Chapter 724: Injured Logic
When Hou Liangping saw Qi Tongwei, the scene of his third grandmother lying injured on the hospital bed involuntarily emerged in his mind, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.
"You are Qi Tongwei, the one who hit my third grandmother with his car, right? Look at your village, it has developed now, but what about your people? They are still so rash in doing things, which makes people worry at all!" Hou Liangping accused loudly.
Qi Tongwei was somewhat overwhelmed by this sudden accusation. He quickly put down the work in his hands and said with a guilty look on his face: "Brother Hou, that was really an accident. I have always felt guilty and have been trying to make up for it. In the past few years, our village has been able to achieve what it has today. Everyone cherishes it and is working hard to make it better."
"Hmph, that sounds nice! Accident? Why did the accident happen to you? People like you are only concerned with making money and have thrown basic morals and responsibilities to the back of your minds!" Hou Liangping didn't listen to Qi Tongwei's explanation at all and continued to speak angrily.
The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers, and everyone gathered around. Some villagers tried to persuade Hou Liangping, explaining to him the changes in the village in recent years and everyone's efforts; some villagers stood on Qi Tongwei's side, thinking that Hou Liangping was a bit too harsh. After all, it had been so long since the incident happened, and everyone was trying their best to make amends. For a while, the atmosphere at the scene became very tense, with quarrels and persuasions intertwined.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, the village chief rushed over. The village chief was a respected old man, and he knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would have a serious negative impact on the development of the village. He first asked everyone to calm down, and then said to Hou Liangping: "Brother Hou, I know you are still a little dissatisfied with what happened before, which is human nature. But you have also seen the changes in our village in recent years. Everyone is working hard to correct their mistakes and make the village better. We are very grateful for everything you have done for the village before, and we hope that you can give us a chance to let us use practical actions to prove our determination."
The words of the village chief calmed Hou Liangping down a little. He looked at the villagers around him who were full of expectation and nervousness, and his heart was also a little shaken. After all, during the time he had been in contact with the village, he had also seen the simplicity and kindness of the villagers, as well as their efforts for the development of the village.
"Okay, village chief, I will trust you again. But I hope you can do what you say and don't let me down again." After Hou Liangping said this, he turned and left.
Although the disturbance has subsided temporarily, it has sounded the alarm for the villagers. Everyone realized that the development of the village is not only about economic growth, but more importantly, the improvement of the quality of the villagers and the cultivation of their moral cultivation. Therefore, the village chief decided to carry out a series of moral education activities in the village, inviting the elders of the village to tell stories of the past and pass on the fine traditions of the village; at the same time, the villagers were organized to learn laws and regulations and civilized etiquette knowledge to improve everyone's legal awareness and moral level.
In this process, the villagers actively participated and seriously reflected on their own behavior. Everyone began to pay more attention to their own words and deeds, and became more tolerant and understanding of each other. The atmosphere in the village became more harmonious and this good atmosphere also attracted more tourists and partners.
As time went on, the village welcomed a new development opportunity. A famous director took a fancy to the unique martial arts cultural atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery of the village and decided to shoot a large-scale martial arts movie here. This is undoubtedly a great publicity opportunity for the village.
The villagers were very excited when they heard the news. They actively cooperated with the crew's filming and provided venues, props and extras. During the filming, the villagers witnessed the entire process of film production and gained a deeper understanding of the development of the cultural industry. After the filming was completed, it caused a huge sensation across the country. The Knight Village has therefore become a martial arts holy land in the minds of many tourists, and the number of tourists has once again increased significantly.
In order to meet the needs of tourists, the village has further improved its infrastructure construction. A modern tourist service center has been built to provide more convenient tourism consultation and services; the roads in the village have been widened to facilitate tourists' travel; at the same time, more tourism projects have been developed, such as the martial arts-themed immersive experience area and the folk culture exhibition hall, so that tourists can have a deeper understanding of the cultural connotation of the chivalrous village.
While the economy is developing, the village has not neglected the development of education and culture. A new modern school has been built in the village, equipped with advanced teaching equipment and an excellent teaching team, providing a better learning environment for children. The school also offers special courses related to martial arts culture and traditional culture to cultivate children's love for and awareness of inheritance of their hometown culture.
In addition, the village has also established a cultural and art association to organize villagers to carry out various cultural activities, such as art performances, calligraphy and painting competitions, traditional martial arts performances, etc. These activities not only enrich the villagers' spare time, but also further promote the cultural characteristics of the knight village and enhance the villagers' cultural confidence and cohesion.
Looking back, the village has experienced countless hardships, from poverty and backwardness to prosperity, from conflicts of interest to unity, and every step has been extremely difficult. But it is these experiences that have taught the villagers to cherish and be grateful, and have made them more determined to pursue a better life.
Looking to the future, the villagers of Xiake Village are full of confidence.
Children learned the spirit of chivalry in traditional martial arts performances, and every move showed their heroic spirit; calligraphy and painting competitions unearthed many folk masters, and works depicting rural scenery and martial arts legends hung all over the village's cultural corridor; the art performances were even more lively, with operas, sketches and other programs directed and performed by the villagers, passing on ancient stories and folk customs, and laughter and applause intertwined and echoed over the village.
As the village develops rapidly, the conflicts of interest have become the cornerstone of growth. However, new problems are also emerging. The prosperity of the village has attracted some commercial investment from outsiders, including some businessmen who only want to make quick profits and ignore the long-term development and cultural protection of the village. They proposed some seemingly attractive cooperation plans, but in fact they were full of mysteries, such as over-exploitation of tourism resources and change of the original simple style of the village, which triggered new concerns and discussions among the villagers.
