It is said that in the far south, there is an ancient village shrouded in mist, called Yunyin Village.
This place is like spring all year round, with mountains and rivers like a paradise that hides a lot of secrets.
There is a young man in the village, named Li Mufeng, who is very energetic and has a gentle personality, he can lay bricks and tiles since he was a child, and his craftsmanship is very good, and he is a famous capable person in the village.
This year, Yunyin Village suffered a severe drought, and the crops were confiscated, and everyone was sad.
The village chief convened everyone to discuss and decided to build a brick kiln on the deserted land in the east of the village and burn bricks for food.
Li Mufeng stepped forward and picked up this burden, determined to help everyone tide over the difficulties.
Every day, Li Mufeng was facing the sun, holding a shovel in his hand, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he didn't complain.
His hands were thick calluses, but his eyes still showed a sense of refusal to admit defeat.
Every day when the sun goes down, he sits by the kiln, looks at the mountains in the distance, and silently recites in his heart: "I hope that the fire of this brick kiln can illuminate our path of hope."
”
One day, Li Mufeng was working hard when he suddenly heard a cough in the woods.
He looked up and saw an old man dressed in tatters with a gray beard and hair, trembling and walking over.
The old man's face was pale, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time, but there was something unusual in his eyes.
Li Mufeng hurriedly put down the work in his hand, stepped forward to help the old man, and invited him to his home to rest.
Although the home is simple, it is very clean.
Li Mufeng quickly lit a fire, boiled a pot of hot wild vegetable soup, and carefully served it to the old man.
The old man took a sip of soup, glanced at Li Mufeng gratefully, sighed and said, "Young man, do you know that there is a mystery underground?"
When Li Mufeng heard this, he was a little confused and didn't understand what it meant.
The old man took a sip of the soup slowly and said, "I am a Taoist priest who travels around, passing by here, I feel that something is wrong with the leylines in this place, as if there is an aura moving.
The place you dig may not be ordinary ground, and if you dig it again, you may get into trouble.
The old man continued: "This place was originally an ancient battlefield, and many heroic spirits were buried here, and their grievances and spiritual energy were mixed together, forming a complex leyline.
If you dig and burn bricks, you may accidentally touch these sleeping forces, and if you don't stop quickly, you may invite a catastrophe and affect the whole village.
”
When Li Mufeng heard this, he panicked in his heart, and hurriedly asked what he could do.
The old man thought for a while and said, "You have to use Taoism to resolve it, so as to calm down the grievances and protect the villagers."
You have to go with me to the east of the village, set up an altar, surpass the undead, and stop digging the earth, you have to find another way to solve the problem of livelihood.
When Li Mufeng heard this, he immediately gathered several village elders and went to the east of the village together.
The old man took out the magic weapon he brought with him, laid down the magic circle, and recited the scriptures, his voice was so loud that the sky was resounding.
Oops, this is really not easy, we have to take care of it.
You see, as soon as the scripture is sung, our air is frozen, and the spiritual power circles around the circle like a small river, and finally turns into small stars, crackling and flying into the sky.
When the people in the village saw this posture, they were excited, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic, and tears were pouring into their eyes.
Li Mufeng, this buddy, his heart is surging, he realized a truth, the real strength is not in how hard those bricks and tiles are, but in the kindness and unity of people's hearts.
After surpassing those undead, the old man threw down an ancient book and walked away, leaving a sentence: "This book is full of Taoist secret methods, which can help you find a new way."
Li Mufeng flipped through the book, good guy, the farming, medical skills, and handicrafts recorded in it were much deeper than what they knew before.
Under the guidance of the old man, Yunyin Village began to try to grow drought-tolerant crops, improve farm tools, and use the medical skills in ancient books to treat the villagers, and life gradually improved.
Li Mufeng, this buddy, has become the wisdom of the village, he not only understands bricks and tiles, but also integrates Taoist wisdom into life, and takes everyone out of a new road.
Yunyin Village is no longer tossed by natural and man-made disasters, and has become a harmonious, prosperous and hopeful place.
The strange relationship between Li Mufeng and the old man has also become a beautiful talk in the village, inspiring future generations to be kind-based, brave to explore, and keep moving forward.
Besides, after Li Mufeng got the ancient Taoist book, he was both surprised and happy in his heart.
To his surprise, there was so much more knowledge in this book than he had thought, as if it had opened the door to a new world; Happily, with the guidance of this book, the future of Yunyin Village seems to have infinite possibilities.
He first called a few young men from the village, lit lamps and boiled oil, memorized the farming skills in the ancient books, and then combined with the actual situation in the village, he made a new planting plan.
They planted drought-tolerant maize and sorghum, and also used the methods of crop rotation and intercropping mentioned in ancient books, which not only increased land use, but also increased grain production.
Li Mufeng has not forgotten that medical skill, he knows that in this difficult environment, a healthy body is the biggest capital of the villagers.
So, he taught himself medical skills and used some simple herbs to treat the villagers' diseases, and his reputation slowly spread in the nearby villages, and many villagers from other villages also came to him to seek medical treatment.
But Li Mufeng knew in his heart that if he wanted to truly change the fate of Yunyin Village, these were far from enough.
He pondered and pondered, and decided to use his brick and tile craftsmanship, combined with the architectural wisdom in ancient books, to create a new development path for Yunyin Village.
He took a few young men and began to use the special materials and methods mentioned in the ancient books to fire the green bricks, these green bricks, not only the color is beautiful, the texture is hard, but also seems to have a little indescribable spiritual power, the house built with them is strong and durable, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Oh, this news is like growing legs, and as soon as it slips away, the matter of the green bricks in Yunyin Village will spread all over the place.
When the merchants heard about it, they all hurried to it, and they were willing to pay a lot of money for these bricks, and wanted to take them back to build a mansion.
Li Mufeng, this young man, really hasn't forgotten what he thought at the beginning, he insisted on exchanging this green brick for food and daily necessities, so that the old and young masters in the village can be fed and clothed.
As this green brick became more and more popular, the reputation of Yunyin Village also rose, and there were more and more outsiders.
Li Mufeng saw the opportunity and organized everyone to start the tourism industry.
They make use of the natural scenery of the village and the unique cultural flavor to create a series of tourism projects, such as ancient road exploration, spiritual spring bathing, and farming experience, so that tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery and feel the charm of Yunyin Village at the same time.
In this process, Li Mufeng, a kid, was sober-minded, he didn't let money and fame be confused, but paid more attention to protecting the environment and culture of the village.
He set a set of strict travel rules, prohibiting anything that damages the environment, and encouraged the villagers to pass on the traditional culture of Yunyin Village so that this precious heritage can be passed on forever.
Time flies, decades pass in the blink of an eye.
Under the leadership of Li Mufeng, Yunyin Village has changed from a small village that is so poor that it has become a tourist resort that is very rich.
The life of the villagers was turned upside down, living in new houses made of blue bricks, eating a table full of delicious food, wearing beautiful clothes, and smiling brighter than flowers.
Li Mufeng, a young man, has also changed from an ordinary young man to the spiritual leader of Yunyin Village.
His story spread faster than the wind in the village, and it became a good story.
Whenever night falls, the old people in the village will sit around the bonfire and tell the children how Li Mufeng digs soil and burns bricks, how he gets the guidance of the old man, and how he leads everyone out of the predicament.
But for Li Mufeng, this is just the beginning.
He knows that as long as there is love, dreams, and persistence in his heart, nothing will be difficult.
He believes that Yunyin Village will encounter more opportunities and challenges in the future, and he will continue to lead the villagers to move forward bravely and create a better tomorrow.
But the years are not forgiving, and Uncle Li's body and bones have begun to make trouble.
The old Chinese medicine doctor in the village tried his best to relieve him at most.
The people in the village looked distressed and anxious like ants on a hot pot, and they persuaded him to go to the big hospital in the city to have a look, but he always waved his hand and said, "My old bones can last a few years."
Spend money on the children, build more schools, let them learn more.
”
Although he said that, Uncle Li knew in his heart that he was not as good as a day.
He began to cherish the time he spent with the people in the village even more, and from time to time he would gather everyone to chat together and tell stories about the past.
His story is told vividly and interestingly, and it is full of wisdom and reason, which makes people's hearts warm.
One day, Uncle Li suddenly called several elders and young people in the village together and said that he wanted to have a meeting.
At the meeting, he announced a decision with a serious face: "I want to donate all the ancient Taoist books in my hand and the savings I have saved over the years to the village for education and medical care."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
That ancient book is priceless, Uncle Li's savings, that is his life's work.
But Uncle Li was very calm, he said: "People live for a lifetime, just like grass and trees, and autumn passes."
The luckiest thing in my life is to be able to experience the wind and rain with everyone in Yunyin Village, and watch the village get better day by day.
Now that I'm old, it's time for me to contribute to the village.
”
His decision was warmly responded to by the whole village.
The villagers all said that they would inherit Uncle Li's legacy and build Yunyin Village into a more beautiful place.
Under the leadership of Uncle Li, Yunyin Village began a major reform of education and medical care.
With the money donated by Uncle Li, several modern schools and hospitals were built.
In the school, there are not only traditional cultural classes, but also modern courses such as computers and English, so that children can get in touch with the wider world.
In the hospital, professional doctors and nurses have been invited to provide good medical services to the villagers, and health problems are no longer a problem.
With the improvement of these facilities, Yunyin Village has changed.
It is no longer a small and closed village, but a modern community full of vitality and hope.
The living standards of the villagers have improved and their spirits have been renewed.
They began to pursue a higher level of spiritual and cultural life, and held various theatrical performances and sports competitions, and the whole village was filled with laughter and laughter.
Li Mufeng, the old man, the pillar of our village, has been busy all his life, and he can finally rest and enjoy the blessings of his old age.
His little nest, made of green bricks, has a very antique smell.
Every day, I raise flowers, plant grass, read, write, and live a comfortable life.
Don't look at his body and bones are not as good as before, that mentality is young.
He always likes to say: "Life is like acting, there are highs and lows, this is called life."
If there is love and dreams in the heart, that person will always be young.
”
Time flies, and in a flash, it's the winter solstice of another year.
That night, our Yunyin Village ushered in a rare heavy snowfall.
Snowflakes fluttered and sprinkled, decorating the whole village like a fairy tale.
Li Mufeng sat by the window, looking at the snow scene outside, and his heart was full of emotion.
He knew that his days were numbered.
But our old man also believes that the future of our Yunyin Village will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
Just as he was thinking about it, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
As soon as he opened the door, the good fellows, it turned out to be the children of the village, who came running in the heavy snow, carrying hot dumplings and rice wine in their hands.
They surrounded Li Mufeng, eating dumplings and drinking rice wine, while listening to him tell those old but legendary stories.
At that moment, the smile on Li Mufeng's face was brighter than a flower, as if he had returned to that young era full of dreams and hopes.
In this way, on such a quiet and warm winter night, Li Mufeng closed his eyes peacefully.
In his life, although ordinary, he is also quite great.
He used his actions to tell us what responsibility is, what dedication is, and what true love is.
And our Yunyin Village, under the guidance of his spirit, will continue to move forward and meet a more brilliant tomorrow.
