Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

"County Chief Qi will definitely help me, and then Wang Jianguo will be finished! Even if he's not imprisoned, he'll never see the sun again!"

Hearing Zhao Dazhu's words, Li Yujiao's gaze became distant, and a look of longing appeared on her face.

She had had enough of Wang Jianguo and hated that man to death.

She dreamed of escaping from Wang Jianguo's clutches.

Previously, she thought it was impossible to do this, after all, Wang Jianguo's power was too great, not only the village chief but also a group of lackeys who worked for him.

But now, she finally sees hope of escaping her misery!

And this hope was given to her by Zhao Dazhu!

As Li Yujiao thought about it, she threw herself into Zhao Dazhu's arms and hugged the old man tightly, saying, "Thank you... Dazhu, you're so good to me, you're simply my savior."

"I'm not your savior, I'm your man!"

Zhao Dazhu said emphatically, and before he finished speaking, he kissed Li Yujiao on the lips.

It was already afternoon.

Li Yujiao was cleaning, while Zhao Dazhu was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating.

He had two spirit stones in his pockets on both sides of his clothes, and he also held two spirit stones in his hands.

With the blessing of the spirit stone, Zhao Dazhu found that his cultivation efficiency had indeed improved a lot. Although there was still a considerable gap compared to that mysterious cave, the current effect was already very good!

Zhao Dazhu has also made a preliminary grasp of the spells of the first realm of the Azure Spirit Profound Life Technique.

This spell is called Spirit Gathering Technique, and it can be used to accelerate the growth of plants.

After a while, Zhao Dazhu came out of his meditation and excitedly ran to his farmland.

Thanks to the growth-promoting agent, the cherry tomatoes in the two acres of farmland are growing very well, but they are still a long way from ripening.

Zhao Dazhu concentrated his mind and circulated the Azure Spirit Profound Life True Qi within his body, then aimed his hands at the cherry tomato in front of him.

The next moment, a bright green halo shot out from Zhao Dazhu's palm and continuously penetrated into the interior of the cherry tomato plant.

So the cherry tomato plant stretched out its branches and leaves and began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing much taller in just half a minute!

"The effect is so good, this spell is simply..."

Zhao Dazhu was so excited that he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Then he used his spiritual energy technique on one cherry tomato plant after another to accelerate the growth of these crops.

After a busy afternoon, the cherry tomatoes in Zhao Dazhu's acre of farmland were just a step away from ripening. The bright red fruits looked incredibly appetizing.

But it's getting dark soon, so it seems I'll have to wait until tomorrow to use the Spirit Gathering Technique to stimulate the growth of the cherry tomatoes in the adjacent acre of farmland.

So Zhao Dazhu wiped his sweat and stood up.

But as soon as he straightened up, Zhao Dazhu felt a wave of dizziness, his steps faltered, and he even felt lightheaded.

After a while, he finally felt much better, but he was still weak all over and his legs were a little limp.

"Could it be that the cherry tomatoes that helped cultivate this acre of farmland consumed too much of their true energy, which is why they are so weak?"

Zhao Dazhu muttered to himself, a bitter smile on his face.

It seems that while the Spirit Gathering Technique is good, it cannot be used too frequently, otherwise the body will not be able to handle it!

Suddenly, a loudspeaker blared from the direction of the village committee.

"Attention, villagers! Attention, villagers! Everyone, assemble at the village committee immediately! There's an important announcement to make..."

"I'm telling you again, everyone, assemble at the village committee immediately..."

The villagers of Xinghua Village, grumbling and cursing, came out of the fields carrying hoes, and headed in groups of three or five towards the village committee.

Villagers from all households came out of their homes, muttering to themselves as they headed to the village committee to gather.

But Li Yujiao did not.

She is still "missing" and therefore cannot appear in front of anyone other than Zhao Dazhu.

Zhao Dazhu was a little worried about Li Yujiao, so he went home first.

"What is that son of a bitch up to now?"

Li Yujiao stood in the courtyard, cursing in the direction of the village committee, her face full of hatred.

The "son of a bitch" she was referring to was, of course, Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo is the village head, and he is the only one who can directly use the village committee's loudspeaker.

So the notification just now was Wang Jianguo's doing.

"Maybe it's about road construction," Zhao Dazhu said.

"I bet he's going to try and get money from the villagers again using some new tricks," Li Yujiao said angrily.

"I think so too... Yu Jiao, stay inside and don't let the villagers see you. I'm going to the village committee to see what's going on," Zhao Dazhu said.

After leaving home, Zhao Dazhu met Wang Caixia, a widow, and they went to the village committee together.

As the sun set and darkness fell, all the lights in the village committee courtyard were turned on.

Almost the entire village came here, and there wasn't enough room in the courtyard. Many villagers had to stand outside the village committee compound and on the road outside the wall.

"What is Wang Jianguo trying to do?"

"Damn it, will this ever end?!"

"This coward..."

The villagers at the scene were all muttering curses, which was enough to show how unpopular Wang Jianguo was.

If this were ancient times, these villagers would probably have already risen up in rebellion!

Hundreds of villagers waited there for half a day before Wang Jianguo finally swaggered out of the village committee office, followed by a large group of young men who looked like hooligans.

"Good evening, fellow villagers. I have called you here because I have something very important to announce to you."

"Our village will soon start paving cement roads. When that happens, all the roads in the village will be made of cement, so even if it rains, no one will have to walk in the mud."

"But the problem is that we still don't have enough money to pave the cement road in our village. I've calculated that each household will have to pay another two thousand yuan."

As soon as Wang Jianguo said this, the villagers present were immediately agitated.

"Wang Jianguo, you've already asked us for five thousand yuan. Other villages only get three thousand, and you still think five thousand isn't enough? Now you're asking us for more money! You're fucking heartless!"

"It's not easy for us to earn money!"

"Wang Jianguo, do you have any conscience?!"

"If it really comes to it, we won't fix the cement road; just give us our money back!"

One by one, the villagers shouted and even waved their fists.

Standing on the podium, Wang Jianguo snorted coldly and said without any politeness, "I have already transferred the road construction funds I raised to the construction team. There is no way I will refund them."

"You all have to pay this two thousand yuan. Anyone who doesn't pay and causes our village's cement road to be delayed will be a sinner against our village!"

Hearing this, Zhao Dazhu was so angry he laughed.

Wang Caixia was also furious, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to devour Wang Jianguo on the stage!
