almost gone, so Xia Chan caught a few fish from the nearby stream and prepared to make fish soup.

She actually wanted to eat fried fish more, but there was not much oil left, so she had to eat it sparingly, and could only eat stewed fish soup.

While cooking, Xia Chan thought that she had too few things and she still had to go out.

Otherwise, they would go hungry during the time they were building the house.

The large supermarket covering several thousand square meters under the department store at the end of the damn pedestrian street can only be seen by her but not touched.

It's really frustrating to see something but not be able to eat it.

Xia Chan cleaned up the fish soup, poured it out of the pot and placed it in a basin aside.

Oh, in order to make eating more convenient, she even moved out the dining table from the clinic, as well as the sofa and stools.

In short, the main point is to do whatever you want.

A large pot of fish soup was emitting a fragrant aroma. The people working nearby looked over here and couldn't help but sniff.

It smells so good, I want to eat it.

Xia Chan smiled as she cleaned up the pot, added more water, and cooked a pot of noodles.

This noodle was collected from the kitchen of the Duke's Mansion. It was wet noodles, unlike the dry noodles of today. Cooking a pot of it was enough for everyone to share.

After everything was ready, she asked Xie Wenbo and his two brothers to call people over for dinner.

"Don't forget to wash your hands before eating."

Xia Chan reminded with a smile.

"I know, Auntie."

The two little brothers smiled and went to call someone, then washed their hands, and then ran back and sat obediently on the stools, waiting for dinner.

The adults also packed up and came back.

Seeing the big pot of fish soup and the full bowl of noodles on the table, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Thank you for your hard work, little cicada."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother and sister."

From the old lady to the eldest and second sisters-in-law, as well as the two younger sisters-in-law and the little niece, they all thanked her with a smile.

Xia Chan found it a little funny.

"Why are the family members so polite?"

Asking her to build a house and do heavy work may not be possible.

But it's still possible to get something to eat.

Xie Lin was the last one to come over from the stream. He washed his hands. Xia Chan handed him the noodles and saw the blisters on his palms.

She hissed.

"Does it hurt?"

Actually, this sentence is a bit nonsense.

Without asking, Xia Chan knew it must be very painful.

These hands were originally used to hold swords and kill enemies in battle, but now they are used to hold hatchets, cutting trees and building houses in the wild mountains and uninhabited areas.

His identity also changed from a young general to a country bumpkin.

Those who once aspired to serve their country are now huddled in these mountains.

How can the summer cicada not feel distressed?

Xie Lin smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

"You should eat noodles first."

Xia Chan asked Xie Lin to eat lunch first.

"I'll get rid of the blister for you after you're done eating."

When they work again in the afternoon, they have to wear gloves no matter what.

In fact, it was not just Xie Lin who had blisters on his hands. Other members of the Xie family also had blisters on their hands.

After dinner, Xia Chan popped the blisters on Xie Lin's hands and applied medicine on him.

She also broke the blisters on the hands of other members of the Xie family, applied medicine to them, and wrapped them with gauze.

After finishing all this, she said to Xie Lin who was about to go chop trees again: "Which direction is the town you mentioned? I'm going to the town for a while."
