Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

"Everyone, don't panic. Tell me what happened in detail first!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Dashan was first startled, then delighted.

"Brother Hao, what brings you in!"

"We'll talk about that later. First, tell me about the village being surrounded."

Zhou Dashan thought about it and realized that they were right; they should deal with the immediate problem first.

The group then recounted everything that had happened from yesterday afternoon until now.

"Nobody has ever come to ask you anything!"

Zhou Dashan shook his head. "No, I asked to see their leader yesterday, but they wouldn't let me. They just told us to stay in the village and not to go out."

"What exactly are they trying to do?!"

Zhou Yuhao was also puzzled.

Just reminded:

"Brother, let's hold back for now. I'll go out and think of a solution. If they make any demands later, don't agree to them. Just stall them until we come back. Make sure to keep a close eye on the villagers."

"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

Zhou Yuhao then walked up to Da Bao and told him to stay in the village and ask Zhang Wenbo to take care of him before leaving.

Meanwhile, on the horse-drawn carriage at the village entrance, Yang Laifu lay leisurely eating oranges.

The number one gigolo asked, "Young master, aren't we going in yet?"

"No rush. I need to let them experience the fear of being surrounded by soldiers. I'll talk to them again tomorrow, and they'll cooperate obediently. That's called psychological warfare."

"Young master is truly brilliant!"

The lackeys praised it.

Zhou Yuhao quietly went back, and Zhang Xixi immediately asked, "How did it go?"

Zhou Zixuan also looked at him.

"The villagers are fine. It must have been caused by that person who wanted the vermicelli factory last time. It must be that the new county magistrate wants the factory."

"What should we do? Magistrate Sun has been transferred to the prefectural city, and there's no time to ask him for help!"

"I have a plan. I'll go to the county town!"

"Can you do it alone?"

"Let the children come back with me so as not to delay their studies. You and your mother-in-law can stay in town for now!"

"Fine!"

Zhou Yuhao and his group arrived in town, explained the situation to the Chen family, and then left.

Zhang Xixi then led the Chen family to explain the situation to Manager Li and his group to avoid affecting future business.

"Manager Li, my husband has already gone to think of a solution. Please understand."

"Madam Zhou, it's not that we don't understand, it's just that our buyer's agreed delivery date is approaching, and if we can't deliver on time, we'll have to compensate five times the amount."

It seems they're using special methods!

"Manager Li, how many fans have you ordered in total? I'd like to think of a way to get some from elsewhere."

After hearing Zhang Xixi's words, the group quickly gathered together and talked for a while, finally coming up with a total of 50,000 jin of vermicelli.

Zhang Xixi told them to wait a moment, as the goods would be delivered before midnight tonight.

"Girl, you really have a knack for this!"

"Not at the moment. I'll go ask my master for help to see if we can get the vermicelli out of the village."

Chen fell silent; he had no choice but to make a promise.

This girl has gotten confused again!

But let's still let our daughter try it!

"Go find your master quickly, we'll wait for you here."

Zhang Xixi was really worried as it was getting dark.

"Mother, sister-in-law, why don't you go to town and stay for the night? Second sister-in-law and the others might still be in town, so you can keep them company."

By the way, I was thinking about my second daughter-in-law. I wonder how they are doing.

"Then let's go to the pastry shop. Come find us in a bit."

"it is good!"

Zhang Xixi only went to the deserted village after seeing Chen and Da Wang enter the town.

Only when they could no longer see anyone did they buy a bicycle from the system, ride it away, and leave.

When we were almost at the deserted village, I put the bicycle back into the storage bag.

We climbed over the mountains and forests and arrived directly at the threshing ground.

By this time, the villagers had already gone home to cook dinner. Everyone had a blind confidence in Zhang Xixi and her team, believing that they would be able to handle the matter well.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!

Zhang Xixi looked around and then went straight to the factory.

When Zhang Wenhong arrived at the factory, he had just stepped out.

"Second Brother,"

Upon hearing Zhang Xixi's voice, Zhang Wenhong turned around.

"Little sister!"

"How did you get in!"

"I have my own way. Second brother, I have something to discuss with you. Is Yuping here?"

Zhang Wenhong shook his head. "He went home!"

"Then go find him, and you guys arrange for some people to deliver the fans that Manager Li, Manager Liu, and Manager Chen need to the foot of the mountain behind my house. I'll have my master transport the fans out; those managers are going crazy because they can't get in!"

"Your master really knows how to do things!"

Zhang Xixi said seriously, "Really!"

"Then I'll make the arrangements!"

"Go quickly. Just leave the noodles at the foot of the mountain. No one needs to guard them. I'm going home to find something to eat."

Zhang Xixi said goodbye to Zhang Wenhong and went home.

When Sun Xiuxiu arrived home, she had just finished preparing dinner.

"Boss, you're back!"

Zhang Xixi nodded, then looked at Zhou Fu and asked, "Has anything happened at home?"

"No, the Zhang family has already finished planting their rice, and we've started planting our own rice today."

"Was the village unaffected by the siege?"

"It's alright, Wang Daniu has already calmed them down!"

"That's good, let's eat first!"

After finishing her meal, Zhang Xixi rode Xiao Jin to the foot of the mountain.

The place was already packed with fans, and Zhang Wenhong and his team were still moving more.

After a while, with the help of carts and manpower, 50,000 catties of vermicelli were carried up.

"Okay, you go back first!"

After everyone in the village had left, Zhang Xixi had Xiao Jin look around to make sure no one was there before taking out the storage bag she had bought.

This storage bag is the large size, but I bought it using 100,000 luck points.

Of course, the space inside is also very large, around 10,000 cubic meters.

Zhang Xixi gathered all the fans inside, then rode away on her little golden horse.

They rushed to town overnight, found a place to lay an oilcloth on the ground, and then brought out all the vermicelli.

"Xiao Jin, you guard them!"

Little Gold roared, "Yes, Master!"

Zhang Xixi went to find Manager Li and the others again. They loaded the fans onto the car under the torches and settled the bill.

Then Manager Li and his group left that very night.

Zhang Xixi also found a place to set up a tent and planned to stay there for the night. Going to town now would probably require climbing over a wall.

Zhou Yuhao arrived in the county town and sent the children back to the academy, leaving only Zhou Zixuan to go and find out about the magistrate's background.

Zhou Zixuan inquired with the teachers at the county school, and Zhou Yuhao also inquired with the people at the county government office.

The county magistrate was the same one as before. As soon as Zhou Yuhao went to see him, he told him about the new county magistrate.
