The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 955 - 931: Training

Eighteen people each held up a headless stick, looking arrogant. Even though you have more people and strength in numbers, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can win.

After this battle, their morale was greatly boosted.

What are those bandit soldiers, after all?

Lin Dawang was envious. They truly fought one against a hundred. If the young and strong men in his village could learn their methods, there’s a chance their two villages could unite and make progress on the path of smuggling salt.

With cupped hands, Lin Dawang greeted them. Although he was somewhat opportunistic and had his own considerations,

right was right and wrong was wrong. When truly admiring someone, he was sincerely genuine at heart.

"Mr. Jiang is truly a talented person. With such a talented person as Mr. Jiang, why should we fear those taxes? I only hope that Mr. Jiang considers that we are all common folks with hard lives, merely trying to make a living. Please also teach these villagers."

Li Tieniu glared; this was poaching right in front of him, it was infuriating!

"Lin Dawang, how could you do this when I call you brother?"

Lin Dawang chuckled, "Mr. Jiang isn’t from your Li Family Village. If he can teach your village, he can certainly teach our Lin Family Village. Mr. Jiang, whatever amount of tuition Li Family Village gives you, we will double it."

Li Tieniu looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao urgently, hoping she wouldn’t agree.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "I never charged Li Family Village any tuition, and naturally won’t charge Lin Family Village either. However, you must be responsible for your own food. Anyone who wants to learn from me must ensure their diet is adequate. If you’re hungry, don’t blame me if your skills fall short."

Recently, she and Li Tieniu had gathered all the information about this world.

After all, this was a chaotic world, where common people struggled to survive. Teaching others a skill that could provide them with a means to live.

was perhaps the only thing she could do for them.

These people were born at the wrong time, and given the circumstances, they should not be overly concerned with such matters or create hierarchies.

It was about uniting these ordinary laborers, for when people are united, their numbers will protect them in a chaotic world.

Lin Dawang was overjoyed; if someone was willing to teach their people, it would only take some effort to learn genuine skills.

If they could truly learn this, what would they have to fear?

In the following half month, people from the two villages trained together.

At first, the strong men from Lin Family Village didn’t quite understand. Wasn’t this just running and jumping? How could this work?

They were very suspicious, thinking Jiang Xiaoxiao might be withholding something. But when they saw the youths from Li Family Village doing the same,

and how earnestly the Li Family Village youths trained—not only without complaints but with serious dedication—their doubts were put to rest.

However, when they saw what the Li Family Village youths were eating, they were greatly surprised.

Every meal consisted of black bread and meat stew, and they were full.

This was too extravagant.

Even the wealthier families wouldn’t dare eat like this.

Weren’t they afraid of eating themselves into poverty?

But this was how the Li Family Village ate.

Looking at their own thin gruel, gulping down a big bowl still left them hungry, with nothing left after a few laps of running.

They were envious!

Lin Dawang was also frustrated; he thought Jiang Xiaoxiao was joking about keeping up with the food.

Being full was good enough, especially since their village people contributed their stored grains while still going hungry.

Little did he know, they were genuinely providing substantial meals.

After training, their people were exhausted, unable to get up from the ground.

While the Li Family Village youths looked vigorous and energetic.

Lin Dawang gritted his teeth; to learn real skills requires some sacrifice.

Didn’t they see the sacrifices made by Li Family Village, which was worse off than Lin Family Village? Yet, they gathered enough resources to provide such meals.

Regarding this, they were not as good as the others.

Prepare!

Immediately, the young men of Lin Family Village improved their meals, although they couldn’t afford pure black bread—a luxury beyond their means—they found ways to get some black flour.

Mixed with wild vegetables from the mountains, they made patties, at least better than the previous meals.

Moreover, the later meals improved. When Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Tieniu went hunting, they consciously shared some of the meat stew with people from Lin Family Village. After all, these wild animals were caught in the mountains and had no cost, just the effort of climbing mountains and crossing valleys.

Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that such a high level of activity, without sufficient protein, could not be supported by just wild vegetables and dry food, so she consciously shared the wild game with them.

Cooking meat stew with gruel, everyone could get some protein, noticeably strengthening their bodies.

Training became more enthusiastic than before.

Very soon, half a month passed, as they needed to set off in a month to pay taxes.

Smuggling salt required walking, necessitating leaving enough time in advance.

Youths from Lin Family Village and Li Family Village set off. Of course, Lin Family Village didn’t send all eighty or ninety people; only about thirty or forty participated in the training.

These 38 people set off with 18 from Li Family Village. Although traveling together, there were still some clear distinctions at times.

However, Lu Xiaoxiao had already given them clear instructions.

Everyone must remember the offensive and defensive alliance. If they divide themselves into Lin Family Village and Li Family Village, their morale will falter when facing enemies.

Remember, they are one group, sharing honor and disgrace as a whole.

Lin Dawang and Li Tieniu did not shy away and joined the group directly.

Everyone carried dry food, water, and weapons; each had a red tassel spear in hand.

They appeared mighty, but only they knew that few had steel-headed red tassel spears; only about a dozen people had steel tips.

The others had spear tips made from hard mountain wood.

Everyone carried several spear tips to replace if one broke.

Thankfully, these spear tips were very sturdy because Jiang Xiaoxiao had the best carpenter in the village make them following her screw concept. The modified spear tips were indeed very secure on the spears.

They set off enthusiastically, and fortunately, encountered no bandits along the way.

Of course, they carried nothing, clearly having no valuables, and those bandits weren’t foolish enough

to attempt robbing fifty or sixty strong men.
