Ruan Qing can understand Uncle Qi's longing and feelings for the Savage View, which can even be said to be a lifelong regret.
But you can’t put your dreams on others and let others realize them for you at the expense of “self.”
And what she couldn't accept the most was this attitude of confidently believing that others should just stand and talk as they should without getting hurt.
Considering the old man's age, Ruan Qing restrained his tone and tried not to be too harsh.
She replied: "If you, Grandpa Qi, say that, then go and tell County Magistrate Xu to cancel this development project. Otherwise, you will be sorry for the ancestors of Lao Meigou Village."
Uncle Seven: "What?"
"I followed your logic, Grandpa Qi. According to your logic, why should Laomeigou Village be developed? If you develop, become rich, and become like the people in the city, then you will lose your current Does it look like a pastoral country?" Ruan Qing said.
"If you think that Twenty-Seven deserves to live in a Taoist temple with no water, electricity or Internet for the rest of his life, then by the same token, should Lao Meigou Village be poor? Should he live the same life as before? You have no right to think about it. Want to strive for a better life?”
Uncle Qi was choked.
Can't refute.
After dealing with his father, Ruan Xiangyun turned around and came back.
He hurriedly advised: "Qingqing, Qingqing, don't be angry, don't be angry. That's what your seventh grandfather said, don't take it seriously."
She was angry for a moment and blurted out: "Grandpa Qi, if you really yearn for the savage view, you can go yourself!"
"Then, do you want to give up the Savage View?" Uncle Seventh's voice was choked with sobs.
"But please don't think of trapping a young person like Twenty-Seven in a place like that."
After Ruan Qing finished her argument, she felt that Uncle Qi was not good at fighting. She had already calmed down, but this sentence made her angry again!
Ruan Qing rubbed his forehead helplessly: "In the future, it will be developed and returned to the Taoist Association. The Taoist Association will naturally send people to take over the management."
Yes, twenty-seven is still so young. Why do you want to live your whole life in the mountains? Why can't we go on airplanes, watch high-speed trains, watch 3D movies and watch high-rise buildings
Who doesn't want to live a better life.
Taoist Master Qinghua also smoothed things over: "Don't worry, old man. In the future, the house will have to be repaired, and the tombs of fellow Taoists will also be repaired."
Uncle Qi said to Twenty-Seven, "Then you, wait another two years?"
Uncle Qi let him push him away in a daze. When he came to the door, he suddenly muttered something and went out with his head lowered.
It is understandable that Ruan Qing is angry about Twenty-Seven.
So why do we have to visit the graves of our ancestors every year? We need to add new soil to maintain their shape.
Ruan Xiangyun also had a big head: "Dad, stop being greedy."
She turned to Qinghua again: "Yes, Master Qinghua."
"You all know that he is my boyfriend now, and he listens to me whatever he says."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qing said politely: "Uncle Xiangyun, let me use your living room while we talk to Taoist Priest Qinghua."
Ruan Xiangyun actually hopes that Twenty-Seven can stay. But he is not as smart as his father. He knows whether to go or stay is a person's own wish. You can't force someone to stay.
"It's not like you couldn't find the place before. Now you know where the Taoist temple is. If you don't know, just look at the location on your phone. Even if there is no road in the mountains, it can guide you so you won't get lost." She said, " Now the courtyard door is unlocked and the house is unoccupied. Where is Twenty-Seven? He will come with me today."
It doesn't matter whether you live here or not, just be a spokesperson and put up a sign like "Heir of Gu Guan with profound martial arts skills".
Ruan Qing said: "That's for sure. The life stories of the masters are also the theme selling point of this scenic spot, so they must be taken care of well."
"Then, no, okay!"
Uncle Qi asked again: "How long will it take to develop it?" Ruan Xiangyun said: "Such a project will take one to two years."
"Grandpa Seven! There is no one like you!" she said angrily, "How many two years are there in a person's life? There are only ten years in one's twenties. In another two years, he will be thirty, right? You know it's a waste of time How do you write those two words? Just like you do!"
well.
Among the men left in the village, the youngest is in his mid-thirties. There are no younger people, and the younger ones have all left the mountains and gone to the big cities.
These are clan relatives, and they cannot be close to each other even if they are not close. He cannot let Ruan Qing really get separated from his clan relatives because of him.
Uncle Qi said, "Then can they guard Master's tomb properly?"
Uncle Qi was stunned.
How can we have a relationship if we have to trap the other person in the mountains for two years
If no one lives in it for a year, all kinds of problems will occur in an old house. Earthen tombs will be damaged if they are exposed to wind, rain and sun.
As a result, before he could speak, his father made Ruan Qing lose his temper first.
Ruan Qing felt that the old man couldn't carry it clearly. What he didn't take seriously, he took it seriously.
Seeing that she was really angry, even Twenty-Seven came over to persuade her: "Don't be angry, old man, just say whatever you want."
"Then I will authorize you, Grandpa Qi, on his behalf. During the period before the Taoist Association sends someone to take over, you can move in freely."
Qinghua nodded: "When the development is completed, we will send people over."
So weak, so careless.
He originally listened to Ruan Qing's advice, so he wanted to have a good talk with Ruan Qing to see if he could start from Ruan Qing's side and convince her to cooperate with the scenic spot in the future.
The era in which he lived placed much greater emphasis on "ethnicity" than in modern times. As an orphan bought by a killer organization, he has never had any relatives. In his heart, he regards Ruan Qing's relatives as his own and cherishes them very much.
"Dad, dad, go and soak your feet, soak your feet." He pushed Uncle Qi outside, "Fengying has heated up hot water for you to soak your feet. Soak up and feel comfortable. The Taoist Association is responsible for Taoist affairs. Don't worry about it."
"You can eat and sleep in it. If you like the days of burning firewood, drinking stream water, and sleeping on a hard bed, please do so!"
Ruan Xiangyun: "..."
Although he had just sat down to listen, Ruan Qing had no intention of objecting. Now an eviction order has been issued.
It's all his father's fault for messing around!
Ruan Xiangyun went out depressedly and got together with Uncle Qi to soak his feet. I walked a lot up and down the mountain, so it felt comfortable to soak my feet.
Uncle Qi asked, "Why are you coming out too?"
Ruan Xiangyun thought to himself, it was not you who caused it, I could have stayed in it. He said, "Ruan Qing and the others are discussing matters with the Taoist Association."
Uncle Qi said, "What are we talking about? Isn't that just talking about Taoist temples?"
Ruan Xiangyun said: "Yes, let's talk about the transfer of the Taoist temple."
Uncle Qi was worried: "Then why did you come out? There is no adult here, so the two children must not be tricked by the old slicker!"
Uncle Seventh always felt that Twenty-Seven gave away the Taoist temple to others casually. In addition to the film about Ruan Qing's girl to seduce the ordinary heart of the young Taoist priest, there must also be some factors in it that are fanning the flames of the Taoist Association.
Otherwise, how could he have gained Taoism
You see who gets the advantage in the end, and he is the one who is making trouble.
Uncle Qi was so anxious that he had to wipe his feet quickly and help his palms to prevent the children from being cheated.
Ruan Xiangyun pulled him back: "Stop interfering. Why is Ruan Qing also a college student, not more knowledgeable than you? Xiao Nian... is not a fuel-efficient lamp either."
In Uncle Qi's mind, he had never seen the situation at the negotiation table, so he felt that Twenty-Qi was a little fool.
He has no determination and is simple-minded. He really wanted to go.
"Go!" Ruan Xiangyun was also annoyed, "When the time comes, ask Ruan Qing to kick you out, you old man. You're shameless. Don't say I didn't stop you."
Uncle Qi froze, and finally put his feet back into the hot water angrily.
After adding hot water, the three people inside came out when the water cooled down.
Ruan Xiangyun and Uncle Qi watched eagerly.
Ruan Qing shook hands with Taoist Priest Qinghua: "Then I'll leave it to Taoist Priest."
Twenty-seven glanced at Qinghua.
Qinghua quickly twitched his hand: "Okay, let's contact you then?"
"Okay." Ruan Qing said, "Drive carefully."
Everyone sent Qinghua off together, and the Taoist Association's car also left Laomeigou.
Uncle Qi came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ruan Qing's anger comes and goes quickly. Uncle Qi didn't really do anything to hurt her and Twenty-Seven, it was just a conflict of values and the old man's stubbornness with regrets.
She said, "It's about the transfer of the Taoist temple."
Uncle Qi said, "Don't be fooled."
Ruan Qing's mouth twitched.
In fact, she always felt that they were trying to trick the Taoist Association.
There has been no one at Savage Temple for a long time, it was supposed to belong to the Taoist Association.
Taoist priest Qinghua was very kind. He bluntly said that if the project is finalized, the government will allocate funds. He will help twenty-seven get what he deserves.
Ruan Qing didn't dare to refuse too much, for fear of revealing his flaws, so he could only agree.
She comforted Uncle Qi and said, "It's okay. When the time comes to sign the contract, I will find a lawyer to check it. I won't let Twenty-Qi be cheated."
People in the city do things according to rules, and they still need to hire lawyers and so on. When Uncle Qi heard this, he realized that he had limited knowledge and could not help much, so he stopped.
Ruan Qing said: "What, Grandpa Qi, then I will... take Twenty-Qi away."
Uncle Qi was shocked: "Leave now?"
"Yes." Ruan Qing said, "There are a lot of procedures to apply for an ID card. You have to take a formal ID photo and so on. You also need to take care of his image. I will take him to the county seat. "
Uncle Qi's lips trembled and he asked, "Are you coming back?"
For a moment, Ruan Qing regretted confronting him.
When Ruan Xiangyun pushed Uncle Qi out of the living room earlier, he mumbled something that Ruan Qing couldn't hear or understand clearly.
But Twenty-Seven whispered in her ear: "He said: They are not sincere and it's all about money."
Indeed, what he hoped for was unfair to Twenty-Seven, but from another perspective, among all the people who appeared in the past two days, the one who was most sincere towards the savages and Master Zaojiao was not Uncle Qi. It belongs to me.
Ruan Qing said bravely, "Well, if something happens, I can come back at any time."
But what can happen to Laomeigou Village? Nothing will happen. All contracts and projects can be negotiated in the county seat. The important people are in the county and city.
In other words, once Twenty-Seven leaves, he may not come back.
Uncle Qi wiped his eyes and stamped his feet: "I know, let's go. Go see more outside and learn more."
What was originally planned to be done in one day, turned out to be a wild horse and took four days in Laomeigou Village.
Ruan Qing and Twenty-Qi finally left Laomeigou Village.
She didn't know that when everyone was crowding at the entrance of the village to see her off, Uncle Qi looked up at the sky, looked down at his speed in the mountains, then resolutely turned around and went home, packed his clothes, shoes, rice, noodles, bacon, salt, seasonings, and thought about it. , took some more seeds, and the piglet at home stuffed one into the basket.
While his son and wife went to see Ruan Qing off, he drove into the family's Sanbengzi and set off resolutely towards the mountains.
Young people still have a future worth looking forward to, and they cannot waste their youth in the mountains.
That's okay, he's old. My wife has been kicking around for a long time, my son is a promising man in his prime, and his grandson is already in college.
He has nothing to worry about "out there".
And Ruan Qing is right, not just young people like Nianqi, if people have the chance, they should do what they want to do.
Some people want to go out into the world and see the world of mortals.
Some people want to go into the mountains to sweep tombs and observe ancient temples.
Master, here I come.
