Chapter 287: Surrounded
Half an hour later, the man’s eyes lit up when he saw that the cracks on the dry soil slowly disappeared. Now in front of him is a large piece of fertile soil, which is good enough to grow crops. His wife, who was standing beside him, also witnessed the miracle that just happened.
When they came back to their senses, the couple watched the villagers in the farmland embrace each other, crying happily while grabbing the fertile soil, and kneeled down to thank the gods. They looked at each other for a moment, and the long-lost hope gradually ignited in their eyes.
The man clasped his hands tightly and said, "Let’s go and beg the Venerable Master to save our village."
His wife nodded and the couple rushed back to Mei Hua Village with their little daughter, fearing that if they were too late, the villagers from other villages would seek help from the Venerable Master sooner than they did.
If there are too many people begging for help, the Venerable Masters will be too busy to help their village. At that time, they really won’t be able to survive this summer and can only starve to death.
After leaving the farmland, Da Niu led Xu Xiang and the others around the village, explaining the real situation in Mei Hua Village. Xu Xiang looked at the terrain of the village and said, "The terrain around this village is very good and can be used as a green belt."
Da Niu didn’t understand what a green belt was, so he asked, "Young Lady, what is a green belt?"
Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Green belt is an area without any buildings, mostly consisting of green plants. The main function of the green belt is to purify the air and improve air quality in the surrounding area. It also reduces the temperature of the surrounding environment."
Da Niu still didn’t quite understand, but he heard that there were no buildings in the green belt, so he asked, "If there were no buildings, where would the villagers live?"
After hearing what he said, Xu Xiang smiled and said, "If the surrounding area of this village can be turned into a green belt, it is the villagers of this village and the residents around the green belt that will benefit from it. You can think of the green belt as a public garden, and there are many benefits that can be provided to the community."
After listening to Xu Xiang’s explanation, Da Niu nodded with a vague understanding. For him, as long as he can still live in the Mei Hua Village, it doesn’t matter whether there is a green belt around the village or not.
