The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 196 Exile 23

The soldier's words made Chaotian ecstatic. Who would want to live in a shed when they could have a house to live in?

"Young man, do you know where the hunter's yard is located? This forest is so big. If we go looking for it like a headless fly, we may never find it."

The soldier pointed in a direction and said, "I heard someone say it might be in that place, but I'm not sure. You have more people, so you can find it if you look carefully. Okay, I have to go back too. You can handle the rest by yourselves."

After he said this, he rode away on his horse.

Lu Fufeng hurriedly ordered his subordinates to look for it together. Chao Yao led them in the direction of the house he had built. Within a quarter of an hour, Chao Tiancai was the first to find the house.

Because Chao Yao had done a good job of covering up, it took him a long time to identify the houses in front of him that were covered with snow.

"anyone there?"

I asked a few questions loudly to Tiancai, but there was no response at all.

He was ecstatic, knowing that he must have found the right place.

"Here it is! I found it, right here!"

He yelled a few times and quickly called everyone else over.

The house in front of me was covered with heavy snow, and I needed to clear the snow before I could go in.

Lu Fufeng and others came over soon, and Chao Yao helped secretly. It took the group almost half an hour to clear all the snow.

"The snow is so thick, and I don't know how long it has been snowing."

Yang Tiaotiao looked at the house in front of her that had been completely cleared of snow and finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Dad, come and have a look. There's a room full of firewood. I don't know how long it will last."

Chao Yuebai was the first to discover the firewood room next door. The entire firewood room was about 300 square meters in area, and was filled with various kinds of firewood.

There are pieces of wood, big and small, as well as various branches such as leaves, and even a large piece of straw.

He ran towards Tiancai, so excited that he was speechless for a moment.

Lu Fufeng walked into all the rooms and looked around, only feeling relieved after confirming that there was no danger in the dark.

"Uncle and aunt, I've just checked inside. There are indeed signs of people living there, and there's nothing hiding in the dark. We can just clean it up and move in."

Yang Tiaotiao took Chao Yao to look at all the rooms. It seemed as if the house was tailor-made for their family.

There are four bedrooms in total, and the family can live in three of them, leaving one as a guest room.

The kitchen is very big and the dining room is inside it. It is fully equipped with a table and dishes. It is obvious that it was newly added and no one has used it. There is still straw tied on it.

Chaotian decided immediately, "Let's just live here. When next spring comes, there will be a large area of ​​open space around, and we can grow some more things. There is still a lot of land outside, and we can enclose it within our own area. Our family will arrive first, and we can register all these lands under our name."

Lu Fufeng also agreed. He quickly said, "Uncle, I have a carriage. I will invite people from the county government to come here early tomorrow morning. When we find some land, we can directly get the land deed. When others come, we will have seized the initiative."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll trouble you, nephew. I've troubled you too much during this period of time."

"Uncle, that's not true. It's an honor for me to be able to help you. But my power is too small, and you still suffer in this place."

"Our family is already in good condition now, and it's all thanks to your hard work. Don't worry, nephew. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

Lu Fufeng's eyes unconsciously glanced towards Chao Yao, but he also knew that he couldn't say such words at this moment. If he said them, the relationship would change.

He has to take it slow and let others see his sincerity, and not let others think that he is exchanging this.

"I'll bring you some food tomorrow. Spring comes very late here, at least until April, which means we have to continue living here for nearly half a year."

Lu Fufeng explained the situation in the North to them in detail to avoid any trouble due to lack of understanding.

Chaotian listened carefully and saw that Chaoyao went to the kitchen to find some things. She had put a lot of grains, meat and vegetables in the kitchen, and also put a lot of meat in the big vat outside.

"Brother Lu, it's getting late now, you guys should stay here. I see there are still a lot of food in the kitchen, today I will show you my cooking skills."

Chao Tiancai also planned to keep everyone here, "Yes, yes, yes, if everyone stays here today, it means that we can all have a house-warming feast together."

Lu Fufeng had just visited the kitchen and knew that there was a lot of food in it, so he didn't refuse. At most, he could just bring some more for them tomorrow.

Chaoyao was cooking. Yang Tiaotiao originally wanted to light a fire, but she really didn't know how to light a fire in the stove. Chaoyao had no choice but to do it herself.

Everyone else has their own things to do, and Chao Tiancai and the others don’t know how to make a fire either, so they can be taught how to make a fire slowly later.

"You all should go out. I can do it here. I learned a lot of methods during my exile. I should have no problem doing it."

Chao Yao was going to use magic next, and of course he didn't want other people to watch.

After asking everyone to leave, she began to show off her skills.

The kitchen fire started and the rest of the place slowly began to warm up.

In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone started taking off their coats because of the heat.

Chao Tiancai and the others all sat on the big kang. After the fire was lit, the temperature in the room almost rose to about 20 degrees Celsius.

Under the current situation, it would definitely not be that fast. In order to make everyone warm up as soon as possible, Chao Yao used some magic.

Half an hour later, all the food was on the table.

There were so many people that it was impossible for all of them to sit on the kang to eat.

There were meat, vegetables and soup. The meal Chaoyao prepared was considered very sumptuous.

I don’t know if it was because of the hardship of the exile, or because the weather was too cold, everyone ate a lot. Chao Yao cooked about thirty dishes, and in the end, even the soup was eaten up.

Yang Tiaotiao was collecting the plates and bowls, and Chao Tiancai was also helping.

The dishes and chopsticks were so heavy, he didn't trust Yang Tiao Tiao to carry them by herself.

After Lu Fufeng had eaten and drunk his fill, he discussed the next arrangements with his men and made a pot of tea and brought it over to Yao.

"Thank you Miss Chao."

"You're welcome."

Chao Yao was about to leave when Lu Fufeng suddenly called her.
