The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Please, my Lord, let my child recover immediately."

"..."

Everyone was busy reciting their own wishes. Wan Lianxing was stunned on the spot. It was the first time he knew what it meant to be at a loss. He didn't know whether to let these people stand up or let them finish what they wanted.

These people don't treat him as a human being at all; they obviously treat him as an omnipotent god.

Wan Lianxing looked at Ge Dongqing, then at his companions.

The attendant stepped forward and said, "If you have made a wish, get up quickly. The Marquis is a living person, and the wish may not come true."

These women were extremely pious and did not listen to the advice of their companions at all. They knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and muttered something. After they had recited everything they thought and hoped for in their hearts, they kowtowed to Wan Lianxing three times. Only after doing this did they stand up contentedly.

The village chief, Brother Li, smiled and said, "My Lord, you are not scared, are you?"

Wan Lianxing said hypocritically: "That's not true."

The village chief led everyone into the house. Looking at the small house, one could tell the predicament inside. Wan Lianxing chose to sit in the yard for a while.

Men, women, young and old from the whole village gathered here. Wan Lianxing, who had been able to sit down and talk for a few words, could no longer sit still. This kind of onlookers was very strange. It was different from any previous onlookers. It was obvious that they did not treat him as a human being.

The village chief, Brother Li, mobilized everyone and said, "Everyone, please bring out the delicious food and drinks at home to entertain the Marquis."

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned around and went home to look for their things.

"No way. I'll be gone in one stick of incense." No one listened to Wan Lianxing. The situation was out of control. Everyone ran away in a swarm. Soon everyone came, bringing all kinds of things, but the most common thing seen was ducks.

Just now, everyone was crying for the ducks, which showed how precious the ducks were to them. Wan Lianxing could not bear this. He stood up and said to everyone, "I appreciate the kindness of the villagers, but I will not eat the ducks. You can take them home and raise them. I will leave soon."

"Don't leave, we'll stew the duck in a moment."

Wan Lianxing said, "Brother Li, we just finished eating game, have you forgotten?"

"Then take the duck back to the Marquis."

No matter how Wan Lianxing refused, they stuffed the ducks into baskets and loaded them onto Wan Lianxing's cart.

Soon the water boiled for Wan Lianxing was brought up, "My Lord, there is no tea in the village. I was afraid that you would not be accustomed to the water here, so I made you some grass leaves to suppress the fishy smell of the water."

This water was worse than the one he drank at Chen Gongxiang's house. Mint was soaked in boiling hot water. The water in the tea bowl was emerald green. He didn't know how many mint leaves the brewer had put in it. Wan Lianxing took a sip, and the cool air flowed from his mouth to his throat and then to his stomach. In short, it was cool everywhere it touched. In addition, Wan Lianxing felt that the water smelled like duck feathers.

He glanced casually at the base of the wall and saw a very old spinning wheel. "Is there anyone spinning at home?"

"I usually spin and weave."

“You have a loom here?”

"My grandmother left me a loom. It's much older than me, but it can still be used after some repairs. With this loom, the whole village will have no worries about clothes."

Wan Lianxing said: "Then you deserve the title of village chief."

Brother Li's face turned red. His ability to become the village chief was closely related to the loom in his family.

Wan Lianxing said, "In a few days, I will have someone send you some looms and spinning wheels."

The village chief, Brother Li, said, "That would be great. I was thinking of taking people to Fengying to get a few spinning wheels after the harvest, but the journey is too far and the women here have never been out of the house, so I haven't gone yet. Lord, I heard that spinning wheels and looms are free and cost nothing."

Wan Lianxing said: "A woman can own one. If she uses it carefully, she can use it for many years."

Everyone was happy when they heard this, "If we had a loom, our lives would be better."

Wan Lianxing estimated the time, drank a glass of mint water, and left.

When they returned to the foot of the mountain where they hunted, the hunting warriors were already waiting for them there with a rich prey.

Suiying kicked the wild boar on the ground and said, "My Lord, look, we have killed two more wild boars."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Not bad, we have gained a lot. Let's go back."

After returning to the mansion, Wan Lianxing called Hong Yunrang over and said, "Yunrang, I have done everything I promised you. No one has touched your father. I have also hired someone to examine your father's wounds and give him medicine. Now he wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"

Hong Yunrang was eager to see him. He not only wanted to see his father, but also wanted to see his family. However, Wan Lianxing's tone made him dare not say that he wanted to see them. He could only shake his head and say, "Since my father is fine now, I won't see him."

Wan Lianxing stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Yunrang, you are a sensible child. Grandpa was right about you."

"It's all thanks to my grandfather's good teaching."

Hong Zhekai was already living in the residence arranged for him by Wan Lianxing, and his family had been sent back. From now on, they no longer had to reclaim wasteland in the mountains. He knew in his heart that Wan Lianxing wanted to use him. He was a proud man who would not bow his head, but looking at his family who had suffered with him along the way, he had no choice but to bow his head. After several months of exile, the family sat together happily for the first time to have a hot meal.

"Master, why don't you eat?"

Hong Zhekai said: "Wan Lianxing promised to let Yuner come back to see me later, why hasn't she come back yet?"

It was late at night and Hong Yunrang still hadn't returned, so Hong Zhekai came the next day with his drawings.

Wan Lianxing knew that he would have to come early in the morning today. He was really here to give him the blueprints but to ask for someone.

"You're here early. What? Has the blueprint for managing Fengying come out?"

"I made a rough sketch."

Wan Lianxing said: "If it's too rough, don't show it to me. I can't understand it."

Hong Zhekai complained in his heart that even if he drew it in great detail, Wan Lianxing still wouldn't be able to understand it.

Ge Dongqing came out to smooth things over and said, "Bring it here and let us see."

Wan Lianxing said, "Since we are watching, let's not just watch it with the three of us, go call the people who should be called, and let everyone listen to Hong Zhe's ideas together."

Hong Zhekai said, "My Lord, where is my son? I promised to let Yunrang see me, but why didn't he show up last night?"

Wan Lianxing said, "I have asked him what he thinks. If he doesn't want to see you, I can't force him to go. Also, can you please not ask me for my son when we are talking about business? I told you that I don't want your son. I just want to raise him for a few days. Please explain the water conservancy project first. Once you have explained it clearly, I will ask someone to call Yunrang."
