Chapter 47: Fate Comes and Goes

The plan is indeed over, but the people of Yinxian Valley can still choose to stay.

This news spread and was confirmed by the accompanying personnel of the planning team, so one day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole valley was full of people discussing this matter.

Leng Zhiheng and some staff set up a platform in the threshing ground, requiring all residents in the valley to complete their registration today, and also answering their questions.

Needless to say, those who choose to leave directly will follow the original contract.

Not only can they get the remuneration promised in the contract, but they can also restore their files, or change their place of origin and other information. The planning team will properly handle everything, even including the corresponding additional residence.

And those who choose to stay will not just choose to stay and have nothing. The funds promised in the contract will still be there.

You can designate an account or a corresponding person to collect it on your behalf, and the files will be restored to their original place of origin. Of course, if you choose to give up these things, you can also do so.

There is no other, because the entire planning team will only track until the end of this lunar month.

After that, the Powang Project Team was completely disbanded and most of the files were destroyed.

Yes, the files will be destroyed, and only some original confidentiality agreements will be retained. This is because all participants in the plan need to keep confidentiality not only during the plan, but also ten years after the end of the plan.

This clause was originally intended to prevent Liu Hongyu from knowing the truth too early after waking up from his dream, which would lead to the recurrence of psychological problems, but it is still retained now.

Everyone needs to make a choice, either individually or as a family unit.

People in the whole valley are talking about this.

It is not easy to participate in the Delusion Breaking Plan and go through the elimination stage to become an actor. No one is a real fool. Clear logic and complete thinking ability are beyond doubt.

So most people can figure out a lot of things.

The planning team will no longer be responsible for Yinxian Valley at the end of the month. If you stay in Yinxian Valley, you will have to solve many troubles by yourself when you go out, and you will have one less house!

Yes, if you choose an identity other than your place of origin, the planning team's resettlement includes housing, and although it is not stated explicitly, it is highly likely that it will not be calculated in the remuneration funds.

And although Yinxian Valley is good, it is fake after all. If you stay here, you will always have to return to society. This is what many people think.

Of course, there are also happy ones.

Some people thought that Yinxian Valley would be like the peripheral sites, with most of the buildings demolished and returned to the economic forest, or it might be designated as a private resort by the Liu family, but it would no longer belong to them.

But now it seems that Yinxian Valley can still exist, maybe it is still their home!

On the drying field, the platform where Leng Zhiheng and others were located, the staff had been registering information, and there were many conversations and even quarrels among the people in the valley, and they had to be responsible for comforting and explaining.

Some people were still sighing after signing, and the family members next to them began to complain.

"Alas, I really don't want to leave..." "What do you want to leave? Haven't you stayed here long enough?"

"Go home quickly, there are still many things to pack!" "Mom, can I not leave..."

"How will you live if you don't leave? Master's knowledge can make a living by ancient Chinese literature, do you have this ability?"

...

An old craftsman asked every staff member.

"Who is in charge?" "I am, I am, my last name is Leng, I can represent the Liu Group!"

"Then tell me, young man, if we stay here, they won't suddenly come and drive us away one day, right?"

"Of course not, don't worry, old man, the planning group will be disbanded at the end of the month. Even if you don't believe me, you can always trust Master Zhuang, right?"

"Oh, yes, Master Zhuang won't leave either?"

"Yes, Master Zhuang won't leave..."

Leng Zhiheng didn't know how many times he had explained this kind of thing. After a morning of torture, he learned to be smart and found that as long as he mentioned Master Zhuang's name, those who wanted to stay would mostly be appeased.

"Hey, don't do it over there, don't do it——"

Leng Zhiheng immediately turned over and went to the stage to maintain order after hearing this.

Originally, the people in the valley were always harmonious, but in the last one or two days today, there were some conflicts, and many of them were even between family members.

Of course, some people have made an agreement to change their files and choose to settle together, and some young men and women have already made private engagements.

Although there was only one wedding in Yinxian Valley, the relationship cultivated in the valley may be purer than outside, and the economic conditions of the relatives chosen here will not be bad.

Before sunset in the afternoon, the information had basically been registered. Leng Zhiheng was so busy that he didn't even have a chance to smoke.

Fortunately, he had a meal last night, and Leng Zhiheng felt energetic today.

And tonight is also the last night for many residents in the valley in Yinxian Valley.

This night, all those who registered their information, whether they chose to stay or leave, almost all suffered from insomnia, including children.

In Duan Yonghua's home, the eight-year-old child did not sleep in his own room tonight, but lay between his parents.

"Is your master really not leaving? What about Xiaowen?"

"Xiaowen is young, it's okay for him to stay here for a few years. I can help him settle down when he gets out in the future... As for the master, he wants to spend the rest of his life here, the environment here is good..."

"That's true."

"Oh, what should I do with the several medicinal gardens that my master and I have cultivated in the mountains? Those medicinal herbs are growing so well, and some of the old seeds that have been preserved have sprouted..."

"Isn't the old man still here? Why do you worry about him?"

"The master is old!" "I think he is in good health now!"

The child also looked up at his parents.

"Mom and Dad, I don't want to leave either..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You should be in the third grade of elementary school at your age. If you are late, you will not be able to keep up with the progress!"

"Can I go and say goodbye to the master tomorrow..."

"That's what I should do. Go to bed quickly. I'm busy tomorrow." "Yes, I will pack up and leave with the convoy tomorrow..."

In Grandpa Mu's house, Mu Hongwen also slept with his grandfather and kept asking about what would happen next.

These are just a microcosm of the valley.

As Zhuang Lin expected at the beginning, those who should leave will always leave, and those who should stay will definitely stay.

Zhuang Lin also did not sleep all night, but he did not toss and turn because he could not sleep, nor because he was obsessed with cultivation.

That night, Zhuang Lin sat in the school.

Under an oil lamp, a large piece of wood, a small carving knife, split and carved small seals.

The students are still children, not old enough to have a courtesy name, and perhaps they will not have one outside.

As a teacher, Zhuang Lin is qualified to decide the courtesy names for the younger generation, regardless of their knowledge or age. Tonight he carved a seal for each student, and the words on it were the ones he had decided for the children in advance.

Qianping, Gongbo, Yi'an, Zixuan, Mingtang, Xiaoling, Suining...

Zhuang Lin remembered the personality of each student, and each courtesy name was based on their own temperament, plus his expectations...

-----------------

The next morning, the cocks crowed, and everyone in the valley got up early. Many families were packing their luggage, and even their dogs had to be taken away.

Some people who decided to stay also went to help spontaneously.

Zhuang Lin also stood in the front yard of the school from the crowing of the cock. Many people came to the school to say goodbye to him.

Some were children who came by themselves, some were accompanied by their parents, some were smiling, and some burst into tears.

One student came alone and bowed deeply to Zhuang Lin.

"Teacher, I am leaving, please take care!"

He ran away again after saying that.

Some came with several children. On weekdays, the teacher was majestic, but today they all surrounded Zhuang Lin. Zhuang Lin took the initiative to reach out and hug them, and the children broke the boundaries and hugged him.

"Teacher, take care!" "Teacher, can we still listen to your class in the future?"

"Teacher, I don't want to leave..."

......

Of course, the children were reluctant to leave the teacher, and also reluctant to leave some of the friends who stayed behind, and they also agreed to meet each other outside when they had the chance.

Some children stayed in the school for a long time, and their parents came to find them, and there would be a period of pulling.

Some cried and shouted "I don't want to leave", or left after a round of "coercion and inducement"...

But no matter whether it was a child who stayed in the school for a while, or a teenager who ran away after saying goodbye.

Zhuang Lin handed the seals he had carved to the people who belonged to him, either by hand or by asking someone to deliver them for him.

Of course, in addition to children, there were also many adults who came to say goodbye.

After that, there was still a section of mountain road to go. The people in the valley packed up their things and put them on some horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts, and soon went out of the valley.

After all, the number of people who stayed in Yinxian Valley was a minority, probably less than one-third.

This part of people helped together since early morning, and finally, together with Zhuang Lin, sent the team all the way to the intersection above the valley.

Everyone said goodbye, said a few words at the end, and had to catch up with the carriages and horses where their luggage was as the team moved forward.

This is a real paradise, which is a common little secret in the hearts of the people in the valley.

People are fortunate to live together here for a long time, but they have to say goodbye after all!

Zhuang Lin and Mr. Mu stood together. The students who stayed behind were basically around them. When a friend who was leaving passed by, a group of people would say goodbye together.

Sometimes they laughed, sometimes they cried...

Leng Zhiheng was undoubtedly the busiest person, but now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When the carriages and horses had left this opening, Leng Zhiheng wiped his sweat and came to Zhuang Lin and others. Looking at the group of people still standing there, he smiled and said.

"Master Zhuang, I have to say goodbye too. You have resources. If you really plan to enter the entertainment industry in the future, don't forget to sign for me!"

Zhuang Lin smiled and just bowed.

"Thank you for your care. Goodbye! Please take care of the neighbors on the way!"

"Don't worry about that. I have to at least give an explanation to the boss, right? Okay, goodbye, everyone. Oh, we may not see each other again! Grandpa Mu, I'm leaving!"

Mu Chen also bowed his hands and saluted. Without saying anything, he looked at the figure of his apprentice and his family going away.

Leng Zhiheng laughed and wanted to wave, but after a moment of hesitation, he followed the "local custom" and made a slightly awkward bow, and then trotted to catch up with the team in front.

The whole convoy will pass by Muleng Primary School, where they will meet with the last batch of field staff, and then leave the reserve together...

On the hill at the entrance of the valley, Zhuang Lin and others stood there and watched the convoy go away little by little. They saw them go down the mountain, pass the orchard, and enter the mountain road until they disappeared from sight.

Zhuang Lin retracted his gaze and looked at the remaining people in the valley.

At this time, the remaining people in the valley stood in a long row at the edge of the valley in groups of three or two, and their eyes were mostly cast in the direction where the team was going away.

Basically, except for a few children, most of them were elderly, and few of them had complete families.

There were also a few young people like Fu Zeyang, but the people who went to Jin Dynasty together that time actually all stayed in the crowd, which was a little surprising to Zhuang Lin.

I thought Tang Bin should leave anyway. He seemed to have confessed to a girl last night?

Zhuang Lin thought so, but he didn't plan to find the other party to confirm it, so as not to embarrass him.

"Alas, the valley is much quieter now..."

Grandpa Mu's words broke the silence nearby.

Zhuang Lin looked around, his face was not sad, his smile was like a warm spring breeze, giving the nearby children an inexplicable sense of security.

"It's a good thing to spend time here and leave some beautiful memories!"

After saying that, Zhuang Lin nodded to the people around him and took the lead to go back to the valley along the mountain path. The children around him subconsciously followed the master.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. We knew that this day would come at the beginning. On the contrary, we can stay here, which is an unexpected surprise!"

As Fu Zeyang said this, he stretched his waist and moved his legs and feet that were a little sore because of helping to carry.

Tang Bin also came over at this time.

"Yes, but this is a protected area after all. There will be no planning group in the future. If the country finds out that we live here, will it be considered illegal?"

Old man Qiao over there smiled.

"Then you are worrying too much. The economic forest area has been contracted for 70 years. By then, we old bones would have died long ago. And you young people, with so much money outside, can you bear not to go out?"

"Yes, and these children will leave eventually... Disperse!"

"Hey, can I change my residence?" "Yes, there are many empty houses!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I have already made an agreement with Aunt Wang's family. The yard they left is mine!"

"Then I have to change my residence too!"

The people in the valley encouraged each other and then dispersed.

But when they returned to the valley, facing the quiet Yinxian Valley, they still felt a little melancholy in their hearts, and some people even couldn't help but feel a little regretful...
