There is a river next to Aoki Village, the river is called Lingxi River, the river water is clear, all year round, there are countless river shrimp and carp in it, even if the river does not stop during such a great drought, if it is not for this river around the surrounding villages, there will be more people who die, most of the villagers drink the water in this river, this Lingxi River is the real mother river of the people of Northern Xinjiang.

Xu Hao hit the idea on this Lingxi River, God has not rained for a long time, the main reason why the villagers are hungry is that there is no food at home, and the reason for no food is because of the drought in the field, if the water of the Lingxi River can be channeled to the field in the village, the problem of crop drought will be solved, although it is now past the time to plant crops, but there is a plant that can still be planted, that is, black beans, Xu Hao has more than 20 bags of black beans at home, if these are planted in the ground, it will definitely grow enough black beans for everyone to eat, but the Lingxi River is the lifeblood of everyone in the northern Xinjiang, Xu Hao is not sure that the people of Aoki Village can agree to him doing this, but he is doing it completely for the people of Aoki Village, and Xu Hao has no land at home.

Just do it, Xu Hao summoned everyone in Aoki Village, because Xu Hao often provides disaster relief in the village, and his prestige in the village is particularly high, Xu Hao stood on a step on the top of his tavern and said: "Folks, this time I gathered everyone not to distribute steamed buns to everyone, mainly for one other thing, if this thing is done, it can save the whole village, if it is not done well, our village is likely to experience a new disaster." ”

"Brother Xu Hao, just say it, after you came to the village, we all saw what the people in our village did, so many people in the whole village have all received the favor of your family, no matter what others say, anyway, I will definitely listen to you, I will do whatever you say. Li Orion stood at the bottom of the steps and said loudly.

"Yes, yes, Xu Hao, if you have anything, just say it, we will all listen to you. All the villagers under the steps shouted, Xu's father and mother looked at Xu Hao on the steps and couldn't help nodding secretly, I didn't expect Xu Hao to be so unpopular in Huangmu Village, but he was very popular in this Qingmu Village.

"Okay, since everyone believes me, then I will say, you all know that this famine is because of the locust plague and the great drought so that everyone's crops have not been harvested, this time I have come up with a solution, first, we dig out all the things that have rotted in the field, and feed the livestock if they can be used, second, we will replant crops in the ground, and third, dig the Lingxi River and use the river water to irrigate the crops. ”

As Xu Hao finished saying these words, everyone in the audience was silent, even Li Orion, who had always been enthusiastic about Xu Hao, was silent, and after a while, someone in the crowd said: "The season for planting crops has passed, how can you plant it?"

Xu Hao looked at the audience with a smile and said: "I know that everyone has a lot of questions in their hearts, if you have any problems now, please say them and discuss them together." ”

Li Orion smiled wryly and said: "Brother Xu Hao, it's not that my brother doesn't support you, it's just that what you said is unrealistic, first, the time to plant crops has passed, how can we plant them?

The Lingxi River can't be chiseled, the Lingxi River is our mother river, if it weren't for the fish and shrimp in the river, our big guys would have starved to death. Everyone didn't say anything, just nodded their heads, and it was obvious that Li Orion had spoken to their hearts.

"Well, I've thought about these problems for everyone, I know that the time to plant crops has long passed, but this doesn't mean that you can't farm, black beans are drought-tolerant, tenacious vitality, and only need three months to grow, we can all rely on the fish and shrimp in the Lingxi River for a while, but winter is coming, in winter, Lingxi River is on the line, what do we eat? So everyone should hurry up and consider planting some food to eat, I know that black beans are usually eaten by livestock, but we can't care so much now, as long as we can survive, it's a good thing, you don't have to worry about the seeds of black beans, I still have more than 20 bags of black beans at home, everyone can rest assured to plant, and the most important point is about digging the Lingxi River, the Lingxi River is our common mother, and now that her sons are dying, can the mother still bear to stand by and watch?" Xu Hao stood on the steps and said affectionately.

Everyone in the audience looked at me, I looked at yours, and after a while, Li Orion opened his head, and he said: "It's nothing for us all to eat black beans, this thing is hungry, but digging the Lingxi River is too time-consuming and laborious, and you gave us all the black beans at home, what do you eat as a family?"

"Brother Li, what you said is to the point, first of all, these black beans are not given to you for nothing, you borrow a bucket of black bean seeds and wait for a bumper harvest, you have to return me two or three buckets, as for the digging of the Lingxi River, it depends on all of us to work together, if you agree, you can come to me now to receive black bean seeds." ”

"Okay, since you said so, then there must be no problem, when the harvest comes, not to mention three buckets, even ten buckets I can give, after all, black beans are very good to feed, first borrow me five buckets, my land is not small." It was Li Orion who was the first to step forward and said.

Everyone in Aoki Village thought of the problem of having no food for the winter, and at this time they all gritted their teeth and went to Xu Hao to borrow black beans, a total of more than 20 bags, isn't it just to borrow one bucket to repay two buckets, borrow two buckets to return four buckets, don't think that there are a lot of these things, one bucket of black beans can almost grow more than 100 catties of black beans, then I don't know how many buckets.

After everyone borrowed the black bean seeds, they began to dig the Lingxi River, there was a short distance from the field to the Lingxi River, the old and young masters of the whole village went into battle together, and Aoki Village began to dig the canal in a hurry, after the sleepless efforts of the whole village, the canal was finally dug after half a month, watching the river slowly flow into the ground Xu Hao couldn't help but smile, this is the result he wanted, if he can really use these to save the people of Aoki Village, Xu Hao himself can be regarded as doing a great thing.

Everyone is struggling to survive these three months, three months is not long or short, everyone is quietly waiting for the passage of time, although the black beans are resistant to growth, but no one knows if it can really grow.

In the anxious waiting of everyone, three months have finally passed, there are already people in the village who can't wait to dig and dig in the ground, the result is very satisfying, the black beans grow very well, a knot is a big string, the people in the village are crazy, everyone is sleepless and began to dig their own land, many people are regretful beating their chests

, They originally thought that this would not work at all, so they only borrowed a little black bean seed from Xu Hao, and some people didn't even win, but now it's okay, other people's families have a bumper harvest, I really regret not being at the beginning.

The happiest person is Xu Hao, this time, those villagers automatically sent him the black beans that should be given, adding up to more than 3,000 catties, and now every household has food, even those who don't grow black beans have borrowed food, and everyone finally doesn't have to worry about a little bit of food.

Xu Hao summoned those refugees outside the village again, and now there are more than 2,000 refugees, he took out all his black beans, each of them sent a bucket of black beans, and taught them how to dig the Lingxi River, how to plant black beans, the rules are still the same, borrow one bucket and return two buckets, these people's names Xu Hao did not remember, and it does not completely depend on character, if you pay it back, if you don't pay it back, forget it, Xu Hao doesn't care about these black beans.

All the refugees are grateful to Xu Hao, although these are just ordinary black beans, but now it is fate, they took the black bean seeds and went back to their village, many of those refugees did not know Xu Hao's name, they only knew that Xu Hao gave them black beans, so in the mouths of those refugees, Xu Hao became a merciful black bean immortal, and many people also secretly made up their minds to set up an immortal tablet for Xu Hao, and worship it every day.

But these are all later words, in short, Xu Hao solved the problems of the refugees around him, Xu Hao's heart was full of a sense of achievement, and the eyes of the people in the village looked at him changed, as long as Xu Hao walked on the road, the people of Aoki Village would pull Xu Hao to eat.

Time flies, the second year at the beginning of spring when the sky finally rained, everyone cheered, this hundred years of famine finally passed, this year's crops are particularly good, God seems to make up for last year's deficit at once, and this year the village chief of Aoki Village finally died, he died laughing, he went to the field to see the crops that grew so good at that time let out a burst of laughter, laughed and died.

The people in the village respect the village chief very much, so they buried him on the back mountain, where they can overlook the entire Aoki Village, Xu Hao also went on the day of the funeral, he still remembered that when he and Liu Zhixuan came to buy the yard from the village chief, the village chief was still very greedy at that time, but Xu Hao did not expect this famine, the village chief was able to sell his property to help the entire Aoki Village, in the years of last year, there was no one in Aoki Village who starved to death, although a large part of the reason was because of Xu Hao, but the village chief also made a lot of efforts。

As soon as the village chief died, the people in the village naturally recommended Xu Hao to be the village head, Xu Hao couldn't refuse and agreed, the village chief was not busy, just listened to the east family, the west family was short, Xu Ji blacksmith shop also opened, Wang Sichun's family also lived in Aoki Village, he and Li Carpenter became competitors, both of them are carpenters, and the technology is similar, Xu Ji blacksmith shop and Xu Ji tavern also opened, or Liu Zhixuan and Li Carpenter's daughter-in-law are running, Xu's mother is coaxing the child for Liu Zhixuan, she has already accepted Liu Zhixuan, and now the relationship between the two is still very good, Xu Hao and Xu's father can receive orders every day, those refugees also came to return Xu Hao's black beans one after another, and the number added up to a lot, anyway, everything is developing in a good direction.
