Chapter 79 The Great Aunt
Many people have gathered in the monk's village.

The wheat was like honey, attracting a large crowd of people.

There were 200 of them when they were walking out of Changshan Town, but by the time they arrived at the village, there were already 300 of them. More refugees were coming in from behind, and by now it was impossible to count the number of people. It was just felt that this small village could not accommodate so many people.

Some young and middle-aged people simply reclaimed nearby wasteland, took stones from the mines, and built new houses.

As the number of people increased, the work naturally increased, and the food became less and less.

Although Qian Chen had a lot of food, it was not so easy to eat when there were too many people. Caiyi had a limited amount of porridge, and she was alone. Even if she used the Beans to Make Soldiers and asked the little girls to help, she would definitely not be able to handle it.

As for the harvested wheat, it still needs to be dried and husked, then steamed. Although the quantity is sufficient, it is still a consumable after all.

After discovering this problem, Xiao Changcheng shook the wheat ears twice, and indeed a lot of wheat had grown on the ground around them, but the number was obviously much less than at the beginning.

Seeing this, Xiao Changcheng realized that he could no longer rely on this wheat ear for food.

He went straight to the monk and Caiyi who were still busy and told them about this matter.

"This is troublesome." Caiyi had two dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well in the past two days. Settling the residents and distributing porridge had taken up a lot of her energy. Now she was yawning even when she was talking.

She pulled herself together:
"I'm not that skilled yet, and I haven't learned how to make the crops grow again. If nothing works, let's just go and rob King Kang's crops."

"I'm afraid it's not possible now." Xiao Changcheng shook his head: "The Taoist priest told me the direction before, which should be to store up food and build high walls. Now we are still at the stage of storing food. It is definitely unrealistic to attack King Kang with so many people."

At this point, Xiao Changcheng also knew that entrusting the two Golden Bean generals to go directly to Xuzhou City to open the city gate and get food was the best option, but he also kept Zuo Chen's teachings in mind. Although the Golden Bean generals were powerful, there were only two of them in the end. If they couldn't build up their own strength, everything would be nonsense.

Now many strong young men have eaten their fill, so they started training in the village. With General Jindou instructing them, they practiced quite well.

With a sigh, Xiao Changcheng said, "It's a pity that it will take some time for the crops to mature."

"I can give it a try."

The monk on the side suddenly spoke, and Xiao Changcheng and Caiyi turned their heads to look at him with some confusion in their eyes.

The monk felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, scratching his head and said:

"I recently discovered that putting this golden light on crops seems to make them grow faster. I have been farming for my whole life, so I have some knowledge about millet and wheat."

The monk looked at the wheat ears in Xiao Changcheng's hand again and hesitated for a while:
"When the Taoist priest was working on the wheat ears, I was thinking whether I could change the seeds so that more wheat could be grown, so that the villagers would have more food to eat. I planned to find a few more people who know how to farm and work on it. Who knows, we might be able to grow good wheat."

"it is good."

Xiao Changcheng did not suspect anything and directly handed the wheat ears to the monk, who then went to find someone to study them.

He looked at Caiyi again, and his eyes finally fell on Caiyi's left foot.

Caiyi's left foot was now holding a piece of cloth, blood was still oozing from it, and she looked quite miserable.

She has to use crutches to walk normally, which has become a unique landscape in the village.

Caiyi has been very busy recently and has no time to treat the injury on her foot.

In addition to distributing porridge, she also served as a doctor.

That is the village doctor.

It's a coincidence that people who have been hungry for a long time are always prone to illness. Either they were sick before coming here, or after eating a full meal, the obsession with the soul and fetal light is gone, and their bodies collapse all of a sudden.

In short, many people feel strong and healthy after eating a full meal, while many people feel weak after eating a full meal.

If a person has a weak body, he will naturally be prone to illness. Although there are doctors in the village, they are few in number and have few medicines. Some doctors even get sick, so naturally the situation is a bit chaotic.

Caiyi was still distributing porridge when an old woman with her granddaughter found her. They knelt down in front of Caiyi, hoping that Caiyi could use her magical powers to save the child.

But she didn't understand any of this, so she had to use her innate true qi to try to treat the little girl. Unexpectedly, the effect was so great. As a result, her reputation spread, and many residents came to her for treatment for minor illnesses.

The result is that you're busy getting hit on the back of your head with the front of your feet.

"Miss Caiyi, is your leg okay?" Xiao Changcheng couldn't help but look at Caiyi's lame foot.

"It's not a big problem." Caiyi glanced at her feet.

The soles of her feet were a little itchy and painful now. Most of her true energy had been used to save others, and she had no spare energy to heal her own foot injury.

But she didn't care much about it. She had been staying next to the porridge pot recently and didn't move much, so it was okay.

"Pick a few young men with good eyesight and take some time to check out the movements of Xuzhou City. I always feel that King Kang will not give up. Didn't we seize some horses and swords before? Let's prepare them and be more vigilant."

Caiyi gave Xiao Changcheng a few instructions, and Xiao Changcheng nodded in agreement.

Although there are many troubles, life is visibly getting better.

There will be a way eventually.

Seeing that Xiao Changcheng had gone to work, Caiyi felt that it was enough time to rest, so she leaned on her crutches and walked towards the porridge pot.

After she took a few steps forward, a group of little guys ran over to her.

They were obviously full and their faces looked rosy.

These dolls were running in front, and some were chasing behind. The one running in the front looked back at the ones behind, but he didn't pay attention to the road and bumped into Caiyi's calf.

Caiyi cried out, and the little kid turned around and looked up at her. He opened his mouth and eyes wide:
"Great...Great aunt!"

Caiyi: "???"

"What does this eldest aunt mean?" Caiyi's mouth twitched slightly.

"My mother said that you have magical powers and we should address you respectfully. The villagers thought about it for a long time and felt that calling you Aunt is the safest."

Caiyi opened her mouth wide.

Can't you just call them fairies or maidens?

Is the eldest aunt acting decently?
But after the words were stuck in her throat for a long time, Caiyi still couldn't squeeze out a few words.

Forget it, let the folks call me whatever they want.

"Aunt, if you have time, can you help visit my mother?" the child asked Caiyi again. Caiyi was a little curious and asked:
"Is your mother ill?"

"Not really," the little kid shook his head, "My mom is pregnant. I estimate that my little brother will be born in two days."

Caiyi's face turned a little green again.

Delivering a baby.

She didn't do this!
Seeing the little baby's face full of anticipation, Caiyi could only sigh in the end, forced a smile and nodded.

The little kid immediately cheered and pulled Caiyi towards a big house in the village.

When she got here, Caiyi's face turned even greener just by looking inside.

The room was full of pregnant women. Upon closer inspection, there were six of them!
There are all kinds of conditions, from a slightly bulging lower abdomen to a completely round belly.

They were either leaning on chairs or lying on the bed, in various postures, and when they saw Caiyi, they all wanted to stand up and salute her.

"Hey! No, no, no!" Caiyi quickly stopped the pregnant women.

It looks like one person is kowtowing, but it is actually the same as two people kowtowing.

The little kid who had pulled her here before immediately pulled Caiyi and pointed at a woman. Her face was slightly sallow, which was not pretty compared to Caiyi's delicate face. Her hands were full of calluses, and it seemed that she often did farm work in the fields.

The woman looked very pregnant and could not move easily. When she saw Caiyi coming, she wanted to stand up and greet her, but she could not move. Caiyi immediately held her hand and stopped her:

"Don't move around, it's important to take care of your health."

The woman's face, which was a little pale, turned red in an instant:

"Great aunt."

Caiyi waved her hands and blushed.

She saw the round belly again, and almost subconsciously put her ear against it.

Listening carefully, Caiyi seemed to be able to feel the child moving slightly.

She couldn't hide the smile on her face.

At this moment, she seemed to understand what Zuo Chen once meant by "the heart of Tao is in great harmony".

At this moment, a villager suddenly walked in from outside the door, his face tense:
"Aunt, there's a soldier outside. He said he has something to talk to someone who can take care of it."

"Little soldier?" Caiyi looked puzzled and had to let go of the pregnant woman temporarily and limped towards the village gate.

It didn't take long for Caiyi to arrive at the entrance of the village.

At a glance, she saw an armored soldier standing on horseback not far away.

Who is this person? What does he want to do?

Caiyi frowned.

……

Chen Niu rode a fast horse and galloped towards Niu Jinshan.

He held the tiger talisman in his arms, and his heart became excited.

If he could bring the ghost army back, he would probably get a lot of rewards!
Thinking of this, his mouth was smiling till his ears were rooted.

After running for a while, Chen Niu suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

He led the horse to slow down its pace.

He frowned and looked around.

If I remember correctly,
This should be Luoshan City.

Where did I go when I fell down the mountain?
