The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

274 Invitation

“Because there’s no time, I could only get someone to build some wooden thatched houses first. I originally planned to let some people stay here first before building a house. Now that so many of you are here, I’m afraid it’ll be too crowded!” Luo Cheng looked at the people around him and then at the thatched houses.

The hundred or so people behind Luo Cheng also knew that it wouldn’t be easy to settle them down, so they didn’t complain when they learned that they all had to be jammed in the straw hut.

At this moment, they were looking at the barren mountain with anticipation and longing for their future.

“What are you all waiting for? Form your own teams and see how many rooms there are and how many people can live here. One room per team. Don’t think that just because you guys were discharged, you don’t have to follow the rules of the army!” Elder Xu looked at everyone and shouted loudly.

!!

As soon as he said this, the group of men immediately ran towards the straw hut not far away and watched.

Before long, the group of men finished choosing their rooms.

Li Xiaoran widened her eyes at the scene in front of her.

It turned out that they didn’t have to worry about settling this group of men at all. They had settled everything themselves.

“How is it? Are you very surprised? The soldiers under me are not warriors who only know how to fight. The battlefield is very cruel. If you want to survive, not only do you need to be skilled in combat, but you also need all kinds of skills. Some of these people are missing limbs, but they are very smart. As long as you give them a little help, they can get the job done!” Elder Xu said proudly when he saw Li Xiaoran’s expression.

Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything and only gave a thumbs up.

“What does that mean?” Elder Xu asked.

“This means that I’m praising you guys for being very impressive! Thumbs up means first place, and it also means the best!” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.

“Wife, let’s go. They don’t need us here anymore! We have to go to town to buy more food! The food here isn’t enough to last this group of people ten days!” Luo Cheng suddenly shouted.

Li Xiaoran nodded with realization and came to Luo Cheng’s side.

“Wait!” Elder Xu stopped Luo Cheng and the others.

“I know that I was wrong to bring so many people without informing you, so I brought some food. A few carts of food will be sent over later. It should be enough to last them a month! However, my resources are limited, so I’ll have to trouble you guys to take care of them later on!” Elder Xu looked at Luo Cheng as he said.

Luo Cheng turned around when he heard Elder Xu’s words.

“Don’t worry. Since I’ve already said that I’ll take them in and settle them down, I won’t go back on my word. Elder Xu, you know my temper. If anyone sent over here has any ill intentions, I won’t show mercy!”

Elder Xu nodded. He could understand Luo Cheng’s actions.

“Although the people I sent over have already been checked, it doesn’t mean that the investigation is really foolproof. If there’s really a traitor, just deal with him however you see fit!”

With Elder Xu’s assurance, Luo Cheng was relieved.

“Kid, are you still angry at me? Why don’t you let me stay at your house for a few days?” Elder Xu teased when he saw that Luo Cheng’s expression had eased up.

Luo Cheng glanced at Elder Xu and snorted.

“My humble residence can’t accommodate a big shot like you!”

Li Xiaoran could feel that Luo Cheng was being sarcastic.

It seemed that there must be some history between the old man and Luo Cheng that made them speak to each other so sarcastically.

“Old man, don’t listen to my husband’s nonsense. It doesn’t matter how long you want to stay! People often say that having an old person at home is a blessing. This is the first time we have to settle so many people down, so we might need your advice!” Li Xiaoran took the initiative to give him a way out.

Elder Xu naturally wouldn’t argue with Luo Cheng. Moreover, he knew why Luo Cheng was acting like this, so he didn’t mind.

He was overjoyed to be able to live in the Luo family’s home!

“Hahahaha, you’re a good girl. I’ll stay here then! Speaking of which, I might have to stay for ten days to half a month!”

When Luo Cheng heard Elder Xu’s words, he thought of something.

“Did something happen in the palace?”

When Elder Xu saw that Luo Cheng had instantly grasped the main point, the smile on his face disappeared.

“You’re still so shrewd. I didn’t even say anything, but you’ve already guessed it correctly! Leave those things to the younger generation to worry about! I’m old, so I might as well enjoy some peace and unwind!”

Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else this time.

“In that case, why don’t you stay for a month or two and watch me get married? You can leave after you drink my wedding toast!”

“Married? You two haven’t gotten married yet?” Elder Xu asked in surprise.

“We have a marriage contract, but I still owe my wife a wedding ceremony, so I plan to hold the wedding ceremony at the beginning of March. You’re my elder after all, so play the role of my parent!” Luo Cheng said.

When Elder Xu heard Luo Cheng’s words, he felt a lump in his throat. In the end, he nodded with red eyes.

“Alright, alright, alright! I’ll watch you get married on behalf of your mother. I think your mother will be at ease if she sees you marry such a good wife!”

With that, Elder Xu turned his body to the side and secretly wiped his teary eyes with his sleeve.

Luo Cheng’s heart softened when he saw this.

“Rest here now and talk to your wife! I’ll go explain to those people. We’ll go back later!”

Elder Xu nodded and pretended that nothing had happened.

“Alright, go! These brats need to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they will definitely cause trouble!”

Luo Cheng nodded and looked at Li Xiaoran.

“Don’t worry, I’ll accompany the old man. Go ahead!” Before Luo Cheng could speak, Li Xiaoran smiled at Luo Cheng and said.

Luo Cheng nodded and walked towards the straw hut.

Li Xiaoran watched Luo Cheng leave with a smile.

“This brat is finally showing some human emotions! In the past, whenever I looked at him, he always had a straight face! He was so intimidating that no one dared to approach him!” Elder Xu sighed.
