"Hei Wa, please tell me how much food you have?" Bai Jiaxuan heard what Xiang Nan said, but he didn''t agree immediately, but asked first.
"Four thousand five hundred stones." Xiang Nan gave Bai Jiaxuan the money. "It''s enough to eat."
After hearing this, Bai Jiaxuan was shocked, and then he cupped his hands, "Hei Wa, on behalf of the villagers, I thank you."
??The price of food is so expensive now that one stone of food costs one hundred oceans. Forty-five hundred dan, that''s 450,000 yuan. If all the people in Bailu Village were packed up and sold, it wouldn''t be worth the money.
But Xiang Nan has put out so much food, he is simply a living **** who saves the poor 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 hand.
??Bai Jiaxuan nodded, "After this famine is over, I will lead the villagers to build a tower for you!"
"By the way, Uncle Jiaxuan, tell the villagers, don''t tell anyone if you have something to eat. Our villagers can still eat enough of this food. But if outsiders come again, 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 are not full, they can still survive.
Therefore, the people of Bailu Village were so grateful to Xiang Nan that every family was blessed with Buddha.
??It''s just that there is no airtight wall in the world, and soon the fact that there was food in Bailu Village was known to the victims from all over the wilderness.
After receiving the news, they brought the old and the young together to Bailu Village, hoping to get some food.
But during times of famine, every morsel of food is good.
?Hungry people will even pick up animal excrement and sift through the incompletely digested plant seeds to eat, so no one will give them to them.
?So the victims knelt at the gate of the Bailu Village ancestral hall, hoping that the villagers would show mercy. Some victims broke into villagers'' homes and robbed them, eating whatever they caught.
?There were even groups of victims, holding open fires, trying to break into the ancestral temple to seize food.
It''s just that Xiang Nan had already set up a maze outside the temple, so after they broke in, they immediately got lost. They couldn''t distinguish east, west, north, south, and couldn''t find where the temple entrance was. They could only wander around, like a ghost beating a wall. generally.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan knew that they were just hungry victims and were actually not evil in nature, so he did not set up traps or traps in the maze. Otherwise, even thousands of troops would have died in it.
?But if they are trapped here, they will starve to death sooner or later.
?So Xiang Nan still showed mercy and threw them all out at night.
…
After the victims came to the plains, Xiang Nan stopped distributing grain.
Otherwise, no matter how much food he has in hand, it will not be enough for the victims.
?The victims waited unwillingly for three days, but when they saw no food distribution, they couldn''t hold on any longer and had no choice but to retreat.
After that, Xiang Nan resumed grain distribution.
??And Bai Jiaxuan also took the villagers who leaked the news to the ancestral hall and punished them severely.
It turns out that after receiving the grain, several families were reluctant to eat it all themselves and took the saved grain to sell on the market. A kilogram of grain is sold for an ocean to make money.
?In such a disaster year, the villagers of Bailu Village actually still had food for sale. Naturally, it quickly attracted the attention of the victims, and soon they learned about the food distribution in Bailu Village. After Xiang Nan heard about this, he couldn''t help but sigh. He didn''t know whether he should 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 food again, the village will no longer distribute food to them in the future." Bai Jiaxuan said to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Uncle Jiaxuan, don''t blame them too harshly for this matter. The villagers are also crazy about poverty, so they are forced to do this."
?This year, many families have gone bankrupt in order to fill their stomachs. As long as there are other livelihoods, who would be willing to lose their own money and exchange life-saving food for money.
“Hei Wa, you are so kind and righteous.” Bai Jiaxuan cupped his hands and said.
…
?Just when Xiang Nan was opening a warehouse to provide disaster relief, bad news came from Zishui County. Lu Zhaopeng was arrested.
After learning the news, Lu Zilin was 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, one can still survive.
However, Lu Zhaopeng was not someone who gave in so easily. Although he faced the threat of death, he did not choose to bow his head. Instead, he was concerned about the famine and whether the villagers were hungry.
??When he heard that Xiang Nan distributed food every day and no one in Bailu Village starved to death, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Hei Wa is really amazing. He made preparations early and saved the lives of all the people in the village."
"Son, let''s not talk about him now, let''s talk about you." Lu Zilin saw that he was already at this stage and still concerned about other people''s livelihood, so he couldn''t help but shook his head and said, "How are you trying to save your life? "
But Lu Zhaopeng knew that he might be in for a disaster this time.
With Yue Weishan''s personality, if he didn''t surrender, he would never let him go. After last year''s drastic changes, their side was severely hit and did not have enough power to rescue him, so he might not be able to get out this time.
?For this reason, Lu Zhaopeng sincerely apologized to his father. In his life, he only focused on doing things and did not fulfill his filial piety. If you still have a chance in your next life, stay at home and be a good son.
Lu Zilin cried even more sadly when he saw what he said.
"Why did I raise a son like you? I even laughed at the old Bai family. Why are you not as good as Xiaowen?" He couldn''t help but said, "Son, please write that repentance letter. What kind of party are you doing?" Cut it off with a clean cut. I’ll take you back to the original place. No matter if you’re a prodigal or a smoker, I’ll support you by selling my house and land, 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, where he can come and go at will.
?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 didn''t see him. In fact, they did not see him.
Because Xiang Nan was so fast that when he ran in front of them, they just thought it was a gust of wind.
Xiang Nan went all the way to the deepest part of the prison. Heavy criminals like Lu Zhaopeng were kept in solitary confinement to prevent accidents, which just gave Xiang Nan a chance.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to save Lu Zhaopeng in front of hundreds of prisoners, and he would always be seen.
When they arrived at the cell, they saw Lu Zhaopeng lying there with wounds all over his body and dying.
Xiang Nan then used the bone-shrinking technique, got into the cell, and gently woke up Lu Zhaopeng, "Zhaopeng, Zhaopeng~"
“Hei Wa?!” Lu Zhaopeng was surprised. He didn’t expect Xiang Nan to be able to enter the cell.
