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

He had never seen such a poor bandit den, and he felt it did not deserve the name.

Qian Duo was a little ashamed, "Yes, that's what the old man said. They had a hard life following me, so shouldn't we let the eldest boss take charge now?"

Zhou Guo said: "It was not easy for you either. You didn't lead them to burn, kill and loot in the nearby villages, and they were able to have enough food. You must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"

After hearing this, Qian Duo's eyes gradually turned red. God knew how miserable he was. He wished he could spend every penny carefully. He patched up his torn clothes and didn't have a good outfit. He was afraid that his subordinates would not have enough to eat and would do bad things.

Seeing him crying again, Zhou Guo immediately shut up, thought for a moment and then comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, those hard days are over. From now on, as long as you work hard, I promise to make sure you brothers have enough food to eat, okay?"

The old man was dumbfounded and asked Zhou Guo in a low voice, "Have you figured it out? Is he really the head of the village?"

Zhou Guo nodded.

The old man was even more puzzled, "Why does he cry all the time? A grown man is like a grown-up wife. Could this person be a man dressed as a woman? Is he a woman?"

Zhou Guo was stunned, frowned, turned to look at Qian Duo, and felt more and more that it seemed to be the case.

I didn't notice it before it got dark, but it seems that he is not very tall, has thin bones, and his skin is whiter than others...

He turned around and looked at the old man, then looked at Qian Duo.

Qian Duo was frightened by the two men's stares, "What, what happened?"

Zhou Guo leaned closer and said, "...You, you are not a woman, are you?"

Qian Duo: “…”

She was furious. "What are you talking about? You don't insult people the way you do. How am I a woman? Which eye of yours saw that I am a woman? You are the woman!"

Each sound is louder than the last.

Everyone outside looked over.

Zhou Guo said quickly, "Yes, yes, I am a woman. If I were not a woman, why would you cry so easily? And you look so petite and fair, it's hard not to think that way."

The people outside laughed secretly when they saw this.

Qian Duo said unhappily, "You think I want to? I've had this problem since I was a kid, and I'm not growing taller. What can I do?"

Zhou Guo asked curiously, "Did anyone else say anything about you?"

Qian Duo looked at her and said reluctantly, "Of course I didn't. There were many. I was bullied a lot since I was a child. Later, I went to the military camp and learned martial arts from the master. No one around me could beat me, so they stopped now."

Zhou Guo suddenly realized, "So that's it."

After taking a look at him, I found out that he was the boss, and he was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a fair complexion. Compared with other rough guys in the village, he was really a pretty boy, and his handsome appearance did not look like a soldier.

The old man nodded and said, "Let your fists do the talking. Good."

After dinner, Zhou Guo decided to use his fists to speak.

Everyone stood in one place, looking excitedly at the few people in the middle of the field.

These are the best fighters in the village, and even five of them may not be able to defeat one of them.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Guo standing aside. He was so small and short, and looked like a little kid. He wouldn't be able to stand next to them. Could he really win?

Someone whispered, "What if the boss can't win? She won't be our boss anymore. Then we won't have a good life in the future. Will we still have to eat bran and vegetables every day, living like monks?"

That was true. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They were a little reluctant to part with the money. After all, Zhou Guo was a god of wealth. He could give out twenty taels of silver ingots at a time and buy as much meat and wine as they wanted. If they missed this opportunity, where could they find such a generous boss again?

Many people began to worry and hoped that Zhou Guo would win, so that their good days would come.

Some of the remaining people are wavering, while a small number think that being rich and being the boss is good enough. They can eat and dress warmly now, and their lives are already very comfortable, so there is no need to make changes.

Who knows where this boss comes from? We don’t know what kind of life he will live in the future, and it may not be a good life.

Zhou Guo stood on the field, rubbed his wrist, looked at the others with a smile and said, "Who will go first? Or will we go together?"

With just one sentence, the people on the opposite side snorted in anger. A square-faced man said, "Humph, don't be so arrogant at such a young age. You will be the one who will be embarrassed kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. I will meet you first."

He came forward, stood in the middle of the field and said, "Come on, you can choose a weapon."

Zhou Guo looked at their weapon racks, a row of sticks and a few swords, and shook his head, "Why don't you choose?"

The square-faced man said, "I am good at fists and feet, I don't need weapons. If you don't want weapons, don't say I am bullying you."

The two stood on the field, ready to fight.

The opponent lost his temper first and attacked Zhou Guo's chest with his fist raised, but Zhou Guo didn't take it seriously and only used 50% of his strength in this punch.

Zhou Guo shook his head, it was too light and not good enough.

When his fist was about to hit his chest, he dodged sideways, turned his right hand up, grabbed his right fist and bent it backwards, while at the same time kicking towards his right leg with his right foot.

The other party was shocked and struggled hard, but found that he didn't move at all. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get free. He just knelt down in front of a little kid in front of everyone, looking extremely embarrassed.

The people below were stunned!

I didn't understand how all this happened. "Hey, I just closed my eyes and didn't see clearly. How did the boss do it? Did you see it?"

"Tsk tsk, I think we should stop struggling and just follow along. No wonder Boss Qian doesn't play. So that's how it is."

Qian Duo couldn't help but move his neck, glanced at the old man beside him, and couldn't help but move closer and asked: "Old man, how powerful is the boss?"

The old man looked at him and said, "Not that great, but someone like you shouldn't be good enough."

Qian Duo secretly felt lucky that he cooperated with him, otherwise his head would no longer be on his neck.

Zhou Guo let him go and said with a smile, "You lose. Next one."

The next one was the one using a stick, and he picked one for Zhou Guo as well.

Zhou Guo took the stick and tried it, then said with a smile: "Okay, let me see your stick skills."

The other party didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, knowing that this was a powerful character.

The stick was shaken forward and stabbed forward like the wind.

Zhou Guo raised the stick and flicked it deftly, sending the stick in the opponent's hand flying...

flew out...

This really left everyone stunned. At least he had shown some skills when he was boxing, but this time it fell down with just a push. It was just like an adult competing with a two or three year old child.

The young man opposite looked at her blankly, then looked at his own hand. He still didn't understand how the stick flew out. It seemed that a particularly strong force hit him, and his hand felt numb and painful, so he couldn't help but let go, and then the stick flew out.

The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction. This was probably the result of one man's strength defeating ten men's skills.
