C432 Can You Do It
The old village chief arrived very quickly. He wasn't the only one. There were also many villagers following behind him. Everyone wanted to hear Zhang Xiaoloong say that it was true.
"Don't worry, everyone. I am a farmer. I also came from a poor place like ours. I know what everyone is looking forward to the most. What I told Big Brother Liu Gui just now is true. But we have to come step by step. Or rather, we have to split up. If we want to plant the herbs here, it won't be able to recover in a day or two. Furthermore, I have to deal with the school's matters first and resolve the teacher's problem. This is a huge problem. The earlier I solve it, the sooner the children will be able to learn. What do you think?" Zhang Xiaoloong asked.
" Yes, yes, this is a serious matter. We have been poor for several lifetimes. We are not afraid of being poor for a few more years, but the children can't afford to delay it. This is what we should do. " The old village chief nodded his head repeatedly. Although the villagers behind him were anxious, however, this was understandable.
Zhang Xiaoloong said again, "We won't wait for a few more years. Planting herbs... It was also a solution that I thought of at the last minute. As for what exactly I should plant... I need to go back and investigate where to plant the right herbs. I need everyone to discuss it, but I can guarantee that... This method will definitely work. Leave this matter to me. The only thing I need to say is that in the beginning, it might be more troublesome than planting food, so everyone needs to take care of it. Take care! "
"That's great!"
"As long as I can earn money, I can keep an eye on it every day! "
"Don't say that I'll guard it, I can even set up my shop there!"
The villagers took a calming pill, and all of their faces bloomed with smiles. This was probably the happiest news they had heard in the past year.
"Hey, can you do it?" Lee Yan was originally quite proactive, but when she saw that these people had so much hope, she started to worry again.
It was indeed an encouragement for everyone to be able to settle the school's matters, but that only required Zhang Xiaoloong to pay another sum of money. Planting medicinal herbs was far from that simple.
However, it could be seen that everyone's hopes were placed on medicinal herbs, hoping that this could earn money. This way, there would be more hope for the children to go to school in peace. If Zhang Xiaoloong's method did not work, perhaps these people would all be in despair.
Lee Yan was a police officer. She had seen too many cases of people stepping on the wrong path because of despair. Among them, many did not reach that kind of desperate situation where they were at their wit's end. It was just that that person's own hopes for the future were shattered and could not accept it.
If it could not be done, then the best way was to not give others hope. The greater the hope, the greater the impact it would give people in the end. This blow was often not something that anyone could withstand.
"Of course it can be done. Even if it can't be done, it has to be done," Zhang Xiaoloong said with certainty. "Even if I have to move here for a year, I have to get this place up."
"Stay here for a year? You are not going to school? " Lee Yan was slightly surprised. She did not understand why Zhang Xiaoloong had such deep feelings for this place.
Zhang Xiaoloong could not help but smile. "Captain Li, can't you really look forward to it? I am just making an analogy, but I know it will definitely work. This place is suitable for the growth of many medicinal herbs. Now, we just need to investigate the price of the medicinal herbs outside. I just need to confirm the breed of the medicinal herbs planted. I know some people who are familiar with the wholesale of the medicinal herbs. Originally, I only need to give him a call. But now, a phone call doesn't work."
Only then did Lee Yan understand why the other party was so confident. It turned out that he was also involved in this aspect.
Oh, right. Zhang Xiaoloong was originally an expert in acupuncture. His flying needle technique was also very powerful. This was also an appearance at the social meeting of TCM. TCM experts were related to medicinal herbs, so it was not strange.
"You seem to be very good to the people here." Lee Yan voiced her doubt.
"Not really. I just figured out some problems. " Zhang Xiaoloong seemed to be thinking about his own experiences. "I came from the countryside. I took the Qinghe Village step by step and walked forward. Now, my business is making money, but my eyes have shifted from Qinghe Village to one city. Shenloong Restaurant opened more than a dozen branches, which indeed led to the development of the vegetables in Qinghe Village and the nearby villages. But I have forgotten that there are so many places in the world that are even poorer than the Qinghe Village. The money in the city will never be finished. But to me, this money... It's just a number, I forgot my dream... I want all the farmers in the world to become rich. This place will be my new beginning."
"You..." Lee Yan thought for a long time and did not know what to say. In the end, she could only helplessly advise. " This request of yours is too high for yourself. You are already so rich. It's already good enough that you can remember to bring a rich person back home. You don't have to treat yourself like a saint, do you? This makes me feel like I'm nothing. "
Zhang Xiaoloong laughed loudly. "For Officer Li to say something like that, I instantly feel that I'm still very tall."
"Hey, can you not call Officer Li or Officer Li by his name? I don't have a name?" Lee Yan said somewhat angrily.
"Isn't this showing respect to the people's police?" Zhang Xiaoloong deliberately said.
"Then should I call you Student Zhang every day, or Boss Zhang or Farmers Zhang?" Lee Yan asked.
"It's not impossible." Zhang Xiaoloong said with a smile.
Lee Yan bared her teeth and really wanted to bite him to death.
Ever since she was saved by Zhang Xiaoloong in Cheng Jiang's hands, there was a subtle change in her heart. Although she knew that this was not appropriate, she still had some expectations. However, there seemed to be a huge gap between her and Zhang Xiaoloong. Not to mention a close relationship, they weren't even considered friends. At least, friends wouldn't call you police every day.
"Yes," Lee Yan suddenly thought of something. "We are here to arrest Cheng Jiang. I don't know if this person has run away. If he is still hiding in the mountains, the villagers nearby will be in danger, especially those girls!"
"Don't worry. If he has left, we will return to the outside of the mountain now. It would be very difficult to find him again. "Zhang Xiaoloong's expression became more serious." But if he is still in the mountains, I will not let him go out again! "

The next day, Swallow brought Zhang Xiaoloong and the other two to Qinghe Hope School, which was ten miles away.
The fog was not very thick today, and the sunlight shone through the gaps, making the scenery of the mountains a little hazy.
"Is it always so thick here?" Lee Yan asked, "Then if it is always foggy, how can you guys go out?"
"Not really. Fog is very common, but not all day long. Usually, it is like this now. Everyone is used to it. When fog like this goes out, it won't get lost. I'm just afraid that it will be fog for a few days straight. At that time, no matter how familiar they were with the mountain path, they wouldn't dare to go out easily. Everyone said that there were demons in the mountain, and the fog was a sign that the demons had come out. That's why no one went out in that weather." The swallow talked about the legends of the mountains.
When they reached Hope School, they found that there were already many people there. Other than the children, there were also some villagers, including the old village chief they saw yesterday.
There was also an acquaintance of Zhang Xiaoloong.
