Chapter 217 Staying is just waiting for death

The old patriarch’s two grandsons are still studying in the city. Gu Yunfei is taking care of them in the city. They are fine for the time being. I wonder if they are willing to leave with him?

Grandpa Laoliu used to make a living by hunting, farming, and selling pork.

If they moved to a new place, where they could no longer hunt and had no land to farm, even if they could sell pork as before, they might not be able to afford a shop in the new place.

The Chai family is lucky. Even if they don't farm, they have a teacher at home, so they can learn how to do business slowly.

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Gu Xiaoxi could only make the situation sound even worse.

"Old Patriarch, Sixth Grandpa, Grandpa, there are many soldiers guarding the city gates now, and there are fewer people on the streets during the day.

"Those rich people have all left. If we don't take action, even if we can deal with the bandits, we won't be able to deal with the enemy's army!" she advised earnestly.

After hearing what Xiaoxi said, the old patriarch began to waver.

Once the enemy attacks, it will be almost impossible for them to survive.

So, he said, "Okay, we'll listen to Xiaoxi. Yuntian, Yunju, go to the city tomorrow and call Yunfei back."

Why……

The two brothers nodded in agreement.

Seeing the clan leader agreed, Grandpa Laoliu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll follow. If we stay, we'll just wait to die."

"Then, what should we do with all the food we bought before?" asked the eldest brother of the Chai family.

"I definitely can't take all the food away. I'll take it out to sell it tomorrow morning and leave a small portion for me. Otherwise, there won't be enough carriages." Gu Xiaoxi felt that this was the only arrangement for the time being.

Seeing that Miss Xiaoxi was worried about the carriage, Ying Si immediately spoke up, "Don't worry, Miss. We have three more carriages in the city. My young master said that you can take them away anytime you need them."

"That's great. Now we have seven carriages. Even if we spend the night on the roadside, we don't have to worry about so many people." Gu Xiaoxi was very happy after hearing this.

"Yunfei has another one, seven are enough." The old patriarch counted Gu Yunfei's one as well.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Since it's decided, we'll load up the food tomorrow morning. Ah San, Ah Si, you take two people to sell the food separately, and Qiu Shuang and I will pick up the people we need to pick up."

"I'm going with you too. My brother has a bad temper, so I have to go." Gu Yunju was worried that his brother couldn't speak and would make Xiaoxi angry.

"Yes, your brother has a stubborn temper, so you have to go with him." The old patriarch was also worried about this matter.

That was how it was settled. Everyone went back to pack up their things, taking whatever they could take with them, and taking whatever they couldn't take with them to the market to sell tomorrow.

So, that night, everyone cleaned up until midnight before going to bed.

Just as they were about to rest, there was movement outside.

Because of the sudden move, everyone is in a bad mood. If someone comes to seek death at this time, it is tantamount to seeking death.

Gu Xiaoxi asked everyone to pick up their weapons. She walked to the front yard, opened the gate, and walked out with a stick in her hand.

"If you want to rob, come out. What's the point of sneaking around? If you have the guts, come out and fight me!" She shouted loudly.

The bandits who came to explore the way yesterday came out of the jungle, holding big knives in their hands, and sneered when they saw Gu Xiaoxi in front of them.

"I can't believe Yan Lao Si actually lost to a woman!"

"Haha, you're such a wimp!"

The two of them came out of the woods singing in unison.

Seeing that the two men came with ill intentions, Gu Xiaoxi shouted, "Ah San, Ah Si, look how many of them are here?

If you don't leave me one hundred taels of silver today, I will cut off their hands and feet!"

"Yes!" Two powerful voices rang out.

Then, the two men came out of the yard and walked around separately.

The two people who were talking just now became a little worried when they saw how confident this woman was.

However, with so many subordinates watching, they, as the head and second in command of the village, naturally could not be cowardly.

Moreover, they came to rob this family not for how much money they could get, but to prove that they were better than Yan Lao Si.

To put it bluntly, they came here just to save face. If they fail, Yan Laosi will look down on them even more in the future.

whoosh!

Gu Xiaoxi threw out two silver coins, knocking the weapons out of the hands of the two bosses, and then rushed forward with a stick.

The two bosses were distracted and didn't expect that this woman could use hidden weapons. Seeing the other party swinging the stick, they could only meet it with their bare hands.

At this time, Gu An walked out of the yard. He was worried that Xiaoxi had been busy all day and was not physically strong enough, so he stepped forward to stop one of the bosses.

Gu Xiaoxi was now filled with rage, and she wanted to vent her anger by beating someone. Now that something was delivered to her doorstep, she didn't want her uncle's help at all.

"Uncle, you go and rest, I'll take care of it." She shouted.

When Gu An heard Xiaoxi say this, he retreated.

Gu Xiaoxi used these two guys to cool down his anger and exerted all his strength.

However, these two guys were really embarrassing. In less than two rounds, they were smashed hard against the tree by Gu Xiaoxi. They were no match for Yan Laosi.

"Girl, there are more than twenty of them." Ying San and the others also came back.

"Tie them up and ask their men to pay silver for their ransom. It will take an hour at most. You won't see any hands or feet chopped off in an hour. They have done a lot of bad things anyway. It would be too easy for them to die like this." Gu Xiaoxi said coldly, and stepped forward to pick up the flying silver needle. She didn't want to waste these good things.

Shadow Three and Shadow Four took the hemp rope and tied up the two leaders.

When the bandits saw that their leader and second-in-command were tied up, some of them were so scared that they ran away.

When the boss saw that the other party only wanted silver, he felt relieved and immediately called his younger brother to get the silver.

The boy who was sent to get the silver came out from the bushes stealthily, struggling inside.

If the eldest brother and the second in command are both dead, that hill will be his.

However, he was a rookie in leg skills and was worried that he could not hold his own.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to go back and get money to redeem the person.

In this way, when dawn was about to break, Gu Xiaoxi easily earned one hundred taels of silver.

Seeing this, Ying San jokingly said, "Girl, why don't we stay here? There are so many idiots rushing to give you money. You will be rich in a few months."

Hahaha……

Gu Xiaoxi was immediately amused after hearing this. This is a business with no capital investment, and it can really be done!

However, there are still elderly people and children here, and you never know when a powerful person will appear. If she gets injured, others might be in danger.

"Asan, don't come up with this stupid idea. It's okay for one or two days occasionally, but if someone comes every day, no one can handle it." Gu An couldn't help but said with a smile.

That’s right!

With so many people coming here every day, I can’t sleep during the day and I can’t sleep at night. It’s enough to drive me crazy.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her uncle and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, uncle, do you want to go see how that girl is doing now?"
