Chapter 303: Hard Work
Ning Yan calmly accepted everyone's gazes. He finished the last bite of sweet potato in his hand, then turned to Huo Xi and said with a smile, "How about I help you out a little bit?"
In the past, he had never thought about becoming the ruler of the world. If it weren't for the famine, he might have lived a warm and stable life in Luofeng Village for the rest of his life.
However, since the famine has already occurred, the facts cannot be changed, and he is not without ability. Now that the time, place and people are all right, why should he refuse?
When the world is unified and the people are prosperous in the future, it will not be too late for them to consider other things.
Ning Jian doesn't have any traditional idea that brothers can't be kings, but husband and wife are one body, so this matter? Brothers have to share the burden. Being a king requires taking care of a lot of things, and who would want to be tired when they can just sit idle?
What's more, Huo is not without the ability. He has everything from martial arts to brains. He just doesn't want to do it.
So it is more appropriate for the king's brother to do this, and he will assist from the side.
This can also consume Huo?'s energy and allow him to do less other things. As for what other things are, those who understand will understand.
Upon hearing this, Huo turned to look at Ning Yan, without saying a word, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes had an ambiguous look.
Ning Yan received the signal, leaned in closer and whispered, "Don't worry, you will definitely benefit from it in the future."
Hearing this, Huo Cai said with a pitiful look on his face: "Okay then, I'll listen to my wife."
It doesn’t matter whether you want to be one or not, but you still have to do what you should do.
Even if he doesn't become the king, given the current situation, he still has a lot to do in the future, the only difference is whether he has this title or not.
Ye Buli didn't know what Ning Yan said to Huo Xi that made Huo Xi agree, but he knew Huo Xi's character best. He was the typical one who took advantage of others and still acted ungratefully. However, he was too lazy to expose him.
The current result is exactly what he hoped for. When a disaster occurs, the people at the bottom of society always suffer the most. In the future, there will definitely be wars between various countries and new forces.
Although he never likes to meddle in other people's affairs, he is still clear-headed when it comes to major issues.
Since Huo Xi and Ning Gang have the ability, it would be most appropriate to let them do it. The sooner unification is achieved, the less suffering the people will suffer.
No one was surprised by Ning Yan and Huo Yan's decision, as if it was the most normal thing. Following Ning Yan, they might have the opportunity to achieve great things in the future.
A year ago, this was something no one had ever thought of, but now it has become a reality, which feels a bit like a dream.
Afterwards, everyone started to eat roasted sweet potatoes lively. After eating, the coldness on their bodies had dissipated and their clothes were dry, so they prepared to go back to sleep.
It was already past midnight when dawn broke and the heavy snow had stopped. Ning Jian slept for a while and then got up.
I checked the map and found that although it was sunny during the day, it would still snow or rain at night, and the weather would be like this for the next few days.
This was the first time he had seen such alternating weather. It was summer during the day, with the highest temperature reaching over 40 degrees Celsius, and winter at night, with the lowest temperature close to zero degrees Celsius.
Such hot and cold behavior is rare.
Ning Jian got up. Huo Jian felt no point in sleeping since there was no one in his arms, so he got up too.
Bai Lifen and Ning Chengyong didn't sleep much to begin with, so they woke up after an hour's sleep and helped with the cooking.
Only Ning Lu and the two babies were still sleeping soundly.
The rest of the people got up one after another and did their own things. Shang Chenyi and Ye Buli were sitting at a table nearby eating breakfast.
Seeing that the two of them were awake, Shang Chenyi called out, "Brother Zheng, Brother Huo, come and have dinner."
Ning Yan responded, then he and Huo Xi served some food, put it on the table, and sat cross-legged on the floor.
The table was only knee-high and was used for eating. It had no benches, but there was straw on the floor.
Huo Yu took a sip of porridge and asked, "Brother Xu, have they gone to investigate the situation nearby?"
Shang Chenyi said: "Yes, I also looked around Mangshan, but didn't find anything."
After looking around the outskirts of Mangshan, we didn't find any suspicious people or objects, but we found some traces left by the group of people yesterday. But they were useless because the heavy snow covered the traces of their departure, and these people disappeared afterwards.
They didn't go into Mangshan, not because they were worried about poisoning, after all, Ning Yan had medicine, but mainly because they were not familiar with the situation inside and were afraid of getting lost. Another reason was that it was snowing when they went out in the morning, so they couldn't stay outside for too long.
Huo nodded when he heard this.
Shang Chenyi added, "General Xu said he wants to borrow your Xiaobai when he goes out again."
Animals have a keen sense of smell and might be able to find the group's hiding place.
Then he suggested, "Why don't we take Xiaobai to that mountain to have a look? Maybe we can find the difference."
Xiaobai used to live in the mountains, maybe he can help.
Ning Jian also had the same idea and said, "Let's go together later. Let Brother Xu stay behind to guard."
Among the group, apart from Ye Buli and Huo?, General Xu has the highest martial arts skills. They don't know how long they will stay outside, so it is safer to leave General Xu here to guard.
Ye Buli and the other person had no objection to this.
After dinner, Huo Yun and Ning Jing just woke up.
Hearing that Ning Jian was going to take the cat outside, Huo Yun immediately got up from the ground and said, "Dad, I want to go too."
Ning Jing rubbed his eyes when he heard that, sat up with the cat in his arms, looked at Ning Yan, and said that he wanted to go too.
Seeing this, Ning Yan said, "Then go eat first, and then we'll set off."
Upon hearing this, the two of them ran towards the dining table quickly, forgetting to wash their faces.
Ning Yu was woken up and sat up yawning. He heard Ning Yan say to him, "Let's go out for a while. You and Brother Xu will keep an eye on this place."
Ning Yu made a gesture to indicate that he understood.
After Huo Yun and the other person finished their meal, Bai Lifen gave them some water, wiped their faces, and then let them leave.
Shang Chenyi picked up Ning Jing and said to him with a smile, "How about riding a horse with uncle?"
The two children in Zhengge'er's family are smart and good-looking, and he likes them very much.
He and Ali will never be able to have their own children in this life, but there is no regret. However, it does not affect his love for children, especially the brothers Huo Yun and Ning Jing.
Ning Jing nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
Uncle Shang is also good-looking, and he likes him too.
Shang Chenyi said to Ning Yan after hearing this: "Brother Yan, I will take Xiao Jing with me."
As he said that, he picked up Ning Jing and put him on the horse, and then he got on too.
Ning Yan had no objection to this. After all, someone was taking care of the children for him, so he was happy to have some free time.
On the other side, Huo? and Huo Yun mounted their horses, and the rest of the people also mounted their horses, and they set off.
The sun is shining brightly at this moment, the snow on the ground has melted, and the road is a little muddy.
The group headed straight for the mountain they had reached yesterday.
