Chapter 82: Too much imagination
In fact, Lu Xiaohao was not pretending, he was indeed weak.
The two men recovered a little after half a month of rest in the cave, but they fell ill again not long after they set out on the journey.
Yang Song knew some Kung Fu, but he couldn't stand being hungry and injured. In addition, he had to take care of the weak Lu Xiaohao, and the two of them had to avoid the people who were chasing them. You can imagine their situation.
When the two men limped out of the valley and saw the source of the smell of blood, they looked puzzled.
Not knowing if there was anyone in the dark, the two of them passed the bloody place with terrified looks.
After they were quite far away, Yang Song finally spoke: "Looking at the wounds on the body, they must have been caused by a crossbow arrow."
Lu Xiaohao nodded, frowning slightly: "I don't know which side they are from."
Yang Song: "All the arrows on the corpse have been taken away, so it's really hard to tell for a moment." He was really cautious enough.
However, judging from the traces at the scene, a convoy had passed by before them, but the wheel marks were a pattern he had never seen before, so he was afraid that they were deliberately disguised.
Lu Xiaohao sneered: "The situation is getting more and more chaotic."
Let it be chaotic, the better, he will be safe if it is chaotic.
The two men could never have imagined that the reason there was not a single crossbow arrow on the corpse was that the people of Taohua Village felt that they should not be wasted and could still be used anyway, so they pulled them out, cleaned them and put them away.
As for the wheel marks on the ground, the wagon is a product of the technological world.
Even if it was an imitation of an antique, they would not use wooden wheels but rubber wheels, so there would be wheel marks that Yang Song had never seen before.
Taohua Village originally had eighty-three horses, and eighteen more were seized this time. Together with the horses used to hitch the carriages, there are now a total of one hundred and six horses.
More than 200 people, 105 horses, 20 wagons, and several carts and carriages...
The villagers looked around and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they can be considered to have saved up some family property, right? !
I guess only people in my village have the ability to save their property while fleeing.
The villagers couldn't help feeling proud and happy at the same time. There was nothing they could do about it, because our village had such a powerful lady.
While fighting with the bandits from Black Wind Village, Bai Tao also heard shouting from the opposite side, which gave her a plan in mind.
When they set up camp in the evening, she called Bai Dashan.
"You discuss with everyone and see if we can give our village a name to travel with, either as a caravan or as an escort agency."
When you go out, your personality is given by yourself.
Compared with ordinary people, caravans and escort agencies are naturally more feared.
No one knows what Taohua Village was doing before. There are so many people here, and they have horses and carts. If there is a chance to sell some goods on the road, they can also find out some information.
Bai Dashan responded, turned around and said to the villagers: "My aunt said that when we go out, we must have an identity, otherwise we will be easily bullied."
"Well, why don't we pretend to be a caravan of merchants?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a villager responded, "Village Chief, I think the escort agency is very good."
Old Blackhead was about to sharpen his hunting knife, but after hearing this, he said, "There are so many people in our village, we can do both the caravan and the escort agency at the same time."
When the others heard this, they all nodded. It was not impossible. The caravans would hire escort agencies to escort the goods.
"So if we meet someone who wants to escort us, should we accept the job?"
The people in Taohua Village have been dealing with fields all their lives and didn’t know these things, but Bai Tao knew.
During the journey, she said a lot of random things when she rested, and the villagers saw it all and kept it in mind.
"Take it!" Bai Dashan said without thinking, "Now we don't have any land to plant. We have nothing. It would be great if we could make some money."
You can't always rely on me for everything.
In this way, the caravan and escort agency that later became famous all over the world were hastily established. The caravan was fine, as it only needed to go to the government to file a document and obtain a road permit, but the escort agency had much more complicated procedures.
But the situation is chaotic right now, and no one will come to check Taohua Village's credentials. We can just start working for the time being, and then register with the relevant government office after we are settled.
After knowing the villagers' decision, Bai Tao rummaged through the mall and bought a flag: "Here, this is the flag of our village escort agency."
"Auntie, what does the pattern on this flag mean?"
Bai Tao said casually: "This is a sickle and wheat ears, symbolizing that as long as you work hard, you will gain harvest and success."
The villagers' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all said, "Grandma, you are so amazing."
"Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely work hard."
"We will definitely not let you down!"
Bai Tao: “…Uh.” She just picked up a flag, but everyone was so excited. People who didn’t know would think she gave something good.
After dinner, Bai Tao finally heard the "beep" sound she wanted to hear.
'Beep, complete 500 hours of survival without casualties, reward: an excavator, 300 kilograms of grain seeds, 20 kilograms of vegetable seeds, kill 42 enemies, and get four chances to draw a lottery.'
'Do you want to draw a prize?'
There were seven heads left last time, and this time there are two more, so there are only nine, which is not enough to make up one.
Bai Tao was not very interested: "No. I will save up first and then smoke when I have enough."
I don’t know what I will encounter next, so I’ll just keep it for now.
Therefore, the mall that was originally ready to pop up the lottery button had to quietly put it away.
Bai Tao found this reward difficult to describe. Not to mention the vegetable and grain seeds, the excavator was expensive, but she couldn't use it now.
Last time she only learned how to drive a bulldozer, and now if she wants to drive an excavator she has to spend money to learn more.
After some checking, I found that the tuition for an excavator is 50,000 coins, which is cheaper than that for a bulldozer.
'Do you want to purchase and learn excavator skills?'
'Not yet.' She doesn't need the excavator for anything now, so why should she learn it so early?
Mall: “…”
He's clearly made a lot of money from selling wood, so why is he becoming more stingy?
Bai Tao had no idea that the mall was secretly criticizing her for being stingy, but even if she knew she wouldn't care.
What's wrong with being stingy? This is called saving money and increasing revenue.
As the old saying goes, if you eat well you won’t be poor if you wear well, but if you don’t plan well you will be poor.
She is not the only one who can feed the whole family. She has to feed more than 200 people in the village.
Before closing the mall page, Bai Tao took a glance and saw that the next survival mission was 620 hours, with random rewards.
There were no special mission requirements, which made Bai Tao feel a little relieved.
After passing the valley where the Black Wind Village was located, Taohua Village encountered other fleeing teams one after another in the next two days.
Since they were taking the official road, the people of Taohua Village were prepared to meet outsiders.
But when they saw the situation of these people, they were shocked, moved and fortunate at the same time.
Thanks to my aunt, otherwise we wouldn’t know what the situation would be like now.
My eyes are not feeling well today, so I am updating a little slowly. I apologize to all the cute people who have been waiting for me~
