As for more?
More means greater risk, and no one wants that kind of money.
Of course everyone has no objection to such a good thing.
After getting everyone's nod, the old village chief ran to tell Chief Luo.
When he came back, he asked Li to take people to report to the people from the escort agency.
When they returned to the team, Li called the old lady aside with a serious look on his face.
"Mom, I'm a little unsure about something, so I'm here to talk to you."
"What's going on? Isn't the handover with the escort agency going smoothly? Well, we joined temporarily, so we can be considered to have intercepted their business.
But no matter what, this will also relieve their pressure and allow them to be more thoughtful. He can't really give you a bad face, right? "
"Yes, mother. When I went over there just now, that man gave me a subtle look. I sensed something was not right with him. He was extremely reluctant for us to join him.
Just like what you said, it should be a good thing for people from our village to join.
But after I told him that the fifty people who joined us were all armed, his expression became even uglier.
Although I covered it up quickly, I still saw it. Mom, I'm a little worried..."
Wen Bibo's expression also turned serious.
"The people from the escort agency are not very good. It seems that we need to be mentally prepared. You should warn the team members and remind Luo...
That's not right. If we remind Mr. Luo, he'll think we're jealous and trying to show off our abilities by excluding others."
"Yes, mother, people like us who join temporarily are just stealing jobs from the people who worked at the escort agency earlier, and the petty ones will think that the master is looking down on them.
If we go and tell Mr. Luo about the other party, don't even think about it. They're probably going to think we're petty and want more credit."
“So I can’t tell you, and that will only make things difficult for your team.
We have accepted money from others, so we have to do the right thing. Oh, what is this? Instead of taking the right path, they have to do this kind of thing. "
After Li responded, he went to instruct the people in his team and implicitly reminded his teammates that they still had to be wary of others during the years of fleeing famine.
Xiushui brought a bowl of water to the old lady.
"Grandma, drink some water and eat some snacks first. The meal is still a while away. We're going to stew pork tonight."
"That's right. Our family just came out of the city, so we can still eat meat."
As for the envy of others?
In fact, many people still have meat in their hands, but it is hard to say how much they can eat.
"What did Aunt Wu come to see you about just now? You two both looked unhappy."
"Well, what else can it be? It's just..."
After telling this story, Xiushui sneered.
"Grandma, if Aunt Wu is not mistaken, and if her feelings are not wrong, then the other party is most likely planning to rob Mr. Luo. After doing this, maybe he will take his people and flee the famine."
“This, this?”
Wen Bibo also understands human nature very well, but he doesn't like to think badly of people until he reaches that point.
"If you think so, then it's probably true. So what kind of world is this?
In the past, if this kind of escort agency accepted a job, they would definitely not dare to mess around.
During this time of famine, it's not hard to guess what those people are thinking. Do you think Master Luo has also noticed something is amiss?"
"No, when Chief Luo came to see the village chief just now, I saw that he was very enthusiastic about the head of the escort agency and seemed to think highly of him.
Hey, now that you mention it, I also remember that when Chief Nara finished explaining his purpose, the man's expression didn't look very good."
"So, grandma, I think tonight might not be peaceful. Because those villains are holding a grudge, they won't let us have an easy time."
The old lady was frightened again.
"This, this, this is a sin."
The old lady did not dare to be careless at all about her granddaughter's speculation.
Therefore, after thinking it over again and again, he still instructed Li during the meal, saying that there was a high possibility of taking action tonight.
Xiushui was also thinking that those people were from the escort agency. If they started fighting, they were martial artists. Even if they were not masters, they would definitely be more agile than them, a bunch of peasants.
If a fight really breaks out, there will probably be casualties on this side.
The village has just experienced a disaster, and if another wave of people are injured, it will probably be a blow to their confidence.
"Aunt, if you face that group of people, how many of them can you take down?"
"Three isn't a problem, but there are more than ten of them. It would be troublesome for the other villagers to face them."
"So, if all our weapons were coated with a numbing or itchy substance, what would our chances of winning be?"
Li's eyes lit up. She had heard before that some of her nephews and nieces applied something that made it difficult for animals to struggle.
"If these drugs can work quickly, we're unlikely to suffer casualties. After all, we're outnumbered. Even if five or three of us attack one person, how can we be sure no one of them can injure them?
If the drug works quickly, and our people can hold off a little longer, and a few of us surround and attack them and injure them, they will be at our mercy!"
“Okay, I’ll provide you with that medicine, but you have to provide the herbs.
You guys go and cut these kinds of grass for me later, or you can tell the villagers that I want the most poisonous grass.
Or it could be grass that causes itching, or grass and fruit that causes paralysis.
Anyway, they're the most itchy, the most numbing, and the most poisonous. Each time I hand in one, it's considered my usual herb-hunting quest."
"They have to be happy, there are plenty of things on the roadside.
Also, in this forest, I saw some fruit that can cause paralysis.
I'll tell them, and they'll definitely work overtime to get it for you."
Aunt Liu didn't let her go and got up to explain to the villagers.
As Li had guessed, when the villagers heard about the three best grass fruits, they all excitedly ate their food and went to look for them.
In order to facilitate the operation, Xiushui proposed to build a temporary medical center.
