Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

Chapter 125 Let’s talk tomorrow

When Su Chengnan heard what Ashun said, he stood up and came over.

Ah Shun knelt on one knee, calmed his breath, and said, "My Lord, there is an inconspicuous path at the end of the village near the valley. I looked carefully and found that someone had set up a bag."

"Oh?"

Lu Chaofeng raised his eyebrows and slowly drank the tea in his hand.

"I touched it and saw a row of bamboo houses on top, and what looked like caves behind. Although there wasn't much movement, the mud on the ground clearly showed signs of human habitation."

Lu Chaofeng stood up and wanted to go and take a look in person.

Su Chengnan came over to stop him, "It's already dark now, and we're not familiar with this area. There's no need to take action now."

"I'm afraid they'll run away."

"If you wanted to run away, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

Lu Chaofeng hesitated for a moment, and seeing this, Ah Shun quickly added, "Miss is right. The forest is pitch black. If we really fight, our chances of winning are very low."

Lu Chaofeng turned his head and looked in that direction, still unwilling to give up. "I'll go over and take a look. You stay here."

He said this while looking at A Shun, but actually he was talking to Su Chengnan. A Shun would not let him pass by alone, so he had to quicken his pace and catch up.

Su Chengnan frowned and watched the two people walking away. His eyes flashed and he turned to look for Chen Gang.

Chen Gang's family of three were sitting together with Sun Liangyuan. His wife had some minor scratches, but he was fine.

When she passed by, Goudan was holding a skewer of roasted birds and eating them slowly with a pious look in his eyes.

"Miss, you're here."

"Yes, Mr. Sun, Brother Chen, and Sister-in-law."

Goudan looked up at the sound and called out crisply, "Hello, Miss Fairy."

"Well, Goudan is good."

She touched his head and motioned him to continue eating.

"Brother Chen, there might be something in the woods behind. I'd like you to help me knock it out. If we do it, how likely are we to get it?"

Chen Gang moved his wheelchair back a little. Seeing this, Su Chengnan quickly stood up and held the armrest behind his chair. Then he briefly exchanged glances with everyone, nodded, and pushed him to the middle of the road.

The view from this position is wide, and she believes that Chen Gang can make a rough judgment with his eyes.

"One point of certainty."

"So little?" she was surprised.

"That's right." Chen Gang nodded and raised his hand to point at the tall, dark mountain over there.

"The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there's a breeze by the sea. This kind of terrain is rocky and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"And it's easy to set traps. We can easily resist by taking advantage of the height differences formed by the natural terrain."

Su Chengnan's eyes flickered, and she began to worry again. She silently pushed Chen Gang back to where he was.

Su Chengnan fell into deep thought. She knew that the team could not suffer any more losses, but if she wanted to find the things and people without any effort, wasn’t this a bit unrealistic?

Seeing her staring blankly at the fire, Chen Gang consoled her, "Miss, this matter will naturally become much easier after daybreak. We'll just stay here and it will be safe for a while."

"Safety?"

She repeated it softly, shaking her head silently, "We know too little about this place. We're already severely weakened and have suffered heavy losses. If anything unsettled happens again, I'm afraid people's hearts will fall apart."

Sun Liangyuan shrank his nose and sighed, "Yeah, today was really hard. We are lucky to be alive."

Goudan raised his little head, licked his greasy lips, and his eyes sparkled. "Sir, I'd like to spare some time to learn some boxing and kicking from the guards. Is that okay?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

Sun Liangyuan nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, but don't let it interfere with your studies."

Goudan nodded his head heavily: "To study, one must be alive. After I learn martial arts, I can not only protect myself, but also my parents and my teacher in the future!"

Chen Gang felt complicated when he heard his son's words. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had accepted his fate.

Su Chengnan curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Goudan is a good boy. You will definitely become a talented person in the future."

"Yeah, I think so too."

His decisive answer made everyone laugh, and the sad mood on their faces was swept away.

At this time, Lu Chaofeng brought A Shun back from the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, he saw Su Chengnan sitting next to Chen Gang, and the group of people were talking and laughing. For some reason, the corners of his mouth sank, and he felt a little unhappy.

He walked over and said in a deep voice, "It's late. I'll take you back to the carriage to rest."

Su Chengnan didn't expect him to come back so quickly, and was a little confused for a moment, "Did everything go well?"

Lu Chaofeng said inexplicably, "It went smoothly. Wait another hour and I'll bring people over."

Su Chengnan frowned. "I just asked Brother Chen, and he said that this terrain is very risky. Should we wait a little longer? Let's talk about it at daybreak."

Lu Chaofeng frowned and blurted out his disapproval, "No need, I can definitely take the people there myself."

His tone was very stiff, as if this matter was not negotiable.

This attitude made Su Chengnan very confused, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

In fact, Lu Chaofeng is not a person who likes to show off, and he has no need to be greedy for credit. But he saw that Su Chengnan would rather ask Chen Gang than discuss with him and listen to his opinions, which made him feel a little depressed.

Ah Shun stood behind him, head bowed and brows furrowed, wondering what the hell was wrong with the prince? They'd clearly already agreed to take people to search the village first, to see where the quacks lived, and to give any supplies they could to the people first. They couldn't let people freeze to death in the cold wind.

If there are any houses that are confirmed to have no hidden doors, we can move the injured into those rooms first. In short, we need to ensure everyone gets through the night peacefully. We can make all plans after tomorrow morning.

But why did the prince change so suddenly?

Ah Shun scratched his head and looked up to meet Su Chengnan's puzzled eyes. He shuddered and quickly buried his face in his chest, staring at his toes, pretending to be completely deaf and dumb.

Anyway, he didn't believe that the prince would joke about his brothers' lives. He must have been confused for a moment and would change his mind later. Yes, that was definitely the case.

Su Chengnan coughed lightly, feeling that he still needed to persuade them, "Everyone is exhausted, let them take a break first. How about we go and see where the production is going on? Who knows, there might be some unexpected gains?"

Lu Chaofeng was a little stunned by what he had just said, but when he heard that Su Chengnan had the same idea as him, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Yeah, that's okay."

"Then shall I take you there to have a look?"
