Early the next morning, the Su family was gearing up to build a new home.

But within half a day, everyone started to feel dumbfounded.

Even if you build the simplest thatched house, you still need wood to make supports.

They worked hard for a long time, digging through the snow on Houtou Mountain to collect dead grass and thorns, braiding them and bundling them, so they could only be used to build the roof.

Without support, the work is in vain.

Su Da and Su Er ran all over the nearby hills, but couldn't find a single tree, let alone bamboo.

"What's going on?" Su Dasu looked at each other in confusion.

The women were silent and frowning.

Old man Su squatted beside the thatched curtain, but he was helpless. He subconsciously touched his hand to his waist, only to realize that he didn't bring the cigarette rod at all.

"Dad, Mom, can't we build a house?" Su Wensu Wu was young and had a premonition that the place where he lived was going to be ruined. His eyes turned red and his mouth shrank, crying, "Then we have no place to live again? "

He Daxiang put the two children into his arms and patted their heads to comfort them, "Why are you crying? Who said there is no place to live? My parents will go and carry the wood back later. We will definitely have a place to live!"

Su Er gritted his teeth and stood up, "I'll go to the supervision office and ask! People nearby can build houses. It's impossible that there isn't a single piece of wood in Tubei Mountain!"

At this time, the door of the courtyard closest to the Su family, which was more than ten meters away, opened, and a middle-aged woman in a gray jacket and cotton trousers came out, cracking a handful of melon seeds in her hand as she lazily approached, raised her eyebrows and sneered, "No need to ask, there is no one in the supervision office, so there is no point in going there. The life and death of the exiled people depends on fate. If you can survive, you can survive. If you can't survive, you can throw it into the mass grave in the back mountain and burn it. I think. Going there to get wood? What good are you thinking about?"

This information made the Su family even more dumbfounded, "Why is there no one in the supervision office?"

"Why is there no one? You are scared out of your wits. The stewards who dare to show off their authority in Tubeishan will die one by one. There are too many dead. Who dares to come? Hahaha!"

"..."

Su Da turned around and saw the sad faces of the family, and boldly asked the woman, "Since there is no supervision office, the mountains are full of wood and there is no wood, how did you build the yard of your house?"

"The trees on the mountain have been cut down. Of course there is no wood left. If you want wood, go to Fengyun City and find someone to buy it." The woman threw down the melon seed shells in her hands, clapped her hands and raised her eyebrows, "If you don't dare If you go to Fengyun City, you can buy it from me. I still have a lot of building materials in my courtyard. Look at you, big and small, and you will need to build at least four or five houses. I will help you with thirty taels of silver. I have thought about it. You can come to me."

"Three, three, thirty taels?!"

"This is a bargain for you! I don't want to go to Fengyun City to buy it by myself! I'm afraid that if I don't buy the things back, my life will be lost in the city! Think about whether it's worth buying your life for thirty taels, huh!" The man curled his lips and looked at Xie with a sarcastic look, "Don't blame me for not warning you. There are so many evil people in Fengyun City, and you can hit three desperadoes with one stick. Even the incompetent ones will never come back." "

After she finished speaking, the woman didn't stay long, turned around and left.

Until the courtyard door was closed again not far away, the Su family could not recover from the shock.

Fengyun City, Fengyun City again!

There is no one in charge of the supervision office, and only Fengyun City has what I want. Not to mention whether going to the city is as dangerous as Madam said, just talking about money, they don’t have it at home either!

Thirty taels of silver! Where to get it?

Put aside the fact that when they were still in Dahuai Village, the amount of money their family could save all year round was more than a hundred copper coins.

Later, I earned more than one tael of silver from selling pears, and spent it all on the road.

The Su family squatted on the ground, their eyes dull, and an uncontrollable gloomy despair grew in their hearts.

When Mrs. Su saw this, she hugged Tianbao tightly and gritted her teeth, shouting, "What are you all doing with your heads down? At worst, we don't need a house, so we can just stay in the open air! If not, we can find a cave! I don't believe God is really going to do this. We are forced to death! No matter how dangerous or difficult it is, the old lady will still have to carry on with her three cubs and her sweet baby!"

The rest were beaten awake with a stick.

But no, what's the use of being downcast?

The most important thing is to stay alive.

They also have three cubs at their knees, and a little sweet baby waiting to be fed.

Even if you break the bones, you still have to raise a few cubs!

"Mom, let's hold on together!"

"Let's hold on together!"

After getting rid of the despondency just now, Su Da and Su Er stopped tidying up the thatched curtains and planned to go to the mountains to find a place to live temporarily, whether it was a cave or a mountain col that was sheltered from the wind.

Liu Yuelan and the other three young women also refused to be idle. They discussed going into the mountains together and searching separately from the men.

This small world bursts with infinite vitality in an instant.

In the small courtyard not far away, the mean woman listened to the energetic shouts coming from outside, curled her lips and snorted, "These newcomers really don't know how high the sky is. Let's wait and see if they still smile." It turns out that there are several penal colonies in North Vietnam, and the most difficult one to live in is Tubeishan!"

"Ahem! Ah Xian, we still have a lot of wood in the yard. It's convenient for people. Let's use it for them." A soft voice came from the room, low and weak.

When the woman heard this, she sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said in a sharp voice, "Fart! Don't even think about it! We didn't get the wood for free, so why should we give it to them for free? If I don't have any money, I'll pawn it." I won’t even give you firewood! Also, if you continue to be a bad person, I will never be done with you!”

There were soft footsteps in the main room, and a fair and thin middle-aged man walked out. Even though his face was full of illness, he could not hide his handsomeness. He coughed twice more and said helplessly, "A-Xian, among the exiled people, which one can have such good looks?" Hiding dozens of taels of silver? Besides, all this wood will take up space here. How many children are there in the family? Give it to them."

The woman turned her head away with a serious face, "No!"

The man sighed, "You."

After that, he walked out of the main room and out into the courtyard, taking three steps and coughing, five steps and one breath.

Woman, "What are you doing?"

"I'll ask them to come over and bring firewood."

"you dare!"

The man leaned against the courtyard door and turned around, his deep eyes overflowing with helplessness, overflowing with favor, and smiling softly.

"..." The woman's face turned red, she murmured for a moment, then gritted her teeth, "Okay, okay! Give it! I'll go ask them to carry the firewood in person, right? You go back to the house quickly! If you see the wind, go back to the house." You think I’m not worried enough?”

The man's lips widened and he smiled slightly, "Okay."

"...cough." The woman's face turned redder, and she glared at the man with a feigned ferocity, "You man, you know how to manipulate me! Do you know how much delicious food thirty taels of silver can buy you? You're such a good person!"

"You just can't change your stubbornness. If you hadn't softened your heart, how could anyone ever see you running out to remind them?"

The woman was so angry that she was exposed, but she was not willing to play rough with the man, so she rushed out the door in anger.
