My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 328 I don't even want to talk to you

"Get rid of these murderers." With a command from Xin Nian, a dozen Yanbei soldiers who followed Abida were shoved into the pit by two puppets.

Wu Lingya shuddered and pleaded again, "Goddess, please spare my fifth brother's life."

After all, he was her fifth brother, and now only the two of them, brother and sister, remained.

If she could, Wu Lingya would only want her good-for-nothing fifth brother to live out the rest of his life in peace.

Although, Fifth Brother is quite... never quiet.

Xin Nian glanced at her and said, "Don't be like Mr. Dongguo. You have good intentions towards him and want to let him go, but who knows if he hates you to the core and just wants to wait for the right opportunity to seek revenge on you."

"Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. Those who achieve great things cannot be soft-hearted."

Wu Lingya gritted her teeth and finally bowed, begging on behalf of her brother, "Please, Goddess, spare his life!"

Xin Nian nodded slightly. "You can decide this yourself. Do you have any agricultural experts here who can come back with me for a few days of training?"

Wu Lingya's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked her maid to find the agricultural official. She selected seven or eight people to go back with the goddess.

Xin Haoyang hesitated, looking at his younger sister.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xin Nian simply pretended not to see his conflicted expression, gave Wu Lingya a few more instructions, and then turned around and left with her people.

Wu Lingya hurriedly ran forward to see them off, following Xin Nian like a little tail all the way, chattering as she saw them off, "Goddess, may we go to the glacier lake to fetch water today?"

Xin Nian glanced at the gloomy sky and said, "Go if you want."

"Thank you, Goddess." A look of joy flashed across Wu Lingya's face. They had been searching for water sources in the vicinity, but to no avail.

Previously, every time they went to the glacier lake to fetch water, it was like a battle. Every time they had to fight with the underground city patrol team, which resulted in heavy losses and was very detrimental to the development of Yanbei.

"Goddess, please put the matter of setting up water collection points on the agenda as soon as possible." Wu Lingya, being both obsequious and cautious, escorted Xin Nian and the others a long way before waving goodbye and leaving.

Xin Haoyang kept glancing at Xin Nian with a strange expression the whole way. His lips were cracked so badly that blood kept seeping out when he opened his mouth.

Xin Nian thought he looked rather shabby, so she silently glanced at the chubby boy.

Xiao Jinzhi understood and took out several bamboo tubes of water from the crystal pearl, tossing them to the old Duke, Xin Wenhao, and Xin Haoyang.

The two slaves who carried the man also each received a bamboo tube of water.

The group was overjoyed. Xin Haoyang uncorked the bamboo stopper, took a sip of water, and immediately felt a cool sensation in his throat, which relieved the dryness considerably.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Sixth Miss. She led the people to find these supplies. She also sent people to guard the glacier lake, which is why the Yan people had no water to drink and had to dig for groundwater everywhere."

Unfortunately, the Yan people were unlucky; they dug several deep pits but couldn't find a single drop of groundwater.

If it weren't for Wu Lingya's quick thinking in clinging to a powerful figure, they would probably still be stuck in a water shortage crisis.

"Thank you, thank you, Sixth Sister." Xin Haoyang said awkwardly, and then, as if he couldn't help it, he said to Xin Nian, "I don't know why Sixth Sister... treats the Yan people so kindly."

“Treat them well?” Xin Nian glanced at the eldest brother of the main branch of the family. “You think I’ve been good to them?”

“Of course. The Yan people have enslaved us, my grandson and my grandmother, as well as other people from the Great Xia, for nearly half a year. I don’t understand why Sixth Sister let them go so easily.” “Oh, I don’t need others to understand what I do,” Xin Nian replied casually, as if she didn’t intend to explain anything.

Her indifferent attitude made Xin Haoyang's unease continue to grow.

Xin Haoyang couldn't help but clench his fist, his knuckles turning white. "Is Sixth Sister condoning our enemy?"

Xin Nian glanced at him, completely ignoring the furious Xin Haoyang, as if the conversation was meaningless to her.

Unable to contain his rising anger, Xin Haoyang took a sudden step forward.

Before his fingers could even grip Xin Nian's wrist, Xiao Jinzhi slapped him aside with lightning speed.

"What are you doing? Ha, Nian Nian saved you and now she's caused hatred??"

"Haoyang." Xin Wenhao hurriedly spoke up to stop him, quickly giving his eldest son a wink.

"Does His Highness also believe that we should treat our sworn enemies, the Yan people, with such gentle kindness? Giving them water and teaching them how to cultivate the land, so that they can develop and continue to be our enemies?"

"What do you know?" Xiao Jinzhi glanced indifferently at Xin Haoyang. "After the great disaster, the population decreased drastically. How can the land be revitalized and life continue if no one is around?"

"Everyone is important now; each person is like a seed of life. We shouldn't waste human resources."

"Killing someone is easy, but every one you kill is one less. If it's not an indiscriminate killing of innocent people, then let them go for now."

"Furthermore, don't always focus on your personal grudges; you need to take a longer-term view."

"Of course, if you have the ability, you can go back to settle personal scores at any time, and we will not stop you."

"Personal feud?? Your Highness believes that there is a personal feud between us?"

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at him, unable to bear his foolishness any longer, and earnestly advised, "Haoyang, there's no such thing as Great Xia or Yanbei anymore. You need to broaden your horizons! A lot has changed since the great disaster. Now there's only the newly established Icefield Base and the upcoming Glacier Base II."

"These two bases will develop together and complement each other. In the future, we will also build many more bases of all sizes to allow human civilization to continue to develop."

"The past will all be forgotten with time, but the future will be different, do you understand?"

Xin Haoyang didn't quite understand, but when he looked at his grandfather, he saw the old man smiling with an approving look, as if he understood.

Seeing this, Xin Wenhao quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Haoyang, don't talk nonsense, child. Although we've been tormented by the Yan people this time, looking back, our Great Xia army has also captured many Yan prisoners. It's just mutual torment; we have to accept that we're outmatched. Let's not bring this up again."

Xin Haoyang looked at his expressionless sixth sister: Is that what sixth sister means?
His sixth sister didn't even bother to look at him, as if he were some kind of idiot.

The group returned to the glacier camp before dawn. Xin Nian woke up her father, the group leader, to work, while she herself became a hands-off manager, pulling Xiao Pang along as they slipped back to the farm to rest.

After she woke up and spent some time cultivating on the farm, Tian Xiaorui and her brother had just finished preparing a sumptuous breakfast.

Xin Nian sat down next to her older brother and asked while eating, "How are they?"

"The old lady and the eldest son's family hugged and cried their hearts out. Now the grandfather and the eldest uncle have all gone to sleep."

Xin Nian said "Oh", "You can mention it to them later. Now that everyone is here, they can each live in their own rooms from now on."

"Let Sister Zhuqing bring her child to stay here."
