Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Li Baili casually hits...
Li Baili hit the corpses inside casually and they fell down. It seemed that the corpses had no defense power.
These corpses couldn't even withstand Li Baili's attack, so Li Hanshuang didn't need to take action, so he took a step back and said to the people around him: "Now is the time, you can try your hand."
Lao Cao blinked his eyes and realized that this was indeed an excellent opportunity. They would not get hurt and could also train themselves. He took the lead, took a step forward, picked up a hoe and started chopping at the corpse that was crawling up.
There was a series of crackling sounds, and the corpse raised its head. Everyone thought that the corpse would fall apart next, but unexpectedly, the corpse stretched out its hand towards Lao Cao, trying to grab him.
Lao Cao opened his eyes wide and almost screamed, luckily he was not really caught, so at this moment it seemed as if the energy of his youth was aroused, he picked up the hoe and smashed it hard on the corpse's hand.
After a series of crackling sounds, cracks barely appeared on the corpse. The people around picked up their weapons and came over to help. Li Baili and Li Hanshuang stepped back.
It took some more time, and a body was finally dealt with. It fell to the ground with a bang and turned into powder at the bottom. Everyone looked bitter.
"It took us so long to kill just one body. What are we going to do next? There are still so many here!"
"The body has fallen down, how can we get it out? If we jump down to pick it up, won't it be dead? But if we don't want it, what's the difference between it and doing nothing?"
“I’m so tired, so tired, so tired!”
Everyone sighed.
Li Baili said: "You are not proficient now, but after a while, you will be familiar with your weapons and methods of attacking corpses. With cooperation, it will be easy to deal with a corpse."
Li Hanshuang nodded: "If you think it's hard to pick up the bodies that have fallen down, you can wait until there are fewer bodies here, and then use some other tools to fish them out, such as a net bag."
Everyone looked at each other and felt that it made sense, as if there was still a way to survive. They immediately gained motivation and a little smile appeared on their faces.
"That sounds like it's possible!"
"Then let's try a few more times!"
"I believe we will succeed! How can we die so easily? We have gone through so many things before, how can we die in the blink of an eye now? It's impossible! Hahaha!"
Full of confidence, they started the attack again. After a while, new corpses fell down and turned into powder. They felt that they could really get the corpse powder while ensuring their safety. They were very happy and became more powerful.
Li Baihe advised at the right time: "It's still too much effort to smash it, it's better to poke, sweep, pick, etc."
Everyone nodded repeatedly to show that they had heard it and started to make improvements.
After a while, it was almost dark, and Li Baili advised: "It's almost done! I'll set up a formation here to ensure that those things can't crawl out. You can come back tomorrow."
Lao Cao nodded. Although his hands were already a little blistered, he was very excited and his face was red. He was gritting his teeth a little because he had used too much force. He smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you!"
He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you have the right strength and method, it's just like playing a game. I didn't expect that I can still play it at my age. It's really interesting!"
The others started laughing and sharing their thoughts.
In general, they are very satisfied.
It looks like there's no problem.
Li Baili and Li Hanshuang sent them to the intersection, waved to them and said, "We are going home, you guys should go back too?"
Everyone nodded.
Then they went their separate ways.
The next day, Lao Cao had already made arrangements as to who would watch the land and who would go to remove the corpses and collect the debris. When people heard about what happened yesterday, they became very excited. However, Li Baili and Li Hanshuang did not plan to go with them.
They were surprised, a little scared, and a little lost. They hesitated and seemed reluctant to leave.
Lao Cao encouraged them, and they felt strong again, and the group walked away.
Lao Cao couldn't help but be curious, so he came over and asked, "Why aren't you going this time?"
"We just want to stroll around." Li Baili replied.
"Oh, that's true." Lao Cao nodded, remembering that they didn't live nearby and didn't know how long they had to travel every day to get here. He felt a little sorry, so he waved to his servants and asked them to follow Li Baili and Li Hanshuang, bring some food from home, and serve them well.
The servants nodded in agreement.
Lao Cao turned around and smiled, asking Li Baili and Li Hanshuang to bring their servants with them. Don't be polite, there's nothing fun to do right now, so just take the servants for a walk.
Li Baili and Li Hanshuang agreed.
Lao Cao was about to do his own thing, but Li Baili suddenly remembered and asked him, "Where is that kid from before?"
Lao Cao was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was asking. He replied, "Oh, that child. He was too young. I didn't bring him out. I was afraid he would get lost, so he's at home."
He looked around, his face a little red, and whispered, "Actually, it's not bad for him to work at that age. There's nothing to say, but he can't talk much and doesn't like to interact with others. If I really let him out, I'm worried that he might accidentally hurt others or be disliked by others. I plan to let him out after a while."
"I see," Li Baili nodded without changing her expression, "Thank you for your hard work."
"He actually wants to be with you," Lao Cao thought for a while, "and he hasn't been out for a while, why don't you take him with you? Anyway, there are so many servants, and you don't have to take care of him yourself, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. Who knows when he will see you again."
"In that case," Li Baili said noncommittally, "Okay then."
Lao Cao nodded, gave a few instructions to the servant, and the servant ran out and soon came back with the child.
Li Baili looked at him and asked, "Did you ask his name?"
"I asked him," Lao Cao blinked and whispered, "and he said he didn't know. There was nothing I could do."
"What's your name?" Li Baili asked the child.
"I don't know." The child shook his head.
"Then call me Little Li." Li Baili said casually.
"Okay." The child looked at him and said.
Then the child gestured: "You look different than yesterday."
Although his voice was still hoarse and dry, it sounded much better than when we first met, which showed that he was indeed learning.
Li Baihe put her hands in her pockets and said, "Yes, but it won't happen again in the future. It will probably always be like this in the future."
The child seemed to understand and nodded.
Li Baili had no intention of explaining. As they walked, she pulled Li Hanshuang aside and they walked along the street for a while.
Not far away, there was a sudden loud bang.
Li Baili walked over and found that a house had collapsed. Everyone in the house was outside. Fortunately, nothing happened, but the things inside were inevitably damaged.
Fortunately, their family was not poor, so they did not lose any valuables. The most expensive thing was the house, which would take some time to rebuild, but they could still barely make ends meet.
Li Baili looked around the house and asked in confusion, "Didn't they say they had already checked it? They said they were going to repair it? Has the repair been completed or not?"
The servant wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "We don't know about this either. This is not what we do."
Li Baili waved her hand: "I'll go find Lao Cao."
After finding Lao Cao and telling him what happened, Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, a little confused and a little surprised: "Is there such a thing? I'll go and take a look!"
As he said this, he went to the place, looked at the ruined house, reached out and touched it, and the wood of the house broke like tofu dregs. He immediately gasped, his eyes widened, and he was horrified: "Is it this bad?!"
"You don't know?" Li Baili raised her eyebrows, just looked at him and asked.
Lao Cao came back to his senses all of a sudden: "This, maybe there are some inconsiderate parts, I remember it was repaired."
Li Baili frowned: "Could it be that they used the soil that couldn't grow seeds before and these woods to repair it?"
Lao Cao shuddered suddenly: "Oh no! It was really used! If that kind of soil can't be used to build houses, I'm afraid all the houses here will have to be built from scratch!"
"I don't know if you have enough manpower." Li Baili seemed to be thinking about something.
"We are really short of manpower, but it's not a big deal," Lao Cao said hesitantly, "Is there any way to solve the problem?"
Li Baili thought about it, made a bunch of puppets and threw them to him, demonstrated how to use them and said, "It's no problem to do some ordinary work, but don't count on it to do anything that requires your brain."
"Great! That's wonderful!" Lao Cao held the puppets and said happily, "That's enough!"
Li Baili nodded: "That's good."
"We shouldn't be needed to help with this, right?" Li Hanshuang asked from the side.
"We can!" Lao Cao waved his hand: "Just do whatever you want. We are not in a hurry here. We can handle it!"
Li Hanshuang nodded, a smile appeared on his calm face, like ripples on a pool of clean water, and said to Li Baihe: "We can play now!"
"Let's go." Li Baili smiled and nodded.
The child held him back, looked at him eagerly and asked, "I can't go, right?"
"Yes." Li Baili nodded without changing her expression.
"Will you come again next time?" the child asked again.
"Yes." Li Baili pulled the child's hand away, patted him and said.
"Okay," the child said reluctantly, "I'll wait for you to come over and play."
"Then goodbye!" Li Baili waved her hand, in a good mood. When she thought about being able to play with Li Hanshuang for a long time and play whatever they wanted, she smiled and said, it won't be long before everything will be the same as before.
The child nodded.
After that, Li Baili and Li Hanshuang walked away.
They walked back and forth in the open fields, and the sunlight fell on them like a layer of golden robes.
