Chapter 495

Jiang Yuan took Ye Zhiqiu and others down the mountain to the entrance of the village.

It has rained recently, and the water level in the river outside the entrance has risen a bit. Many women are squatting by the river washing clothes, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Jiang Yuan and others approaching, these women all looked over with curiosity.

Jiang Yuan smiled and asked the old man sitting on the stone pier at the entrance smoking a dry cigarette:

"Uncle, is the chieftain in the village?"

The old man looked at Jiang Yuan warily, thinking that Jiang Yuan had brought someone to cause trouble.

Jiang Yuan smiled and explained:

"I'm Tusi's friend and I just came here half a year ago."

The old man looked at Jiang Yuan doubtfully, "Then wait here and I'll go ask."

Jiang Yuan nodded, watching the old man turn around and walk back to the village, and then saw the women washing clothes hurriedly carrying buckets home.

"Jiang Yuan, this situation is not quite right. They seem to be afraid."

Hearing Zhu Dashan's reminder, Jiang Yuan nodded, "I can see it."

"It seems like something happened in the village."

After a while, a middle-aged man walked out quickly. It was the chieftain of the village, Ji Zeshi, the father of Ji Zeshayi.

Seeing Jiang Yuan, Ji Zeshi suddenly laughed, "I guessed it was you."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said hello, and introduced Ye Zhiqiu, Zhu Dashan and the two brothers Qin Wen and Qin Wu to Ji Zeshi.

Ji Zeshi said with a smile as he led Jiang Yuan and others towards the village.

"Jiang Yuan, what's the matter with your visit to the village this time?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Uncle Yoshizawa, there is something I think it is necessary to tell you."

Then Jiang Yuan told the story about the gold mine.

However, there was no look of surprise on Ji Zeshi's face, as if he had known about the gold mine for a long time.

Sure enough, Ji Zeshi looked calm, but sighed and said:

"Sure enough, Wang Hu still hasn't given up."

"Our village has lived and worked peacefully here for so many years, how could we not know about the gold mine?"

"When I learned about this from the previous chieftain, I also considered developing a gold mine."

"But after my research, I found that once the gold mine is mined, the mountain is likely to be destroyed, and the village will be in danger of being buried."

explain

While talking, Ji Zeshi led Jiang Yuan and others into the Tongzi Building, and then into his own home.

Yoshizawa Shi's wife greeted Jiang Yuan with a smile, and then went to kill chickens to cook.

After a few people took their seats, Yoshizawa continued:

"Wang Hu's father is a foreigner. According to the tradition of our village, he cannot marry a girl from our village."

"But at that time, Wang Hu's mother was already pregnant with him, so the new chieftain had to make an exception and let him stay in the village."

"Wang Hu's father is a pretty good man. He works hard and is honest."

"It's just that the couple is unlucky..."

"To be honest, most people in the village don't have a very good attitude towards Wang Hu and his father."

"Because people in the village used to believe that outsiders would bring disaster."

"Of course, this wrong idea has gradually disappeared now."

"But Wang Hu was affected."

"After his parents passed away, people in the village didn't treat him very well. If the previous chieftain hadn't taken pity on him, he probably wouldn't have survived."

"It's just, Wang Hu..."

"It's just that Wang Hu doesn't know how to be grateful. Instead, he amplifies the hatred in his heart."

Jiang Yuan took over, "That's why he hates the village."

"When he knew there was a gold mine here, he tried to find a way to contract the mountain. Not only did he want to make a lot of money from the gold mine, but maybe he also wanted to destroy the village."

Jiang Yuan frowned as he spoke, "It seems that the warning I just gave was too light. If we don't stop him, the village will be in danger."

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly asked:

"Can't the village be moved to another location? On the way here, we found that there is a better and flatter place."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "Zhiqiu, you don't understand."

"There must be a reason why the village was originally chosen here."

Ji Zeshi nodded, "When Wang Hu contracted that mountain, I talked with him and thought he would give up on this idea."

"Now it seems that the hatred in his heart is deeper than I imagined."

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Uncle Yize, what are your plans, I can help."

Ji Zeshi shook his head, "After all, he grew up in the stockade. He is a member of our stockade. I will deal with him according to the rules of the stockade."

Jiang Yuan nodded and did not continue.

Continue this topic.

After all, the fact that Yoshizawa Shi can become a chieftain shows that he must be capable.

"By the way, Uncle Jize, isn't Shayi in the village?"

Ji Zeshi shook his head and said with a smile:

"You came at the right time. Shayi is getting married. You will be back tomorrow."

Jiang Yuan suddenly laughed, "That's really catching up."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said:

"Jiang Yuan, we have always had the idea of ​​absorbing the culture of ethnic minorities to design some unique and innovative jewelry."

"Let's stay and attend Shayi's wedding."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Then stay."

After a while, Yoshizawa Shi's wife prepared a table of dishes with a flavor that Ye Zhiqiu and others had never tasted before.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuan and Zhu Dashan walked outside the village, smoking and strolling around, and said in a deep voice:

"I have an intuition that something is about to happen in the village, and it may be a big change."

Zhu Dashan nodded, "So? If you are worried, I can call and ask some people to come."

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"The people in the village still don't like outsiders, so it's better not to call people in for the time being."

"Let's do this, Dashan, just make a call and ask some people to rush to the nearby town first."

Zhu Dashan nodded, picked up his mobile phone, and made a call in front of Jiang Yuan.

Ye Zhiqiu came over from a distance at this time, and she said to Jiang Yuan excitedly:

"Jiang Yuan, I just saw a lot of unique patterns and totems in the village, as well as a lot of silver jewelry. I have a lot of inspiration now."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Very good."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, "By the way, Jiang Yuan, Uncle Ji Ze's daughter is getting married. We are guests, should we prepare some gifts or something?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said:

"What do you think?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while, frowned and said:

"It's most appropriate to give us Ye's jewelry, but we just don't have enough time."

"How about we go to the town or the most prosperous place in Liangyi?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "At this time, it's better not to go too far."
