Chapter Twenty-Three: The Story of the Fenced House
After Lan Xinrui left Deng Biao's house, she came to the walled house. The workers had just finished eating, and they were sitting in groups under the big trees in the courtyard of the enclosure to enjoy the coolness, and when they saw Lan Xinrui coming, they hurriedly got up to say hello.
After a few words of greeting with them, Lan Xinrui asked, "What about your boss?" ”
"I was still here just now, why did I disappear in a blink of an eye?" An old worker looked around and saw that the boss of the bag was coming in through the gate of the walled house, "Say Cao Cao Cao will arrive." ”
Boss Bao was overjoyed when he saw Lan Xinrui: "Mr. Lan, you're here!" He looked around, "What, you're alone?" ”
"Don't you dare to come alone?"
"No, I'm worried that you're not safe at night."
"Your boss is just considerate. It's okay, the peach blossoms have been simple since ancient times, the night is not closed, and the village is peaceful. ”
"Yes, I heard the villagers say that the Peach Blossom Dynasty has never been out or harbored bandits." Boss Bao pointed to the stool next to him, "Look at me, patronizing and talking, I forgot to give you a seat." ”
Lan Xinrui sat down: "I heard from my predecessors that in the twelfth year of the Republic of China, a group of bandits flowed to Taohua in an attempt to set up camp here. As a result, lightning and thunder suddenly thundered and heavy rain poured down that night, and I heard that the thunder and lightning would strike wherever the bandits hid, and the bandits had nowhere to hide and fled in all directions. When the bandits escaped from the peach blossoms, the thunder and lightning were gone, the rain stopped, and the sky suddenly cleared. ”
The workers gathered around as if they were sticking to the magnets, squatting or standing or sitting, staring at them like children listening to adults' stories. As soon as Lan Xinrui stopped, they chattered about you and me.
"These bandits are too eyeless, don't you see what kind of place this is?"
"This is heaven, where the gods live and live."
"If you want to seize the territory of the gods, no wonder you will be hit by thunder and rain."
……
A young man with curly hair asked, "Why didn't Lord Thor kill them?" ”
Lan Xinrui smiled kindly: "What is the Thunder God Lord?" Immortals, immortals are protective of living beings, and will not destroy living beings. So the Thunder God just coughed loudly a few times, sneezed a few times, and then asked the Dragon King of the East China Sea to attract a large basin of seawater to scare and scare them. ”
As soon as Lan Xinrui said this, the workers were energetic. A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and an obese body approached her: "Mr. Lan, I heard that you have studied the myths and legends of peach blossoms very much, give us a few paragraphs." ”
"Whoever said I'm an atheist."
"Hey, I don't mean anything else, I just want to hear it to relieve fatigue and relieve boredom."
Lan Xinrui looked around and deliberately asked, "Do you want to hear it?" ”
Think, think... The workers shouted and applauded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll tell you a few paragraphs." Lan Xinrui took the mineral water handed over by a worker, took a sip, and opened the conversation like a homely cook. She talked about the fairy bath from the stone forest, and then from the fairy bath to the fairy peach source, and the mysterious stories made the workers listen to it as if they were fascinated. When talking about the walled house, Lan Xinrui deliberately left a suspense: "The walled house is a precious legacy left by the ancestors of the Deng family, and there was a touching love story of people and fairies here. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown. ”
Ay! … The workers sighed, "Mr. Lan, if you don't tell the story, we will have no sleep tonight!" ”
Lan Xinrui said with a smile: "There are many magical stories of peach blossoms, and I really can't finish telling them for a while." Since you're interested, I'll meet your request another day. ”
Boss Bao pressed his hand: "It's not early, Mr. Lan has to go home." Next time, I will definitely ask Mr. Lan to tell you the story of peach blossoms to you old babies, I have to go to work tomorrow, everyone go back to the room to rest! ”
The workers were reluctant to leave.
When the workers were gone, Boss Bao stretched out his thumb and praised: "Mr. Lan, it's so powerful, it's so good and charming, to be honest, I'm still addicted to that seemingly absurd mythological situation." ”
"How does it seem absurd, this mythical legend is already absurd!"
"Otherwise, at least it tells people that the peach blossom is mysterious, which is very beneficial to enhance the tourism value of the peach blossom. As far as I know, every well-known tourist attraction has its mysteries, and the more mysterious they are, the greater the potential value of their tourism. ”
"It seems that Boss Bao is very interested in tourism!"
"Oh no, I just heard your story and suddenly felt it. I guess that you are ready to play the role of these 'mysterious' weapons on the basis of superior natural and human conditions to create a peach blossom tourism brand, which is high, wonderful and strange! ”
Regarding Boss Bao's speculation, Lan Xinrui did not affirm or deny it. She looked up at the moonless night sky but saw the starry night sky, and suddenly retracted her gaze and fell on Boss Bao: "Boss Bao, there is something..."
Without waiting for Lan Xinrui to finish speaking, Boss Bao interjected: "What's the matter?" Need my help? ”
"I'd love to ask you for help."
"Then what's polite, let's say!"
Lan Xinrui paused, sorted out the clues, and said: "Our company has set up a special agricultural products association, the purpose is to promote the traditional agricultural products of peach blossoms to the market, one can help farmers develop production, increase income, improve living standards, and two to promote the development of tourism through traditional special agricultural products, to achieve a win-win situation between tourism and agriculture." The president is the old branch secretary Deng Biao, you have a wide range of skills in this area, and I would like to hire you as the honorary president to assist him in his work. ”
Boss Bao generously agreed: "Okay, I accept your offer." Then he hesitated, "It's just..."
"Are you worried about the old branch secretary?"
Boss Bao nodded: "He is not very easy to contact, and it is said that he has always been obsessed with you on the issue of the election of the village director, I am worried..."
"It's okay, I understand him, it's just that the officialism is too heavy, but the heart is still not bad, and it's not about my personal interests, but about the interests of all the villagers, I don't think he will get along with me in this matter."
Boss Bao smiled bitterly: "It's your business who will be the president, I have no right to intervene, but I will help with this favor, and I will definitely help it, please rest assured Mr. Lan." ”
Lan Xinrui clenched her fists and said, "Thank you, on behalf of Peach Blossom's fathers and fellow villagers, thank you!" ”
"Thank you for not needing, your approval of me joining the ranks of your people will be the greatest gift to me."
"Peach Blossom welcomes you at any time. It's just that the Peach Blossom Temple can't accommodate your big Buddha. ”
"I'm afraid that heaven doesn't accept ordinary people!"
The two of them smiled.
Lan Xinrui looked at her watch with the help of the light: "It's not early, I should go back, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest." ”
"I'll send you."
Lan Xinrui raised her hand and refused: "Thank you, I don't dare to drive you, the heavenly holy land has its own immortal protection, besides, you are used to walking at night, it will be fine, don't worry!" As he spoke, he turned on the flashlight and stepped into the night.
Boss Bao kept watching Lan Xinrui's back until he disappeared into the night.
