Liang Su said: "Qiong Ya, have you always been like this? Don't you contact people outside?"
Qiong Ya shook her head. "If we were from the same tribe, we would still contact each other. But for people like you who can barely communicate, letting you in would be breaking the rules of the tribe."
As they walked along, Liang Su could clearly feel the defensive looks from these people.
She knew that she was no different from the enemy in their eyes.
"What if opening the village gates could make your lives better? You could trade with people outside, and with the money you had, you could build better houses, build schools for your children, and provide medical treatment for your fellow villagers. All of this would allow everyone to live a better life."
Although Qiongya is not very old, she has followed Tailin since she was a child and has been exposed to the affairs of the tribe.
People in the village have a short life expectancy, and living to fifty is considered a long life.
Moreover, there are more men than women in Yandong Village, so it is a hurdle for women to get pregnant and give birth, and the chance of death is very high.
Qiongya had seen the women in the village giving birth several times. In critical situations, she called a witch doctor, but there were still two deaths.
From then on, she felt more and more that it was not easy for Tailin to give birth to her safely, but she never thought about whether the result would be different if Yandong Village had better medical and sanitary conditions.
"Sister Liang Su, I will tell my mother what you said."
Liang Su didn't expect that he could change their minds with just a few words, so he touched her head.
"Tell your mother that we are not enemies. We can not only coexist peacefully, but also develop together."
Qiong Ya walked Liang Su to the door and then turned around and went back home.
I heard Tailin and Yaodong arguing while standing at the door.
The topic still revolves around building a lighthouse.
Finally, Tailin's patience ran out. "Yao Dong, I still haven't settled the score with you about Yao Wei pushing Qiong Ya into the well today! You asked me to explain it to you, so let's gather the tribe members and have a good talk about this!"
Now, Yao Dong was speechless.
Qiongya knew that there was probably no way to hold Yao Wei accountable for pushing her into the well.
Soon, she saw Yao Dong walking out angrily.
Seeing her, he snorted heavily.
Qiongya ignored him and ran inside.
"Mom!"
Tailin looked worried. "Did you hear that?"
Qiong Ya nodded, "I understand what Mom means."
It was because she understood that Tailin felt so guilty.
She chose to marry Yao Dong again because he had saved her.
It was not until she brought Yao Dong home that she realized that this man actually had evil ambitions.
In the past few days, he has won the hearts of many tribesmen and wants to seize power.
If the bloodline had not been kept here, the patriarch of Yandong Village would probably have been replaced.
"Our tribe has been closed off for so many years, it's time to change our mode."
Qiong Ya was surprised and asked, "Are you going to open the door and let those people in?"
“Taking it slow, allowing them to come in and build the lighthouse is the first step.”
Next, she will work with the troops to gradually get everyone to accept interacting with the outside world. Once they realize the benefits of opening the door, they will naturally accept it.
…
Liang Su walked out of Yandong Village, and Shen Congji was still waiting for her there.
He and the people behind him were full of doubts.
She suddenly appeared and solved the problem for everyone. They still haven't digested this sudden good news.
Liang Su glanced at the person behind him and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
Shen Congji nodded slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Chu Yi and the others coming out.
Their free medical consultation has also ended.
Chu Yi had a smile on his lips, looking like a dashing young man.
"Liang Su came here specially to see you, Aji, you are so lucky."
Shen Congji glanced at him indifferently and said, "Not bad, I'm luckier than you, still single."
Chu Yi: “…” I said you were fat and you were out of breath.
The group walked back, and while chatting, Liang Su asked Chu Yi about the situation in Yandong Village.
"Don't you provide them with some basic medical knowledge during your free clinics?"
Especially in terms of hygiene, the people of Yandong Village still have a long way to go.
Chu Yi frowned and said, "There's a language barrier. More than half of the people in Yandong Village haven't attended literacy classes, so they can't understand what we're saying."
Tailin, Qiongya and others are the few people in Yandong Village who can communicate with them.
Liang Su understood and thought that the situation in Yandong Village was even worse than she had imagined.
"Then could we make a brochure for them to circulate?"
Chu Yi shook his head. "Not only can they not communicate, most of them can't read. How can we circulate the brochures?"
Liang Su had an idea in his mind: if he couldn't read, he could at least appreciate a painting, right?
But this idea was still just a prototype, and she hadn't figured out how to do it yet, so she didn't tell Chu Yi about it.
When she returned to the military family compound, everyone had left, leaving only Liang Su and Shen Congji, and then she told them about her dream.
"Fortunately, I didn't get up too late, otherwise Qiongya might not be able to be saved."
Liang Su felt terrified when he thought about it now.
What if she ran to that place and found a dead body?
After listening to this, Shen Congji felt more comfortable than ever before.
"Are you afraid something might happen to me?"
Liang Su was stunned, "I'm worried something might happen to Qiongya."
Shen Congji changed his words: "I'm afraid something will happen to her, isn't it because I'm afraid it will affect me."
Liang Su thought for a moment and felt that what he said seemed to be right.
"Whatever you think is what it is."
Shen Congji: "..." Can't you just talk properly?
"Liang Su." He called her.
Liang Su turned around and asked, "What?"
"So you took the risk to go to Yandong Village because of me."
This is an affirmative sentence.
Liang Su didn't deny it. "Because you're unlucky. If I don't go, things will get out of control and you'll be in trouble."
Shen Congji chuckled, "Yes, I'm unlucky, but you're quite lucky."
For the first time, he discovered that the two of them complemented each other very well.
This realization made him feel a little relieved.
Liang Su was very wary of him, and Shen Congji could only helplessly find some candy for himself from the cracks.
"By the way, can you ask Chu Yi to come over for dinner tonight?"
Liang Su wanted to draw a simple diagram to show Chu Yi if it was feasible.
Shen Congji didn't agree immediately, "What do you want him to do?"
A sense of crisis arose in his heart.
Liang Su said: "Call the people over first, and I will tell you."
She turned and went into the house and took out her paintbrush.
I haven't moved for a long time, and my hands are a little clumsy.
Shen Congji, who followed in, leaned against the door frame and watched her movements.
"You can draw? I didn't even know."
Liang Su nodded and skillfully took out the paintbrush and paper.
"It's normal that you don't know. We are not very familiar with each other."
In the past, Shen Congji didn't even bother to understand her. He probably didn't even know that she brought a paintbrush with her.
Shen Congji was choked by her, and he knew that people should not do wrong things.
