Chapter 927
A True Action Taker
After discussing the matter, the chief leader Long Wanshan and the second-in-command Zhao Erma bid farewell to Yan Shouyi and Yan Xiaojiu and returned to the mountain stronghold together.
Although the stronghold's troops are now few in number, Yan Shouyi will send troops to rescue Long Wanshan whenever there is any situation there.
Besides, the Great Jing Dynasty is currently in a turbulent situation, and most people are starving and freezing. Generally, as long as there is food to eat, people will come to seek refuge. As time goes by, the stronghold will definitely recruit a lot of people.
Moreover, both the leader Long Wanshan and Yan Shouyi had incurred Xie Guangkun's wrath. Splitting up their forces would greatly benefit the luring out of Xie Guangkun and the mysterious force behind him with spider tattoos on their necks. Therefore, Long Wanshan and Zhao Erma felt that although they had allied themselves with Yan Shouyi, separating the two groups was the best option. Lai Naren also strongly agreed with Yan Shouyi's view.
After Long Wanshan and Zhao Erma left, only Yan Shouyi and Yan Xiaojiu remained in the room.
Yan Xiaojiu then recounted the events that had transpired in her family to Yan Shouyi in detail. She then said to Yan Shouyi, "Back then, my father was in charge of escorting medical supplies to aid refugees. It was these people with spider tattoos on their necks who sabotaged the operation. They were unhappy that my father had successfully escorted the supplies, so they massacred my entire family. This shows that these people are not good people!"
After hearing Yan Xiaojiu's words, Yan Shouyi nodded and said to him, "Not only are they not good people, but I suspect that there must be a powerful force behind them. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so audacious as to rob the supplies used to save the people. They might even be some rebels who have been entrenched for many years! If that's the case, even if we don't care about personal grudges, we will inevitably have to fight them in a tough battle!"
Yan Xiaojiu said, "Your guess is very likely, and extremely likely. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to persecute supplies meant for saving the people. It seems we're in for a tough battle sooner or later!"
Yan Shouyi said, "Yes, from the moment we decided to start this, I knew the dangers involved. A tough battle was inevitable sooner or later. I won't say any more. Tell everyone to train hard in a bit. The tough battles are yet to come, and we absolutely cannot let our guard down!"
Yan Xiaojiu nodded to Yan Shouyi and said, "Yes, I understand! If there's nothing else, I'll head out now!"
Yan Shouyi said to Yan Xiaojiu, "Alright, you've worked hard. Go out and train hard now!"
Yan Shouyi's side not only frequently faced attacks from small groups, but also constantly drilled his soldiers to prepare for a powerful enemy, keeping him extremely busy.
Meanwhile, Xu Bo'an in reality was quite relaxed.
It was already evening. After having dinner, Xu Bo'an took Chen Shishi out of the fish tank ecosystem so that she could learn about real-world characters and agricultural knowledge.
After Chen Shishi finished learning, she would use her exquisite tea ceremony skills to pour several cups of tea for Xu Bo'an, and then entertain him by dancing or playing the zither.
Lately, whenever Xu Bo'an has free time in the evenings, he takes Chen Shishi out of the fish tank ecosystem so that he can enjoy some leisure time after studying. With a beautiful and talented woman like Chen Shishi by his side, Xu Bo'an's life is as carefree and blissful as that of an immortal!
The next morning, Xu Bo'an was sleeping soundly when the phone rang. Still half asleep, Xu Bo'an fumbled for his phone on the bedside table, glanced at the caller ID on the screen—it was his cousin, Li Ruiming—and then answered the phone.
Then, a joyful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Bo'an, my wish has finally come true! The girl I've had a crush on for so long has agreed to be with me!" Li Ruiming's excited voice completely snapped Xu Bo'an out of his daze. Xu Bo'an said to Li Ruiming on the other end of the phone, "That's great news! I wish you happiness!"
Li Ruiming on the other end of the phone said, "Thanks, cousin, but my girlfriend said she'd like to invite you to lunch today. Are you free?"
Xu Bo'an thought about it and realized he didn't have anything planned for the day. He also remembered that his cousin Li Ruiming had told him how much he valued his girlfriend and that she wanted to invite him to dinner. No matter how busy he was, he couldn't refuse his cousin's offer.
Xu Bo'an then said to Li Ruiming, "Of course I have time for something so exciting!"
After hearing Xu Bo'an's agreement, Li Ruiming was very happy and said to Xu Bo'an on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll send you the address after my girlfriend makes the reservation!"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.
Xu Bo'an got up, tidied up briefly, and after breakfast, focused his attention on the bonsai world. The little people had been learning agricultural techniques for some time, and Xu Bo'an wanted to see how they were doing.
If the children have learned enough, Xu Bo'an can then assign them the next task.
Xu Bo'an focused his attention on the area above the Bonsai World Village, intending to check on the progress of the little people's studies at their usual place. However, when he arrived, he found the place deserted.
Xu Bo'an was very puzzled. Usually at this time, the little people would be here learning about agriculture. What was going on today?
With his mind full of questions, Xu Bo'an raised his gaze to a certain height, looking down at the entire Kaoshan Village in search of the little people. Before long, he found a large number of little people gathered on a field ridge in the mountains.
Xu Bo'an curiously drew his gaze closer and listened carefully for a while before realizing that these little people had already begun to build a "greenhouse" similar to the ones we live in today.
Goodness, these little people are quite quick! Unlike some people in real life, who are like beetles, only moving when touched and completely lacking initiative.
The little people in the bonsai world, judging from the current situation, can always complete the tasks I assign them in advance and actively put them into practice. I never have to waste too much energy on them. They are definitely action-oriented people.
With such initiative from the little people, Xu Bo'an had a much easier time.
Xu Bo'an saw the children on a piece of land that had been turned over in advance. The men were fixing bamboo or wood around the soil, while the women were busy making sturdy ropes to secure the bamboo poles. The older children were helping the adults fetch sticks, and the younger children were helping the adults with simple tasks of passing things around. Li Qingjiang was directing everyone from time to time.
A group of people were gathered together, busy and having a great time. (End of Chapter)
