Even Wu Nanxing next to me frowned after hearing what the Miao guy said.
I couldn't help but ask her: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"A group of strangers came to the village and even injured a villager."
I was stunned for a moment, wondering why a group of strangers suddenly came here? Did they hurt someone?
When the villagers who were collecting firewood in the mountains heard what the Miao guy said, they all looked very angry and prepared to go down the mountain to have a look.
I immediately said to Wu Nanxing: "Let's go and have a look too."
Wu Nanxing and I followed everyone down the mountain and came to the entrance of the village. Sure enough, we saw more than a dozen people standing there.
A group of villagers from the stockade surrounded them. The dozen or so strangers seemed to have good backgrounds, and several of them pointed at the stockade and said something.
I followed everyone around and heard a noise. The villagers were shouting, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. I guess these outsiders couldn't understand either.
However, their posture was not intimidated by this group of simple villagers, and they even ignored these people at all and kept talking to themselves.
After listening for a while, these people seemed to be planning to develop this place into a scenic spot.
There are two people in this group who are from the government, and the others are from developers.
It would be great to turn this place into an attraction, because it is truly a paradise, and I believe it will be very popular with tourists.
Retain the original Miao architectural style, including traditional customs, and then invest in some commercial means to make some improvements.
This is a proper 4a or even 5a scenic spot!
However, the road here from the outside is a big investment. This winding mountain road is not that easy to repair. It is conservatively estimated that this project will require hundreds of millions of funds to be financed.
Although I think so, I don't agree with the development of this place at all. This is an isolated place. I really hope that it can retain its most traditional side without any disturbance.
Because once capital comes in, it is destined to change the original style, no matter how you preserve it.
The young man who just ran up the mountain to report the news was a bit exaggerated. No villagers were beaten, but they were just pushed. The problem was not serious.
This group of people is not a jackal or a leopard. After all, they are accompanied by people from the government and should be a regular development company.
Wu Nanxing and I watched for a while and then left. Wu Nanxing asked me to leave, and I don't know why she asked me to leave.
We didn’t go to the mountains to collect firewood anymore and went straight back home.
Mr. Wu is chopping firewood in the yard. He is not doing nothing. For example, he still has to do these strenuous tasks.
But when he saw us coming back, he called me over to chop wood.
At the same time, he asked us: "Why are you back so soon?"
Wu Nanxing took out the firewood in the basket little by little and said: "Dad, some people have come to the village, did you know?"
"What does it have to do with us? You just collect firewood, why are you just joining in the fun?"
While waving my chopper to chop firewood, I said, "Those people just said they were going to develop this place into a scenic spot. You must have a sense of crisis, otherwise you won't be able to save your home."
"This is not a matter that we ordinary people care about. There is still a government above."
I smiled and said, "People from the government are coming with me, which means it is definitely going to be developed."
Mr. Wu was suddenly stunned for a moment, then became serious and asked me: "What did you say? People from the government are here too?"
"Yes, it looks like we are preparing to develop your village."
Mr. Wu suddenly fell silent, not knowing what he was planning.
However, he didn't ask any more questions until in the afternoon, the old secretary of the village came to inform each household to send someone to Zhaizikou for a meeting, as if to discuss development matters.
I went with Mr. Wu. I also wanted to hear what happened. After all, I still have to continue treatment here. If it is really developed, it will definitely have an impact on me.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, there were already a lot of people sitting there, and everyone was talking incessantly. Most of them spoke Miao, and I couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Mr. Wu took his time, found a seat and sat down, then took out his pipe, lit it and started smoking.
After everyone arrived, a middle-aged man wearing cotton clothes came to the front and started speaking in Miao dialect.
I guess the person speaking must be from their government, otherwise how could he speak Miao language!
After talking for about a few minutes, the villagers started talking again.
Only Mr. Wu has been very calm, as if it has nothing to do with him.
I asked him curiously: "Mr. Wu, what did that person say just now? Why are everyone so excited?"
Mr. Wu took out his pipe from his mouth, knocked it on the stone pier next to it, and said to me: "A development company has come to the city to build our village into a 5a-level scenic spot. Let's not worry.
, they will consider our living environment, and people from the development company will come to speak later."
"The person who spoke is from your government, right?"
"Yes, he came from our village."
"Then he still supports the development of this place?"
Mr. Wu raised the pipe in his hand and told me not to worry and to continue listening.
After a while, the leader of the development company stood at the front. He waved his hands like a leader: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mei Zhenhua. I am here for you today.
In order to build your village into a 5a-level scenic spot, I just want to chat with you all today... If you have any questions, you can ask me."
The villagers immediately started asking questions, but most of them spoke Miao, and the person who first spoke was standing by as an interpreter.
After answering the villagers' questions one by one, the developer's boss said: "I almost understand everyone's problem, you just don't want to be developed, right? In fact, it doesn't matter, development only has benefits and no harm to you... You guys
Most of them are older, but have you thought about your children? Do you hope that your children or even grandchildren will always live here in the future?"
I have to say that this boss understands people very well. He paused and continued: "Go out and see the outside world! It is now 2021, and the outside world is very exciting. Go out of the mountains and see it! Send your children out of the mountains.
Go to a good school outside and have a good way out in the future. This is what you should think about!"
After he finished speaking, the translator began to translate again.
After he finished translating, the developer boss continued: "In addition, we will not really drive you away. Your village will still remain the same, but we will slightly renovate it, and every household can apply for it."
A compensation of 50,000 yuan per person."
After the translation, the villagers started talking again, this time the discussion was more intense than before.
Mr. Wu still looked calm and composed. I couldn't help but ask him: "Mr. Wu, what do you think?"
"What can I think? This kind of thing can only be done by the majority, and my words don't count."
I looked at the guys again and said, "Then what are everyone talking about? What do they say?"
"Half of the people think what he said makes sense, and half of the people don't agree."
"Isn't there a person of high moral character and respect in your village?"
"Yes, it's the old secretary who just came to inform us of the meeting."
"Then what does he think? I think his idea can really determine whether it will be developed."
Mr. Wu smiled, looked at the translator in front of him, and said, "The one who spoke first was the eldest son of the old village chief."
I was confused. Doesn’t this mean that the village can only be developed?
