God of the Hundred-Land Ya River (2/3)
That night, when Li Boyang returned home, looking exhausted.
Chen Yun kept his food warm, as if it had just come out of the pot.
"Oh, so the Big Girl's here to freeload too!"
After gesturing for Li Boyang to sit down, Chen Yun glanced teasingly at Li Jingshu, who was standing suspiciously by the door.
"Hey-hey·--"
After chuckling awkwardly, Li Jingshu, knowing she was in the wrong, didn't dare to speak directly.
Instead, he pretended to tease the few Huodou while cautiously glancing at Li Boyang out of the corner of his eye.
"Alright, stop putting on that pitiful act—"
Without Li Boyang even needing to speak, Chen Yun grabbed him and laughed.
"When have you ever seen your little brother truly angry with you?"
"Besides, you saved someone this time, come and have dinner with us!"
Forcibly pressing Li Jingshu to sit opposite Li Boyang, Chen Yun's words finally made him break down and start complaining.
"Mother, she's really gotten Qiwa into trouble this time!"
"I clearly taught her how to use Silk Fur Robe coat, but she still forgot!"
"And if I hadn't come back in time, she probably would have continued to keep it a secret for that Qiwa— "
Before Li Boyang could finish speaking, Chen Yun immediately glared at him.
I said, "Okay!"
"Eat now, right now, immediately! Nothing is more important than eating!"
"You two have been starving all day, so you'd better behave and listen to me when you get home!"
After exchanging a helpless glance, Li Boyang and Li Jingshu ultimately chose to obey.
As Chen Yun said, in this family, and at mealtimes, she is now the boss.
Even if Li Yu, the head of the family, were to return, he would still have to listen to Chen Yun.
"Mother, I brought back some more spiders this time."
Only after confirming that Chen Yun's anger had subsided did Li Boyang, who was eating, dare to cautiously open his palm, letting a few small spiders crawl out from his sleeve.
"A new spider?"
Looking at the little spiders with a surprised expression, Chen Yun couldn't help but complain.
"So you still remember them!"
"The spiders in the village have all become much thinner because of their continuous spinning of silk lately, and it breaks my heart to see them like this."
Smiling as he listened to Chen Yun's complaints, Li Boyang finally felt a long-lost sense of relief, freeing himself from all his hopes and burdens.
"So you see, I brought these new spiders, didn't I?"
"These spiders are a new species, different from the previous ones that could only spin silk by eating meat."
"You don't need to prepare any meat to feed them; just grind plants into fiber and feed them that."
Hearing Li Boyang say this, Chen Yun's surprise deepened.
A spider that doesn't eat meat? That sounds quite rare.
"And what about the silk they produce? What's the quality like? Is it good enough to sew waterproof bags?"
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang, who was already prepared, casually took out a ball of silk thread and handed it to Chen Yun.
"While the quality isn't as good as those carnivorous spiders, it's more than enough for sewing cloth bags."
"Most importantly, these spiders spin far more silk than carnivorous spiders, enough to power all the looms in the village."
On the front lines of the flood, near that familiar dike.
With half of Yan Xiaojun's body submerged in the floodwaters, he unusually took the initiative to help the Mountain Folk build the foundation.
As Yan Xiaojun exerted his strength, the thick wooden stakes were forcefully driven into the turbulent riverbed.
Next, the Mountain Folk, who had been prepared, filled the sandbags, bricks, and soil into the mixture, and finally poured on top the freshly mixed wood ash and cement.
Although the foundation laid in this way is not as good as real concrete, it is still much stronger than the original dam.
During this process, Li Yu used the "Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land" to continuously locate the movement of nearby water veins and Mountain Terrain, saving Yan Xiaojun a lot of effort.
The reason why Yan Xiaojun took such initiative is actually quite simple.
That is, for every section of the dam construction completed, Li Yu would give the other party a Qi and Blood Pill.
Given this incentive, it would be abnormal for Yan Xiaojun not to take initiative.
He often complained that if the Qiwa had done it earlier, he wouldn't have had to slack off for so long.
It was during this process that Li Yu clearly saw the Qi and Blood within Yan Xiaojun's body transform into tangible flames, baking the area within three feet of her body into an intensely hot environment.
Thus, Li Yu truly felt the extraordinary nature of this Qi and Blood Pill for the first time.
It wasn't until late at night, when the Mountain Folk could no longer see anything, that they stopped building the dike and only arranged for a small number of people to keep watch.
Actually Li Yu originally intended to keep watch.
However, under repeated insistence from the crowd, he had no choice but to return to the village to rest.
"Humans—they really are a difficult creature to understand."
He stared at the Mountain Folk on night watch with a complicated expression.
Yan Xiaojun felt as if she had traveled back a thousand years.
However, compared to the Witch of the Huai River from a thousand years ago, this Mountain Folk Prophet's methods and wisdom are clearly more outstanding.
Yan Xiaojun didn't understand the saying "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
However, it is clear that Li Boyang did a better job than the Witch of the Huai River, and his methods were more sophisticated.
Besides the Qi and Blood Pill I just took.
Li Boyang didn't actually display many extraordinary methods, but he successfully aroused the village's will to survive and their initiative.
The sheer power of unity and concerted effort is truly awe-inspiring.
This is far more impressive than the Witch of the Huai River who single-handedly forged her way forward a thousand years ago.
"If we're talking about how hard humans are to understand, you're actually not much easier to understand than them."
Without a sound, an inconspicuous water snake suddenly coiled around Yan Xiaojun's body along the current.
"Lord of the Ya Waters? You still dare to show your face here?"
Slightly surprised, Yan Xiaojun looked down at the water snake on her body and asked.
"That Mountain Folk Prophet is different from the Witch of the Huai River— "
"You have too much blood on your hands from the Mountain Folk; he will never let you go."
Lord of the Ya Waters was once the god of the Hundred-Land Ya River, and also a typical Savage Wilderness water god.
Not long after escaping Ghost God Cliff, Lord of the Ya Waters used torrential rain and floods to submerge several Mountain Folk villages.
If it weren't for the timely rescue from Li Household Village, those villages would have been completely wiped out.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"That Mountain Folk Prophet too domineering and too biased towards humans; he doesn't give us gods any way to survive at all."
"Look at you! Hao Lie was once the renowned God of Yanxiao, but now you're trained like a domestic dog, and you've completely lost your former glory."
Yan Xiaojun frowned involuntarily, and her voice suddenly turned somber.
"Are you here to deliberately provoke me?"
