Journey to the West Tiger Demon, mortals urge me to ascend the throne

Chapter 22
It didn't take long.

Hu Dingyong and his party finally came to Lijia Village.

When I first entered Lijia Village, the scene I saw was similar to that of Zhangjia Village.

It's all a yellow paddy field.

The difference is that they saw a small ditch made of wood chips next to the rice field.

One of the subordinates subconsciously squatted down to check: "Brother Hu, come and see, what is this?"

Hu Dingyong and another subordinate also squatted down together.

All three were observing the ditch.

The small ditch is dry, and I don't know what it is for.

Then I looked around and found similar small ditches that almost surrounded every farmland.

Hu Dingyong shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand: "Go and see the situation first."

Several people got up and continued to walk forward, and then saw a scene completely different from Zhangjiacun.Zhangjia Village was empty and lifeless, like a ghost village.

On the Lijia Village side, just after entering the village entrance, it seemed to be in full swing.

The villagers seemed very busy.

Everyone has their own business to do.

Some were carrying tree stumps, some were carrying planks, some were driving domestic pigs, and some women passed by with stacks of clothes, talking and laughing.

In short, the whole village looks very vibrant and thriving.

It doesn't look like any disaster at all.

No, let alone a disaster, Hu Dingyong had never seen such a scene in his village even when the harvest was good.

Because although everyone is full of sweat, they are busy working hard.

But Hu Dingyong can still feel a sense of happiness from them.

Moreover, there seemed to be a little hope in everyone's eyes.

It seems that what they are doing can make their future days more hopeful.

Hu Dingyong is familiar with this look.

When the gang leader invited him to join the gang, that was the look in his eyes.The brothers in the gang also have this look.Because everyone believes that as long as they are willing to work hard and work silently, one day they will be able to overthrow this corrupt court.

However, as time went by, the gang members gradually realized the reality.

They gradually lost this look when they gradually realized that their enemy was not only the imperial court, but also the great powers behind them.

And the goal has gradually fallen from overthrowing the imperial court to the point where as long as it can protect the people of one side, it is already satisfied.

But now, how could this kind of look appear on the villagers of Lijia Village?

One of the subordinates said with incredible eyes, "Brother Hu, he... did they really encounter a monster?"

Hu Dingyong is not sure either.

Just ahead there was a young man who was maintaining order, and he planned to go over to ask about the situation.

……

In front of Hu Dingyong and the others.

Li Ergou is orderly directing the villagers to work.

"You fool, be careful, don't hurt yourself!"

"Hey, hey, there is a pig running away over there, don't let it run away~"

"Fourth uncle, isn't this a joke? There are a lot of older people, why are you here to join in the fun? Don't help, I don't need your help here!"

At this time, Hu Dingyong and the others had come behind Li Ergou.

Hu Dingyong patted Li Ergou on the shoulder: "Little brother, is this the Li Family Village?"

Li Ergou turned around, a little surprised.

There had been no strangers in the village for some time.

Why did some strangers suddenly come?
However, he didn't take it seriously, and said in a very spirited way: "That's right."

When Hu Dingyong saw Li Ergou's face, he was also surprised.

Because the young man in front of him is not only full of energy, but also has a little oil on his face.

This kind of complexion can only be found in rich people.

"This... I heard that there are monsters in Li Family Village? What's going on here... Could it be that the rumors are false?"

"No, there are indeed monsters in our village."

"That you……"

Seeing that the three were full of doubts, Li Ergou suddenly smiled and said, "Who says monsters must be bad?"

Hu Dingyong and the three looked at each other.

Some people don't understand why Li Ergou said this sentence.

Seeing this, Li Ergou turned sideways to let the three of them see the thriving face of the village, and then proudly introduced to the three of them: "Although the king is a monster, he, the second king, and the three kings have never Has hurt anyone in our village. On the contrary, the king and the others have helped us a lot."

As he spoke, Li Ergou pointed to the ditches that can be seen everywhere: "Look, the king taught us to do these. The king said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The king said that although he can call the wind and rain, but It is impossible for him to help us all his life. He also warned us that whether it is a man or a monster, only by ourselves can we survive for a long time.

So I taught us to build these ditches and build overturned cars.

He said that as long as our village has ditches and overturned cars, we won't have to worry about drought in the future. "

The heads of Hu Dingyong and the others were buzzing.

No, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?
what with what?
Another ditch, another overturned car, and a lot of articles, are all monsters so educated now?
Seeing the expressions of the three, Li Ergou knew what the three were thinking: "If you don't believe me, why don't you follow me into the village?"

The three of Hu Dingyong nodded subconsciously.

Then Li Ergou enthusiastically led the three of them into the village, and introduced as he walked, "Your Majesty often teaches us to see, learn, and think more. Many things may not be true when you see them, and may not be true when you hear them." .Before I met the king, I was the same as you all, thinking that as long as it is a monster, it must be bad."

Hu Dingyong couldn't help being moved when he heard Li Ergou's words.

He even muttered to himself: Seeing may not be true, but hearing may not be true?

Later, I heard Li Ergou continue to say: "But since I met the king, I know that my idea is wrong. Maybe other monsters are really heinous and do all kinds of evil. But I can be sure that the king is different! Look here..."

As he said that, Li Ergou pointed to the half-built pig house beside him.

"This is the pig shed that the king ordered us to build. He said that as long as we raise pigs according to his method, we will not be afraid of running out of meat in the future."

Walking and walking, several people came to the place where the fish soup was stewed.

A bonfire.

A cauldron hung over the campfire.

Beside the bonfire, a few women were gathering firewood, turning fans and so on.

There is a burst of umami in the air.

"These fish are also guarded by the king, so we can go to the deep mountains and old forests to catch them. Moreover, the king taught us how to fish. Even cooking, the king taught us how to get rid of the fishy smell. Everyone can eat enough recently , I slept warmly, all thanks to the king."
