C432 – Are You Sure You Can Do That?
The old village chief arrived soon. Not only him, but there were also many other villagers behind him. Everyone wanted to hear Zhang Xiaolong’s words with their own ears.
“Don’t worry, everyone. I am a farr, and I have walked out from a poor place like us. I know what everyone is hoping for. What I said to Brother Liu Gui just now is true. However, we have to take it step by step. Or rather, we have to split up. It won’t be possible to grow the dicinal herbs here in a day or two. Furthermore, I have to deal with the school matters first. Solving the problem of the teachers is a big problem. The sooner we solve it, the sooner the children will be able to study. What do you think?” Zhang Xiaolong asked.
“Yes, yes. This is a serious matter. We have been poor for several lifetis. We are not afraid of being poor for a few more years. However, the children can’t afford to be delayed. This is what we should do.” The old village chief nodded his head. Although the villagers behind him were anxious, they could understand.
Zhang Xiaolong continued, “We won’t wait for a few more years. This matter of growing dicinal herbs is a temporary idea that I ca up with. As for what to plant, I will go back and investigate. As for where to plant it, we will need to discuss it with everyone. However, I can guarantee that this thod will definitely work. This matter will be left to . The only thing I need to clarify is that it might be more troubleso than growing food in the beginning period. Everyone will have to take care of it!”
“That’s great!”
“As long as I can make money, I can guard it every day!”
“Don’t even talk about guarding it. I can even build a shop there!”
The villagers were relieved. Their faces were beaming with smiles. This was probably the happiest news they had heard in the past year.
“Hey, can you do it?” Lee Yan was also quite enthusiastic, but seeing the hope in the villagers’ eyes, she was a little worried.
The matter of the school was indeed an encouragent to everyone. However, as long as Zhang Xiaolong could fork out another sum of money, it would be fine. It was not as simple as planting dicinal herbs.
However, it was obvious that everyone’s hope was placed on the dicinal herbs. They were counting on Zhang Xiaolong’s thod to make money. Only then would they have hope to let their children go to school in peace. If Zhang Xiaolong’s thod did not work, these people would probably be in despair.
Lee Yan was a policewoman. She had seen too many cases of people walking down the wrong path because of despair. Many of them did not reach the point where they were at the end of their tether. It was just that the person was unable to accept the fact that their future hope had been destroyed.
If they could not do it, then the best way was to not give others hope. The greater the hope, the greater the blow to the person. This blow was often not sothing that anyone could bear.
“It will definitely work. Even if it doesn’t, I have to do it,” Zhang Xiaolong said confidently. “Even if I have to move here personally for a year, I will still make this place work.”
“You want to stay here for a year? Are you not going to school anymore?” Lee Yan was slightly surprised. She did not understand why Zhang Xiaolong had such a deep attachnt to this place.
Zhang Xiaolong could not help but laugh, “Captain Lee, are you really looking forward to it? I was just making an analogy, but I know that it will definitely work. This place is suitable for the growth of many dicinal herbs. Now, I just need to investigate the price of the dicinal herbs outside and determine the type of herbs to plant. I also have soone who knows about the dicinal herbs wholesale. I could have just called him, but the phone is not working.”
Lee Yan finally understood why he was so confident. It turned out that he had also gotten involved in this aspect.
Oh, right. Zhang Xiaolong was originally an Acupuncture Expert, and his Flying Needle Unique Skill was very powerful. This was also sothing that appeared during the exchange of pointers in TCM. It was not surprising that an expert in TCM was related to the sales of dicinal herbs.
“You seem to be very good to the people here.” Lee Yan voiced out her doubts.
“Not really. I just thought of so problems.” Zhang Xiaolong seed to be lanting his own experiences, “I ca from the countryside and took Clear River Village step by step. Now, my business is making money, but my vision has already shifted from Clear River Village to one city after another. The Divine Dragon Great Restaurant has opened more than ten branches, and it has indeed brought about the developnt of Clear River Village and the neighboring villages. However, I forgot that there are still many places in the world that are poorer than Clear River Village. The money in the city will never be enough, but to , this money is just a number. I forgot my dream. I want all the farrs in the world to be rich. This place will be my new beginning.”
“You…” Lee Yan thought for a long ti, but she didn’t know what to say. In the end, she could only helplessly advise him, “Your standards are too high. It’s already good enough for soone as rich as you to rember to bring your hotown to prosperity. You don’t have to treat yourself as a saint. This makes feel that I’m not a good person.”
Zhang Xiaolong laughed out loud, “To be able to make Officer Lee say sothing like that, I instantly feel that I’m still very tall.”
“Hey, can you stop calling Captain Lee and Officer Lee? Do I not have a na?” Lee Yan said angrily.
“Isn’t this a form of respect to the people?” Zhang Xiaolong deliberately said.
“Then, should I call you Mr. Zhang or Boss Zhang every day?” Lee Yan asked.
“It’s not impossible.” Zhang Xiaolong laughed.
Lee Yan gritted her teeth, wanting to bite him to death.
Ever since she was saved by Zhang Xiaolong in Cheng Jiang’s hands, she had a subtle change in her heart. Although she knew that this was not appropriate, she still had so expectations. However, there seed to be a huge gap between her and Zhang Xiaolong. Not to ntion the close relationship, they were not even friends. At least, they were not calling each other ‘Officer’ every day.
“That’s right.” Lee Yan suddenly thought of sothing, “We are here to catch Cheng Jiang. I don’t know if this person has escaped or not. If he is still hiding in the mountains, the nearby villagers will be in danger, especially those girls!”
“Don’t worry. If he leaves, even if we return to the mountains now, it will be difficult to find his whereabouts.” Zhang Xiaolong’s expression turned serious, “But if he is still in the mountains, I will make sure he won’t be able to leave!”
……
The next day, Yan Zi brought Zhang Xiaolong and Lee Yan to the Hope School, which was located five kiloters away from the mountain range.
The fog was not very heavy today. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the fog, illuminating the mountain range with a hazy light.
“Is it always like this?” Lee Yan asked, “Then, if the fog continues to be like this, how do you guys get out?”
“No, it’s not like that. The fog is very common, but it’s not all day. Usually, it’s like this. Everyone is used to it. If you go out in such a fog, you won’t get lost. The only thing to be afraid of is the fog that lasts for several days. At that ti, even if you are familiar with the mountain road, you won’t dare to go out. Everyone says that there are demons in the mountains, and the fog is a sign that demons are coming out. That’s why no one goes out in such weather.” Yan Zi explained the legends about the mountains.
When they reached the Hope School, they found that there were already many people there. Other than the children, there were also so villagers, including the old village chief who they saw yesterday.
There was also soone familiar with Zhang Xiaolong.
