This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 47 Fate Comes and Goes
The plan has indeed ended, but the people of Yinxian Valley can still choose to stay.

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

Leng Zhiheng and some staff members set up a platform in the threshing ground and required all residents in the valley to complete registration today. Their questions would also be answered.

For those who choose to leave directly, then needless to say, they will just follow the original contract.

Not only can you get the remuneration promised in the contract, but you can also restore your files or change various information such as your place of origin. The planning team will handle everything properly, even including the corresponding additional accommodation.

Those who choose to stay will not lose everything just by choosing to stay. 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 course, you can also choose to give up these things.

There is nothing else because the entire planning team will only track until the end of the lunar month.

After that, the Project Delusion Breaking 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 program participants are required to maintain confidentiality not only during the program, but also for many years after the program ends.

This rule was originally intended to prevent Liu Hongyu from knowing the truth too soon after waking up from his dream, which would cause psychological problems to re-emerge, but it is still retained now.

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

Everyone in the valley was talking about it.

It is not easy to participate in the Delusion-Breaking Project and go through the elimination process to become an actor. No one is really stupid, and 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 a lot of troubles by yourself when you go out again, and you will have one less house!
Yes, if you choose an identity other than your country of origin, the planned group placement includes housing, and although it is not explicitly stated, it is likely that it will not be calculated in the remuneration funds.

Moreover, although the Hidden Immortal Valley is nice, it is fake after all. Many people think that if you stay here, you will have to return to society.

Of course there are also joys.

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

But now it seems that Yinxian Valley can still exist, perhaps this is still my home!
In the threshing ground, at the platform where Leng Zhiheng and others were, the staff were constantly registering information. They could hear the conversations and even quarrels of the people in the valley, and they were also responsible for comforting and explaining things.

Someone had just finished signing and was still sighing when his family members next to him started scolding him.

"Oh, I really can't bear to leave." "What are you reluctant to leave? Haven't you had enough of staying here?"

"Hurry home, there are still many things to pack!" "Mom, can I not leave?"

"How will you live if you don't leave? Master, you can make a living by studying ancient Chinese literature. Do you have the ability to do that?"

An old craftsman asked every staff member.

"Who among you is responsible? Who is responsible?" "I am, I am, my last name is Leng, and I can represent the Liu Group!"

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

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

"Oh, yes, Master Zhuang isn't leaving either?"

"Yes, Master Zhuang will not leave."

Leng Zhiheng didn't know how many times he had to explain this kind of thing. After a whole morning of torture, he had learned his lesson and found that as long as he mentioned Master Zhuang's name, those who wanted to stay could most likely be appeased.

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

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhiheng immediately turned over and went onto the stage to maintain order.

Originally, the people in the valley had always been harmonious, but in the last one or two days, 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 when the time comes. There are also some young men and women whose families have already privately arranged marriages.

Although there has only been one wedding in Yinxian Valley, the feelings cultivated in the valley may be purer than those outside, and the economic conditions of the in-laws chosen here will not be bad.

By the afternoon, just before sunset, almost all the information had been registered. Leng Zhiheng was so busy that he didn't even have a chance to smoke.

Fortunately, thanks to the meal last night, Leng Zhiheng felt full of energy today.

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

That night, almost everyone who had registered their information, whether they chose to stay or leave, suffered from insomnia, including the children.

At 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?"

"Xiao Wen is young, so it's fine for him to live here for a few years. I can help him settle down when he gets out. As for Master, he wants to spend his old age here. The environment here is good."

"That's true."

"Oh, what should I do with the several medicinal gardens that Master and I have cultivated in the mountains? The herbs are growing so well, and some of the old seeds I saved have sprouted."

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

"Master is old!" "I think he is in good health now!"

The child now 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 at your age. If you're any later, you won't be able to keep up!"

"Then can I go and say goodbye to the Master tomorrow?"

"That's what we should do. Go to sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow." "Yes, we'll pack up tomorrow and leave with the convoy."

At Grandpa Mu's house, Mu Hongwen also slept with his grandfather and kept asking about what happened next.

These are just a microcosm of the valley.

Just as Zhuang Lin had expected, those who should leave will eventually leave, and those who should stay will definitely stay.

Zhuang Lin also stayed awake all night, but he was not tossing and turning because he couldn't sleep, nor was he obsessed with cultivation.

That night, Zhuang Lin sat in the classroom.

Under an oil lamp, a large piece of wood and a small carving knife were used to split and carve out small seals. The students were still children, not old enough to have courtesy names, and perhaps they would never have them outside.

As a teacher, Zhuang Lin is qualified to choose characters for his juniors, regardless of their education or age. Tonight, he carved a seal for each student, and on it were the characters he had chosen 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 chosen based on their personality, combined with his expectations.
The next morning, when the cocks crowed, everyone in the valley got up early. Many families were packing their luggage, even taking their dogs with them.

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

Zhuang Lin also stood in the front yard of the school since the rooster crowed, and many people came to the school to say goodbye to him.

Some of the children came by themselves, some were accompanied by their parents, some were smiling, and some were crying uncontrollably.

A student came running over and bowed deeply to Zhuang Lin.

"Master, I'm leaving. Please take care!"

After saying that, he ran away again.

Some of them came together with several children. The teacher was usually majestic, but today they all gathered around Zhuang Lin. Zhuang Lin took the initiative to reach out and hug them, and the children broke the boundaries and hugged him.

"Master, take care!" "Master, can we still listen to your lectures in the future?"

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

Of course, the children were reluctant to leave their teacher and their friends who stayed behind, and they also made an appointment to meet each other outside when they had the chance.

Some children have been in school for a long time, and when their parents come to look for them, there will be a lot of arguing.

Some cried and shouted "I don't want to leave", while others left after being "coerced and induced".
But whether it was the children who stayed in school for a while, or the teenagers who ran away after saying goodbye.

Zhuang Lin either delivered the seals he carved himself personally or asked someone to deliver them for him, and he would hand them over to the people who belonged to 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 travel. The people in the valley packed up their things and put them on some horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts, and soon headed out of the valley.

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

This group of people started helping out early in the morning, and finally, together with Zhuang Lin, they escorted the convoy all the way to the intersection above the valley.

Everyone said their goodbyes, exchanged a few final words, and then followed the procession forward, having to catch up with the carriages containing their luggage.

This is a true paradise, a little secret shared by everyone in the valley.

People are fortunate to have lived together here for quite a long time, but they will eventually have to part ways!
Zhuang Lin and Grandpa Mu stood together, and the students who stayed behind were basically around them. When a friend who was about to leave passed by, the group would say goodbye together.

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry.
Leng Zhiheng is undoubtedly the busiest person, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

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

"Master Zhuang, I have to say goodbye. 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. Farewell! I hope you will take good care of our neighbors on your way!"

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

Mu Chen also bowed and saluted without saying anything, his gaze turning to the receding figures of his apprentice and his family.

Leng Zhiheng was laughing and wanted to wave, but after hesitating for a moment, he followed the "local custom" and made a slightly clumsy bow, then trotted to catch up with the team in front.

The entire convoy will pass by Muling Primary School, where they will meet up with the last group of field staff before leaving the reserve together.
On the small 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 withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining people in the valley.

At this time, the remaining people in the valley stood in a long line in groups of three or four at the edge of the valley, and most of their eyes were looking in the direction where the team was leaving.

Basically, except for a few children, most of them are elderly, and few of their families are left intact.

Young people like Fu Zeyang were a minority, but Zhuang Lin was a little surprised that all those who went to the Jin Dynasty together stayed in the crowd.

I thought Tang Bin would leave anyway. He seemed to have confessed his love to a girl last night.

Zhuang Lin thought so, but he had no intention of asking the other party to verify it, so as not to embarrass him.

"Ah, the valley is much quieter now."

Mr. Mu's words broke the silence around him.

Zhuang Lin looked around, there was no sadness on his face. His smile was like a warm spring breeze, giving the nearby children an inexplicable sense of security.

"Fate comes and goes, and it's nice to spend time together here and leave behind some beautiful memories!"

After saying this, 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 teacher.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. We knew this day would come. It's a pleasant surprise that we were able to stay!"

As Fu Zeyang said this, he stretched and moved his legs and feet which were a little sore from helping with the moving.

Tang Bin also came over at this time.

"Yes, that's right. But this is a protected area after all. There won't be a planning group here anymore. What if the government finds out we're living here? Would that be illegal?"

Mr. Qiao over there smiled.

"Then you're worrying too much. The economic forest area has been contracted for seventy years. By that time, we old bones would have passed away long ago. And you young people still have so much money outside. Can you bear the patience to stay out?"

"Yes, and these kids have to leave eventually. Disperse!"

"Hey, can I move to another place?" "Yes, there are many empty houses!"

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

"Then I have to move to another place!"

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

However, when returning to the valley, facing the quiet and peaceful Hidden Immortal Valley, there was still some melancholy in my heart, and some people even felt a little regretful.
