The late autumn sun waved its lazy body and finally leaped to the other side of the mountain, leaving behind a desolate but charming afterglow against the black bottom and white edges of the clouds. The mountains were covered in red, like endless wheat fields, shaking their colorful bodies in the wind. At the foot of the mountain, the Dongwa River was like a young girl waving her sleeves, winding around the endless stretch of Guanyin Mountain. The combination of the mountains and the water, the light and color, was like ink dyed glass, charming and moving.
The Dongwa Village at the foot of the mountain had been here for thousands of years. Third Young Master Xu, who had been herding sheep for more than 40 years, was humming a tune as he led his flock of sheep down Guanyin Mountain. From time to time, he would crack his whip and shout. When people heard the whip, they knew it was time for dinner. This had been a habit of the Dongwa villagers for many years. The sound was like the bell in Guanyin Temple, ethereal and long.
On this day, the villagers, young and old, gathered at the west entrance of the village, watching the workers loading baskets of apples into the cart. They looked at them with envy and discussed, "Look at this Li Tiedan. A few years ago, he was still a carefree kid, but in the blink of an eye, he has become a 'ten thousand yuan household'. Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance."
Another older villager said, "Although this Li Tiedan's parents died young, he has a lot of ideas in his mind! When he was young, I did a divination for him. This person is not someone who will stay in a small pond. He will rise with the wind and soar to the top. See, I'm right, right? "
A woman shot him a look of disdain and said, "Come on, you're just a 'Half Immortal Xu'. Why don't you tell us how his parents died? Wasn't it because of you …" The woman swallowed the second half of her sentence back into her stomach.
"Why are you talking about it? If you ask me, it's not that Li Tiedan is capable. He got what he has today because of Mayor Lu. If it wasn't for Mayor Lu's guidance, he would probably still be stuck in the casino all day, unable to find the next meal, "another villager said. This statement was generally agreed with by the villagers. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Sigh! Mayor Lu is quite pitiful. His wife ran off with someone else with their child, and the leaders of the town don't seem to like him, so they left him in the wilderness to be some bullsh * t Bao Village Leader. If you ask me, Mayor Lu is really doing things for the people. He's more than qualified to be the secretary of the town's party committee. What a bunch of corrupt officials, "a bespectacled man said.
"Is everything loaded?" Lu Yiwei stood on a piece of earth and shouted at Li Haidong, who was loading the truck behind him.
Hearing Lu Yiwei's question, Li Haidong and a worker laboriously moved a basket of apples onto the truck. Wiping his sweat, he ran over and said, "It will be ready soon. There are still a dozen baskets left.
Lu Yiwei looked at the villagers and felt bad. He said to Li Haidong, "Don't load the rest. Give it to the villagers."
Hearing Lu Yiwei's words, Li Haidong scratched his head coyly and said with a pained expression, "Brother Lu, that's a thousand pounds of stuff. Isn't it a pity to give it to them …"
"What's there to feel pity about? Without the support of the villagers, you wouldn't be where you are today. Hurry up and go." Lu Yiwei frowned and reminded Li Haidong.
