They explained in detail to the neighboring villages the pollution problems that the farm might cause, including water pollution, air pollution and the impact on surrounding crops. At the same time, they also invited environmental experts to evaluate the land and issue a professional environmental impact report.
With the iron facts and sincere communication, the neighboring village finally realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to review the lease contract with the company. For Qingshan Village, this incident also sounded the alarm, making them pay more attention to the protection of the surrounding environment and the rational planning of land resources.
After resolving the crisis at the farm, Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei devoted themselves to cooperation negotiations with investors. After several rounds of tough negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the investment details. The investors decided to build a series of projects in Qingshan Village, including high-end homestays, an agricultural product e-commerce platform, and an ecological agriculture research and development center.
With the launch of the project, Qingshan Village ushered in a new construction boom. On the construction site, machines roared and workers were busy everywhere. However, behind this seemingly prosperous scene, new problems quietly emerged.
Some young laborers in the village were attracted by high salaries and joined the construction projects, leaving farmland unattended. The yield of some crops dropped sharply because they missed the best time for planting and harvesting. At the same time, the influx of a large number of outsiders also brought challenges to the village's public security and environmental sanitation.
"What can we do? We can't abandon agriculture just for the sake of development projects." An old farmer approached Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei with great concern.
Xiaoxuan realized the seriousness of the problem, and he and Qi Tongwei quickly convened a village meeting to discuss solutions. After some discussion, they decided to set up a professional agricultural service team composed of experienced farmers in the village to be responsible for unified management of farmland to ensure that agricultural production is not affected. At the same time, they strengthened the management of outsiders and formulated strict public security and health management systems.
While solving internal problems, Qingshan Village's investment projects are also progressing steadily. After the high-end homestay was built, the unique rural style and high-quality services attracted a large number of tourists, and the village's tourism income increased significantly. The launch of the agricultural product e-commerce platform has allowed Qingshan Village's agricultural products to go out of the village and be sold all over the country.
However, as Qingshan Village became more and more well-known, some lawless elements also began to set their sights on it. One night, the village's agricultural product warehouse was suddenly robbed, and a batch of high-quality agricultural products that were about to be shipped were stolen. After Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei learned the news, they immediately called the police and organized villagers to assist the police in the investigation.
After several days of investigation, the police finally identified the suspects. It turned out that they were a group of thieves who were roaming around and specifically targeted well-developed villages. Thanks to the efforts of the police, the stolen agricultural products were recovered and the suspects were punished according to law.
This theft incident made Qingshan Village pay more attention to security prevention. The village installed more advanced monitoring equipment, formed a night patrol team, and strengthened patrols and monitoring of various areas in the village.
In a series of challenges and responses, Qingshan Village gradually grew and matured. Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei also accumulated experience and improved their leadership skills in the process. They knew that the road to rural revitalization was full of hardships, but as long as they stick to their original aspirations and unite the villagers, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.
Another spring has come, and peach blossoms are blooming all over the mountains of Qingshan Village, like a pink cloud. The new investment project has been put on track, the village's economy continues to grow, and the villagers' lives are getting better and better. Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei stood on the observation deck at the entrance of the village, looking at this land full of hope, with a lot of emotion in their hearts.
"Tongwei, although we have experienced many twists and turns along the way, our efforts have not been in vain." Xiaoxuan said with emotion.
Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded: "Yes, there will be more challenges in the future, but I believe that as long as we work together, the future of Qingshan Village will be even brighter."
However, just as the two were imagining a bright future for Qingshan Village, a series of strange things happened quietly. First, some livestock in the village disappeared inexplicably, and the villagers searched everywhere for them, but there was no trace. Then, every night, strange noises would be heard from the ancient woods on the edge of the village, like ghosts howling and wolves howling, which was creepy.
At first, the villagers thought it was just a wild animal and didn't take it seriously. But as the strange phenomena became more frequent, an atmosphere of fear gradually spread in the village. Late one night, when Uncle Zhang from the village got up to go to the bathroom, he vaguely saw a dark shadow flash past his sheepfold. He hurriedly chased after it, but lost sight of it at the edge of the woods. At this time, the strange noises coming from the woods made his scalp numb, and he dared not move forward.
After Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei learned about this, they decided to find out. They organized a few brave villagers, brought flashlights and some simple protective tools, and came to the edge of the woods on a moonlit night. As soon as they approached the woods, the strange sound came out, clearer than before, like someone groaning in pain, or like the roar of a wild beast.
"This sound sounds so strange, it doesn't seem like it comes from an ordinary animal." Qi Tongwei frowned and looked around vigilantly.
Xiaoxuan clenched the flashlight in his hand and said, "Whatever it is, we must find out and not let it affect the lives of the villagers."
The group walked cautiously into the woods, the beams of flashlights flickering in the darkness. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass ahead, and everyone stopped and stared at the place nervously. A frightened hare jumped out of the grass, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As they went deeper into the woods, they found some strange footprints on the ground. The footprints were large and irregular in shape, not like those left by common animals. Xiaoxuan squatted down and observed the footprints carefully, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Tongwei, these footprints are very wrong. I have never seen such things." Xiaoxuan said.
Qi Tongwei's face was solemn: "It seems that there must be some unknown secrets behind this. We have to continue investigating."
At this moment, a villager at the end of the team suddenly screamed. Everyone turned around and saw that the villager had fallen to the ground, with blood flowing from his leg as if he had been bitten by something. Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei ran over to check on his injuries.
"I felt something bite me, it happened so fast that I couldn't see it clearly," said the injured villager in horror.
