Chapter 119 Prepare for a rainy day

When we returned to the inn, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

For the sake of the overall situation, Chen Xuanfeng had no intention of using force to kill people when he went there. He neither wore night clothes nor brought a black iron heavy sword, so he couldn't move quickly on the way back.

He returned to the inn lazily like the idle man he had pretended to be before, only to see Mei Chaofeng and Li Qiaoer standing at the door of the front yard, their two flowery faces full of anxiety.

"Why did you come back? I already wanted to go out and look for you!"

"My lord, did you have an accident? You weren't hurt, were you?"

Chen Xuanfeng was moved in his heart, but he said nonchalantly: "What's the surprise? I just won't be able to take a bath with you two in the future. I'm quite unhappy when I think about it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to hug the two women, "Let's go back to the house, and you two will help me take a shower. One less shower, but I haven't showered enough yet, ugh..."

These words were thought-provoking, and both Mei and Li became worried. Regardless of their shyness and flirting, they walked inside and asked what was going on.

"Guanren, are you leaving?"

"Are you ready to start fighting?"

Back in the backyard, Chen Xuanfeng did not go into the bathroom immediately because the maids had to boil the hot water. He did not answer the two women's questions and just stood in the backyard and walked around.

When he saw the cured game hanging on the outer wall of the kitchen, he suddenly asked: "Mochou, can you make bacon?"

Li Qiaoer said: "Of course I can. I taught them how to make these cured meats, as well as how to cook them."

Chen Xuanfeng was very satisfied with this answer. He looked at Mei Chaofeng and said, "It seems that we are really enjoying our time with Mom Mochou."

Without waiting for Mei Chaofeng's reply, he said to Li Qiao'er: "In the past few days, you have to make more bacon. Make as much as possible. The more, the better."

Li Qiao'er had already guessed something, and asked worriedly: "Does the official want to move to another place to live?"

This time Chen Xuanfeng nodded, winked in the direction of the kitchen, and lowered his voice: "If you don't want them to die, don't ask about this again."

Li Qiaoer understood immediately, nodded and stopped talking.

Chen Xuanfeng continued to look around and asked: "Is there any cotton cloth soaked in cooked tung oil?"

Li Qiaoer said: "Do you want to make an umbrella? There are ready-made ones at home."

Chen Xuanfeng shook his head and whispered: "No, just use oilcloth, sew a bag, put things in it and throw it into the water so that it won't get wet."

Li Qiaoer also lowered his voice: "I don't have it at home, but there are some on the street. How much do you want? I can buy it."

Chen Xuanfeng said: "The more, the merrier. At least, it should be enough to make ten bags, right?"

Li Qiaoer almost guessed where Chen Xuanfeng was going, but she was too sensible to confirm it verbally, and immediately went shopping with Mei Chaofeng on the street.

This afternoon, Chen Xuanfeng's family of three did nothing else but were busy sewing waterproof bags and smoking bacon.

The job of sewing waterproof bags belongs to Nühong, a craft passed down from mother to daughter. Mei Chaofeng does not know it, but Li Qiaoer is very skilled. Chen Xuanfeng asked Li Qiaoer to sew in the bedroom and keep it secret from the maids in the yard.

That night, after the maids were asleep, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng put the dried bacon into two bags and handed it to Chen Xuanfeng to carry out.

Chen Xuanfeng sent two bags of meat into the stone chamber at the bottom of the ancient tomb, then returned empty-handed, and told the two women his plan before sleeping.

The battle must be fought.

The problem is that no matter how the fight is fought, Li Qiaoer must be properly settled first. The husband and wife cannot always leave one person to protect Li Qiaoer.

So before the fight started, Chen Xuanfeng decided to send Li Qiaoer to the ancient tomb.

The stone chamber on the bottom floor of the ancient tomb, which is engraved with the fragments of the Nine Yins, is an excellent refuge.

Externally, no one could imagine that they could "water escape" without a trace. Internally, Yuemei and Sun Sanmei in the ancient tomb would not know that there was a stone house under the ancient tomb.

It can be said that in the original time and space, if Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu had not decided to die and lay side by side in the sarcophagus thirty years later, the secret room at the bottom of the tomb would never have been discovered.

Even in the current time and space, even if someone witnessed Chen Xuanfeng jumping into the Taiyi River, at most they would just run downstream to intercept it, but they would not have thought that the water was actually connected to the heart of the mountain.

The place is a good place, but it's hard to say how long he will stay here. After all, Chen Xuanfeng plans to learn martial arts in the ancient tomb, so it is essential to prepare his daily necessities in advance.

And because Li Qiaoer was pregnant and was most likely to give birth in a stone chamber, it was not enough to just stock up on food, meat, pots, pans, and fire.

If possible, Chen Xuanfeng plans to find a carpenter to build a split-size bed and put it in. He also needs to prepare a small bathtub.

Of course, there must be enough bedding, a change of clothes, and even mesons for babies. With all these things, it is unthinkable that someone will suffer in the future. Either adults or children will suffer.

So that night, the husband, wife and concubines began to imagine the future underground life. Since Mei Chaofeng and Li Qiaoer had never been in it, they were not as thoughtful and complete as Chen Xuanfeng.

On the morning of August 19th, Chen Xuanfeng and his family slept in together for the first time. After lunch, they continued to collect supplies according to the list discussed last night.

After being busy until evening, Cheng Jiang finally came to join us.

Cheng Jiang also went around to the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain and entered the mountain, so he was not interrogated by the Jin army.

Cheng Jiang's arrival means that the war is about to begin.

But Cheng Jiang himself knew nothing about the serious situation. While he was curiously looking at the unrecognizable small town inn, he didn't know why Chen Xuanfeng wanted to transform the inn into such a luxury.

Of course Chen Xuanfeng would not explain to Cheng Jiang the affairs of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, but only introduced Li Qiaoer's identity as a concubine.

Cheng Jiang became dissatisfied with Chen Xuanfeng and his wife as soon as he heard this.

Why are you two here? You just got two BMW horses and ran away. Why did you take a concubine? Are you here to fight against gold or just to enjoy the mountains and rivers?

Cheng Jiang complained, but he would not say it on the spot. He was originally an introvert, not to mention that Chen Xuanfeng had always been strong and would not listen to anyone who told him what he was sure of?

Just in time, all the cured meats in the inn were shipped away, and the new ones were not ready yet, so this reception dinner was very simple. Chen Xuanfeng and his family ate it hastily, thinking about unfinished things. Cheng Jiang was unhappy.

I just ate it and it was tasteless.

After the meal, Li Qiaoer and Mei Chaofeng continued to work on some tailoring and needlework, while Chen Xuanfeng and Cheng Jiang sat in the main hall talking.
