Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

Chapter 89: Becoming King after Escaping Famine 8

"Dad, are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true." Ding Yi said earnestly, "Boss, you are the eldest son, and you will have a heavy burden in the future. I hope you don't blame your father."

It was a long time later that Chen Wang finally had a deep understanding of what his father, the hands-off shopkeeper, said.

He was almost exhausted to death, but the good thing was that his position was always stable, and no one dared to oppose the orders he gave and the strategies he promulgated.

The next morning, Chenjiacun pushed large bags of grain back. Even though they had been walking for so many days, they were actually only about two hundred miles away from Wangyi County.

Chen Liang walked in front, followed by dozens of young men behind him, each holding a weapon, staring at anyone who wanted to come forward.

"The immortal has mercy on us. Lord Chen has pity on us. He will distribute food and water to us at the Wangyi County Office. Those who believe in me, please follow me back to Wangyi County to meet Lord Chen."

Ding Yi heard something wrong. He knew that he was an immortal because he was the one who made it up. Who was Chen Hou? Who dared to pull out the beard from a tiger's mouth?

"Who is Lord Chen?" Ding Yi was displeased and angry.

Chen Wang feels that he has a long way to go and a heavy responsibility. Aren't you the Lord of Chen? How can you convince others if you don't find a nice name? You can't just say you are Chen Laosan, that would be too cheap.

"Dad, from today on, you are Lord Chen, and Lord Chen is you."

"..." Unknowingly, the peasant was promoted. Ding Yi wanted to laugh, but when he saw so many people around him, he put away his silly smile, straightened his head and chest, and did not look around.

Banhua walked to his side, and Ding Yi told it not to run around. What if it ran to someone else and mistook Chen Hou for him?

Chen Wang felt that this was his father. Although he had obtained the fate of becoming an immortal, his silly temperament remained unchanged. Why was it not him, Chen Wang, who was favored by the immortal? Could it be that fools have good fortune?

……

Chen Liang walked and shouted as he went. When he met people fleeing famine, he stopped to greet them and showed them the food in his car.

The snow-white rice was exposed under the scorching sun, and a group of hungry and thirsty people stared at it with greedy eyes.

"It's food, grab it!"

"Ouch——"

Banhua leaped into the air and knocked the people who were trying to steal food to the ground in an instant. He glanced at the group of ragged victims with his tiger eyes and let out a deafening roar, looking so majestic.

Ding Yi was very pleased. He walked past the crowd and came to the front. The man and the tiger cooperated well and knew what the other wanted to do with just one glance.

Taking a step forward, it was Ding Yi who started talking.

"My fellow countrymen, the royal family is unjust and the whole world is in turmoil. We have no place to stand outside Wangyi County. Under the guidance of the immortals, I cannot bear the suffering of the people, so I opened the granaries in Wangyi County to release grain and water. If you need it, you can go to the county government office to take a look. I am not lying."

After saying that, Ding Yi put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Banhua was lying at his feet, looking unfathomable and extremely mysterious.

Suddenly, the group of people who were stealing food believed it a little bit.

Chen Wang and Chen Liang stood up and shouted, "Fellow villagers, do you know what's going on outside? There are wars everywhere, the princes are fighting each other, and the people outside are also living a life worse than death. War and banditry are rampant. Why don't you join Lord Chen? Lord Chen is not short of food. Even if it doesn't rain, Lord Chen will make it rain. Lord Chen's ability is far beyond that of mortals like us. Why don't you return to Wangyi County to make a personal assessment? Those who follow Lord Chen will each be given a pound of food and a pot of water."

A pound of grain and a pot of water were more attractive than people could imagine when they were out of ammunition and food. With Chen Laosan's memory as a prelude, it was the first time that Ding Yi saw someone risking his life for a little food.

I want to cry, but I can’t. I have to maintain my image.

The journey back was smooth. With food and water as attractions and spotted flowers as ferocious beasts to show their strength, Chen Liang fulfilled his boast that at least 90% of the people followed them back to Wangyi County.

When they returned to Wangyi County, it was noon, and Ding Yi ordered people to light a fire and cook. The rich aroma of meat filled the entire county and drifted outward. People who had not yet fled the famine and those who had fled by different routes all rushed to Wangyi County.

There is Lin Hou in Wangyi County, and Lin Hou will lead them to live a good life.

If you can live a good life, you must keep it.

Ding Yi made full use of his eldest son Chen Wang. He handed over most of the matters to Chen Wang and stuffed a lot of knowledge into Chen Wang's brain, swallowing it whole without hesitation.

Fortunately, Chen Wang is a smart man and knows a lot of words from his mother. Otherwise, he really would not be able to digest what Ding Yi did. Didn’t he see that Chen Liang was about to collapse?

"Dad, are you leaving?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Well," Chen Wang organized his words and tried to speak in a calm tone, "I thought that Dad was so anxious because the Grandmaster was calling him, so he wanted to pass on all his skills to his son as soon as possible."

Dad had to stroke the needle, so Chen Wang tried to be as tactful as possible.

"You little rascal, you are cursing your father." After slapping him, Chen Wang grinned and lamented that his father was still as good as ever and still had a lot of strength. No wonder the immortal master took a fancy to him.

Ding Yi was furious. Chen Wang had more things to do. He originally wanted to develop slowly, but forget it. Chen Wang felt that he was going to meet his ancestors, so he had to speed up his pace. He would be old before he could accomplish his great cause.

"You little brat, there are still not enough things to do. This gives you time to think about random things."

Ding Yi had no guilt at all for enslaving his eldest son. He was unmarried and had children and grandchildren, so why did he have to do it himself?

Yaoyao once commented: "With your lazy nature, it's really not easy for you to live this long."

Ding Yi believes that when life is short, one should enjoy it if he can, and work harder if he cannot, so that he can enjoy life after he has finished his work.

For this, someone was scolded a lot.

……

A few days after returning to Wangyi County, Ding Yi observed a huge cloud and rain floating in the sky. He did not have time to organize people to appreciate his feat, but still took a flight from the county government office to the top of the highest city wall, set up the artillery platform, and fired a few cannons into the sky. Under the huge sound of cannons, many houses in Wangyi County collapsed. People ran out and saw Ding Yi standing in the air and felt the raindrops hitting their faces.

"Long live Lord Lin."

With a loud crash, countless people below knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the Buddha".

This wave of pens is worth it.

Ding Yi stood quietly in mid-air, wearing a lightning rod on his head, and looked at the situation below with satisfaction. Even if there are no conditions, we must create them to let them know the greatness of Lin Hou.

"No need to be polite. You are all the people under my rule. If you work hard, I will have enough food and clothing."

The four words "adequate food and clothing" have been very attractive to the people of all dynasties. Look at the mountain-like cheers below and the tears overflowing from the eyes mixing with the rain.

How do you know if it is rain or tears? I don’t know, but it is the rekindled hope for life.

After installing enough, Ding Yi left in the pouring rain. The lightning rod on his head didn't work and it hurt a lot.
