As time passed day by day, a month quickly went by. Everything had entered a stable phase, and the entire Human Village and Spiritual Energy were now noticeably different. The crops that had been planted were growing rapidly, and the construction of the Countryside was also accelerating. Particularly in the area designated for restaurants, it was nearly ready for operation. Miao had gradually recruited capable individuals; the chef team, service team, and management team had all been hired and were currently undergoing intensive training, with professional knowledge being imparted by experienced trainers brought in from the Provincial Capital.
The Chief Financial Officer was a middle-aged woman named Yang Xinli, personally recruited by Zhan Lingfeng. She currently resided in the Countryside and was originally from this village.
Having spent a large sum of money without seeing any returns, Li Xiuli expressed some concern, saying, “Xu, can we really make this work?”
“Don’t worry, it will definitely succeed. Just wait to count the money then.”
Walking on the road back to the village, Zhan Lingfeng fell into deep thought as he looked ahead.
“What’s wrong?” Li Xiuli asked with concern upon noticing Zhan Lingfeng's demeanor.
“Son-in-law, look at this road; I’ve always overlooked it!”
“What do you mean?” Li Xiuli asked in confusion while also observing the road ahead.
“The time we spend traveling from the village to the Countryside is mostly taken up by this mountain, right?”
“Yes, climbing up from the foot of the mountain and then coming back down takes quite a while.”
“Exactly. Now tell me, if this mountain were to collapse completely, how much time would it take to cross from the other side?”
Li Xiuli laughed and said, “Are you dreaming? That mountain can’t possibly collapse.”
Zhan Lingfeng replied, “The reason we have to climb this mountain is that there’s a deep valley on its left side. Even if we go down and come back up, it would take the same amount of time. On the right side is a continuous range of mountains that cannot be traversed.”
“True.”
Zhan Lingfeng continued, “In fact, when it comes to constructing this road, the key issue is this mountain. The usual method for road construction would be to tunnel through it.”
Listening to Zhan Lingfeng's monologue, Li Xiuli asked in confusion, "What do you want to do?"
Zhan Lingfeng pointed down the mountain and said, "Look, actually the area beneath this mountain is suspended. If we could create a force to make a large section above collapse, the entire mountain would fall into the valley below. This way, a path would form above, and we would just need to build it up a bit to create a direct road."
"Are you going to use explosives?" Li Xiuli looked around again.
"No need for explosives; I have something better. There is a talisman called the Explosive Talisman, which is far more powerful than explosives. Let's make some and bury the talismans below to give it a try."
Saying this, he turned to Li Xiuli and said, "Let's go back and get it done."
Li Xiuli looked around again and hesitated, "Will it really work?"
"We won't know unless we try."
On the way back to the village, villagers greeted Zhan Lingfeng along the way. Recently, everyone had been very enthusiastic, working every day in the fields contracted by Zhan Lingfeng. They were also receiving wages from him, settled on the same day.
"Hey, it's strange! The rice you planted seems to be growing like crazy!"
"This is specially cultivated, so of course it grows fast."
"Those vegetables are also strange; they are growing really well, and there aren't even any pests."
"They're specially bred as well; it cost a lot of money."
"Hey, with so many chickens now, when are you planning to sell them?"
"Hey, the vegetables will be ripe soon too; we need to start selling them or it won't work."
Along the way, various site managers reported their work to Zhan Lingfeng.
"Don't worry, in a few days the restaurant in Countryside will open, and there will definitely be a market then."
When he returned home, Zhan Lingfeng exclaimed, "Dad, you're back!"
At a glance, Zhan Lingfeng noticed that his father had aged significantly, and he had lost a lot of weight.
Huang Xiaocui said, "Xu, your dad has really suffered this time. Sigh, Liu San from the village is no good. When he took your dad to the south, he ended up in a black factory, monitored every day and not allowed to go out. If the police hadn't raided that place, he might not have been able to come back at all. He had to call home using money he got from collecting bottles. This time he even walked back!"
Zhan Lingfeng was stunned and looked at his father again, clearly seeing that his father's spirit was extremely poor.
Zhan Guihe forced a smile and said, "No need to talk about that. Xu, I’ve heard everything from your mom about your situation. Dad is useless; this family still relies on you!"
"Dad, it's great that you're back. The household needs you to take charge; there are so many things I can't handle alone."
"What can I help you with? I don't understand anything."
"You don't need to understand anything; just keep an eye on things."
Although he had taken a bath, his father's hair was still very long. Zhan Lingfeng could easily imagine the situation his father faced while begging along the way.
"Dad, this is Healing Liquid that I specially prepared for you. Please drink it first."
Zhan Lingfeng occasionally made some medicinal liquids in his Medicine Cauldron to keep at home and now took out a bottle for Zhan Guihe to drink.
His father seemed somewhat dazed as he took it and drank it down.
As the bottle of potion was consumed, the previously listless father quickly regained his spirits, and his dazed condition showed some improvement.
Zhan Lingfeng took out another bottle of cleansing liquid and said, "Dad, you need to soak in the river before drinking this; it will help your body expel many toxins."
"What is this?"
Huang Xiaocui scolded, "Just drink what your son tells you to! Why ask so many questions? Do you think he would harm you?" She had complete trust in Zhan Lingfeng now. Both she and Li Xiuli had been drinking these potions regularly, and their health had improved significantly.
"Xiu, I’ll take him to get a haircut; his hair looks like a woman's now. What a hassle! Sigh!"
Watching his mother lead his father away, Zhan Lingfeng recalled some events from his past life. He remembered that his father had seemingly left home once but returned and never left the village again. It was likely that he came back in this manner.
Li Xiuli then said to Zhan Lingfeng, "Xiu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what our situation is right now!"
She spoke from the heart, realizing that going out to work was not as easy as it seemed.
"You are my woman; look at what you're saying!"
Glancing around, Zhan Lingfeng pulled Li Xiuli closer and then slipped his hand into her embrace.
The two quickly entered the room where they were staying.
As Zhan Lingfeng forcefully entered Li Xiuli from behind, their intimate encounter began.
