Chapter 830 Floating Objects

However, Boss Liu was not willing to give up. He used various connections to try to put pressure on Qi Tongwei and the villagers. Some people even began to spread rumors in the village, saying that Qi Tongwei was deliberately hindering the development of the village and wanted to keep all the benefits for himself.

Facing these rumors, Qi Tongwei felt very uncomfortable. He had contributed so much to the village, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood. But he didn't back down. He believed that as long as he acted uprightly, the rumors would eventually break down.

During this process, Qi Tongwei was also thinking about how to better develop the village. He realized that he could not just rely on rejecting outside development to protect the mountains and forests, but also actively explore a sustainable development path. So he took a few young people and began to investigate and learn from successful ecotourism models in other places.

They visited some places famous for ecological agriculture and rural tourism, and saw that those places protected nature while allowing villagers to live a prosperous life. Qi Tongwei was deeply inspired. After returning to the village, he discussed with the villagers and developed a development plan for his own village.

They decided to develop organic agriculture around the mountains and forests, planting a variety of green vegetables and fruits for tourists to pick; at the same time, they used the traditional buildings in the village to develop characteristic homestays to allow tourists to experience rural life; they also organized villagers to choreograph some folk performances with local characteristics to enrich tourists' travel experience.

In the process of implementing this plan, they also encountered many difficulties. Problems such as lack of funds, insufficient technology, and difficulty in changing villagers' concepts followed one after another. But Qi Tongwei and the villagers were not defeated by these difficulties. They raised funds everywhere, applied for government support projects, invited agricultural experts to the village to guide planting techniques, and went door to door to do ideological work for the villagers.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the village's eco-tourism project has gradually taken off. When the first batch of tourists came to the village, they were full of praise for the green mountains and clear waters and the authentic rural life they experienced. Their praise was spread through the Internet and by word of mouth, attracting more and more people to visit.

As the village became more and more well-known, some companies took the initiative to find Qi Tongwei, hoping to cooperate with the village to jointly develop some environmentally friendly tourism projects without destroying the ecology. After careful consideration, Qi Tongwei selected some suitable partners and put the development of the village on the right track.

However, fate always seemed to test this village. One night, a strange sound suddenly came from the forest, like someone groaning in pain. The next day, some villagers found that some trees in the forest were abnormal, with leaves turning yellow and some strange lines on the trunks.

After learning about this, Qi Tongwei immediately organized everyone to conduct an investigation. They invited a plant expert to test the trees. After some research, the expert frowned and said, "This seems to be a new type of pest, which may be caused by foreign species brought by tourists. This pest is very serious. If it is not controlled in time, the entire mountain forest may be threatened."

The villagers were all panicked when they heard the news. They had paid too much to protect the forest over the years, but now they were facing such a crisis. Qi Tongwei pretended to be calm and comforted everyone: "Don't be afraid. We were not afraid of evil spirits back then, so why should we be afraid of these small pests and diseases? Let's work together to find a solution."

Therefore, Qi Tongwei led the villagers and experts to develop a detailed prevention and control plan. They purchased professional prevention and control equipment and pesticides, sprayed the forests comprehensively, and set up isolation belts around the forests to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.

In the process of preventing and controlling pests and diseases, the villagers guarded the mountains and forests day and night, paying close attention to the condition of the trees. Some of them were responsible for spraying pesticides, some were responsible for monitoring the development of pests and diseases, and some were responsible for taking care of injured trees. With everyone's joint efforts, the pests and diseases were finally brought under control, and the trees in the mountains and forests gradually recovered.

After this crisis, Qi Tongwei and the villagers have a deeper understanding of the importance and difficulty of protecting the mountains and forests. They know that there will be more challenges waiting for them in the future, but as long as everyone unites as one and sticks to their beliefs, they will be able to protect this land and let it continue to bloom.

Many years later, Xiaohu has grown up and become the main force in the development of the village. He stood on the observation deck of the village, overlooking the entire village and the lush mountains and forests. In the village, modern facilities and natural scenery are perfectly integrated, and tourists can enjoy the beauty of nature here; in the mountains and forests, trees are thriving, and various rare animals and plants are thriving on this land.

"Grandpa, do you see it? The land you protect is getting better and better." Xiaohu looked up at the sky and said softly.

Once upon a time, Grandpa Qi Tongwei fought against tree spirit vines and dealt with evil forces in order to protect this land. Those thrilling scenes have now become a source of strength in his heart.

Below the viewing platform, the village is prosperous. A wide asphalt road winds through it, and solar street lights are neatly arranged on the roadside, lighting the way home for villagers and tourists at night. Colorful shared bicycles are parked in designated areas, making it convenient for people to travel around the village. In the village's cultural square, a modern multimedia exhibition center is particularly eye-catching. It not only displays the historical changes of the village, but also uses virtual reality technology to allow tourists to experience the legendary stories of the village in person. In the square, a group of children are laughing and playing beside the musical fountain, while the elderly are sitting on a bench nearby, basking in the sun leisurely, with happy smiles on their faces.

In the forest, researchers are busy working. They come from well-known universities and research institutions across the country and are attracted by the village's unique ecological environment. In this forest, they have set up multiple scientific research monitoring points to conduct in-depth research on the growth habits of rare animals and plants and the balance of the ecosystem. A young researcher, Xiao Li, is concentrating on recording the living habits of a newly discovered rare bird. He excitedly said to his colleagues: "This is simply a natural ecological treasure house. We must study it carefully and contribute our own strength to protecting biodiversity."

However, the development of the village was not smooth sailing. With the booming tourism industry, some new problems have also followed. At the village market, tourists are shoulder to shoulder, and the various special snacks and handicrafts stalls are crowded with people. But at the same time, the amount of garbage generated has also increased sharply, and floating objects have begun to appear in the originally clear streams. In order to pursue profits, some businesses over-package their products, resulting in increasingly serious white pollution.
