Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 242: A Promiscuous Woman ( 4 )

Yao Zhi smiled and replied, "His name is Ling Shi’er."

"I will inform the villagers and record his name under your family," the Village Chief said.

"Thank you, Village Chief."

"It’s just a small matter."

"Village Chief, besides this matter, I also need another favor from you," Yao Zhi added.

"Oh? What is it?"

"I want to build a room for him. Although he is someone I bought, I can’t just let him sleep in the woodshed. If he gets sick and can’t work, I will be the one who loses money."

The Village Chief thought for a moment and asked, "When do you want to build the room?"

"I want to build it as soon as possible. The room doesn’t need to be large. Around 20 square meters is enough."

After she said this, Yang Sanlang said, "The room is not big. My brothers and I can finish it in two days."

As soon as she heard this, Yao Zhi’s eyes brightened. "That’s great! The weather is cold, so I’m willing to pay 35 Wen a day."

"Although the work takes only two days, the materials won’t be easy to get. The soil is hard, and the mud won’t dry quickly," Yang Erlang said.

Yao Zhi had already thought about it. Using bamboo was out of the question. Bamboo houses would have gaps, and cold wind would blow inside. Sleeping in such a cold place for a long time would harm the body.

"Brother Erlang, can we use wood to build the house?" she asked.

"Sister Yao, wood is a good material, and the price is not low. Are you sure you want to use wood to build a room for a slave?" Yang Erlang asked.

"Even if the room is used by Shi’er, it’s still my house. In the future, I might have another use for it."

Since she had said so, Yang Erlang nodded and said nothing.

Yao Zhi opened her purse and took out a 10-tael silver ingot. She handed the silver to the Village Chief and said, "Village Chief, sorry to trouble you with this matter."

"You have contributed to our village. Helping you with this small matter is nothing," the Village Chief said and accepted the money.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yao Zhi stood up and said, "Village Chief, I still have matters to attend to. So, I will take my leave now."

The Village Chief nodded and said, "Okay."

After leaving the Village Chief’s house, Yao Zhi returned home with Ling Shi’er. In the winter, there was not much work to do. So, she let him rest.

In her room, she bought an electric blanket from the system’s shop for 1,500 points. The blanket could last for 20 hours when fully charged.

She checked the battery level, and it was fully charged, so she didn’t need to charge it anymore. Afterward, she took out the old blankets owned by the original soul from the cabinet.

When she was done, she took out binchotan charcoal from her system’s storage and brought the things to the woodshed. "Shi’er, help me out."

Hearing her words, Ling Shi’er opened the woodshed’s door and quickly took the things from her hands. "Master, this is..."

"These are for you. We don’t have any extra beds, so you can only make do with sleeping on the ground. Pile up the firewood below, then use the old blankets as a mattress."

"This blanket is heated and can keep you warm at night. The brazier is in the kitchen. You can use the charcoal to keep the room warm," Yao Zhi explained.

Ling Shi’er looked at the strange thing in the new blanket and asked, "Master, what is this?"

Yao Zhi looked at the cord and said, "This is a heating material. When you press this, it will heat up the blanket. When you don’t use it, press it again to save energy."

"I already set it to auto turn off after 8 hours, so you don’t have to worry about causing a fire. If your blanket runs out of energy, just tell me, and I will recharge it."

Although Ling Shi’er couldn’t understand most of her words, he still got the gist of it. He nodded and replied, "Understood."

"Okay, you are still injured. Go get some rest. When it’s time for dinner, I will call you," Yao Zhi patted his shoulder before leaving.

When he was alone, Ling Shi’er did everything as he was told. The weather was cold, and he was injured. By now, his hands and feet were icy cold. He pressed the button and wrapped himself in the blanket.

Not long after, he felt the blanket warming up. The size of the blanket was big, and it was more than enough to wrap his entire body.

Sitting on the roughly made bed, he felt warmth in his heart. For the first time after his parents died during the famine, there was someone who cared about his well-being.

As he slowly drifted to sleep, he vowed to repay his Master’s kindness and never betray her.

Meanwhile, the Village Chief gathered the villagers and informed them about Ling Shi’er’s identity. Even though lots of people had already guessed it, some of them still couldn’t believe Yao Zhi brought a barbarian back.

"Village Chief, I don’t agree with a barbarian staying in our village," an old man said with a frown.

Hearing this, an old woman added, "Village Chief, even if he is a slave bought by Yao Girl, he is still a man. For them to live together while her husband is away is not appropriate."

Soon after the old woman said this, a young woman sneered. "She is a promiscuous woman; she won’t care about her reputation. Maybe she bought that man back to help her pass the lonely night."

"I say, rather than letting her ruin the reputation of our village, it’s better to just chase her away. This way, we don’t have to worry whether that barbarian will stay or not."

The moment she said this, Yang Sanlang’s face darkened. But as an unrelated man, it was not good for him to defend Yao Zhi’s reputation.
