Chapter 200 Is it true?
Everyone walked carefully, not wanting to fall and delay.
The group soon arrived at their destination.
On days with heavy snow, the river surface has long been frozen into ice.
Su Chengnan stood there, looking around. Bingsan flew to the river in tacit understanding and quickly shouted, "Miss, it's here!"
"Last time, we caught fish right here! But..."
He paused for two seconds and stomped his feet hard on the ice, making two solid thuds.
Other soldiers ran over and followed suit, stepping on it a few times.
"Oh my, the ice is so thick!"
"There's no way to chisel this open!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Li Mutou snorted coldly and muttered, "I told you I shouldn't have come! It's so cold, and you're still thinking about ice fishing? After all, you're a rich girl, and you don't have any common sense at all."
When the people around him heard him complaining again, they quickly covered his mouth with their hands and dragged him away. They also said to Su Chengnan with a smile: "Miss, we will help you dig it up. Don't worry, we have the tools!"
Others responded, fearing that she might be unhappy.
"Yeah, we brought tools."
"It will definitely be chiseled open, don't worry, Miss!"
Su Chengnan naturally knew that the river would freeze in this kind of weather, but she was not worried. There was boiling hot spring water in the space. She could pour it on the ice surface and use other tools to break the ice easily!
However, she had to find a way to pour the hot spring water smoothly.
Well, special times call for special measures.
She lifted her legs and walked forward.
Seeing this, Qingshan quickly walked in front of her and used a shovel to help her shovel away the snow and clear a path.
When they arrived at the river, Bingsan had already started digging a hole.
Su Chengnan curled his lips and pulled out a bag of gold ingots from his sleeve. When he left the manor before, he had stored so much gold and silver treasures in his space, and he had never had the opportunity to use them. Taking out a small bag now would not be a big deal.
After all, when they set off, they still have to prepare enough food reserves. With so many people needing to eat, if they always rely on her and Su Linhua to deceive people by saying that there is food on the carriage, it will arouse suspicion after a long time.
Therefore, the issue of supply is imminent!
"Come, let me give you some prizes! Even though the fish we caught are just extra food for the barracks and used as food reserves, everyone is here with me to work hard, and I don't want to make it hard on you! As long as anyone can break the ice and dig a hole today, I don't care what the barracks reward is, I'll give everyone an extra ten taels of silver!"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to ask, "Are you serious, Miss?!"
"Of course I'm serious. I've prepared all the money." She held up the bulging purse. It was quite a big one.
Everyone's eyes lit up, even Li Mutou's eyes couldn't help but twinkle.
There was no other way. They joined the army because their families were poor. Although they had food and drink in the barracks, it was just a way to survive. If they really wanted to live a good life, they still had to fight and make merit, and then get promoted to make money!
They hadn't had much money to spend over the years, and they hadn't saved much either. Now Su Chengnan was offering ten taels?! This made them dizzy, and they immediately started working.
"Don't grab it! This is the shovel I brought!"
"What do you mean yours? This obviously belongs to the military camp."
"So what? It's in my hands now. Don't bother me. Here are ten taels of silver! My dear, I'll have to save up for years to get that much."
Shovel is a productivity tool, and it is a rare commodity here. Not everyone has one. So soon, the situation became that several people gathered together and took turns wielding the shovels to do the work. They agreed to divide the work equally among the team members.
But in this way, Li Mutou was left alone.
Everyone knew that he had just offended Su Chengnan. They all thought that Su Chengnan would not give him a reward because he was dissatisfied with him, and it would be useless even if he successfully broke the ice.
"One, two, three! Hammer!"
"Hey, can you do this?!"
"Come on, let me do it. I'm stronger than you!"
……
The sounds came one after another, and the scene was very lively.
Li Mutou stood alone on the side, looking somewhat isolated and helpless. He seemed unwilling to give up. After hesitating for a moment, he remained motionless.
Su Chengnan looked at him, then at the others, and understood clearly that no matter where they were, human nature was always so complicated...
In fact, she didn't have any special opinion about Li Mutou. She didn't care what Li Mutou thought at all, but he just stood there motionless, so she couldn't take any action!
No!
He had to join in and quickly look away.
She asked Bingsan to take the shovel in his hand and pass it to Li Mutou.
He froze.
Looks dull.
A hint of complexity flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his firmness: "You think I'll be grateful to you for doing this? I'm telling you, I won't!"
Su Chengnan laughed in anger. She didn't care about Li Mutou's attitude. "It doesn't matter. If you want the ten taels of silver, do it quickly. Otherwise, they've taken up space around here, and you'll have to walk even further."
Bingsan is a smart man. He can see that Su Chengnan doesn't want to bother with this person.
So he smiled and stuffed the shovel into Li Mutou's hand, and pushed him with a smile: "Okay, stop it!"
"I……"
"What do you mean?! There are people who think the money is too much and don't want it? Stop talking nonsense! If you don't do anything, I will really go back and complain. Hurry up and obey my orders!"
Li Mutou was pushed to the riverside by Bingsan.
He took a deep breath, and finally swung the hammer!
bang-
A loud noise was heard.
Everyone was stunned.
Su Chengnan couldn't help but widen his eyes, thinking: Oh my goodness, this is not such a coincidence, right? I just wanted to get rid of him, but I didn't expect this guy to be so strong?
Li Mutou himself was stunned. He fell into a crack in the ice and was splashed with icy water all over his body. He felt really cold.
But after he woke up, he felt his heart surge again! Ten taels of silver, it seemed like he had earned a reward of ten taels of silver!
He cleared his throat and his expression became complicated, as if he was in deep hesitation and dilemma.
Su Chengnan saw his concerns. He must be thinking, he was blaming her for the sacrifice of his brother just now, but the next moment he was reaching out to take her reward?
Oh...it's so difficult.
Su Chengnan did not cause his brother to die innocently! It was clearly his brother who was too ambitious and disobeyed orders, and was accidentally hit on the head by fragments of the city wall blown up by the artillery shells.
Not only could Sun Liangyuan testify to this incident, but Chen Hao was also there at the time. He really had blamed the wrong person...
Suddenly, a voice interrupted their thoughts.
"ah!"
“Are there really fish?”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come quickly!"
