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

Zhou Guo touched his chin and said, "Wouldn't it be more mysterious if it was covered like this? What if others thought there were gold, silver, and jewelry hidden underneath? They would kill people and rob people, and it would definitely attract the attention of robbers. It would be even more troublesome if it attracted the attention of stragglers."

Yes, it’s not good if it’s too mysterious. Everyone would want to uncover it and see what’s hidden underneath.

The uncle and nephew fell into deep thought for a moment.

Li came up to them while they were whispering, and said, "Then don't cover it, we'll just walk away openly. There aren't many people who know this thing, and they just snatched it and opened it, and when they saw it was something they didn't recognize, they didn't bother to take it away."

Zhou Guo was silent. Yes, she had forgotten. The working people didn’t know this thing. No one in their village knew it. It seemed that there was no need to worry.

Zhou Dacang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine. For safety reasons, we should keep the elderly and children on the cart inside, and the young and strong team will walk outside with weapons in their hands."

Zhou Guo nodded and raised the hoe in his hand.

Seeing how worried they were, the village head smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. You should know that we are different from before. We have Mr. Zhao in our team. Guo girl, we have your master, the Bodhisattva, guarding us. You see, those people in the neighboring county are all old people, children, and women, with only a few young and strong people. But he was able to lead them all the way here safely, and no one died on the road. He is much better than us."

They've been killing people along the way.

Zhou Guo said: "No matter how powerful my master is, he is only one person."

The head of the village waved his hand and said confidently: "Anyway, we are different from before. We were able to protect our things back then. It doesn't make sense that we can't protect them now."

Zhou Dacang nodded.

Zhou Guo turned around and looked at the group of people behind him. Because they had hope, everyone had a smile on their face and looked full of energy, as if they had just returned from a bountiful harvest. They were no longer the weathered look that had been worn down by the disaster.

If some people come out now to snatch away these hopes, she feels that the combat effectiveness of these 300 people will definitely rise to a new level. Moreover, after experiencing so many fierce battles before, everyone here is no longer the same as when they just left the village.

Even her youngest brother Zhou Suli, if he encountered someone coming to steal things at this time, he would pick up the big knife and chop him up without batting an eyelid.

Thinking of this, she felt more relieved. The team was already in the best formation at this time. The front and back were filled with the most capable young and strong men, and the old, young and women were in the middle to protect things. There was no need for any further adjustments.

When it was getting dark, she finally led the group out of the valley and back to the fork in the road leading into the mountain.

The village head looked at the fork in the road and laughed happily, "This is the intersection, this is the intersection. At that time, I saw that this intersection was larger and more crowded, so I chose this one. Who knew that once I walked in, I couldn't get out!"

Everyone seemed to feel relieved as if they had survived a disaster. "It's all thanks to Zhou Guo, otherwise so many of us would have died in there. Who would have thought that such a long road would be so difficult to get in. Let's go quickly. I don't want to stay in this damn place anymore."

When he said this, others disagreed, "What do you mean by a ghost place? This is a great place. If it were you, we should thank the head of the village. If it weren't for him, where would we find such a good thing? Wouldn't we have missed it in vain? I will never be able to sleep well in my life."

Everyone laughed. "You are bragging. You didn't know about this thing until you went in. How can you not sleep?"

Everyone was joking and joking, and the group continued walking along the road to the east.

We didn't meet many refugees along the way.

The few people who saw the cart loaded with so many bags of grain were so stunned that they couldn't move their eyes away for a long time. Look at the bags, they are bulging, they must be grain, but where did so many come from?

I wanted to get my hands on some but it was just a thought in my mind. Look at those people, there were young and strong men in front and behind, with weapons in their hands, all of them had a stern face, and their eyes swept over them, as if they would come up to rob them if they were not satisfied.

If you didn’t know, you would think they were a group of bandits.

Once we were on the right road, there was no need for Zhou Guo to lead the way.

But everyone felt that the village head could easily lead them astray, and since this girl was always lucky and could always bring them different gains, they insisted that she continue to lead the way. At least they didn't have to worry about encountering a dead end again.

The head of the village also insisted that she continue to lead the way, as there was not much food left on the cart and they couldn't let her do this again.

Zhou Guo had no choice but to continue doing this job.

So what the refugees along the way saw was a huge team of about three hundred people, and the one leading the team in front was actually a little kid with his hair cut in strange shapes. Judging from his hair, he might be a little monk.

The little monk is good. He serves the Bodhisattva and has merits. He will definitely be blessed by the Bodhisattva. At least he is much better than ordinary people like them. They believe that following this little monk will definitely bring them blessings, so they follow him unconsciously.

When it was completely dark and the team stopped to find a place to rest and cook, they discovered the refugees following behind them.

This discovery was incredible. Everyone instantly became nervous. Thinking of the tragic experiences of the previous times, their hair stood on end.

Zhou Guo realized something was not right, so she ran to the back to take a look. After watching for a while, she saw that the refugees were scattered in groups, behaving normally. There was no suspicious person. They were cooking, and the refugees would sometimes glance over at them. She thought it was normal.

The most important thing was that she didn't sense any danger from this group of people.

Mr. Zhao also said, "It's okay. These people don't have any hostility in their eyes. Their steps are weak and their eyes are blue. Even if they have the will, they don't have the strength. There aren't many of them, so they can't make a difference."

When Zhou Guo thought about these people, he realized that they were indeed walking slowly, just like the people who were carrying heavy objects on the road.

If that's the case, just send someone to keep an eye on it, and don't worry too much.

She found the village head, and the village head was relieved. "Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on it. I'll let you know if there's any situation."

Zhou Guo nodded. Since he had nothing to do now, he went to learn Kung Fu from his master.

The two masters and apprentices deliberately chose a spacious place.

Seeing this, the children in the team crowded forward, even Zhou Dacang came over. They thought they could not miss such a good opportunity. The adults who had nothing to do also came over to watch the fun.

Everyone wanted to see how Mr. Zhao taught Kung Fu, but they had only seen his Qinggong and nothing else.

Everyone is looking forward to it.
