Chapter 94 Collusion with Bandits

She has to stay safe, otherwise her mission will fail and she will lose the reward.

The reward for this mission is extremely generous.

The resettlement site will be rewarded with a set of psychedelic protective equipment. As long as it is activated and used, people who are not from Taohua Village cannot enter the resettlement site of Taohua Village within the territory of Taohua Village.

This set of equipment is priced at three million coins in the mall.

Considering the mall’s stingy nature, this reward is extremely generous.

The key point is that although the price of this device is listed in the mall, you can't buy it whenever you want. It also costs 800,000 points from the agricultural assistance channel.

Bai Tao couldn't help but complain when looking at this series of requirements. What's the difference between this and some brands where you have to match the goods if you want to buy a bag?

The villagers responded obediently: "Auntie, don't worry, we will never take the initiative to cause trouble."

They also know that there are many people on the road right now, and many people cannot avoid being robbed or killed in the middle of the night even if they stick together.

If Taohua Village had not been operating in the name of a caravan and had not had so many people and looked difficult to deal with, they would have suffered greatly.

My aunt didn't raise the price of grain because she wanted Taohua Village to gain a certain degree of favor among the refugees. Even if there were fewer people who would take advantage of the situation when things got bad, Taohua Village would be much safer.

The villagers couldn't think of this at first. Later, Bai Duojin figured it out and told everyone about it, and then everyone suddenly realized it.

Bai Tao was sitting on a sedan chair at this time, with a fire not far away, and the villagers were sitting cross-legged in groups of three or four around her.

After finishing the serious business, the daily storytelling began.

This is the villagers’ favorite thing before going to bed every day. They have never seen much of the world before, and Bai Tao’s stories one after another always allow them to expand their wonderful imaginations about this world.

"…It is said that after Sun Wukong was thrown into the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun, he hid under the "Xun Palace". Xun means wind, and there is no fire when there is wind. Therefore, the monkey was not burned to death. On the 49th day…"

"Auntie, why did Taishang Laojun burn Sun Wukong?"

Before Bai Tao could finish her question, a villager responded, "Think about it, Sun Wukong caused a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and was caught, so we have to deal with him, right?"

"But it was the Heaven that bullied it first. After all, he was a king in the Water Curtain Cave, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. But when he went to heaven, he was made a horse breeder..."

The villagers didn’t think raising horses was a bad thing, as they were still farmers.

But you deceive people by saying you will give them an official position, and then they pack up and go there full of hope, but you make them raise horses. Who wouldn't be angry?

"Then for Sun Wukong, it can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?" A pair of flaming eyes appeared in the alchemy furnace.

Bai Tao supported her chin with her little hands, ate melon seeds and watched the villagers' argument with a smile.

Next to her, Bai Xiaocao was peeling melon seeds obediently.

The walnut kernels that Bai Tao ate yesterday were also smashed little by little by Bai Xiaocao using a small wooden hammer.

"You should eat something too."

Bai Xiaocao shook her head and said with a smile: "Auntie, I ate a lot in the afternoon."

My aunt was always afraid that they would be hungry, so she gave them snacks every now and then, such as peach cakes, melon seeds, peanuts, and glutinous rice sticks.

Every time she would make the excuse that we had done a great deed and received the reward, but we hadn't done anything great. We just saw that I liked flowers, plants, stones and wood, so we would find them wherever we went.

When the villagers had almost finished arguing, Bai Dashan spoke up: "Okay, okay, let's stop discussing this for now. Let's listen to what I have to say."

Bai Tao had already finished talking about One Thousand and One Nights, and started talking about the Four Great Classical Novels these days.

Before going to bed, Bai Dashan gave the usual instructions.

"Auntie, please sleep well. We are here outside. If anything happens, please call us."

There are too many human traffickers on the road. If children are not careful, they will be robbed and sold to pawnbrokers. My aunt is fair and pretty, and she looks lucky. If she is kidnapped by mistake, the whole village will have no place to cry.

Therefore, recently the villagers have been coaxing Bai Tao and trying not to let her show up in front of outsiders, for fear that she would be targeted.

Bai Tao yawned, waved her chubby hands, and said in a baby voice: "I know, I know..."

The refugees were a mixed bunch, and many of them had not had access to water to wash for a long time, so they inevitably had lice on their heads and bodies.

Head lice can spread quickly to a large area once it infects one person.

Fortunately, the people in Taohua Village often apply purple cypress, otherwise everyone around them would have heads full of lice, and Bai Tao would probably be so uncomfortable that she would have goose bumps all over her body.

Therefore, even if the villagers didn't say anything, Bai Tao would not leave the camp unless she was fine.

That night, some people had their belongings stolen from them and they cried and cursed.

Early in the morning.

The people in Taohua Village had breakfast as usual and prepared to break camp and set off.

Today's breakfast was soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and brown sugar rice cake, which Bai Tao bought directly from the mall.

The tents were only half loaded onto the truck when a group of people came over in a menacing manner.

"That's them. They're in league with the bandits."

"Yes, our robbed goods are in their hands."

"They are just pretending to be nice, but in fact the whole caravan is full of bad intentions."

"Colluding with bandits and robbing others of their property..."

"Hand over our stuff!"

"Hand it over..."

The noisy commotion soon attracted a lot of onlookers.

As more and more people gathered around, the group became more and more arrogant, demanding that Taohua Village hand over their belongings and compensate for their losses.

If the people of Taohua Village had not been alert and noticed from afar that this group of people were coming with bad intentions and whistled, more than 20 villagers in the camp would have run out grabbing their weapons. I'm afraid these people would have rushed into the camp long ago.

Once you enter the camp, there are so many people and it’s hard to predict what might happen.

Bai Dashan rushed over after hearing the noise. He changed his usual gentle manner when dealing with people and asked sternly, "You are talking nonsense! You said we robbed your property. Do you have any evidence?"

"You said we were colluding with the bandits. Do you have any evidence?"

Colluding with bandits?
It was clearly them who killed the bandits in Black Wind Village. They were eliminating harm for the people.

Bai Dashan put his hands on his hips and cursed like a shrew: "I was saying that you were colluding with the bandits. People were always robbed along the way. You tipped off the bandits, right?"

"nonsense!"

"Who's talking nonsense?" Bai Dashan shouted back louder than the other party: "If anyone is talking nonsense, you should be the first to do so."

"Do you think that our Baijiabao Caravan is easy to bully? Go out and ask around. Our Baijiabao Caravan has been traveling all over the country for so many years. When has it ever suffered a loss?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Now we are talking about your Baijiabao colluding with bandits to rob people of their property."

"Maybe they are not a caravan, but bandits!"

"Correct!"
