Lixiang didn't shy away from thinking about staying here for a few days.
"........."
The old man couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but before Li Xiang noticed it, he turned his head away again.
At the same time, in Lixiang's mind, he suddenly noticed the thoughts that had been left behind because of the intrusion of the devil pig, and he couldn't help asking: "Here...is there really that hydra living here?" ?”
"Well, yes, there really are."
Lixiang's question did not sink or dissipate like a bubble, the old man's voice came at the same time as his words fell, but the calm words were full of loneliness and loneliness.
Li Xiang froze for a moment: "Old man? Do you know about Hydera?"
"I know, of course I know."
The old man was in a trance for a few seconds, as if suddenly recalling the past.
"When I was as young as you... no, maybe even younger, there was no Hydera in Lake Lena at that time, our village relied on farming, hunting, and the rich water products of Lake Lena for a living, Although it is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world, life can be regarded as affluent..."
"Later, the nine-headed basilisk did not know when it occupied Lake Lena. At first, he just lived here and left a lair, but his appetite became bigger and bigger, and finally drove us away. Walk."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "The monster wants to drive us out of Lake Lena completely, so we can only be forced to move here, the population began to decrease, and we linger on here."
"Until now, He is still not satisfied. It may not be long before His poisonous miasma will cover the surrounding mountains first, making this place completely His territory."
"Haven't you thought about leaving? If you leave earlier, maybe more people will survive."
Li Xiang couldn't help asking.
"Well...leave...but we can't leave. The news of the ferocious basilisk in Lake Lena has already spread throughout Greece. The king of Argolis did not dare to act rashly here. The surrounding mountains are difficult and desolate. , it is too difficult for us to go out, and where is there a paradise like Lake Lena that is suitable for us to take root? And..."
The old man paused for a moment, and then sighed softly: "And even if we jumped out of this trap, we still fell into the fire pit of those noble kings."
"........."
Lixiang, who was not deeply involved in the world, could not refute the old man's answer at all.
Li Xiang pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But looking at the late and lonely eyes of the old man in front of him, his heart began to throb, and in a trance, the figure of the old man slowly changed before his eyes into a figure that was sometimes kind, sometimes strict, sometimes stubborn, and sometimes unreasonable. .
"Father..."
Li Xiang couldn't help murmuring softly, but reacted immediately, fortunately the old man in front of him didn't hear it.

Chapter 51: The Miracle of Heroes
In this way, a night of carnival was held in this small village. Until late at night, the old people and some older people drove the villagers back to their homes.
Tonight's celebration is just a little solace for this suffering. Tomorrow they still have to go back to normal life and clean up the village that was messed up by the devil pig. They still have to face most of the farmland The ruthless fact that has been destroyed by the demon pig.
"senior."
Matthew watched the remaining villagers cleaning the surroundings, and couldn't help looking at Lixiang who was sitting on the side in front of him.
"How are you playing?"
Lixiang smiled and waved at the same time, and the little white beast jumped onto his shoulder from the stake he was sitting on.
"Yeah!" Matthew nodded with a smile, and said, "Everyone is very nice, and we are all very happy."
"but……"
She paused for a moment: "Although this is true, everyone still looks a little depressed and distressed..."
"Because not only the things in the village were destroyed this time, but also large areas of crops were destroyed. This must be a very heavy blow to the villagers."
Li Xiang lowered his head, looked at the charcoal fire that was gradually extinguished in front of him and said.
Matthew let out a "hmm" and said, "No matter in which era, once the food source is affected, it will cause serious consequences."
"...Famine and disease are the most painful disasters for mankind, and there are similar records in the Chaldean database."
Matthew’s voice was a little low. Chaldea’s materials are not only pure paper materials, but also a lot of video and photo materials, but unfortunately those are not good records worth remembering. Those recorded are all Unspeakable pain and suffering.
Even though the girl had never personally experienced such a thing, such information also left a very deep impression on her.
"Well, yes, the meat of a devil pig alone can't feed the people of such a village. There may still be a little food in the village, but I don't think it will last long."
Li Xiang looked at the huge fire, the flames were slowly going out until there was only a little charcoal burning in the state of ignorance, emitting the last residual heat.
When Matthew heard the words, she couldn't help but look at the young man in front of her, and her eyes became firm.
"Then we should be able to do something for these villagers, senior."
Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help showing an unbearable smile on his face, "Well... it seems that we have thought of going together."
The boy and the girl looked at each other, then smiled at each other.
There are a few empty houses here, and the villagers welcome Lixiang's idea of living here for a few days. After all, a hero who can eliminate disasters for them but has nothing to do refused.
…………
The next day, Lixiang and the girl were walking along the edge of the farmland. The soil in most of the farmland here was turned over, and all the crops were turned into the ground, and the villagers could only pull them out.
The old man who had chatted with Lixiang last night was watching, his eyes that were no longer clear seemed to be filled with silence.
It took a while before he noticed the young girl beside him.
"Oh...it's Mr. Hero, did you sleep well last night?"
He looked at Lixiang, with a smile on his face, but this little smile couldn't cover up the dull color on his face.
"We slept very well."
Matthew responded with a smile: "But this is..."
"Oh...we're going to pull out those crops, spread a layer on the ground after the fire, and then seal the land until next year...hope there will be a good harvest."
"Is it too late to grow crops now?"
Seeing the old man's forced smile, Li Xiang felt very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help asking.
"...It's too late, it's too late, even if the newly planted barley can germinate smoothly, it will be difficult to harvest before the autumn harvest."
Leaning on crutches, the old man looked at the villagers who were busy cleaning up the crops that had been turned into the field, his eyes were full of sadness.
Relying on one year's harvest alone for two years...how is this enough?Their food itself can't harvest much throughout the year, and one harvest in a year is almost the food of the whole village for a year.
If it was possible to go fishing in Lake Lena, maybe it would survive this year, but now that lake is occupied by Hydera, no one can go fishing in the lake at all.
In other words, this year can only rely on the prey caught in the hunt and the devil pig...
Thinking of this, even the old man couldn't help but feel the unprecedented predicament and despair. His eyes swept over the busy villagers on the farmland, wondering... How many people will be left in the end of this disaster...?
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year's winter... I'd better leave my little food for those children. They are still young and eat little. When they grow up, they can at least add a few more families to the village.
"How should we help them? Senior..."
Saying that, Matthew couldn't help turning her head to look at Lixiang, she felt a little distressed.
After all, this kind of thing is not their strong point.
But even so, Matthew also thought about the feasibility of other methods. Even if they help the villagers go hunting in the mountains, the range of activities around them is so large, and further areas are not conducive to the villagers' commuting. Yes, if you want to go fishing, you must also meet Hydra, the basilisk in Lake Lena.
"Yeah, what should I do..."
Li Xiang frowned lightly, this distress lingered in his mind and never dissipated for a long time.
"It seems that we still have to go to Lake Lena..."
After a while, Li Xiang rubbed his temples in trouble, he felt that there was nothing he could do, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he might have another way.
"Senior, you have another idea, right?"
The pink-haired girl was already used to Lixiang talking halfway and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She was taken aback for a moment, and then asked excitedly before Lixiang could speak.
"Ah... ah, it seems that even you, Mash, are used to it..."
Li Xiang couldn't help but smiled awkwardly.
"Senior, what can you do? Do you need my help?"
Matthew asked, she was the best mentally prepared to face everything.
"No, no, I just need to..."
As he spoke, the young man lowered his body and bent his waist. His fingertips flicked across the soft soil, and then he found a grass seed.
"..."
He didn't speak, just stared at the grass seeds in his hands, staring at the sleeping life.
His pupils dilated slightly, and the words imbued with ancient power were also engraved in these shining pupils of the star sea. In these ancient words, the rhythm of life, old age, sickness and death was also contained.
... [Berkana].
This is a new life, and this is the beginning of everything. It has obtained [life] from the mother's womb, and will continue to reproduce and continue its own [replica (offspring)].
"........."
Accompanied by an indescribable sound, the grass seeds in Lixiang's hands burst and sprouted.
"He... ho."
Only Lixiang saw this miraculous scene in his hand, he took a deep breath, and then put the germinated seedling on the side of the road.
"senior?"
Matthew opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a moment. Originally, she thought that Lixiang would go to Atalanta, but it seems that the "method" that the senior thought of now is quite different from what she estimated.
She couldn't help turning her eyes to the young shoots that Li Xiang put down by the side of the road. She looked at the new shoots drawn from the grass seeds, paused for a moment, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly turned her head and ran out of the village.
"Matthew? What are you doing?"
Atalanta looked at the abnormal Matthew, feeling a little puzzled, isn't she always inseparable from Lixiang...
"Old man, do you still have seeds that can be used for farming?"
Li Xiang found the old man and asked.
The old man froze for a moment, and the unspeakable misery in his heart was slightly relieved. He looked at Lixiang with a little surprise in front of his eyes, but he still said with a glimmer of hope.
"When, of course."
"Then can you call everyone together and plant the remaining seeds in the ground?"
Lixiang looked at the old man in front of him, but his eyes became a little fiery involuntarily. He felt that he was doing a big thing now, something that really benefited people.
But in front of his eyes, the old man's eyes were a little helpless, disappointed and retreating.
"My lord hero... Even if we plant the seeds now and grow crops, it will be too late to reap."
The old man sighed, as if even the last hope had vanished silently like this.
"——No, there is time, there must be time, I have a way, I have a way to solve all this."
Li Xiang didn't care about the old man's sigh, but insisted more firmly: "Please, please trust me."
"This………"
The old man was still a little hesitant, the remaining seeds were extremely important and undoubtedly the key to farming in the future, but Li Xiang said such words to him, and he was really caught in a dilemma.
On one side is the last hope for the survival of the village, and on the other side is the hero who just saved the village... this...
"Everyone...can you hear me?!"
Seeing that the old man had not spoken, Li Xiang couldn't help shouting at the edge of the field. It was the first time his voice was so loud. The villagers froze for a moment, and most of the village could hear the boy's shout.
The villagers in the field couldn't help but stop their work and looked at the hero who saved the village last night.
"I am standing here now, standing on this land that nourishes life, everyone listen to me—"
Li Xiang turned her head and shouted loudly, spreading her voice in all directions, so that the villagers in the village could hear it.
"I know, I've seen it too—the food that everyone worked so hard to grow is gone, this may be a disaster for this village that lasts for more than a year—"
"But I have a way. As long as everyone can plant the seeds of food in the ground, I can make the seeds germinate and make the harvest here—so...so, so please believe me! I can let everyone get food again !"
The boy ran to the middle of the field and shouted loudly. The villagers looked at the boy in the white light shirt, and their eyes flickered with hesitation. The boy's words moved them, but their reason told them—— This is impossible. No one can violate the most basic laws of nature. Even though young people have great power, it is impossible for the seeds to germinate and grow, so that the crops can be harvested.
