Confiscated the property and exiled? I emptied the warehouse and fled the famine.

"Well, based on the environment here, I estimate that the temperature will drop suddenly at night. The temperature during the day is too high, and the temperature at night is too low. I am worried that we can't handle such a temperature difference. I don't know if these firewoods will work."

Lu Zhizhou looked at the sun in the west. The sun was about to set. If it was true as Ruan Yunsheng said, the temperature would change once the sun set. There was no place to hide around here.

"Do you still have the rope to save you?"

"What do you want to do?"

"See those beads over there? Cut them down and build a shelter from the wind. Otherwise, when night falls, we will either starve to death or get killed by heat or freeze to death here."

Ruan Yunsheng looked up at them. Indeed, when they came out, they were all wearing exile clothes, and only one piece was very thin. If the temperature was too low, they might not be able to survive. She could get some tents and quilts from her space, but if she did that, she would be regarded as a monster, which would be very dangerous for her.

"Is it too late? There are so many of us."

Ruan Yunsheng looked around and saw that there were about twenty to thirty people there. If so many people wanted to set up a wind shield, they would need a very large area.

"I can't worry about that anymore. I'll just do as much as I can."

The dried fish were almost fried, and the rest just needed to be left to cool. Lu Zhizhou took the fish from Ruan Yunsheng's hand and took a few bites casually.

"Give me the rope."

"Help me block it so I can take it out."

Ruan Yunsheng's rope moved to the side, and Lu Zhizhou moved towards her. Ruan Yunsheng took out the rope from the space and handed it to Lu Zhizhou. Lu Zhizhou stood up with the rope and walked towards the crowd.

"If you are done eating, come with me to cut bamboo. The temperature will be very low at night and we need a place to stay cool and warm."

After hearing what Lu Zhizhou said, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. In such hot weather, Lu Zhizhou said that the temperature would drop at night, and they didn't know whether they should believe him or not.

Pei Yan stood up and asked, "Brother Lu, will the temperature really get lower tonight?"

Lu Zhizhou nodded, "Well, the temperature here was very hot when we came down, but we felt humid. One reason is that we are close to the water flow, and the other is that the frost and dew are produced by the low air temperature at night. If you don't believe it, you can wait until the sun sets and the temperature will slowly drop. It will reach its lowest point at midnight."

Pei Yan had no choice but to believe what Lu Zhizhou said, "Men, come over here and cut bamboo to build this place."

Lu Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Pei Yan believed it. With Pei Yan's words, those people stopped wasting time. Since there were only so many knives, they took turns chopping the bamboos, and the rest of the people spliced ​​the bamboos together.

Lu Zhizhou selected several sturdy bamboos and worked with Chen Qingran, Pei Yan, and Xiao Yi to drive the bamboos into the ground and fix them. They then found a few more bamboos to directly connect each bamboo together, and a simple frame was formed. All that was left was for them to splice the bamboos and fix them on.

However, they would need to build at least three such sheds to accommodate so many people. As the last ray of sunlight set, everyone quickened their work. Soon, those who had doubts about Lu Zhizhou were slapped in the face, because they could feel the temperature dropping. They even seemed to be thankful that Pei Yan had supported Lu Zhizhou's decision.

By the time all the shed frames were built, it was already dark but the surroundings were still bright. It turned out that Ruan Yunsheng had lit several fires when he saw that it was getting dark. They were not idle while they were building the sheds. After eating, they hung up the fried fish to dry and continued to collect firewood. They didn't know how much firewood they would need to get through the night. The firewood they collected before dinner was obviously not enough now.

By the time they had finished putting the beads together, some people had already started rubbing their arms due to the cold. Lu Zhizhou and others worked together to fix the assembled bamboo on the frame. Only after all this was done did Lu Zhizhou finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Brother Pei, there are only three sheds in total, and the last shed is a bit small so we can only squeeze in at night.”

"All this is easy to say. You and the Chen family will go together, and we will send one official and the remaining person. What do you think?"

Lu Zhizhou nodded. This arrangement was the best outcome. "Brother Pei will make the arrangements."

Although Pei Yan followed their wishes in everything, he was an official after all and no one could take away the power that originally belonged to him. He had to make the decisions that were right for him.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away. You saved our lives again this time."

Pei Yan was very grateful at this moment. Firstly, he had not caused any trouble to the Lu family along the way. Secondly, Lu Zhizhou was with them on this journey of exile. Otherwise, they might have been bitten to death by a king cobra as soon as they left the capital.

Pei Yan assigned the people as he had just said, and they all started a fire in their own sheds to keep warm. Ruan Yunsheng divided the dried fish into five portions, giving a little more to the officials, and divided the rest equally, then handed each portion to each family.

They were very surprised when they got the dried fish. They thought it was good enough to have something to eat and didn't dare to ask for anything more. Unexpectedly, Ruan Yunsheng actually shared the dried fish with them. With these, they wouldn't have to go hungry for at least a while.

"Ms. Ruan, thank you." Mrs. Li said sincerely. She used to dislike the Lu family because of her son's affairs and had a very bad attitude towards the Lu family, but this time she said thank you sincerely.

"You're welcome." Ruan Yunsheng said lightly. She was not such a saint to forgive anyone. She just didn't want anyone else to die on the way to exile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yunsheng." Chen Qingran took the dried fish handed over by Ruan Yunsheng and smiled gently. Lu Zhizhou looked at Chen Qingran's behavior and said unhappily, "Don't be polite to us. After all, you are my uncle and our elder. It is my duty to take care of you."

Lu Zhizhou emphasized the word "elders". Chen Qingran understood the meaning and laughed softly without saying anything. Ruan Yunsheng glared at Lu Zhizhou.

Ruan Yunsheng sat next to Lu Zhizhou and said softly, "Why are you so hostile to Qingran?"

Lu Zhizhou, who was already jealous, heard Ruan Yunsheng calling Chen Qingran so intimately, "Qingran? Shengsheng, I'm unhappy. You've never called me like that before."

The tone of grievance amused Ruan Yunsheng. She finally understood why he was so hostile to Chen Qingran. Ruan Yunsheng leaned close to Lu Zhizhou's ear, and her lips brushed against his earlobe. Her magical voice passed through his eardrum, "Then I'll call you Qilang, okay?"

"Qillang." Ruan Yunsheng repeated what he had just said. Lu Zhizhou's body trembled, and an invisible desire appeared in his eyes, but disappeared after a moment.
