Four days have passed since Fumanlou was assassinated, Huang Jiaojiao was picked up by the people of Annan Huangfu, and Bai Xiaoxian also returned to Ping'an Village to continue his great business of hybrid rice.

It was as if it were a taboo, and there were no rumors for days, and there was no talk of it among the people who were usually the most talked.

Everything was as if nothing had happened, except that there was a little fear in their eyes, and other than that, it was calm.

Bai Xiaoxian led the tenant Chen Ergou in the field for a while, and finally got up and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm.

"Uncle Chen, you see, just do what I do."

Chen Ergou looked stupid, after all, the young master actually went to the field to demonstrate, and the technique seemed to be quite skilled, not like he had only done it a few times.

"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of these seedlings."

Bai Xiaoxian snorted, and then said: "These fields lack living water, that is, flowing water, and there are rivers nearby?" ”

Chen Ergou was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Bai Xiaoxian suddenly said this, so he pointed to the other side of the field and said: "There is a river a mile away, some far, in previous years, during the drought, every family went there to draught. ”

"Take me to see it."

Bai Xiaoxian asked Chen Ergou to lead the road, saying that it was a road, but it was just a small forest jing, and if you walked more, it would be a road.

The two walked towards the small river one after the other, during which Bai Xiaoxian also popularized a lot of modern agricultural knowledge to Chen Ergou, which made Chen Ergou admire it even more.

"The young master deserves to be a young master, he knows everything!"

Chen Ergou said silently in his heart.

Because as a person who has been in the field all his life, he can probably tell whether what Bai Xiaoxian said makes sense just by listening, although most of them have never heard it, but if you think about it, it is not unreasonable.

In just half an hour, the two walked to the river, and Bai Xiaoxian observed for a while, during which he kept looking towards Ping'an Village.

The river was ten meters wide, and Bai Xiaoxian casually threw a leaf to observe the flow of water.

The water flow is quite large, and it is no wonder that you can come here to drink water during the drought, this river has more than one source, and the water is clear, it is a good water source.

Bai Xiaoxian squatted and turned his head to look at Chen Ergou, "Uncle Chen, is there any other use for this path besides coming to this river to get water?" ”

Chen Ergou thought for a while before he spoke: "No, because sometimes I won't come for a few years, so there are so many weeds on that path." ”

Bai Xiaoxian thought for a while, and finally asked, "How many people in the village are poor who can't eat or are particularly poor?" ”

Chen Ergou was stunned again, and then thought for a while and said, "About twenty households, about fifty people." ”

"Tomorrow let them come over to weed and repair the road, and by the way, open another canal to the fields, ten cents per person a day, and take care of two meals."

Bai Xiaoxian walked back with his hands behind his back, "You go to Wei Changhe, just look for him for wages or something, and then you can find two reliable carpenters or stonemasons, as long as you can read and write." ”

"This kind of thirty wen per person per day, three meals, if you find it, you can take it directly to Wei Changhe, and then let him come to me."

After the arrangement, Bai Xiaoxian returned to the village and let Ergou carry the carriage back to Baifu.

"There are some things that have to be done in advance."

Bai Xiaoxian lay on the carriage, muttered to himself for a while, and then closed his eyes and rested.

It didn't take long for Bai Xiaoxian to return to Baifu.

Although there are many people in Baifu, the real Bai family is actually Bai Xiaoxian and Bai Chengwen, Bai Xiaoxian only remembers that Bai Chengwen has taken one person, which is his biological mother Luo Zhixuan.

And his biological mother seems to have died of illness when he was about six years old, and there has been no master mother and concubine in Baifu since then.

Bai Chengwen often sat alone in the study in a daze, and Bai Xiaoxian naturally didn't ask.

And today, Bai Xiaoxian had just returned to Baifu and had not walked a few steps when Wei Changhe stopped Bai Xiaoxian.

Wei Changhe leaned over and said respectfully: "Young master, when the master asks you to come back, go to the study first, he has something to look for you." ”

"Looking for me?"

Bai Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards the study with Ergou.

"Ergou, you stay outside the door and wait for me."

After speaking, Bai Xiaoxian stepped into the room.

As soon as I entered, I saw Bai Chengwen talking and laughing with a middle-aged man in a green shirt, and it seemed that the two had an excellent relationship, like a close friend for many years.

"Son, this is Luo Daru, who came to you on purpose." Bai Chengwen saw Bai Xiaoxian come in, and introduced with a smile.

"The junior Bai Xiaoxian has seen Mr. Luo." Bai Xiaoxian respectfully made a junior salute, and at the same time frantically searched for information about Luo Daru in his memory.

But after thinking about it for a while, I didn't expect it, but I only remember that when I was at the gate of Fuman Building a few days ago, Huang Jiaojiao said a word, Luo Daru was waiting for him inside.

Luo Daru even said a few good words, stroked his handful of beard and said with a smile: "Bai Xiaoxian, if it weren't for that day, you and I would have met a long time ago." ”

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Luo is looking for?" ”

Luo Daru stroked his beard and looked at Bai Xiaoxian, "Some time ago, I happened to receive a letter, there was a poem in the letter, I heard that you wrote it, so I want to come and see more." ”

"The poems I wrote?"

Bai Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, when did he write a poem, could it be the one he gave to Huang Jiaojiao that day?

"Could it be ......?"

Luo Daru smiled and said: "The beauty rolls the bead curtain, sits deep and frowns......"

Bai Xiaoxian hurriedly interrupted, isn't this a social death in front of his father?

Let's talk about my previous amorous nature, when can I write such a meaningful article.

Bai Chengwen looked at Bai Xiaoxian with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Mr. Luo, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first, I have a lot of things." Bai Xiaoxian hurriedly spoke.

After speaking, before Luo Daru could speak, Bai Xiaoxian went out of the room and took Ergou to the backyard.

Bai Chengwen smiled and arched his hand, "It made Luo Daru smile, the dog is free and easy, sorry." ”

Luo Daru's face calmed down, and he asked rhetorically: "It's okay, I don't know what the Bai family master is thinking about?" ”

Bai Chengwen shook his head and sighed: "I still say the same thing, this situation is ...... The Bai family did not enter. ”

Luo Daru sneered, "Bai Xiaoxian is already a person in the game, it is impossible to quit, can you watch him die?" ”

"If your father was still alive thirty years ago, the Bai family might really not be able to enter the game, but now...... Either enter the game to help the third prince take the position of the East Palace, or disappear in the summer of this year! ”

Facing Luo Daru, who was full of threats, Bai Chengwen did not have the slightest timidity, and his face was still calm, "It's just that you haven't raised a knife for thirty years, and the white knife doesn't kill the rats, so you are not worthy." ”

Luo Daru slapped the tea table, and the tea table suddenly shattered and exploded, and then got up and said, "I hope you can still talk like this after more than a month!" ”

In the backyard, Bai Xiaoxian sat on a stone and looked a little confused.

It's been a while since I came to this world, how can I farm a field and not let myself live in peace, I have to force myself to a dead end.

Half an hour later, Bai Xiaoxian made a decision in his eyes, turned his head and said to Ergou: "Call Wei Changhe and my father over, and bring a big knife by the way." ”

Zhang Ergou gnawed on the chicken leg with a puzzled expression, "Young master, what are you doing with a knife?" ”

"Don't worry about the young master's business, just take it!"

Bai Xiaoxian arrogantly spoke, and then added, "Go quickly!" ”

"Oh yes."

Zhang Ergou walked out of the yard while gnawing on chicken legs, and it didn't take long for him to carry a knife and walk into the backyard with Bai Chengwen and Wei Changhe.

When they entered the backyard, they found that the subordinates here had already been arranged by Bai Xiaoxian to go elsewhere, and there were only four of them left here at this moment.

Bai Chengwen said with a smile: "Son, your father and I are in charge of everything, don't bother me if it's okay, you can play with the mud by yourself." ”

Bai Xiaoxian didn't speak, his face was gloomy and terrifying, perhaps because he had experienced several life and death crises, and the obsession in the depths of his spirit was revived.

That's ...... Stay alive!

Bai Xiaoxian took the knife brought by Zhang Ergou and looked at it carefully, and slashed at the rockery again, and the knife was firmly stuck in it.

Through the place where the knife meets the rockery, it is not difficult to see that the knife has several gaps.

"The knife is not good, the hardness is too poor, and the blade is too soft."

Bai Chengwen was stunned for a moment, "Son, what's wrong with you?" ”

Bai Xiaoxian pulled out the knife vigorously, looked at it carefully and said, "This iron is not good, go back to the furnace and fight again." ”

As he spoke, Bai Xiaoxian looked at Bai Chengwen.

"Dad, is our family a blacksmith?"

Bai Chengwen was stared at by Bai Xiaoxian, and suddenly felt a bad feeling welling up in his heart, "There are some, most of them are farming tools, what's wrong?" ”

"Are people reliable?"

Bai Chengwen suddenly patted his chest and said: "Why is it unreliable, and the farming tools are rattling, so good!" ”

"Then Uncle Wei, you go and help me call them all over, now!"

Wei Changhe was stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Xiaoxian a little blankly, and thought that the young master had changed too much, and this momentum could be compared with when the old master was young.

Bai Chengwen also said at this moment: "Old Wei, call me over according to my son's wishes." ”

"Wait."

Bai Xiaoxian stopped Wei Changhe when he turned around, "Let them bring their tools and iron ore together." ”

Wei Changhe nodded, and then left the backyard.

Bai Chengwen frowned slightly and said, "Son, what do you want to do, our family is not as big as a big family." Our family can't afford to squander, it's poor. ”

"I figured it out, I want to form an army dressed in the skin of a family, only with a knife in my hand, can I live a stable life, otherwise everyone will want to come and take a bite."

After Bai Xiaoxian finished speaking, he looked up at the sunset with his hands behind his back, which was quite incomprehensible.
