"Has no one lived there before?" Old Man Sang poured another glass of wine for Sun Ya.
The Sang family really knew how to enjoy themselves. They even had food, wine, and tables and chairs for meals while traveling. They even used straw to cover the ground for sleeping, with the entire village covering it with thick quilts.
The villagers are truly united. The strong help the weak, and the weak strive to improve themselves and become stronger, not holding the entire village back. They're truly unique.
After spending a day and a night together, they also learned that the most powerful person in Shengdan Village was actually a five-year-old girl. She created a legend all by herself and saved the entire village.
The key point was that the Sang family's daughter had a follower whose realm neither of them could tell. Anyway, that Mu Yanhuan was a character not to be trifled with.
"Yes, it has been lived in. How come no one has lived there? There should be some houses there that have been cleaned up and can be lived in. Before, a monster came down the mountain and slaughtered the village. The whole village of two to three thousand people was wiped out just like that. Because immortals and their disciples often visited there, the village was about the size of a small town. It used to be very lively."
"Later, a powerful formation master set up a formation there and drove all the monsters into the depths of the mountains and forests. The village was massacred, and those people died in such a tragic way. Anyway, no village was willing to move there." Sun Ya shook his head.
"So the county magistrate is also worried about this matter. I heard that there has been a severe drought in recent years, so the county magistrate quickly contacted his classmates, that is, the county magistrate on your side, and spread some news saying how good Mu Nan Mansion is. There are subsidies. It is just to attract you to live here." After Sun Ya finished speaking, he seemed to realize whether he had said something wrong.
"That's not what I meant. In fact, after that lord set up the formation, that area became very safe. But that formation has a drawback, which is that it doesn't work on mortals. So as long as you don't take the initiative to go deeper, you'll be safe." Sun Ya said hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's not your fault. We chose the land ourselves. We walked the road ourselves. I would also like to trouble you two adults not to tell the villagers about this. I will tell them not to go into the mountains." said Old Man Sang.
He didn't let the two yamen runners tell anyone about this matter in order to reassure people. Along the way, Clan Leader Zhou also taught him some tips on how to be a village chief.
"You are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense!" Old Man Sang suddenly said this to the Sang family in a serious tone.
"We understand."
Sun Ya and Li Ya knew they had said something they shouldn't have said while drinking, so they quickly lowered their heads to eat and stopped talking. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Finally, at noon on the third day, they arrived at the plot of land. As the county magistrate had said, the land was relatively flat and large. And just as Sun Ya and his men had said, there were also some wooden houses and blue brick and tile houses.
However, the original fields were now overgrown with weeds half a man's height, and some houses were severely damaged and uninhabitable. Some supplies were slightly damaged, forming a two-street street. Their current location was right at the entrance to the old street.
Sang Jin surveyed the area and discovered a dock. The villagers must have used the waterway to get out. The river was wide enough for five large ships to sail simultaneously. One could imagine how wide the Gulu River was.
This place has mountains and water, and the streets and fields are very flat. It's a good place.
Seeing that they had arrived safely, Old Man Sang took out two taels of silver from his pocket and then nudged Old Lady Zhuang's arm. Old Lady Zhuang immediately understood and took out the snacks that Sang Jin had given her before, which she had been reluctant to eat, and gave them to the two yamen runners.
"Li Ya, Sun Ya, this is a small gift from our village. Consider it your travel expenses back home. Thank you for telling us so much and protecting us all the way here." Old Man Sang said flatteringly.
There's a saying that goes, "It's easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils." Building good relationships with the little devils you'll encounter frequently can sometimes be more convenient.
"How can we accept this..." Li Ya pretended to refuse.
"What's there to not accept? It's just a little money for travel. We're new here, and we'll need Li Ya's help in many things in the future. The road is long, so I, an old man, won't keep you here for dinner. We'll have a couple of drinks again when we have the chance." Old Man Sang looked amiable.
"Okay, I'll come to your village for a drink next time." Li Ya took the change and snacks handed over by Old Man Sang. This Village Chief Sang is a very sensible person.
Suddenly, two third-level monsters blocked the two yamen runners' path. In an instant, they were killed by Li Jingyu with a single move.
Sun Ya and Li Ya were stunned. Were all the people in Shengdan Village so fierce? Sun Ya, who had been worried that they might have trouble staying here, immediately retracted his previous personal thoughts.
"This is a daily operation in the village, don't be afraid."
"Haha, Village Chief Sang, your village is really special." After saying that, the two yamen runners quickened their pace and walked back without looking back.
With their abilities, dealing with two third-level monsters wouldn't be a problem. But that would take time. Their village could wipe them out in an instant, so no matter how you looked at it, their village was the scarier one.
After seeing off Li Ya and Sun Ya, everyone started to walk around the two streets, and then waited for Father Sang and the two Zhou clan leaders to assign houses to everyone.
Sang Jin quickly asked Mu Yanhuan to count the houses that were still habitable, and then she drew a simple map of Shengdan Village based on the existing houses. This village would definitely be rebuilt in the future.
The important thing right now is to get everyone cleaned up first and settle everyone down.
I had just arrived in a new place, and although I counted over 180 houses still habitable, the damage wasn't that severe, so the rest was negligible.
"Zhou Xiaoma, go build an earthen wall around the two streets of the village." Sang Jin directed people to build the wall for the village. The old one was definitely unusable.
"Zhou Mei, use your fire to burn those weeds over there."
"And big brother, this matter is very important. This is a detoxification pill. Find the well in the village and put it in the well. Also remember to inform everyone not to use the water in the well to cook. It will take a few hours for the pill to take effect. Those who need water for cooking can come to the Sang family to fetch water." Sang Jin explained to Sang Yu seriously.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll make sure everyone is informed." Sang Yu took the detoxification pill given by Sang Jin and went to look for the well. He didn't even know where the well in the village was.
Sang Jin had a plan in mind. She gathered all the cultivators in the village and cleverly selected one cultivator from each household to help.
