Chapter 1069: Leaving the Mountains

"What are you talking about? This time I came back and I'm not leaving; a golden nest, silver nest is not as good as my own dog's nest."

Yan Furong affirmed.

"Really?"

Several people exclaimed in surprise.

Since everyone left, Xiantaicun has become very desolate.

They haven't seen anyone return for two years.

They also didn't complain, after all, coming back once is not easy.

But the desolate atmosphere directly pricks the heart.

They, a group of people, often bask in the sun, remaining silent for a long time.

So when they saw the airplane, they came running.

"Really."

Yan Furong affirmed again.

The elderly finally put their hearts at ease.

The eldest nephew looked at the three-wheeled vehicle.

"Uncle Ergou, is that an airplane?"

Others also looked at him, their eyes full of longing.

Yan Furong understood something, and threw his luggage onto the ground.

"Come, I'll take you to see."

Several people cheered and jumped for joy upon hearing this.

"Wow, going to see the airplane."

They jumped like children.

The eldest nephew, running with a cane, made Yan Furong feel a bit sentimental.

He originally came to keep them company, but seeing their state, Yan Furong made a decision.

"Send them out; outside they have family; while there's time, let them properly see the outside world."

Although a round trip costs tens of thousands in fuel.

The expense is not small.

Six people, two at a time, three round trips will suffice.

Thinking of sending them away, he would be left alone here, feeling a bit lonely.

But he soon suppressed it.

"Airplane, is this really an airplane?"

Several people circled it several times, reaching out to touch but not daring, reaching out several times then pulling back.

Yan Furong grabbed Grandma Qian's hand and pressed it onto the three-wheeled vehicle.

"If you want to touch, just touch."

"This is a small plane, not worth much; when you go out you'll see huge planes that can seat several hundred people at once."

"Several hundred people?"

Several people looked shocked.

Yan Furong continued.

"Outside there are many miraculous things, such as high-speed rail, cruise ships, trams, driverless taxis, and also RVs."

"RV? What's that? A house installed on a vehicle?"

"It's a large vehicle with a house installed; you live wherever you go."

………

…………

Yan Furong introduced them to many outside situations; at first they were very excited, but gradually they became disappointed.

Yan Furong saw they lacked interest, picked up two more bags, preparing to take them back.

Several people saw there were still several bags on the ground and wanted to help him carry them.

After trying to move it once and failing, several people lifted one and walked toward the village.

Yan Furong advised several times but couldn't persuade them, so he stopped advising.

Returning home, it wasn't as dilapidated as imagined.

The eldest nephew told him.

"These houses, we'll clean them when we have time, open the doors to air them out."

"Houses need people to maintain them, especially wooden houses; if left unoccupied for a long time, they will quickly deteriorate."

"Your house, we can also maintain it like this for you."

Yan Furong touched the door frame, and seemed to see a scene of family life.

His eyes involuntarily became moist.

Why must he come back?

Because here he has his best memories.

Leaving the mountains is not only far but also dangerous.

Many people have stayed on that road.

Staying here, lacking medicine and medical supplies, many people fall ill and cannot survive.

The outside is not much better either.

Their family of five left the mountains, and the younger brother died halfway.

After leaving the great mountains, they had thought things would get better, but the younger sister was lost.

Only then did they know that, compared to the environment, human hearts were also incredibly terrifying.

Over the years of wandering, their family's Top Beam Pillar became a handful of soil under the tall buildings Big Building.

Later, Capital Gate recruited people, and mother took him abroad.

Later, mother formed a family again, and she joined a mercenary group.

Finally, she returned here again.

Urbanization, too, is nothing but a history of blood and tears.

Underground also has piles of white bones.

After wandering around, he still felt that this place was where his heart could rest.

"Thank you, great nephew, without your care, this house should have collapsed long ago."

He threw his luggage into the house, then came out to accompany his great nephew, sitting on the doorstep.

"Great nephew, do you want to go out or not? How is your great grandson doing out there?"

The great nephew hadn't seen his own child in two years; when Yan Furong mentioned it, his eyes lit up.

"They left early, development was okay; when they came back two years ago, I heard they bought a seventy-square-meter apartment, no longer living in Long-term Rental."

"I heard my granddaughter is also in college now."

Yan Furong took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave one to the great nephew, and kept one for himself.

At that time, when they went back to get food, the few people with pots and pans also came over.

He got up again and lit a cigarette.

Several people kept looking at it curiously, turning it over and over.

"This cigarette, we seem to have seen it before."

Yan Furong said affirmatively.

"You haven't seen it; this was brought back from abroad."

"From abroad?"

Er Da Ye lit it and took a puff.

"Wow, it really is different, a bit sweet."

Seeing him smoke, the others also lit up and tasted it.

The few people didn't bother with formalities, sitting or squatting on the doorstep, stone pedestal, or steps.

When the men smoked, Yan Furong tentatively asked Grandma Qian, Shan's wife, and Aunt Seven.

"Aunt Seven, do you want to go out and have a look?"

Shan's wife waved her hand.

"What's the point of going out? Just two steps and you'll roll down."

"Just muddle through; in a few days you'll be earning."

Is this interesting?

Yan Furong asked further.

"Shan's wife, my little plane can take people out!"

Shan's wife was stunned, then delighted.

"Yes, we can go out from the sky!"

Grandma Qian and Aunt Seven also became interested.

"Ergou, can you really take us out?"

Yan Furong put on a nonchalant air.

"That's right."

"If you want to go out, I can take you out."

"The authorities have now set up this place as a Free Village.

"Not only can you go out, but others can also come in."

Afterwards, Yan Furong told them about the Free Village.

Er Da Ye and a few others also gathered over.

"This rundown place, if outsiders can come, it's like a pie falling from the sky."

"Ergou, if you can revitalize this place, any tossing about is fine."

"Let's not talk about that for now; let's first talk about you taking us out."

"No problem, right?"

"Is it dangerous or not?"

"Up in the sky, if I want to pee or poop, what do I do?"

"Can we stop midway?"

Seeing that they all had the idea of going out to look, Yan Furong began to prepare for the trip in his heart.

"Er Da Ye, do you have the address and contact info for your second son?"

Er Da Ye was dumbfounded.

"This, I don't know."

"Shan Brother, what about you?"

Shan Brother also didn't know.

They didn't say anything.

The older nephew added.

My son did say, it seemed like it was in some Qiongzhou!

I forgot the details; we can't get out anyway, what's the point of remembering these?
