A sound of gunfire sounded like beans in the distance, and it sounded from the other side of the mountain.

On the plain, there are wheat ears wafting, shining with a golden luster.

The sun shone brightly, and the farmers on the fields heard the sound of gunfire, straightened their waists, looked up into the distance.

Everyone seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of gunfire, and they did not escape, nor were they panic.

There were even three or five tenants taking advantage of this gap to drink a bowl of tea and chatter about the gunshots not far away.

A dark man showed his yellow teeth and shouted to a man dressed slightly more elegantly beside him.

"Boss, you have a lot of knowledge. Do you think that where will you win this time?"

The man was impatient. After drinking the tea in his hand, he wiped a handful of hot sweat and scolded him angrily.

"No matter who wins, he will win a ball. He has never stopped hitting the ball in the past three days. It is not a good thing. The sun is at its peak. Why don't you work for me quickly? They are all slapping. What do you want to do?"

The dark tenants immediately wiped the sweat with the sweat towel on their shoulders, and quickly bent down and began to continue cutting wheat.

After cursing, Lu Zilin looked up at Wuzhishan not far away, snorted immediately, and lowered his head to continue harvesting.

Lu Zilin's face is dark now, and his figure is no longer as thin as before. He has a wide face and a black beard, a wide body and a fat body, just like an ordinary middle-aged farmer.

Bai Jiaxuan's pseudonym was Chen Zhen last time. The incident of fighting a hundred Western men in Shanghai was already a thing of the past!

Eighteen years have passed now, and this year is the autumn of 1932.

Eighteen years have been almost a generation.

Everything that happened before seemed to have not changed, but some things have long changed.

Bai Jiaxuan is like the original work, with two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Bai Xiaowen, the second son Bai Xiaowu, and the younger daughter Bai Ling.

The eldest son Bai Xiaowen is about to twenty years old this year, and Bai Xiaowu is also adult this year. Only Bai Ling has just turned sixteen this year!

In the original work, Bai Xiaowen is talented and intelligent, but his personality is hypocritical, shameless and sinister.

However, the second son Bai Xiaowu has a straightforward personality, but his talent is mediocre and has no opinion.

On the contrary, there is only Bai Ling, who has been smart and cute since childhood. When he grew up, he is quite independent and deeply loved by Bai Jiaxuan.

In this life, Bai Jiaxuan's discipline of children will naturally not be like the original work, so the children's personalities are somewhat different from the original work.

Bai Xiaowen has been talented since childhood. In the original work, Bai Jiaxuan was very strict in disciplined his eldest son, and almost treated the other party as a family inheritance. Unfortunately, in the original work, Bai Jiaxuan was just a farmer, had no knowledge, and could only educate him.

Under such education, his nature was almost castrated, resulting in Bai Xiaowen's ruthlessness and hypocrisy.

In this life, when Bai Xiaowen was ten years old, he was sent to Xi'an City by Bai Jiaxuan to study, and he was basically in a state of stocking.

In addition, in this life, with a free and easy father as a role model, the father and son have a relationship with both father and friend, and are not as depressed as the original work.

Bai Xiaowen, who grew up in this environment, has less gloomyness, but his personality has more sunshine, and his academic performance is also good. He is now a senior student at National Northwest University.

And as far as Bai Jiaxuan knows, that guy has become a progressive young man in a certain organization when he was a teenager!

The second brother Bai Xiaowu has a relatively straightforward personality, perhaps as he is, with the name of Wu in his name. He has been interested in playing with swords and guns since he was a child.

Bai Jiaxuan simply established a small armed organization in Bailuyuan Village under the name of establishing a village joint defense team.

The joint defense team has a small number of people, only about a dozen people, and only a few young people who are missing and lame.

These people are the first generation of people who have retired due to injuries in Wuzhishan. They carefully selected a group of clean backgrounds and were brought to Bai Luyuan by Bai Jiaxuan in other names.

Bai Xiaowu and Heizi, a group of children from the village who have not had good academic performance but have good physical fitness, have learned a lot of skills from childhood with these people to learn how to shoot knives and guns.

Because of the existence of Wuzhishan, the Bailu Plain has long changed things and people.

The White Deer Plain is still the same White Deer Plain. The number of people has grown from just over one thousand to more than two thousand now, which is considered to be broken. The curse that more than a thousand people will definitely suffer disasters in generations.

Most of the land on the White Deer Plain is still planted with crops such as wheat. The planting area of ​​the mysterious medicine powder has not increased much in recent years.

Each household can also harvest twenty or thirty oceans by planting one or two acres of land. With other crops, every household can barely live a full life.

Of course, Bai Jiaxuan did this intentionally.

The reason why the White Deer Plain has increased by thousands of people in less than twenty years is that the villagers on the White Deer Plain can have enough food!

For thousands of years in China, when all farmers can eat enough food, it is probably the 21st century, but it is not easy to have enough food in this era.

Bai Jiaxuan did not make the villagers of Bailuyuan rich, and relied on the monopoly of herbal prices to firmly control their wealth.

The most important reason why Bailu Plain has increased its population is that since almost twenty years ago, they no longer paid taxes to the county’s uncles.

Nowadays, each of the villagers on Bailu Plain only needs to pay a large ocean of captive tax to the bandits on Wuzhishan every year, and no other tax is required.

Since 19 years ago, after the failed clearance of Wuzhishan in Zishui County, Zishui County has completely lost its tax control over Bailuyuan.

Every year, each person only needs to pay a large amount of ocean's cap tax. Such a good environment cannot be found in the entire Republic of China!

Such a life is almost one of the few good days for the villagers of Bailuyuan!

But such a good day was depressed for Lu Zilin for several years.

The reason is very simple. As a senior official fan, Lu Zilin lost his place in the village because of the existence of Wuzhishan, and could only be his little landlord with peace of mind.

In addition, Bai Luyuan has been in good weather for many years, and the patriarch is still Bai Jiaxuan. He has almost no chance of usurping the throne and can only follow Bai Jiaxuan's butt and eat dust. This feeling of frustration makes Lu Zilin naturally depressed.

The only thing that made Lu Zilin happy was that he gave birth to two good sons, and both of them were more promising than his father!

The eldest son Lu Zhaopeng is also a college student and is extremely outstanding. After graduating from university, he was assigned to Bailu Town Junior Primary School as a principal.

The primary school principal of this era is a big shot for Lu Zilin's fans who have always wanted to be an official in their entire life!

The only pity is that he arranged a daughter-in-law for his son Lu Zhaopeng, but the two have been married for more than a year, and their relationship is still very cold now, which has become a knot in Lu Zilin's heart!

The youngest son Lu Zhaohai is now studying in Xi'an City. He is also a college student and is also very outstanding!

At least in Lu Zilin's mind, his two sons are better than the two sons of his mortal rival Bai Jiaxuan.

Let’s not talk about the eldest son, as for the younger son, Bai Jiaxuan’s youngest son Bai Xiaowu, knows how to dance with swords and guns all day long. Elementary school culture is incomparable to his younger son!

Of course, in addition to being frustrated and unable to become an official, Lu Zilin was actually quite satisfied with his current life.

Even if he has a small landlord with a vacancies of land, he can support two college students, and his family still has surplus every year. He never dared to think about such a life in the past!

Except for Bailuyuan, there are almost all other places now. Not to mention having enough food, there are countless people selling their children and daughters.

There is nothing we can do!

It has been more than twenty years since the beginning of the Republic of China, but this land has been fighting for twenty years!

Take the county uncles of Zishui County as an example. In the past twenty years, at least twenty people have been replaced. The longest county uncle has not been able to stay for a year. The first thing these county uncles do to collect taxes!

Every county uncle plunders once for the people’s wealth and wealth. No matter how wealthy a family is, it is not enough for them to collect it like this!

The population of Zishui County has not only not increased in the past twenty years, but has also dropped by 30%.

But even if it was only 70% of the population at that time, it still couldn't eat enough and could not afford to wear clothes. It was getting worse every year.

In other words, the Bailuyuan area has become a special paradise!

Because there is Wuzhishan here!

There is a group of bandits with extremely strong combat power on Wuzhi Mountain.

This group of bandits has not expanded for more than 20 years and has only been active in the Bailuyuan area.

In the past, the bandits on Wuzhi Mountain only protected Bailuyuan Village. Later, the five villages built along the mountain around Wuzhi Mountain all took the initiative to ask for the protection of Wuzhi Mountain. Now Wuzhi Mountain has protected the five nearby villages, about 6,000 people.

This group of bandits is extremely mysterious. Although they protect 6,000 villagers, they never enter the village at any time except after the autumn harvest.

Moreover, they never recruited people from nearby villages, nor did they see bandits going down the mountain to trade with villagers, as if all their living needs were self-sufficient.

After so many years, several county officials in Zishui County have wanted to wipe out this group of bandits. Once, a county old man with a deep background borrowed 600 troops and rushed to Wuzhishan with great momentum.

At that time, the gunshots and cannons were deafening, and they rang all night.

After a night, a brave villager went to investigate and found that there were corpses everywhere in the mountains. Before the villagers could approach, they were shocked by the gunshots of bandits from Wuzhishan.

After that battle, the bandits from Wuzhishan were still riding on the mountain stream path. As for the county old man, he ran away in shame before he had been in that position for three months!

It is conceivable who wins and who loses!

But the group of bandits in Wuzhishan are so powerful, but they have never expanded their territory over the years. Moreover, they are extremely abiding by the rules and gradually make local villagers accustomed to this group of bandits. Even the village protected by Wuzhishan is grateful that they are protected.

Many villages far away from Bailuyuan, after hearing about this, came with worshipers and prayed to the bandits from Wuzhishan to send troops to their village to collect protection fees, but the bandits from Wuzhishan were unmoved and had no intention of expansion at all.

In this way, the bandits in Wuzhishan also became a thorn in Zishui County. This thorn seems to be not very threatening, but it makes the previous county officials feel like they are stuck in their throats and have difficulty eating.

Several bandit suppressions ended in failure, and the current situation gradually formed.

Every time a new county uncle takes office, whether for the sake of face or really wants to suppress bandits, he has to send a team to the mountain to suppress bandits.

The bandits in Wuzhishan seem to be accustomed to this rhythm and use it as a practical exercise, and enjoy it.

Bai Jiaxuan now drinks tea every day, and goes around the fields for a walk to see how the crops grow.

Occasionally, I rode a horse on the White Deer Plain with Lu San and took Bailing, and went back and forth for a few laps.

On such days, it was not until Bai Ling went to Xi'an City to go to middle school that Bai Jiaxuan returned to the days of eating, sleeping, counting stars.

Eighteen years ago, after his Chen Zhen gave up on his vest, he has never been to Shanghai again.

The main thing is that it’s not interesting. Instead of pretending to be good at Shanghai Beach, it’s better to have some oil splashing noodles on the Bailu Plain!
