Chapter 174 Unacceptable Kindness
Chapter 175 Unacceptable Kindness
Ever since Wen Ning played a guitar piece in the village that day, the villagers became more and more curious about this strange young man.
Even the elder in the village came to visit Wen Ning. He found that Wen Ning could exercise his fingers while playing the strings, and he was very happy to encourage him to do so often.
But after Wen Ning lived here for a while, he found that there were many problems in the village.
Although he was not a savior, he felt very uneasy about living in the village for no reason and accepting the villagers' unconditional help.
Although this village is very backward, most of the villagers are simple and kind. They not only did not discriminate against him, a stranger from another place, but also gave him warmth and the most powerful help.
This gave Wen Ning the idea of repaying them.
But now he couldn't carry anything with his body or lift anything with his hands, so he could only start from other places and do his little bit to help here.
After Wen Ning thought it over, he asked Ailiya to find the old village chief.
"Hello, Mr. Village Chief. I know that what I am going to say next may be a little offensive, but I want to do something for the village. I want to teach the children to learn foreign languages and acquire knowledge. Do you think it is okay?"
As Elijah translated, the white-bearded old man in front of him was excited at first, then frowned.
Ailiya glanced at Wen Ning and said, "Ask your eldest brother, Grandpa Corey is very happy that you are willing to teach the children in the village, but first of all, he is very worried about your health. Secondly, he is worried that after you get better, you will eventually leave here, and the village will return to its original state. Grandpa Corey said that instead of giving them a brief moment of light, it would be better to let everyone stay immersed in darkness, and perhaps they will be happier."
After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Wen Ning standing there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
Of course he understood what the old man said. Although he had good intentions, the little help he could offer was not enough to change the future of the village and the children.
Once the children have seen what beauty is, can they really live in the village with peace of mind?
That night, Wen Ning looked at the guitar hanging on the wall and fell into deep thought for a long time. At dawn, he finally made a decision in his heart.
Regardless of whether he can return to the embrace of his motherland in the future, at least for this village, he hopes to do his best to give them a visible and tangible future.
From that day on, the villagers found that the young man from outside the village worked harder.
Not only did he increase his exercise every day, but he also sat under a big tree at the entrance of the village every evening and early morning and played a song with beautiful melody.
Every time he played these songs, the children in the village would learn to sing them along with him.
Gradually, the village was no longer quiet, and children's laughter and beautiful piano music could be heard everywhere.
When Wen Ning stood up on his own for the first time, the children in the village excitedly surrounded him and shouted.
Then the villagers were surprised to find that the seemingly thin young man actually contained enormous power in his body.
Every morning he would follow Elijah to the mountains to hunt. Although he could not draw the bow and arrow, he could always come up with wonderful ideas and catch more prey.
Then he would pick some wild fruits unique to the mountains, lead the children to weave beautiful small baskets with grass, fill them with fresh fruits dripping with water, put them on Elijah's carriage, and send them to the city for sale.
At first, Elijah could only set up a small stall on the street, but because the flower baskets they wove were very delicate and the wild fruits tasted very sweet and sour, Elijah would return with a full load every time he went out.
The villagers were very curious about the various tools on Elijah's carriage.
"Aliya, what are these things in your car?"
The dark-skinned boy grinned, "I don't know either. Brother Wen Ning asked me to prepare it. You will know in a few days."
Seeing that Alia and Wen Ning were acting mysteriously, many villagers became more and more curious. Even the old village chief, Grandpa Corey, couldn't help but come over to investigate secretly.
It didn't take long for the villagers to know Wen Ning's intentions.
I don’t know what method Wen Ning used, but he cleverly transplanted all the wild fruits and beautiful wild flowers from the mountains to the open space in front of the house. In order to prevent others from accidentally stepping on them, the two of them also built a fence around the open space.
Not long after this, Elijah went out again to sell wild fruit baskets, and brought back a large bundle of transparent plastic film.
The villagers' fun now, apart from listening to them playing the piano and singing every morning and farming during the day, is to guess at night what new tricks this strange young man will come up with tomorrow.
As two small plastic greenhouses were erected in front of Wen Ning's yard, the villagers finally couldn't figure out what they were.
"Aliya, can you tell us what this white thing you made is?"
Stumped by the question, Elijah scratched his head. He actually didn't quite understand Brother Wen Ning's intention, but by following Brother Wen Ning's instructions, he had already earned more than ten dollars, a sum of money that he could not even imagine in the past.
"I don't know either, but Brother Wen Ning said this thing can make money."
Elijah didn't know that his unintentional words would completely destroy the newly built greenhouse overnight.
Early the next morning, Wen Ning went out as usual, ready to go for a run to exercise, but he found that the greenhouse he had just set up for a day had been torn to pieces by something, and the transplanted wild fruits and flowers inside were also trampled to pieces.
"Oh my god, who did this?"
Ailiya squatted on the ground, watching the greenhouse that he and his elder brother Wen Ning had worked so hard to build being destroyed. The young man squatted on the ground and cried helplessly.
This incident caused a sensation among the villagers, and the old village chief Corey also came over on crutches to check it out.
After everyone's judgment, it was determined that this was not caused by wild animals at all, but was man-made.
The old man found it hard to believe that the villagers in his own village would treat the fruits of other people's labor in this way.
The whole village immediately began to check one by one, and finally found the damaged greenhouse in the home of Pariha, the only bachelor in the village.
Facing everyone's questions and confusion, Pariha explained, "I heard from Arya that this thing can make money, so I thought about taking it to the city to exchange for some money, and then... find a wife."
Led by the village chief, Pariha brought the damaged greenhouse to apologize to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning didn't say much, but just accepted the damaged plastic film.
But the village chief came back, looked at Wen Ning for a long time without saying anything, and finally said something.
"I appreciate your kindness, but my duty is to protect this village. Please don't bring any weird things in to disturb the peace here. Come back home when you are fully recovered!"
Wen Ning's plan was forced to end, and he didn't know whether his idea could be realized.
