On the way, Zhou Tiezhu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tongxi, why are you talking so happily with that Lumutong?"
Su Ruoxue beside him also complained: "Tongxi...that person is so dirty and smelly...Go wash your hands quickly...or stay away from me..."
As for Chen Yunxuan, he also frowned. If Lumutong came to Chengtian Academy, he would probably be kicked out by the gatekeeper disciples before he even entered the door.
Their Chengtian Academy has always paid attention to its image. This is the first time Chen Yunxuan has seen a situation like Lumutong's. Even the refugees who have just arrived are not so embarrassed.
"Uh... then I'll go wash my hands." Seeing that Su Ruoxue was disgusted, Lin Tongxi had no choice but to go to the stream to wash his hands, and then sprayed perfume, which made Su Ruoxue not dislike him so much.
"By the way, Brother Tiezhu, what's the situation at Rumutong's family?" Lin Tongxi asked about Rumutong's information.
Zhou Tiezhu sighed and then told the story of Lumutong's past.
It turned out that Lu Jia was a famous carpenter in Guangyang County, who could make many useful items. Then he was appreciated by the local wealthy family Huang, who asked him to make wooden products specifically for the Huang family.
It’s a pity that the Lu family gradually declined and their descendants were worse than the previous generation.
In the end, because the inventions of Lumutong's father did not meet the requirements of the Huang family, he was kicked out.
Lu Mutong returned to Qingshi Village with his sons and died of depression soon after, leaving only his two sons.
One of them worked hard to farm and be self-sufficient.
The other one is Lumutong, who is determined to restore the past glory of the Lu family. However, he even has trouble eating and basically relies on making some wooden products to exchange for money for his brother.
"..." After listening to this, Lin Tongxi knocked his left palm with his right fist.
Oh my god, this definitely feels like the protagonist!
It seems that he must be given more attention. Although he doesn't necessarily need to be brought into the main cast, he might be able to be trained as a talent.
"By the way, Lumutong doesn't interact with others much, and the villagers have almost forgotten about him," Zhou Tiezhu added.
It seems that Lumutong's personality is quite introverted, which just creates conditions for his in-depth research and development.
However, inventions and creations sometimes also rely on the support of the public.
Lin Tongxi decided to bring him into the meeting hall as a representative of the scientific community.
"Very good, but it's a pity that he doesn't pay much attention to hygiene. Let's see if we can ask his brother to tidy up his appearance. Also, I think we can bring him into the meeting hall... Of course, the premise is that his image can't be too bad. Brother Tiezhu, I'll leave this job to you." Lin Tongxi arranged the work, and Zhou Tiezhu readily agreed. After all, he was also very familiar with Lumutong's brother.
After a few days, we had almost finished visiting the entire village, and the last house we visited happened to be Grandma Yao's.
Speaking of which, when Lin Tongxi and the other two were in the village, they basically lived in Grandma Yao's house.
Grandma Yao said that her family had several rooms, and she usually lived alone. It was too much for her to fit in all the rooms, so she used the rooms as storage places for medicinal materials.
Of course, she personally welcomes the three of them to stay at any time.
However, Lin Tongxi and the other two were not so shameless and would still help Grandma Yao with some work.
After all, Grandma Yao is old and sometimes she doesn’t have that much energy.
Speaking of which, Grandma Yao is a very magical character.
She is just an ordinary village woman, but she knows how to heal others.
When Su Ruoxue is not around, Grandma Yao will act as a doctor and treat the villagers.
Such a kind-hearted old lady naturally left a good impression on the three of them.
"Oh, the last household turned out to be Grandma Yao's. That's simple. Grandma Yao is the only one in her household." Zhou Tiezhu said as he introduced Grandma Yao's past.
Her husband and son both died in the war, and she herself is unable to speak normally, so she can only rely on picking herbs herself to make a living.
Of course, the medicine lady will also plant some medicine in her own home.
"Hey, speaking of this, Xiaobai really likes the herbs that Medicine Granny grows herself," Su Ruoxue added, and then said, "Dad once said that Medicine Granny's herbs are first-rate in both planting and picking. It's a pity that she can't speak, otherwise Dad would like to ask her for advice."
At this time, the white snake Xiaobai also appeared in Su Ruoxue's hand, spitting out its tongue as if to express its agreement.
Lin Tongxi looked at the herbs in the house and suddenly came up with a good idea.
The only achievements are to quell the rebellion and develop the economy.
If Qingshi Village wants to develop its economy, it must activate its industries.
Forestry and mining seem to be good, and as for medicine... it's a necessity.
And judging from Xiaobai's reaction, the medicine made by Grandma Yao should be of very high quality.
A spiritual beast can't eat low-quality food, right?
In the end, Lin Tongxi added the three words "Medicine Grandma" to the list.
With the list completed, Lin Tongxi decided it was time to convene the first village meeting.
The complete integration of the village’s power depends on this conference!
