“Also, if you want to build white walls and gray tiles like this, the courtyard must be paved with bluestone. I’m afraid you’ll have to go to Huai Country to get them. We can’t buy the materials in this small town.”
“Don’t worry about the silver, as long as the house can be built in the end…”
“It’s definitely possible, but the construction period would be long. ”
Zhao Zhan was worried. “Can we move in before it snows?”
“You definitely can’t move in before it starts snowing. The weather here is very cold. It’ll be two months at most. It’s impossible to build a house so quickly and move in.”
Zhao Zhan would definitely not let his lover rot in a cave.
The weather wasn’t too cold now, so it wasn’t a big deal if she liked to live there. However, in winter, the snow would reach as high as one’s calf. The cave was cold, and the fire would attract small animals. It was really not a suitable place to live.
“How about this? Tell me what you want to buy first, and then what kind of land I have to clean up before the foundation is laid. I’ll start working on it in the next two days. When your feet are better, we’ll start work.”
According to the current situation, it would be a win-win situation.
Zhao Zhan didn’t want to wait any longer. In any case, he couldn’t take out all 300 silver at once. He could just earn as he covered.
“I was planning to rest on my own. Since you’re so anxious, I’ll go find a doctor to prescribe me some medicine. I can’t delay your home.”
After talking to Master Fu, Zhao Zhan strolled around the town and bought some things for Yue Jiaojiao. He did not go home directly, but turned around halfway and headed straight up the mountain.
Last time, the tiger was severely injured by him with a dagger. This time, he wanted to enter the mountain and try to see if he could bump into the tiger again.
Even though he had changed his route, Zhao Zhan was still able to quickly find the place where the chilies grew. He deliberately made some noise in the mountains, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn’t see the tiger.
Knowing that they might not meet today, Zhao Zhan simply dug a trap where he stood.
By the time he was done, the sun was already setting in the sky. Worried that Yue Jiaojiao had not eaten at home, Zhao Zhan packed his things and returned to the cave first.
“Why did you come back so late today?”
Yue Jiaojiao was lying lazily on the chair with one of her legs dangling outside. As she spoke, she tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Zhan. “Did you even shower today? Did you go hunting in the mountains just now?”
“I didn’t catch any prey.”
Zhao Zhan didn’t want her to worry, so he replied ambiguously. Then, he placed the desserts in the basket on a plate where Yue Jiaojiao could reach. “Have some desserts to fill your stomach first. I’ll go cook.”
Beside the plate, there was even a warm handkerchief that could be used to wipe her hands.
Yue Jiaojiao felt that she had been pampered a little too much, but who wouldn’t like to be pampered like this?
“Zhao Zhan, I won’t need to wear a thick robe for the next two days. What you gave me kept me warm. Plus, it’ll be hot for the next four to five days.”
Following Yue Jiaojiao’s movements, Zhao Zhan realized that her clothes were loosely draped over her body. Although she was wearing undergarments to cover her up, his ears still turned red and he frantically avoided her gaze.
Yue Jiaojiao tugged at her collar.
It couldn’t be helped. The clothes that Zhao Zhan had bought for her were a little thick, and she had to wear a layer of undergarments inside. She was used to the air conditioning and really felt a little stuffy.
