“You stabbed him?” Xiao Jin was very surprised, but at the same time, he felt relieved. She wasn’t her, so she naturally didn’t have any scruples when she attacked him. This realization made him feel much more relaxed.

However, he felt that there was some lag in his intelligence reports. He didn’t even know that Xiao Jue had arrived here.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Jue, now that he knew that Su Ying was still alive, Xiao Jue would do everything he could to locate her.

“In the future, don’t leave the Tiger Base unnecessarily.”

Su Ying nodded. They had enough supplies now, so they should have no problem getting through the winter.

However, Xiao Jin was still worried. He planned to bring his men to set up some delusional array formations outside the base camp tomorrow to prevent people from the outside world from finding this place easily.

Su Ying was driving a group of livestock along the yellow mud road, her face beaming with joy, attracting the attention of many people.

“Madam Su, why did you buy so many livestock?” Those who recognized Su Ying couldn’t resist asking boldly.

“This livestock is a reward for everyone,” Su Ying said as she swung her leather whip.

Upon hearing this, everyone tagged along behind Su Ying and became even more curious. “What’s the reward for?”

“I’ll give a chicken to the person who works the hardest and is most concerned about the future of the Tiger Base. The greater the contribution, the bigger the livestock I’ll reward.”

Chickens and ducks were still common, but pigs, cows, and goats were rare in the Tiger Base. If anyone could get one, they would treat it like a treasure.

“Madam Su, don’t worry. We will definitely work hard.”

“Yes, yes. We won’t cause trouble anymore. Give me a chicken to eat.”

Xiao Jin sat in the horse carriage and looked at Su Ying, who was riding on the back of a cow and swinging a small leather whip. As he gazed upon her face which was beaming brightly, the corners of Xiao Jin’s lips subconsciously curled up.

He realized that he had always been attracted to her outright brazenness tinged with a touch of arrogance. Even if she was fighting a bloody battle a second ago, she could smile like a child in the next moment.

“Alright, stop following me. As long as you’re willing to work hard, this year will be a warm winter where you can eat and drink to your heart’s content. Go back now.”

During this period of time, quite a few people had been working with Su Ying and the others. Although they didn’t get a lot of food, at least they didn’t have to go without food for several days like they did in the past. Compared to the past, things were much better now. People had to learn to be content.

“Ling, Ji, Mother is back.” Su Ying shouted loudly from outside the courtyard.

Soon, she heard a flurry of movements in the courtyard.

“Mother! It’s Mother and Father. JVly mother is back.” The younger toddler Ling’s excited and childish voice rang out in the courtyard. Su Ying, who was waiting outside the gate, couldn’t help but laugh.

The courtyard gate was opened, and the two little ones rushed out and collided into Su Ying’s arms.

“Mother, Mother! My mother is back.” The younger toddler Ling hugged Su Ying and kissed her non-stop.

“Mother…” Even the usually reserved older toddler Ji discreetly kissed her a few times.

Su Ying’s face was smeared with saliva, but even so, she was still beaming happily.

“My precious babies, in a while, Mother will bring you guys some delicious food. Take a look at what’s behind me.”

The older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling looked behind her and saw a group of livestock mooing, bleating, quacking…

“Oh, great heavens! Mistress, why did you buy so many livestock?” Aunt Zhao and the others also ran out. When they saw the animals outside the courtyard, they were astounded.

“Not many, not many. Didn’t Uncle Hea and the others build a big livestock shed behind the house? 1 thought it would be a pity if the shed was empty, so 1 bought these.”

“Gosh! I’m afraid my shed isn’t enough to hold these animals. Hurry up and drive them into the shed first.” Hea Shouyi picked up a chick from the ground. “These chicks won’t be able to escape once they are in my hands.”

Murong De took out a self-made broom and started to sweep the animals forward.

The two children thought the actions looked amusing and wriggled down Su Ying’s body to join in the fun.

Su Ying looked at her now empty arms and shook her head. They had agreed to be there for each other, but in the blink of an eye, she was not even comparable to a few chickens.

Su Ying returned to the house and immediately lay down on the bed. Although the house had not been built for long, this place gave her an inexplicable sense of belonging. She felt extremely relaxed whenever she returned here.

“Mistress, are you tired? Let me massage your legs.” Lin Zhuyu walked into the house and obediently massaged Su Ying’s legs.

Su Ying wanted to refuse, but then again, Lin Zhuyu’s skill wasn’t bad. When her tiny fingers squeezed her legs, she found her muscles relaxing quite a bit.

“After 1 have helped Mistress relax, Mistress can go take a bath. I’ve already asked Bai Shuang to boil water.”

When Xiao Jin entered the house, he saw Lin Zhuyu grinning at Su Ying like a Cheshire cat. Why was this woman everywhere?

“Go get Mistress a cup of water.”

Lin Zhuyu turned around and glanced at Xiao Jin. When she met Xiao Jin’s dark and gleaming eyes, she subconsciously shrank back. Then, with a fearful expression, she whispered to Su Ying, “Mistress, do you want some water? Shall I pour it for you?”

Su Ying was about to fall asleep. “No need.”

Xiao Jin’s eyebrows twitched.

Lin Zhuyu puffed out her chest but did not dare to look at Xiao Jin. “Mistress said she doesn’t want to drink water. I’m massaging her legs.”

Before Lin Zhuyu could finish speaking, Xiao Jin grabbed her by the collar and threw her out.

“Hey…”

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

Lin Zhuyu covered her nose that was hurting from the collision with the door and almost burst into tears. It was so painful. Master was simply too hateful!

Su Ying opened her eyes when she heard the commotion and looked at Xiao Jin with a baffled look. “You have a problem with her?” Could it be that he still hated her for cheating on him?

“You were also a dog in the manger in the past. Save it.” Su Ying flipped over and closed her eyes at once.

Xiao Jin’s temples bulged violently. He knew that she must have thought of something else, and a deep sense of helplessness rose in his heart.

When Su Ying woke up, she smelled a rich, dense fragrance.

She sprang up from the bed, yanked the door open and walked out, following the smell all the way to the backyard.

In the backyard, Murong De had built a simple rack with stones. There was a charcoal fire burning below the rack and over the top of the charcoal fire, a goat was being roasted until its fragrance wafted out. This goat was the one that had its head chopped off by Xiao Jue’s guard. When Tiger Might left, he got his men to pick up the corpse of the goat. When Su Ying came back, Qiao Yang had his men pack the goat that had already been processed and brought it back for Su Ying.

“It smells so good.”

Murong De said with a smile, “Later, you must eat more, Mistress. I even used wild fruits to boil some tea that can lower the body heat. This mutton is heaty so after eating it, you should drink more of the cooling fruit drink that can dissipate heatiness.”

Su Ying stared at the roasted lamb and lost all ability to think. All she wanted to do now was to quickly gobble it up!

Although the roasted whole lamb was not small, they had many people. Moreover, Hea Shouyi had cooked quite a number of dishes.

Madam Jiang had also harvested some fresh leafy vegetable to eat with the mutton.

During dinner, everyone sat together happily, as if they were just ordinary commoners and this place was their home..
