C351 The Hope of the Whole Village



C351 The Hope of the Whole Village

The chief sighed as well.    

    

He immediately ordered the villagers to prepare the things needed for the long journey.    

    

He was afraid that he would have to empty all the savings in the village.    

    

However, the village chief was really going all out!    

    

Xiao Yun expressed his gratitude and took out the box from behind him.    

    

He was just about to rummage through the box.    

    

The village chief suddenly said, "That... Young Master, are you satisfied with Gua's recent service?"    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Of course not."    

    

"Then... Young Master, are you willing to accept Gua?"    

    

"En?"    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned.    

    

In fact, the village chief was really anxious.    

    

Originally, this matter could not be said so bluntly. It would make Xiao Yun unhappy if he made it sound like he was selling someone.    

    

However, he had no choice but to leave suddenly.    

    

Seeing Xiao Yun standing there in a daze, he hurriedly explained, "Gua, this child is really a waste in our place. If she can follow young master, then she can be considered to have a place in this lifetime. It's better than staying in the deep mountains and forests. So... Master, please take her away."    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned.    

    

Did he want Gua?    

    

That was what he wanted!    

    

After all, it was a good thing to have such a sensible girl by his side.    

    

Before this, he was still feeling a little lonely because the two of them were destined to be separated.    

    

But in that instant, everything became different.    

    

He had delivered himself to his doorstep!    

    

He didn't want it, but it seemed like he was being a little hypocritical.    

    

Xiao Yun opened his mouth.    

    

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.    

    

The village chief thought that he was unwilling and hurriedly said, "Young Master, we know that this is a rude request. It's just that we saw that Young Master seems to like Gua quite a bit. Gua also likes to stay by Young Master's side. If they were to separate from each other like this... I'm afraid that we will never meet again in this lifetime. It's really... What a pity."    

    

He kept talking, trying to convince Xiao Yun from all angles.    

    

Xiao Yun could only reach out his hand and wave.    

    

The scene suddenly became quiet.    

    

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and said, "This is your good intention. I know what you are thinking. The so-called loving son of a parent was a far-reaching plan. You all want to give Gua a better future. This kind of feeling... This young master can understand and will not offend your expectations. But if he was taken away just like that, it would seem a little too much. If this gets out, everyone will say that I am a villain who forcefully robbed women. It would make some people laugh their teeth off... How about this."    

    

Xiao Yun took out three gold bricks from the box.    

    

Each brick was worth twenty taels!    

    

When the people present saw this, they were all stunned.    

    

The village chief rubbed his eyes even harder.    

    

He had seen gold before.    

    

However, the golden pearl was only the size of a little finger. He looked at it from afar and did not touch it.    

    

Now, such a big thing was placed in front of him.    

    

He knew that it was gold, but he did not dare to confirm it.    

    

After all, in his opinion, no matter how wealthy a family was, it was impossible for them to take out so much gold at once, right? This was a bit too exaggerated.    

    

Xiao Yun took out a piece and handed it to the front. He said, "These two days, thanks to the care of all the villagers, our tiredness during our journey has been reduced. This bit of gold will be treated as a gift of thanks. All of you must accept it."    

    

"This..."    

    

The village chief could not utter a complete sentence for a moment.    

    

There was only one thought in his mind.    

    

Is this gold? This is really gold! Since the benefactor said it is gold, then it must be gold!    

    

Xiao Yun took out a second piece and handed it over. He said, "Previously, I had some misunderstandings with you guys. After all, we have injured some people. They were all young laborers. Many years later, life in the village would not be easy. It is fate that we meet. I don't want to see you guys living a miserable life in the future. This bit of gold should be enough for your future life. "    

    

"This..."    

    

The village chief opened his mouth.    

    

He only felt that his vision was somewhat dark.    

    

There was no black sky, but the world in front of him had become blurry.    

    

Xiao Yun took out the third piece in the end.    

    

He weighed it in his hand and placed it in Gua's hand.    

    

"You can send it over. After all, you are leaving home. With your diligence, you must have done a lot of work during normal days. Without you in the village, there will be less work. Especially in your home, it will be more troublesome. This gold is your three-year example. I will pay you in advance. Put it at home first to prepare for home use. If there is a chance in the future... You can ask someone to send the case money over. "    

    

Gua lowered her head to look at the gold.    

    

Then she looked up at Xiao Yun.    

    

Naturally, her feelings would also be extremely complicated.    

    

But she didn't say anything.    

    

She only nodded.    

    

Then, he obediently walked over and found his father, who was extremely excited in the corner.    

    

He handed the gold to him personally.    

    

Then, he said, "My daughter has left."    

    

Simple and clear.    

    

Huzi grinned. He felt the weight of the gold in his hand and was pleasantly surprised.    

    

He almost rolled his eyes and fainted.    

    

Fortunately, he held it in.    

    

Then he said happily, "Let's go, let's go. When we get along well in the future, don't forget about me, your father! Hahahaha! "    

    

Gua nodded and returned to Xiao Yun's side. She first stood behind him, then thought for a while and then returned to the carriage. The curtain of the carriage was pulled and the two worlds were separated.    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and waved his hand. "Let's go."    

    

Everyone immediately rushed the carriage. The carriage set off from the small village and continued to move forward.    

    

The village chief only reacted after they had walked a few dozen meters.    

    

Then, he let out a scream.    

    

He rolled his eyes and fell down with his head raised!    

    

The people around him immediately rushed forward, pinched him, and shook their arms, afraid that he would pass out and die.    

    

However, while they were busy, the village chief held the gold in his arms tightly. No one tried to take it off.    

    

They walked another hundred meters.    

    

When Huzi saw the gold, his smile suddenly froze.    

    

Then he turned his head and looked at the motorcade that was getting further and further away. He then looked at the gold brick in his hand.    

    

He suddenly chased after it and shouted loudly, "Gua! Don't forget dad, don't forget dad!"    

    

One! A big man was crying like an immature child.    

    

Xiao Yun looked through the curtain of the carriage.    

    

After a long while, he sighed.    

    

He turned to look at Gua in the corner.    

    

She had her back to him.    

    

There was no sound.    

    

She covered her face with both hands.    

    

His shoulders kept shaking.    

    

Xiao Yun gritted his teeth and said softly, "If you want to cry, just cry. If you hold it in, it will easily damage your body."    

    

Gua tentatively turned her head and looked at Xiao Yun through the gaps of her fingers.    

    

Xiao Yun opened his hands and revealed his embrace.    

    

She suddenly threw herself at him.    

    

She hid in Xiao Yun's arms and started crying.    

    

In an instant, her clothes were all torn.    

    

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the roof of the car with unfocused eyes.    

    

At this moment, he really didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.    

    

Three gold bricks.    

    

A man who was innocent would be guilty of having a treasure.    

    

Could this small village be protected?    

    

If it was not done well, it would bring about a fatal disaster.    

    

However, it was also an opportunity. As long as it was used properly, the gold could change the lives of everyone in the village.    

    

In fact, he originally wanted to leave behind a skill that could be passed down.    

    

There would be a day when the gold would be used up, but as long as the skill was there, the rice bowl would be there.    

    

Previously, he had also planned to teach Gua how to barbeque.    

    

Since it was fated, he might as well leave something behind.    

    

But now, Gua had already left with him.    

    

Furthermore, he really did not have much time.    

    

Thus, he could only use gold to repay the kindness of the villagers as soon as possible.    

    

On the other hand.    

    

Gua left just like that.    

    

With Xiao Yun's status and the situation in this remote area.    

    

She and her father, as well as those villagers, would most likely never see each other again in this lifetime.    

    

This farewell was a farewell.    

    

For a thirteen year old child, wasn't it a bit too cruel?    

    

But Gua's future life was definitely not what she could imagine right now.    

    

Furthermore, with Gua's character and ability, this kind of obedient and clever energy, it was a pity to stay in the village. She deserved a wider world!    

    

But was this right or wrong?    

    

It was right, and it was also wrong.    

    

It's right, it's also evil.    

    

There are actually two sides to everything.    

    

What Xiao Yun could do was actually not much.    

    

He did not even take the initiative to give a choice.    

    

The matter had already been laid out. In front of him, he had become someone who could only choose one person.    

    

This kind of choice was what he didn't like to do the most.    

    

"Sigh..."    

    

He let out a long sigh and reached out his hand to lightly pat Gua's back.    

    

"There is still a chance, just like what your father said. When you are doing well, there will be many things that you would not dare to think of in the past. When you're able to do all of them, there's still a chance to meet. You can even bring the people in the village to the city and do some small business. It might not be a bad thing."    

    

He paused for a moment.    

    

Then he continued: "If a village wants to change the situation, they can't rely on catching a few more wild beasts. If they want to reclaim a few acres of fertile land, someone will have to walk out. When they become strong, they will be able to obtain the Dao and bring their chickens and dogs to heaven. All the villages in the world did this, and some of them would use up all their strength. They will nurture a scholar and raise the fate of the village for the next few decades or even hundreds of years. All of it would depend on whether or not he would be able to make a name for himself. You are the same, not saying that you will leave with me today. You are not a person of your village. On the contrary. You are the pioneer, the hope of the entire village."
