Chapter 727 The old man also followed
There is no good tea here, and even the best wine we can find is the Lihuabai from Baoyue Tower.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that they can actually transport this batch of goods to the capital.
When Qian Duo heard that he could make money in this way, he said happily: "Don't worry, we will definitely ship this batch of goods to the capital. There is not much else in the village, but there are many people from various places, and many of them have been to the capital."
Everyone swore that the goods would be good and the people would be fine, but if the goods were shameful, the people would die.
Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "What's the use of goods? As long as we have people, the most important thing in our team is people! As long as we have people, everything else is there. If the goods are gone, they are gone. If you really run into trouble on the road, just leave the goods behind and run for your lives.
If you want to sacrifice any of you for such a small amount of goods, you are a fool. You must be smart when you go out. As many people as you go, as many people as you return. Don't leave anyone behind! Do you hear me? !"
"I heard it!" Everyone said it loudly in unison, they were so moved that they would even risk their lives for the boss!
The mushrooms picked from the farm are no longer sold but spread out to dry. Ten days later, this year's batch of dried goods is finally loaded onto the truck.
During this period, Zhou Guo also took them north to buy a lot of skins, such as wolf skins, rabbit skins, and fox skins. Hundreds of them were loaded onto ox carts and covered with thick cowhide cloth so that they would not have to worry about being damaged by wind and rain.
In addition to the trucks, there are also grain trucks. There are more than 50 people on the road who need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. They can't just starve to death.
There were nearly twenty cars packed full.
The group of people who followed to transport the goods were all the best fighters in the village. The leader was Qian Duo, who had the highest martial arts value. Zhou Guo was still very relieved.
Early in the morning, everyone had a big meal and then set off.
The old man said, "Why don't I just follow them? These people have never escorted a caravan before, and they can't read. They won't go the wrong way, right?"
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "No need, Master. It's too far. You should just stay home and relax. Besides, you drew a map for them. I've prepared for the worst. These people need to practice. Otherwise, they will just stay in the farm and eat for free."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "No, I still have to go with them."
"Ah?" Before everyone could react, the old man turned and went into the house.
After a while, the old man came out with a bag on his back, said "I'll follow you", and left in a hurry.
If you look carefully, you will see that he was hopping as he walked, without even turning his head.
Zhou Guo: “…”
Zhou family: "..."
How is this going?
The family members looked at the old man walking away and then turned to look at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Master, Master."
It would have been better if she hadn't shouted, because after she shouted, the old man walked even faster!
Zhou Guo: "...I say, do you want to lead a horse and go?!!"
She watched the old man stop in his tracks, turn around and look at her. "That's fine, having a horse would be nice too."
Zhou Guo: “…”
Wu Ya led the horse out, and Zhou Guo handed it to him. He couldn't help asking, "Are you so happy to go out on a escort mission? You were afraid that I would stop you, so you ran faster than anyone else!"
The old man glared, "No way, I'm doing this for your own good. They've never been on a escort mission before. It's inevitable that they'll run into problems on the long journey. Do they know how to deal with them? I've been an escort mission my whole life, I can handle any problem, big or small."
Zhou Guo was very skeptical. "Really? Aren't those who can handle these problems all good people?"
The old man stopped talking, took the horse and left.
Zhou Guo was worried and said, "Master, you have to come back. Don't get lost. Your disciple is still here, and your home is still here!"
I’m afraid he’ll never come back.
The old man waved.
Zhou Guo sighed. He had been doing this for his whole life and he really loved this job!
Li said worriedly, "Will this work? The old man is so old, why don't you keep him? The world outside is not peaceful, isn't it said that there are wars everywhere?"
Zhou Guo said: "This road is fine for now. The Third Master came here from this road."
Zhou Gu said, "Second Aunt, look at how happy the old man is. He won't come back even if you call him back."
Li smiled and said, "He has done this job for his whole life and has rested for so many years, so of course he wants to go. He stays in the village all day long, and he must be tired of it. It would be good for him to go out for a walk, and he would be more energetic."
The Zhou family watched them walk away.
Zhou Guo was only sad for a moment and didn't have time to think about it anymore. After explaining what happened in the mountains, he remembered that he hadn't visited the Zhao family in so many days since he came back, and he didn't know whether Zhou Xing was living well.
But she couldn't just go there without a reason. After thinking it over, she still owed the Zhao family several hundred stones of fertilizer, so she had someone load a car and took the fertilizer to the Zhao family.
When the Zhao family heard that she had come in person with Fei, the whole family came out to greet her.
They all saw how capable Zhou Guo was, so naturally they had to support such a relative.
Zhou Guo jumped out of the car and first looked at Zhou Xing. Seeing her rosy complexion and smiling face, he felt relieved. She was plain-faced when she was at home, but now that she is married to the Zhao family, she has a little maid to help her dress up every day, and what she wears, wears, and puts on makeup is all different.
She really looks like the daughter-in-law of a landlord. She is so pretty.
Old Master Zhao laughed and said, "Didn't you say you were out? When did you come back?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said that he had been back for a few days, and then apologized to Zhao Yang, "Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry. I left before you came back. It's my fault."
Zhao Yang hurriedly said, "If you have something important to do, go and do it. It's not a big deal that we can't meet at any time."
Zhou Guo said, "How can returning home not be a big deal? I've been so busy these days that I wanted to come and apologize a long time ago. I only found time today and I'm here to bring you the remaining fertilizer. I'm really sorry, this fertilizer has just come out."
The old man said, "I know that your stuff will take more than a month to ferment, and it takes time. I also know that many people come to buy fertilizer, so I told you a long time ago that you can take over. We also have a lot of fertilizer that can be used first."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "That's good. I was afraid I would delay your work."
The old lady said, "Don't stand here, let's go inside and talk."
The four elders talked to her for more than half an hour and asked her many questions about her trip away. Zhou Guo shared some of her experiences.
Madam Zhao said sincerely, "You are really amazing. You dare to go out so far alone at such a young age, and even dare to sleep outdoors in the mountains. I would not dare to do that. Young people are really brave."
Nowadays, no one dares to go out alone, let alone Mrs. Zhao, even Mr. Zhao doesn’t dare to do that.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We country girls are used to it."
