"If only the ' Son of the Mountain God ' could be born in our village---"

Silently watching what was happening not far away, the middle-aged man finally understood the difference between Li Household Village and the other villages outside.

The people living here certainly don't need to fear those mountain spirits and monsters.

In contrast, middle-aged people feel that what they should really be afraid of are the mountain spirits and monsters.

With so many young and strong men, each one of them had the potential to become a hunter.

Add to that the equally agile children, and anyone could see the village's future potential.

How did the Son of the Mountain God manage to do all this?

In the minds of middle-aged people, even in the relatively affluent Gao Village Town Gaocun, it would be impossible for children to have such strong bodies.

These body types can only be achieved by consuming meat and fats year-round.

The question is, in an era when even basic food and clothing were a problem, how was Li Household Village able to accomplish such a thing?

"It's about domesticating livestock, like domesticating cattle and horses."

"However, the animals raised in Li Household Village are not large wild beasts, but small animals such as pheasants and other birds."

This era did have the custom of domesticating poultry, otherwise there would be no cattle or horses.

The key issue is that very few villages have mastered the technology of domesticating poultry, and they generally do not disclose their breeding techniques to the outside world.

In the Guifang Kingdom, raising roosters that crow at dawn was one of the duties exclusively assigned to priests.

Under these circumstances, without the help of the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, Li Boyang would not have been able to find poultry that could be domesticated as livestock in just a few years.

As for artificial insemination, artificial reproduction, and the most basic pest and disease prevention techniques?

Leaving aside the specific implementation, simply proposing this concept already puts it ahead of its time.

"Can fish be farmed at the ' Mountain God Reservoir '?"

The world is never short of clever people, and the middle-aged man immediately thought of another use for the reservoir.

"Hmm, I heard that the Son of the Mountain God is already selecting suitable fish fry, but the specific progress is a secret of this village."

She did not deny the middle-aged man's speculation, and Xiao'e was equally envious of it.

If Li Jingshu hadn't mentioned it by chance, Li Boyang's ultimate plan was to make this "Mountain God Reservoir" benefit all the villages, big and small, in the vicinity.

Xiao'e couldn't even guarantee that she wouldn't develop any other thoughts.

In fact, this is why Xiao'e was willing to give such a detailed introduction to the "Mountain God Reservoir" to the middle-aged man.

Only by informing the nearby villages in advance about the function of the "Mountain God Reservoir" can this be achieved.

Only when the "Mountain God Reservoir" decides to expand in the future will it be able to gain everyone's support.

As a "shaman" personally chosen by the Nüman, Xiao'e may not have enough abilities at this stage, but her vision and wisdom are far-sighted enough.

Just as the middle-aged man was talking to Xiao'e.

Li Jingshu, who had just finished disciplining the boy not far away, also noticed the arrival of these two outsiders.

"Huh? Xiao'e?"

With a hint of surprise, Li Jingshu immediately ran to Xiao'e.

The next second, to the middle-aged man's astonishment, Li Jingshu actually grabbed Xiao'e's cheek and laughed.

"What brings you here today? Did you miss me?"

Xiao'e, who always behaved solemnly and properly in front of the middle-aged man, rolled her eyes, a rare occurrence for her, as if it were both a sign of helplessness and a sign of being used to it.

"Hmm---"

"Ming-·-.-·.- is..-.-.-

He vaguely tried to shake off Li Jingshu.

Xiao'e knew things would end up this way, which is why she hated coming to Li Household Village alone.

Without Li Boyang watching over her, Li Jingshu was like a mad dog that had broken free of its reins.

Of course, this "mad dog" doesn't mean that Li Jingshu likes to bite people.

Rather, it means she's incredibly audacious and a show-off.

When the mood strikes, they're willing to do anything, without any regard for the consequences.

"Don't act so mature for your age!"

My younger brother said that you'll age faster if you keep smiling like this, and you should smile more!

Although she wasn't much older than Xiao'e, Li Jingshu's tone sounded much older than her.

It was obvious that Li Jingshu was deliberately imitating Li Boyang's tone and manner of speaking, which made Xiao'e roll her eyes even more.

"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore, this is really boring!"

Seeing this, Li Jingshu finally put Xiao'e down and turned to look at the middle-aged man beside her with a slightly wary gaze.

"Let me introduce myself, Uncle!"

"I'm not like Xiao'e. Don't try to deceive me. After all, I'm not as naive and kind-hearted as her."

Under the big tree at the entrance of Li Household Village.

The old village chief was as leisurely as ever, except now he had a rocking recliner under his bottom.

"Sigh, Non-Crying Child really spoils that girl too much---"

His gaze inadvertently swept over Li Jingshu, Xiao'e, and the middle-aged man who were talking.

After a brief moment of thought, the old village chief turned his head and began to complain to the raccoon dog statue on the shrine bench beside him, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"And you, Grandmother Mountain God, you absolutely must not indulge that girl anymore."

"It's all because of your and the Non-Crying Child's favoritism—"

"That girl is so disrespectful these days, nobody in the village can control her."

"Take this morning for example. If it weren't for Girl Xi keeping a close eye on her, she probably would have run off to the mountains to fight those wild animals again." Although I know those wild animals are no match for her, they can't keep going on like this, can they?

After a slight pause, the old village chief deliberately lowered his voice and spoke.

"I know that Non-Crying Child is no ordinary person; she also has ambitions and visions—"

"But now, apart from the Big Girl, no one in the village can keep up with him."

"I wish I could live two more years—"

"If I'm gone someday, my Big Girl might be the only one who can help him."

"You don't think Non-Crying Child would be willing to order his parents around, do you?"

Having lived for so many years, the old village chief had long since had enough of life.

It wasn't until Li Boyang was born that the old village chief, who had been numb for most of his life, saw hope again and a different future.

Personally speaking, the old village chief's mentality is actually quite similar to that of a middle-aged person.

He feared that one day Li Boyang would leave the village, and everything here would return to its precarious state.

"Actually, I'm not greedy. Just give me another ten years—"

"Wait until I grow up and stop Non-Crying Child, then you can take me away."
