Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly.
Cai Yan was really out of place with the women of this era.
She was as competitive as modern women and refused to admit defeat.
She was definitely not a lady from a noble family in the traditional sense.
Zhao Feng suspected that Cai Yong's eagerness to marry Cai Yan had something to do with Cai Yan's personality.
……
The next morning.
At daybreak, everyone got up and got busy.
The old man who knew carpentry led a group of people and began to cut down trees.
If he wanted to build a house, the more wood he had, the better.
The bricklayer was also preparing to work with the carpenter to build the house.
The blacksmith also took out his tools.
Forging arrowheads, sharpening knives, forging new knives, forging spears, he was extremely busy.
The chef started preparing to cook.
A group of women helped the chef.
There was also a group of women gathering wild vegetables.
As for Cai Yan, she was surrounded by seven to eight children.
Children were smarter and could tell that Cai Yan was pretty and would tell them stories, so they naturally liked to surround her.
He chased after Cai Yan and asked her to tell him a story.
The harmonious scene finally made Mount Whitewave look lively.
There was a saying that men and women working together would not be tired.
Not to mention anything else, with a woman watching by his side, men would have more energy to work.
Zhao Feng didn't stay idle and brought Xu Huang and company out to hunt.
Logically speaking, he should have gained quite a lot from this trip down the mountain. He could sell the carriage and ox cart in exchange for ten catties of grain, which was equivalent to 1,200 catties of grain.
If there were only Zhao Feng and Cai Yan, then the two of them would be the same.
These ten catties of grain could last for about half a year. After all, it was meat, wild vegetables, and grain.
But now, it was impossible.
In an instant, there were more than a hundred people.
Originally, half a year's worth of food could only last for two months at most.
Now, he could only hunt as much as possible and get more wild vegetables to slow down the food consumption.
……
Five days later.
The construction of the houses was almost complete.
There were many young adults, so the construction speed was naturally very fast.
There were a total of 40 houses.
From the outside, although he looked ordinary, he was still quite good after entering the door.
The floor was made of wooden planks, and they were all laid out.
There was also a lot of furniture, wardrobes, stoves, and other daily necessities. It was very complete.
The house was also big enough.
A house could accommodate four to five people.
Most of them were families of four or five people, men, women, old and young. They all lived together, and it was similar to rural life.
? Zhao Feng's brothers could only live with a few big men.
? As the leader, Zhao Feng had his own room, and it was even more exquisite, making him stand out from the rest.
This made Cai Yan extremely unhappy and wanted to change rooms with Zhao Feng many times.
This was because Cai Yan's house was ordinary and she had to live with a servant girl. It wasn't as good as Zhao Feng's house.
? It didn't matter to Zhao Feng.
But the carpenter wasn't happy. He had prepared this for Zhao Feng.
Someone else lives here? Don't even think about it.
When Cai Yan saw this situation, he could not hold it in anymore.
There were simply too many people supporting Zhao Feng.
It was fine if Zhao Feng's brothers supported him, but the villagers only listened to Zhao Feng.
Even Cai Yan and the other guards started to call him canal marshal.
If this continued, Cai Yan was afraid that she would become a loner and no one would be willing to listen to her.
Because of this exquisite house, it triggered Cai Yan's final struggle.
Did Cai Yan really fight for the position of leader with Zhao Feng because of her little temper?
It wasn't.
One couldn't just look at one's appearance.
Cai Yan was cheerful, lively, and strong on the outside, but he was extremely insecure on the inside.
Because when she was eight or nine years old, Cai Yong had escaped to Jiangnan because of the ban.
Little Cai Yan was entrusted to the family.
Without the protection of relatives, Cai Yan's situation could naturally be imagined.
That was why she became competitive in everything. She knew that if she didn't fight for it, she wouldn't have any share.
Why did Cai Yan want to fight for the position of leader?
It was because she lacked a sense of security and was afraid that everyone would ignore her, treat her coldly, or even isolate her.
Cai Yan could see that Zhao Feng's group was not bad.
Especially Zhao Feng, who treated her very well and took care of her.
This made Cai Yan extremely moved.
But for many years, Cai Yan, who had always lacked a sense of security, was unable to cross this hurdle for a while.
She felt that the things in her hands were hers. She would rather suffer to protect others than become a target to be protected.
"Zhao Bolong, I want to compete with you. I want to be the leader. I want to prove to everyone that I'm stronger than you.”Cai Yan said angrily.
Zhao Feng helplessly shrugged.
"Little Yan, how do you want to compete? Can you stop fooling around?"
"Who's messing with you? I want to be the leader. I want to prove to everyone that I'm more suitable to be the leader than you.”
"This lady is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I'm better than you in all of them. Why can't I be the leader?”
"Then can you lead everyone to hunt? Can you bring people to the Tribulation Dao?"
"Why can't I? Don't look down on me. I've been learning martial arts since I was young. Even a few strong men can't get close to me.”
"If we really fight, you might not be my match.”
Zhao Feng had a suspicious attitude as he checked Cai Yan's strength.
He was indeed quite surprised because Cai Yan's martial strength had actually reached 75.
Cai Yan was really not bragging. He really had kung fu.
Among the eighty over youths, other than himself and Xu Huang, there was actually no one stronger than Cai Yan. This was f * cking ridiculous.
"Alright, but if we really want to compete in skills, even if I win, it won't be a fair win.”
"How about this, you choose one and we will compete. If I lose, I will let you be the leader.”
"My choice? Anything is fine. Are you serious?"
"Once a horse is out, it cannot be taken back. I, Zhao Bolong, naturally won't go back on my words.”
Cai Yan immediately smiled.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said to Zhao Feng,""I want to compete with you in music."
