Perhaps because the surrounding environment was too dark, Su Bujing and Su Buyi were very cautious about the so-called "neighbors" nearby.

Coupled with the old man Su Bujing met just now, their vigilance rose to the extreme.

Although for now, everything here makes perfect sense.

But for some reason, Su Bujing and Su Buyi always felt unhappy.

Whether it’s different wooden signs, the attitudes of people around you, or something else.

"Brother, are you hungry?"

"It's okay. Although it's not as cold here as before, we still need to build a shelter from the wind first."

Su Buyi looked around.

The most important thing at the moment is to find a place to cut down trees. Whether it is to make a fire to keep warm or to build a thatched house, it must be used.

Just as they were told, Su Bujing and Su Buyi held hands and walked down the street on the left.

Strangely enough, there was clearly a lot of empty land behind, and I really couldn’t figure out why the man named Brother Bo didn’t allow them to continue selecting.

Could it be that the land behind is prone to collapse?

Su Buyi looked around suspiciously.

The street in front was at least illuminated by a long strip of leaf powder on the ground.

After walking to the back, there was nothing.

It's so dark that you can't see it even if someone is standing in front of you.

"Well, it feels a bit familiar..." Su Bujing murmured softly, looking left and right with his eyes. The streets on the left and right presented each other in an elegant fish arc.

And the land they just chose happened to be at the end of this fish arc.

Maybe, if there are people coming over the ice or coming from the south, they will catch up with them and become the new "fish tail".

"Oh, it's crowded here even for everyone. We probably have to find trees to cut down." Su Buyi said.

"Then let's go out. When we go out, we can see how many large houses there are here."

Here, Su Bujing couldn't blatantly take out wood from the Immortal Mansion.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi's place is at the innermost part of Yang Street. Going out from here will pass through all the doors of Yang Street.

Apart from the disadvantage that it takes a long time, it is not too inconvenient.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi looked at the left side and the right side respectively, and wrote down all the portals that fit the characteristics one by one.

It's a pity that no one is in the house now, everyone has gone out to work, otherwise they can go directly to the door and ask.

After walking for a long time, the two finally saw the fence gate.

"Well... there are twenty-four on the left." Su Bujing said.

"I counted twenty-five on the right."

"There are so many people living in such a small place! It's really..." Su Buyi shook his head.

If they hadn't handed in their knives, they would probably have had a squeeze.

Well...it doesn't seem possible, because with the child Su Bujing here, they will definitely be allocated a spacious place.

“By the time we come back from cutting down the trees, it’s almost time for the people who live here to come back.”

Su Bujing and Su Buyi walked to the gate. Brother Bo was not there. Another gatekeeper stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?"

Su Buyi explained his intention to leave, "Aren't we going to build a thatched house? There are no trees to cut down inside. We plan to go out to find wood."

"Oh, go to the right. There are many trees there. Most of the people went there before."

After Su Buyi thanked him, he led Su Buying to the right.

Not a single person was seen along the way, but the sound of knives chiseling into rocks could be heard.

I guess the crowd is not far away from them. Su Bujing and Su Buyi quickened their pace and hurried towards the direction of the sound.

"Chichichi..."

"Ding ding ding..."

The sounds of trees being chopped down and rocks being cut along with the sounds of leaves rubbing against each other and people walking reached the ears of Su Bujing and Su Buyi.

"Be careful with this stone and make sure you don't trip over it!"

"Pu Wa, please help my father carry this piece on his back. My father is so tired that he can't even straighten up..."

"Oh, please work harder! Why do I feel like I am the one doing all the effort?"

After getting closer, the brother and sister could clearly hear human voices.

They hid in the dark and took a look, quietly, without disturbing the people who were working hard on the opposite side.

What’s ahead is a chaotic mess!

An old man picked up a load of rough wood and walked with a hunched back.

There were not many children. They carried large rocks on their shoulders with straw ropes, and carried loads of gravel in their hands. The weight they carried was probably heavier than themselves.

The largest number of them are young and strong men and women.

They piled the chopped trees and hewn stones into an open space, guarded by a few people with their heads held high.

At this time, it is entirely men who do the work of animals, and women who do the work of men, not to mention children and the elderly.

Anyone with arms and legs is probably here.

As for the sporadic old women and old men I saw on Yang Street before, maybe they have inconvenient legs and feet, or maybe their families don't let them come out and get hurt.

But after all, they are only a minority.

"By the way, we don't have anything to chop down trees!" Su Bujing said suddenly.

Su Buyi raised his chin and said towards the place where the wood and stones were piled: "Well, you should be able to rent it over there, but I don't know what the price will be."

The people here must be as useless as them. Now that they are so capable, there must be a place to rent sharp tools if you want to come here.

The price to be accepted by these people shouldn't be too heavy.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi walked out of the darkness and pulled over a gray-faced little boy, "Little brother, where did you get the stone-cutting tools? Did you rent them there?"

The straw rope on the little boy's shoulder made blood marks on his shoulder, but he seemed not to notice it. He glanced at Su Buying and Su Buyi without saying anything, and just looked to the side with his eyes.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi looked over and saw that the place was indeed the place Su Buyi was pointing to.

When Su Buyi and Su Buyi turned around, the little boy left slowly.

"thank you!"

Su Bujing said thank you loudly, because the voice was too high, attracting the people around him.

"Who are you?" someone asked.

"Haha, we are refugees who just came here." Su Buyi said with a cupped hand.

"He just came..." someone in the crowd repeated in a low voice.

Su Bujing was keenly aware that the people around her were looking at her with inexplicable weirdness, and an indescribable feeling came to her heart.

"Brother..."

"Come here to chop down trees to build a house? Okay. The knives I have here are not expensive. You only need to hand over one-third of the wood you cut." The man who was guarding the pile of wood and stones stepped forward.

The word "inexpensive" made Su Buyi speechless.

I want to get one-third of the benefits without doing anything. I have such a big appetite.
