In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 137 Wan Yao Yao was very polite

"I don't have any problem."

For Li Zheng, teaching was definitely easier than farm work, so he had no reason to refuse, except...

Li Zheng thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Brother Dao, the cost of sending the children in the village to school is not small. Are you sure you want to do this?"

These days, providing education for children is no easy task; the cost of writing materials is considerable, and Li Zheng was somewhat worried about whether Chen Dao could afford it.

"Don't worry about that!"

Chen Dao said dismissively, "Mr. Li can go back and tidy up the school now. We'll officially start teaching the children in three days!"

"I understand!"

Although Li Zheng still had some doubts, he nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, across from the farmland of Chenjia Village, Li Qiang and Li Mu stood on the edge of the fields of Xiahe Village, looking at the busy villagers of Chenjia Village in the distance with shocked expressions!

Although they were quite far away, Li Qiang and Li Mu both had excellent eyesight and could vaguely see the green shoots emerging from the field. They knew exactly what this meant.

"They actually managed to grow crops in Chenjia Village?"

Li Mu said incredulously, "The weather is so cold now that no grain can be grown in the entire Qingzhou region. This is a fact that all the people of Qingzhou agree on. But at this time, Chenjia Village has planted grain, and it has successfully sprouted..."

How could Li Mu not be shocked?

He even went so far as to speculate that the villagers of Chenjia Village might have encountered immortals and obtained celestial food from them that could grow even in the coldest weather, otherwise it would be difficult to explain what they were seeing.

"This is absolutely bullshit!"

Li Mu was shocked, and so was Li Qiang.

He had previously ridiculed the villagers of Chenjia Village, thinking they were daydreaming about growing crops in this kind of weather.

Who would have thought that the Joker was himself!

The villagers of Chenjia Village weren't just daydreaming; they actually managed to grow crops in the frigid weather.

"father!"

Li Mu suddenly turned to look at Li Qiang, his gaze burning: "If grain can be grown on the land in Chenjia Village, can't our village's land do the same?"

The land of Chenjia Village is connected to that of Xiahe Village, and the soil is the same. Since Chenjia Village can grow grain, there is no reason why Xiahe Village's land cannot!

If we can get grain seeds from Chenjia Village, then... Xiahe Village can also grow grain and no longer go hungry!

"Let's go find Chen He and ask him!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Qiang led Li Mu through the farmland, intending to search for Chen He.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Just then, two huge dogs appeared in front of the two of them, looking at them warily, lowering their bodies slightly, baring their teeth, and assuming an attack posture.

The two large dogs that stopped them were naturally Da Huang and Er Huang, who had just been released by Chen Dao. For dogs, they recognize people mainly by scent, and secondly by their eyes.

Because the scent of the wheat has been memorized by Dahuang and Erhuang, the villagers of Chenjia Village will not be attacked as long as they do not steal wheat or destroy wheat fields.

Li Qiang and Li Mu, due to the unfamiliar smell, were naturally blocked by Da Huang and Er Huang.

"What a big dog!"

Li Mu stared wide-eyed at the two dogs in front of him, wondering if he was seeing things, because these two dogs were so big that they didn't look like dogs at all, but more like some kind of ferocious beast.

Even when they are on all fours, Da Huang and Er Huang are over 80 centimeters tall, and when they bar their teeth, you can see their long fangs, which looks quite frightening.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Big Yellow and Little Yellow made warning noises, signaling the two to leave.

However, Li Mu and Li Qiang clearly did not understand what they meant, so they walked around Da Huang and Er Huang.

Upon seeing this, Da Huang and Er Huang became enraged and immediately prepared to launch an attack.

"Wait!"

Just then, Chen He, noticing the commotion, rushed over and stopped Da Huang and Er Huang, shouting, "Da Huang, Er Huang, don't do anything!"

When Chen Dao left, he had specifically explained the situation of Da Huang and Er Huang to Chen He. Therefore, Chen He knew the duties of Da Huang and Er Huang. When he saw Da Huang and Er Huang blocking Li Qiang and Li Mu, he rushed over to stop them. Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise Li Qiang and Er Huang would have been seriously injured if not killed.

"Village Chief Chen, you've arrived."

Li Qiang, who had narrowly escaped being attacked by Da Huang and Er Huang, breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't taken the two dogs seriously until they launched their attack, at which point he truly felt their pressure. At that moment, Li Qiang almost thought he was going to die, but fortunately, Chen He arrived in time and stopped the two dogs that were about to attack him.

"Village Chief Chen, why are you still keeping such fierce dogs in your village?"

Li Mu, still shaken, asked, "The moment Da Huang and Er Huang launched their attack, their aura was truly terrifying. Even I, a strong young man, felt a strong sense of oppression."

"This isn't our village dog; it belongs to Daoge'er."

Chen He said, "If you see this dog in the future, you must be very polite to it, otherwise you'll die for nothing if it bites you to death!"

"Is it that powerful?"

Li Mu asked somewhat unconvinced. Although he had been frightened, he was still somewhat unconvinced. He felt that the two dogs were unsportsmanlike and had launched a sneak attack, which was why he was frightened. If he had been prepared, he would not have been afraid of the two dogs at all!

"Don't disbelieve it!"

Chen He shook his head and said, "The animals that Dao Ge'er raises are not ordinary animals; they can really kill people! You know how often the bandits appear along the official road from our village to the county town, right?"

"Know!"

Li Qiang and his companion nodded. The so-called "forest bandits" referred to a specific group of thieves who hid along the official roads and made a living by robbing caravans and passersby. These thieves might not be very strong in combat, but they could always rely on their numerical advantage to plunder the wealth of merchants and passersby, making them extremely despised.

"When Daoge and the others came back from the county town a while ago, they encountered a group of bandits. Guess what happened next?"

Chen He asked mysteriously.

Li Qiang and Li Mu exchanged a glance. Judging from Chen Dao's still-alive state, he must have escaped unscathed. But how did he manage to escape unscathed?

Although those bandits were not strong in combat, they were still numerous and powerful, and had weapons. They were not easy to deal with. Chen Dao was just a half-grown boy. How could he escape unscathed from the bandits' encirclement?

"Did Daoge'er pay the Lin bandits money?"

Li Mu asked curiously.

He had heard that some bandits would not kill all travelers and merchants, but would release them after taking some money. Since Chen Dao was not short of money, Li Mu guessed that Chen Dao had most likely paid money to the bandits in order to escape unscathed.
