Chapter 833 The temptation to return to the village
Lin Feng decided to put his e-sports career on hold temporarily and devote himself to life in his hometown. He plans to build a villa of his own on that familiar land, which will not only serve as a haven for his soul, but also become a new world for him outside of e-sports.
On a sunny day, Lin Feng found his childhood playmate Xiaosong. The two enjoyed the cool under the old banyan tree at the head of the village and planned the design blueprint of the villa together. Xiaosong is a practical and capable carpenter. He fully supports Lin Feng's idea and agrees to help build this villa that carries Lin Feng's dream.
"Brother Feng, when you come back to build a villa, do you plan to say goodbye to the e-sports circle completely?" Xiao Song asked while smoking a cigarette and looking at the fields in the distance.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "No, Xiaosong, I just need some time to settle and think. E-sports is my passion, and it is also a part of me that I can't let go of. And here is me A place to find your original intention.”
In the days that followed, Lin Feng and Xiao Song worked side by side, sweating in the countryside, and the villa gradually turned from a drawing into a reality. In their spare time, they sat by the stream next to the construction site, recalling the fun of catching fish and shrimps as children, or discussing how to introduce e-sports education into the countryside so that more children can understand and be exposed to this challenging project. A world of passion.
On a crisp autumn afternoon, the main structure of the villa was beginning to take shape. Lin Feng stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the golden rice fields. He said to Xiaosong who was resting aside: "Xiaosong, look at this field. , just like our lives, there are sowing, cultivating, and harvesting. I want to integrate the spirit of e-sports into the soil of my hometown through this villa, so that more people can know that no matter where they are, as long as they have love, , you can create your own glory."
After hearing this, Xiaosong nodded vigorously, with expectation in his eyes: "Brother Feng, you can go ahead and do it. The people in our village will fully support you. I will too. I want to see what kind of e-sports miracle you can create in this peaceful land."
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the two of them, painting a picture full of strength and hope. . Their conversation echoed in the evening breeze.
"Xiaosong, I plan to temporarily put down my work in the e-sports circle and devote myself to life in my hometown." Lin Feng sat on the big rock next to the villa construction site, fiddling with a fishing rod in his hand, with a look in his eyes. Firmness and relief, "I want to find the simple and pure happiness here, and I also want to use this time to think and plan for the future."
Hearing this, Xiao Song looked at Lin Feng in surprise, but quickly nodded in understanding: "Brother Feng, you can make such a decision, which means you have truly found your inner destination. In fact, I have always felt that whether in the city or in As long as there is love in the heart, the countryside can shine.”
While chatting, the two hung the bait on the fishing hook and threw it into the sparkling creek. Memories of childhood are like reflections in the stream, rippling around in circles.
“I remember when we were young, we often fished by this creek. We were carefree and so happy at that time.” Xiao Song was filled with emotion, and the fishing rod in his hand shook slightly.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, with nostalgia in his eyes: "Yes, our happiness was so simple at that time. Although we are in a prosperous world now, I find that the things that touch people's hearts the most are often those that are the most The simple and most primitive thing. "
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on them. With the sound of the breeze blowing through the rice fields and the melody of the gurgling stream, Lin Feng and Xiao Song seem to have returned to that innocence. era.
"Xiao Song, do you still remember that at that time we always loved to dream about who we would be in the future?" Lin Feng put away his fishing rod and looked at the ripples on the water.
Xiao Song looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "Of course I remember, I said I wanted to be an excellent carpenter, and you said you wanted to make a name for yourself in the e-sports world. Now it seems that we have both achieved it. The original dream."
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes bright: "Yes, we have all gone a long way on our own paths, but no matter what, I will never forget where we started. Forget the shared love for hometown and e-sports.”
As night falls, the fields under the stars become more quiet and peaceful. Lin Feng and Xiao Song walked home with their fishing rods in hand, leaving a series of deep footprints behind them, which were the imprints that carried their dreams and memories.
"Xiaosong, come with me to the town tomorrow to buy some books. I want to build an e-sports learning room in the village to let children understand this field. Maybe one day in the future, they will get out of this field. , moving towards a broader stage." Lin Feng's words were full of expectation and determination.
After hearing this, Xiaosong patted Lin Feng's shoulder hard: "Brother Feng, I support you! Let's work together to let the seeds of e-sports take root and sprout in this land, so that more people can see that even in the countryside, You can also have the right to pursue your e-sports dream.”
The next day, Lin Feng and Xiao Song went to the town to buy books and prepare to build an e-sports study room. However, when word of their plan spread around the village, it didn't gain everyone's support. Especially the village party secretary Lao Li, who adheres to the traditional concept and believes that e-sports is a sign of not doing his job properly, and firmly opposes the introduction of this kind of "playing things to lose one's ambition" into the village.
That afternoon, Lin Feng was discussing with Xiao Song how to arrange the study room at the villa construction site, when the village party secretary Lao Li broke in angrily. His face was serious, with dissatisfaction and determination in his eyes: "Lin Feng, I heard that you are going to build an e-sports learning room in the village? You are trying to lead the children astray!" After Lin Feng heard this, he felt sad in his heart Helpless, but still keeping calm, he tried to persuade Lao Li: "Uncle Li, e-sports is not just about playing games. It is a competitive sport and a nationally recognized sport. We hope that through this study room, people in the village can Children will have another way to understand the world, and they may even discover their potential and move out of the village to a bigger stage.”
However, Lao Li was not moved by Lin Feng’s words. , but became even more angry: "E-sports is e-sports, no matter how you package it, it can't change its essence! What you do will only delay children's learning and make them forget that farming is the right way!" As soon as he finished speaking, he He waved his hand to several strong men behind him, "Clean up all those messy things for me. Don't ruin the atmosphere here!"
Faced with the sudden violent interference, although Lin Feng was indignant, he knew that it was not wise to go head-on at this moment. Just as those strong men were about to take action, Lin Feng straightened his back and looked at Old Li firmly: "Uncle Li, I understand your insistence on the traditional lifestyle, but I believe that e-sports can also bring new ideas to young people. A way out. Please give us a chance and give the children in the village a chance to be exposed to new things."
However, no matter how hard Lin Feng argued, Lao Li's attitude was always tough, and in the end, in chaos. , Lin Feng unfortunately received a severe beating. Despite the pain, he still did not forget to look back at Lao Li with firm eyes and said word by word: "Even if you stop me today, you can't stop the development and progress of the times. One day, e-sports education will be more popular. People accept it, and I will continue to work hard for this goal."
After this conflict, Lin Feng was beaten black and blue, but his belief became stronger. He knows that although this road is difficult, he must persevere, not only for his love for e-sports, but also to give rural children the opportunity to be exposed to more possibilities and bravely pursue their dreams. .
After lying in the hospital bed for a few days, Lin Feng's body gradually recovered. The parents looked at their son with distress, and the mother persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Feng'er, your dad and I both understand your persistence and love, but sometimes, we have to compromise with reality. You see, Uncle Li and the others are also trying to Considering the tranquility and traditional life of the village, maybe e-sports can shine in the city, but it is really difficult to be accepted in our small mountain village."
The father held Lin Feng's hand tightly and said solemnly: "Son, although farming is hard, it can actually support our family. It's good that you have this dedication to e-sports, but you can't give up the foundation of life because of this. Take good care of your body first, and then follow us Plant the fields together and realize your e-sports dream when you have the opportunity in the future.”
Lin Feng looked at his parents' worried faces with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that what his parents said was true, but the fire in his heart did not go out, but became even more intense. He endured the pain and responded with a smile: "Mom, dad, don't worry, I won't give up completely because of this setback. I will work with you to do a good job in the farm work first, and at the same time, I will also look for opportunities to make the village better." People understand and accept e-sports.”
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Feng actively engaged in farming life and began to plan how to introduce e-sports education into the countryside in a gentler and more down-to-earth manner. He knows that only when e-sports intersects with real life can the inherent concepts of the older generation be truly broken.
One evening after the rain, Lin Feng found Aunt Zhang, a primary school teacher in the village, explained his ideas to her, and invited her to open a summer camp with the theme of "E-Sports and Teamwork" during the summer vacation Activity. Although Aunt Zhang didn't know much about e-sports, she saw the passion and determination in Lin Feng's eyes and decided to support his attempt.
After the news came out, there was a lot of discussion in the village. Although Lao Li and others are still opposed, many young people and enlightened parents have expressed support and are willing to let their children participate in this novel summer camp.
With the summer coming, Lin Feng and Komatsu worked together to prepare for an e-sports summer camp. They set up several computers in the simple village activity room and carefully designed a series of educational and entertaining game sessions. On the first day of the camp, looking at the excited and curious eyes of the children, Lin Feng took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Children, what we have to do today is not just to play games, but more importantly, to learn teamwork and face challenges. The spirit of challenge. Remember, whether in the game or in life, the most important thing is to stick to your original intention and be down-to-earth.”
As the summer camp progressed, more and more villagers began to change their views on e-sports. They saw the unity, hard work and wisdom displayed by the children in the game, and they also understood why Lin Feng was so persistent. In this process, Lin Feng also found new possibilities for combining e-sports with local culture. He firmly believed that in this familiar field, a different kind of e-sports flower would be born.
"Xiaosong, look at these children, their smiling faces are the motivation for me to keep moving forward." Lin Feng stood outside the activity room, looking at the children indoors who were participating in the activities attentively, and was filled with emotion, "I know this There is still a long way to go, but I believe that as long as we work hard, one day e-sports will take root in this land and bloom the most beautiful flowers.”
Xiao Song patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. , a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Feng, don't worry, we will stay with you until that day comes." Under the sunset, the two people's figures were stretched out, silhouetted against the e-sports classroom. on the window.
After lying in the hospital bed for several days, Lin Feng gradually recovered. Although he knew that the conflict with the village party secretary Li Damen could not be resolved immediately, his determination to rectify the name of e-sports education has not wavered. After careful consideration, he decided to put aside his personal grudges temporarily and first change the villagers' perception of e-sports through practical actions.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Feng, Xiaosong and Aunt Zhang summarized the experience of the summer camp and planned to hold an e-sports knowledge lecture in the village, inviting e-sports practitioners in the city to share their stories and e-sports The development status of the industry. They hope that in this way, villagers will understand that e-sports is not just a simple game, but also a competitive sport with a rigorous training system and broad development prospects.
At the same time, Lin Feng also began to prepare for a small rural e-sports competition, encouraging young people in the village to form teams to participate, so that they can experience the fun and challenges brought by e-sports first-hand. He also specially invited Lao Li's son Xiaoqiang to participate, hoping to take this opportunity to break the ice in Lao Li's heart.
One evening, Lin Feng found Lao Li, holding a detailed e-sports competition plan in his hand, and said sincerely: "Uncle Li, I know you have many doubts about my promotion of e-sports, but I sincerely hope you can give children a chance to try this e-sports competition, not only for entertainment, but also to cultivate their teamwork skills and perseverance in the face of setbacks.”
Lao Li. Looking at Lin Feng, who was covered in scars but had firm eyes, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and took over the plan: "Fengzi, you have a kind of tenacity, and I, Lao Li, admire it. Since you are so persistent, Then I will give you a chance, but the prerequisite is that it will not affect the children's study and farm work."
After getting Lao Li's acquiescence, Lin Feng's heart fell to the ground. He started organizing all aspects of the competition non-stop, and this event also received the support and participation of more and more villagers.
