Chapter 134 Handsome Men Twenty-Six
Everyone & the sickly boy: "..."
Everyone's lips twitched. Third Sister hesitated before asking, "Did you really lose your memory and forget your name?"
"Yes, he asked me to come up with a name for him. I think 'Twenty-Six' is a good name, like the people of Lingxiao Tower."
Jiang Mianmian's eyes sparkled. "What do you guys think?"
"I think it's great, I like it very much, thank you Mianmian."
The sickly man smiled shyly, his face turning red again. Looking at the mutton in the yard, he said, "I know how to roast meat. I can help you roast meat. Just give me a piece of cornbread. I'm easy to feed."
Seventh Sister stared at him, her eyes full of little hearts. "Why eat steamed buns? Eat meat! Come with me, let's grill meat together."
Jiu Niang smiled helplessly and said softly to Jiang Mianmian, "Then stay. You know what you're doing."
"Then I'll go and clean up the side room in your yard."
Third Sister put down the meat skewers in her hand.
"He can take care of it himself later."
He was taken in, not brought here to be a young master.
However, Third Sister waved her hand and walked away.
Jiang Mianmian had no choice but to worry about her stomach first. She took out a dagger to cut the roasted meat and sprinkled it with lots of chili powder.
One bite and it's crispy, tender, and incredibly spicy. "Delicious! Do you have ice-cold milk beer?"
Yu Guang kept looking at her, his lips curving into a smile.
The group ate heartily in the courtyard.
The new camp in Fengshui County was in an uproar.
After a long day, the people returned to the camp and ate a quick bite, all somewhat absent-minded.
In the Tupo Village team, the members gathered in small groups, chattering and discussing.
"This is quite close to the East Gate, isn't it? It's not raining now, so the road is much easier to walk on. Why don't we go back and take a look?"
"What's the point of going back? Everything's soaked and ruined; it's just a waste of time and energy!"
"Yeah, let's go to sleep. Isn't it nice to stay in this tent?"
"What's so good about it? It's like a cloth bag; a strong wind will blow it away. If we leave it to dry in the sun for a few more days, who knows if it will last?"
"That's still better than sleeping in the rain and mud, isn't it? Why are you so ungrateful?"
"I don't know what to do in the future. I can't just stay in this tent forever."
Just then, the squad leader, Granny Li, returned.
She took the megaphone Jiang Mianmian had given her, set it to record automatically, and began to speak, "Listen up, everyone! We're going to build an underground city. Anyone who knows how to build houses, gather at the entrance of my tent tomorrow at the beginning of the morning. I'll take you to the selection process. If you're selected, you'll have the opportunity to become architects! The pay is excellent! No half-hearted work here!"
After recording the audio, she carried the megaphone and started strolling around the camp, putting it down wherever she went. Soon, everyone in the camp knew the news.
Someone asked, "What is a dungeon?"
Someone else asked, "Can't we go back to the village? It's not far from the village, is it? Going back to tidy up the house and land is better than digging some underground city, right?"
Granny Li couldn't answer everyone individually, so she recorded another message: "The fairy said that after extreme heat comes extreme cold, and next year there will be extreme heat again, followed by extreme cold. This extreme weather will continue for many years! The ground is no longer suitable for habitation, we must build an underground city! Otherwise, no one can survive! I won't stop those who don't want to participate or want to go home, but don't come back begging when you're about to die!"
Now no one dared to say anything. The fairy helped them escape the earth dragon and descend the mountain, and she also gave them food and sustenance. She was the kindest fairy ever. Since she said it was necessary to build an underground city, then let's just do it. The fairy would definitely not harm them!
The news spread rapidly among the various teams like ripples on water. Of course, not every team was as wholeheartedly devoted to the fairy as the team in Tupo Village.
Some people were quietly packing their things, preparing to say goodbye to the team leader early the next morning.
Some people simply didn't wait a moment longer. After dinner, they took their families and headed back, bypassing the mountains and following the official road. After walking for two or three hours, they could see the East Gate.
Maybe I can get into the city tonight and find a place to sleep!
More and more people left the group, getting further and further away, gradually turning into small black dots.
In Lijia Village, the mouse had just finished attending the team's meeting and was hurrying back when he saw Aunt Xianghe leading the children in tidying up the tents, ready to go to sleep. He quickly called out, "Don't go to sleep yet, I have something to say!"
They didn't stay in the tents in Lijia Village, but instead used the small tents they exchanged with Jiang Mianmian.
It can only accommodate fifteen people, but the materials are better and it's more stable and safer. There are only twelve of them, so it's not crowded.
As soon as they heard he was back, several little heads popped out of the tent, "Brother!"
"Brother Mouse! Come quick!"
The mouse brushed the dirt off its clothes a couple of times before taking off its shoes and crawling inside. "Breaking news! We're going to build an underground city!"
Everyone laughed.
"What kind of news is this? We all heard it just now."
"Once Sister-in-law Ishida starts yelling through the loudspeaker, it's impossible not to hear it!"
The mouse scratched its head. "There's another piece of news. Do you want to hear it?"
Lin Xianghe rubbed his head and said, "Stop being so mysterious. What time is it? Go to sleep now. We have to work tomorrow."
"Sister Mianmian's estate is hiring—guards, servants, and old women are all needed. Are there any of you interested in going?"
The mouse didn't want to go because he didn't want to trouble Sister Mianmian and didn't want her to support him for nothing. He wanted to earn a career through his own efforts to help Sister Mianmian! But this was just his own idea. Now that there was such a good opportunity, he didn't want his younger siblings to suffer with him!
He was very excited, "It's not a contract of servitude, but a long-term employment contract. Sister Mianmian will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Lin Xianghe was somewhat tempted. She looked at her two young children and asked, "Mouse, don't you want to go?"
“I’m not going. I’m going to participate in the architect selection. Although I don’t know how, I can learn. Not only architect, but I also want to learn many other things. Aunt Xianghe, you should all go to Sister Mianmian’s estate. Don’t suffer here with me.”
The little ones started crying loudly, "We don't want to go to the village, we want to stay with our brothers!"
"Waaah, does my brother think I'm a burden? I can do a lot of work, brother, please don't leave me!"
Black Dog didn't want to leave either. "Aunt Xianghe, you go ahead. Thank you for taking care of us during this time. From now on, we'll eat and live with the team. Don't worry about us. We'll come to the village to see you after we get our wages!"
Others echoed this sentiment, indicating they would stay with the rats.
Lin Xianghe was torn. If she left, she would be worried about Rat and the others. But if she stayed, her two children were too young, and she knew they would be better taken care of at the estate.
