Yan Jinsu looked on and casually handed the golden sore dicine in her hand to Xie Jingqiang, the village head and cousin, and said with a light smile:
"Village head, this is the only bottle I have left. If everyone wants it, I can teach you how to make it! The herbs required for it are not difficult to find. We have them right here in Daqing Mountain, and even if we bought them, they wouldn’t be very expensive!
Of course, I suggest that the village sets up a task for everyone to gather herbs together. Afterwards, we can make the dicine so that all villagers can benefit."
Yan Jinsu spoke gently, and without making much of a fuss, yet her image in the villagers’ eyes suddenly grew more impressive!
Especially those few n who had run behind her last night, they all stood up, nodded with a slight bow to Yan Jinsu, and finally Xie Jingqiang, as their representative, took the word:
"Jingchen’s wife, thank you for your generosity, allowing everyone to benefit! Rest assured, we will definitely not leak the recipe!"
"No no, village head, there’s no need for that. Most of the herbs for the golden sore dicine can be gathered by the villagers, only the main ingredient needs to be provided by . It’s not that I want to keep it a secret, but that you would have a hard ti finding it. The main ingredient will be provided by , so even if you tell everyone the other ingredients, it would still be useless."
Yan Jinsu said, feeling a bit embarrassed, that the recipe was quite ordinary except for the last ingredient, which requires her Spirit Core Water to fully activate all the dicinal properties! Fearing any misunderstanding, she quickly added:
"The main ingredient is Dragon Saliva Root over ten years old [false]. Without it, one can still make ordinary golden sore dicine, but the efficacy would be greatly reduced, heh~"
"Indeed, good dicines always require a key ingredient!" Zhou Weihai understood, because what Yan Jinsu said was clearly true. Without superior main ingredients, how could the dicinal effects spread so quickly!
"Exactly."
"Jingchen’s wife is willing to share the recipe with us, we should be grateful. Besides, she ntioned that the main ingredient requires that grass over ten years old, which none of us have ever heard of, so don’t overthink it, everyone."
Xie Jingqiang trusted Yan Jinsu’s character, so seeing her sowhat embarrassed expression, he promptly affird.
"Everyone, there’s no need for such courtesy. I’m also a part of Qingfeng Village, and it’s my undeniable responsibility to contribute to everyone."
"Jingchen’s family is all about righteousness!" The elders in the back, after hearing this, also gave their thumbs up and praised.
"Alright, if everyone keeps praising like this, Jingchen’s wife might get scared off by you elders." Xie Jingqiang waved them off, gesturing for everyone to return to the office. Once everyone was seated, he then said to Yan Jinsu:
"Jingchen’s wife, we are all rural n, who have not been out to see the world. The strategic defense setup you proposed last night was quite baffling to us, could you elaborate a little more?"
"In fact, this is sothing everyone has heard of from old revolutionary tales, and probably has so impression of. Setting up defense is to define a point and, around this point, create defensive positions.
For example, walls, ditches, thorny barriers, and even simple traps like digging pits with spikes in them can all be part of the defenses.
Elders, no matter how fierce the Wild Wolf packs are, they can’t change one fact – they are beasts! Since they are beasts, they lack human intelligence. Only humans are intelligent! That’s why humans are the natural enemies of wolves!"
Yan Jinsu stood up and explained in the simplest terms to the people sitting around her.
"But our Qingfeng Village is too close to the bottom of the mountain, and the area of our village is not small; everywhere is adjacent to the mountain foot. If we really want to build walls, that would be too much work!" Zhou Weihai listened and thought about it. He had already considered all this. If they did as she said, there would be no rest all winter!
"Elders, establishing border defense is not just against wolf packs! We also have to overco the fear and trepidation in our hearts!"
Yan Jinsu looked at the village elders in silence for a while, and spoke frankly before she said anything else: "Honorable clan elders, village elders, perhaps what I’m about to say may seem offensive to you, but after deep consideration, I still want to speak out—"
After a bow, she sighed softly, using her spiritual power to set the mood, and slowly said:
"Nowadays, life has improved, and everyone feels that it’s too dangerous to go up the mountain. We can still get by, so we forbid children from going up the mountain for fear of injury or accidents—
Have you ever thought that this is sealing away their chance to develop courage?
Growing up in a greenhouse from a young age makes one’s character lack one of the most essential elents of humanity – the boldness needed for success!
Elders, you who are older, have lived through national disasters and natural disasters, and faced all kinds of perils. You beca sages and heroes, but you let your descendants grow up in a greenhouse, without that boldness, shrinking back at the slightest difficulty!
Is this really what you want?"
The air seed to stagnate.
Yan Jinsu gave a self-deprecating smile, "Our country has been founded because they had boldness and self-respect in their blood, and the Rong Team won because they dared to risk their lives in battle, dared to stand up and fight fearlessly!
For the greater good of the nation, for future generations, they were invincible!
Qingfeng Village had a mighty Wenwu Army ten years ago, a Civilian Army for the people five years ago; but what does Qingfeng Village have now?
What do we have now?
Difficulty is not a reason for us to cower! Facing challenges head-on is the essence of both the Xie and Zhou families’ ancestors!
Do you all really want your descendants to view the forests and mountains that nurture life as the Netherworld?"
"The country is progressing, the nation is striving forward, yet the future generations of our Qingfeng Village are stagnating! Why?" Yan Jinsu abruptly questioned, her tone rising:
"In our Qingfeng Village, the Xie Family represents culture, and the Zhou Family represents martial might. Our ancestors left us with so much good fortune and blessings here, why let them go to waste? Now, as the nation undergoes rapid reform and developnt, it needs talented individuals, needs great people who dare to act and think!
Although I am a woman, I don’t want these growing children to be confined to this land and eventually beco just another farr!
We can be bolder and take larger steps, guide our children correctly, let the eagerness to progress and the courage to face any danger be in their bones!"
"Well said!" *Clap. Clap. Clap.*
The clan elders of the Xie Family and the elder Boss of the Zhou Family, all over seventy years old, with their mories awakened by Yan Jinsu’s words, reflected on the hardships they had endured over the years. Suddenly looking back, they realized that they were indeed old, their guts shattered!
No woman had seen through to the truth as she had!
How truly embarrassing, how truly embarrassing—
