Chapter 291 Yugong Moves the Mountain
If people from other places heard this, they would probably think the person who said it was crazy.
Can a mountain be dug away just by digging?
But all the villagers in Heihe Village nodded in agreement. For them, who are now united and motivated, digging the mountain is nothing as long as they are given time.
The village head said, "It's no use talking about this now. It's definitely too late to dig the mountain!"
"It's still in time!" Little Jiuer in Ye Yanping's arms waved her little hands, "Call him Meng!"
The village head was stunned. "Xiaobao, do you mean to do the same as last night and ask everyone in the surrounding area to come and help?"
"Yeah!" The little dumpling nodded firmly.
The village head frowned, "But digging a mountain is much harder than building an inn. If we run into some big rocks or something, we won't be able to do anything. Not only will we fail to dig the mountain, but we'll also delay the construction of the inn. What will we do then?"
"No!" Little Dumpling waved his hand, "Go quickly!"
Seeing Xiao Jiuer's confidence, the village head couldn't help but smile, "Fellow villagers, now that Master Xiao Jiu has spoken, are you ready?"
The villagers shouted, "We're ready!"
"One word, do it!"
The village head hurried out, "Get your tools and go dig the mountain at the village entrance! Shuanzi and Zhuzi, you and the others, notify the people in the surrounding area to come and help, and remember to have them bring tools!"
"Okay!" Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Xiao Jiuer put his little hand to his mouth and blew a whistle.
A white falcon flew over.
Little Dumpling clumsily tied a piece of paper around the white falcon's leg, then patted the falcon's head, "Ah Bai, get fatter!"
The white falcon rubbed Xiao Jiuer's face, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky to notify the Black Eagle Village.
The Heihe Village Food Street was bustling with people. There were more than a hundred guests tonight, and the women had added more than twenty tables.
Now, all the tables are full and all the women in Heihe Village are helping at the stove.
Compared to the chaos of last night, their division of labor today was clearer and they were busy but orderly.
Everyone worked hard, so the food came out quickly.
Because steaming rice takes a lot of time, Heihe Village stopped steaming rice from lunch onwards, and diners ate bamboo tube rice sent from Zhushan Village.
Bamboo tube rice has the fragrance of bamboo and is very popular among diners.
The diners already knew the rules of ordering here, and they didn't need anyone to organize them. They just took the initiative to say, "Waiter, let's start the first round of orders!"
Everyone was ordering dishes in a lively manner, but the county magistrate was so anxious that he kept walking in circles.
Zhuang Lizheng had been in the village for a long time, and no one knew why he hadn't come out yet. Thinking that the more than one hundred new guests had no place to stay, the county magistrate was anxious.
Just as I was thinking about it, the city gate opened.
The village head led the villagers out, and everyone carried hoes and shovels.
The county magistrate was delighted and quickly went to meet him. "Are you going to build an inn? But why haven't you brought out the materials?"
He studied the inn for a long time last night. The materials of the inn looked like wood but not wood, stone but not stone, and iron but not iron. He really wanted to see what the materials looked like.
The village head kept walking, saying as he walked, "Sir, there's no need to rush to build the inn. We have other things to do!"
"Other matters?" the county magistrate asked in confusion. "Is there anything more urgent than building an inn?"
"some!"
The village head led the villagers to the right side of the city gate. Because there was a school on the left side, the inn was built on the right side.
"Folks, dig!"
"good!"
The men of Heihe Village waved the farm tools in their hands and started digging the mountain with clanging sounds.
The county magistrate was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Dig the mountain! Build an inn!" said the village head, stroking his beard.
"Dig, dig the mountain?" The county magistrate's mouth dropped open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. "Are you crazy? How can we dig the mountain and build an inn in time now?!"
"It's still in time, it's definitely still in time!" the village head said confidently.
To be honest, he was actually very unsure.
There is still an hour left before it gets dark, and it is still unknown what difficulties we will encounter while digging the mountain.
But if Xiao Jiuer says it’s okay, then it must be okay!
The county magistrate blushed with anxiety. "Zhuanglizheng, stop joking! Tell them to stop digging the mountain and build an inn outside the village! It's really too late!"
The village head naturally wouldn't listen to him.
In Heihe Village, the orders issued by Lord Xiaojiu cannot be changed even by the emperor himself.
"Sir County Magistrate, yesterday, we were able to build over 120 inns in just an hour and a half. Today, we can dig the mountain and build the rest. Don't worry!"
"How can you expect me to relax? I am responsible for the people I brought here!" The county magistrate was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
The village head pretended not to hear and went to cheer up the villagers.
The villagers were digging the mountain with great enthusiasm, which alarmed the diners and they gathered around.
"What are you doing?"
"Dig the mountain."
"Digging a mountain?" The guests were stunned when they saw the mountain in front of them, which was not short.
"Why are you digging the mountain for no reason?"
The village head explained, "We have new distinguished guests arriving tonight, and the inn is no longer big enough for them. We are digging the mountain to build an inn!"
The guests were stunned again, and then laughed as if they had heard a huge joke.
"Hahaha, digging a mountain to build an inn now? We'll have to wait till the end of time before we can live in this inn."
"For those newcomers, I'm afraid you'll have to sleep outdoors at the village entrance tonight!"
The new guest got anxious when he heard this, "County Magistrate, we followed you here because you said there was a comfortable inn to stay in!"
"But tell me now, isn't it ridiculous to dig up the mountain and build an inn now?"
"Are you taking us for fools? Who are you trying to fool?"
The county magistrate was speechless after being questioned and looked at the village head with an unhappy expression.
The village head was a little panicked, but thinking of Xiao Jiuer, he said calmly: "Please rest assured, everyone. Heihe Village never speaks empty words. As long as we decide to do something, we will definitely accomplish it!"
The headman's confidence not only failed to give the new guests confidence, but instead made them a little angry and embarrassed.
"That's completely nonsense! Although there was a story about Yugong moving mountains in ancient times, Yugong was prepared to dig mountains for generations!"
"With just a few of you, it's a foolish dream to think you can successfully dig the mountain in such a short time!"
"After dinner, we'll leave here! This Heihe Village is a bunch of lunatics! They're so ignorant, stupid, and ridiculous!"
"Humph! You're crazy! You're stupid! You're ridiculous!"
A cute and fierce voice sounded, and the little dumpling ran over with a pout, "That's fine, that's fine! What's wrong? Don't be angry, okay?"
