Zhao Feng couldn't resist Chen Shan, so he finally nodded and accepted all the money.

Chen Shan smiled, then came over and asked Zhao Feng.

"If nothing else, those tools you made are really useful."

"If you still have any ideas, feel free to come to me!"

"If we really come up with something useful, maybe people in the county will rush to buy it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng had no choice but to smile and nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Feng said to Chen Shan.

"Father-in-law, I now have twenty or thirty taels of silver in my hand. I plan to find someone to renovate the house so that we can live better. What do you think?"

Chen Shan nodded, and then asked in surprise.

"You have so much money on your hands?"

Zhao Feng said with a smile: "Yes, I have been hunting some time ago, and those wild game are quite popular."

"And now the waterwheel has solved the drought in several surrounding towns. It is estimated that we will be able to get a lot of food after the autumn harvest."

"So I plan to use this spare money to build a house!"

Chen Shan thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"It's okay to build a house, but remember, don't show off your wealth!"

"I heard that there is a Black Wind Village on a nearby mountain. It is a bandit's nest, specializing in robbing homes and houses. Several villages have been robbed!"

Zhao Feng was suddenly startled and asked in surprise.

"Does the county government not care?"

Chen Shan waved his hand helplessly.

"What the hell, those government officials have to collect some money from us every time they come over. We can't afford them!"

Zhao Feng suddenly became a little worried, then nodded and said.

"I see."

On the way home with Chen Rou, Zhao Feng's face kept looking a little unhappy. Unexpectedly, he thought that this era was too simple.

Originally, Zhao Feng thought that he could live a good life in this era if he was safe and sound, but what would he do if those bandits came here?

Although he has a crossbow, he only has three arrows, and those bandits are all equipped with real swords and guns. If they really kill him, he won't be able to withstand ten of them!

Chen Rou turned around and saw the thoughtful expression on Zhao Feng's face, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Feng,

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Only then did Zhao Feng come to his senses, then pretended to smile calmly and asked Chen Rou.

"Madam, I have something to discuss with you now."

"During this period, we have saved twenty or thirty taels of silver. I originally planned to use this money to build a good house so that the two of us can live more comfortably."

"But now I want to use the money to start a business. After all, I only rely on hunting and carpentry work, which is a bit unstable."

When Chen Rou heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Husband, if you want to do business, just do it. The house matter is not urgent!"

Zhao Feng looked at Chen Rou in surprise. Originally, he thought that Chen Rou would not agree to this matter. After all, business represents risks. If he loses, he will lose everything.

Unexpectedly, Chen Rou combed her hair, smiled at Zhao Feng and said, "Husband, since you woke up last time, this period of time has felt like I was in a dream."

“In the past I could only survive on wild vegetables, but now I not only have enough to eat every day, I even have meat to eat. I am very contented!”

"During this period, I have also seen what you are capable of, husband. If you go into business, you will definitely be able to do it! Even if it doesn't work, it's okay. At worst, we can go back to our previous life!"

As she said that, Chen Rou looked at Zhao Feng affectionately: "As long as your husband won't drive me away, I will always stay by your husband's side!"

“I’m not afraid of hardship and suffering!”

After hearing Chen Rou's words, Zhao Feng looked at Chen Rou's delicate and pretty face and couldn't help but say.

"Madam, you are so kind to me, how should I repay you?"

Chen Rou smiled slightly: "You are my husband, shouldn't I treat you well?"

Zhao Feng immediately took a deep breath, picked up Chen Rou, and walked towards the deserted woods, ignoring Chen Rou's shy struggle.

Arriving in the woods, Chen Rou guessed what Zhao Feng wanted to do, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but she wanted to refuse but still welcomed him.

Zhao Feng couldn't bear it anymore. When he first came here, he only regarded Chen Rou as a woman and didn't have much feelings for Chen Rou.

But hearing what Chen Rou said just now, I am afraid that any man would be moved. It was only now that Zhao Feng regarded Chen Rou as his real wife.

One of the two people is passionate, the other is eager to resist but welcomes them. And in the woods in broad daylight, rationality has long faded, leaving only the original passion!

Zhao Feng climbed up to a high point and slid down to a low valley. He was lost in the weeds and couldn't extricate himself. Suddenly he heard the gurgling stream and the cry of orioles, startling a large number of birds.

After a while, the two people came out of the woods in disgrace.

"It's all your fault, why do you want it here?"

Zhao Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Who would have thought there were people here? Fortunately, we didn't take off our clothes!"

Chen Rou couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pick off a few blades of grass from Zhao Feng's body.

"Is this okay? We were so anxious to escape that we even slipped into the weeds!"

"Fortunately you were holding me just now, otherwise it would have been broken!"

Zhao Feng shook his head in embarrassment and pulled Chen Rou back home.

Early the next morning, Zhao Feng got up early and went to the county town. This time he wanted to search carefully in the county town to see if there was any business worth doing.

After walking around in the county town, Zhao Feng found that most of those doing business were inseparable from basic necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. This was also a characteristic of this era. As for entertainment, there was basically no such thing.

Before people have enough basic food and clothing, it is difficult to develop entertainment methods.

There may be some entertainment in the more prosperous towns, but in this remote country, there is very little business that can be done.

The most important thing is that Zhao Feng calculated the money he had and asked about the prices in those stores. He couldn't help but be speechless.

"This amount of money is not enough to rent it for a year, so what can we do?"

Zhao Feng suddenly sighed and was walking out of the county seat with his head lowered and thinking, when he didn't notice that a woman bumped into him.

"Yes, sorry!"

"Don't run, catch her!"

The woman apologized in a panic, and then ran away directly.

Zhao Feng had just come to his senses, but when he saw the woman's face in a startling glance, Zhao Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The woman had fair complexion, beautiful eyebrows and peach eyes, and a gentle temperament, which made many people look at her.

Zhao Feng was a little surprised, why would such a woman be chased in the street?
