Transmigrated to Famine Year: Supermarket Owner at Five and a Half

Song Tantian transmigrated to ancient times, becoming a five-and-a-half-year-old little sprout. In a chaotic, famine-stricken world, surrounded by danger, she immediately faced the immense change o...

Chapter 211 Deeply Anxious

The opponent's strength was truly astonishing, choking Song Tantan until she was almost suffocating. She rolled her eyes, then kicked the opponent in the groin. Then, before anyone could see where she had drawn her knife, the blade pressed against the head镖师's neck, and she stepped on his chest.

Song Tantan rubbed her throat, coughed a few times, and continued speaking in her shrill voice, "You all better behave yourselves. This inn provides this kind of service. We've already said it's take it or leave it; if you want to stay, pay up. You have to do everything yourself."

"Who gave you permission to lay a hand on me? Open your eyes and see clearly, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Put down your knives, or I'll chop them in half!"

No matter how strong Ren the镖头 was, he was completely immobilized by being stepped on.

Ye Moxun was somewhat surprised by her stamina. The older this girl got, the stronger she seemed to become. The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was tall and strong, weighing at least 90 kilograms, and he was as strong as an ox. He could lift a box that would take two people to lift.

Even Song Tantan could step on him.

Song Tantan: "..." I have already used all my power. If it weren't for the power of space, I wouldn't have been able to use such power to suppress the head镖头.

She was almost choked to death by him just now, so she had to regain her dignity. Besides, there were still more than twenty bodyguards drawing their swords. If she didn't act tough, how could she intimidate so many people?

How do we stun them?

There are plenty of ways to deal with these people. Even tens of thousands of troops can be subdued. Dealing with them is not difficult. There is no need to use poison. Just light some incense and you can take them all down.

Within moments, the twenty-odd bodyguards, having just caught a whiff of a floral scent, suddenly felt their bodies go limp and collapsed to the ground, completely powerless. In that instant, apart from being able to blink and remain conscious, they were unable to move any other part of their bodies.

Seeing the bodyguards' eyes widen in shock, Ye Moxun stepped out from behind the counter and said in a gruff voice, "Don't worry, we're not bad people. We don't want to steal your money or kill you. We're just doing some small business. You'll be back to normal in half an hour. However, you still have a poison implanted in your bodies."

If the antidote isn't obtained within three days, the internal organs will rot and the person will die.

Glancing at the "what kind of look do you want?" expressions on the faces of the bodyguards, Ye Moxun added, "Behave yourselves before you leave the inn, and don't have any wicked thoughts. If we can all get along peacefully, I will give you the antidote myself."

That's it? Were you just kidding them?

They'll definitely try to extort money from you when they get the antidote.

Regardless of what the bodyguards thought, Ye Moxun only planned to leave once the Bai family's guards and maids' injuries had stabilized. Other matters were not his concern.

After settling the bodyguards in, Ye Moxun called the dogs over to keep an eye on them, lest they become enraged and do something rash once the effects of the drug wore off.

The dogs stood guard at the stairwell and in the hallway, with Taishan leading the way. Well, he stayed in the room with Ye Moxun.

Ye Moxun's room was right next to Song Tantan's, and the room had zero soundproofing, so any noise could be heard immediately. Therefore, the three of them lay down and slept peacefully.

Bai Zhiyan and her group were filled with worry and restlessness, unable to concentrate on sleeping. They had all witnessed Ye Moxun and Song Tantan's antics downstairs.

The agreement was that the two of them would pretend to be shopkeepers, welcome the guests in, and if the guests were alright, they would stay overnight as planned. It was just a matter of one night, and it would be over once the guests left the next morning.

So what they did was first thoroughly offend the person, then resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, then administer a drug to knock the person out, and finally send out several wolfhounds to keep an eye on them.

Who could swallow this insult?

"It's almost 3 AM, I should lie down and get some sleep. Once Guard Yang and Huan'er are in stable condition tomorrow, we'll leave this inn. It's too unsafe here." Bai Zhiyan rested her elbows on the table, pinched her forehead, and looked somewhat tired.

Bai Zhiyi slumped her shoulders, deeply agreeing, "You're right, we'd better rest quickly. We're not worried about the troublemakers, why should we worry about anything?" The troublemakers were naturally referring to Ye Moxun and Song Tantan.

The next day, although there was no more torrential rain, it didn't stop either. The rain was torrential, and dark clouds loomed overhead. Anyone with eyes could tell from the sky that the rain probably wouldn't stop that day, and no one knew how long it would last.

So the bodyguards, who were supposed to leave this morning, were forced to stay another night. They really wanted to leave, but the rain was too heavy. They hadn't gotten the antidote and still had to escort goods, so they dared not set off in the rain.

However, in the morning, the Bai family guards and maids went downstairs to the kitchen to cook. They did everything themselves, such as boiling water. It was only after asking that they learned that they were also staying at the inn, but the innkeeper did not take care of anything and only charged for lodging and cooking materials.

Firewood, oil, salt, and vegetables are provided, and accommodation is charged separately, but since guests cook their own meals, it will be cheaper than usual.

This was the wording agreed upon by both sides. When the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) came to ask, that's how the guards answered. Usually, three maids cook, and the three guards don't need to help, but today's situation is special.

The group of bodyguards consisted of more than twenty grown men. Fearing that the three maids might not be safe, Bai Zhiyan had three guards help her.

It was raining heavily outside, and the pitter-patter was very soothing. Song Zhuiyan was already pregnant, so she was even lazier. She lay in bed and didn't want to move. Except for getting up to eat, she basically just lay there like a corpse.

Song Tantan shared a room with her, sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor next to her. She slept soundly, hugging her blanket and snoring softly.

If Ye Moxun hadn't come over and said he wanted to eat, she could have slept for two days and two nights without getting up. When Ye Moxun called her, she would take the things out of the supermarket and hand them to him, still lying down without even opening her eyes.

"Song Tantan, get up! You're so lazy, it's unbelievable. Get up and eat something, it's bad for your stomach." Ye Moxun tried to pull off her blanket, but she clung to it tightly with both hands and feet, refusing to let go.

"What problem could happen if I don't eat for a day? I'm perfectly fine, nothing will happen." She glanced at him sleepily, then tilted her head and tried to go back to sleep.

Even Song Zhuiyan couldn't stand it anymore. Although she also wanted to be lazy, she would still get up to eat during mealtimes, and after eating, she would spin around in her room a few times before going back to sleep. It was wrong for Tantan not to get up for a moment.

After the three finished lunch, Ye Moxun asked Song Tantan for a few wild rabbits, a few chickens, and some sausages, all of which were cooked. It was raining outside today, so the dogs couldn't go out to hunt and needed to be fed.

The dogs were fed in Ye Moxun's room. The dogs were huge, and the inn's rooms weren't very big. With seven dogs crammed in together, the room felt cramped.

Moreover, the fluffy dogs all have some odor, which is especially noticeable in a confined space on rainy days. It's usually fine, but Song Zhuiyan is pregnant and has severe morning sickness. She feels uncomfortable whenever she smells anything, so she doesn't dare let the dogs into her room.

Downstairs, there was a great commotion, with noise rising and falling. For some reason, the bodyguards suddenly became agitated and started demanding to see the shopkeeper.
