A Born Sage (3/3)
Although the Single Horn Si has already declared its submission.
Just in case, Li Boyang still threaded a section of the God-Binding Cord through the bull's nose.
Of course, it's different from the God-Binding Cord around Yan Xiaojun's neck.
The God-Binding Cord of the Little Single Horn did not restrict his abilities and Divine Ability.
On the contrary, with Li Boyang's approval, the Single Horn can even exert some of the Divine Power of the God-Binding Cord.
So when Li Boyang rode his unique Single Horn water buffalo back to Li Household Village, the children who noticed him first exclaimed in surprise.
Some of the bolder boys and girls even tried to reach out and touch the One-Horned Incantation.
Fortunately, Ji Baiyang stopped them in time.
He wasn't sure if the newly subjugated One-Horned Incantation would fly into a rage.
However, when Li Boyang looked at the One-Horned Incantation again, he realized that his concerns might have been unnecessary.
Because the One-Horned Incantation completely ignored the offenses of those wild boys and girls.
Instead, he appeared lazy and listless, as if he were just an ordinary water buffalo.
[Turns out he's just a heartless idiot?]
A thought flashed through my mind.
Li Boyang suddenly became curious: where exactly did Chi get this One-Horned Incantation from?
Li Boyang is now almost certain that Chi must have embellished the story and said a lot of irrelevant things while tricking him into bringing the One-Horned Incantation to him.
Unfortunately, Li Boyang's pleasant mood did not last long.
Its extinguishing power was extinguished by the barren rice paddies before its eyes.
As Xiluo previously mentioned, this time of year is usually when spring is almost here.
But even now, the area around Li Household Village remains shrouded in continuous rain and sunshine.
The soil that is constantly soaked in water is simply not suitable for growing any crops.
If Li Household Village is in such a state, one can only imagine the situation in other Mountain Folk villages in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Based on the accumulation of Li Household Village in the previous few years.
If we're frugal this year, we might be able to survive, but it won't be an easy life.
Furthermore, it is said that true character is revealed in times of famine and disaster.
Even Li Boyang wasn't sure what crazy things those starving Mountain Folk might do in extreme circumstances.
The only saving grace is that, under Li Boyang's arrangement, most of the nearby villages, including Li Household Village, are already working hard to build drainage ditches.
Meanwhile, in order to better stabilize the soil, the planting of willow trees and lotus roots has also been scheduled.
Although distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
However, if Law Technique power is used to accelerate growth, it is highly likely that the flooding and soil erosion can be alleviated to some extent.
Thinking of this, Li Boyang suddenly looked down at the One-Horned Incantation beneath him.
With such a free laborer offering himself up, many of Li Boyang's original plans became possible to be implemented.
"Non-Crying Child, you're finally back!"
Riding the One-Horned Incantation all the way to the village entrance, the old village chief finally called out to Li Boyang, who was somewhat distracted.
"That shaman from Gao Village Town has sent someone to ask us for help, wanting to know what we should do next?"
"According to the usual schedule, planting time is just a few days away."
"Do you think we should make some preparations in advance?"
"If this flooding continues, could we plant some crops with shorter growth cycles?"
"Or we could try a different type of taro. Although taro reserves and yields aren't large, every harvest is a harvest."
The old village chief's worries were also the concerns of all the villagers in the nearby Mountain Folk.
"It hasn't reached that point yet. Our area is mostly terraced fields, and we've been continuously building irrigation canals for drainage."
"So even in the worst-case scenario, it's still possible to grow a season of rice."
"Besides, the Grandmother Mountain God has already begun working to resolve this flood, so you don't need to worry about it affecting us here."
Unbeknownst to many, Li Boyang seems to have become Sea-Calming Divine Needle for the Mountain Folk of Li Household Village and even the surrounding villages.
Even the old village chief, with whom he had a very close relationship, gradually began to prioritize listening to Li Boyang's advice.
"That's good, it's good that you have arrangements."
Whether out of helplessness or relief, the old village chief let out a long sigh of relief.
"The pill you gave me last time worked pretty well--"
"Recently, my backache and leg pain have stopped, and I've even been sleeping much more soundly at night."
"It's just that the breathing technique you taught me is too advanced for my age; I simply can't learn it."
He started chatting away with Li Boyang, as was his habit.
The old village chief described to him in great detail what had happened in the village that day.
"It's very dangerous outside lately, so I've told everyone in the village to keep a close eye on their children."
"But kids of this age are really hard to manage, and everyone's attention is focused on spring planting, so it's really difficult to spare any extra energy to take care of them."
So I was wondering if your early childhood education plan could be brought forward a little earlier?
"Don't let these wild girls and boys run around anymore. I'm afraid they might accidentally get into trouble with those wild gods one day..."
The spirit has been kidnapped.
The old village chief's words were not unfounded.
Since Li Boyang was born, the quality of children in Li Household Village has improved almost linearly.
Not only were there no infants who died young, but their physical fitness and intelligence also far surpassed those of other children in the Mountain Folk at the same time.
It's no exaggeration to say that "candidate priests," like those in the Guifang Kingdom who require careful selection to be chosen, are almost everywhere in Li Household Village.
If Li Jingshu hadn't subdued all the spirits in this mountain forest beforehand...
It's perfectly normal for one or two spirits to try and abduct the children of Li Household Village.
Especially in these chaotic times.
The old village chief knew better than anyone just how serious the potential crisis that Li Household Village was about to face really was.
"It's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that too much has happened lately."
With a slight sigh, Li Boyang jumped off the Little Single Horn's back.
"Besides me, only that Big Girl Li Jingshu in the village can both manage the children and provide them with their early education."
"But under these circumstances, both Li Jingshu and I have more important things to do."
Today, Li Boyang finally understands what it means to be overwhelmed with work.
"Speaking of which, has Li Jingshu returned?"
Standing at the door of Qiwa's house, Li Boyang deliberately changed the subject, knowing full well the answer.
Seeing this, the old village chief could only roll his eyes, fully aware of Li Boyang's little scheme.
"You little brat, you even tried to scheme against the old man!"
"Qiwa's injuries this time are quite serious. His mentally challenged father is crying his eyes out. You should take a good look at him!"
"That kid is a fool too. You gave him so many healing pills, but he didn't eat a single one and gave them away to others."
"I think you shouldn't let him go out alone next time; he's too easily fooled."
Despite his complaints, the old village chief no longer showed the slightest sign of worry.
Now, whether Li Boyang is willing to admit it or not.
In the eyes of those in Li Household Village and even the surrounding villages, his identity was no longer simply that of "the Son of the Mountain God."
A Non-Crying Child is a born saint.
Without much communication or emphasis, this has already become the consensus among most people regarding Li Boyang.
