The old village chief's eyes flashed slightly, and then he sighed and said, "I will think about Princess Kang's suggestion carefully."
To be honest, in the past few days, the old village chief has noticed the changes in the young people and children in the village. They have become more energetic and look forward to seeing new things every day.
Even the middle-aged people in the village are full of curiosity about the outside world, especially women. Every day they go to the streets and see colorful things, they are always new.
"Then I would like to ask the old village chief to think about it carefully. In the past, everyone had never experienced the outside world and was very accustomed to their life in the mountain village. However, now many people have been exposed to the outside world, so
If they return to their previous lives, they may not be able to accept it again. What I say is from the bottom of my heart, and I don’t just say it for His Majesty and Hongzhu,” Yun Jingchu said.
The old village chief looked slightly shocked, then nodded and said: "Yes, I naturally believe in Princess Kang's sincerity."
"Also, I hope the old village chief will also consider the children's opinions. Children over seven years old have the ability to judge things for themselves. Ten years later, they will be the main force in the mountain village. What kind of life they want to live will also
Very important." Yun Jingchu added.
"...I will consider it." The old village chief thought for a while and then said warmly.
Yun Jingchu had no idea what the old village chief meant by the saying that people become better with age, but it was certain that he was shaken.
Yun Jingchu left the courtyard where the old village chief lived with a little anxiety and expectation.
The old village chief called a meeting with all the people in the village the next day. Everyone except Hongzhu, who was lying on the bed, attended.
Even small children were held by their parents and participated together.
Everyone crowded together in the front hall. Except for a few elderly people, everyone else was standing. The old village chief sat on the main seat and looked at everyone with a serious face.
The old village chief pressed his hand downwards, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Today, I called everyone here because there is something I want to tell you." The old village chief spoke slowly.
Everyone looked at the old village chief intently, waiting for him to continue.
"We have been living here for a month since we were forcibly taken away from Kaoshan Village by people from the Qinglian Sect a month ago. Recently, seeing everyone becoming more and more interested in the outside world, I have been thinking in my heart
Some questions...Do you know what I am thinking?" the old village chief said calmly.
Everyone looked at each other with anxious and confused expressions on their faces. They didn't know what the old village chief's purpose was in saying these words.
"I'm wondering whether the village rules we adhered to five hundred years ago are still correct?" the old village chief slowly said the answer.
Everyone's faces were shocked, and they all gaped in surprise.
They did not expect that the old village chief would question the village rules that had been followed for five hundred years.
"I think, back then, our ancestors made that rule so that we could avoid the suffering of war and live happily and stably. Their original intention was to make future generations happy. However, if this village rule now hinders everyone,
happiness, then, has it violated the original intention of our ancestors?" The old village chief looked at everyone and said sincerely.
Hearing this, the shock on everyone's faces became more and more obvious.
"Village chief, we don't think the village rules hinder our happiness." An old man said with excitement.
