Chapter 160 - Knowledge
“Hey, such a fat goose, can it lay an egg each day?” Walking on the tidy street, Si Wen Ming, who was wearing single flax clothes and looked just like a middle-aged farmer, said while at the same moment grabbing the fat goose that was walking past him swayingly and rubbing its butt.
“Yes! These fowls of ours are all strong!” The elderly men said while laughing, his face was wrinkled because of the laugh. The elderly man then cherishingly petted the feathers of the fat goose, which was held in Si Wen Ming’s hands, and continued, “All of them can lay an egg each day, the children in our clan have all became stronger because of those eggs!”
Si Wen Ming dropped the fat goose, walked side by side the few elderly men, while chatting and laughing.
From how many people lived in the village, out of which how many were grown men and children exactly, to how many kids were born last year and how many kids didn’t manage to survive disasters and diseases, then to how many new farm lands the clan had opened up, and how many grains the farmlands produced this year; a clan had all kinds of ordinary administrative affairs, and Si Wen Ming could always bring a good topic.
Gradually, Ji Hao had been pulled in by their conversations.
Although Si Wen Ming was only chatting to those elderly men, some new knowledge and information would pop up from his words from time to time.
Things such as how to reduce the amount of wild grass in the farmland, how to raise the germination rate, how to grow the fowls stronger, how to prevent some fowls from falling ill, how to weave soldiers and weave more durable fishing nets, and how to make some agricultural tools that were more convenient to use.
Si Wen Ming had even taught those elderly men a few mature prescriptions for helping pregnant women to become healthier, eliminate parasites inside human bodies, and how to cure the little kids of crying at night and convulsion. The few elderly men seemed to have gained some valuable, treasured information, and hurriedly wrote the few prescriptions taught by Si Wen Ming down.
Ji Hao had also noticed that one of the elderly men had already darted out, rushing towards the largest wooden house in the middle of the entire clan village, at his highest speed.
According to the Southern Wasteland rules, the largest house in the middle of the clan village should be the residence of those Maguspriests and elders, who had the highest status in the clan. It seemed that Si Wen Ming had already attracted some attention in this clan, and would be treated as the most honoured guest by those Maguspriests and elders themselves.
Not long after that, over ten Maguspriests and elders quickly walked over along a small trail, happily and friendly saluted Si Wen Ming.
Ji Hao gave a carefully look to these elderly men who had white hair. Unlike like the Southern Wasteland Maguspriests, these elderly men dressed neatly and looked more gentle and sedated; giving a more friendly and leisurly feeling to the others.
The sense of powers that was being released from their bodies was also hugely different from that of those Southern Wasteland Maguspriests.
Southern Wasteland Maguspriests were better at communicating with ghosts and spirits that existed in the jungle, and were able to manipulate all kinds of mysterious creatures in the jungle; therefore, the senses of power that were released from their bodies were sharp and vicious. Some elderly Maguspriests were infected by all different kinds of evil and vicious powers, looked even like horrible ghosts, and were scary enough to make babies cry.
Different from that, the senses of power that Ji Hao had sensed from these Maguspriests and elders in this Midland clan, were purer and more positive, their powers were more similar to all kinds of natural and original powers in this world, obviously, the magics they were good at must be completely different from that of those Southern Wasteland magics.
Togother with those Maguspriests and elders, warriors who possessed the highest status amongst all th warriors, had also showed up. Ji Hao subconsciously compared these warriors with those Gold Crow Clan’s warriors he was familiar with, and discovered that these warriors seemed to be more gentle and moderate. Although some of them had already reached the peak-Senior Level, Ji Hao didn’t felt any aggressive sense of power from these warriors that he had often sensed from the Southern Wasteland warriors.
“This is how the agricultural civilisation is different from the barbaric clans,” murmured Ji Hao after having carefully observed for quite a while, then shook his head and chuckled.
Si Wen Ming was a very friendly and talkative person; he quickly made friends with those old Maguspriests after having only chatted for a short period. Everyone was happily laughing and chatting. Soon, the people from this clan were already seeing Si Wen Ming, Ji Hao and Man Man as their closest friends.
