Chapter 758 White Wolf
Lu Zilin's family law was enforced.

This means something different.

Who is Lu Zilin?
He is the contemporary head of the Lu family.

It's still a village agreement, a member of the government.

With Lu Zilin's status, he would never have been beaten.Bai Jiaxuan never thought about doing anything to Lu Zilin.

However, Lu Zilin has been a lackey of the government and bullied his neighbors, and his reputation has been bad for several years.Everyone didn't have a good impression of Lu Zilin, they were all disgusted.

Under such circumstances, Lu Zilin took the lead in gambling and doing all kinds of bad things, which aroused public outrage.

When Zhou Qiang stepped forward and demanded that Lu Zilin be severely punished, the villagers finally couldn't help but explode.

Not only people surnamed Bai demanded to punish Lu Zilin, but people surnamed Lu did the same.

Lu Zilin was so greedy that he offended all the villagers in Bailu Village.Except for a few dog legs and concubines.

"No, Bai Jiaxuan, you can't use family law against me!" As Lu Zilin yelled, several men held Lu Zilin down and beat him up.

"Ah, it hurts to death!"

"You are presumptuous! I am Xiangyue!"

"I'm in charge of the patriarch!"

"Whoever hits me, I will kill him!"

Lu Zilin kept talking harshly.

Not only was it ineffective, it was counterproductive.

The person who strikes, strikes harder.

Lu Zilin's back was bloody from the beating.

Not only that, but also his hand, Lu Zilin's hand was also beaten.

Because Lu Zilin gambled, he was a thug.

Bai Jiaxuan was merciful and didn't feed Lu Zilin shit.

In the ancestral hall, Lu Taiheng was not there.

After the reputation of the Lu family became bad, Lu Taiheng hardly came to the ancestral hall for meetings.

If Lu Taiheng was here, maybe Lu Zilin would not have been beaten.

After beating Lu Zilin, they broke up.

Bai Xing'er and others carried Lu Zilin home.

Along the way, Lu Zilin was still cursing, "Bai Jiaxuan, you wait for me, I will report to the police to arrest you!"

Lu Zilin only dared to take revenge on Bai Jiaxuan, not Zhou Qiang.

In the past few years, Zhou Qiang's reputation has grown.

The big tree attracts the wind, but it still attracts bandits.

Several bandits came to Yuanshang to attack Zhou Qiang.

What is the result?
The bandits were all shot to death.

The corpses were taken to mass graves and buried.

Lu Zilin saw it with his own eyes.

Seeing those corpses, Lu Zilin couldn't hold back and peed.

Lu Zilin is a coward, and when the critical moment comes, he will die.

You can also bully and bully women.

From then on, Lu Zilin never dared to provoke Zhou Qiang again.

Behind, there are clever bandits who ambushed Zhou Qiang halfway.

However, the bandits in ambush were discovered early, and Zhou Qiang sent people to touch them quietly, and shot them to death indiscriminately.

Since then, no bandit dared to provoke Zhou Qiang near Bailuyuan.

Lu Zilin was carried home.

"How did you make it like this?" Lu Taiheng and Lu Heshi panicked.

Bai Xing'er and the others added fuel to the air and said a lot of bad things about Bai Jiaxuan.

But Lu Taiheng is not old-fashioned, he understands that Lu Zilin has done too much, and Bai Jiaxuan has to resort to Lu Zilin's family law in the excitement of the crowd.

However, knowing it all, Lu Taiheng still hated Bai Jiaxuan, and planned to clean up Bai Jiaxuan when there was a suitable opportunity.

The ancestral hall is over.

It was getting late, Zhou Qiang went home.

After walking for a while, I suddenly felt a fierce spirit and came near the village.

Zhou Qiang counted his fingers and knew that it was the white wolf.

In the novel "White Deer Plain", it is about the white deer and the white wolf.

The white deer represents a good harvest and auspiciousness.

And the white wolf represents the disaster of blood and light, representing the coming of disaster.

Whether it is Bailu or Bailang, in the novel, it refers to the luck of Bailu Village.

If the villagers of Bailu Village have friendly neighbors, simple folk customs, help each other, and are peaceful, then the luck of Bailu Village is a white deer that symbolizes "beautiful".

On the contrary, it is the white wolf.

Now, the white wolf is here, which means that the peaceful atmosphere of Bailu Village is gone, and it means that Bailu Village is about to suffer disaster.

Zhou Qiang walked in the direction of the white wolf, he wanted to see what the white wolf was like.

outside the village.

Total darkness.

A pair of green eyes were staring at Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang looked indifferent and walked over casually.

The white wolf bared his teeth, as if he was threatening Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang approached step by step.

The white wolf howled suddenly and ran away.

"What a timid little white wolf." The white wolf is not small, bigger than ordinary wolves, but Zhou Qiang thinks the white wolf is too small.

Too lazy to chase, Zhou Qiang went home directly.

The next day.

Bai Jiaxuan called Zhou Qiang, and they went to the provincial capital together.

Bai Jiaxuan wanted to see what Zhou Qiang said about the new primary school.

"Patriarch, the outside world has changed a lot now. There are not only new primary schools, but also large schools, and hospitals run by foreigners. I heard that there are trains in Wusong." Zhou Qiang casually talked about the changes outside.

Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were dumbfounded.

They know almost nothing about the changes outside.

"Patriarch, do you still remember the little note that Mr. Zhu left before? The feet are enlarged, the hair is shortened, and the nails are often cut to make the pockets shallower."

"Remember."

"For people outside, men's pigtails have been cut off, and women's feet are no longer bound.

The nails are not so long anymore.

The men in our village, except for the old with long hair, the young have all shaved their heads.

However, the bad habit of women's feet is still there.

Patriarch, our village should abolish foot binding. "

"Abolish foot binding?" Bai Jiaxuan was a little confused as to whether feet should be bound or not.

Although Mr. Zhu left a message to cancel the foot binding, but the foot binding has been bound for an unknown number of years, maybe thousands of years.

Now, it's hard to get used to the jerk off foot binding.

"Patriarch, none of the women outside have their feet bound.

From now on, women who don't have feet bound can get married, and those who have feet bound, I'm afraid it won't be easy to marry. "

Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San didn't speak, they were a little bit in disbelief.

"Patriarch, you should take a good look in the provincial capital. None of the girls in primary school have their feet bound."

Bai Jiaxuan nodded, but still didn't say anything.He wanted to see what girls in the provincial capital looked like.

Arrived in the provincial capital.

They first went to Zhou Qiang's wine butcher shop.

"Patriarch, third brother, come, let's eat and drink casually, and then go to the nearby elementary school." Zhou Qiang asked someone to cut some cooked food and get a pot of wine.

"Xiaoqiang, how much money does your shop make?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.

"Not much, excluding expenses, it's only 30 yuan a month."

"That's a lot!" Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were a little surprised.

"It's okay. This shop was bought in the year when the Qing soldiers besieged the city.

I bought two shops.

This shop earns less.

There is also a shop selling foreign goods.

That shop can earn hundreds of dollars a month. "Selling foreign goods is a good business, and you can earn more.

"Shangbai Dayang?" Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were both surprised from ear to ear.

"Yes, come, eat meat, let's have a toast." Zhou Qiang didn't mention other shops.

Zhou Qiang's shops are more than these two.

In the past few years, he has bought several shops, the largest one selling French fries.The net profit for one month is 600 yuan.

Of course, to earn so much, you need to take care of it.

Zhou Qiang also made friends with some dignitaries.

Zhou Qiang, the county magistrate of Zishui County, is also very familiar with him, and he also does business with the county magistrate's uncle.

Governor Zhang's brother-in-law, Zhou Qiang, also pulled him together to do business.

After eating and drinking, they went to a nearby new primary school.

Zhou Qiang talked to the guard and let them in.

Everything in the classroom, tables and chairs, students, teachers, curriculum, teaching materials, etc. opened Bai Jiaxuan's eyes.

Compared with the private schools in the past, everything about the new primary school has changed a lot.

Although some private school courses are retained, the teaching methods and other aspects have changed.

Teachers have also changed, not only scholars and juren, but also foreigners, foreign students, graduates of normal schools, and other new types of intellectuals.

"Xiaoqiang, why did this elementary school become like this?" Bai Jiaxuan found it hard to accept.

"Patriarch, times have changed.

All of our changes were brought about by foreigners.

Foreigners have foreign guns and cannons, but we do not.

Therefore, before fighting against foreigners, they kept losing.

Didn't that old lady Cixi hide in Chang'an City?

Foreigners still have cars and trains, but neither do we.

If we want to make guns, cannons, cars and trains, we have to learn the knowledge of foreigners, so we have new schools. " Zhou Qiang said casually.

"The emperor is gone, and the old woman is dead. The world has really changed." Bai Jiaxuan sighed.Without the emperor, Bai Jiaxuan was always at a loss.

"That's right, patriarch, our village has to change too, don't let girls' feet be bound."

"Then why aren't feet bound anymore? Don't foreign girls have their feet bound?" Bai Jiaxuan saw just now that all the girls in elementary school had no feet bound.

"Patriarch, footbinding is a bad habit, a means of persecuting women, it should have been abolished long ago." What Zhou Qiang said made Bai Jiaxuan silent.

Several people left the primary school.

Zhou Qiang took Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San around again.

"Look, that's a car.

Made by foreigners, they run fast.

It burns gasoline. "

"There's a photo studio over there."

"It's a hospital for foreigners."

"It was a big school. Now the study has changed, and the imperial examination is no longer taken. However, after graduating from school, you can go to the government to find a job."

"Patriarch, times have changed. Our village should also change."

After walking around for a long time, Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San opened their eyes.

Bai Jiaxuan took time to visit his relative's house, but he didn't stay long, and he also knew that the girl in the relative's house did not have feet bound.

At night, they stayed at Zhou Qiang's house.

Zhou Qiang had someone prepare a banquet.

"This is the gourd chicken from Chang'an Restaurant, the gourd head from Chunfa, the dumplings from Defachang, and the old wine from Zhouji Wine Shop."

"What? I've heard of these foods, why haven't I heard of this wine?" Bai Jiaxuan looked curious.

"Haha, patriarch, this wine is from my wine shop. It's very beautiful. Let's drink it." The wine brewed by Zhou Qiang is delicious, and now he has a certain reputation.

In Chang'an City, many people know that there are old wines from Zhouji Wine Shop.

"So you made the wine! Your wine is delicious." Bai Jiaxuan often changes wine at Zhou Qiang's place.

"Come on, patriarch, third brother, let me toast you."

the next day.

Several people got up early.

Take a casual bite.

Then rush back.

On the way back, Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San kept talking.

"That foreigner looks like a ghost, it looks scary." Lu San felt that the foreigner was not human.

"The car can drive all the time without feeding food."

"The foreigner's hospital is not herbal medicine, but a small pill. Why do those foreign doctors wear white clothes, just like filial piety." Lu San felt that everything was wrong.

"This time I really opened my eyes!" Bai Jiaxuan sighed.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, society has been undergoing drastic changes.

It is difficult for ordinary people who don't understand anything to adapt.

"Patriarch, when we go back, we should tell everyone not to let the girls' feet be bound. Otherwise, our village girls will not be able to marry when they grow up." Zhou Qiang talked about footbinding again.

"It's time to get rid of foot binding." Bai Jiaxuan agreed. After knowing the situation in the provincial capital, Bai Jiaxuan also felt that the village should change, "Xiaoqiang, how do we build this new primary school?"

"I have already discussed with the county magistrate He of Zishui County, and the magistrate He agreed that we should build a primary school.

However, due to insufficient funds, I need to pay for it. "

"You pay?" Bai Jiaxuan hesitated.

"Patriarch, the matter of money is nothing. I'm worried that the big guys won't come to the new primary school." Zhou Qiang has become a successful person in the village, and he also wants to do something beneficial to Bailu Village.

"It's easy to handle. I'll go back and talk to the big guys, let the children in our village go to the new primary school."

At this time, Lu San interrupted: "Lu Zhaopeng from Lu Zilin's family is still attending a private school in the next village."

"Private schools are outdated." Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, "Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Hei Wa will not go to private schools, but to new-style primary schools."

Bai Jiaxuan finally made a change.

Under Zhou Qiang's influence, he, a representative of feudal thought, underwent some changes.

"What? Heiwa is going to a new-style primary school?" Lu San was stunned again.He never thought of letting Hei Wa go to school.

"Yes, Hei Wa also needs to go to school. Third brother, I will take care of Hei Wa's schooling." Bai Jiaxuan is still good to Lu San, and regards Lu San as his family.

"No, that kid is not expected to go to school." Lu San declined with some embarrassment.

All the way without incident.

The three of Bai Jiaxuan returned to Bailu Village.

Immediately, people surrounded Bai Jiaxuan.

One sentence to the east, one mouth to the other.

After listening to it, I realized that something happened in the village.

Last night, the white wolf came.

Killed the cattle and mules of Lu Zilin's family.

No meat, only blood.

This scene directly scared Lu Zilin to faint.

Lu Zilin's family is in chaos.

Last night, Bai Jiaxuan was not there.

It was Mr. Leng and a few old people who came forward and asked everyone to light a fire to drive away the white wolf.

Bai Jiaxuan hurried to Lu Zilin's house.

Zhou Qiang didn't follow, he went back to Zhou's residence.

"Boss, are you back?" An old man in his 50s hurried up to greet him.

He is the housekeeper hired by Zhou Qiang, a widowed old man in Fanjiazhai, Beiyuan.

"Old Fan, what's the matter?" Zhou Qiang spoke casually.

However, Zhou Qiang is very strict with the family servants.

It has always been a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

These people like this set very much.

If you are polite, you are not beautiful.

"Boss, a matchmaker has come and said that she has found the woman that the boss wants." Lao Fan's attitude was very respectful, and he didn't dare to be careless.

"Oh? You have Xin'er so soon?" Zhou Qiang's eyes lit up and he went to the main room.

Lao Fan hurriedly greeted the others to serve tea.

They do things meticulously.

Usually, Zhou Qiang often scolded him.

"Boss Zhou, I'm overjoyed! Let me tell you, I haven't been idle these two days, and I've been helping you find a woman from a scholarly family." The fat matchmaker hurriedly reported the situation to Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang quickly heard a few key words, "The ones in the pass, not the ones in Tianjiacun."

"Father is not a scholar, but grandpa is."

"I just turned twenty-eight."

"Is there a portrait?" Zhou Qiang asked after listening patiently.

Zhou Qiang asked the matchmaker to prepare a portrait of the woman before.

"Yes, yes, I'll take it with me." The matchmaker hurriedly took out the portrait.

Taking a casual look, Zhou Qiang was sure that he had no eyes.

In short, not pretty enough.

"This won't work." Zhou Qiang said bluntly, "The appearance is not good enough."

"This." The matchmaker wanted to say a few more words.

But Zhou Qiang didn't give her a chance, "You are the first to reply, and I will give you a piece of ocean.

But next time, I can't find a random woman to deal with my errands. "Zhou Qiang trained a few words and rewarded a piece of ocean.

"Yes, yes, Boss Zhou, I understand, I'll look for it for you again."

"Remember, those outside the customs are also fine." Zhou Qiang reminded again.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to go outside the pass and ask."

After the matchmaker left.

Lao Fan reported to Zhou Qiang about the white wolf, "Boss, a white wolf came to the village last night and sucked all the blood from Lu Zilin's cattle and mules."

"It's just a wolf, let Huzi and the others be careful. If the white wolf dares to come over, it will be shot to death."

"Understood, boss."

Soon Bai Jiaxuan held a family meeting.

Three things.

One is to send people to patrol at night.

The second is to abolish footbinding.

The third is to establish new primary schools.

There is nothing controversial about sending people to patrol, everyone agrees.

However, the abolition of footbinding women do not agree.

It's not that the men disagree, it's the women who disagree.

Bai Jiaxuan stood in front of the crowd and shouted:

"Go to the county town and see the girls in the county town, who else has feet bound!"

"Yesterday I went to the provincial capital. In the new primary school in the provincial capital, there is no foot binding of any girls!"

"The situation outside has changed, and we have to change with it!"

"The cost of building the new primary school was paid by Zhou Qiang himself. After the completion, everyone will let the children go to school!"
