After a long day and night of running around, and having just experienced another confrontation with the boss, Sang Jin was already starving. She needed to quickly make something to eat, fill her stomach, and rest before continuing on her way.
It was a pity that the magical herb had no roots left, otherwise she could have taken it back to the secret realm and planted it. Maybe she could have grown more green sunflowers in the future.
Green sunflower has miraculous healing properties. It can accelerate wound healing and is considered a healing elixir. It can be used to refine elixirs that speed up wound healing without leaving scars.
"Hey, girl Sang, bring in a talking beast next time. You keep cutting me off, and I, an old man, am so bored." Mr. Li's soul body does not need to eat, he only needs to absorb some spiritual energy.
"It depends on fate. I'm going to get some sleep." After finishing her meal, Sang Jin went back to check on her vegetable and rice fields. She saw that the spiritual plants in the secret realm were growing well. It seemed that Old Li had been doing a good job of taking care of the secret realm for her.
"Go to sleep. You look tired after a whole day. I'll call you if there's anything." Old Li floated out of the bamboo house and began to meditate again.
Sang Jin slept until noon the next day, so not much time had passed in the outside world. She left the secret realm and continued exploring the Nanwei Mountains with Bai Ling.
One month after the reconstruction of Shengdan Village.
In November, it rarely snows in the south during winter.
At first, they did not follow Shengdan Village to cross the forbidden water lake, but took a detour to several villages in Munan Prefecture. They also arrived outside Munan City.
But along the way, they had lost nearly a third of their people. Munan City looked nice. After all, a place with mountains and water was a good place to live. They didn't want to go any further.
Anyway, it's all within the borders of Munan Prefecture. I heard that if you settle down in Munan City, you'll be given food.
"Village Chief Sang, we are here again." Sun Ya greeted Old Man Sang enthusiastically.
"It's Sun Yat-sen. Come in and sit down. I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Old Man Sang invited Sun Yat-sen into the yard.
"We won't go in. This time we are mainly here to send someone to you." Li Ya said with a smile, then stood aside. Only then did Father Sang notice the large group of people behind them.
Li Ya had expected to see the same dilapidated streets and miserable villagers as his last visit. Unexpectedly, only a month had passed. The place had been cleaned up and many houses had been renovated.
Families with slightly better conditions, like the Sang family, had newly painted plaques on their houses. They also had vast vegetable plots. He saw villagers busy at work. It seemed as if a large mansion was being built not far away.
"It's like this. County Magistrate Wu has arranged for more than half of the people to go to other villages. There are still 531 people left here. Other villages really can't be included. They don't want to rebuild the village themselves. So they are sent directly to your village. The government's subsidies will still be based on your village. When you are free, please take some time to go with us to the yamen to collect the things." Li Yadao understood the reason of the matter.
Shengdan Village was originally a large village that could accommodate 3,000 people. So adding another 500 or so people was no problem at all. Besides, what village chief wouldn't want to have more people under him?
"Hey, Old Zhou, it's us. Can you please help put in a good word for Village Chief Sang?" A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a dirty face in the crowd shouted to Zhou Dahe who came out to watch the fun.
Zhou Dahe actually knew this man. He was the village chief of Taohua Village. He was a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, the same level as his previous cultivation. He had a very easygoing personality. Why was he left out?
"Hey, old friend, you were sent to our village. Village chief, why don't we take them in? These are people from Taohua Village. This is Village Chief Su Miao." When Zhou Dahe saw his old acquaintance, he immediately introduced himself to Old Man Sang.
"Yes, yes, Village Chief Sang, please accept us. We have suffered a lot along the way. Qian Mazi is not a human being. In order to delay that third-level blind bear, he even used the lives of the villagers to buy time. Now my wife, grandson, and son are all gone, and I am left alone. If I hadn't thought about the villagers who hadn't been sent to the destination yet, I would have wanted to go down to accompany them..." Su Miao said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Okay, old buddy, stop saying discouraging words. Since God has let you survive, there will be good fortune in the future if you survive a disaster." Zhou Dahe comforted Su Miao.
"Stay here. Our village is newly built. Many houses are collapsed. But it is a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Zhou Dahe, you are familiar with the village chief, take them to find a place to rest first. It's cold standing outside in this weather. I will come to assign rooms to everyone later. Li Ya, Sun Ya, come into the mansion and sit down." Old Man Sang can now calmly arrange all the affairs of the village.
"Okay, Village Chief. I'll go right away." Zhou Dahe agreed readily.
"Then let's sit down?" Li Ya turned around and looked at Sun Ya.
"Why are you looking at me? Just sit down. It's still early and there's no need to worry about wasting a while." Sun Ya said as he followed Old Man Sang into the yard of the Sang family's old house.
"Village Chief Sang, you seem to be living a good life. This courtyard is so clean. Why don't I see your son and daughter-in-law?" Sun Ya was very observant.
"They live in the small house next door. They were divided up on the day they moved in. Sun Ya, Li Ya. Have lunch before leaving. I'll let my son take you there. He'll go to the city to buy two pigs." Old Man Sang politely tried to invite them to have lunch.
"Two pigs?" The Sang family is quite impressive. You can't buy piglets at this time of year. Only slaughtered pigs are left. Those cost several taels of silver.
"Well, it's almost the New Year. I want to buy two bigger pigs. The one at home is too small." said Old Man Sang.
When Mrs. Zhuang saw that it was Li Ya and Sun Ya who came to her house, she quickly asked Mrs. Zhao to pour two cups of hot tea. The tea was brought by her little granddaughter.
"That's great, Village Chief Sang. You can now order people around." Sun Ya looked at Mrs. Zhao and said enviously.
"Hehe... not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
"It's like this, Village Chief Sang, we should hurry back. We appreciate your kindness," Li Ya said. A trip to Shengdan Village takes two days and two nights, and if it wasn't something serious, he really didn't want to take on this mission.
"Well, since the two adults are in a hurry to go back, it's not appropriate for me, an old man, to stay for long. Old woman, please go next door and ask Sang Mu to help me send the two adults back. By the way, please buy the things that need to be bought this month as well." Old Man Sang said to Old Lady Zhuang beside him.
