Chapter 83: Can smash two big heads

In the past, men, women, young and old in Taohua Village were all pale, thin, covered in dust and looked malnourished.

However, after being provided with delicious food and drinks by Bai Tao during this period, their complexions have improved a lot, and some villagers even look whiter and fatter.

When many of the refugees saw the Taohua Village convoy appear, there was envy, yearning, fear and ill intention in their eyes.

However, because there were so many people in Taohua Village and the weapons they carried were exposed, they did not dare to take any action and just followed behind the convoy.

Since the beginning of meeting outsiders, everyone in Taohua Village has been extremely cautious, and the adults in each household have repeatedly reminded their children.

"Keep your mouth shut. This concerns my aunt. Don't mention it to anyone else."

"You are not allowed to take food out of your bag in front of outsiders."

"You can't leave the team. If you want to do anything, you must tell the adults at home or in the village..." In such a situation, if a child gets lost, it will be very dangerous.

Under the stern warnings and beatings from their families, the children in the village were extremely cooperative and did not run or walk around randomly.

During the rest time, Bai Xiaocao would wander around Bai Tao with his brother, and would only feel at ease when he was close to her.

Everyone is traveling on the official road and cannot avoid interacting with people.

Soon, Bai Dashan got some information from the villagers who went out to inquire about the news, and came to report to Bai Tao without saying a word.

"Auntie, we'll reach Niuluo County in about seventy miles..."

Niuluo County is not a big county, but it has a good geographical location and is not far from the official road. Merchants traveling from the north and south will pass through here, so it is relatively prosperous and lively.

"Auntie, shall we take a rest in Niuluo County tomorrow?"

It's okay for them, it doesn't matter where they sleep, but it's different for my aunt. She has suffered a lot these days.

Bai Tao pondered for a moment and said, "We'll see what happens when the time comes."

She was not as optimistic as Bai Dashan and others. Niuluo County was not a big county, so the garrison must be small.

The Hu people might have visited here while hunting, or maybe...

When the sun was setting, Taohua Village stopped and began to set up camp, and the people following their caravan were stunned when they saw this.

Soon, some people also stopped and found a place to rest not far from Taohua Village and began to pick up firewood for the night, while others hesitated for a moment and then hurried away.

It's still early, if we hurry a little further, we can reach Niuluo County earlier tomorrow. If we are lucky, we can come across the government distributing rice porridge or something, and we can save ourselves a meal.

Since there were outsiders present, the people of Taohua Village did not light any fires or cook anything. Instead, they ate the noodles that Bai Duoxi and his people had prepared in advance in a very low-key manner.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Bai Tao looked at the villagers. No one, young or old, had any objection to eating the noodles. Everyone ate quietly, and occasionally talked in low voices.

What a group of good juniors with stable emotions.

After sighing, Bai Tao opened her mouth and took a bite of the pancake. The next second, her little face twitched.

She didn't believe it and continued to push hard.

I bit, I bit again, I bit again... After biting and grinding for several times, I finally managed to bite off a little bit of the edge. Bai Tao was speechless.

Is this pancake afraid of being eaten? It’s made so hard.

If you use it to hit someone, it will probably give them two big bumps on the head.

Taking down the bread with her faint teeth marks on it, Bai Tao was about to call Bai Duoxi over when she saw him coming over carefully carrying a food basket.

"Auntie." Bai Duoxi opened the food basket and said, "This is eggplant and minced meat rice. I fried two eggs for you. Auntie, is there anything else you want to eat?"

At this moment, he saw Bai Tao holding a dough cake with shallow teeth marks on it, and was immediately surprised: "Auntie, why are you eating this?"

After saying that, Bai Duoxi quickly explained: "Auntie, I made this cake hard so that it can be stored easily. You have tender teeth, so you will definitely not be able to bite it."

Even for him, it was very difficult to eat the pancake, but the more effort he put in, the slower he ate and the less likely he felt hungry.

Bai Tao Nai rolled her eyes and said, "…Why did you give it to me when you knew I couldn't bite it?"

"Uh..." Bai Duoxi glanced at Bai Tao timidly and whispered, "Auntie, isn't this what you wanted?"

He had already told her to prepare food for her, but she insisted on eating the same as everyone else.

Although Bai Duoxi hurriedly prepared the meal and brought it over, she was still a step late.

"Auntie, are your teeth okay? Are they okay?"

Bai Tao said fiercely: "Humph!"

Can she say that her teeth are about to become sore?
Although she didn't say it, Bai Duoxi knew it when she saw Bai Tao's expression, and she apologized hurriedly: "It's my fault, aunt, I should have..."

"Forget it, forget it, you go and eat too." Bai Tao waved her little hand as if she was shooing away a fly.

"By the way, remember to cook two eggs for each of the children and the elderly in the village." It doesn't matter if the food is a little coarse in order not to be conspicuous, but nutrition is still essential.

After the mall gave Bai Tao the prescription for the epidemic, she became extremely worried. If the children and elderly people in the village lacked nutrition and their resistance was poor, it would be troublesome.

Bai Duoxi wanted to say something, but Bai Tao had already started eating, so he had to agree obediently.

Soon, the eggs were distributed. When the villagers found out, they were very touched. They thought that the aunt was really caring about them.

That night.

A big bonfire was lit in the camp at Taohua Village, and the people on night watch were on high alert. If they spotted anyone approaching, they would draw their machetes without saying a word.

No one dared to take it lightly. Even though the team following Taohua Village was scattered, there were still quite a few people when they added up.

If Taohua Village were considered easy to bully, then these people would rush forward together and Taohua Village would definitely suffer a great loss.

Fortunately, after the villagers "accidentally" revealed their crossbows and knives during the day, the number of malicious eyes staring at Taohua Village soon decreased.

Even if they didn't give up, they couldn't do anything under the strict defense of Taohua Village with rotating guards.

As soon as the sun rose, the people of Taohua Village quickly packed up and set off.

When the others saw this, they quickly packed up and followed.

If you are unfamiliar with the place and want to be safe, it is best to follow a large caravan.

There were post stations along the official roads, which provided places for people delivering official documents and military intelligence or for officials to eat, sleep and change horses.

There are often two or three inns and food shops next to the post station, which are convenient for ordinary people and caravans to travel, eat and stay.

It was horrifying to see the post station in Niuluo County burned down and several nearby inns also in ruins.

Bai Tao took one look and immediately ordered to turn around: "No need to go to Niuluo County, let's go around it and go straight."

Bai Dashan: "Auntie, can I ask someone to find out?" Knowing the news from the front will help us not be completely in the dark.

Bai Tao nodded and instructed: "Okay, but tell them to be cautious."

　It's even later. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long~
