It had to be said that Tian Cheng, who rarely spoke, could probably not even be said by those lecturers. In the end, every time he mentioned something about a critical moment, the old man would unconsciously stop his steps and call upon his Spiritual Sense, afraid that he would miss a single word. Along the way, the old man listened to his grandson's introductions. It was as if he was personally captivated by the old man. Every detail was captured, and his emotions violently fluctuated with the development of the situation.
"Gone?" When Tian Cheng talked about how Dao Ba brought him into the secret room and successfully killed him, he stopped. The old man became anxious and hurriedly asked. The most frightening thing about listening to a play was that the mystery had not been unraveled in the end.
"No, of course not. Grandpa, guess what's in those boxes? " Tian Cheng adjusted the old man's appetite and asked with a mysterious smile.
At this time, the old man looked around cautiously. After seeing that there was no one around, he moved closer to Tian Cheng's ears and whispered to him in a low voice, "You wouldn't tell Grandfather that it's full of gold coins, right?"
"Yes!" It's just gold coins, and it's a lot of gold coins! " Tian Cheng echoed the old man, and replied with a low and passionate voice.
The old man's current performance was similar to that of most of the audience in that world. Even though they had already guessed the result, they still couldn't help but become excited the moment the mystery was revealed. The old man wasn't a money grubber. His desire for money was close to zero. He wasn't happy about how much money he had, but was happy about how many things he had taken back from the thieves.
"Child, what are you going to do with the money? Grandpa knows you aren't a greedy person, but I still have to remind you that you better not expose the existence of this money. When helping the villagers, we also have to find a suitable excuse to take it out.
"Alright grandfather, I will do as you say. But you don't have to worry about that. Right now, you are already an expert of the Element Soil level, and I am definitely not weaker than a first level Element Soil. In front of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are useless. "
"However, it's better for us to keep a low profile. When we do things, we have to keep a high profile. I will let this village develop as soon as possible. It will also be the first step in the development of my career." When the old man asked this question, Tian Cheng had already thought of a solution. Not only would it help the villagers get out of their predicament, it would also allow him to start his long planned business plan.
At night, in a relatively large house not far from the concentration of villagers, Tian Cheng and the old man were busy preparing various types of herbs. He had used up most of the medicine he had concocted in the past, and many of the villagers were still seriously injured, so Tian Cheng had no choice but to work overnight to get them out as soon as possible. This larger house was built by the villagers. Although it was still rather simple and crude, it was still many times better than living here by themselves. Tian Cheng did not argue and gladly accepted it.
Right at this moment, the door sounded.
"Come in!" Tian Cheng casually said as he did not stop his work.
The one who walked in was the village chief Gurnett that was appointed by Tian Cheng, he held a few beast skin papers in his hand and bowed to the two of them and said: "Young Master Tian Cheng, Master Ryan, this is the investigation that I did today, all the information on the villagers is here." As he said that, he handed the information over to Tian Cheng.
"Oh!" Tian Cheng put down the work in his hands and accepted the beast skin paper. Sweeping through the paper, he revealed a satisfied smile.
Uncle Gurnett, I never thought that you would be so efficient. In less than a day, you have already investigated all the information of the villagers.
"Don't call me uncle Young Master Tian Cheng, just call me by my name. "Actually, you are too kind. I am familiar with most of the villagers, so it is fine as long as you just write it down on the front page. As for the outsiders, as long as you take some time, it is not hard to accomplish." Gurnett said humbly. Facing Tian Cheng's praise, he did not have the slightest intention of being complacent, and did not look like an ignorant villager who lived in a mountain.
Hearing Gurnett's words, Tian Cheng nodded his head and said: "Tomorrow morning, inform all the villagers. Let's have a meeting, I have something to say."
"Meeting?" A big question mark appeared above Gurnett's head.
"Oh!" The meeting is just to get everyone together and let me say a word. " Seeing Gurnett's doubtful expression, Tian Cheng hastily explained.
"Alright, I will do as you say."
Then, Gurnett will thank you for doing this. It's getting late, so you should go and rest early! After saying that, he continued with his work.
Gurnett watched Tian Cheng and his grandsons doing something strange and he did not retreat immediately. He stood to the side and watched for a while before he finally mustered up his courage to ask, "Young Master Tian Cheng, what are you guys doing?"
"We're making herbs, aren't some of the villagers' injuries serious? These are used to treat injuries." Towards these, Tian Cheng had nothing to hide, and directly replied.
Ah!" You mean, you used these to save those dozens of heavily injured villagers! " Gurnett asked again, surprised.
"That's right!" Don't underestimate these herbs. The effect is not bad. "
After hearing Tian Cheng's affirmative answer, Gurnett immediately knelt in front of Tian Cheng, and cried: "Young Master Tian Cheng, I, Gurnett, swear, I will only be loyal to you in this life. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it without hesitation. Let me repay you with my life! "
After being made a fool of by Gurnett, Tian Cheng and the old man were a little confused. They knew that this was medicine, so they were not that excited, right? Moreover, this world could not be sworn to so easily. There was always a rule binding the oath, and this was also the reason for the existence of the contract.
"Gurnett, get up first. What's going on? Tian Cheng quickly helped him up.
"Do you remember? You saved a woman with a child, and she was my wife. I had always thought that the pills for bringing people back to life had been given to me by a certain master, so I swore that if I met him, I would repay him with everything I had. I didn't believe that you were the ones who used medicine to cure them, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's time for me to fulfill my oath. "
Tian Cheng, who understood what was going on, quickly recalled the person who was saved, and his expression quickly became serious. With an apologetic tone, he said: "I'm sorry, I couldn't save your child."
"It doesn't matter. As long as there are people here, there will always be hope." Gurnett was actually more optimistic now. Perhaps this result was already the best for his entire family.
With Gurnett's help, the three of them spent most of the night to finish handling the herbs. Then, they walked into a small house and started to discuss something. Now that Gurnett had already sworn an oath, that meant that he was someone who could be trusted, Tian Cheng naturally would not hide anything from him.
"Gurnett, you should explain the current situation of the village." Tian Cheng who was seated at the head of the table spoke first.
"Our village used to have 493 people, but now there are only 322, with 54 survivors of heavy injuries. We now have 528 people in our village, 316 men and 212 women, most of whom are between the ages of 20 and 35, all of whom are older and some of whom are children. Fortunately, this accident did not cause many orphans, only our village's two twin brothers, the other children all have relatives. Most of the houses were burned down, most of the furniture was gone, and the supplies we brought back were only enough to live on for about a month. That is to say, within this month, we must get on the right track in our lives, otherwise our lives will only become more and more difficult later on. " Gurnett revealed all the information he knew and his own analysis in one go.
"One month? No, we have plenty of time. What the villagers lack the most right now is money, and what I do not lack the most is money. " Tian Cheng smiled confidently. The existence of the gold coins naturally did not need to hide it from Gurnett.
"I plan to spend my money to build new houses for the villagers. If I were to build a farm or pasture here in the future, I wouldn't need to make houses for the staff. I'm the only one who can do this kind of thing without having to make room in advance, but fortunately, the prices here aren't very high. "If I sell myself off according to Earth's price, I won't be able to afford it."
After that, the three of them discussed about the plans that Tian Cheng had come up with.
Tian Cheng also sat on the bed and started to cultivate the Beast Element Spell. Keep fighting for a better tomorrow.
