"Consider it a small contribution to help the people," he said, and I promise you.
"What? You agree?"
Zhao An was ready to argue further, thinking that his psychological price was actually one statue in exchange for twenty stones of grain. However, he did not expect Zhu Ji to be so magnanimous.
He directly agreed.
Xiahou Xing also noticed Zhao An's predicament and immediately added, "Our Xiahou Family can accept one statue in exchange for Bai Shi grain."
Zhao An's joy was evident as he quickly cupped his hands in gratitude. "I sincerely admire the generosity of Chu Ji Clan Leader and Xiahou Family Head."
Having said that, he turned to Zhao Feng and instructed, "Quickly go and sculpt statues for Chu Ji Clan Leader and Xiahou Family Head!"
Zhao Feng, however, showed a troubled expression and complained, "Father, isn't this putting me in a difficult position? I haven't slept for a whole day and night; I'm so tired I can barely stand."
Zhao An realized his son's exhaustion and patted his own thigh. "I spoke too hastily. You should go back and rest first. You must regain your energy before starting the sculpting. The statues of these two must not have even the slightest flaw. Do you understand?"
Zhao Feng nodded in agreement. "Got it, Father. You can rest assured."
"I'm really too tired now; I need to catch up on some sleep." With that, he let out a big yawn and left the humble shrine.
Zhao An turned to Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing:
"Please stay a little longer in the small village. Once everything is settled, I will personally arrange for another statue of the Lord Deity to be made and gifted to you," said Zhao An.
"Additionally, regarding the food supplies, I will inform the Divine Lord upon his return that it was your initiative to offer assistance."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing exchanged satisfied glances. They understood that Zhao An's words carried significant weight.
"Thank you, Zhao Clan Leader," they replied in unison.
Zhao An waved his hand dismissively, indicating that such polite words were unnecessary. "You should be the ones to be thanked. Without your help, the food reserves of Zhao Family Village would not last much longer."
Hearing this, Zhu Ji and Xiahou Lan smiled at each other. "Zhao Clan Leader, there’s no need for such courtesy. You shouldn't bear all the pressure alone," Zhu Ji continued. "This burden can also be shared by our Chu Family and Xiahou Family. After all, we should help each other among our three clans."
Xiahou Xing added, "Indeed."
Zhao An nodded in agreement. "What you both say is true. Under the protection of the Lord Deity, we should indeed unite and cooperate."
Meanwhile, in the night, Guan Yu lay quietly beneath a tree, using his arm as a pillow, enjoying the last moments of tranquility before dawn. The white rabbit had silently departed, while the golden sun slowly climbed over the eastern horizon.
In a distant desolate forest, a young man with a clear complexion wielded two gleaming Iron Axes with fervor. As if entranced, he brought down tree after tree around him under the glimmer of his axes, making them vanish without a trace.
If there had been an observer present, they might have exclaimed that this was a Divine Miracle manifesting once again. Fortunately, there was no one around but Yun Yi, who could freely unleash his strength.
Eventually, when he saw his backpack filled once more, Yun Yi let out a gentle sigh of relief.
The speed of chopping down trees was indeed not as efficient as mining Iron Ore. Although the distribution of underground ores was difficult to explore, once a target was discovered, most Iron Ore deposits would be clustered together. This meant that Yun Yi only needed to wield his iron pickaxe and dig forward.
With the double boost from his hand strength and the efficiency of the tool, he moved like a protagonist from a movie, swinging the pickaxe to shatter Stone rapidly, destroying at least seven or eight rocks per second. However, collecting wood was different.
Despite the significant improvement in his range due to the enhancement of his strength, the distance between each tree was considerable. Some trees were spaced just four or five meters apart, while others were more than ten meters away. Therefore, after clearing an area of trees, Yun Yi had to rush to the next location to continue his work.
