Chapter 79 Is it ever going to end?
Heifengzhai started making preparations before dawn.

But they waited and waited, and after more than an hour there was no sign of anyone from Taohua Village. They couldn't help but wonder, it's only a little over two miles away, why haven't they come yet?

It was almost noon and the people in Black Wind Village were getting increasingly restless. Where were the people?

Why is there no one here? Could he have run away?
At this time, the person who was following him ran back and reported breathlessly: "Boss, Boss, it's bad, they, they won't leave."

"what?"

"Not leaving?"

After hearing what the stalker said, the people in Black Wind Village were stunned for a moment, and then became furious.

"Are they a caravan? How can there be such a lazy caravan?"

"It's not windy and it's not raining, but they just say they won't leave. What serious caravan would do that?"

The traps have been set, and you just want to not come?
The leader of the Black Wind Village started to think about conspiracy again. He glanced at the people present, wondering if someone had tipped off the person.

"Boss, I don't know either." The person who was following them was also speechless.

How could he know that these people not only had breakfast but also did not pack up and set off, but also drove the eight or nine-year-old children to run from one end to the other.

That was not all. Some children were also forced to fight each other with sticks, jumping from one side of the road to the other with their heads held in their hands, while the group of adults watched and cheered on the side.

It's obvious at first glance that this isn't a legitimate caravan. They're probably using the name of a caravan to do something shameful.

The big boss was furious and thought about it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that they heard some rumors and noticed something?"

"No way? We only moved to this hill recently." If they hadn't lost some brothers when they encountered the Hu people last time, they wouldn't have hidden here.

"Boss, why don't we just charge forward?" someone suggested, waving a knife in his hand.

Hearing this, the boss cursed, "Fuck you, can you use some brains? We are just a handful of people, and there are more than 200 people over there. Do you think the guards in the caravan are just for show?"

Didn’t you hear how the guards in this caravan pushed the huge rock on the side of the road more than ten feet away without getting angry or blushing?

The tree trunk as thick as a thigh beside the official road was pulled out just like that.

It is precisely because of this level of military strength that the people of Black Wind Village are absolutely certain that this caravan is extremely wealthy.

But it is impossible to give up. When you work in this field, you have to rely on your head to control your waist. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God.

"That, that..."

The boss said: "Don't worry, we need to wait and see. Keep a close eye on them first, in case they leave in the afternoon."

The purpose of business is to make money, and the caravans are not stupid. The longer they spend on the road, the more food and grass they consume. Only by shortening the time can they get greater profits.

Therefore, the caravan will not be delayed for too long.

It's night time.

On this day, the people in Black Wind Village who were responsible for keeping an eye on Taohua Village were so jealous that they started crying.

Wow, I had mutton for breakfast, and I don’t know what I had for lunch. The smell came with the wind, so fragrant and spicy, it made me so hungry.

When it came time for dinner, the aroma of the food was extremely tempting. Although I didn’t know what dishes were there, there was definitely braised pork.

That’s not all. The people who were on guard at night were actually wearing big cotton-padded jackets, grilling meat and drinking ginger and bone soup, which was so comfortable that it made people jealous.

The next morning.

Just when everyone in Taohua Village thought they had to hurry on, Bai Tao shook her head and said, "The wind is not good today. I calculated with my fingers and it's not suitable for travel."

When the villagers heard this, they agreed without hesitation.

If my aunt says it’s not suitable to travel, then it definitely is not suitable to travel.

The villagers did what they were supposed to do as usual.

The villagers had no doubt at all about Bai Tao's calculations based on counting with his fingers.

Then, the people from Black Wind Village waited and waited but no one from Taohua Village came into their trap, so they went crazy. "Why aren't they moving?"

"Why don't you move?"

"What's the point of staying in this remote place?"

"What bastard boss hired this caravan to do this?"

"..."

This is too bullying. We are waiting here while they are eating and drinking there.

If they hadn't seen that there were several strong men in Taohua Village, Heifeng Village wouldn't have guarded the trap and waited for them to come over.

The boss slammed the table in anger and said, "I don't believe they can stay here for long."

"Everyone, pay attention and keep an eye on them. They will definitely try to slip away when we're not paying attention..."

"Yes, the boss."

For the next two days, the people of Taohua Village still did not set off.

Not only did they not set out on the journey, but on the fourth day they even started cutting down wood on both sides of the official road.

"Cut down a tree?"

“Why cut down the tree?”

"Are they done yet?!"

"What's wrong with the big trees on the roadside?"

"No, there's something wrong with this caravan. They don't do their job and just pick on rocks and trees."

"This hilltop is now occupied by our Black Wind Village. They are openly taking advantage of our Black Wind Village!"

The people in Black Wind Village had no idea that the reason why the people in Taohua Village were cutting trees instead of traveling these two days was because there happened to be people from another world looking to buy wood in the mall.

In ancient times, there were naturally many more pieces of wood with a diameter of 30 cm than there are today, and felling trees in ancient times was not as troublesome as it is in later times.

It's not that there were no procedures for logging in ancient times, but this is a remote area and there won't be anyone coming to fine them, so as soon as Bai Tao gave the order, the villagers started working without saying a word.

In two days, the villagers cut down 236 logs, which was 36 more than the order required.

Five hundred and seventy-two coins per stick, two hundred were sold, and the rest were stored in the warehouse.

The people who were stalking from Black Wind Village were far away and their focus was not on the pile of wood. In addition, Bai Tao had confirmed that the wood was to be sold in the middle of the night, so it was even more difficult for them to find it.

Who could have imagined that the people of Taohua Village, after chopping wood for two days, would suddenly break camp and set off in the middle of the night without any warning.

The people in charge of surveillance in Heifeng Village kept watching for five consecutive days.

From being eager to try at the beginning, to being nervous on the second day, to starting to go crazy on the third day, I even thought, "Let's see how long you can last."

Two to four in the morning is the time when people are most tired and sleep the deepest, and the person who was following them accidentally closed his eyes.

When they woke up, they subconsciously glanced at the Taohua Village camp, thinking that they would see the same irritating and enviable scene they had seen before.

But the next second, the person who was following him rubbed his eyes, widened his eyes, and looked shocked.

What about people?

Why are they all gone?

The tents, horses, carts, and people in the camp were gone.

If they hadn't vaguely seen a few used fires, they would have thought they were staring at the wrong place.

The person who was following them felt a chill in his heart, but he ran forward without giving up. Only a few wet fires were left in the caravan's camp.

　See you tomorrow, my little cuties~~~
