The Celestial Race of Destiny: Starting with Farming and Fish Raising

Chapter 32 Mei Dong and Mei Zhiyu

"I only injured this one person in this incident as a warning."

"Besides, my family is short of servants and guards, which is an opportunity for you."

"If you are selected, and any of your descendants have spiritual root resources, our Su family will provide them with cultivation techniques and the resources they need for cultivation."

"Of course, our Su family doesn't accept just anyone; we'd rather have none than accept the wrong kind."

"I've remembered those people who tried to take my packhorse. You'd better get out of my sight right now, or I might cripple you wicked bastards if I get angry." Su Qingyan glanced around at the villagers of Plum Blossom Village again, his eyes filled with undisguised malice.

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight villagers, feeling guilty, ran back into the village without looking back and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

There were one or two more people than Su Qingyan remembered.

The remaining villagers of Plum Blossom Village all wore expressions of joy, filled with anticipation for the opportunity Su Qingyan had mentioned.

Whether one's own descendants can cultivate immortality is another matter.

Take the matter of "working" for cultivators as an example. It is extremely rare for ordinary people outside the family to have such an opportunity.

Once you become a servant or guard in a cultivator's household, you automatically become the cultivator's protector, as do your family and descendants. From then on, you will never have to worry about natural disasters or man-made calamities, and the possibility of going hungry will simply disappear.

Their status was also much higher than that of ordinary people who stayed in the village to farm.

As long as the cultivator he serves doesn't die, his descendants might be able to inherit his job and get a real secure job.

Thinking about all this, how could the ordinary villagers of Plum Blossom Village not be excited?

A strong young man carrying a bow and arrows pushed through the crowd and rushed to Su Qingyan, excitedly volunteering, "My lord, I am a hunter from Plum Blossom Village. I am strong and have a very accurate arrow. If you need me to guard your home, I am absolutely capable!"

Looking at the well-defined muscles on the young man's arms, Su Qingyan nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Very good. What's your name?"

"Mei Dong, Immortal Master, my name is Mei Dong, Dong as in winter." The young, burly man was very excited. After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and spoke again, pleadingly, "Immortal Master, may I bring one more person to work with you?"

As she spoke, Mei Dong shifted her body slightly to the side, revealing a timid little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, bearing a five or six-point resemblance to Mei Dong. She had fair skin and natural features, and could be considered a pretty girl in the surrounding villages.

Seeing that Su Qingyan did not immediately refuse him or show any anger, Mei Dong mustered up her courage and continued, "My parents and other siblings were all killed by demonic cultivators. Now, only this younger sister and I depend on each other for survival. I really can't bear to leave her."

"My Lord, I am very hardworking. I can do two jobs at once without any problem."

"We only ask that the Immortal Lord take us in."

Mei Dong stared intently at Su Qingyan's expression, her eyes filled with apprehension.

Only when he saw a smile on Su Qingyan's face did he feel a little relieved.

Su Qingyan looked at Mei Dong with admiration and said, "Mei Dong, prey hibernate in winter and come out less often, so hunting is not easy. Mei Dong doesn't have the winter in her name, but it's a good name."

"He found a way out for himself and even risked angering me to bring his own sister along. He's a loyal and righteous man, a real gentleman."

"By the way, what's your sister's name?"

"Mei Zhiyu, Zhi as in knowledgeable and reasonable, and Yu as in spring rain like silk," Mei Dong replied.

Hearing this, Su Qingyan was almost certain that Mei Dong and his family were educated, which was a pleasant surprise. He then asked, "Can your sister read?"

Mei Dong nodded quickly and replied, "My family has been relatively well-off since my grandfather's generation. My father and my siblings and I all went to school. My sister is even better at reading and learning than I am."

"I'll take you two siblings. Stand behind me." Su Qingyan made the decision with a smile. Mei Dong was overjoyed, her face beaming with happiness. She pulled her younger sister, Mei Zhiyu, and ran to Su Qingyan's side.

Mei Zhiyu was timid and hesitant, a little afraid of Little Gray Gray next to her.

Mei Dong quickly noticed this and stepped back slightly, standing between her sister and Little Grey.

Su Qingyan also noticed this detail, and he was very happy that his family was able to recruit such a kind and righteous young man.

As for his sister, Mei Zhiyu, she can't be considered a burden.

She's not young, and she can read, so she can help Granny Zhang take care of Xiao Yuanxian.

In a few years, I can take Xiao Yuanxian out to play, and he can read and learn to read, which is pretty good.

Seeing that Mei Dong and her brother had been successfully recruited by Su Qingyan, the rest of the villagers of Meihua Village were in high spirits.

They weren't fools; they knew that among cultivators there were good people and also cruel bad people.

Someone like Su Qingyan, who was willing to take in a "burden" like Mei Zhiyu, and who admired Mei Dong's kind and righteous character, and who only injured one person to establish his authority when the villagers tried to seize his packhorse, and verbally taught them a lesson, is probably a kind-hearted and good-natured cultivator.

With such a great opportunity, how could anyone not seize it!

"My lord, I am the blacksmith from Plum Blossom Village. I can make farm tools and weapons. My two sons are also very capable. They will have no problem helping you take good care of this packhorse."

"Sir, my daughter and I are tailors, and we can buy all the new clothes for you every year."

"My Lord Immortal, I'll warm your bed."

"I am very strong, Immortal Master, please accept me!"

"..."

Despite the influx of enthusiastic survivors from Plum Blossom Village, Su Qingyan did not lower his standards and continued to conduct rigorous selection.

The person should have a skill, not be too old, and most importantly, have good character and a good reputation in the village.

For each person selected, Su Qingyan would ask Mei Dong and his sister what kind of person they were in the village, and whether they had any criminal record.

This caused the other villagers to look at Mei Dong and her brother with extreme eagerness.

Having finally gained the opportunity to be valued by the Immortal Elder, Mei Dong and her brother dared not show favoritism and answered based on the actual situation in a serious manner.

In the end, Su Qingyan selected a total of thirteen suitable villagers.

"The rest of the villagers should find another way to make a living."

"It's getting late, we need to hurry home. Mei Dong, organize the new members, let's set off now."

"Little Grey, could you please fly up into the sky and scout ahead?" Su Qingyan quickly gave the order.

After so many things have happened, he is now eager to go home.

I wish I could teleport home right now.
