It turns out that the son of the old mayor's third son is also his grandson.
After studying in the city outside, and finishing college, I happened to catch up with the policy of reforming remote mountainous areas and carrying out poverty alleviation and education support.
Therefore, the grandson of the old mayor gave up working in the big city, resolutely signed up and returned to the ancient town where his hometown was.
Apart from himself, there were also some similar young people who came together!
As a person with a higher education, he naturally would not believe in the legends about cows, ghosts and snake gods!
He believes that the legends about the sacred mountain and the so-called great immortals that have been passed down in the ancient town are all false.
I remember that when I just came back, the grandson of the old mayor's family took the young people who came with him to the west, intending to explore the so-called sacred mountain.
However, before they reached the riverside, they got lost in the ancient forest here because of the thick fog!
It was almost the same both times, so they could only let it go for the time being.
In these deep mountains, transportation problems have always been the biggest problem that restricts people from becoming rich and powerful!
However, the unique environment is also a huge advantage and feature!
Therefore, based on this consideration, these young people plan to discuss a plan to develop a tourism project!
The grandson of the old mayor has been discussing relevant matters at the town committee these days, so he doesn't even live at home!
One thing to say, their starting point may not be wrong, but young people are high-spirited and ambitious, but it is also a bit unrealistic!
Objective analysis shows that since the history of Zhenxian Ancient Town can be traced back to more than two hundred years ago, coupled with the surrounding environment, it does have the basis for tourism.
However, tourism must always be built on the basis of smooth transportation!
Apart from anything else, Zhao Han and the others spent at least several days on this journey!
Here, there is not a complete road for vehicles to connect to the outside!
There may be roads connecting some ethnic minority villages!
But after reaching many special places, the road often ends!
Under this premise, let me ask, how can anyone say that they spend so much time traveling across mountains and rivers just to have a look at this so-called historical town?
This is obviously an unrealistic idea.
It makes perfect sense to say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!
However, too many objective factors have led to this road construction being indeed not something that can be done easily!
Back to the topic!
After listening to Lao Suntou's son's story, the old mayor's family basically believed what he said at once!
Sometimes, it cannot be said that these people are stupid.
Compared to those young people talking about technology, reform, getting rich and so on!
The legends and even group training passed down from generation to generation are more deeply rooted in the hearts of these people who have grown up here all their lives!
They are used to this kind of life!
Moreover, compared to previous times, everyone now feels very wealthy!
After discussions with the old mayor, his family, and Mr. Sun, everyone decided to wait until daybreak to prepare for the sacrifice with everyone in the town!
This time, no matter what the young people on the town committee say, they will not give up on this matter!
To be honest, although now that there is a town committee, policy matters should be decided by the town committee.
And the old mayor has stopped taking care of things for many years!
However, if we really want to talk about appeal, in this ancient town, the old mayor is definitely well-deserved!
I remember that when the old mayor was still young, during the famine, he took Lao Suntou and his party to the sacred mountain to find precious ginseng.
Then he traveled thousands of miles and took the precious ginseng outside in exchange for food, which saved many lives at that time.
At that time, people in the entire ancient town believed that the gods guarding the dragon veins on the sacred mountain were blessing them and gave them the life-saving precious ginseng.
After so many years, life has gotten better. The younger generation in the ancient town has never experienced the famine, so naturally they don’t know many things!
However, people like Lao Suntou and his generation experienced it firsthand!
This is why they are so awe-inspiring when they talk about sacred mountains and great immortals.
Lao Suntou and his two brothers stayed at the old mayor's house for a while, and then they went back too!
The next morning!
The old mayor's family, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Sun, went door-to-door to make announcements as agreed at night.
Because of the previous incident of livestock being dragged away by unknown objects in the ancient town, everyone did not dare to go out at night, and naturally they did not dare to go out too early in the morning!
During this period, everyone basically starts working after sunrise.
Under the notification of the old mayor and others, everyone sent messages to inform each other, and before long, every household in the entire town received the message.
Soon, the square in the center of the ancient town was filled with people.
These are the residents of Zhenxian Ancient Town.
Most of the people who come to the square are elderly!
The little ones at home are all staying in their own homes right now!
"Old leader!"
After many people arrived, they all greeted the old mayor standing in front of the stone tablet.
Although the old mayor has white beard and hair, he is still strong and responds to everyone one by one.
"Grandpa Zhong, why do they call you boss?"
A child of five or six years old ran up to the old mayor and asked curiously.
"Haha, it's because grandpa is old. Look, grandpa's beard has turned white!" the old mayor said with a smile.
The old mayor said while stroking his gray beard!
The child was a little curious and reached out to touch the old mayor's beard.
"Gua Wa Zi, come back quickly and don't make trouble!" the child's father scolded and pulled the child back to his side!
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem!" The old mayor waved his hand and said kindly.
"Your Grandpa Zhong and the others were once enough to save our family. You have to respect your Grandpa Zhong, don't you know?" the child's father said seriously.
"Oh, I got it!" the child nodded and said, then stood quietly next to his father.
The old leader is naturally not the name of the old mayor.
The old mayor’s surname is Zhong, and his name is Zhong Yuanshan.
Laobantou is his nickname, and of course it is also a respectful title given to him by the people in the ancient town.
There is a saying that the first person who goes into the mountains to look for ginseng without fear of danger is called the leader!
The old mayor is not what you call a ginseng digger.
But when there was a famine, he resolutely took the young people in the ancient town to the sacred mountain in the west, found ginseng on it, and then went outside to exchange for food so that everyone could survive the most difficult time!
Although the old mayor only had this experience of digging ginseng once in his life, people in the entire ancient town who had experienced that time called him "Old Leader"!
