After the summer harvest comes summer planting.

Because Xiang Nan donated five big horses to the clan, the villagers saved a lot of manpower in pulling manure, hauling water, plowing and raking the land, which made everyone very grateful to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan also reminded Bai Jiaxuan to teach the Yu tribe not to let a grain of food escape from the original land.

Because if we sell the grain now, we will not be able to buy back the grain we sold even if we spend ten times more money next year if there is a drought.

But after all, the villagers still have to pay public grain and taxes. If they can't sell the grain, they won't have the money to do these things.

Xiang Nan realized everyone's difficulties, so he specially opened a grain station in Yuanshang to purchase grain at a price that was 20% higher than the market price.

For a time, not only the villagers of Bailu Village, but also villagers and grain merchants from dozens of miles around all transported grain to Bailu Village and sold it to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan also purchased nearly 2,000 dan of grain and deposited it all in the ancestral temple.

He also ordered people to plant trees around the temple and pile up boulders and vines.

Such a strange practice also puzzled the villagers.

"What are you doing, little fairy? Summer is not the season for planting trees~"

"You always plant small trees when planting trees, but he planted trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl~"

"It's good to plant trees for shade, but what are those rocks for?"

The villagers discussed it one after another and felt it was incredible.

But Lu San, Zhang Ziqing, Tian Xiao'e and others could all see that Xiang Nan was setting up a formation around the temple.

There is such a patch of trees outside the Zhongnan Mountain Villa. It looks small, but entering inside is like a trance. If you are not familiar with the road, it will be very difficult to go in or out.

"Hei Wa, why are you doing this?" Lu San asked curiously, "If we surrounded the temple, wouldn't there be no one to burn incense?"

"Da, no one will come to burn incense next year." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

Starting from the spring of next year, there will be a severe drought for two consecutive years, with no rain falling, thousands of miles of bare land, dry rivers and dry wells, and no harvest. By then, it will be too late for the people to escape famine, and who will come here to burn incense.

By then, only hungry victims will come here.

And the food he saved was only enough for Bailu Village to eat, and he couldn't get any extra food.

The victims of the disaster cannot get food, so driven by hunger, they will directly loot it. In years of great disasters, it is not uncommon for large households to be deprived of food.

In the drama version of "White Deer Plain", Guo Juren was the victim of the disaster. He relied on his martial arts skills to resist the victims, but was beaten to death by the victims.

People who are hungry and anxious are just like wild beasts and will not have any sense, so Xiang Nan has to be on guard. Otherwise, his grain depot will not be a life-saving magic weapon, but a poison for suicide.

…

While Xiang Nan was preparing the grain depot, Lu Zilin's plan to harm Bai Xiaowen was also in progress.

He inquired and learned that Bai Xiaowen was greedy for sex. After marrying his wife, he once demanded so much that his face turned pale.

Bai Zhao was forced to guard his door at night. Whenever he heard any movement in the house, he started knocking on the window to remind Bai Xiaowen to take care of himself.

So Lu Zilin took the right medicine and found a young widow to hook up with Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen had been married for several years and had long since grown tired of his yellow-faced woman. Once he was seduced by that handsome little widow, he felt as if he had lost his soul.

However, he knew that Bai Jiaxuan's rules were very strict and did not allow his family or clan members to do anything wrong.

In order to correct the unhealthy tendencies in the past, many whips and boards were broken, and Bai Shitou'er, Bai Xing'er and others were even fed rice fields.

Under such severe punishment, he did not dare to do anything wrong, lest he be beaten in public, which would be painful and embarrassing, so he persisted.

However, the little widow was instructed by Lu Zilin, but she refused to let him go easily. She would hang out in front of him from time to time, stroking her hair, rolling up her sleeves, and adjusting her clothes, which made him excited, and she was suffering every day. middle.

Finally, after the autumn harvest, Bailu Village had another bumper harvest, so a troupe was specially invited to sing.

When the villagers were crowding in front of the stage to sing an opera, the little widow grabbed Bai Xiaowen and threatened him not to speak out, otherwise she would say that he was acting like a hooligan in the dark, and then took him to the woods outside the village.

Bai Xiaowen was excited and nervous, excited and scared. Finally, under the initiative of the little widow, he completed his first derailment.

…

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the autumn harvest, Xiang Nan continued to purchase grain and continue to store it.

He had already saved two thousand shi of food, but it was still not enough to eat, so he wanted to save more.

And during this period, the affairs between Bai Xiaowen and the little widow were gradually spread.

It turned out that after having the first time, Bai Xiaowen fell in love with this feeling of breaking the taboo, so he ran to the little widow's house every now and then.

And as time goes by, there is no wall that is airtight.

What's more, Lu Zilin set him up to do this. Even if others didn't see it, Lu Zilin would deliberately publicize it.

Sure enough, one night, after Bai Xiaowen finished eating, he went to help make peace with the old man on the pretext of housework at Liu Liu's house. As a result, he went out and sneaked into the little widow's house.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jiaxuan blocked the little widow's bed.

Seeing that the good son he had worked hard to teach, had high hopes for, and was planning to let him take over as the patriarch of the clan in the future, was now so self-willed and degenerate, Bai Jiaxuan fell to the ground without even taking a breath.

Thanks to the lame man who was on patrol at night, he found out in time and called someone to carry him home. Otherwise, Bai Jiaxuan would have been furious to death on the spot.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm very angry." After Xiang Nan was invited, he took a look at Bai Jiaxuan's condition, and then said to Wu Xiancao and Bai Zhao.

"Then help him quickly." Wu Xiancao said quickly.

"Hei Wa, please save your Uncle Jiaxuan." Mrs. Bai Zhao also said, "Grandma is all counting on you."

"Don't worry." Xiang Nan said and applied acupuncture to Bai Jiaxuan to draw out the blood. After a moment, Bai Jiaxuan spit out the blood, and his whole body became calmer.

Xiang Nan then prescribed a prescription for replenishing qi and blood and gave it to Wu Xiancao, and asked her to take the medicine and give it to Bai Jiaxuan.

"Uncle Jiaxuan, you have to be open-minded about everything you encounter." Xiang Nan then said to Bai Jiaxuan who woke up, "Everything can happen to you in this life.

But don’t be afraid when things happen. When you encounter obstacles, just get over them. When you encounter pitfalls, just get over them. When you are tired, just rest. There is no need to force yourself. There is nothing you can’t overcome.”

When I was a child, I felt like the sky was falling when I failed in an exam. But in fact, after the passage of time, such small things are simply not worth mentioning.

The same goes for many things in life. At the time, it seemed like the sky was falling and the earth was falling, but after the incident passed, I realized that it was nothing at all.

So the most important thing is to open your mind and be open-minded about everything. There is no Flame Mountain that you can't get through.

Bai Jiaxuan opened his eyes. Although he was awake, he didn't say a word.
