Chapter 202: The Banquet Will Disperse
Jinchan New Village was originally a place jointly planned by Yixiu and Liuxin to temporarily resettle many new victims, but later it became a small village for a period of time.
But after all, these people fled from other places, because the famine came to the mountains, and because the famine was stranded here.
Today, the envoys belonging to the Grand Duke of Magnolia also rushed to the stricken Rock Fire City in a hurry, and at the same time, they also brought a large amount of food and supplies.
This means that there will never be a famine again for a long time to come.
As long as the drought is lifted, even if it rains heavily, the land can be nourished and revitalized by the rain, and the farmers can rejoin the farming, which will ensure that there will be no more major problems in the food of Rockfire City and the surrounding area, and there will even be a surplus.
As for the areas north of Rock Fire City, according to the messenger's message, those areas also received relief from the Grand Duke, and there were several heavy rains, the drought was resolved, and cultivation was restored, and industry and commerce were back to normal operations.
In this environment, many people who dragged their families with them, and there was a person who escaped from home and came to Jincian Mountain for refuge, they thought about the old fathers and mothers at home, and they all began to feel homesick and wanted to go back.
After Ikkyu got the good and bad news, his heart was heavy, and even when he was walking on the road, his pace was a little slower than usual.
On the one hand, he was happy for the poor victims, after all, it was better to have a home to return to than to wander outside, and the disaster had been alleviated, or even almost resolved, and there would be no more large numbers of people starving to death.
This is a thing worth rejoicing about, but on the other hand, it also means that the tens of thousands of victims on Jincia Mountain are about to leave.
As soon as these people leave, the Golden Cicada Mountain will be completely empty at once, and Yixiu can't guarantee whether these people will adhere to the belief in the Golden Cicada Temple and the Buddha after they go back.
In the first place, after these victims go back, they will definitely devote themselves to new labor, coupled with the local ideological control, and at that time, his merit point income and the number of believers at all levels will definitely plummet!
But Ikyu understood that there was no such thing as a feast, and he was thinking that these victims would stay here, but it would be useless.
Therefore, when Yixiu walked from the Buddha Hall to the road of Jincian New Village, his heart has always been heavy, thinking a lot, and thinking of many solutions, but he was denied by himself one by one.
It wasn't until Jin Chan New Village that I walked to the entrance of Jin Chan New Village and saw the entrance of the village.
But seeing that there were thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the village, each with torches in their hands, their faces were red, and their eyes fell on him after Yixiu appeared, with gratitude and reluctance in their eyes.
At that moment, all his previous worries were run out of the clouds by him in an instant, and he suddenly felt that these people could be saved by himself, and they should be his greatest luck to be able to live well in the Golden Cicada Mountain, why force too much?
With this thought, Ikyu's originally bitter face finally stretched.
The next moment, from the outside to the inside, the entrance of the village extended straight into the village, and the pile of people who could barely see the end at a glance knelt down towards him, and at the same time they held torches in one hand and spread out to the sky with the other, shouting in unison.
"Praise, Amitabha, praise, abbot. ”
Then, everyone stood up and fell to their knees again, the last time it was a necessary procedure, but this time it was the most sincere thanks to Ikyu.
"Untouchables Good, kneel down to thank the abbot of Yixiu and the masters of the Golden Cicada Temple for saving their lives. ”
"Untouchables in the European style, with the whole family, kneel down to thank the abbot and the masters of the Golden Cicada Temple for their life-saving grace. ”
。。。
This time, Ikkyu heard all kinds of thanks, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment clouded his heart in a moment, and his whole state began to be excited.
Immediately after that, the people stood up, and from the position directly opposite the Ikyu House, the people began to turn around and make way for Ikyu and the others to make a long road, leading to a small square inside the Jinchan New Village.
Yixiu smiled faintly, met everyone's expectant eyes, paced towards him, and walked in the way that people let out, followed by the people of the Golden Cicada Temple and others.
There are old and young people on this road, the older ones have been holding torches to welcome the arrival of Yixiu with crutches, and it is estimated that the small ones are only half a person high, and they still hold a man, holding small torches, and waving new tricks.
Ikyu looked at the smiles of these people who had reunited after a long absence, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and his sense of emotion was overflowing.
After more than ten minutes, Ikyu finally walked out of the human wall lined up by thousands of people and came to the small square in the center of Jinchan New Village.
Originally, this small square was not very large, and it could barely accommodate 3,000 people crowded together, but now the small square is much larger, and it is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people at a glance.
It seems that many of the houses that used to stand here have been demolished.
At this moment, thousands of victims who had not shown up before gathered in the square, and the whole square was full of people, and a pile of firewood could be seen in the center of the square, which was about ten meters high.
Sish was the guy who led the crowd to plan a high-level riot when he was unjustly locked up in the dungeon before.
He was just a working-class person before, and after the disaster, he came to Jincicada Mountain, which happened to coincide with the establishment of Jincicada New Village, considering his previous prestige and merit among believers, Xishi naturally became the first village chief of Jincian New Village.
At this moment, he walked out of the crowd and said after saluting to Yixiu.
"Honorable Abbot Yixiu, now that the disaster of the magnolia fiefdom has eased, many of our villagers want to go home, but, I am grateful for the kindness of the abbot and the masters, I am reluctant to leave, think twice, in desperation, on behalf of the villagers, I would like to invite the abbot and the little masters to come to the farewell banquet of my Jincian New Village, talk about their hearts, and invite the masters Haihan!!"
As he spoke, Sish lowered his head, bent down, and respectfully handed a torch tied with a red cloth in his hand in front of Ikyu.
The meaning is obvious, this is to let Ikyu personally come forward to light the pyre and start the banquet.
And Yixiu also nodded, turned his head to look at those sincere faces, and then slowly said to Xishi.
"The village chief of Xishi has worked hard. ”
Xishi hurriedly nodded and whispered, "The little one is not hard, thanks to the abbot and the master of the six hearts, let me be the village chief of Jincian New Village, the small thanks are too late, how dare you say that it is hard." ”
Ikyu didn't speak, took the torch handed by Shish, and slowly walked to the pyre in the center. 166 Reading Network
