Li Xin'an was surprised to find that the construction experts mentioned by Lu Lao turned out to be two dwarves, short in stature, rough in appearance, with a big hammer in their hands covered with heavy calluses, looking short and fierce.

One of them had a wrinkled face, skin like iron, and muscles on his body that were high and bulging, and he looked full of power, while the other was a little younger than him, with a little less muscle, but also very strong.

As soon as these dwarves came in and greeted Lu Lao briefly, they came to their seats and said to Li Xin'an: "If you want to make a good impression on us, you have to have a good amount of wine, one or two glasses is not enough, one barrel is enough!"

Li Xin'an didn't say much, he directly took out the ten jars of wine he had just bought in the wine shop from Mo Xue, opened the wine seal, and the smell of wine immediately filled the entire room.

He put an altar in front of him, and then placed an altar in front of the two dwarves and Lu Lao, and said, "I may not be able to drink well, but I will definitely not disappoint my friends, let's not get drunk tonight." ”

The two dwarves burst out laughing, and the older one smiled and said, "Well said, boy, you are to my taste, come and drink." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a jar of wine and drank half of the jar, and said in admiration: "Cool!

Li Xin'an could only pick up the wine jar, drank it in a big gulp, and forcibly drank half of the jar, only to feel that his stomach was turning over and over, and his brain was a little dizzy.

"Damn, this won't work, these dwarves are too good to drink, we have to find a way to make them drink more, and I drink less. ”

Li Xin'an drank wine and thought about what to do.

After drinking half a jar of wine, Li Xin'an thought of a solution.

He showed the half-drunk jar to the dwarves, and the two dwarves immediately praised them, completely different from the silence at the beginning.

"Hahaha, you're heroic among humans, I thought humans were a bunch of, come and drink. ”

Li Xin'an burped and said unhurriedly: "It's so boring to just drink, it's better to drink while playing a drinking game." ”

The dwarves were also interested, "How to play the drinking game?"

Li Xin'an said with a smile: "The name of this game is Bangbang Chicken, there are four things in the game, namely tigers, Bangbang, chickens, insects, stipulating that Bangbang beats the tiger, the tiger eats the chicken, the chicken eats the worm, the worm drills the stick, the two are opposite, holding chopsticks or other similar sticks to knock on the table, shouting "Bang Bang, Bang Bang," and then shouting one of the above four things at the same time, the loser will be punished for drinking, if the two shout the same, or shout the stick and the chicken at the same time, the worm and the tiger will not win. ”

The dwarf said, "Sounds interesting, come and play with it." ”

"Okay! come!" Li Xin'an secretly showed a triumphant smile.

He doesn't drink much, but he's still very good at playing games.

Especially in the face of these simple-minded dwarves, he only played three games to get a clear picture of the dwarves' game habits, and could judge what they were going to do next based on the dwarves' facial expressions and their game habits.

So in the first few games of the game, Li Xinan and the dwarves won and lost.

But later, almost all the dwarves lost, and Li Xin'an occasionally deliberately lost a handful to make the game not seem so one-sided.

Although they kept losing, the dwarves still had a good time, and their friendship with Li Xin'an quickly sublimated, and they almost became interracial brothers with Li Xin'an.

The two dwarves are called Oak Shield Wright, and the other is Vane the Gravelbreaker, whose names are a little strange, but their personalities are straightforward and refreshing, and they love to talk and laugh after drinking, and Li Xin'an also has a good impression of these dwarves and has a lot of fun.

In this way, everyone drank all the ten jars of fine wine, and drank half of the wine in Li Xin'an's Juyuan Immortal Huli, and the two dwarves finally couldn't resist anymore and fainted to the ground.

And Li Xin'an also drank a few catties, and even with the physique of a transcendent person, he had some dizziness.

Lu Lao didn't participate in the game on the grounds of his age, but just drank by himself, and drank very little wine, so he was very sober at this time, and said to Li Xin'an with a smile: "Haha, it's done, just take them to the piece of land you allocated early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Xin'an was drunk, and after sending the dwarf back to their room with Lu Lao, he said goodbye to Lu Lao, returned to his own room in Frost City, and fell asleep.

......

"Knock! knock!"

Li Xin'an was woken up by a knock on the door, he drank too much yesterday, and now his head is still groggy and slightly painful.

"Who! early in the morning!"

He muttered quietly, got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Xiao Hei standing outside the door with two short, strange-looking humanoids.

Xiao Hei reported to Li Xin'anyu: "Report to your lordship! I met these two on patrol this morning, and they said they wanted to see you!"

Li Xin'an rubbed his eyes, looked at the few people in front of him carefully, and said in surprise: "Wright! Wayne! Why are you here, weren't you very drunk yesterday? Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Wright smiled and said, "Hahaha, what is that bit of wine, we weren't drunk, just slightly drunk, slightly drunk." The industrious dwarves get up early, let's go, and finish the day's work. ”

The dwarves quibbled that they weren't drunk yesterday, Li Xin'an smiled, didn't debunk it, and said with a smile:

"Okay! ”

He went into the house, washed his face, put a garment on his body, and led the dwarves to the shore of the hot spring lake.

This is the warmest area of Frost City, and the scenery is also the most beautiful.

Only the few people who contributed the most in this battle were allocated a piece of land here where they could build buildings, and Li Xin'an was naturally one of them.

The hot spring lake is endless, the lake water is clear, the lake surface is wafting with pieces of white smoke, some heat-resistant lotus, reeds and other aquatic creatures are scattered in the white smoke, and the fish full of spirituality are jumping and playing among the plants, looking full of fairy spirit.

And the lakeside is covered with grass and dotted with colorful flowers, clean and beautiful.

The dwarves were also stunned and admired the beauty of the place for a while.

Then he asked Li Xin'an about the architectural style he wanted.

Li Xin'an thought for a while, and said that he wanted to be close to nature, full of charm, full of practical value, he could grow vegetables and raise small animals, and he would have a clean and elegant garden style that would not be bland.

The dwarves said yes, surveyed the environment, designed a plan and started construction.

They carried a backpack, and kept taking out delicate construction tools and building materials from the backpack, and the construction speed was extremely fast, and there was almost an afterimage.

These dwarves not only possess superb construction skills, but also seem to be extremely strong, and when working piling, they can smash a wooden stake several meters high directly into the ground with a single hammer, and Li Xin'an feels that they may even have the strength of a fourth-level transcendent.

Li Xin'an wanted to go up to help, but he slowed down the speed of the construction, so he could only stand and watch, and constantly handed them good wine and food while they were resting.

In less than half a day, the dwarves completed all the work and built a garden building that far exceeded Li Xin'an's expectations.

According to Li Xin'an's requirements, the garden style is simple and generous, full of charm.

In the middle of the garden is the residential area, there is a large yard, and around the yard is the garden, bamboo forest, woods, farms, pastures, breeding areas and other areas, in the north of the garden also deliberately from the hot spring lake to lead a lake in, forming a lake, over time will be a beautiful scenery.

The cleverly conceived roads extend from the residential area to other areas, and the gardens are also full of pavilions, landscape walls, boats, pavilions and other buildings.

These buildings echo each other, and the materials used are extraordinary, and have the effect of gathering aura, and the concentration of aura here is far greater than elsewhere, even if ordinary people live here, it will be of great benefit.

The dwarves also set up a defensive formation here, which was able to withstand the three attacks of the fourth-level transcendents.

Li Xin'an looked at this beautiful garden and secretly thought: "Grandma can grow vegetables, raise flowers, and raise pets in this way, so that she won't be bored." ”

The stone crusher Vane said to Li Xin'an: "Time is too tight, we can only build this level." ”

The dwarf had a straightforward personality, and Li Xin'an knew that they were really not very satisfied with this garden, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Haha, it's already good to build such a good garden in such a short time, I'm very satisfied." Let's go drink, brothers!"

The dwarves suddenly became happy and said, "Hahaha, we lost to you yesterday, we won't lose today, let's go play the game of Bang Bang Chicken!"

Li Xin'an also smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll be with you to the end!"

There are several restaurants in Frost City that have already opened, Li Xin'an took them to the one with the best environment and the best reviews, asked for a private room, served a table of the best dishes in the restaurant, ate and drank, and played drinking games at the same time.

The food here is spicy and spicy, and the taste of the wine is much worse than yesterday's, but it is stronger to drink.

The dwarves didn't care, but praised the wine for its taste.

Li Xin'an immediately played a game with them, Li Xin'an praised his lover's superb construction skills, and the dwarves praised Li Xin'an for being hospitable, and several people pushed cups and changed lamps, very happy.

Halfway through the drink, everyone was a little drunk, and Vane said that he was not only skilled in building, but also skilled in repairing imperial tools.

Li Xin'an thought about it, and immediately took out the armor that Chen Ze had punched a few big holes, and asked Wayne if he could help repair it, Wayne took the armor, took out the tools from the storage emperor's tool, and spent half an hour repairing it as good as ever.

Li Xin'an praised again, and several people started playing games and drinking wine again.

Of course, there is no doubt that the dwarves have been poured down again, and Li Xin'an only drank less than a pound of wine this time, and he is still very sober.

He called a few rebel warriors to take the dwarves back to their quarters in the caravan, put all the money he had on him with the dwarves, and then took out twenty jars of good wine from the ink snow, and then placed two more Elixir pills beside them, and wrote down the efficacy of the elixir.

Yesterday he secretly asked Lu Lao how much it would cost to build a garden building, and Lu Lao replied that after becoming a good friend of the dwarves, the dwarves would not ask you for money.

But Li Xin'an at least wants them to keep the cost, and if they build an ordinary garden, the cost is about 100 purple thunder gold.

The value of these things that Li Xin'an placed next to the dwarf should be more than the cost of building the garden.

Subsequently, Li Xin'an left the caravan station, returned to Frost City, and asked Lin Ying to help introduce a woman with good medical skills and a clean net worth from the medical hall in Frost City to be her grandmother's nanny.

Lin Ying introduced a middle-aged woman named Peony, who looked shrewd and capable, had good medical skills, had an innocent family background, was not a nobleman, and had respect for Li Xin'an.

This person looks clean and capable, from a low-level resident of Frost City, who has not been affected by this war, and is very grateful to Li Xin'an, and is willing to take care of Li Xin'an's grandmother.

After communicating with her for a while, Li Xin'an finally agreed to let her take care of her grandmother and invited her to live in the courtyard.

Later, Li Xin'an chose two kind-hearted homeless women from the homeless people, a homeless couple, to live in the garden, help grandma take care of the garden, and this quiet garden suddenly became lively.

Li Xin'an did not directly tell his grandmother the news where he lives now, and he didn't know how to tell his grandmother that he wanted to leave, and that he still had one more thing to do.

Although Zhou Wenwen doesn't pay much attention to him now, he still has to do what he promised Zhou Wenwen, otherwise he will be a person who has no promise.

Li Xin'an wandered around the Frost City, asking the old people who had lived in the Frost City for a long time, asking if they had ever seen a snow monster.

There are different opinions among the old people, some say that the snow monster is in the Lingxue Mountain Range, and some say that the snow monster has transformed into a human form and entered the Frost City, but there is no definite news.

Before he knew it, it was already dark, and Li Xin'an was wandering around the west of Frost City at this time, asking for news.

The inhabitants here are all supporters of the rebels, so they were not harmed after the rebels' victory, they still live in the same area, and the rebels have also given them some money to improve their lives, and there will definitely be better treatment in the future.

The eastern part of Frost City is almost entirely inhabited by nobles, and they are now all imprisoned in a makeshift prison, awaiting their fate.

"Alas, after asking for a long time, there is still no useful news, the most common thing that the old people say is that the snow monster is in the Lingxue Mountain Range, but there is no exact location or range, but the Lingxue Mountain Range is so big, where can I find it? ”

Li Xin'an was a little frustrated, and decided to try his luck in the Lingxue Mountains if he couldn't ask for any more news.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of an argument coming from the room next to him.

A spicy female voice came: "How can you eat it so much, you will eat all my freshly steamed steamed buns directly!!

A neutral but fearful male voice responded: "Oops, oops, light, your ears are red from you, I don't want to eat so much, but I'm hungry!"

This man's voice Li Xin'an felt a little familiar, so he stopped and hid at the door to listen to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help laughing, it seemed that the hostess was blaming her husband for being too good at eating!

"That's 20 steamed buns! If you're hungry, you can eat 20 big steamed buns at once?"

"Woo, I was wrong, I don't want to, but the food you humans make contains too little energy, I need to eat more to be full!"

Li Xin'an was stunned for a moment, looked into the room, and the man spoke a little strangely.

"I don't care, give me less food in the future!!

"Cuihua, dissipate your anger! I'll go to the Lingxue Mountains tomorrow to catch some prey and come back and sell it for money. ”

......

The quarrel in the house continued, Li Xin'an looked at this seemingly ordinary dilapidated house, thought about it and decided to go in and have a look.

He knocked softly on the door, and the quarrel in the room came to an abrupt end, and after a while, the wooden door of the room was suddenly opened, and out came a low, stout man.

Li Xin'an felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize it, and he didn't see anything special about this man.

The man said brutally, "What's wrong?"

Li Xin'an smiled and said kindly: "Haha, it's okay, I just heard you arguing, and I wanted to come over and persuade you, family and everything is prosperous!"

The stout man said impatiently, "Hey, I said what does it matter to you that we are arguing!

Then a plump woman, who looked very shrewd, came into the room, and she pinched the arm of the stout man and motioned for him to step aside.

Then he smiled and said to Li Xin'an: "Haha, our family has such a donkey temper, don't you mind." Such a handsome young man, with a good heart, come to the house to sit, freshly steamed steamed buns, and stewed meat, come and eat some. ”

Li Xin'an looked at the man's unkind gaze, and refused with a smile: "Haha, I still have something to do, so I won't bother the two of you, if there is anything between husband and wife, discuss it well, don't always quarrel." ”

"Okay, thank you. The plump woman said to the ideal with a smile.

Li Xinan waved goodbye to the two, and then walked towards his residence.

Although he didn't see anything special about the short man, and he didn't even feel the fluctuation of the aura, Li Xin'an could see that he was definitely not very human, because he felt the danger just now.

The instincts of the transcendent are very keen, so there must be something wrong with this man, and he may not even be human, but he is also very powerful, tomorrow is the day when the Ling Xue Empire is established, Li Xin'an is unwilling to cause trouble again, so he left.

He decided to come again tomorrow after the founding ceremony was completed.

Then Li Xin'an went directly back to the residence, said hello to his grandmother, had a meal together, and returned to the room.

He didn't sleep directly, but took out a few books to read, these books were books describing the customs and customs of Zhongzhou, and there were some maps and other things on them, which were lent to him by Lin Ying.

In the past few days, Li Xin'an will study words and read books whenever he has time, and he has now mastered the writing of Zhongzhou and the writing of Shayu.

After reading for a while, sleepiness hit, and Li Xin'an put the book next to his pillow and fell asleep.
