The Roaring Heaven Clan

Is a thunderstorm coming?

Looking into the distance, Li Boyang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"How could there be such a big storm at this time of year?"

Walking ahead of Li Boyang, Li Jingshu also saw the dark clouds flashing with thunder in the distance.

The deafening roar could be clearly heard by the two people even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart.

A fierce wind swept across the land, lifting vegetation and livestock into the air...

After three years of training and intensive practice, Li Jingshu could even clearly see the livestock and Mountain Folk screaming in the strong wind.

"Little brother, should we speed things up a bit...?"

Faced with such divine might, even the usually audacious Li Jingshu turned pale.

At this moment, the two were on their way back to Li Household Village, and along the way, many wild beasts and spirits were also startled by the distant storm.

"This storm... it's almost as strong as a category 8 or 9 typhoon..."

Feeling that something was amiss with this storm, Li Boyang muttered to himself.

Since arriving in this world, Li Boyang had never seen such a violent hurricane.

Li Boyang was unsure whether the storm was naturally formed.

His greater concern now is whether the hurricane will affect the crop harvest in Li Household Village.

Thinking of this, Li Boyang took out the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron again and tossed it aside as usual.

As he predicted, if the storm continued to spread in this direction, it would indeed affect this year's harvest.

Even century-old trees cannot withstand the devastation of this storm, let alone the crops in the fields.

"Little brother?"

Upon seeing Li Boyang take out the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, Li Jingshu couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

Having spent so much time with Li Boyang, Li Jingshu knew better than anyone when he would use the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron.

"Come on, we have to get back to the village right now."

"At this rate of movement, it won't be long before it arrives here."

"The crops in the fields won't withstand the ravages of this storm; it could even leave us with no harvest this year."

He explained to Li Jingshu habitually; this was a habit Li Boyang had developed over a long period of time.

In this ignorant era, Li Jingshu was perhaps the only one who could understand Li Boyang's words and had no doubts about them.

"Ah?"

Just imagining that scene made Li Jingshu's expression change drastically.

Unlike Li Boyang, who was born just three years ago.

Li Jingshu, who is almost nine years old this year, has personally experienced famines several times.

The images of starving people everywhere and cannibalism left a deep psychological scar on Li Jingshu.

In the past three years, thanks to the carefully selected superior seeds by Li Boyang and the intentional or unintentional protection of Xiluo, Li Household Village has been able to live a slightly quieter life.

The thought of going hungry again next year filled Li Jingshu with hostility as she looked at the storm.

At Li Boyang and Li Jingshu's pace, a mere twenty li was not a particularly long distance.

In less than half an hour, the two arrived near Li Household Village.

Or more precisely, what the two first saw was the endless golden rice fields on the outskirts of Li Household Village.

The fields are different from those three years ago.

Those golden rice paddies are all newly cultivated fields, presenting an overall terraced structure.

It's not that the people of Li Household Village necessarily wanted to be novel or create a spectacle.

The problem is that this godforsaken place doesn't have much flat land available for cultivation, and then there's the limitation of water resources...

This top-down terraced field system naturally became the most suitable method of land reclamation for the current situation.

Thanks to Li Boyang's persistent pleading and cajoling with Xiluo over the past three years, he managed to borrow the right to use the Fang Boar from her, which barely allowed him to complete this massive project.

Alongside the reclamation of these terraced fields, composting and fermentation work was also carried out in Li Household Village.

After all, the superior varieties cultivated by Li Boyang require extremely high soil fertility, and ordinary mountainous areas simply cannot support those superior varieties.

Of course, Li Boyang did not deny that he had had enough of the filthy environment in the village.

That feeling of constantly stepping in poop or pee while walking down the street.

For Li Boyang, who came from a civilized 21st-century society, this was nothing short of torture.

Especially after he learned to walk, Li Boyang loathed it even more.

Even now, Chen Yun still uses this incident to mock Li Boyang, saying that she gave birth to a "divine person whose feet never touch the ground".

To be honest, if Li Household Village didn't have such a small population to begin with...

With the strong support of the old village chief and Li Yu, Li Boyang's composting and fermentation work might not have been able to proceed so smoothly.

Even so, looking at the uneven rice paddies, Li Boyang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Qiwa's family is slacking off again..."

They followed Li Boyang's gaze.

Li Jingshu also noticed the field that was noticeably more desolate than the others.

Despite using the same high-quality seeds and the same planting methods, Qiwa's family has had worse results than other villagers for two consecutive years.

This even caused gossip in the village, labeling Qiwa's family as "lazybones."

"No, Qiwa's family didn't slack off..."

"It's just that Qiwa's father hit his head, so he's always a step behind others in everything he does."

Li Boyang sighed deeply; of course, he knew what kind of situation Qiwa's family was in.

Father hit his head, Mother ran away with someone, and Qiwa is still too young...

So even with the help of the brothers Li Yu and Li Chengfeng, they could only barely survive.

After all, Li Yu and Li Chengfeng also have their own families to take care of, and it's impossible for them to spare too much free time to help them during the busy farming season.

"Young man, we've already helped him too much."

Seeing through what Li Boyang was thinking at a glance, Li Jingshu said in a rather mature tone in a low voice.

My younger brother is good in every way, except sometimes he has an inexplicably strong sense of responsibility.

In Li Jingshu's opinion, without Li Boyang's proactive help, Qiwa's family would never have been able to survive until now.

"Sigh, I just don't like watching other people starve to death in front of me!"

Within his own capabilities, Li Boyang doesn't mind helping others.

"Starving to death... that's the most painful way to die in the world."

A memory inadvertently flashed through my mind of my first meeting with Li Jingshu, and how she looked so thin and bony.

Li Boyang's tone was unusually firm, and his eyes seemed to hold a determination.

"Since so much has already changed, there's no reason to hesitate to take another step forward!"
