Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Although after the Revolution of 1911, the Qing Dynasty changed to the Republic of China, and the emperor changed to the president, the villagers in Bailuyuan still lived the same life as before without any change.

But Xiang Nan's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First, he stopped sleeping with Lu San. Because Lu San doesn’t sleep well, farts, grinds his teeth and snores. Moreover, after losing my wife, I left the quilt unopened and unwashed for several years. The smell was so fishy and unpleasant that one whiff "refreshes the mind", two sniffs "strengthens the stomach and opens the mind", and three sniffs "makes you soar in the day"...

Therefore, Xiang Nan slept in the courtyard by himself every day. He has learned Qinggong from the Ancient Tomb Sect, and can use a rope as a bed. Moreover, he has achieved good internal strength, and even if he is hit by the cold wind, he is not afraid of catching a cold.

So instead of covering himself with a smelly quilt in the house and grinding his teeth while listening to Lu San burping and farting, he would rather lie on the rope in the yard and fall asleep breathing the cool northwest wind.

Second, in addition to having a party in the Bai family, he also secretly started a party in the wild.

In fact, there are many wild animals in Bailuyuan, such as foxes, hares, wild boars, badgers, pheasants, quails and so on. However, there are no decent hunters in Bailuyuan.

Therefore, although there are many game foods, not everyone can enjoy them, which just makes Xiang Nan cheaper. He is good at martial arts, light kung fu, and hidden weapon skills. As long as those game animals are seen by him, they will basically die.

Xiang Nan is just ten years old now, which is when he needs to grow up. Although the Bai family takes long-term workers seriously and can eat three meals a day, they really don't have much money.

Wotou, corn porridge, and sorghum rice are eaten all day long. When the farming is busy, steamed buns and fried noodles are available. Not to mention stewed meat and fish, there are not even stir-fried dishes, only salty pickles. That's why Xiang Nan thought about improving his own food.

However, Xiang Nan knew that this was not common.

First, I walk a lot at night, and I always encounter ghosts. It's freezing cold now, and no one comes out in the fields. But in a while, after the freeze thaws, everyone will have to work in the fields.

By then, there would be people everywhere, and it would be difficult for him to start his own gang and hide and eat alone.

Secondly, just eating a few game meats will not solve the fundamental problem. His biggest problem now is not the lack of a bite of meat, but the lack of money.

If you don't have money, you have to do long-term work and do the work for other people's wealthy owners. With money, you can have your own house, your own land, your own business, eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, and no longer have to be so sneaky.

And, most importantly, only if you have money can you marry Tian Xiao'e.

After all, Tian Xiao'e's father, Tian Xiucai, was so greedy for money that he sold his daughter in order to earn Guo Juren's gift. Therefore, if he had no money, he would not be able to marry Tian Xiao'e.

…

"Where can I get money?" Xiang Nan wondered.

Although he has a lot of skills, it is difficult for him to make money.

He is still young when he is doing the right thing. Even if he was the best cook in the world and went to Xi'an to work as a cook, no restaurant would dare to hire him;

Even if he could read and write, and could do calculations, no shop would dare to hire him; even if he had amazing eyesight and could distinguish between true and false, no pawn shop would hire him...

What's more, nowadays, even going to a store to work as a waiter is not that easy. You need to be introduced by an acquaintance and have a guarantee.

Even if Lu San asks Bai Jiaxuan to come forward, he can't help. After all, Bai Jiaxuan has some influence in Bailuyuan, and he can't control anyone outside this village.

As for using sideways, stealing, robbing, and plundering, of course he has no problem, and he is guaranteed to make a lot of money very quickly.

But the money gained in this way is destined to be hidden from others. After all, if someone loses money, there will be a lot of noise all over the world. And this kind of news spreads very quickly, and people all over the country know about it.

When the time came, Xiang Nan took out the money again, and the accounts just matched, and the scandal was immediately exposed. He became the target of thousands of people and was despised by thousands of people.

Xiang Nan doesn't want this, he is still a shameless person. Even if he did something bad, he didn't want others to know about it. So we have to think of other ways.

…

While Xiang Nan was thinking about making money, Bai Jiaxuan got up early to wander around the fields and saw an unexpected wetland in the snowy ground.

The surrounding area is still covered with white snow, only here stands out the loess. What's more important is that there is a green sprout emerging from the soil.

In the middle of winter, when everything is depressed, there is such a green grass growing here, which makes Bai Jiaxuan feel very strange.

He hurriedly walked over and saw that the exposed brown earth was wet, and there seemed to be wisps of steam steaming.

When the wet soil was peeled away, a miracle suddenly appeared. A pink-white mushroom-like leaf was exposed from the soil layer.

He dug more carefully into the soil, revealing leaves of the same color. Digging deeper, a tender and pink-white stalk was revealed. Until it was completely dug out, the stalk was adorned with five leaves of different sizes.

Bai Jiaxuan wanted to uproot it, but then he thought, maybe this is some kind of precious grass. What if it dies when it is picked up?

He carefully filled back the wet soil, kicked and scraped the surrounding snow to disguise the scene, and then squatted down and squeezed out a puddle of shit with his buttocks. No one would suspect that the place was messy.

He then went to find his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu, to ask what kind of grass it was. Why can such a small grass grow in this snowy winter?

Is it a fairy grass or a poisonous weed? Does it herald next year's harvest or next year's decline?

After listening to his description, Mr. Zhu looked at the grass he drew and said, "Brother, what you see is a white deer~"

…

A few days later, as the New Year approached, many victims suddenly passed by in Bailuyuan.

Supporting the old and carrying the young, we were forced to move around in the wind and snow, weeping and trapped, hungry and cold. Xiang Nan couldn't help but feel sour when he saw this scene.

Later, after inquiring, I learned that the Qing soldiers were back again.

Fang Sheng, the former governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, led 200,000 Qing troops to attack the city of Xi'an, hoping to restore the Qing government and gain another foothold for the Qing royal family.

The people were afraid of encountering the disaster of war, so before the war started, they supported the old and the young and fled with their families.

After hearing the news, Xiang Nan's eyes lit up and he knew his chance had come.

The Qing troops came back to attack the city of Xi'an. When news of the massacre of the revolutionary party spread to Yuan Shang, the first one who couldn't wait was Lu Zilin.

Because he was the first person in Bailuyuan to cut his braids. Although not of his own free will. But at that time, cutting braids was the most distinctive symbol of the revolutionary party.

Therefore, he was very scared, afraid of being caught by the Qing soldiers and having his head snapped. So he hid and didn't dare to see anyone, for fear of being caught.

Compared with Lu Zilin's timidity, Mr. Zhu from White Deer Academy was determined to die and went to the Qing army camp to find Fang Sheng, hoping to persuade him to withdraw.
