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

The village head said with a bitter face: "I have no other choice. You can see that I have taken people to this place several times. Every time I go there, I always come back to this place. It's really weird. It's a pity that the second blind man in the east didn't come with us. Otherwise, we can ask him to calculate and dress up. Then we will definitely be able to get out."

Zhou Dacang had no choice. He could come to fight, but he couldn't do this because he was not a god.

Seeing that he couldn't think of a solution, the village head rolled his eyes and came up with an idea, saying, "Why don't we let your Guoguo lead the way?"

"Guoguo is still so young?!" Zhou Dacang looked at him in disbelief.

Then he began to ponder again. Guoguo has always been incredibly lucky. Maybe she can really lead them out.

Zhou Guo looked up at the sky above her head again. It was still full of stars. She said, "Uncle, it's midnight now. We haven't had a rest or a meal since we set out. We are tired and hungry now. It's dark now and the road is difficult to walk. I think we should rest here for the whole night and then leave at dawn tomorrow."

Everyone's emotions were about to break down, and it was not a wise decision to continue walking at this time.

Zhou Dacang looked around. Everyone looked exhausted, frightened and confused. Some were wiping their tears silently, with anxious looks on their faces. The children were so tired that they closed their eyes and could fall asleep while standing. The younger children fell asleep directly.

It is not suitable to travel at this time.

The head of the village announced this to everyone.

But when everyone heard this, they didn't feel happy at all.

"No, no, Li Zheng, this damn place might eat people. I think we should leave quickly."

"Yeah, this place is so weird. I don't dare to sleep here. I don't know what would happen if I fall asleep and get possessed by something."

...The vast majority of them don’t want to stay here and want to leave.

The village head held his hands, signaling everyone to stop arguing. When the crowd gradually quieted down, he said, "I know everyone is anxious. It's my fault, but it's getting late now, and it's hard to see clearly at night. We tried so many times, but we still ended up here. Zhou Sanlang and I discussed it, and we both think it's better for everyone to rest for a night and set off again tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he immediately added, "That girl Zhou Guo said the same thing!"

Everyone: "..."

When the people who were about to object heard this, they swallowed the words back.

"...In that case, let's cook. It's late now and everyone is tired. Let's eat something before going to sleep."

"Yes, yes, let's make some wild vegetable porridge. It's already the middle of the night. How can I sleep if I don't eat it?"

Everyone started working on the spot.

Zhou Guo stared at all this in amazement. She turned to look at her mother, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

When did her words become so effective?

Li frowned and looked worried, but said nothing.

She turned to look at her grandmother again. Huang touched her head and said, "Everyone thinks you are lucky. You are the little boy in front of the Bodhisattva who came down to transcend the tribulation. God is on your side. Naturally, what you say is what God means. I can put my worries at ease."

Zhou Mai pursed his lips after hearing this. The little boy came down to endure the tribulation, so does that mean he will return to heaven after the tribulation?

Zhou Guo pointed at herself. How could she bear the pressure of such a huge reputation? She just hoped that if she did something wrong in the future, these people would not be disappointed.

Xu and Zhou Xing cooked half a pot of wild vegetable porridge. The two children were sleeping soundly and no one had the heart to wake them up.

Zhou Guo ate three bowls of rice, found a relatively flat ground and lay down, closing his eyes with the starry sky as his pillow.

Everyone had finished eating by now, and soon the camp became quiet.

The night was hazy and a gust of wind blew in the mountains from time to time, "Woo~~Woo~~" like a demonic wind.

There were bursts of rustling sounds from the big trees around.

It looks particularly creepy in the silent night.

The timid ones couldn’t sleep at all. They shivered with their eyes closed and kept leaning towards the people around them.

It was already hot on this hot day, and they were crowded together, which made people angry. "What are you doing? Why are you pushing me? Go away."

"My, my, my back feels a little cold, please warm it for me."

"Get lost, you're so timid in this hot day. What are you afraid of? There are so many of us here. If those unclean creatures dare to come, even a breath from us would scare them to death."

Someone said quietly, "Dazhu, how do you know that Yang energy can make unclean things fly away?"

"!!!! What the heck is this? Could it be that something unclean has come here?"

Someone finally couldn't help it, and sat up with a roar, saying loudly: "Will you let me sleep? What are you doing in the middle of the night? Aren't you tired enough?! If you make a sound again, I'll use my fist to make you all see that dirty thing. Go to sleep!"

This shout woke everyone up, and everyone started cursing, and the camp was suddenly filled with noise.

Zhou Guo came out with a smile on her face. This was Wang Dafu, the strong man. She was curious about how someone could eat so much in this day and age. Later, she heard from her mother that this man was a butcher and a pig slaughterer!

No wonder he can eat so much to gain weight. Everyone in his family is strong and plump.

After a long while, the camp finally became completely quiet.

The next day, when Zhou Guo opened his eyes, what he saw was the blue sky above his head.

I turned over and sat up. The morning sunlight filled the valley, dyeing the mountains golden, which was very beautiful.

I couldn't help but sigh, "It's great, the sun is out!"

He stood up, walked around and looked around, picked up a long straight stick, found a piece of flat land, and stuck the stick in his hand on it.

Under the sunlight, the stick cast a long shadow on the ground, and she inserted a small stick at the top of the shadow.

The shadow moves as the sun moves.

After two incense sticks of time, a small wooden stick was inserted at the top of the new shadow, and both feet were placed on the sticks. The front of the body was north, and the right hand was east.

She tried hard to recall the direction they had come in and decided that they would be better off heading south.

At this time, almost everyone was up and busy cooking.

Nothing happened last night, but everyone is so enthusiastic now, mainly because the sun is out. It's so bright that everyone feels they are not afraid of anything anymore.

After a simple breakfast, everyone packed up their things and looked at Zhou Guo.

Zhou Guo held a stick in his hand and stuck one stick in the road every time he walked a certain distance, as a mark.
