Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 249: Reusable Gel Warmer ( 1 )

Yao Zhi leaned closer and said, "That’s called mulch. It’s made of bark, compost, straw, leaves, and grass. It can decompose over time and enrich the soil. But for now, it will keep the soil from freezing due to the cold temperature."

Although he couldn’t understand everything, Ling Shi’er knew that this thing was good for farming. Standing up, he muttered under his breath, "It would be great if my people could learn how to farm. With enough food, there will be no need for war."

Unable to catch his words, Yao Zhi asked, "Shi’er, what are you saying?"

"It’s nothing," Ling Shi’er shook his head. "Master, do you need me to do anything?"

Hearing this, Yao Zhi nodded. "Help me clean the shed. I will boil some water for us to wash up."

"Understood."

With him helping her, Yao Zhi had more time. After she fed the wolf cubs and her donkey, she prepared breakfast for herself and Ling Shi’er.

The two of them ate in the kitchen, and she said, "Today, I plan to check on your brothers and sisters’ condition. I also need to check the progress of fence building on my land at Zhu’an Town."

"Do you want to follow me or stay to watch the house?" she asked.

"Master, I will go with you," Ling Shi’er said without hesitation.

"Okay. We will leave after breakfast."

After breakfast, Yao Zhi locked the doors and left with Ling Shi’er. They went to the abandoned temple, where she changed her donkey cart to her horse carriage and put on her disguise.

When they arrived at Zhu’an Town, the sun was rising, and the number of people entering the town was low.

This was not the first time the town guards had seen her visiting the town. Seeing the familiar face, they didn’t bother to check her introduction letter anymore and let them in after they paid the entrance fee.

When they arrived at the storefront, it was only 7:15 in the morning. After Ling Shi’er parked the horse carriage in the back alley, he knocked on the door.

Soon after, the door was opened, and Ling Yi gestured for him to come in. Only after they entered the backyard did Yao Zhi come down from the carriage.

Seeing her, Ling Yi bowed and greeted her. "Master."

Yao Zhi waved her hand and said, "Let’s talk inside."

"Yes."

Since this was not a proper house, she could only sit in the store and wait. In less than 10 minutes, everyone had gathered and stood in front of her, while Ling Shi’er stood behind her.

She observed their complexions and was satisfied when she saw that they were in good condition.

"How is everyone?" she asked.

"Master, we are doing well. Our injuries are almost healed, and we can do heavy work now," Ling Yi replied.

Yao Zhi thought about the inconvenience of changing her identities and said, "From now on, Ling Shi’er will be the one who relays my messages or orders to you."

"The Ling team will follow me to my warehouse. In the future, I will build workshops, expand my warehouse, and build dormitories there. 15 of you will stay there to supervise everything for me, and the rest will stay in this storefront to keep the Xi team safe."

"After the new year, I plan to open a snack store and will teach you the recipes. Xi Yi will be responsible for managing the store and supervising everything."

After she said this, she glanced at them and asked, "Are there any questions?"

"No, Master," everyone replied in unison.

At first, she thought that the Ling team might have a complaint about Ling Shi’er being promoted as their leader. Unexpectedly, they accepted this arrangement so calmly. It was as if they were used to him being their leader.

After a moment of silence, she turned to Xi Yi and said, "I will go check on Xi Qi. Xi Yi, you follow me."

"Yes, Master."

They went to the side building while the rest went to do their own things. As soon as they entered the room, the little boy looked at her warily.

Seeing her son had woken up, Xi Yi walked over and said, "Xi Qi, don’t be afraid. This is our Master. He is the one who saved our lives."

Hearing his mother’s words, Xi Qi finally nodded but said nothing. Yao Zhi walked over and sat at the edge of the bed. She gestured for the boy to come closer and touched his forehead.

After a moment, she asked, "Does he not know how to talk?"

Xi Yi shook her head and replied while holding back her tears, "Replying to the Master, the physician said that the fever burned his mind, and it caused him to be unable to talk. In the future, he will also have trouble learning."

When she heard this, Yao Zhi felt pity for the boy. He was still young, but due to the circumstances, he had to spend the rest of his life living as a fool.

She thought for a moment and made up her mind. "Xi Yi, I might be able to heal your son. But he must follow me from then on and will no longer be able to stay with you. Are you willing?"

The moment she heard this, Xi Yi kneeled down and said, "Master, as long as you can cure my son, I’m willing to do anything."

Yao Zhi stood up and said, "You should spend your time with him. After I return from checking my land, I will bring him away with me."

"Thank you, Master," Xi Yi kowtowed to her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

After leaving the room, Yao Zhi called the Ling team and went to her warehouse with them. They rode the cart while she sat in the carriage.

When they arrived at the warehouse, the workers were building the wall near the warehouse. Seeing her coming, Luo Bo quickly walked over and greeted her, "Young Master Lei, you are here."
