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

The moonlight is bright tonight, so there is no need for torches when traveling.

There was no need to move forward with torches, and the road ahead was clearly visible, so the team moved much faster.

After so many days and so much traveling at night, everyone has gotten used to it and walks steadily and quickly, feeling energetic and full of energy.

But the other refugees were not so lucky. They had not slept much during the day, and now was the time for them to rest, but they still had to hurry on. Everyone was trying hard to keep their eyes open, but they could not see clearly. From time to time, they were tripped by stones, or they missed a step and fell into the ditch beside them. The cries of pain could be heard continuously.

Zhou Guo couldn't help but smile when he heard this. You deserve it! You have bad intentions.

The team stopped to rest for half an hour and eat something, then got up and continued on their journey half an hour later.

The refugees behind him were already exhausted. They ate grass roots and sipped the little remaining water. They looked at the people in front of them who were drinking water and eating in big gulps, and they felt so angry that their teeth were itching. These people could only travel such a long way because they had food and drink.

They are all refugees, why do they have to live like this while those people in front are just like visiting relatives, they have everything.

They secretly made up their minds to get the things in front of them, so that they could use them to get out of this hellhole as soon as possible.

A small number of people began to think of giving up, mainly because they did not have enough food and drink. They had struggled for their lives in the first half of the night to avoid being abandoned. If they continued to walk so fast in the second half of the night, they would definitely not be able to walk anymore. It would be a waste of effort and they would end up tiring themselves to death.

It’s better to eat grass roots. Everyone eats that anyway, so you won’t starve to death. As for axes and other things, even though you want them very much, you have to have the life to get them.

So, when they set out on the road again, some of them just gave up and fell asleep, closing their eyes and falling asleep.

The remaining people were secretly happy when they saw this. This was even better. With fewer people, there would be fewer opponents, and they could get more food.

He got up and hurried forward.

Zhou Guo couldn't help but sneer when he saw them following him again. The chance had already been given, and if these people didn't want it, then don't blame them.

When they stopped to rest, these people kept their eyes on them. Even the seven or eight-year-old kids in the team noticed something was wrong.

"Dad, Dad, look at what those people behind us are doing. They follow us when we move, and they take a break when we rest. Do they want to steal our things?"

The adults had long known from Zhou Dacang that this group of people were probably not good people, so they said to the children: "You never know, when a fight starts, you just hide behind, find a place to hide, if a fight starts, Dad won't be able to take care of you for a while."

"I'm not afraid, Dad. I'll go with you. These bad guys won't be able to steal our things. Even Zhou Guo is not afraid. I don't believe that I'm not as good as a little girl. I've fought in wars before."

There are many children who think this way.

The adults didn't know how to tell them for a moment that Zhou Guo was blessed by the Bodhisattva, and was the golden boy in front of the Bodhisattva who came down to save him in this life. His strength was beyond that of men like them, so what could you compare with?

Zhou Guo didn't know how these people accepted her unusualness so easily. If it were her in her previous life, she would have been extremely surprised. But she was relieved that she was not treated as an abnormal person.

"Sister, look at those people, are they trying to rob or steal? They are all looking this way with their necks shrunk, and as soon as we look over there, we pretend to turn away, fearing that others will not know they are hiding something and that the day will be dawn if we don't take action." Zhou Su looked up at the sky, not looking afraid at all.

Li looked helplessly at her younger son who was more courageous than the sky, and said, "Isn't it just right if you don't fight? Aren't you afraid if a fight starts?"

Zhou Su said: "I'm not afraid. There are so many of us and only a few of them. Besides, I've been able to beat up the bad guys for a long time. It's just right. I'll beat them one by one and beat them till they are left with their teeth on the ground!"

The little guy is very tall, but he has a big voice.

It made everyone laugh.

While one side was discussing why the other side hadn't taken action yet, the other side was also complaining, "How come these people are made of iron? They have been walking all night and they haven't rested yet. What do they want to do?"

"Yes, why do they walk so fast? How can the elderly and children bear it? Not to mention them, I can't bear it either. My legs feel like they are about to break. I have been walking with them for so long during the day and have to continue walking at night. They only rest for a few hours. How can they not be exhausted to death?"

Someone suggested, "Brother, I think we should attack now. If we wait any longer, it will be too late to attack at daybreak. We are weak and without food or water, we can't outlast them. Sooner or later, we will be left behind."

"Yes, the moonlight is not very bright now, and it's hard to see clearly. Let's go together, grab the things in the dark and run away, and hide in some corner of the mountain nearby. It's dark and the road conditions are bad, so they will go to hell to find us."

In just half a day and one night, a group of people pushed out a leader. The leader took a fancy to the axe in Zhou Guo's hand at first sight. As for food, he felt that with the axe, everything would be fine.

Looking at the people around me, they all had pale faces and dark circles under their eyelids. Some even took advantage of this opportunity to lie on the ground and fall asleep. If I continue to walk like this for another day and night, I'm afraid these people will disperse.

He made up his mind and nodded. "However, we have to strike right when we are on the road. They will definitely not be prepared at that time. With so many of us attacking together, they will definitely not have time to react. Remember, after grabbing the things, run to the mountains on both sides. Once you get to the mountains, walk all the way back. We will meet here at this time tomorrow night."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they had remembered it firmly, and were eager to get going.

Zhou Guo and his group secretly watched this conversation. Zhou Guo was speechless. How come those people didn't know how to hold back when it was so obvious? Or did they think they had no resistance at all? They were just lambs to be slaughtered?

They were not the lambs to be slaughtered, but a group of people from the neighboring county who were somewhat similar, either old or young. However, they were all arranged to the front by the village head, so if they fought in the back they would not be affected for a while.

After resting enough, the head of the village called out to set off. Everyone patted their butts, put on their water bottles, and pushed the carts to get ready to go.

Suddenly, the people behind rushed over screaming.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared and had quietly taken their hoes, sickles and sticks.

As soon as the people got close, a group of people picked up their weapons and started beating them.
