Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

"Could there be another landslide somewhere? From the sound it seems to be in the direction of the back mountain." Sean quickly put on his clothes and ran towards the back mountain in a hurry.

After passing the bus stop, walk up the mountain road until you reach the back of Carpenter Robin's house, next to the birch forest where Linus lives.

Further in is the uphill path leading to the abandoned train station.

At this time, many people were gathered at the T-junction, whispering to each other. Sean walked over with curiosity.

"Looking at the extent of the damage, the road to the back mountain is completely cut off."

"I won't be using the public bathroom these days."

The public bathhouse on the back mountain was originally a place for miners to wash, and it has a history of a hundred years.

"There are still people living in the back mountain. I don't know what's going on with them."

"It's Susan, right? Pierre's grocery store has been selling agricultural products from her Emerald Farm, and the quality has always been good. I hope she's okay."

"It's okay. I saw her just greeting the mayor on the cliff above us."

Some people are worried about the people affected by the disaster.

"Do you think this landslide has something to do with the Joja bombing next door?"

"Of course! Look at the detonators and the noise. They must have been blasting the mountain over there and brought the rocks down here."

This is a discussion about the cause of the accident.

"I don't know when a path will be cleared, so it won't be like the community center and the bridge on the south beach, which took several years until there was no sound at all."

"What are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything wrong. It's only because you guys are so lazy that this town has become like this."

This is the town's gay guys usually making sarcastic remarks.

As Sean looked over, he saw a huge rock standing there like a hill, completely blocking the narrow path. The surrounding land and trees were also ruthlessly swept into the disaster, leaving a mess.

Broken branches, dirt, and debris were scattered all over the ground, forming an insurmountable obstacle.

The traces of the landslide are clearly visible, extending from the top of the mountain all the way to the foot of the boulder, as if a huge plow had plowed it from top to bottom.

The air was filled with the smell of soil and moist plants, mixed with an indescribable heavy atmosphere.

Whispers and sighs were heard in the crowd. Everyone was worried about the impact this blocked mountain road would have on their lives, and they were also worried about those who might be trapped in the back mountains.

At this time, Lewis had arrived at the blasting site and started negotiating with the project manager.

Because the construction team was invited by Morris from other places, the project manager was very arrogant at first and ignored Lewis.

Lewis was so angry that he was fuming. It was only after the accompanying personnel revealed their identities that the other party's attitude softened, but of course only a little.

The project manager expressed his responsibility to his employer and repeatedly stated that work could only be stopped with Morris' approval.

"I'm the only one who does this on weekdays, okay!" Lewis was very angry at this attitude of passing the buck.

Lewis threw up his sleeves and prepared to go settle accounts with Morris.

"Stop work! Stop work immediately!" Lewis rushed into Morris' office with an angry face.

"Mayor Liu, what's wrong? How come you, a busy man, have time to come to me? Come, have a cup of coffee and calm down. Who made you so angry?" Morris was leisurely making coffee behind the mahogany desk, in sharp contrast to Lewis's impatient appearance.

"Did you hear me? I told you to stop the work immediately! That blasting project in the back mountain! Do you know that you have caused a big disaster?" Lewis pushed away the coffee handed to him by Morris and shouted, pointing at his nose.

Then another person ran into the office. It was the project manager.

He walked forward and whispered to Morris, briefly explaining the situation.

Morris nodded after listening: "I understand, you can go out first."

After the man left and closed the door, Morris took a sip of coffee slowly and said, "We have to use evidence when we talk. It's wrong for you to slander people with empty words, Mayor Liu."

"Look, the place where I'm blasting is more than a mile away from where your landslide occurred. We can't say that this is our responsibility."

"Besides, I have already approved the documents for this blasting project for you, and you agreed to it, and I also posted a notice in advance. You can't deny the signature in black and white. Why are you blaming me now that something went wrong? Could it be that Mayor Liu is trying to extort money?" Morris put down his coffee and stared at Lewis. His sarcastic tone was like a punch to his gold-rimmed glasses.

"This landslide is a chain reaction of the mountain bombing. Don't try to escape responsibility." Lewis was amused by Morris' attitude.

"Everything must be based on evidence. There are so many coincidences in this world, and people die every moment. As you said, all the people who died during the time I was blasting should be blamed on me."

"You! You are making excuses!" Lewis slammed the table.

"Calm down, calm down. Don't get angry and hurt yourself. This is not our responsibility and I can't take it for it." Morris put down the coffee cup, turned the chair and started trimming the green plants on the side.

"Aren't you afraid of arousing public anger?" Lewis threatened with his trump card.

"How could that be? I think the residents of Pelican Town are all reasonable people. My blasting project is for building a factory and increasing employment. It is also for the future of Pelican Town."

Morris picked up the scissors and cut them. "This mountain is like this green plant. It will be a nuisance if we don't take care of it. Only by blowing it up can it be revitalized."

The inexplicable words made Lewis frown.

"Just like Pelican Town, it needs daily care to thrive. If it's not taken care of, it will die like the potted plant over there." Morris said, pointing to a completely dead plant in a dark corner.

"How are all the residents of Pelican Town doing? There's no need for an outsider like you to tell you." Lewis took a few deep breaths before he recovered.

"Sometimes only outsiders can see things clearly, right? Some of the facilities in Pelican Town are seriously outdated and need regular maintenance." Morris showed a sinister smile.

"Like the hillside where the landslide just happened, may I ask Mayor Liu how long has the landslide protection facilities on that hillside not been maintained? I saw it for a while, right?"

The answer was self-evident from Lewis's grim expression.

"You are just making excuses to divert attention, attributing the accident to these things! Can you say you are responsible for this accident? Who will clean up such a large landslide?"

"This is not our responsibility, so it's not our turn as outsiders to take action. Of course, if Mayor Liu admits in front of all the townspeople that he is powerless, then I don't mind helping."

"Mayor Liu, you need to think carefully about how many facilities like this have fallen into disrepair during your tenure. If they are exposed, it will be difficult to say what your future position will be."

"..."

The discussion with Morris naturally ended unpleasantly.

Morris's shameless attitude made Lewis very angry.

Morris also wanted to use this incident to deliberately warn Lewis, hoping that he would restart the terminated land acquisition plan as soon as possible.
