Chapter 837 Observation Deck
Xiaohu and Qi Tongwei hurried down the viewing platform and headed towards the source of the sound. They saw a luxury car parked at the entrance of the village. Several people in suits got out of the car, with arrogant looks on their faces.
"You are from this village, right?" said a middle-aged man in the lead. "We are representatives of a large tourism development company, and we are interested in your land. As long as you are willing to sell the land to us, we guarantee to give you a satisfactory price."
Xiaohu's expression changed slightly: "Our village will not sell the land. This land is our root and we must protect it."
The middle-aged man sneered: "Don't refuse a toast. After this land is developed, it will bring you countless wealth. Then you will know how stupid you are."
Qi Tongwei walked forward and looked at the middle-aged man with a firm gaze: "Young man, wealth is not the standard for measuring everything. We protect this land to pass on the spirit of our ancestors and for the happiness of future generations. Go away, you are not welcome here."
The middle-aged man's face turned very ugly: "Okay, just wait, there will be a day when you will regret it." After that, he got into the car with his men and drove away.
Xiao Hu looked at the car going away, feeling a little worried: "Grandpa Qi, they won't let this go. What should we do?"
Qi Tongwei patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, kid. We were able to defeat the Thirteen Ghosts back then, and we can handle these difficulties now. As long as we unite as one, nothing can defeat us."
In the following days, the village strengthened its vigilance. Everyone knew that a new challenge was coming. But they did not retreat at all, but instead strengthened their determination to protect their homeland.
At the same time, Xiaohu and Qi Tongwei began to look for solutions. They visited surrounding villages and asked other villagers for advice. They also consulted a lot of books, hoping to find inspiration to solve the problem.
By chance, Xiaohu found a record about the underground water source of the village in an ancient book. It turned out that there was a mysterious underground river under the village. The river water had magical power, which could nourish all things and resist the invasion of the outside world.
Xiaohu excitedly told Qi Tongwei about his discovery: "Grandpa Qi, you see, maybe we can use this underground river to protect the village."
Qi Tongwei carefully studied the records in the ancient books, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Xiaohu, your discovery is too important. We can set up some defense facilities along the flow of the underground river and use the power of the river to stop those who try to destroy our village."
So, Xiaohu and Qi Tongwei led the villagers to start intensive preparations. They dug ditches along the route of the underground river and set up some ingenious mechanisms. At the same time, they also planted some plants with special functions around the village, which not only beautified the environment, but also played an early warning role.
After everything was ready, the atmosphere in the village became extremely tense. Everyone was waiting for the next move of the tourism development company.
Finally, on a sunny day, the tourism development company sent people to the village again. This time, they brought more people and some advanced equipment.
"You'd better hand over your land obediently. You can't escape today." The middle-aged man said proudly.
Qi Tongwei stood in front of the village and said loudly: "Don't dream, we will not let you destroy our home."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and his men immediately took action. They tried to force their way into the village, but as soon as they reached the edge of the village, they triggered the mechanism set up by the villagers. The water from the underground river gushed out of the ditch, forming a natural barrier that kept them out.
The plants that had the function of early warning also played a role. They emitted a special smell that made the people from the tourism development company dizzy. They struggled outside for a long time but still could not break through the village's defense line.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the middle-aged man had to leave with his men in disgrace. The people in the village cheered and rejoiced. They used wisdom and unity to protect their homeland again.
After this incident, the villagers cherished their current life even more. They understood that no matter how many difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as they united as one and held on to their beliefs, they would be able to protect this land and keep it full of vitality forever.
Qi Tongwei's story will continue to be passed down on this land and become a spiritual pillar to inspire generations of villagers.
After so many ups and downs, this piece of land has always been his most solid support and the home of his soul. He picked up the hoe and began to plow the land, and every swing brought with it the memories of the past and the expectations of the future life.
"Grandpa Qi, you are busy again!" Xiaohu came to the edge of the field at some point. He looked at Qi Tongwei working, his eyes full of admiration.
Qi Tongwei straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, the land cannot be left to waste. It is our foundation."
Xiaohu took the hoe from Qi Tongwei's hand and said, "Grandpa Qi, take a break, I'll help you." As he said that, he started to turn the soil in an orderly manner.
In between work, Qi Tongwei slowly said: "Xiao Hu, do you know? Farming is not just for harvesting food, there is a lot of knowledge involved. Just like protecting the village, every link must be carefully considered and no carelessness is allowed."
Xiaohu listened carefully while working: "Grandpa Qi, please tell me quickly."
"Look at this land, it's just like our village, it needs careful care. Before sowing, we need to plow the land and remove weeds, just like we want to eliminate hidden dangers in the village. Seeds are like our beliefs, only by sowing good seeds can we harvest hope." Qi Tongwei said earnestly.
"What about watering and fertilizing? What does it look like?" Xiaohu asked curiously.
"Watering and fertilizing are like the support and help we provide in the development of the village. We must provide nutrients in a timely manner according to the needs of the land and seeds so that they can thrive. The development of the village is the same. We need to continuously invest energy and resources to get better and better." Qi Tongwei explained patiently.
While they were talking, an unexpected guest suddenly came to the village. This man was called Zhao Fugui, a wealthy businessman from a neighboring village. He heard about the village's rejection of the tourism development company and had his eyes on the village's land.
