Sure enough, this method can resist some human malice, at least preventing them from easily approaching their carriage.
They headed west and came to a town, ready to replenish some food. The dry food they brought from the capital was running out, and there was no news about medicine yet.
After making inquiries from many sources in the town, they finally learned that there was a wealthy businessman in the town who had been frantically storing food half a year ago, before the Gu Man appeared. Even after the Gu Man appeared, the entire family stayed in that quiet house that was like an iron cage, and they had no worries about food and drink.
Xu Qiudong lowered his eyes slightly, and when he looked up again, he had already guessed what was going on.
They had already arrived at the door of the wealthy businessman. Xu Qiudong looked up and motioned Tai Sumeng to knock on the door, and Tai Sumeng obediently went forward and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there?"
After shouting for a long time, no one answered. Finally, Tai Sumeng turned around helplessly and looked at Xu Qiudong.
"what to do?"
Just as they were talking, the sound of horse hooves slowly came from a distance.
For safety reasons, Tai Sumeng pulled the two of them to hide behind the wall and quietly observed the situation here.
I saw a man with a dozen people holding knives coming to the rich businessman's door.
It is obvious that he has bad intentions.
The man exuded a strong bandit-like aura as he spoke, "Where are the people in there? Get out now!"
It's clear from their tone that they don't seem to be good people. If they really come out, they would be really stupid.
Those people were not easy to deal with. Seeing that no one said anything, he ordered his men to set fire to their yard.
Afterwards, the main force left, leaving only two small minions to guard the place.
After their main force had gone far away, Xu Qiudong reached out and pushed Tai Sumeng out, waved at her, and signaled her to go and deal with the two minions.
Tai Sumeng turned around and glared at Xu Qiudong fiercely, saying, "Why did you push me?"
"Go quickly."
Although Tai Sumeng was a little unhappy, she still listened to Xu Qiudong. This was not only because of Zhuo Yuanyu's special instructions before she left, but also because of the friendship she developed with Xu Qiudong.
She really thinks Xu Qiudong is a good person. Although he can be tough at times, he is a person with a soft heart.
When the two minions saw the three of them, their eyes lit up. They had never seen such beautiful people in this remote place.
The two minions looked at the three of them and began to have wild thoughts.
Minion A pointed at Xu Qiudong and said, "This one looks the best, leave it to the boss, and let us try these two first."
As they spoke, the two men rubbed their palms together, looking extremely obscene.
As a result, before he could take two steps forward, he was beaten by Tai Sumeng so badly that his mother didn't even recognize him.
The two minions got up from the ground, stared at Tai Sumeng in fear, and finally ran away.
Within seconds, the door of the airtight compound opened from the inside, and smoke came out of their yard.
One of the fat, big-eared men ran out, shouting, "Help, put out the fire, put out the fire!"
However, this wealthy merchant family has always had a bad reputation. Before the Gu Man, they were thinking about how to cheat the people every day. Now with the Gu Man, they have stored up all the food in the town and stayed at home without going out.
Even if the food stored at home was enough for their family to eat in three lifetimes, they were still unwilling to give up even a little bit.
So the people in the town didn't like their family.
