292: Chapter 291: Another Poor Mountain Village 292: Chapter 291: Another Poor Mountain Village “Boss Wang, you’re walking too fast!
Even we, who are used to walking through mountainous paths, can’t keep up with you!”
Under the sunset glow, they arrived in a slightly larger village compared to Green Water Village.
“I told you, you couldn’t outpace !” Peter Brown laughed and joked with a young man.
Along the way, everyone bet Peter Brown wouldn’t be able to reach the village, but he walked effortlessly, not breaking a sweat.
“I give up, Boss Wang is truly amazing!”
“See?
I told you I could do it!” Peter Brown laughed heartily.
The villagers initially wanted to challenge him in walking the mountain paths but ended up losing.
Peter Brown even carried a large backpack on his shoulders, making the villagers blush.
Along the way, Peter Brown experienced the pleasant spiritual energy here, feeling much better than in the city.
However, at first glance, Peter Brown saw a lifeless mountain village without vitality.
Looking closely at the houses, they were low, dilapidated, and their roofs were covered with weeds.
Another impoverished mountain village!
On the way, Peter Brown learned about the village’s situation.
Due to its isolation, none of the villagers had ever left, and many had never even been to the county town.
Thus, they were unaware of the outside world.
Hunting was an essential survival thod in the village.
In the past, there were many wild animals to hunt, but now the number was dwindling.
So crops, especially corn, had beco an important food source for the village.
Of course, the governnt provided so assistance, but the villagers had to carry supplies back from the township themselves.
There were eighty-one families in the village, totaling three hundred and thirteen people.
Along the way, Peter Brown talked to everyone about the village’s situation while observing its scenery.
Putting aside the village’s poverty, Peter Brown was still confident in its potential.
The village boasted stunning landscapes, with clear river waters, a vast bamboo forest in the mountains, and nurous scenic spots.
If properly developed, there wouldn’t be any problems.
Seeing Peter Brown surveying the village, Scott Taylor said: “Boss Wang, it’s rare for soone to visit our village.
Even the leaders in the township rarely co because of the difficult mountain roads.”
“Mom!”
At that mont, several young people ran over, led by a girl whose appearance was unclear.
She shouted towards Daisy Parker.
“What are you yelling for?
Your dad is fine.”
Daisy Parker hugged the girl and smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes.
“Is Rohan alright?” An old man also ca over.
“Dad, he’s fine, he’s fine.”
Scott Taylor was happy as he loudly replied.
More people ca over.
Peter Brown observed the worn clothes on everyone and the straw shoes on their feet.
Seeing the muddy roads they had traversed, Peter Brown’s understanding of the village deepened.
“Village chief, this is Boss Wang who saved my younger brother.” Scott Taylor saw an old man wearing a worn-out garnt approaching and quickly spoke to him.
The old man looked at Peter Brown and revealed a smile on his face: “Good, good, good!”
“Boss Wang, the conditions in our village are not very good.
You can stay at our house, although it may be uncomfortable.”
Peter Brown smiled and said, “It’s fine.
There’s nothing uncomfortable about it.
Staying anywhere is the sa.”
As they were talking, they arrived at Sun’s house.
After arriving, Peter Brown learned that although the Sun family had separated, they still lived in the sa place, only separated by so mud bricks.
“How can we stay at your house?
Boss Wang saved your brother, so we should stay at our house.”
Daisy Parker was unhappy and started arguing with Scott Taylor.
When Peter heard their argunt, he smiled and said, “I’ll stay at Scott’s place.”
With Peter’s words, everyone stopped arguing.
After Scott entered the house, he happily said, “Boss Wang, you have co a long way.
Today, I must treat you well.
The day before yesterday, I went hunting in the mountains and shot a few mountain chickens.
I sold two of them and dried the other two.
Today, I will cook wild chicken for you.”
Scott didn’t use the 1,000 dollars to treat his brother’s illness, but he did buy a lot of food and carried it back.
Now, his face was full of smiles.
Due to his persistence, he found Peter to cure his brother.
In the hearts of his brother’s family, they were also filled with gratitude for him.
At this ti, Peter took off the backpack he had been carrying and said, “I also brought a lot of stuff with , haha.
Look, there is oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, noodles, rice, and at.
Just get so more vegetables and invite everyone who is coming today to have a good al.”
Scott didn’t expect Peter to bring so much stuff.
He was taken aback and said, “Boss Wang, you brought so much stuff.
We would have treated you well when you ca to our mountain.”
“It’s okay, I enjoy doing this.”
After talking for a while, Scott finally sighed, “Boss Wang, I don’t know what to say.
Well, today we won’t return unless we are drunk!”
When they actually started eating, Peter realized that the villagers had prepared a big pot and put everything in it.
They cooked a pot of vegetables in it, and the villagers took out jars of wine.
Everyone started dancing around the pot.
Adults and children finally had so vitality at this mont, with laughter and joy everywhere.
Seeing the villagers like this, Peter felt a bit sad.
He knew that this was like a festival for the villagers.
As expected, Village Chief Joseph Carter smiled and said to Peter, “Boss Wang, our village hasn’t been this happy for a long ti.
You brought so much stuff, everyone is happy!”
Peter knew they were talking about the things he had brought with him.
“Village Chief, this village still needs developnt.
This is not good.” Peter sighed.
Joseph Carter sighed as well and said, “We’ve thought about developnt too.
But you’ve seen the situation here.
We’re isolated, and our level of education is not high.
To be honest, we used to have a substitute teacher, but now even the substitute teacher has left.
There aren’t many people who can read and write.
It’s really hard for everyone to think of ways to develop.”
Upon hearing this, Peter could only sigh at the difficult conditions here.
Everyone drank bowl after bowl of wine, and Peter found that the locals had a good tolerance for alcohol.
“This wine is corn wine, quite strong.
Boss Wang, can you drink it?”
Peter laughed and said, “Great wine!”
“Boss Wang, we’ve heard about your achievents.
You’ve led Flower Creek Village and Green Water Village to develop.
Now that you’re here, it’s great.
Please help us, too.
If you can help our village develop, that would be wonderful.”
Hearing the village chief’s words, everyone’s eyes rested on Peter.
It was clear that the villagers truly hoped for soone to lead them to developnt.
Seeing the burning desire in everyone’s eyes, Peter couldn’t dampen their enthusiasm.
He stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll say a few words.”
Hearing that Peter was about to speak, Village Chief Joseph Carter said loudly, “Watch your own children and keep quiet.
Listen to Boss Wang speak.”
For a mont, everyone quieted down, and their eyes were fixed on Peter.
In their eyes was vitality and energy, which made Peter feel the weight of responsibility in his heart.
