"But I know there are quite a few people who want to stay here."
"So now, with me as the center line, those who want to leave stand on the left, and those who want to stay stand on the right."
Jiang Che didn't hold the microphone, but every word he said was as clear and audible as if it was spoken into everyone's ears.
When the craftsmen heard Jiang Che's words, they immediately started to line up.
The crowd all rushed to the right, with only ten people standing on the left.
"So many people are willing to stay, so why do you ten want to leave?"
Jiang Che was quite surprised to see so many people choose to stay, then he looked at the ten people on the left and asked with a smile.
Those who chose to leave on the left were three men and two women, whose average age seemed to be around 30 to 40 years old.
"Village Chief, I also want to stay, but my parents, wife and children are waiting for me outside."
"If I don't go out, there will be no one to take care of them in the future."
A middle-aged man standing in front walked up and said with a smile.
Life here is indeed as free and easy as that of a god, but he is worried about the people outside who he cares about.
"Well, that's good. You're a responsible person."
"What about you, and why?"
Jiang Che nodded and asked the next person.
"Village chief, I've been doing wood carving for decades, but I haven't saved much money."
"My girlfriend has been with me for ten years, and I have nothing to give her."
"I've been working here for half a year, thinking I could get the money to marry her. I can't let her down."
The slightly younger man said seriously.
With the advent of computer engraving, the demand for handmade wood carvings has been greatly reduced.
He clung to his craft and had a hard time making ends meet.
Even so, his girlfriend still sticks with him and believes that he will be able to marry her one day when he becomes successful.
How could he let such a stupid woman lose?
"Being affectionate and righteous, and never forgetting your original intention, is not bad."
…
"My son has uremia. If I don't go out, she won't be able to survive."
"My daughter was born deaf and I need money to get her surgery and cochlear implant."
"My daughter was in a car accident and had both legs amputated. The driver ran away, and now she's waiting for me to give her money back for the surgery."
“…”
“…”
The remaining people also started talking about their own stories.
It's not easy for any of them. As the ten people talked about their own situations one after another.
Many people on the right had complicated expressions after hearing this, and paced back and forth, as if they also wanted to go to the left.
But he stopped again when he thought of something.
After ten people spoke, most of them had someone in their family who was seriously ill.
The whole family is counting on them, how can they be so cold-blooded as to stay here and be at ease?
There are hundreds of people standing on the right side. Are they really free of worries?
"I see, it's not easy at all!"
Jiang Che nodded and murmured, having already made a decision in his heart.
Staying in the blessed land of Taoyuan would give you the opportunity to prolong your life and attain immortality.
The ten people on the left can resolutely give up this opportunity for the people they care about behind them.
"Meiling, pay off everyone's wages."
"Da Zhuang, escort the person on the right out of the mountain."
The ten people on the left turned around and were about to leave when they heard Jiang Che's words.
But as soon as he lifted his foot, it froze.
"What, did I hear that correctly?"
Hundreds of people on the right laughed. It would be great to stay here. Maybe they could even practice Taoism in the future.
But as they laughed, they soon realized what was happening.
"No, the village chief seemed to be talking about sending us out of the mountains, right?!"
