Chapter 819 Protecting the Future

This time, the villagers nodded in agreement. They realized that protecting nature is protecting their own future. So, while rebuilding their homes, the villagers actively participated in the action of protecting nature. They planted trees on the mountain and restored damaged vegetation; they formulated village rules and regulations to limit excessive reclamation and logging.

As time went by, the natural environment around the village gradually improved. The mountains and forests became lush, the rivers became clear, and the village's ecosystem gradually regained its balance. During this process, Qi Tongwei also kept thinking about the future development direction of the village. He realized that it would be difficult for the village to achieve sustainable development by relying solely on traditional agricultural production.

Qi Tongwei began to investigate and learn from other places. He found that some places not only protected the natural environment but also promoted the development of the local economy by developing ecotourism. He felt that this model was very suitable for his village.

After returning to the village, Qi Tongwei proposed the idea of ​​developing ecotourism to the villagers. "Fellow villagers, our village has beautiful natural scenery and rich folk culture, which are our advantages in developing ecotourism. We can use these resources to attract tourists to visit, which can not only increase income but also better protect our natural environment."

The villagers were both excited and worried about this idea. They were excited because they saw new development opportunities, but they were worried because they lacked relevant experience and didn't know how to implement it. Qi Tongwei understood the villagers' concerns and decided to organize some villagers to learn relevant knowledge and skills about ecotourism.

Under the leadership of Qi Tongwei, the villagers actively participated in the preparations for ecotourism. They built homestays, developed special tourist routes, and integrated traditional folk culture into the tourism projects. After a period of hard work, the village's ecotourism project was finally officially launched.

With the arrival of the first batch of tourists, the village became lively. Tourists were attracted by the natural scenery and folk culture of the village and praised the village's eco-tourism projects. The villagers' income increased significantly by operating homestays and selling specialty agricultural products.

"Tongwei, I didn't expect that eco-tourism would really work. Our lives are becoming more and more hopeful!" A villager said to Qi Tongwei with a smile.

Qi Tongwei looked at the lively scene in the village and felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that their efforts were not in vain and the village was striding towards a bright future.

However, the road to development is not smooth. As the number of tourists increases, some new problems also arise. Some tourists do not abide by the village's regulations and destroy the environment at will; some businesses, in pursuit of profit, begin to cut corners and reduce service quality. These problems not only affect the image of the village, but also make Qi Tongwei worried.

Qi Tongwei realized that the management of ecotourism must be strengthened. He organized villagers to formulate strict regulations for tourist management and strengthen supervision and training of merchants. At the same time, he also actively communicated with tourists, promoted the importance of protecting the natural environment, and guided tourists to travel in a civilized manner.

With the joint efforts of Qi Tongwei and the villagers, these problems were gradually solved. The village's ecotourism has developed better and better, becoming a popular tourist attraction in the surrounding areas. Qi Tongwei has also become a core figure in the development of the village, and his name is known throughout the village.

As the village developed, Qi Tongwei was not satisfied with the status quo. He knew that in order for the village to continue to prosper, it must continue to innovate and progress. He began to pay attention to the development of agricultural technology, introduced advanced planting techniques and equipment, and improved the yield and quality of crops.

Under Qi Tongwei's leadership, agricultural production in the village has gradually been modernized. Intelligent irrigation systems have been installed in the farmland, and the processing and sales of agricultural products have formed a complete industrial chain. The living standards of the villagers have been continuously improved, and the appearance of the village has been completely renewed.

Many years later, Qi Tongwei stood on the observation deck of the village and looked down at the whole village. In the village, modern buildings and natural scenery complement each other, tourists are having fun in the village, and villagers are living and working in peace and contentment. He thought of himself who was once lost in the vortex of power, thought of Hou Liangping, and thought of the ups and downs they had experienced together.

"Liangping, do you see it? Our village has become a beautiful home where people and nature live in harmony. We not only overcame the disaster, but also realized our dreams." Tears flashed in Qi Tongwei's eyes, tears of happiness and relief.

During the years when the village was booming, Qi Tongwei had been running around and busy with the village's affairs. This time, he came to an unfamiliar city to investigate the agricultural product market. It was getting late, so he found a hotel on the outskirts of the city that looked fairly clean and stayed there.

This hotel is quite old, and the corridor is filled with an old atmosphere. The lights are dim and dim, flickering from time to time, as if they will go out at any time. Qi Tongwei dragged his tired body into the room, washed up briefly, and prepared to rest.

In the middle of the night, Qi Tongwei was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. The sound was like someone crying softly, or like the whistling of the wind through the dilapidated window, vague and intermittent. He thought he had heard it wrong, turned over and tried to fall asleep again. However, the sound became clearer and clearer, gradually turning into a sharp wail, as if it was echoing in his ears.

Qi Tongwei suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He turned on the bedside lamp, which seemed particularly dim amidst the strange sound. Everything in the room was normal, and there was nothing unusual. But the sound showed no signs of stopping, but became stronger. He mustered up his courage, put on his clothes, and decided to go out and take a look.

When he opened the door, the corridor was empty. The lights flickered more violently, and the shadows on the wall swayed, as if something was watching him from the dark. Qi Tongwei walked slowly along the corridor, and with every step he took, the sound seemed to be closer. He came to the end of the corridor and found a tightly closed door. The sound seemed to come from behind this door.

Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold the door handle. The door handle was icy cold. He took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open. Behind the door was a small storage room filled with all kinds of sundries. In the corner of the storage room, there was a shabby wooden box with the lid half open, emitting a faint green light.

Qi Tongwei walked over curiously, squatted down, and carefully opened the wooden box. Inside the box was a yellowed diary, the paper was so fragile that it almost broke at the touch.
