Riding the Pheonix Chapter 314: Hug

Awan ran outside and took a look and was shocked.

There are too many guests coming!

She counted roughly and found that there were about a hundred of them. Their clothes were shabby and they looked like refugees. They brought quite a few carts with them, and they even had pots and pans on them!

Then she saw Ning Xiu talking to the general.

"What are you doing, Mr. Ning?" Ah Wan was confused, "Where did you find so many people?"

Gaotang, who Ning Xiu came with, took people to the county town for shopping a few days ago. Spring returns to the earth and everything revives. They want to take root here, and there are too many things that need to be added.

Ah Wan turned around to talk to Yang Shu, but found that he was staring ahead blankly, as if he had lost his mind.

A-wan was confused and followed his gaze.

There were a large number of refugees gathered there, and many people gathered around to talk.

What's wrong? What on earth are you looking at?

As Ah Wan thought this, she saw Yang Shu walking towards that side.

He doesn't walk fast, but his goals are clear and his steps are firm.

"Master!" the generals shouted.

He ignored it.

As he approached, the crowd dispersed and turned their heads.

Ah Wan said "Ah" and saw a girl in a cloak in the middle of the crowd.

Yang Shu walked faster and faster, and finally started running.

The crowd consciously separated and watched him running closer like a gust of wind. Without hesitation, they opened their arms and hugged the person in their memory regardless of other people's eyes.

This whole winter, because she was too busy and because Awan was angry, no one mentioned her.

But he never forgot a day.

Confessions under the bright moon, wings flying together on the wooden bird, dependence in the secret passage.

Keep every moment in mind.

He was a little disappointed not to see her before leaving Yunjing. But, there was never any doubt.

She already knew what kind of situation he was in when she accepted her confession. How could she leave him because of this?

He only hopes that he can have the strength as soon as possible and return to the place where she is.

But now, she is here.

Full of joy filled his heart, Yang Shu just wanted to act according to his own wishes.

If you want to hug her, hug her. No matter if others are there or not, no matter if they are watching or not.

The crowd burst into laughter, and Yang Shu turned a blind eye. He only tightened his arms and pressed her against his chest, smelling the familiar fragrance with a hint of herbs.

"Why are you here?" he asked with a smile.

"You're here, can I not come?" Mingwei let him hold her, although his hold was too strong and it hurt a little.

Yang Shu's smile became even bigger.

While hugging her, he suddenly thought of a question and let go of her: "Why did you arrive at this time? Did you set out in winter?"

Spring has just begun, and it takes several months to get from the capital to Gaotang, no matter how good the road conditions are. So, didn’t she hit the road during the Chinese New Year?

Mingwei nodded: "I'll be on the road in November."

"Been on the road for more than four months?" Yang Shu looked around at the refugees with kind smiles, "Is it because of them?"

"Yeah."

Ning Xiu came over with a nonchalant look on his face: "We'll talk about old times when we go back, so many people have to settle down."

Then his eyes passed lightly, and although he didn't say anything accusing, Yang Shu felt embarrassed.

Forget it being looked at by others, it seems a bit shameful to be looked at by my senior brother like this...

……

Half an hour later, Mingwei simply freshened up, changed her clothes, and sat in the main room, watching Xiaotong grilling meat and chatting with Duofu about her cooking skills.

Not long after, Ning Xiu also finished taking care of himself and came over with his big sleeves fluttering.

Mingwei is also convinced. After spending a whole winter in this place, even Yang Shu has become more informal. Ning Xiu is still so chic and fairy-like.

It was winter when Yang Shu and the others came. There was not enough wood to build the house, let alone make furniture. They simply made some small tables as dining tables and sat on mats like the ancients.

At this moment, Ning Xiu took off his boots and entered the house. He waved his sleeves and sat down, looking like a master.

When Ah Xuan and Ah Wan entered the room, everyone was already there.

"Have those people settled down?" Yang Shu asked Ah Xuan first.

"Yes." Ah Xuan replied, "We built a lot of new stables earlier, just for them to live in temporarily. We will build new houses after the wood and stone are shipped."

After answering this question, Ah Xuan looked at Mingwei.

He needs to figure out why he brought so many refugees here. Shouldn't they be sent to the more prosperous south?

Mingwei slowly drank a cup of tea before answering his question: "You need people."

Axuan was puzzled. Enough of the herdsmen!

Yang Shu and Ning Xiu were thoughtful.

There are indeed enough people to run Gaotang Ranch, but if you want to do more, just a hundred herdsmen are not enough.

"There are some craftsmen among them. If you want to build a house, you can ask them to do it themselves."

A Xuan's eyes lit up: "Great! We are short of craftsmen. It's several days' journey from here to the nearest county, and there aren't many craftsmen there. Miss Ming, where did you find these people? of?"

Ming smiled and said: "I picked it up on the road."

"Ah?" Ah Xuan was confused, "How come you can pick up anything..."

"Let me tell you!" Duofu volunteered. ~IndoMTL.com~ It has not been an easy journey for them as masters and slaves. We set off from the capital in early November and entered the northwest region half a month later, and then encountered heavy snow.

The snow fell very heavily last winter, but the people living in the towns were fine. In some remote places where the government could not control them, many refugees appeared.

As Mingwei walked and picked up, the team got bigger and bigger, and in the end there were more than a hundred people gathered.

With so many people, food and clothing are all problems that need to be solved. Fortunately, she brought a lot of money, so she could afford it. But the journey was not that easy, so we simply stopped in a small county town. It wasn't until the beginning of spring that I started to hit the road again.

After Duofu finished speaking, Mingwei slowly pulled out a thick stack of deed papers: "Anyone who is willing to come with me has signed a living contract. They will have to work for me for at least ten years. You can send them as you please. Don’t worry about anything.”

A Xuan was happy at first, then a little worried: "Miss Ming, it would be nice to have some people, but our ranch may not be able to support so many people..."

"Don't worry, we have money."

Ah Xuan smiled bitterly: "It's no use having money here! It's too desolate, there's no place to buy anything."

Ming smiled and said: "Who said that? It won't be desolate in two years."

Axuan didn’t understand.

Ning Xiu frowned and said: "This is the pastoral supervisor of Daqi. Every year, a superior officer comes to inspect and lead the horses. It is not a place where you can just enclose a piece of land and do whatever you want."

Mingwei turned to look at Yang Shu: "Young Master Yang, who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, is suddenly demoted to a place where birds don't poop. He is very uncomfortable. Therefore, in order to live a more comfortable life, it is necessary to build more Buy some houses, buy some manpower, recruit some caravans...right?"
