29. Immortals? Monster?
Suffering belongs to the past, and life must go on.
A week has passed since the floodwaters receded, and the village has been submerged under the mudslide, leaving nothing but salvaged supplies.
The people who returned to the original site of the village from the cave, looked at the ruins after the flood receded, took stock of their losses, wept, then wiped away their tears, stretched out their rough or delicate hands, and began the vigorous reconstruction work.
The enthusiasm suddenly washed away the sad atmosphere.
"Hey-don't rush around in life, do what you want to do to have fun, if you have a song, you have to take it out, and if you have wine, you have to drink it on the table!" No, the sun has just come out, and the young and strong people who started work have gathered, and they haven't even taken the tools, so they first snatched the starting wine that the old grandfather took out, not only drank it, but also sang it!
In the hometown of the song fairy, no one has ever been timid: "There is wine, there is music, there is work, work during the day and touch it at night, touch a beautiful girl, go home with you and roll the quilt!" ”
"Hahaha, Brother Yong misses his sister!"
"Then you have to quickly ask the old grandfather for medicine to cure pockmarks, otherwise which girl will follow you!"
"Nonsense, the young girl in the next village doesn't dislike it-"
"That's it, ugly and lazy, eating into a big-bellied woman, this should be Yong's little brother dislikes her."
"Hahaha......"
A pockmarked young man held a wine bowl and listened to everyone's teasing without mind, because his hands moved quickly, and while everyone was laughing, he drank the wine in front of three or four people without a drop!
"Ouch, hey, the stinky boy is treacherous, dare to steal your second uncle's wine!"
Finally discovered, and attracted a laughing crusade, a day's hard work began with laughter, and the mess after the catastrophe could not stop people's thoughts of suffering and having fun. Today begins with a mountain song, so after a while, the hot construction site has completely become a sea of songs.
Cheerful, talking, ridiculing, and all kinds of digging into the lower limit of the brain, the men doing heavy work, the women playing bits and pieces on the side, and the children scurrying around, all of them were stirred into the mountain song, singing and making noise, and the rescue point on another slope hundreds of meters away was clearly audible.
"Humans are truly a fragile and resilient species......"
Han Jiujiu stood on the familiar slope that overlooked the entire village and sighed.
It's strange that he has been a human being for almost thirty years, and he has only been a god for a year, but Han Jiujiu is already very familiar with such a perspective that is withdrawn from the human world. Although he tried his best to get his blood up several times, he could also overlook the world like this, joking about Hongchen, and being calm like an old monster who had lived for a long time.
She had been worried about becoming a land, living alone in Sheji Yuanming, there was no kind, and her relatives couldn't recognize each other, one day she couldn't bear the loneliness and loneliness and didn't appear, Han Jiujiu had a hunch that if it was the current life of a hermit in the mountains, she could still live for dozens or hundreds of years!
Qiao Shi was by Han Jiujiu's side, very uneasy about her still a little pale face and body that was always unable to exert strength, and when he heard the words, he looked at her line of sight and said approvingly: "Human beings have been walking like this for millions of years, and will continue to walk like this, how many hardships have been stepped on, and this point in front of me will not become any obstacle." ”
"Yes......" Han Jiujiu smiled, facing the morning sun, a dazzling smile bloomed on her pale little face, she pointed to the crowd of people who were busy like ants on the ruins, and said: "With his own hands, he carves out his own hope, and at this time, he does not seek God or Buddha, and it is because of this that he has become the protagonist of heaven and earth." ”
"I like this kind of race, and sometimes I want to protect them from a qiē tribulation, but unfortunately God is not omnipotent, I am not that strong...... Moreover, the seedlings that have left the wind and rain cannot grow a strong waist, and they can only be stronger by leaving the suffering on their own. ”
Han Jiujiu's eyes were shining, revealing an ardent expectation, just like an old farmer looking at the seedlings, and like a child raised by his own hands, looking forward to his growth, which was an extraordinarily strong ...... Kind!
"Hmph, like an old mother!"
Qiao Shi clasped his hands, showed a miserable look on his cold and hard face, and turned his face to the side.
Han Jiujiu's face twitched, and his emotional mood immediately disappeared, and he squinted at Qiao Shi, who still maintained the appearance of a cold-faced soldier for a while, leaned up, poked his cheek, and said unhappily: "I found that since the two of me have become more and more familiar, your character has collapsed very much!" ”
"What about the taciturn and indifferent soldier brother, what kind of trouble are you going to make with such an awkward and poisonous tongue!"
Qiao Shi, who was ninety-four years old, had never heard the trendy vocabulary of the new century, but it did not affect his understanding, so he raised his eyebrows, looked at Han Jiujiu, who was poking at him, and said expressionlessly: "It only takes a minute to know a person, but understanding a person requires consideration in all aspects, that is the accumulation of time, who made you jump to conclusions so quickly." ”
"Uh......"
Looking at Qiao Shi, who suddenly became literary and artistic, Han Jiujiu was a little caught off guard, staring at him face to face with big eyes, Qiao Shi calmly let her stare at it, and after a long time, he held back a sentence:
"This pseudo-literary way is not suitable for you, quickly return my dignified and steady Major Qiao to me!"
"Are you sure Major Joe is yours?"
"It's still the people of the whole country who work in all walks of life!"
"You've been reading a lot of the news lately, right?"
"It's not because of the recent overwhelming publicity, eh...... You're going to change the subject again! Han Jiujiu said angrily, always feeling that this man was carelessly teasing her!
Qiao Shi didn't care about her anger at all, but felt that the little girl's glaring and angry appearance was very good-looking, so he stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, pointing to the Yongshan villagers who were busy like ants below: "Since you are so worried, instead of posting some useless feelings here, it is better to think about what road Yongshan Village will take after it is rebuilt." ”
"What do you mean?" Han Jiujiu was stunned for a long time, fortunately he was not a stupid person, and after thinking about it, he understood what Qiao Shi meant: "Do you want the village to change its business model?" It's not easy, it's all a way of life inherited from our ancestors, and it's so hard to change! ”
"It's a new path, and there will always be risks, but times are already accelerating, and nothing is going to be the same. This time, the flood has washed away many roads in the southwest of Gui province, and the state has decided to allocate funds to rebuild a new secondary road, and Yichuan county is at the center of the flood and will be prioritized. Do you know what that means? ”
Qiao Shi pointed to the potholed dirt road outside Yongshan Village, which had been soaked in floodwaters, but her eyes looked at Han Jiujiu, containing a kind of brilliance that she had never seen.
"Meaning...... Opportunity? ”
Han Jiujiu's voice trembled a little, she was different from Qiao Shi, she was just an ordinary ordinary person in her previous life, she did what the country said, she went with the flow, comfortable but confused, never thought that one day she would seize any great opportunity from a news that could not be beaten by eight poles.
This kind of high-spirited self-confidence in guiding the country belongs to the boldness and sensitivity of people like Qiao Shi, who have lived at the top of the pyramid since childhood!
"You're going to ...... Do what? ”
Han Jiu looked at him stunned for a long time, but she already had a trace of speculation in her heart, after all, she had also experienced too many developments and changes in later generations-
Sure enough, Qiao Shi's calm voice sounded with a little low jump: "The opportunities brought by a road are unimaginable, the country has developed to this day, there are too many precedents to follow, and after the development of the city, what will become of those rural areas that cannot make changes, do you want me to say more for a long time?" ”
Han Jiujiu was in a cold sweat when he heard this: What will it become? Not only have I seen the heroism of young people moving into the city in their previous lives, but also the migrant workers who have contributed to the city but have been discriminated against, and the countless problems brought about by the migration of the rural population to the city - left-behind children, empty nesters, and desolate and silent villages......
In his previous life, Han Jiujiu had also witnessed with his own eyes that the village that was bustling with people when he was a child later fell into a place where only the old and weak were left behind, the houses were empty, the fields were desolate, and the whole village seemed to be slowly dying - from the current heat to the desolation and ruin at that time, it was only twenty years - and she is now the land of Yongshan Village, destined to stay here for thousands of years!
Is this the future she is looking forward to?
On this hillside, watching your territory become like that step by step?
"No, of course not......"
Han Jiujiu lowered his head and spoke slowly, his slender white fingers clenched into fists, and for the first time since he became a god, he had a sense of urgency to change something!
Yes, these things may be too much beyond her cognitive ability, but isn't there a good opportunity and person to ask for help in front of her!
Qiao Shi clasped his hands and looked at the busy crowd below silently, as if he had time to wait for Han Jiujiu to digest it by himself, suddenly, he felt that the corner of his clothes was being torn off, and when he glanced at it, it was a snow-white little face with a pitiful face, blinking big eyes, both pure and weak and pitiful:
Han Jiujiu's white fingers gently pinched the corners of his camouflage clothes, revealing the expression of a small white flower from the angle of looking up, and said timidly: "Brother Qiao, people are going to use beauty tricks, can you tell me about your plan?" ”
That voice, one soft and three turns, puzzled the iron heart and liver to tremble three times!
Well, at least Major Joe's goosebumps have come out one after another, and I can't wipe them even-
"Na, Brother Qiao, help others~" Han Jiujiu came up with "Chu Chu Pitiful", completely ignoring Qiao Shi's concave shape, a pair of big eyes with smoke and spitting, like a clear spring, the next moment it will overflow water!
"People don't want to live in an empty village in the future~ Brother Qiao, you're the best, aren't you~"
Qiao Shi: Grandpa, this product is definitely not a fairy but a fox demon, right?
