Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 69 Convenience Store

The next day, early in the morning, Wang Degui led twenty or thirty men to start building the house.

The house was built very quickly; the wood was all leftover from the beginning, and it was finished in less than a day.

Su Yue gave the grain she had mentioned to Wang Degui, telling him to distribute it, and then she left it to him.

The wooden house was built on the right side of the fence.

I came to the newly built wooden house and it was pretty good. The large window and door of the wooden house were on one wall, and the remaining three walls were filled with shelves.

If you put goods on it, it will be similar to a modern convenience store.

Su Yue had a dream since she was a child: to open a small shop when she grew up.

That way, I could have an endless supply of snacks and spicy strips, but this wish has never been fulfilled here.

Su Yue has decided to open a small shop here.

We sell everything here, regardless of the type: vegetables, fruits, grains, medicine...

She plans to sell anything she has in her online space.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.

When the weather gets warmer, I'll take Dali and go all over the country to sell things.

We'll have a few more larger carriages made then, at least bigger than the ones we got from the Qian family.

Su Yue took out paper and pen from her spatial storage and began to write and draw on the paper.

It says "Everything is available at the convenience store" on it. Hehe, I'm so clever.

Fearing that some people might not be able to read, I drew the shape of a gold ingot on another piece of paper, then drew an equal sign, and drew many other things on the other side.

It allows even illiterate people to recognize what it is at a glance.

After carefully putting away the drawings, Su Yue remembered that there seemed to be someone in the refugee group who could read and write. She would find that person later and have him draw the drawings on a wooden board, and then find a carpenter to carve them out.

When I finished my work and went outside, I saw that Wang Degui hadn't gone back yet. He was waiting at the door.

Su Yue wondered if this person was stupid, standing there instead of going back in this cold weather.

After handing the items over to Wang Degui, Su Yue took out a bag of raw chestnuts and a thick cotton coat from her spatial storage. "These are for you. Do what I asked you to do well, and there will be more things to come."

Wang Degui was overjoyed and repeatedly said that he would get it done as soon as possible. He then carried the things and jogged back home.

He knew that his good days were coming. The little fairy had finally seen him, and he would never have to worry about going hungry again.

That night, Su Yue was sleeping soundly on the second floor of the villa when she was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

Su Yue was disturbed from her sleep. She rubbed her already messy hair in annoyance. Who was it that disturbed her peaceful dreams in the middle of the night? It was really annoying.

Anger flared up instantly. As soon as the weather got cold, Su Yue developed the habit of staying in bed. Once she got into bed, she didn't want to get up even if she didn't want to sleep.

Especially in the middle of the night.

Soon there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, are you awake? A large group of soldiers have arrived outside. They say they are from the Second Prince and want to see you." Chun Tao called softly from outside the door.

Su Yue was really annoyed. Couldn't this damn Second Prince come during the day? Why did he have to bother her in the middle of the night, as if she could see him whenever she wanted?

"I won't see him. Tell him to go back to where he belongs. Doesn't he know that disturbing someone's sleep in the middle of the night is like killing their parents? Doesn't he know the rules? From now on, I won't see anyone who comes after dark." After saying that, Su Yue buried herself in the covers.

"Yes, then you rest, young lady! I'll go and report back!" Chun Tao had already witnessed the Third Prince's beating after offending Su Yue; it was so brutal that even she couldn't bear to watch.

After Chuntao left, she recounted what Shen Lerong had said.

Shen Lerong didn't think anything was wrong and went out with Chuntao to give a reply.

Shen Lerong came to the fence and, seeing the Second Prince hurrying along in the wind and snow, relayed Su Yue's words: "Second Prince, why don't you wait until dawn to come back!"

The second prince was anxious and wanted to force his way in. He had just dismounted and taken two steps forward when he saw four fat wolves slowly walking out of a house on the side.

The four wolves stared at him with their green eyes, making his already cold body feel even colder.

Seeing this, the second prince had no choice but to stop.

He thought to himself, "This woman in the rumors is really something. Not only does she keep wolves, but these wolves seem to have some human-like intelligence."

The second prince felt that if he fought to the death, he might be able to defeat the wolves, but that would mean making enemies of the people inside, which he couldn't do yet.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and decided to find a place to wait until dawn before coming back.

Shen Lerong didn't stay in the capital for long before leaving with her father to take up his post, so she didn't know much about the Second Prince.

At first, she really thought this person would barge in, but to her surprise, the person only took two steps forward and then turned and left.

After everyone had gone far away, Shen Lerong and Chun Tao quickly went inside, closed the door, and went back to sleep.

It's so cold tonight, I feel like I'm about to freeze to death.

I don't know what the Second Prince was thinking, coming so late at night, isn't he afraid of freezing to death on the way?

After leaving, the second prince went to the place where the refugees lived and had two larger rooms made available. Everyone lit a fire in the room to keep warm and spend the night.

At this moment, someone spoke up, "Second Prince, why don't we just barge in, arrest her, and make her hand over the grain? What are we waiting here for?"

“That’s right. Second Prince, it’s just a few wolves in the yard. With so many of us attacking together, we’re not afraid of not killing a few wolves,” one of the soldiers said.

Then a dozen or so people started shouting, all of them thinking that they had rushed in together earlier.

The Second Prince's already pale face turned even paler from the noise. "Shut up, everyone take turns resting."

Although the voice was not loud, one could still sense the authority in it.

At this moment, no one in the room dared to speak anymore. Everyone could only shut their mouths, and although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to close their eyes and rest.

The cold wind howled outside, while inside, the soldiers huddled around the fire, sleeping haphazardly.

Some soldiers began to complain about the damn weather, saying it was freezing cold.

In a corner, the second prince closed his eyes, pondering his next plan.

He knew that forcibly breaking in would only cause unnecessary trouble and might even harm innocent people.

So he chose to wait, but he wasn't sure. According to the information his scouts got from his third brother, there was indeed food here.

The night grew deeper, and all around was silent except for the flickering of the flames and the occasional murmurs of the soldiers.

The second prince opened his eyes, looked at his exhausted subordinates, and then closed his eyes to rest. He had been traveling for the past few days and was completely worn out; his legs felt like they didn't belong to him anymore.

If I don't rest soon, I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to wield a sword tomorrow.
