Chapter 62: Sitting up in shock while dying of illness (please vote for the third update)
"Mr. Lin."
"Sheriff."
"How is the situation in the town now?"
"The town is not small, really not small. There are eight lakes in our town, one large, seven small and eight. These eight lakes are natural reservoirs. We only need to build waterwheels to irrigate the land. Therefore, as long as the land in the town
Once it is developed, there will be no shortage of water and it can be transformed into paddy fields. This is the biggest advantage of our town."
"But there are too few people, Sheriff, there are really too few people. There is such good land and so many paddy fields waiting for everyone to cultivate it, but there are too few people!"
"Now the entire Linjia Town, including the 116 people who just arrived today, is only 132 households with 545 people."
"Among the more than five hundred people, there are more than sixty children. These children will soon go to the Academy to study. No one can stop this."
"There are also more than fifty elderly people. Excluding the elderly and children, there are almost only four hundred people left."
"But how can four hundred people be enough?"
"I calculated that the land near these seven small lakes alone can create at least 30,000 acres of paddy fields."
"If this large lake is developed, at least 100,000 acres of paddy fields can be reclaimed nearby."
"But there are too few people. With four hundred people, even if they work day and night, how much land can be reclaimed?"
"Furthermore, those who open up wasteland know that the harvest of this land in the first few years is very small, and it is all raw land. It must be planted for a few years before it can slowly become like mature land."
"There are few people, and there are even fewer strong laborers who can work. Those who have some strength and a little talent are all going to the army now. A very few have gone to the county soldiers' camp, and the rest have also gone.
County soldiers participate in training every day."
"After removing these, there are only 330 or 40 people left. We cannot say that all of them are weak, but there are indeed not many who are good at work."
"County officer, when the next batch of people come ashore, you have to allocate a few more to Laolin Town. Look at this lake, how good it is, look at this paddy field, how good it is, look at this land, how good it is.
…”
Mayor Lao Lin pulled Jiang Hua's sleeve and talked a lot, even spitting on Jiang Hua. However, Jiang Hua didn't care at all and listened to Mayor Lao Lin's story with great interest.
"Moreover, in addition to these paddy fields, our Laolin Town also has a spiritual spring. This spring contains spiritual energy. There is a forest growing near the spring. This forest is full of peach trees that are hundreds of years old.
"
"I have also tasted some of these peaches from the peach trees. They are as effective as spiritual rice. After taking them, they can add a little more vitality."
"Although these peaches cannot be said to prolong life, they can help the dying person take a breath, enter a state of reflection, have the opportunity to say their last words, and take one last look at the world. Although the effect is not significant, it is
It can also be called a spiritual fruit."
"The most important thing is that there is an old peach tree, which is even thousands of years old. It can be called a spiritual root..."
"Guardian, what a good resource this is. With this peach tree, the town can attract Qigong practitioners to settle down, and even based on it, a series of wood magic can be developed. Is this a small town?
A special industry?”
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. When I get back, I will ask the Taoists to come over and inspect..."
Jiang Hua didn't leave until the sun was about to set. Before leaving, Mr. Lin stuffed several big peaches into his mouth, saying they were for Jiang Hua's dinner.
Looking at the several big peaches in his arms, Jiang Hua took a bite. They were quite sweet, juicy, crunchy, and tasted okay.
Tonight, he planned to go to at least two more towns for on-the-spot investigation.
…
Another night
The big demon appears again in a village
This village is different from the previous one. This is a village composed purely of savages.
Therefore, this time, the group of monsters rushed directly into the village without even covering up, and their whole bodies were filled with black mist. Wherever they passed, there was no life left.
ah
Along with the screams of pain, the whole village fell into deathly silence.
However, this time when the demons left, something unexpected happened in the village.
About a quarter of an hour later, the doctor, who had been lying on the ground and transformed into a corpse, sat up from the ground.
When he sat up, because the movement was too violent, the muscles on the corpse instantly turned into ashes and fell to the ground, making a squelching sound, revealing a white skeleton with yellow spots.
If any of the villagers were still alive, they would be able to identify the skeleton as that of a traveling doctor from outside the village.
Many savages live in villages where there are no doctors.
The doctors who can really treat doctors have long gone to the fiefdoms of the Chinese or the fiefdoms of the scholars, and they will not be reduced to going to the savage villages.
However, occasionally, traveling doctors would go to the savage villages to treat patients and earn money.
Sometimes doctors would come here with their apprentices, using the bodies of savages to provide their apprentices with their medical treatment abilities.
This traveling doctor has just been in the village for three days. He is highly skilled and the price is not expensive. He is very popular.
Bai Gu lowered his head and looked at his own skeleton, and shook his head: "It's too cruel, it's really too cruel."
"In the past, I had only read relevant records in the history recorded by the Taoist Palace, but never seen them before. I was still too naive and underestimated the bottom line of these nobles."
In the Taoist Palace, there have been books recorded that some nobles will use all means to activate or maintain their bloodline. Using formations, using various medicine packs, taking essence and blood, etc. are all common things.
But there are also nobles who conquer and tame the bloodline by appropriately indulging the desires in the bloodline.
To conquer a bloodline, in addition to being tough all the way to the end and suppressing all the desires in the bloodline with an extremely strong will, occasionally indulging in the bloodline and letting the desires in the bloodline make the decision is also a way to conquer the bloodline.
Therefore, sometimes, some nobles will be dissolute.
Some nobles chose to take off their clothes and run on the street.
Some nobles choose to meet three thousand people in person, and after asking around, they find out that their ancestors have the blood of the Fox clan.
Mo Sheng once commented that as long as the way of indulging blood is not based on harming other people's lives, it can be understood.
But elixirs cost money, and the elixirs that can work on the bloodline of the second-generation minister are even more expensive. More importantly, many times you can't buy them even if you have money.
At this time, it becomes a very cheap way to directly devour human life.
"Although this big demon is surrounded by black mist, a tail can be vaguely seen."
"There is too much water spirit energy contained in this black mist. Although it is extremely corrosive, I can smell it right away. There is a smell in it. I met the famous man in Wanhua Garden in Liucheng.
Smells like a prostitute..."
And what about the relationship between the famous prostitute in Ten Thousand Gardens and the Hu family?
After a while, the corpse completely disappeared, turning into a puff of smoke and heading into the distance at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
