Chapter 451 Hours

As the bloodsucking locusts neared his shoe, Li Huowang lifted his foot and stomped a locust dead right beside him, then looked at the young Yang boy in front of him with a rare hint of pity.

"Do these things often suck your blood?"

"We're tending the paddy fields; having leeches is just inevitable with the water buffaloes around. As long as it's not a water snake, it's fine. The leeches sucking blood isn't a big deal, we have hands to pull them off."

"But it's troublesome if they attach to the buffalo since the buffalo don't have hands to remove them. They're just left to have their blood sucked by these creatures. That's why they're called 'buffalo leeches'."

Li Huowang stared at the young Yang boy's youthful face, considering how if this child were in the future world, he would probably only be in sixth grade. Yet here, he had already taken up the role of an adult.
