Chapter Fifty-Seven
After his parents had left, Long Xiaoshan ran to the doghouse to check on it and discovered that several of the puppies were already able to stand and walk.
This made him realize that the Spiritual Liquid indeed had a catalytic effect, in just a few hours, the puppies, whose eyes hadn't even fully opened yet, were able to get up and walk.
He fed them some more milk.
Long Xiaoshan walked out and sat on a stone at the doorstep to cultivate.
The sky gradually darkened.
Long Xiaoshan heard a noise and quickly stood up.
After a while, he saw a figure approaching along the ridge of the field, walking cautiously while looking around.
"Chun Tao!"
Long Xiaoshan quietly walked up behind her and called out.
The person was startled, patted their chest, and turned their head, saying, "You scared me to death."
"Well, only if you act like a thief," Long Xiaoshan teased.
"I'm not acting like any thief," Chun Tao slapped Long Xiaoshan lightly, her cheeks flushing.
"Why aren't you wearing the clothes I bought for you?" Long Xiaoshan asked, noting that Chun Tao was dressed in some old clothes again.
"They're too flashy, people in the village will gossip about it."
Long Xiaoshan said, "What of the gossip? Don't care what others say, being happy yourself is what's most important. Don't wear these old clothes anymore."
"Alright, alright, I'll go cook for you," Chun Tao ran into the kitchen.
Long Xiaoshan shook his head, knowing that changing a person's mindset was not something that could happen in an instant.
Long Xiaoshan hadn't eaten much for dinner, waiting for Chun Tao to come cook specifically for him, with different ingredients too. What Long Xiaoshan ate were vegetables from the farm, provided for the whole village, which surely weren't these vegetables, as the cost was too high, being sourced from the villagers and purchased from outside.
Before long, Chun Tao prepared a bowl of crucian carp soup and two bowls of vegetables.
"Eat with me, try the fish I've raised," Long Xiaoshan pulled Chun Tao to sit down with him and served her a bowl of the fish soup.
Encouraged by Long Xiaoshan, Chun Tao took a sip and an expression of enjoyment immediately appeared on her face.
"It's so delicious, I've never tasted anything so fresh."
"If you like it, eat more. From now on, don't eat the communal meals, cook dinner for me and we'll eat together," he said.
As the two of them chatted, they finished their meal. Chun Tao then washed the dishes and stepped outside, where the moon had risen, surrounded by a gentle mountain breeze, it was very quiet.
The two who had just been talking, suddenly fell silent, their hearts beating so loudly they could be heard.
...
Getting up, he saw Chun Tao out.
"Chun Tao, don't be scared, whoever dares to gossip, I'll fire them from the farm," Long Xiaoshan reassured her.
Chun Tao rolled her eyes at Long Xiaoshan, "As if you're so tough, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Chun Tao hurriedly walked towards the village.
Long Xiaoshan watched her enter the village, but he wasn't the least bit sleepy. He felt energetic and even his True Qi was exceptionally active, as if it had risen to a new level.
He ran into the room.
Even though it was July or August, the nights were still stifling hot.
Unable to cultivate and with nothing else to do, Long Xiaoshan took out his phone and began to delve into the matter of exorcism.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Couple Long Dashan came over with breakfast.
Long Xiaoshan ate a little, and around seven or eight o'clock, the villagers began to trickle in.
The farm gradually became lively.
In fact, the farm had already started to get on track, the land had been cleared, and ponds had been dug. There really wasn't a need for so many people, which Long Dashan had mentioned more than once.
Nevertheless, Long Xiaoshan continued to hire them.
One reason was as a good deed, to help the villagers.
The second reason was, if he didn't employ them, many would certainly go to work for Long Fakui, and right now he was determined to compete with Long Fakui, so he would rather spend the money and suppress his competition.
After all, he had substantial funds and didn't need to stoop to base means. A direct suppression would be enough to hinder the development of Long Fakui's factory.
The village's leadership elections were next month.
Long Xiaoshan was clear in his mind that he had to thoroughly defeat Long Fakui and drive him out of the village chief's position.
