Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

He looked at her as if she were a monster.

Zhou Guo knew that if she didn't say anything, he would probably think she was a monster, so she looked at her hands and said puzzledly: "I don't know what happened. I gained strength in the first few days after I started on the road. In recent days, my strength seems to have increased a little bit."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Dacang and asked expectantly, "Uncle, are there any strong people among our ancestors? Maybe my strength is inherited from my ancestors?"

There's no way she was picked up.

Seeing that she couldn't explain it herself, Zhou Da Cang suddenly relaxed a lot for some reason. He wiped off the cold sweat and said with lingering fear: "Oh my god, you are really scary. You are so strong. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it."

Zhou Guo didn't say anything. Not to mention him, she herself was also shocked. If it weren't for the special situation, she was not going to show off her skills in front of him. Alas, she had this strength in her hands and she didn't dare to show it casually. If someone saw it, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth full of mouths. Wouldn't she be caught as a monster and burned in a pond?

Thinking of this, she was suddenly frightened.

Zhou Dacang was a little scared at first, but when he saw her little face turned pale and her small body trembling, he immediately felt pity for her. This child was only eight years old!

I was dumb for the first eight years, but I never expected to wake up with strange strength. My father was captured, and I followed my family to escape, never complaining. Whenever I had free time, I carried a basket to dig wild vegetables and weeds, and I had to take my brother to find water for the family. Now that they are in danger, they are the first to come to me to discuss how to protect my family...

He hurriedly comforted her, "Guoguo, don't be afraid. It's just a bit of strength. What's the big deal? This is a good thing. Think about it. No one can bully you anymore. If you don't like someone, just punch him. He will definitely fall flat on his face. Just think how impressive that is, isn't it?"

The more he spoke, the more he spoke. "Alas, it's a pity that you are a girl. If you were a boy, you could join the army. With your strength, you can definitely become a general. Then our family will be rich!"

The more I talk about it, the more I feel that this is the case. It's such a pity. Why didn't I get such a good thing?

Zhou Guo saw his expression change like the weather had changed. He was afraid just now, but now his face was full of envy and jealousy. He could not help but be speechless and reminded: "Uncle, you haven't answered me yet. Is there anyone in our family who is very strong?"

Zhou Dacang woke up as if from a dream, "Oh, right, right." After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't remember anyone who is very strong. My grandfather, your great grandfather, doesn't have this ability, your grandfather doesn't have this ability, your father and uncle don't have this ability, you are the only one in the younger generation who has this ability..."

He looked at her suspiciously and said, "Yes, this child is different from them."

"Then I'm afraid I was picked up and I'm not a member of your family." Zhou Guo joked.

"No, no, that's not the case. Your mother gave birth to you with great difficulty. You were born in the morning, and the sun had just come out, filling the yard with beautiful rosy clouds. I still remember it. You can't say anything nonsense, otherwise your mother will be so sad." Zhou Dacang was very anxious and waved his hands repeatedly. If the child went back and said this, he would be very sad.

Zhou Guo said: "I know, I know, let's go back."

Zhou Dacang warned worriedly, "Don't say anything when you go back. You absolutely can't say that!"

"I know! I won't tell you! What are you afraid of?"

After this interruption, Zhou Dacang felt much better and could accept his niece's strange abilities. On the way back, he even joked with her, "How strong are you? Can you lift me up and throw me out?"

Zhou Guo looked at him in surprise, not understanding why anyone would have such a request. She also wanted to test how strong she was, so she put down the things in her hands, grabbed Zhou Dacang's clothes on the back of his waist with both hands, and lifted him up with a breath.

The movements are done in one go.

Before Zhou Dacang could react, he flew into the air and fell sideways the next second.

He was horrified. The feeling of being so light and powerless made him dare not move. His hands and feet were stiff, for fear that his niece would really throw him out in an instant. He hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, Guoguo, Guoguo, don't move, don't move, I was just joking, put me down quickly, don't really throw me out, if you throw me out, I will lose half my life if I don't die, uncle finally knows what you are capable of, put me down quickly, put me down."

Zhou Guo raised the corner of his mouth, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and he gently threw the person up like a broken stone, and caught him again.

Zhou Dacang was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. His whole body was stiff. He closed his eyes tightly and didn't even dare to look.

Zhou Guo gently tossed the man twice, and when he felt it was almost done, he put him down and explained his doubts to him, "Look, little uncle, even if there were two of you, I could still lift him up and throw him out."

Zhou Dacang lay on the ground with his face pale and eyes closed pretending to be dead. He didn't even hum when he heard the words. He would never talk nonsense next time. This kid was serious. He almost lost half his life.

Seeing that he still couldn't get up, Zhou Guo knew that he was probably frightened, so he comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm very strong, I know the strength of my hands, I won't drop you, even if I want to drop you, I will never hurt you."

Zhou Dacang snorted softly, "You really want to throw me out? I'm your uncle, how can you be so disrespectful?"

Zhou Guo said: "Isn't that what you asked for?"

Zhou Dacang: “…”

The two of them walked home one after the other, carrying the things. Zhou Guo didn't want to let her family know about her strength yet. It's better to have less trouble than more these days. Zhou Dacang also thought it was a good idea this way.

So, the two of them returned to the camp and said nothing.

When the people who were looking for water and digging wild vegetables came back one after another, they saw a dozen smooth, straight and sharpened sticks on the ground at a glance.

"Uncle, why are you cutting so many sticks?" Zhou Tao pointed at a dozen sticks on the ground.

Zhou Su said, "They can be used to make shoulder poles, but do we need so many shoulder poles? We have a cart at home."

Everyone looked at the two of them.

Zhou Dacang said, "We couldn't find any water, so Guoguo thought of cutting a stick for each of us to use as a walking stick. It will not only save energy but also be useful for hitting people."

"Who are you hitting? If you use such a sharp stick, won't the person be injured or disabled? How much money will you have to pay to that person?" Xu said.

When they heard that they had to pay compensation, the children said they would not fight, and that their father was kidnapped because he went out to find a job to earn money.

Only Mrs. Huang and Old Man Zhou said nothing. They were old and experienced a lot. Even those who had no experience had heard enough and had seen the scenes along the way. They felt that their youngest son's worries were not unreasonable.
