Chapter 1941: Build a Hot Spring Villa Chapter 1941: Build a Hot Spring Villa Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Yunduan couldn’t help but notice his wife’s contemplative gaze fixed on the hot spring water.

He knew what she was thinking, and he found himself entertaining similar thoughts.

Approaching Qiao Xuan with a smile, he suggested, “Dear, how about we establish a hot spring villa here?

It’s not far from Anze City, and we could spend a few days here.” Qiao Xuan’s smile mirrored his own.

“I was just about to suggest the same thing!

Building a hot spring villa here wouldn’t be too complicatedaEUR”just a wooden house would suffice.

Beyond this basin lies the ancient forest, teeming with resources.

Even without venturing out, we have lakes, rivers, and abundant prey right here.” Shao Yunduan nodded in agreement.

“Come spring, when the weather warms up, we’ll arrange for its construction.” Excitedly, Qiao Xuan added, “I’ll design the villa to incorporate the hot spring directly!” “Perfect!” Their eyes met, brimming with shared enthusiasm as they delved into planning.

With nightfall approaching, preparations for dinner and lodging commenced.

Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, and the others, well-versed in the routine, required no instruction from Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.

Wu Guan led two individuals to scout for a suitable campsite, while Ah-Ye, Mianmian, Qiaoqiao, and Liu Fu set about handling the prey.

Some ventured to gather firewood, while others prepared a space for a bonfire and barbecue.

Mianmian and the others set to work downstream of the hot spring, where the warm water made it convenient to remove fur and wash the prey without fear of freezing hands.

Today’s catch of wild pheasants, hares, wild ducks, and grouse was swiftly cleaned in the soothing warmth of the water.

Meanwhile, Ah-Ye attended to the deer he had hunted, slicing the meat into pieces and threading them onto tree skewers.

Once skewered, they sprinkled a mixture of seasonings over the meats, allowing them to marinate and enhance their flavor for the upcoming roast.

The abundance of trees on the hillside provided an ample supply of dead branches, easily gathered for firewood.

Returning with their finds, the group wasted no time in starting fires.

With nearly twenty people present, two fires were lit, ensuring everyone could partake in the cooking process.

As the flames crackled and danced, each person took charge of roasting their own skewered meat.

Mianmian and Qiaoqiao, aware of Qiao Xuan’s preference for chicken wings, thoughtfully skewered three pairs for her.

They also prepared marinated wild duck legs, wild chicken legs, and succulent skewers of deer suet.

Knowing Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan might not finish them all, they ensured there was plenty to share with the group.

Once the meat was roasted to perfection, Wu Guan and the others, who had ventured off to scout for a suitable campsite, returned.

Their faces were alight with smiles, their excitement palpable.

It was evident they had secured a favorable spot for the night.

“Thanks to Lord and Madam,” Wu Guan began, “we stumbled upon a cave atop a nearby hill.

Upon inspection, we found it spacious and dry.

Let’s make camp there and light a fire at the entrance for warmth.” His announcement elicited cheers of gratitude from the group.

“Indeed, thanks to Lord and Madam, we have a comfortable place to rest tonight.

No worries at all!” Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged amused glances.

They couldn’t help but find the situation amusing.

After all, they hadn’t been the ones to discover the cave.
