The wheat field was dazzlingly golden, looking like a scattering of brilliant yellow agates, decorating the open country. There weren’t many of them in quantity, but each one was large and its granules plump,
However, the roots and stems of the Spiritual Wheat were as tough as vine tendrils, and a faint halo shimmered around them, providing some defense. They were harder than rock, making them rather difficult to harvest.
By noon, Lin Zhuang and the others had finally managed to harvest all the Spiritual Wheat.
There was not a small amount, nearly filling over twenty large bamboo baskets to the brim.
After a short rest, they handed over the harvested Spiritual Wheat to old man Lin.
Old man Lin was Liu Village’s village head. Besides Jiang Hui, he was the most powerful person in Liu Village. Ordinary things were fine, but precious items like these had to be distributed by him.
The method of distribution was also simple – those who worked more received more, while less work meant fewer rewards.
Regardless, old man Lin always ensured that everyone received a share.
This was mainly because there was no too burdent “lazies” in the village, the villagers were unsophisticated and hardworking, always eager to participate whenever there was work to be done, without any cunning opportunists.
By nightfall, all the Spiritual Wheat had been distributed.
Each villager had a look of joy on their face. Although they did not get a significant amount, this wheat was a gift from Lord Willow God, and therefore not any ordinary grain.
The village head had said that this Spiritual Wheat was rare; consuming it would enhance one’s physical strength, solidify the foundation of one’s body, prolong life, and cleanse the five internal organs.
Having such a beneficial item was more than enough to satisfy them.
However, the ones who were most content were the new members of Liu Village that recently joined.
They originally thought they could only smell the wheat, watch others enjoy this delicacy but to their surprise, they also had a share.
“In my lifetime, I never thought I would eat the food bestowed by God. I have not lived in vain!”
Many of the new members chuckled as they watched the golden kernels in their hands. From time to time, they discreetly picked up a grain and gently licked it, looking silly. If you didn’t know better, you might think they were a gathering of silly, happy people.
Old man Lin did not distribute all the Spiritual Wheat. He kept some, not for his own use, but for reseeding next year.
The old man had already planned in his heart. He would save some every year, and soon, the fertile soil would be completely enveloped by a dense, dazzling gold.
Then, the villagers of Liu Village could eat as much as they pleased!
After distributing the Spiritual Wheat, old man Lin brought out several large jars of Monkey Wine awarded by Jiang Hui.
There were three jars in total, each about the size of an adult. As the jar lid was opened, a pure fragrance wafted out, warming the heart as if by magic.
After doing all this, following Jiang Hui’s list, he called over Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen and the others and handed each of them a copy of the Creation Divine Skills Secret Book.
Outside Liu Village, the bonfires expelled the surrounding darkness.
Inside Liu Village, villagers were singing and dancing, their laughter and conversation filling the air, a strong wine fragrance prevailed, all presenting a scene of peace and tranquility,
“What kind of wine is this? Why is it so delicious?!”
Some exclaimed after sipping a small mouthful, not able to hold back their tongue.
They had never tasted such a delicious wine, one sip and they felt like all their energy was replenished.
Moreover, all the fatigue of their bodies were instantly relieved and they were filled with vitality again.
Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and others sat in the central position of the square, a position of special status.
They were the village’s top fighters, second in status and authority only to Old man Lin. They held great power and prominence in the village, ranking among the top echelons.
In particular, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen, despite being young, quietly led their respective teams. Although their teams were small and comprised mostly of adolescents, each member was an elite youth.
Amidst the clinking of cups…
In a short time, under the flickering light of bonfires, the children’s faces had turned slightly flushed.
Especially Tu Wa Zi, small in stature but a large drinker, who had already consumed three to four bowls in a short time.
“Delicious-”
A swaying cup of wine, clear as a mirror, the intoxicating aroma of the wine wafting in the air, made Tu Wa Zi take another mouthful reflexively.
“With every gulp of wine that goes down a hero’s gullet, seven-tenths turns into moonlight, and the rest roars into Sword Qi! I, Tu Wa Zi, wish to become a swordsman, and strive to bring that chubby girl back to the village!”
The young man spoke with unrestrained joy. Yet, after just a few cups, he was slightly intoxicated; his speech was slurred.
“Which chubby girl?” Gu Chen and Second Brother Lin were puzzled, having no memory of such a girl.
Neither in their village nor outside had they seen such a plump woman.
“It’s that one from the Deer Academy, with a big and perky butt, looking plump and tender. If that’s not called chubby, what is!”
Tu Wa Zi wiped the corner of his mouth eagerly, and chuckled childishly as a charming figure seemingly appeared before his eyes.
He has a preference for plump girls.
“You little brat, that’s not called chubby – that’s called curvy!” Second Brother Lin smacked his lips, tutting and speaking in a flushed face. He drank the most and was already dancing with abandon. His flurry of movements, though bizarre, went unnoticed amidst the singing and dancing crowd.
Lin Zhuang sat quietly on the side. Being a man of few words, he simply smiled without uttering a word.
However, while he was still enjoying the sweet taste of Monkey Wine, his wife’s distressed shrieks jarred his senses, rife with urgency and panic.
From a distance came a kind-faced, plump woman swiftly running towards them.
“What’s the matter, my dear?” Lin Zhuang raised an eyebrow in confusion, quickly stood up, and supported the frantic woman.
“Dear, something is wrong! Our eldest is acting mad, continuously shouting into empty space. Like he’s possessed, and he’s vomiting blood…”
The woman’s eyes were red, breathless, wiping her tears as she spoke.
“What!!!” Lin Zhuang tensed, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.
“Daughter-in-law, explain properly; what exactly happened?” Old man Lin walked over and asked anxiously after hearing the plump woman’s report.
“I don’t know what happened. Our eldest was just fine. He had some Monkey Wine and said he was feeling drowsy, so I took him home. Suddenly, he started acting madly and was vomiting blood!”
The woman broke down crying, repeatedly stating these few sentences; evidently, she had been shocked.
Lin Zhuang managed to regain his composure. Despite his startled expression and cluelessness, he knew he had to do something.
“Second Sister, take care of your aunt. We are going to check!” Old man Lin, having experienced crises previously, stayed calm.
“No, I want to go too. He is my child!”
The plump woman wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and quickly shook her head. Even if her heart couldn’t bear it, she had to see her child..
