Chapter 82 Guard
After feeding the ducks, the dog, and Xiao Yuan, Chen Dao took out the Blood Lingzhi and fed it to the three Blood Feather Chickens. He planned to breed a small number of Blood Claw Chickens as a fighting force to protect his backyard.
As for the Crimson Blood Chicken... Chen Dao doesn't plan to train it for the time being. For him now, the Blood Feather Chicken is effective enough. He can train it when he needs it in the future.
"The number of livestock is increasing!"
After feeding the chickens and ducks, Chen Dao looked at the flocks of chickens and ducks in the backyard that were constantly squawking and felt a bit of a headache.
As the number of livestock increased, Chen Dao inevitably felt overwhelmed in managing them. Raising livestock involves much more than just feeding them; it also includes cleaning up manure, keeping track of flock numbers, egg production, and many other things.
Now there are thirty more ducks... Chen Dao is already feeling overwhelmed. In fact, Li Ping and Ding Xiaohua also help with these things, but... there are still not enough people!
"Looks like we'll have to ask some people for help."
Chen Dao pondered for a moment, then went back inside and had dinner with his family before lying down.

The next day.
Chen Cheng woke up just as dawn was breaking.
The two brothers, Chen Shi and Chen Mu, who shared a room with Chen Cheng, noticed the commotion and looked at Chen Cheng, who had gotten up, and asked, "Big brother, are we going to Dao Ge'er's house?"
"Ah."
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "You guys don't need to get up. Keep lying down and reduce your energy consumption."
Although people in this world don't know about the law of conservation of energy, they are aware that the more they move, the more energy they consume.
Chen Shi and Chen Mu can no longer eat at Chen Dao's house, and with food supplies running low, the best way to conserve food is undoubtedly to stay in bed and minimize food consumption.
Chen Cheng walked out of the bedroom and heard sounds coming from the kitchen. When he went over to take a look, he saw his mother, Liu Yan, making breakfast.
"mother."
Chen Cheng walked into the kitchen and glanced at the porridge simmering in the pot. The porridge was made by mixing a small amount of bran powder with a large amount of rice bran. In the past, even this kind of food was not enough to satisfy Chen Cheng's hunger, but now...
After eating at Chen Dao's house, Chen Cheng no longer found the food appealing.
After all, compared to steamed buns, egg drop soup, and chicken, the porridge made with bran flour tastes very different, and eating too much of it can easily cause constipation.
"Cheng-ge'er is up?"
Liu Yan turned to look at Chen Cheng and said, "Now that you're up, hurry up and go help out at Dao Ge'er's house. Don't delay Dao Ge'er's important business."
"Got it, mother."
Chen Cheng glanced at the mushy porridge cooking in the pot again, and made up his mind that he would make sure his family never had to eat such unpalatable food again.
…………

When Chen Cheng arrived at Chen Dao's house braving the cold wind, Chen Dao was feeding the livestock in the backyard. Ding Xiaohua was the one who received Chen Cheng.
"Cheng-ge'er, Dao-ge'er has already given instructions. You've arrived, so eat first."
Ding Xiaohua led Chen Cheng into the kitchen and gestured for him to sit at the dining table and have breakfast with Chen Fei and Qiu Jie.
Today's breakfast wasn't much; it consisted of only steamed buns and a small bowl of egg drop soup for each person.
Having eaten at Chen Dao's house a few times before, Chen Cheng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite everyone, grabbing a steamed bun and starting to eat.
"Uncle Cheng can eat a lot."
Chen Fei, who was eating a small bite of steamed bun, looked at Chen Cheng sitting opposite her and said with a smile.
Little Qiu Jie beside her nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes! Uncle Chen Cheng can eat so much! He can eat 10 steamed buns at once. I wish I could eat that many too!"
This is a problem for young Qiu Jie. The steamed buns are so delicious, but her stomach is too small, and she can only eat two at most at a time.
"hey-hey!"
Chen Cheng scratched his head and chuckled, "When you grow up, you can eat as much as your uncle."
"really?"
The two children's eyes lit up. The thought of being able to eat as much as Chen Cheng made them want to grow up quickly so they could eat even more steamed buns.
"of course it's true."
Returning from the backyard, Chen Dao patted the two children on the head and said, "Eat well, and maybe you'll grow up to be as tall as Uncle Cheng."
"I don't want it!"
Chen Fei shook her head vigorously. She just wanted to be able to eat as much as Chen Cheng, but she didn't want to be as strong as a bull, after all, she was a girl.
"Ha ha!"
Chen Dao laughed, then said to Chen Cheng, "Brother Cheng, are you full? If you are, come with me."
"I am full."
Chen Cheng nodded, and then followed Chen Dao to the front yard.
After the two stood in the front yard, Chen Dao turned to Chen Cheng and said, "Cheng-ge'er, you still don't know why I've called you here, do you?"
"do not know."
Chen Cheng scratched his head and said that Chen Dao had only said he would work with him, but had not said what he would do specifically.
"I summoned you here to be my bodyguard."
Chen Dao explained, "From now on, you will stay by my side and protect my safety at all times. Can you do that?"
"can do it."
Chen Cheng nodded without hesitation. He knew about the profession of bodyguard, which was to protect the safety of important people. In Chen Cheng's eyes, Chen Dao was the most important person in the village, and he was so good to him. He had no objection to protecting Chen Dao. He even made a secret decision in his heart: even if it cost him his life, he would protect Dao Ge'er's safety!
"very good."
Seeing Chen Cheng's statement, Chen Dao nodded and continued, "Brother Cheng, you should know about martial artists, right?"
"know."
Chen Cheng nodded: "I've heard that martial artists are all big shots, almost like the county magistrate in a town."
"..."
Chen Dao smirked, too lazy to explain, and simply patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder, saying, "I plan to train you to become a martial artist!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "Brother Dao, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Ordinary villagers like Chen Cheng have very limited understanding of martial artists. In their eyes, martial artists are high and mighty figures, no less than county magistrates.
At this moment, Chen Dao said... he wanted to cultivate himself into such a person, and Chen Cheng really found it hard to believe what Chen Dao said.
"Do not believe?"
Chen Dao had anticipated that Chen Cheng wouldn't believe him, so he didn't explain. Instead, he grabbed Chen Cheng's arm and pulled hard.
"what!"
Caught off guard, Chen Cheng hurriedly tried to resist, but his strength was no match for Chen Dao's. He was pulled off balance by Chen Dao and fell face-first to the ground.
Chen Dao didn't use much force, so the fall didn't cause much damage to Chen Cheng. However, Chen Cheng was completely stunned after falling to the ground.
