Not for merit, not for the gratitude of others, but just for his own conscience, he cannot just ignore it.
But how to do it... Is the method he thought of really feasible?
We still need to conduct an on-site investigation to know the truth. Qi Jingchuan gradually had an idea in his mind. After washing up and changing into clothes that were convenient for exercise, he went out.
The security guard who had been guarding the lobby downstairs all night saw this handsome guy who left a deep impression on him and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Is there no breakfast? Go to the restaurant now, there is breakfast!"
The security guard spoke a little bit of the southwestern dialect, but fortunately Qi Jingchuan was a person with a strong talent for languages, so he didn't have much trouble communicating with the people of Mucheng.
"Thank you. I plan to go to the morning market to get something to eat."
After hearing this, the security guard became even more enthusiastic. He began to introduce to Qi Jingchuan which breakfast shop in Mucheng Morning Market had the best taste. Qi Jingchuan listened carefully to the introduction and thanked him sincerely.
Leaving the hotel lobby, he felt even more upset. How could such a warm and simple person die in the earthquake?
He felt a little depressed and his steps were a little heavy.
As he approached the breakfast stall, Qi Jingchuan discovered that the tofu pudding sold here was spicy. There was no need to worry about whether it was sweet or salty, as there was only spicy option.
The stall owner was an extremely enthusiastic middle-aged woman with a southwestern-style headscarf on her head. She waved at Qi Jingchuan and said, "Handsome boy, would you like to eat tofu pudding? A bowl of tofu pudding costs three yuan, and a salt and pepper biscuit costs one yuan."
Qi Jingchuan ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and two sesame cakes, then sat on a chair next to the stall and started eating.
There were not many people here now, and the stall owner seemed to be a very approachable person, so Qi Jingchuan started chatting with her.
"Handsome boy, you are not from Mucheng, right? I have lived in Mucheng for forty or fifty years, and I have never seen anyone as handsome as you. Are you here for tourism? Or do you have relatives here?"
Qi Jingchuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm here for tourism. I heard from Xue that there are mountains all over this place and the scenery is very beautiful, so I thought of coming over to take a look."
The stall owner laughed a few times, "There are so many children coming here these days! I don't know where you learned it... Hiking? I would say it's so tiring. Mucheng is surrounded by mountains, and it's not easy to come in."
Before, there was a little girl who climbed in from the other side of the mountain and almost got lost in the mountain. Alas - you said Mucheng is so poor, what is there to do here except to see the mountains.
With this money, you might as well go see the sea. The sea is so beautiful, but I have only seen it on TV. If I have the chance, I will go see the sea when I have saved enough money!"
Qi Jingchuan's mind moved, and he asked casually, "If someone gave you money to go see the sea, would you go?"
The stall owner laughed again, "How can such a good thing happen in the world? Pies don't fall from the sky."
Qi Jingchuan asked again, "Just like you said, Mucheng is so poor, Auntie, have you ever thought about leaving here?"
The stall owner responded while making pancakes, "This is my home. We have lived here for generations. Where else can we go? What's more, we don't have the money to leave the mountains."
Qi Jingchuan stopped talking and quietly finished his tofu pudding and sesame cake. Before leaving, he placed a 100-yuan bill on the table of the breakfast stall.
He understood that this old lady's thoughts might be the thoughts of most people in Mucheng.
This is their home. They are native Mucheng people. They have no money. Where can they go?
So what Qi Jingchuan needs to do now is to make them leave their hometown willingly.
At least leave here before the earthquake starts, and come back after the post-disaster reconstruction.
