Chapter 523 Something is wrong
The more Li Dashan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He decided to find an opportunity to ask Chu Tian. After the villagers had received their flour and left, Li Dashan called Chu Tian aside. "Tian'er, tell me the truth, where did all this flour come from?"
Li Dashan looked at Chu Tian seriously. Chu Tian was prepared in his heart. He calmly replied: "Secretary, I found a piece of wasteland in the mountains before and secretly planted some wheat to grind it. I saw that everyone was starving, so I wanted to take it out to save the emergency." Li Dashan listened, half believing and half doubting. He knew that in this famine era, every grain of food was hard-won, and it was against the rules to privately reclaim wasteland to plant food. But looking at Chu Tian's sincere eyes, he hesitated again. "Tian'er, uncle knows you are kind, but this matter is of great importance, don't lie to uncle." Li Dashan said earnestly. Investigation and misunderstanding Although Li Dashan did not have conclusive evidence, he decided to investigate secretly. He sent a few trusted villagers to check the wasteland that Chu Tian mentioned. However, after Chu Tian's careful treatment, there was no obvious sign of planting on this wasteland. After the villagers came back, they reported to Li Dashan that they did not find anything abnormal. This made Li Dashan more suspicious of Chu Tian's words. He felt that Chu Tian must be hiding something. As time went by, some rumors gradually spread in the village. Some people said that Chu Tian must have stolen public grain, so there was so much flour; others said that Chu Tian colluded with criminals outside and did something shameful. These rumors spread quickly in the village like a gust of wind. The villagers began to point fingers at Chu Tian, and their original gratitude to him was gradually replaced by suspicion and suspicion. Chu Tian was very sad when he heard these rumors. He didn't expect that his kindness would result in such a result. But he didn't get angry because he knew that in this special period, everyone was too sensitive, and any slight disturbance could cause panic. The truth gradually became clear. Faced with misunderstandings, Chu Tian decided to prove his innocence with practical actions. He entered the system space again and planted another batch of wheat. This time, he deliberately left some evidence and planted a few wheat plants on the edge of the wasteland to let them grow naturally. At the same time, he took the initiative to find Li Dashan and said sincerely: "Secretary, I know you have doubts about me, and I understand. Come with me to a place and I will show you something." Li Dashan hesitated for a moment, but still followed Chu Tian to the wasteland. When he saw the wheat plants growing, his doubts were relieved a little. "Secretary, this is the wheat I planted. I didn't dare to tell you the truth before because I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. But now, I know I can't hide it anymore." Chu Tian said seriously. Li Dashan looked at the wheat plants and then at Chu Tian, feeling mixed emotions. He realized that he might have wronged the young man. Just then, news came from the village that several villagers were poisoned and unconscious because they ate wild vegetables of unknown origin. After hearing this, Chu Tian and Li Dashan immediately rushed back to the village. Chu Tian used the herbs in the system space to treat the poisoned villagers. After some efforts, the poisoned villagers were finally out of danger. This incident made Li Dashan completely believe in Chu Tian's character and his ability. He apologized to Chu Tian in front of all the villagers: "Tian'er, I'm sorry for you. I wrongly blamed you. You not only brought flour to everyone, but also saved the poisoned villagers. You are the great benefactor of our Anning Village!" After hearing this, the villagers also realized their mistakes. They surrounded Chu Tian and kept apologizing. Chu Tian smiled and said, "Don't say that, we are all family. In this difficult time, we should help each other." From then on, Chu Tian and the villagers had a better relationship. He continued to use the system space to help the villagers grow food and vegetables, and led everyone to survive this difficult famine. With Chu Tian's efforts, Anning Village gradually regained its vitality, and Chu Tian's story also spread on this land and became a legend in everyone's mouth. New Challenges and Opportunities As the famine eased, Anning Village ushered in new challenges and opportunities. Although the villagers were temporarily free from the threat of hunger, the village's economy was still very backward and the infrastructure was dilapidated. Chu Tian knew that it was far from enough to just solve the problem of food and clothing. If he wanted to make the village truly prosperous, he had to develop industries. He decided to take advantage of the system space and try to grow some cash crops. After some research, Chu Tian found that the cotton planted in the space had high yield and good quality. So he planted a lot of cotton in the space and taught the villagers how to weave cotton cloth. At the beginning, the villagers were not familiar with this new production method, and the quality of the cotton cloth woven was uneven. But Chu Tian was not discouraged. He patiently guided everyone, from selecting cotton to spinning and weaving, and demonstrated every link in person. As time went on, the villagers' skills became more and more proficient, and the cotton cloth woven was not only popular in the surrounding markets, but also attracted the attention of some foreign merchants. The reputation of Anning Village gradually spread, and the village's economy began to pick up. However, just as the village was developing better and better, a sudden rainstorm triggered a landslide, destroying some farmland and houses in the village. The fire of hope that the villagers had just ignited seemed to be extinguished again. Overcoming difficulties together Facing this disaster, Chu Tian did not flinch at all. He quickly organized the villagers to carry out self-rescue.
That night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling in every corner of the village. Wang Fugui tossed and turned, and finally decided to go to Chu Tian's house to find out. He put on the patched old cotton coat, walked through the narrow village alley, and came to the small courtyard where Chu Tian lived. "Dong Dong Dong", Wang Fugui knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened with a "creak". Chu Tian saw that it was the village party secretary, and hurriedly welcomed him into the yard enthusiastically, saying: "Party secretary, it's so late, why are you here? Come in and sit down." Wang Fugui waved his hand, "No, just sit in the yard." Chu Tian hurried back to the house to pour a glass of water, handed it to Wang Fugui, and the two sat on a small bench in the yard. A gust of cold wind blew, and Chu Tian couldn't help shivering. Wang Fugui looked at Chu Tian, exchanged a few words of greeting first, and then changed the subject and said: "Chu Tian, the flour you got for everyone this time really solved the urgent problem. But everyone is curious, where did you get this flour from?"
