"Hei Wa, tell me, how much food do you have?" Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Bai Jiaxuan didn't agree immediately, but asked first.
"Four thousand five hundred shi." Xiang Nan gave Bai Jiaxuan a solid amount, "It's enough to eat."
Bai Jiaxuan was shocked when he heard this, and then cupped his hands, "Hei Wa, thank you on behalf of the villagers."
Now the price of grain is skyrocketing, and one stone of grain costs one hundred oceans. Forty-five hundred shi, that's 450,000 yuan. It's not worth the money to sell all the people in Bailu Village.
But Xiang Nan gave out so much food, he was like a living **** who rescued the suffering and the great savior of Bailu Village.
"You're welcome, Uncle Jiaxuan, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is also the merit I have accumulated." Xiang Nan waved his hands.
Bai Jiaxuan nodded, "After this famine is over, I will really build a tower for you with the villagers!"
"By the way, Uncle Jiaxuan, tell the villagers, don't tell the outside world if you have food. Our village has enough food. But if outsiders come, it won't be enough." Xiang Nan instructed.
"Don't worry, I understand." Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
…
As the food is distributed, the villagers can survive.
Half a catty for adults, and three taels for children. Although they can't eat enough, they can finally last.
Therefore, the people of Bailu Village are grateful to Xiang Nan, and they are like Buddhas born to thousands of families.
It's just that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon the food in Bailu Village was known to the victims of the wilderness.
After receiving the news, they helped the old and the young and came to Bailu Village together, hoping to get some food.
But in times of famine, a bite of food is good.
Hungry people will even pick up animal feces and sift out incompletely digested plant seeds to eat, so no one gives them.
So those victims knelt at the gate of the ancestral hall of Bailu Village, hoping that the villagers would show mercy. Some victims broke into villagers' homes and robbed them, eating whatever they caught.
There are even crowds of disaster victims, fighting with open flames, trying to break into the ancestral temple to grab food.
It's just that Xiang Nan had set up a maze outside the temple, so after they broke in, they immediately lost their way. They couldn't tell east, west, north, south, and couldn't find where the entrance of the temple was. They could only wander around like ghosts hitting a wall. generally.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan knew that they were just hungry victims. In fact, they were not evil in nature, so they didn't set up traps or traps in the labyrinth. Otherwise, even thousands of troops would die in it.
But they are trapped here, and sooner or later they will starve to death.
So Xiang Nan showed mercy at night and threw them all out.
…
After the victims went to the plains, Xiang Nan stopped the food distribution.
Otherwise, no matter how much food he has in hand, it will not be enough for the victims.
The victims waited for three days unwillingly, but seeing that there was still no food distribution, they couldn't hold on, so they had to choose to retreat.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan resumed food distribution.
And Bai Jiaxuan also took the villagers who leaked the news to the ancestral hall and dealt them a severe meal.
In such a catastrophic year, the villagers of Bailu Village still had food for sale, which naturally attracted the attention of the victims, and then they knew about the food distribution in Bailu Village.
When Xiang Nan heard about this, he couldn't help sighing, he didn't know whether to scold them or pity them.
"Hei Wa, don't be angry, I have already taught them a lesson. If they dare to sell the saved grain again, the village will no longer distribute grain to them." Bai Jiaxuan said to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Uncle Jiaxuan, don't blame them too much for this matter. The villagers are also poor and crazy, so they are forced to do this."
Over the past year, many families have gone bankrupt in order to fill their stomachs. As long as there are other livelihoods, who is willing to lose their stomachs and exchange life-saving food for money?
"Hei Wa, you are benevolent." Bai Jiaxuan cupped his hands.
…
Just as Xiang Nan opened a storehouse for disaster relief, bad news came from Zishui County, and Lu Zhaopeng was arrested.
After hearing the news, Lu Zilin was very worried, and rushed to the county seat immediately, hoping to persuade his son to write a letter of repentance and surrender to the Kuomintang.
In this way, you can still survive.
However, Lu Zhaopeng is not such a person who is so easily succumbed. Despite the threat of death, he did not choose to bow his head. Instead, he was still concerned about the famine and whether the villagers were hungry.
When he heard that Xiang Nan distributed food every day and that no one in Bailu Village starved to death, he was relieved, "Heiwa is really amazing. He made preparations early and saved the lives of the entire village."
"Son, let's not talk about him right now, let's talk about you." Lu Zilin saw that he was already in the field and was still concerned about other people's livelihood, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Why are you saving your life? "
But Lu Zhaopeng knew that this time he might be in danger.
With Yue Weishan as a person, if he doesn't surrender, he will never let him go. And after last year's upheaval, their side has been hit extremely hard, and they don't have enough strength to rescue him, so he probably won't be able to get out this time.
For this reason, Lu Zhaopeng sincerely apologized to his father. He only cared about doing things in his life and did not fulfill his filial piety to his knees. If you still have a chance in your next life, stay at home and be a good son.
Seeing what he said, Lu Zilin cried even more sadly.
"Why did I raise such a son as you, and I still laughed at Lao Bai's family, why are you not as good as Xiaowen?" He couldn't help but said, "Son, write down your repentance, what kind of party do you have with you?" It's a clean break. Da takes you back to the original place, whether you are a prodigal or you smoke, Da sells the house and land to support you, okay, son?"
…
After hearing the news of Lu Zhaopeng's arrest, Xiang Nan went to Zishui County Prison that night.
For him, a heavily guarded prison is no different from his own home, he can come and go as he pleases.
Those guards are not even as clever as a dog.
He came to the cell in a big way, and the guards acted as if they hadn't seen him. In fact, they didn't see him.
Because Xiang Nan's speed was too fast, when he ran past them, they thought it was just a gust of wind.
Xiang Nan went all the way to the deepest part of the prison. Repeat offenders like Lu Zhaopeng were kept in solitary confinement to prevent accidents, and this happened to give Xiang Nan a chance.
Otherwise, in front of hundreds of prisoners, it would be difficult for him to save Lu Zhaopeng, and he would always be seen.
When he got to the prison cell, he saw Lu Zhaopeng lying there dying with bruises all over his body.
Xiang Nan immediately performed bone shrinking skills, got into the cell, and gently awakened Lu Zhaopeng, "Zhaopeng, Zhaopeng~"
"Hei Wa?!" Lu Zhaopeng was amazed, he didn't expect Xiang Nan to enter the cell.
