I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 289 Civilization Emerges from Infancy (23)

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of rice.

By the time the celebration ended, the bright moon was already high in the sky.

After confirming that Chen Yun had gone back to her room to rest, Li Yu cautiously pushed open the door.

Then, Li Yu saw Li Boyang in the courtyard under the moonlight, teasing and feeding several hoopoes.

As Li Yu's personal hunting dogs, these few wolves have been trained for so many years and are now all very intelligent and robust.

Let alone ordinary wild beasts, even spirits and monsters cannot withstand their encirclement and hunt.

"How about it? Your old man has taken good care of them, hasn't he?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Yu quickly sat down opposite Li Boyang with a smile on his face.

"It's a pity that their diet is a bit difficult to follow; in addition to eating meat, they also like to swallow charcoal."

“There’s no coal near our village, so I have to go to Gao Village Town every time to buy coal for them…”

"Although they also eat charcoal, I always feel that coal suits their taste better."

Li Yu reached out and stroked a horde that had come up to him, and his words surprised Li Boyang.

Then Li Boyang slowly withdrew the charcoal from his hand, glancing helplessly at his father.

"You're such a spoilsport, no wonder your mother doesn't like you."

As father and son, the atmosphere of the conversation between Li Boyang and Li Yu was noticeably different from before.

After all, although Li Yu was worried about Li Boyang's condition, he never doubted his son's abilities.

"What do you know, kid? That's just romance between husband and wife!"

"More important than that is when you're going to give me a grandson?"

“Your mother has been nagging about this for a long time, but she's just too embarrassed to mention it to you.”

Li Yu chatted merrily with Li Boyang, without asking him about his recent situation like Chen Yun had.

"If you like children so much, why don't you have another one with my mother?"

With a quick roll of his eyes, Li Boyang retorted in kind.

"How can a grandson and a son be the same?"

"Besides, having a worry-free son like you is enough. Your mother and I have no intention of raising a second one."

Li Yu's words fully demonstrate what it means to say that "the son is just an accident, but the couple is true love."

In fact, this is what distinguishes Li Yu and Chen Yun from the vast majority of mountain people of this era.

They were truly together because of love, and they didn't have a strong obsession with procreation and offspring.

Especially after having a son named Li Boyang.

They spent far more effort on Li Boyang than other mountain people.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Li Boyang was not born a saint, his upbringing would not be much different.

This is far better than most mountain people who only care about giving birth or feeding them, which is considered raising them.

"Speaking of which, what brings you back this time?"

He quickly steered the conversation back on track, and Li Yu didn't even glance at Li Boyang when he said this.

Years of father-son relationship have given Li Yu a deep understanding of Li Boyang's character.

His return this time is definitely not just because he solved his own problems.

"Uh, was I that obvious?"

Li Boyang blinked gently and asked curiously.

"It's not a matter of whether it's obvious or not, it's that you never even thought of hiding it."

"It wasn't just me who noticed; the old village chief and that clever little rascal Li Chengfeng noticed it too." "Is it related to the 'tidal bore' from the south?"

Li Boyang was truly shocked when Li Yu said this.

Because he never expected that Li Yu would know what was happening hundreds of miles away.

"Don't look at me like that, your dad isn't stupid."

"How could I not know about such a big thing that happened in the south?"

"And you've underestimated the Yunmeng Marsh you created..."

When Li Yu said these words, it was essentially a confrontation with Li Boyang.

He not only knew that Li Boyang was the Red-Haired Ghost God, the Celestial Being, but he also knew that Yunmeng Marsh was actually his achievement in saving the mountains and rivers of the Hundred Lands.

“The Yunmeng Marsh connects the waterways of the entire Bai Di mountain range, allowing the mountain people to barter and exchange goods.”

“But since half a year ago, the mountain people from the south have rarely come to our area anymore.”

"Your father is just incompetent, not lacking in vision..."

"So I made a special trip to 'Camellia Mountain' a while ago, and that's where I saw the remains that had been washed ashore by the water."

"Among those corpses, I recognized many familiar faces."

With a deep sadness on his face, Li Yu sighed softly.

“I knew from that time that you would be coming down the mountain soon.”

"Sure enough, I've only been back for a few days, and you've already come back too, and you even said you want to stay permanently."

I listened silently to Li Yu's entire story.

Li Boyang then realized that once something happens, a perceptive person might even sense it earlier than he, a prophet.

“You’re right, a ‘tidal wave’ has occurred on the south bank of Yunmengze.”

"Just like the floods a few years ago, except this time it's seawater overflowing, the sea god causing chaos..."

Before Li Boyang could finish speaking, Li Yu interrupted him.

"So, is what we're doing this time the same as a few years ago—just flood control and disaster relief?"

“Don’t cry, my child. Perhaps because you’ve been staying on Feilai Peak these past few years, you’re not very clear about the current situation of us mountain people.”

"A few years ago, Hemu Village sent people along the canal to the outside world, opening up trade and exchange channels with other countries."

"In addition to food, trees and herbs, they occasionally sell weapons as a side job."

At this point, Li Yu suddenly stared intently into Li Boyang's eyes and spoke in a resolute tone.

“Son, the mountain people cannot live under your protection forever. We must also learn to explore the outside world on our own.”

He fell silent again, and all Li Boyang could see in Li Yu's eyes at that moment was seriousness and earnestness.

"The situation on the south bank is indeed a bit more serious than the last flood..."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Boyang finally chose to confess.

"Next, I need your help to contact other villages and select some capable young adults to carry out a large-scale rescue and flood control operation."

"In this process, they may personally participate in the battle, or even face some unfamiliar Aragami."

"But don't worry, I won't let them participate in this operation for nothing."

“All the mountain villages that participated in this operation can receive a reward from me unconditionally.”

"Superior breeds, elixirs, weapons, technology, cultivation methods, and even unique divine artifacts..."

"My only requirement is that they must obey and not act on their own."
