Chapter 200 A Born Saint (33)

Although the unicorn has already declared its submission.

Just in case, Li Boyang still put a section of the God-Binding Rope through its nose.

Of course, it's different from the binding rope around Gao Yao Jun's neck.

The Binding Rope of the Unicorn did not restrict His abilities and supernatural powers.

On the contrary, with Li Boyang's approval, the Unicorn Rhinoceros can even unleash some of the divine power of the Binding God Rope.

So when Li Boyang rode his unique one-horned water buffalo back to Lijia 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 unicorn.

Fortunately, Li Boyang stopped them in time.

He wasn't sure if the newly surrendered unicorn would fly into a rage because of this.

However, when Li Boyang looked at the unicorn again, he realized that his concerns might have been unnecessary.

Because the unicorn didn't care at all about the offenses made by 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?

Such a thought flashed through my mind.

Li Boyang suddenly became curious: where did Chiyu get this one-horned rhinoceros from?
Li Boyang is now almost certain that the Red Carp must have embellished the story and said a lot of nonsense while luring the unicorn to him.

Unfortunately, Li Boyang's pleasant mood did not last long.

It was extinguished by the barren rice paddies in front of him.

As Xi Luo previously mentioned, this time of year is usually when spring is almost here.

But even now, the area around Lijia Village is still shrouded in continuous rain and sunshine.

Those soils that are constantly soaked in water are simply not suitable for growing any crops.

If Lijia Village is in such a state, one can only imagine the situation in other mountain villages in the Baidi Mountains.

Based on the accumulation of Lijiacun in the previous few years.

If we save money this year, we might be able to survive, but it won't be an easy life.

Not to mention, times of famine reveal the true nature of people.

Even Li Boyang was unsure what crazy things those starving mountain people might do in extreme circumstances.

The only saving grace is that, under Li Boyang's arrangement, most of the nearby villages, including Lijia 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 magical 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 unicorn beneath him.

With such a free laborer offering himself up, many of Li Boyang's original plans became possible to be implemented.

"Don't cry, my child, you're finally back!"

Riding the unicorn 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 has sent someone to ask us for help. They want to know what we should do next?"

"According to the usual schedule, the planting season is just a few days away..."

"Do you think we should make some preparations in advance?"

"If this flood continues, could we plant some crops with shorter growth cycles?"

"Or we could try a different kind of taro. Although the reserves and yield of taro are not large, every harvest is a harvest."

The old village chief's worries were also a source of concern for all the villagers in the surrounding mountains.

"It hasn't reached that point yet. Our area is mostly terraced fields, and we've been building irrigation canals for drainage..."

"So even in the worst-case scenario, it is still possible to grow a season of rice."

"Besides, the Mountain Goddess has already started working on resolving this flood, so you don't need to worry about it affecting us here." Unbeknownst to many, Li Boyang seemed to have become a pillar of strength for the villagers of Lijia Village and even the surrounding villages.

Even the old village chief, with whom he had a very close relationship, gradually began to listen to Li Boyang's advice.

"That's good, as long as 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 was quite effective..."

"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 method you taught me is too advanced for my age; I simply can't learn it."

He started chatting away with Li Boyang as usual.

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 hard to spare any extra energy to take care of them."

"So I was wondering if your 'enlightenment plan' could be brought forward a little earlier..."

"Don't let these wild girls and boys run around anymore. I'm afraid they might get kidnapped by some wild gods or monsters one day."

The old village chief's words were not unfounded.

Since Li Boyang was born, the quality of children in Lijia Village has improved almost linearly.

Not only did no infants die, but their physical fitness and intelligence also far surpassed those of other children in the mountain villages at the same time.

It is no exaggeration to say that "candidate priests" like those in the Ghost Kingdom, who need to be carefully selected to be shortlisted, can be found almost everywhere in Lijia 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 to abduct the children of Li Family Village.

Especially in these chaotic times.

The old village chief knew better than anyone just how serious the potential crisis that Li Family Village was about to face was.

"It's not that I don't want to enlighten people, it's just that too much has happened recently."

With a slight sigh, Li Boyang jumped off the back of the unicorn.

"Besides me, only that big girl Li Jingshu in the village can both manage those children and provide them with 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 rascal, trying to outsmart this old man..."

"Seventh Brother'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 child is also an idiot. You clearly gave him so many healing pills, but he didn't eat a single one and gave them to others."

"I think you should stop letting 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 Lijia Village and the surrounding villages, his identity was no longer simply that of "the son of the mountain god."

—Children who don't cry are born saints.

Without much communication or emphasis, this has already become the consensus of most people regarding Li Boyang.
