Zhou Cang looked at the soil for a while, then at the wheat seedlings, and it took him a long time to accept this fact. What followed was ecstasy.

"Boss, does that mean that even if the drought continues, we can still grow food as before?"

Infected by his emotions, Rose couldn't help but smile: "Not bad."

"That's great, that's great!" Zhou Cang, who was already middle-aged, couldn't help but dance with excitement like a child, and his beard stood up.

"Just a couple of days ago, I was worried about what would happen if the drought lasted too long, what if there wasn't enough food, what if..."

"Hey, now it's all good. We can farm, so we'll have more food than we can eat. We won't go hungry, and we won't have to leave our hometowns to escape famine."

Seeing Zhou Cang's excessive excitement, Luo Xi did not stop him, but sat quietly drinking tea until he had vented his emotions, then instructed him: "Remember, don't spread this around beforehand, so as not to cause any other complications."

Zhou Cang, whose life had been full of hardships since childhood, naturally understood the ins and outs of this: "Don't worry, Chief, I know what to do."

However, such good news cannot be kept secret for long; once the crops grow, everyone will know.

Zhou Cang began to worry again: "Many people have run out of food. In a few more days, even the grass roots and tree bark will be eaten up. If they find out that our manor has such a powerful secret method, then we'll be in big trouble."

He looked at Luo Xi with a pale face: "Boss, shouldn't we make some plans soon?"

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we've already thought this through. It doesn't matter if people find out."

Besides, such a bizarre thing is probably unbelievable if told to others.

She looked at Jiuxian and asked, "How's the news you spread going?"

Jiuxian slowly raised his eyes: "It has already spread throughout the entire Nanyue County. I believe that before long, no one in the entire Tianqi will be unaware of your name, Luo Xi."

In other words, it won't be long before we find that kid Chu Zhe. Thinking of this, Luo Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sincerely praised, "Well done."

Jiuxian gave a faint "hmm," but upon closer inspection, a slight hint of smugness flashed in his deep eyes.

“Those people who are coming to cause you trouble will be here soon, so don’t just spend your days farming.” Jiuxian couldn’t help but remind him, “Don’t end up so clumsy from farming that you can’t even beat those fake farmers.”

"Don't expect me to help you then."

“Am I that kind of person?” Loxi raised his eyebrows confidently: “Besides, even if I farmed every day, I could still beat you to a pulp, not to mention those scoundrels and bandits.”

Now that her crystal core has been almost repaired, unless she is surrounded by several experts like Jiu Xian, it will probably be difficult to defeat her.

"But you, you lose every time, and you still have the nerve to say you're helping me."

Nine Strings, who lost another game last night: "..."

"I'll win next time," he said dejectedly.

I always felt that this person had some kind of secret cultivation method, otherwise we could always fight to a draw before. Why is it that now, even though my internal strength has improved to a higher level, I still have to lose?

Luo Xi only glanced at him indifferently and did not reply.

The meaning is self-evident.

However, the Red Mansion was indeed quite efficient at transmitting messages.

Just as Jiu Xian said, in just a few days, everyone from peddlers to ordinary people was talking about Luo Xi and Chaoyang Manor.

"Have you heard? The thief who outwitted the bandits in the mountains a few days ago was a young woman named Luo Xi and the owner of the Red Mansion in disguise. They've now taken up arms in Tongning County and started a bandit group called Chaoyang Manor."

"The Master of the Red Chamber? Could it be the Red Chamber I'm thinking of?"

"It's that Red Mansion."

"My God, this young lady Luo Xi is too bold. That's the Red Chamber. I'm a little scared just thinking about that name. How dare she associate with them."

"Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? Don't you think it's satisfying that she stole from those ruthless thieves?"

"Yes, that really felt good. You guys don't know how wicked that Jiuqu Village is. They not only robbed people of their money, but also raped them. Many young women were captured by them and tortured to death."

"Yeah, you can tell. I was so scared that I didn't dare to take my daughter across that mountain. I could only find a place to hide for a whole month."

"Actually, I envy this young lady more. She stole so much grain and valuables from the other bandits, she must be very rich, right?"

"Besides, she doesn't sound like a bad person. If I go and seek refuge with her, will I not go hungry, and will I not have to flee to the south thousands of miles away to escape famine?"

A moment of silence fell over the area as everyone looked at each other.

After a while, one of the bolder boys asked, "Will she take us in?"

As for the fact that staying would turn them into bandits, they no longer cared about that in the face of life and death.

"Isn't it supposed to be that as long as you go to the martial arts competition, you can stay even if you lose, and you get paid if you win?"

"You must have misheard. How could there be such a good thing? How could someone lose and still stay? Besides the Master of the Red Mansion, who can beat Lady Luo? She's the kind of person who's outmaneuvered more than a dozen mountain strongholds around here."

"If that's the case, then everyone who went to find her would have to stay. I think it's more likely that she'll stay and win against the person she's looking for."

"Hey, I just heard about it, but I can try my luck anyway, since this damn weather, and this damn..."

He looked around fearfully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no government officials there: "Anyway, my family members are either dead or missing, and I'm all alone. I'm almost out of options now, so there's no harm in going to check. Maybe I can find a way to survive."
