Fangzheng knew that this old man had not been knocked down by the pain of losing his son. Although he was in pain, he was still that Uncle Iron, the man who supported his family like an iron pillar!
At that moment, Uncle Iron stopped and saw Fangzheng in front of him. He sighed and said, "Sit down, child."
"Sorry," Fangzheng said.
Uncle Iron shook his head and said, "Why should I apologize? This isn't your fault. On the contrary, if not for you, I wouldn't have known about Xi's matter. Tomorrow, we will get someone to bring Xi back. After running around for so many years, it's time for him to go home and rest. "
Fangzheng said, "Uncle Iron, do you need my help?"
Uncle Iron suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know what Lahu means?"
Fangzheng shook his head.
Uncle Iron said, "Lahu of our Lahu people refers to tigers. Hu means to roast them over a fire to eat. Together, we are a race that uses fire to roast tigers to eat. In Yunnan, we are also known as the Tiger Hunting Race. Our people are born warriors. Warriors are not afraid of death, and warriors can stand up in any adversity! "
With that said, Uncle Iron said, "I'm indeed sad and sad that Xi is gone. However, this is life. No matter how difficult life is, we still have to live on. I still have a girl to take care of, so I can't collapse … "
Fangzheng looked at Uncle Iron in surprise. He never expected this old man to be so strong. However, being strong was one thing. If the Lahu people wanted to survive in the mountains, just being brave was not enough.
Hence, Fangzheng asked, "What do you plan on doing in the future? Will you continue forging? "
Uncle Iron shook his head and said, "When you walked out of our house, I was thinking about this problem. Forging clearly won't do … The reason why Xi went to the city to do such a dangerous job was because he was poor! Our village is too poor and can't support ourselves, so we have to go out and find a way to make a living.
And the root of being poor is the road! For the rest of my life, I will pave the way! I can't let the tragedy of Xi happen again. I believe that as long as there's a road, with the countless treasures and hard work in the mountains, our Lahu people won't end up in poverty and die in a foreign land! "
Fangzheng's eyes lit up when he heard that. Pave the way? This was indeed a good way to solve the problem at hand, and it was a good way to benefit the people once and for all!
However, it was not that simple to open up a path on the mountain. Along the way, Fangzheng had already experienced how difficult the path was. There were not many rocks, but weeds, shrubs, and all sorts of plants blocked off the entire path. If not for them, the journey would not have been too difficult.
But …
A glint flashed across Fangzheng's eyes.
After Uncle Iron was done speaking, he was tired. He slowly got up and said, "Alright, let's not talk anymore. We have to pick up Xi tomorrow. Little Chang, no matter what, thank you. "
Fangzheng shook his head. "You're welcome. On the contrary, I learned a lot from you. I hope you'll like the present I'm giving you. "
Grandpa Iron imagined that the gift Fangzheng was referring to was money. He shook his head and said, "Money is a good thing, but the children's future and lives are more important. I'm going to donate that money to repair the road. As long as my Tie family's descendants are still around, I don't believe we can't get through this mountain. "
"Have you never thought of moving out?" Fangzheng suddenly asked.
Uncle Iron shook his head and said, "This is home, my hometown. Where would I go if I moved out? Wouldn't it be even more miserable to leave my hometown? "
With that said, Uncle Iron gradually left.
Fangzheng slowly pressed his palms together and silently said, "Amitabha."
With that said, Fangzheng turned around and left. He didn't return to Ji Han's house. Instead, he came to the edge of the village. That was where he had entered the village. There was a path out of the village. If he followed the path, he could go up the mountain. However, there was only one section of the path. The rest was filled with thorns and shrubs, making it extremely difficult to walk.
Fangzheng came in front of the weeds and pressed his palms together. He circulated his divine power — Nature!
At that instant, Fangzheng recited the sutra in his mind. At the same time, his psyche spread out and attached itself to all the nearby plants!
At the same time, Fangzheng was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was much easier to use Nature here than on Mt. One Finger! Vaguely, he sensed that while his psyche was being expended, he could also absorb a portion of the psyche from the surrounding plants to replenish himself!
In fact, as long as he grasped the distance of the expansion and reduced the expenditure, Fangzheng could even cast his divine power without any expenditure!
Fangzheng experimented for a while before he grasped the distance of the divine power. With him as the center, a radius of five meters was just right!
"Ten meters wide? That's enough! " Fangzheng chuckled and spread out his hands. His psyche was attached to the plants, but he didn't feel the same feeling as the spirit ginseng in One Finger Monastery. These plants didn't seem to have any thoughts. Or perhaps, their thoughts were too weak, so weak that he couldn't sense them at all.
As for Fangzheng's thoughts, he easily dominated the plants' bodies and gave them the power of nature.
The next moment, with a thought from Fangzheng, all the plants around him moved!
The sharp grass was pulled out from the ground and moved to the side.
The uncle's branches suddenly turned soft as they raised high and connected with each other like an arch.
The short thorny shrubs retracted their thorny branches and threw them to the side. They weaved together with the other shrubs, forming a natural protective fence …
Fangzheng smiled in satisfaction when he saw all of this. Then, he slowly proceeded forward. Along the way, all the plants made way for him. An ecological path of nature was slowly forming.
Occasionally, he would encounter a boulder. Fangzheng would directly move the boulder away or control the plants to throw the boulder to the side.
As he walked, Fangzheng increasingly felt the power of his Nature Gifts. The feeling of controlling nature as he pleased made him feel like he was about to explode!
As he became more and more proficient, he went from controlling things step by step in the beginning to directly controlling the trees to send him into the air. The trees used their branches and the vines used their bodies to form a huge wave in the air. It constantly churned beneath his feet and sent him forward!
At that moment, Fangzheng was like a god of nature that controlled everything!
When he encountered the ice-cold stream again, Fangzheng waved his hand. A few trees extended their branches and vines wrapped around them, turning into an arch bridge. Following that, thick tree roots extended out from the ground. The tree roots were like stone arches that held up the bridge above. Green vines wrapped around it, and some flowers and weeds adorned it. The bridge was like a divine bridge of nature. It was so beautiful that Fangzheng didn't want to leave!
