Chapter 209: The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring

Qin Yi shook his head, "I think that having a few more heart eyes is not a bad thing at least? ”

"It's not a problem to be smart, you have to be smart to the right place, no matter what, it's not a good thing for people to be lazy, right?"

Sometimes, when you encounter bad people and bad things, you can't let them go, you can't be insensitive, you can't turn a blind eye, right? ”

Qin Yi didn't seem to hear Lu Shaoyu speak, and continued his train of thought.

Listening to Qin Yi's words, Lu Shaoyu's lips moved and he didn't speak.

Qin Yi looked at the patriarch and asked, "Patriarch, what do you say?"

The patriarch looked at Qin Yi and then at Lu Shaoyu, "I look at that! How do you say this? Actually, that's what happened." ”

Listening to the patriarch's words, Qin Yi wanted to be happy in his heart. I don't know what that's all about?

This reminded Qin Yi of a joke. It is said that there is a family that likes a noble son, and the three of them go to this person's house together. One man said that this child would definitely live a long life. The man who says this is trying to please his master, to flatter. One man said that the child would die sooner or later. Although he was telling the truth, the person who said this must not have a good impression of the family. The third person looked at the two people who had just finished speaking, and neither of them wanted to offend, so he said, "This child, this child, how much is this child?" Qin Yi felt that the patriarch in front of him was very much like the third person in the joke.

"Mr. Qin, you just asked this person why he changed. The patriarch said that he had learned badly from outsiders, but I don't think that's the case. I've really been thinking about this matter seriously for a while, and I've figured it out, I'm afraid that you, Mr. Qin, won't be happy when I say it?"

"Brother Lu, where is it? What are you not happy about? What do you understand? Just say it, I really want to hear it. Qin Yi said sincerely.

"It's because we dug a cave and opened the way out of the mountain?......

Before Lu Shaoyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the patriarch: "Shaoyu, how can you say that? How much does it hurt Mr. Qin's heart to say this? The whole village will not agree? Can you get out of the mountains without building a path? Can you see the world outside without building a path? You can't say that, but you don't dare to say that!"

"Uncle, I also know that this road has been repaired well, if you want to say that in this village, who has contributed more to this road construction, except for Mr. Qin, that is, me, right?

Lu Shaoyu and the patriarch are also from his own family, and uncle is his title for the patriarch.

Qin Yi said: "Brother Lu is right, if you want to say who will contribute more to the construction of the road, I really may not be able to catch up with you, Brother Lu can say whatever he wants, I really want to hear it." ”

Lu Shaoyu said: "Then I'll just say it?"

"Please say, it's okay, you can say whatever you want, there's nothing you can't say. Qin Yi encouraged the landing to rain less.

"If the road is blocked, most of the people in this village will not be able to walk out of the mountain, and they will not be able to see the flowers and greenery outside the mountain. You can't be as cranky as you are now. For example, in the past, who in our village knew money, who took money seriously, and now they are all about to get into the eyes of money. Who of us didn't know that in the past, after collecting medicinal herbs, at the beginning, there were no rewards and commissions, and everyone happily handed them over to Mr. Qin.

"However, some people have taken money, and except for a few of us, not everyone else has gone to change the money. Later, we also gave cash here, and we gave a lot more, but they all ran back. Mr. Qin, don't they still distribute the medicinal materials they collected for salt or something? When they eat salt, why doesn't anyone say that they haven't handed over the medicinal materials and don't have the face to eat salt?"

"Brother Lu, we didn't emphasize that this matter must be handed over to us, and there is nothing wrong with the big guy handing it over anywhere. Qin Yi said.

Walking out of the mountains and seeing the world outside, the patriarch has gained insight and accepted a lot of new things, can it be regarded as a bad thing? Qin Yi did not approve of Lu Shaoyu's words, and he did not want to argue about this matter.

"You two said that everyone is working in the field and refuses to contribute, does it have anything to do with building roads and walking out of the mountains?" Qin Yi asked.

"These two things don't seem to be related. Lu Shaoyu said.

The old patriarch said, "What else does it seem like, it's something that has nothing to do with the wind and horses?"

"Uncle, Mr. Qin, have you heard, Lao Sun's family is moving away. ”

The patriarch and Qin Yi knew that the old Sun family that Lu Shaoyu was talking about was the family that collected medicinal materials from the villagers.

"Really?" Qin Yi really hadn't heard.

"I already knew, Sun Mancang told me that when they left, they would invite the whole village to have a meal, which could be regarded as repaying them for taking them in when they were suffering. The patriarch said.

"Brother Lu, I remember that the house in Sun Mancang's hometown was not washed away by the flood, did he want to go back to his hometown and rebuild it?" Qin Yi asked.

"Mr. Qin, no, he didn't move back to his hometown, he moved to the county seat. Lu Shaoyu said.

"Sun Mancang's family moved to the county seat?" Qin Yi didn't know why.

Lu Shaoyu said: "Sun Mancang bought a house and land in the north of the county, hasn't he made some money collecting medicinal herbs in the village in the past few years? ”

Qin Yi had long known that Lu Shaoyu was a well-informed person in this village, and it seemed that he knew a lot.

The patriarch was most worried about the problem of eating for the people in the village, and Qin Yi had solved it, and he was relaxed. Lu Shaoyu was also very happy because of this, although there was no food on the table, the three of them drank until late.

The patriarch drank a little too much and walked a little stumbling, so Lu Shaoyu volunteered to send the patriarch home.

After the two of them left, Qin Yi saw that it was not early, so he hastily cleaned up, washed and went to bed.

Was it because he had drunk, or was it because he was always thinking about things in his head? Qin Yi couldn't sleep for a long time.

What's going on, the Peach Blossom Spring Story written by the poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty always comes to mind?

Many years ago, when Qin Yi read this immortal work, he was deeply fascinated. Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring is written: During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a fisherman in Wuling County, who sailed along the stream and forgot the distance of the journey.

Suddenly, I came across a peach blossom forest, the flowers and plants were fresh and beautiful, and the fallen flowers were scattered on the ground one after another. The fisherman was amazed by the sight before him, and continued to move forward to the end of the forest, but when he came to the source of the stream, a mountain appeared in front of him.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a hole in the mountain, and there is a bright light in the hole. The fisherman was curious, so he got out of the boat and walked into the hole. At first, the hole was narrow enough for only one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became open and bright.

Walking out of the cave, what he saw was a flat and wide land, rows of neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds and marshes, mulberry trees connected to bamboo forests, field paths intertwined, birds and flowers, chickens and dogs barking each other. People come and go in the fields, ploughing and working.

Men and women wore the same clothes as people outside the mountains. The elderly and children are all comfortable and happy, and they are happy.

When the villagers saw the fisherman, they were very surprised and asked where the fisherman came from. Someone in the village warmly invited the fisherman to his house as a guest, and prepared wine and chicken cooking to entertain him. When the other people in the village heard that outsiders were coming, they also came to inquire about the news.

The fishermen themselves said that their ancestors had taken their wives and children to this isolated place to escape the wars of the Qin period, and never went out again, thus cutting off contact with the outside world.

They asked what dynasty the fishermen were, and they didn't even know that there was a Han, let alone a Wei and Jin dynasty. The fisherman told them everything he knew, and when they heard it, they were all very emotional.

After that, the rest of the people took turns to invite the fisherman to their home, and brought out wine, good food and good food to entertain the fisherman. The fisherman stayed for a few days before leaving the village. ......

Since he was a child, he has been wandering around hiding in Tibet with his master, and Qin Yi especially wants to go to a place like the one described in the Peach Blossom Spring. Every family has a field to plant, and people get along with each other, with little support and old people to rely on. There is no fraud, no mutual calculation, no one harms, and no one needs to watch out for whom all day. Therefore, when he fled to Feng County, he met Uncle Tian and Xiaoyan, and when he heard about this place, he immediately attracted his attention to this place. Because, he thought of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring.

After coming here, he began to be disappointed, because what he saw was barren mountains and mountains, and the poor life of the villagers. However, after staying here, he soon discovered the abundance of resources, which were just waiting for people to develop.

If there is no ready-made one, why can't he change it by himself? Why can't he create a better life through hard work? So, he tried to lead the villagers to build terraces and solve the problem of eating. So he taught the villagers to pick herbs and sell them outside the mountains in exchange for salt and other necessities. In the end, he thought that it was the mountains that blocked the way for everyone to live a good life, and led the villagers to open the road and walk out of the mountains.

After so many years of hard work, the place has changed dramatically. Qin Yi is happy for the mountains and rivers here, and Qin Yi is happy for the villagers. He felt that he had lived a fulfilling life and felt a sense of accomplishment.

But now, the situation in the village has left him confused. What's going on? What's wrong? What should he do? What else can he do but find a way to solve the problem of eating for the villagers?

This place has changed, the barren land has become the rice grain river, and the barren mountains and mountains have become Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source. However, what he didn't expect was that this person had also changed, and he didn't feel it at first, but when he looked back, he was shocked that the change was so great.

Is it getting better or is it getting worse? He really doesn't know? But there is a reality, and he can't help but see that there is less grain in the field, and it has changed from having more than enough food every year to having no overnight food in every household. If it's a natural disaster, there's nothing to say? But no? Why is this happening? Why do people change?

Qin Yi couldn't help but admit that the patriarch and Lu Shaoyu were right, one was influenced by outsiders. It turns out that when the people here are assimilating outsiders, they are also quietly changed by outsiders. It can be said that these often occur unconsciously and unconsciously, and are so-called imperceptible.

The other is to go out of the mountains, see the outside world, and be influenced by the outside world. And both of these aspects are related to one thing, that is, the construction of roads. Obviously, if the road is not built, people from outside will not be able to enter easily, and if the road is not built, the vast majority of people will not be able to see the outside world.

Qin Yi suddenly thought that Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden was so beautiful because it was isolated from the world. And the folk customs here are so simple and lovely, aren't they also blocked by the mountains?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became afraid, was he wrong? Shouldn't he have built the road? If so, has he become a sinner here for the ages?
