In addition to building the houses, Lin Xiang also completed the roads, dams and ponds, and left the rest to the refugees to gradually improve.
I'm not a babysitter. If I do everything for them, I'll be treating them like parasites.
Lin Xiang still hopes that these humans can be self-reliant and strong, and have the ambition to conquer nature.
He arranged the Gengjin Formation in the Five Elements Formation here, and left his own statue. Finally, he erected a huge plaque at the entrance of the village with the words "Nanshan Village" written on it.
“He really did it!”
“So many houses, and they’ve all been repaired…”
"The God of Land has appeared, and we finally have a home!"
"Long live the God of Land!"
"Thank you, God of Land, for your great mercy."
"If we had come earlier, maybe Xiaowu wouldn't have died."
"Second brother and the others are still guarding outside the county city. Is there any way to notify them and ask them to come over quickly?"
“There are so many houses here, but it feels like there are even more refugees, so there aren’t enough to accommodate them.”
"Oh my god, I didn't play the game all afternoon, and the planning model I made was actually selected? It was directly built into a small village! I have to take a picture and send it to my mentor. I finally got something out of this."
The villagers and players were slightly better off, after all, it had no direct bearing on their interests. They were just surprised at the power of Lin Xiang, the sacrificial spirit.
Who would have thought that an ordinary village offering sacrifices to a spirit would turn out to be a hidden and powerful being in the world of cultivation?
The refugees were all a little anxious. They all wanted to move into the new houses before the sun set. Even if there was nothing inside, it was better than living in tents.
Fortunately, at this time, Tan Mengru and Ji Yuan had already handed over the families they had counted, and decided where to live by drawing lots.
Families with different numbers of people are grouped together. If you are single, you can only share different rooms in a house with others.
This will prevent someone from asking in the future why they can't live in a house with a good location and good orientation, or why others can live in a better house.
It all depends on luck!
"Young man, can you help me see what number is written on this sign?" A toothless old man who looked skinny and bony came to Han Mu with a wooden sign in his hand.
He was completely illiterate and had no idea what was written on it, nor did he know where the house was.
Han Mu took the wooden sign, looked at it, and said, "Jia Zi Wu, your house is over here, sir. I'll take you there."
The layout of the newly built village is definitely more reasonable than the original village built spontaneously by the villagers.
In the design plan submitted by the player, Nanshan Village is divided into ten heavenly stems such as Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding in a horizontal row, and twelve earthly branches such as Zi, Chou, Mao, and Yin in a vertical row.
There are 10 horizontal alleys and 12 vertical alleys. The houses are well-organized, making it easy to find a location and pass through.
The old man was very excited. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, kind-hearted young man."
Han Mu actually did not receive any task from the old man. He just helped out casually, mainly because he was thinking of his illiterate grandparents, who were also such simple farmers.
The old man's clothes had several holes in them. The larger holes were patched up, while the smaller holes were left alone.
He looks to be in his seventies or eighties, but he is actually only fifty-five and his body is already frail.
There were four people in their family, the old couple and their son and daughter-in-law, each carrying various things in a backpack or a shoulder pole.
Everyone’s face is filled with curiosity and longing for an unknown new life!
"My God, this is even better built than the house of Mr. Zhang in our village. It has red brick walls and three rooms and a kitchen."
"Master, look, this room is so big! It can accommodate a bed and several cabinets."
"Dad, this yard is big enough. Let's grow some vegetables and raise some chickens to lay eggs. We will definitely be able to live a prosperous life."
"I heard from the older women in Dongshan Village that the God of Land might divide up some land among us, with each of us getting a few plots. With the God of Land's blessing, the crops will grow much faster than before, and the harvest will be much greater!"
"Is this true?"
“Can we really have land?”
For farmers, land is indeed the most important thing. They spend their entire lives facing the loess and working hard, digging in the soil for food and feeding generation after generation.
In Nanshan Village, they not only got housing, but also land. This is something that can only happen in dreams!
The whole family cried and laughed, and Han Mu almost cried too.
"Young man, I'm sorry to make you laugh. We couldn't help ourselves. We didn't expect to get so many good things here."
The old man wiped his tears with the back of his hand, then carefully took out a clay pot from his burden and handed it to Han Mu carefully: "We don't have anything good at home right now. This is the wild honey my son found in the wild. Please accept it, young man."
Han Mu didn't dare to accept anything from the farmer. He waved his hands and said, "I didn't do anything. I just showed you the way. Uncle, you should keep the honey for yourself or exchange it for money. I'm a cultivator and I don't eat ordinary food anymore."
After saying that, he summoned the flying sword from the game package and showed it off in front of a few people.
People have worked hard to bring these things with them when they were fleeing, how can I have the nerve to take them?
"Master, if you want to cultivate land or make furniture in the future, you can ask us cultivators for help. They will be happy to help."
Just now, when Han Mu was leading the way here, he saw scattered players coming out of the spirit worship site in Nanshan Village.
A brand new novice village was born!
The game "Ascension" is becoming more and more popular in reality, and new players are constantly joining the game.
These players are very lucky, while others have to work hard just to reach the Universe Market.
As a result, they were born directly in the market town, saving a lot of time.
A newly built village like this one is in a state of disrepair and has too many tasks to do.
For example, Han Mu had just walked out of the old man's house when he received a letter delivery task, helping to deliver the letter to relatives outside the county town, asking them to hurry to Nanshan Village.
There are only half of the vacant houses left, and if more people come, they will be filled up quickly.
The land temple in Huanyufang City has issued construction tasks to the players. According to the design drawings, there is a village every ten miles or so, and they are spread out like stars in the southern part of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
…
"This is the corn we just harvested. You can eat it."
"There's nothing else at home, but the sweet potato vines and beans are ripe. You guys can fill your stomachs first."
"This is a young man who helped me get rid of the wild boars in the farmland. The pig legs will be enough for you to eat for two days."
"Take the eggs. They should hatch soon. Raise them and they'll continue laying eggs."
"Brother and sister, even though it's hot in July, it's still very cool at night. This quilt has hardly been used, so you can just make do with it."
"Take the chopped firewood. It's late now, and it's too late to go to the mountain to chop firewood."
The villagers of Dongshan Village and Xishan Village generously donated the extra food and bedding in their homes to the refugees.
They now have enough food and clothing, and have even been exempted from taxes and labor service by the Dagan.
This is what it means to lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade.
If it weren't for the existence of Lin Xiang's land, Da Gan would never let them go.
It is because everyone has experienced the situation of not having enough food to eat and knows that refugees have a big problem with food that they will do their best to help.
"Thank you."
"How can I be so embarrassed? I will definitely repay you when I settle down in the future."
"They are all good people! Thank you, brother and sister-in-law!"
The common people are so simple and kind, helping each other in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters.
For the refugees who have just arrived in Nanshan Village, food is indeed the key, and housing alone is not enough.
The land has not been cultivated yet. Even if it has been cultivated, growing crops requires seeds and enough time. It is impossible to have food immediately.
The help provided by the villagers was only a small part, and most of it was actually relief food distributed by the land temple.
In order to prevent the refugees from being lazy and gluttonous, Ji Yuan, an old man who has lived in the countryside all his life, set a fixed amount for each household.
You can only maintain basic survival, and if you want to eat enough, you have to work hard.
By cultivating the land for your own family and working hard, you can actually get food.
The same applies to going out to cut wood and make furniture.
Lin Xiang just didn't want to support idlers and parasites, so he decided to let the person who had everything handed to him go as soon as possible.
As long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death and will create a happy tomorrow with your own hands.
Lin Xiang left after harvesting a lot of incense and divine power. There was a sacrificial statue here anyway, and the Five Elements Gengjin Formation would also prevent nearby monsters from attacking.
He came to the fields outside Dongshan Village.
In fact, the conditions in Dongshan Village are much worse than those in Nanshan Village. There are no large flat fields here, and even the spiritual fields are terraced one level at a time.
The magical rice in the terraced fields has been bent by the heavy weight of the millet, and its golden color is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Although Lin Xiang did not personally participate in sowing, fertilizing, and watering, he also felt a sense of joy in the harvest.
"We can harvest it tomorrow, and it looks like the yield will be very high."
The temperature in the southern region is high, and there are always players practicing the Small Cloud and Rain Technique. In addition, the spiritual energy is becoming more and more abundant, and there is also the bonus of the land god's priesthood.
If this cannot be harvested, then the rest of the spiritual rice may simply fail.
Over there, Bingxue Piaopiao was also making final preparations on her one-acre spiritual farm. When she saw Lin Xiang, she took the initiative to step forward and greet him: "Greetings, Master Jiling."
"Your spiritual farm looks well-tended," Lin Xiang praised. "It should fetch a good price when the time comes."
"Thank you, sir." Bingxue Piaopiao's face was filled with joy. She then asked, "Sir, I would like to contract a small piece of land to grow spiritual rice, spiritual herbs, and spiritual trees. I wonder if you have a suitable hilltop here?"
A mere one acre of spiritual field really couldn't meet her needs.
She hoped to have a spacious manor rather than a small courtyard of several hundred square meters.
Lin Xiang pointed across the Longxi River and said, "You can choose a small hill over there, but the rent is quite expensive."
"Going to the Shiwanda Mountains?"
Bingxuepiaopiao certainly knew what area was over there. It was a monster area. If she went to farm in the Ten Thousand Mountains, she would probably be attacked by monsters every day.
"Is that also your territory, Lord Jiling?"
"Part of it is." Lin Xiang was reluctant to elaborate. "Since I've accepted the money, I will ensure the safety of that forest. The only requirement is that it not be damaged too much and can only be used for planting, nothing else."
As for the Shiwandashan Mountains, Lin Xiang hopes to preserve its forest landscape as much as possible, rather than watching it become bare.
The south is the development area used by Lin Xiang for ordinary people, and the north is reserved for players. This way of distinguishing between immortals and mortals is actually the best way.
"Can I get the protection of the Lord of Sacrificial Spirits even on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains?" Bingxuepiaopiao was very happy. She knew that her strength was actually quite average. Without the help of the Lord of Sacrificial Spirits in front of her, she would not be able to gain a foothold in the monster area.
As they were talking, suddenly one by one the players who were exploring outside were sent back to the land temple!
Under normal circumstances, players wouldn't die so many times so quickly.
Now they are collectively occupying the land temple, as if they were wiped out.
A strong demonic aura came from the northern part of the Shiwandashan Mountains, covering the entire sky.
Lin Xiang immediately rose up and flew above the spiritual field, then sent his spiritual sense in all directions: "A powerful demon is attacking, young heroes, be careful!"
