Chapter 974 Not interested
He was terrified and turned around to run out, but found that the entrance of the cave had been blocked by a huge stone. Zhao Fu was trapped in the cave, and fear and despair instantly overwhelmed him.
At the same time, some strange phenomena began to appear in the village. The clear well water became turbid, the livestock in the village fell ill for no apparent reason, and the children often cried at night. The villagers were panicked and began to suspect that all this was related to Zhao Fu's crazy behavior. Qi Tongwei looked at the chaos in the village with worry in his heart. He remembered the courage and wisdom that the little fox had brought him, and decided to step forward and lead the villagers to find a solution to the problem.
Qi Tongwei gathered several brave villagers and went to the mountains to look for Zhao Fu. They followed the traces left by Zhao Fu and searched hard in the mountains. Finally, in front of the mysterious cave, they found the blocked entrance. Everyone worked together to pry open the stone with tools and rescued Zhao Fu who was trapped in the cave. At this time, Zhao Fu was pale, in a trance, and kept talking nonsense.
After returning to the village, Zhao Fu fell ill. After the village doctor examined him, he shook his head helplessly and said that his illness was beyond the scope of medical treatment and that he might have angered the gods in the mountains and forests. After hearing this, the villagers accused Zhao Fu of greed and were also worried about the future of the village.
Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Qi Tongwei thought of the little fox again. He came alone to the place where he met the little fox that year, sat there quietly, and prayed silently in his heart. After an unknown amount of time, a white butterfly danced in front of him, and then slowly landed on his shoulder. Qi Tongwei's heart moved, and he felt that the butterfly seemed to be conveying some kind of message.
He followed the direction of the flying butterflies and came to a remote valley. The valley was full of various exotic flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a fresh fragrance. At the end of the valley, he found a clear spring, the spring water was crystal clear and flowing with a faint light. Qi Tongwei remembered the villagers' words that the well water had become turbid and the livestock were sick, and he guessed that this clear spring might have magical effects.
He carefully took some spring water and brought it back to the village. He first used the spring water to feed the sick livestock. Miraculously, the originally listless livestock gradually recovered. The villagers were surprised and delighted to see this. Qi Tongwei then distributed the spring water to the villagers and asked them to use it to clean the well water. After some efforts, the well water finally returned to its former clarity.
The crisis in the village was temporarily resolved, but Zhao Fu's condition still did not improve. He lay in bed all day, his eyes empty, mumbling something incomprehensible. Qi Tongwei looked at Zhao Fu with mixed feelings. He knew that Zhao Fu's experience was the result of his own greed, but he couldn't bear to watch a life disappear like this.
One night, Qi Tongwei had a dream. In the dream, a little fox appeared in front of him and told Qi Tongwei that Zhao Fu's soul was eroded by a dark force and that he could only be saved by finding a flower called "Soul Purifying Flower" in the valley. After Qi Tongwei woke up, he decided to go to the valley again to look for the "Soul Purifying Flower".
This time, he brought a few trusted companions with him. They searched everywhere in the valley and finally found the "Soul Purifying Flower" in a hidden corner. The flower was pure white, emitting a soft light, and surrounded by a layer of light mist. Qi Tongwei carefully picked the flower and took it back to the village.
They boiled the "Soul Purifying Flower" into a medicinal soup and fed it to Zhao Fu. After a long time, Zhao Fu's face gradually regained its rosy color, and his eyes became clear. He looked at the villagers around him, his eyes full of guilt. He struggled to get up, apologized to everyone, and admitted that his greed had brought disaster to the village.
After this incident, Zhao Fu changed completely. He was no longer greedy, but actively participated in the construction of the village, using his actions to make up for the mistakes he had made. The village also became more united and harmonious after experiencing this storm.
As time went by, life in the village gradually returned to peace. But Qi Tongwei knew that peace was only temporary, and there would always be various challenges and difficulties in life. He often thought of the little fox and the strength and courage it gave him. He decided to pass on this strength so that everyone in the village could learn to face the difficulties in life bravely.
On a sunny day, Qi Tongwei stood in the village square, watching the children playing and laughing on the grass and the villagers working hard in the fields, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that this was life, with laughter, tears, setbacks, and hope. And he, with the strength given to him by the little fox, will protect this village and this land.
However, the gears of fate did not stop turning. Not long after, a mysterious visitor came to the village. He was a well-traveled businessman named Qian Cheng. Qian Cheng heard about what happened in the village and admired Qi Tongwei's bravery and kindness. He told Qi Tongwei that in a distant place, there was a huge market where rare treasures and skilled craftsmen from all over the world gathered. He invited Qi Tongwei and the young people in the village to go to the market together to broaden their horizons and perhaps find more opportunities to change the fate of the village.
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei was very conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to bring more development opportunities to the village, but on the other hand, he was worried that the village would fall into trouble again after he left. He told the villagers about this idea, and everyone expressed their opinions. Some supported him to venture out, thinking that this was a rare opportunity; others opposed it, worrying that the village would lose its backbone after they left.
After careful consideration, Qi Tongwei decided to lead a group of young people to follow Qian Cheng to the market. He believed that as long as everyone was united, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they could overcome them. Before leaving, he entrusted the affairs of the village to several respected elders and urged everyone to take care of each other and protect the village together.
In this way, Qi Tongwei and his companions set out on a journey to the market. After crossing mountains and ridges and going through hardships, they finally arrived at the legendary market. The market was bustling with people coming and going, and a wide variety of goods were on display. Qi Tongwei and his companions were stunned by the scene before them. They saw many things they had never seen before and also met people from different places.
At the market, Qi Tongwei met a woman named Lin Wan'er, who was smart, kind-hearted, and very interested in Qi Tongwei's experience.
