They sent away the people who stayed in the last village with smiles on their faces. The family looked at each other in amazement at the copper plates in the dustpan.
A delighted smile appeared on Wu Meili's lips, she pushed the dustpan made of bamboo in the direction of Zhou Baoer and said.
"You earned this money, so it's your turn to take it. If you want to eat, drink, have fun, or do anything, use the money to do it."
Zhou Baoer pouted his mouth unhappily and asked.
“Can’t I use the money I earn to be filial to my grandma and my parents?”
Wu Meili smiled happily and replied.
"We are all adults, how can we take money from a child like you? It would be so embarrassing to tell anyone."
Zhou Baoer was a little dissatisfied with this, put his little hands on his hips and said loudly.
"Mom, my second aunt pays grandma money every month, so can I!"
Wu Meili narrowed her eyes with joy and spoke word by word.
"They are adults, you are a child, you are different."
Zhou Baoer's little mouth pouted even higher and asked
"Why is it different?"
Wu Meili thought for a while and came up with a fact that Zhou Baoer might never be able to realize.
"They got married and had children, but you didn't."
Zhou Baoer lowered his head in frustration and nodded reluctantly.
"oh!"
"Okay, take a shower and rest. You will go back to Huai'an Academy tomorrow."
Wu Meili smiled with satisfaction, said something to Zhou Baoer, and then to her sons.
"The same goes for you three brothers. When Bao'er finishes taking a bath, you will go one by one."
The three Zhou brothers nodded and said in unison.
"Okay, mother."
After a dreamless night, Zhou Baoer opened his eyes in a daze as usual. After washing up skillfully, he said goodbye to his grandma who also got up early, and left home with his master Chen Chen who arrived at an unknown time.
I put on my military uniform for training and then had a delicious breakfast. Zhou Baoer washed up again, put on the blue and white school uniform of Huai'an Academy, and brought six little carrots to Huai'an Academy and entered different classrooms.
Bringing his loyal younger brother He Tingxiao to the genius class, Zhou Baoer suddenly discovered a serious problem. There were originally sixteen students in the classroom, but now only fourteen were left.
"Where did Sister Kang and Sister Feng go? Why didn't anyone see them?"
She was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Hong who had just passed by her, raised her head and asked.
Liu Hong's talent is Gonggong, and his ability is the ability to absorb a large amount of water. When he saw Zhou Baoer asking him, he answered casually.
"They took over the assignment from the college and went out to do business."
After saying that, he stepped on the soft cushion and continued walking towards his seat.
Zhou Baoer quickly remembered the abilities of his two sisters and nodded in understanding. One of the two sisters' innate abilities can increase the germination rate of seeds, and the other can enhance the activity of the land. In the current busy farming season, these two abilities are bound to be of great use.
After figuring this out, she talked to everyone for a while and then began to study seriously with Dean Pei Xuanli.
Even though many contents in the book made her find it unbearable, she was willing to endure it for the ultimate goal, the final explosion.
—
At this moment, in a small mountain village outside the mountain.
A group of soldiers holding spears and wearing armor, escorting two exquisite sedans, walked into the mountain village.
The sedan was carved from black wood with golden veins, inlaid with various gems, and wrapped with gorgeous and colorful silk. It looked extremely beautiful.
The arrival of this group of people immediately made the whole village excited. Many people came out of their homes, or were in the fields, either openly or secretly watching.
The old village chief held a walking stick and ran out of his home with quick hands and feet, and quickly greeted him with a smile like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
On the contrary, the village chief's youngest daughter-in-law, Sun Caixia's mother, Zhao Yiyun, who was extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament, shut herself up in the room silently.
The old village chief was supported by someone and walked with the team while talking for a while, and then shouted excitedly to the surrounding villagers who were watching the fun.
"Folks, the witch is here."
Many people immediately shouted and looked at the two gorgeous sedans with expectant faces.
The tall soldiers with resolute expressions surrounded the two sedans, preventing anyone from taking advantage of them.
As the team gradually moved forward, more and more people followed them around.
Wu Meili held her second granddaughter Zhenzhen, and Hehua held her son Xiaoyu, who were also among the crowd.
At the edge of the field, the team finally stopped. Inside the sedan, which seemed to be a work of art, a young girl suddenly walked out.
She wore layers of colorful silk clothes and various exquisite and gorgeous accessories, just like a fairy from heaven descending to earth.
Everyone looked around with astonishment on their faces. They all said that she was worthy of being a miko, and she didn't look like a mortal at first glance.
At this moment, the soldiers suddenly took action and gathered together with pieces of strange-shaped wood. Under the eyes of many people in disbelief, they spliced the pieces together to form a three-story altar.
Feng Yanhua jumped off the sedan, jumped up directly, landed on the altar, and slowly climbed to the top.
Her talent is the God of Spring Goumang, and her ability is to increase the germination rate of seeds. This is never empty talk, but a fact.
The wide sleeves and long hem trailed to the ground, leaving beautiful arcs as the body turned.
The villagers looked on, all confused. Why is the miko dancing? Could it be that this is the legendary dancing master? However, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t feel right!
Just when everyone was puzzled, with Feng Yanhua's slow and feeble movements, green light spots fell from the sky, as if they were alive, and silently integrated into the seeds.
People with sharp eyes have discovered that regardless of whether the seeds are planted in the soil or not, they have changed a little at a speed visible to the naked eye. Looking at them makes them feel much healthier, which makes people yearn for them.
After the dance ended, the green light spot also disappeared. Feng Yanhua weakly jumped up again, ignoring the shouts of everyone, and entered the sedan directly.
At this time, another person came out of the sedan. It was another witch, Kang Yuanyue, whose talent was Nuwa and whose ability was to increase the activity of soil.
Unlike Feng Yanhua, she wears a short skirt with narrow sleeves. The beautiful five-color skirt only covered her knees, revealing her slender legs and well-shaped feet.
Logically speaking, girls should not expose their calves and feet. However, there are always some exceptions.
Kang Yuanyue's exposed face, palms, calves, and feet are all painted with mysterious patterns using five-color paints, making it impossible for anyone to think of any blasphemy.
Under the various gazes of the people, she walked directly off the bridge, stepped on the land growing with various green grasses, and then ran and jumped in the fields.
The ribbons on her body danced with the wind, performing a silent song.
Wherever she passed, the land became softer and improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Experienced farmers all know that the crops grown in such land will definitely be better than before.
The villagers were excited and shouted the word "witch" one after another. That crazy look made the surrounding soldiers clenched their spears.
This was the first time in their lives that they saw the magic of a witch.
At this time, I finally understood why everyone was in awe of witches or wizards in ancient legends.
The two witches returned to the sedan chair and were escorted away by the soldiers. During this period, he didn't even say a word to anyone except the soldiers.
One of the generals lagged behind and said a few words to the village chief, then quickly caught up with the convoy and continued towards another village.
From the beginning, more than one village was invited to the witches, and Kang Yuanyue and Feng Yanhua did not only have this little job.
After the convoy left, the village chief immediately sent someone to inform each villager that each household would be charged according to the quantity and quality of the fields.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out and asked cautiously.
"Village chief, look, our fields haven't produced much yet. Who knows what the harvest will be like in the future? How about we get credit now and pay after the fields have harvested? What do you think?"
The village chief suddenly became furious and threatened with a cold face.
"If you don't pay the money, you will have to bear the wrath of Huai'an Academy. If you offend Huai'an Academy, it's hard to say whether you will be better off in the future. However, don't expect to get the convenience brought by the witches in the future."
Under the threat of life and property, the people who were greedy for petty gains finally dispersed. They reluctantly went home and took out their money, and reluctantly handed it over to the village chief when he collected the money.
Wu Meili and Hehua looked on, curling their lips in disdain. Most of the masters in Huai'an Academy are noble people, and there are witches and wizards among them. How can they be offended so easily
Huai'an Academy is the source of livelihood for several nearby villages, and most of everyone's money comes from there. If you offend Huai'an Academy and they don't buy your stuff or let you work, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, they told the village chief on the spot that they would pay in full. Go home now, prepare the coins, and wait for the village chief to collect them with peace of mind. It’s definitely not like some people who procrastinate and pretend they have forgotten, and even remember when others remind them.
The village chief expressed great satisfaction with such well-informed and good villagers. It would be nice if everyone was like this, but unfortunately that's just a wishful thinking. Maybe it will be impossible to achieve even if you are poor for a lifetime.
