"Hmph, he'll need evidence first." It wasn't that Zhou Cang looked down on Zhou Fugui.

The leader of the gang recently took so much of the bandits' valuables; if she hadn't recently revealed it herself, many of the bandits would still be unaware of what happened.

With his selfish and brainless brother, it's no wonder there's no evidence.

It's just speculation at most, but when it comes to government offices, it's always out of the question without evidence. Of course, if you have enough money, you might be able to get things done.

But Zhou Fugui, what money could he possibly have? He was just a little better off than the other villagers.

Zhou Yan thought about it and agreed. His worries disappeared, and a wave of satisfaction washed over him: "That's good. Without food, let's see how long he can be so smug. It's one thing to bully you, Uncle, but he even incited the villagers to oppose the chief. He's really despicable."

"Uncle, when Zhou Fugui comes to work, you must not agree to it, lest people falsely accuse us of kidnapping him to be a two-legged sheep."

Zhou Cang glanced at him with amusement: "Your uncle is stingy, how could I possibly accept him?"

"Alright, take some men and find a place to lock up the cow. I'll go report back to the chief and, while I'm at it... thank her properly."

Upon receiving another thank-you card, Luo Xi said helplessly, "Don't be so polite, okay? Now that you're helping me, your business is my business, not to mention that Zhou Fugui isn't just targeting you this time."

"By the way, I've already put those grains in the warehouse you were put in charge of. They're all yours now, so you can decide what to do with them."

Zhou Cang was startled: "How can that be, Chief? You worked so hard to find all this grain, so it naturally belongs to you. How can you give it to me?"

Luo Xi had no patience to argue with him: "What you take from your house is yours. If you really don't want it, then throw it away."

How could he throw it away? Zhou Cang had no choice but to accept it reluctantly. However, he had already made up his mind to confiscate the grain directly, so he didn't mention it again and instead brought up the matter of today.

"Boss, the oxen have been bought back. There are plenty of people selling oxen lately, so they're easy to buy, but they're a bit thin."

“Being a little thinner is fine.” Rosie thought for a moment: “I remember there’s a lot of hay on the farm, isn’t there?”

"Hmm!" Zhou Cang was a little disappointed and nostalgic: "The Zhao family used to raise a lot of livestock. Although Yang Erlang took them all away, the fodder is still there."

“My subordinates used to love watching them feed the cattle and horses. Seeing them eat so happily always cheered me up.”

Loxi patted him on the shoulder: "What's the big deal? From now on, our livestock are yours to manage. You can watch them for as long as you want."

Zhou Cang immediately smiled and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely feed them until they are plump."

However, his smile soon faded.

Luo Xi glanced at him: "What's wrong? Did something else happen?"

After considering for a moment, Zhou Cang asked, "Are we really going to start planting tomorrow?"

"Today, my men went to buy cattle, but when they heard that we were buying them to farm, they all said we were fools."

People are selling cattle to buy grain or to escape famine, but he's buying cattle to farm. He really does look like a fool.

Seeing how worried he was, Rosie sighed and said, "Come with me."

It's time to let him see his recent experimental results, lest he lose confidence himself and then how can he lead others to do things well.

The leader has a secret weapon? Zhou Cang's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly followed.

But when Luo Xi pointed to several pots of lush green wheat seedlings, vegetable seedlings, and bean seedlings, Zhou Cang was very disappointed.

Such wheat and vegetables are easy to grow, as long as you are a farmer and are willing to put in a little effort. There's nothing special about them.

However, he still forced a smile and praised, "Boss, you're really interested in growing your own vegetables. Hehe, your vegetables are really well grown, so green and lush."

Listening to his blatantly fake praise, Luo Xi knew that this person hadn't grasped the key point at all.

She had no choice but to part the wheat seedlings to reveal the soil underneath: "I showed you this. Isn't this similar to the soil in the fields today? If it were you, could you grow anything in such dry soil?"

Uh, Zhou Cang then realized he had misunderstood and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do until Luo Xi repeated what she had just said.

Zhou Cang quickly turned his attention to the soil in the basin, but after just one glance, his pupils involuntarily dilated, and he almost forgot to breathe: "This, how is this possible, this is impossible..."

He hurriedly picked up a small shovel and slowly dug down until he reached the bottom of the basin, which was still filled with excessively dry soil, so dry that it didn't even stick to his hands.

But the wheat seedlings in the pot were all lush and green, even growing better than the wheat they had carefully tended before.

Zhou Cang felt he must be dreaming. The most important things for farming are fertilizer and water. Without fertilizer, crops will grow poorly, and without water, they will die right before your eyes.

Yes, I must be dreaming, otherwise, how come the wheat hasn't died even though the soil is so dry?

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.

"Pfft—" Liu Xiaoyu next to him was immediately amused: "Manager Zhou, you're not dreaming, this is all real."

As someone who witnessed her master's experiments time and time again, Liu Xiaoyu went from being shocked and incredulous at the beginning, even feeling like she was going crazy, to now only feeling full of respect and admiration for Luo Xi.

My master is a true deity descended from heaven, possessing not only a compassionate heart but also the ability to accomplish many things that ordinary people cannot.

Luo Xi was speechless at Zhou Cang's actions. Was it really necessary to go to such an extreme?

She looked up at Jiuxian, who was eating snacks next to her, and then prepared to explain the story she had prepared to Zhou Cang.

Nine Strings, with a small snack still in his mouth: "..."

I had a feeling that this glance was malicious.

Sure enough, the next moment, Luo Xi said, "A few days ago, Jiu Xian gave me a secret method. Seeds treated with this method grow into plants that are more drought-resistant and heat-resistant."

"As you can see, these wheat and vegetable seeds were planted after I treated them using this secret method. Aren't they growing well and perfect for our current weather?"

The so-called secret method is actually the effect of the spiritual spring water in the space. Seeds soaked in it not only have extremely strong vitality, but can also absorb the smallest amount of moisture from the air.

Just like plants in the desert, or even more effective.

Of course, the Spirit Spring Water couldn't be revealed, so Luo Xi had to use the Nine Strings to deflect the question. After all, wasn't he always bored and looking for fights everywhere?

Moreover, it's better to die for a fellow Daoist than for myself.

No problem!

"You don't need to thank me," she said to Jiuxian with a smile.

Although it seemed rather nonsensical, Jiuxian strangely understood what she meant.

"Ten packs of spicy strips, and this is the last time," he said expressionlessly.

The Azure Dragon hidden in the shadows: "..."

OP, you've said this countless times.

Can't we be a little more trustworthy?
