Thinking of this, the villagers were overjoyed, their gratitude for their kindred spirits welled up, and they respected and revered her even more.
After the village head finished speaking, he saw that everyone was exceptionally happy, their eyes filled with longing for a bright future.
He couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea, saying, "But I must warn you in advance that raising livestock or growing fruits and vegetables is not something that can be done overnight."
"During this period, you will encounter unpredictable unknowns, which may involve risks or even result in nothing! You must be prepared to face these risks."
"Yinyin's willingness to help you is already a great kindness. I hope that if you raise her to death or if the outcome is unforeseen due to natural disasters or other personal reasons, you will not blame her!"
"Don't worry, village head, we understand. We're not the kind of people who repay kindness with enmity."
The villagers quickly assured them that they knew what was important and what was not.
"Besides, even without Yinyin's notification, we were going to start planting rice anyway; now we've just added a few more livestock!"
"And of course we know that there will be all sorts of unforeseen problems with both planting and breeding."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, village head!"
Seeing that everyone's expressions seemed genuine, the village headman relaxed.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Anyway, I'll just give you a general idea. You can grow whatever vegetables you want, and raise whatever livestock you want. I won't interfere."
After all, there are many kinds of vegetables, fruit trees, and livestock, and not everyone can raise them all; one can only choose.
"Okay, we understand!"
"By the way, village head, can we tell people in other villages about this? I'd like my older brother and the others to plant crops or raise chickens and ducks too."
Suddenly, an aunt hesitated and began to ask questions. She was not from this village, but a woman from another village who had married into the village.
Upon hearing this, the other women who had married into the village from other villages also began to look at the village head with hopeful eyes.
The village head pondered for a moment, then, considering that Zhiyin was going to open various shops and would definitely need a lot of raw materials, he nodded and said, "That's certainly possible."
"Anyway, you can decide for yourselves, but we need to explain the pros and cons beforehand. Until you've actually succeeded in raising them, you can't rely entirely on this method..."
Upon hearing this, many villagers became happy and cheered continuously.
"Alright, that's settled! Whenever you're ready, we can start digging ditches and cultivating the fields together, and try out the 'rice+' farming method that Yinyin mentioned!"
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, village head!"
The villagers all agreed, but the grandparents looked embarrassed and at a loss.
Grandmother cautiously poked Grandfather's waist, "Do you think that brat might help us too?"
"well!"
Grandfather just kept a somber face and sighed heavily.
…
Early in the morning, Zhiyin heard a commotion coming from the courtyard outside.
I glanced at the sky; the sun had just risen in the east.
It should be around 5 or 6 a.m. in modern times.
She glanced at the bed where she was now alone, and curiously dressed herself. When she opened the door, all her drowsiness vanished, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Holy crap, that's real light-footed skill!"
The courtyard was bustling with activity. Ziyou swiftly flew up to the roof beam like a nimble bird and was now staring blankly at Zhihua.
Meanwhile, Old Master Huang, dressed in a flowing white ancient costume, was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
His eyes were gentle, but his steps were steady, and every punch he threw was full of power. He didn't look like an old man with gray hair at all.
The wind occasionally blew up his long robe, making him look like an otherworldly being.
Zhihua was gritting her teeth and sweating profusely while squatting in a horse stance under a tree. If you looked closely, you could see that she was not as calm as Old Huang at all, and her legs were trembling and shaking incessantly.
Even though she was exhausted, the moment she saw her confidante, Zhihua still grinned, took a deep breath, and gave her a trembling smile.
"Hahaha, my dear granddaughter Yinyin, would you like Grandpa to teach you boxing?"
Old Huang, with his sharp eyes, spotted his kindred spirit. He immediately stopped in his tracks, continued what he was doing, and looked at her kindly as he asked.
"Hehe~ Grandpa Huang, Huahua, Brother Ziyou, you guys are up so early."
"No need to teach me, I can do that too!"
Zhiyin also became interested. Recalling the Tai Chi and Baduanjin in his mind, he immediately stood with his legs apart and arms raised in front of him, ready to perform a piece on the spot.
"Oh? My dear granddaughter can practice boxing?"
Old Huang paused in his actions, instantly becoming curious.
"Hehe, of course."
After Zhiyin finished answering with a smile, her demeanor suddenly changed, and she became serious.
Starting position~
The wild horses parted their manes to the left and right.
…
Zhiyin is agile and nimble, her whole being in harmony with her mind and body, combining movement and stillness, making her look graceful and elegant, like a dancing elf.
He threw a set of punches without pausing at all; it was incredibly fluid and graceful.
Old Huang initially thought that the term "soulmate" was just a joke, but the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became.
So engrossed in the reading, he couldn't help but start fighting along with his friend.
The more you fight, the more you can feel the power of this boxing style, especially since you unconsciously activate your internal energy while fighting.
After completing a set of punches, I felt refreshed and as if I had become more than ten years younger.
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!!"
