Everyone looked over out of curiosity.
"Don't tell me it's a fee?"
"Isn't this village going overboard? They clearly didn't plan on collecting fees, but when they saw so many people, they came up with the idea! How is this any different from robbery? "
"That's right, that's right …"
The more they spoke, the angrier they became. Their good mood was gone.
Just as someone was about to flare up, Jiang Zhou's disciple, Guan Xiangfeng, hung the signboard on a pole that had been planted long ago. Fan Qing took out a megaphone and very politely shouted, "Everyone! Everyone! The mountain path is narrow, and our village never expected so many people to come. It's dangerous for so many people to ascend the mountain, so we arranged a temporary queue! Everyone, don't worry. It's free to ascend the mountain. No fees! One Finger Village will provide water for free … "
When everyone heard that, they looked at the content written on the signboard. Immediately, the person who had said that a remote village produced unruly people blushed. Clearly, he had gauged the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
The tourists who had some grievances dissipated as they consciously began to line up. Wang Yougui arranged for people to lead the tourists in groups of ten, with each group taking five minutes apart. Then, he got Guan Xiangfeng and the other students to set up a gate at the mountaintop. They worked together to ensure that there were not too many people on the mountain path at the same time to prevent accidents from happening.
As the tourists ascended the mountain in batches, Wang Yougui heaved a sigh of relief. But soon, he felt like crying again! This was because the county's leaders were here!
However, to his surprise, the county leaders were dressed very casually. Although they were accompanied by the local leaders, all of them were mixed in with the crowd. Wang Yougui went forward, planning on leading the way, but they rejected him directly.
"Little Wang, don't bother about us. No one expected that your One Finger Village would suddenly have so many tourists. You have done well, but this is only the beginning. There's still a huge group of people on the way. Don't follow us. We are only here to take a look during the holidays. It's not considered official business. Our Songwu County has produced a famous person. Furthermore, we wake up and rest to the sound of the bell and drum every day. Today, we are officially here to see our One Finger Monastery and its accomplished monk, "said the county secretary with a chuckle.
"But …" Wang Yougui looked at the others.
"Alright, stop looking. There's really no need for you. We have arms and legs. Besides, it's not convenient for us to have fun with you. Let's leave it at that. Hurry up and get back to work, "the county head said.
Wang Yougui saw that the two leaders didn't seem to be joking, and there was indeed another car coming. The village really couldn't do without him, so he had to leave.
Seeing a large group of people blocking the foot of the mountain, Wang Yougui felt that this wasn't a solution. He simply got someone to get some of their special Frost Bamboo tea and gave it to everyone for free. As a result, many people praised it and said that they wanted to buy some to bring back. When Wang Yougui heard that, he immediately beamed. He quickly got someone to prepare Frost Bamboo tea for sale!
The so-called Frost Bamboo tea was made from dried bamboo shoots. However, Frost Bamboo was different from ordinary bamboo shoots. After Frost Bamboo shoots were dried, they were colorless. They had a withered yellow color, like wrinkled amber. However, once it fell into the water, it would turn emerald green within a few minutes, as if it was soaked in a cup of jade. It looked very beautiful. It looked good and tasted good …
Wang Yougui was able to draw inferences about other cases from one case. He simply took out all the bamboo carvings and bamboo rice. These things weren't expensive, but they all had their own characteristics. Soon, they attracted a large number of tourists. The villagers were overjoyed. They counted money until their hands cramped up, and all of them worked exceptionally hard. Even Sun Mengmeng was pulled out. She wore a panda costume and sat on the table with a bundle of beads, pretending to be a national treasure … In the end, they were out of stock … Sun Qiancheng nearly cracked his teeth.
Some people were happy, while others were worried. On the highway, many people looked gloomily at the long line of cars blocking the road.
"If I knew there would be so many people, I wouldn't have come." This was everyone's thought. Everyone lived nearby, and the furthest was in Black Mountain City. Thinking about it, it was only a three-hour drive. There was no need to be stuck in traffic …
However, someone was even more anxious.
"Sis Xueying, I think we won't be able to return before dark," Li Xueying's manager, Xiaoliu, said bitterly as she adjusted her glasses in a daze.
Li Xueying chuckled and said, "There's no rush. I don't have anything to do recently. I'm on sick leave, so I have time. "
"Alright. But I really can't figure out why you love coming here so much," Xiaoliu said helplessly as she leaned against the window and looked at the monotonous scenery outside. She really couldn't figure it out. Li Xueying wasn't lacking in money, and it wasn't easy for her to have a break. Why didn't she go to some beautiful scenic spots? At the very least, she should find a high-end club or have a spa, right?
Li Xueying didn't say a word as she leaned back in her seat. A gentle figure flashed across her mind. At her level, what kind of scenery had she not seen? What she wanted was not the beauty of the scenery, but the peace of the mind. And after traveling the world, there were places like monasteries and Daoist temples that could indeed calm her down. However, that kind of tranquility had a religious tinge to it. It was ultimately impure. Mt. One Finger was different. Although it was also a monastery, the feeling Fangzheng gave off, or at least the feeling she got, was that Fangzheng wasn't a monk!
This is a simple, sunny big boy! When facing him, there wasn't the Buddhist tranquility of the morning bells and evening drums. There was only a simple, carefree feeling as though she was at home. There was no need for her to pretend or think too much. She could do whatever she wanted and say whatever she wanted. Her heart and body were at peace … She liked such a feeling. This was because she knew that Fangzheng had no requests from her. He wouldn't treat her differently because of her identity, nor would he treat her differently because of her beauty.
Just as Li Xueying was sitting there in a daze, a woman dressed in ancient clothing slowly walked past the car. The woman was carrying a luggage bag and hugging a zither. Her long hair fluttered in the northern wind. At that instant, Li Xueying was a little dazed. She couldn't help but marvel, "What a charming woman."
Xiaoliu added, "That's right. Sis Xueying, this is the first time I'm seeing such an intellectual woman. She doesn't look like an actress. "
Li Xueying shook her head and said, "Typical actors wouldn't be able to portray such a feeling. That's her bearing. That's her nature. It's natural. I wonder where she's going dressed like that. Don't tell me she's going to Mt. One Finger? "
"How is that possible? Is she cosplaying while going up Mt. One Finger dressed like that?" Xiaoliu shook her head.
Li Xueying smiled. However, she had a nagging feeling that the woman was heading to Mt. One Finger. At that moment, a car window wound down and someone struck up a conversation. "Where are you going, babe? Do you need a ride? "
