I have been farming since I crossed over.

On this day, the sun had not yet set, its afterglow still casting a shadow over the earth. Just then, a team of 64 people, like a flock of birds in an orderly fashion, quickly assembled on the spacious field used for morning exercises next to Yang Mingxi's home.

At that moment, Yang Mingxi's heart felt like a hopping rabbit, her nerves throbbing with anxiety. She stood quietly at the front of the group, her face, which should have been filled with confidence, now devoid of the composure and composure she had displayed the day before when she raised her glass. Even more so, the composure she had shown when she'd smiled and said, "We share honor and disgrace."

Lu Jintang, who stood aside and silently watched all this, was also in turmoil. He wanted to step forward several times to help Yang Mingxi stabilize the situation, but in the end, he relied on his strong self-control to forcefully suppress this impulse.

Yang Mingxi tried hard to calm her nervously pounding heart. She took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Finally, after some self-regulation, she slowly spoke, "Dear friends, hello! I'm Yang Mingxi. I want to express my sincere gratitude to each of you who have chosen to follow me. To be honest, I don't have any earth-shattering, grand wishes or ambitions. All I want is for us to support each other from now on, be honest with each other, and be as close as brothers. As long as I, Yang Mingxi, eat, I will never let you live on water."

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, she paused for a moment. Her gaze, like a gentle breeze, slowly swept across the faces of everyone present. This brief silence seemed to freeze time, making the atmosphere even more solemn.

Then, she spoke again, her tone steady and resolute, "I'm sure you all know me well. Changshan Village is our solid rear base. For me, I will prioritize its development. So, there's no need to worry about matters at home; you can arrange your return visits as you wish. But I must make one thing clear: I will not tolerate betrayal. Anyone who dares to betray me will be called dead in my eyes."

After he finished speaking, Yang Mingxi still had a faint smile on her face, but that smile did not reach her eyes, as if she could see through the secrets deep in the hearts of everyone present.

At this time, Zheng Huaimin stepped forward from the crowd. He was a tall and strong man, and he shouted in a loud voice like a bell: "I am willing to follow the girl until death. If I betray you, I will accept the death penalty!" His heroic attitude made people look at him sideways.

Then, the people behind him also shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the girl until death, live and die together, and share honor and disgrace!" The shouts resounded through the sky and echoed in the air for a long time, demonstrating everyone's determination and loyalty.

Yang Mingxi gazed at the crowd with a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of satisfaction and expectation. She said slowly, "Okay, very good. Next, let me carefully plan our main tasks for the next month or so. First, let's talk about the daily morning exercises. Starting tomorrow, Lu Jintang will be responsible for arranging the personnel to lead you in training. During this period, I hope that you can do your best to fully realize your greatest potential. You must know that every drop of sweat you shed now will save you a drop of blood in the future when you are really facing danger."

She paused briefly, then continued, "Secondly, every evening at 5 p.m., we'll begin classes here in this school promptly. The first step is to ensure everyone can read and write, achieving basic literacy. This way, they won't be easily deceived or trapped when carrying out various missions. Furthermore, knowing how to read will greatly facilitate the collection and transmission of intelligence. As for the daytime, everyone can rest up, recharge their batteries, and attend to their own chores. Don't worry, we'll gradually arrange for you to learn about related matters so that you can get started more quickly in the future."

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, she turned to look at Lu Jintang, who was standing beside her. Lu Jintang also had a smile on his face. He stepped forward and said loudly, "I believe what Miss Yang just said is now very clear to you! I wonder if there is anything that everyone present still does not fully understand?"

"no!"

"Okay, then let me say a few words. Everyone here, I believe you all know exactly what level you are at! As for how to exercise in the future, if you have any questions, you can come to my house and ask me. But there is not only morning exercise as a way, you can also exercise at other time periods. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely get very generous rewards in the future, there is no doubt about this, you can put your mind at ease." Lu Jintang continued slowly.

After Lu Jintang finished speaking, Yang Mingxi said with a smile, "That's it, let's put an end to what happened tonight. Everyone, go back home and find your mothers, and take the time to spend with your families. Then we have to really take action, after all, we will be away from home for a long time. Okay, let's disband!"

After everyone dispersed, Lu Jintang turned his head slightly to look at Yang Mingxi beside him and said softly: "What do you think of those people just now? Will they become your right-hand men in the future? Can they share the joys and sorrows, honors and disgraces with you?" There was a hint of concern and curiosity in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but smile slightly and responded, "I don't know why, but I have quite some confidence in them. After all, more than half of them are my closest blood relatives, and the rest are all fellow neighbors who grew up in the same village. We know each other very well. In this way, we will surely get along more harmoniously." After she finished speaking, a look of relief flashed in her eyes.

"That's true. People who know you well are naturally much easier to use. Besides these people, you have several guards and maids around you. They were all carefully selected from the people we bought. But because their requirements are relatively more stringent, they will probably have to wait until we get married before they can return. In addition, there are the boys in our family..." As Lu Jintang spoke, he reached out and patted Yang Mingxi's shoulder gently.

Hearing this, the smile on Yang Mingxi's face became even brighter, and she said softly: "Thank you so much for making so many thoughtful arrangements for me. In the future, we must support each other and be honest with each other." Her words were full of sincerity and gratitude.

When Lu Jintang heard this, he smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a place and see if you like it!" After that, he took Yang Mingxi's hand and walked quickly towards the place where Aunt Liu used to live.
