Chapter 63 My heart leaped with joy.
"Furthermore, it chopped the two earthworm monsters into pieces, leaving not even a trace."
"Peach Blossom is truly amazing!"
The villagers were all amazed.
Zhao Shenglin looked at Zhao Taohua with a face full of horror. She actually summoned thunder from the sky?
Zhao Taohua looked at the flat ground in front of her that had been struck by lightning and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the spiritual energy was replenished in time, otherwise they would have escaped.
However, I didn't expect Shen Ming to have the effect of scaring them~
"Peach Blossom, is that earthworm monster dead?"
Seeing that it seemed safe, the villagers all ran over.
Shen Ming glanced down at his hand, which was still being held by Zhao Taohua, and quickly pulled it away.
When Zhao Taohua noticed his movements and was about to look at him, Qian Shi had already run up to her.
She looked Zhao Taohua up and down and asked, "Taohua, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Mother, I'm fine!" Seeing how worried Qian was about her, Zhao Taohua felt a warmth in her heart. "Just now, Brother Shenming was with me. It was his evil aura and merit that intimidated those two earthworm monsters, which gave me the opportunity to get rid of them."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Shen Ming, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They knew before that Shen Ming had a malevolent aura; his parents, grandparents, and other relatives had all been killed by it.
Grandma Shen Ming once consulted an old Taoist priest who said that he was surrounded by evil spirits and that no one should get close to him, otherwise, he would suffer bad luck or even lose his life. As a result, he is now the only one left in his family.
Later, everyone kept their distance from him, afraid of bad luck and death.
"Peach Blossom, does Shen Ming still have merit on him?" someone asked.
Everyone understands that merit is something that comes from doing good deeds; it's a good thing.
Zhao Taohua nodded and explained, "That old Taoist priest has some skill, but it's not very deep. He couldn't see the intense golden light of merit emanating from Brother Shen Ming."
Evil energy can harm people, but it can also save them. Today, it was this evil energy and good deeds that subdued the earthworm monster.
"From now on, don't be afraid when you see Brother Shen Ming. I'll draw a shielding talisman for him. Once he wears it, his evil aura won't affect you."
Zhao Taohua painted as soon as she was told to, and after it dried, she folded it into a triangle and handed it to Shen Ming.
"Brother Shenming, this is for you."
Shen Ming stared at the shielding talisman in her hand, and the image of Zhao Taohua giving a peace talisman to Zhao Shengan flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
He asked casually, "Was this shielding charm sold to me, or given to me as a gift?"
"Of course it's for you. If it weren't for your help today, I would have been in big trouble."
Zhao Taohua grabbed his hand and shoved it into his hand without saying a word.
A hint of a smile flashed in Zhao Taohua's eyes. He had just seen everyone arrive and hurriedly pulled his hand away from hers.
Now, in front of everyone, she took his hand again, taking the opportunity to absorb some spiritual energy.
When Shen Ming heard that she said it was a gift for him, his heart leaped with joy, but he didn't show it on his face.
He held the shielding talisman tightly in his hand, as if it were a precious treasure, and then carefully put it into his pocket.
When everyone heard Zhao Taohua say that they would not be affected by Shen Ming's murderous aura when they interacted with him in the future, their gazes towards Shen Ming became more friendly.
Someone said, "Actually, Shen Ming is a good kid. Before, when I came back from the village, I had bought too many things and couldn't carry them all. He helped me carry them back."
“A couple of days ago, I went up the mountain to chop firewood and was not paying attention. I was almost hit by a tree trunk. He helped me push the trunk away, and that's how I avoided an accident.”
"Last year, my grandson fell into the river while playing, and Shen Ming jumped in to save him."
In a short while, everyone talked about the good deeds Shen Ming had done in the past. However, everyone used to be afraid of the evil aura on him, so they all kept their distance from him.
When Shen Ming heard everyone's praise, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Unexpectedly, a simple censorship symbol and a single sentence from her changed everyone's opinion of her.
Shen Ming looked up at Zhao Taohua, his eyes filled with gratitude and emotion.
The village chief glanced at the deep crater that had just been struck by lightning and asked:
"Peach Blossom, the earthworm monster is dead. Can we still find our Great Liang?"
"That's right, Peach Blossom, where is our Great Liang?"
The main beams of every household were bought with money, and if they couldn't be found, they would have to spend money again.
"can."
As soon as the words were spoken, a large mound suddenly rose from the bamboo forest behind them, looking as if some monster was about to emerge from it.
Everyone backed away in fear, but Zhao Taohua stepped forward and explained the mound to them:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The earthworm monster hid them underground before, but now that it no longer has the support of its cultivation, they have all come out of the ground."
The next moment, a large beam emerged from the earthen slope.
Everyone was overjoyed: "It really is our Da Liang!"
Everyone rushed forward and dug out the main beams, carrying them home.
If we can find the beam, we'll save ourselves from wasting money again.
"Peach Blossom, thank you so much for helping us find Daliang," the village chief said gratefully.
If the earthworm monster hadn't died, he worried that even if everyone bought a new one, the earthworm monster might still come and steal it, and when would the new house ever be finished?
Zhao Taohua smiled and nodded, glancing at the villagers around her who were digging up their own house's main beam, and called out:
"Grandpa Village Chief, the heavy snow is coming soon. Please tell everyone to hurry up and finish building the houses."
The villagers all gathered around and responded enthusiastically, and everyone quickly carried the beam home.
It takes three people to carry one beam, but Shen Ming can carry two beams home by himself, which amazes everyone in the village.
"Shen Ming is such a strong kid!"
On the same day, the main beams of five households were steadily erected and placed in place, and the craftsmen quickly secured them with wooden wedges.
The blue tiles were passed up in an orderly fashion, starting from the ridge. Each tile was gently placed on the rafters and then adjusted to ensure they were neat and tightly packed.
Five days later, everyone finished raising the roof beams, and from a distance, the entire Zhao Family Village was filled with rows and rows of neat houses with blue bricks and tiles.
Looking at their newly renovated houses, everyone was filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that in just a few months, they would be able to live in brick and tile houses?
The village chief smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the new look of the village.
Zhao Family Village's rise to prosperity has been rapid. Who would have thought that just a few months ago, Zhao Family Village was still a poor village?
The village chief was grateful to Zhao Taohua, because she led the whole village to prosperity and made money for everyone.
Now, everyone can earn money in the village without having to go to town to work hard and be separated from their families.
It seems we'll have to consult with Peach Blossom about the village's future development; perhaps she can help us come up with a new way out.
Just then, a snowflake fell from the sky, and then the snowflakes began to fall in a flurry.
