Chapter 94 Collusion with bandits
She must be careful, otherwise she will fail the mission and the reward will be gone.
The reward for this mission is extremely generous.
There is a set of psychedelic protective devices in the reward resettlement area. As long as it is activated and used, people who are not from Taohua Village cannot enter the resettlement area in Taohua Village.
The price of this set of equipment in the mall is three million coins.
Given the stingy nature of the mall, this reward is extremely generous.
The key is that although this device has a price tag in the mall, it is not something you can buy if you want. It also costs 800,000 points from the Agricultural Aid Channel.
Baitao couldn't help but complain when she saw this series of requirements. How is this different from some brands that have to distribute goods if they want to buy bags.
The villagers responded obediently: "Auntie, don't worry, we will never take the initiative to cause trouble."
They also know that there are many people on the road now, and many people will inevitably be stolen or robbed in the middle of the night, or even killed, even if they stick together.
If Peach Blossom Village wasn't traveling in the name of a caravan, and there were so many people, it didn't look like it was easy to mess with, and it would have suffered a lot.
My aunt didn't let the food be sold at a higher price because she wanted Taohua Village to gain a certain favor among the people who were fleeing. Even if there were fewer people to add insult to injury when something happened, Taohua Village would be much safer.
The villagers didn't expect this at first, but it was Bai Duojin who thought about it later, and everyone suddenly realized it after talking to everyone.
Baitao was sitting on the sedan chair, not far from the fire, while the villagers sat in groups around her in twos and threes.
After getting down to business, the daily storytelling began.
This is the villagers' favorite thing before going to bed every day. They have never seen much of the world before, and Baitao's stories one after another always allow them to expand their wonderful imagination of the world.
"...Speaking of which, after Sun Wukong was thrown into the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun, he hid under the "Xun Palace". Xun is the wind, and if there is wind, there is no fire. Therefore, the monkey was not burned to death. When Qiqi Forty-nine days..."
"Auntie, why did the Supreme Lord burn Sun Wukong?"
Before Baitao could say this question, a villager answered: "Think about it, Sun Wukong has made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and he was caught, so he just has to deal with it."
"But it was Heaven that bullied it first. In Shuilian Cave, he was a great king and the Monkey King. But when he went to heaven, he was treated like a horse breeder..."
The villagers don't think it's bad to raise horses. They are still farmers.
But you lied about giving people an official position, and then they packed their bags and went away with high hopes, but you asked people to raise horses. No one would be angry at whoever you replaced.
"Then Sun Wukong is a blessing in disguise, right?" A pair of fiery eyes emerged from the alchemy furnace.
Baitao rested her chin on her little hand, eating melon seeds and laughing at the villagers' arguments.
Next to her, Bai Xiaocao was peeling melon seeds obediently.
The walnut kernels that Bai Tao ate yesterday were also smashed bit by bit by Bai Xiaocao with a wooden mallet.
"You should eat something too."
Bai Xiaocao shook his head and said with a smile: "Auntie, I ate a lot in the afternoon."
My aunt was always afraid that they would be hungry, so she always gave them snacks, such as peach cakes, melon seeds, peanuts, and glutinous rice sticks, etc. every now and then.
Every time they would use the excuse that they had made meritorious deeds and were being rewarded, but they had not made any meritorious deeds. They just saw that my aunt liked flowers, grass, rocks, and wood, so she would find them everywhere she went.
When the villagers were almost done arguing, Bai Dashan said: "Okay, okay, the discussion is over for now. Let's listen to my aunt continue to talk."
Baitao had already finished talking about One Thousand and One Nights before, and these days he started talking about the Four Great Classics.
Before going to bed, Bai Dashan gave his usual instructions.
"Auntie, sleep well, we are outside. If you find anything, just raise your voice and call us."
There are too many human traffickers on this road, and some children will be robbed and sold to Yaxing if they are not careful. My aunt is fair and good-looking, and she looks like she is blessed. If one of her is accidentally kidnapped, the entire village will have nowhere to cry.
Therefore, the villagers have been coaxing Baitao recently, trying not to let her show up in front of outsiders, for fear of being noticed.
Baitao yawned, waved her chubby hands, and said in a sweet voice: "I know, I know..."
The people who fled were a mixed bag. Many of them had no water to wash themselves for a long time, and they inevitably had lice on their heads and bodies.
Head lice are something that, if only one person gets infected, will spread to a large area very quickly.
Fortunately, the people in Taohua Village often apply purple cypress, otherwise everyone around them would be covered in head lice, and Baitao would probably have uncomfortable goosebumps.
Therefore, even if the villagers didn't say anything, Baitao would not leave the camp if nothing happened.
That night, some people were robbed, crying and cursing.
Early in the morning.
The people in Taohua Village had breakfast as usual and were ready to break camp and set off.
Today's breakfast is soy milk fried dough sticks, steamed buns and brown sugar glutinous rice cake, which Baitao bought directly from the mall.
The tent was only half loaded onto the truck when a group of people came over aggressively.
"It's them, they collude with the bandits."
"Yes, the goods we were robbed are in their hands."
"It's all fake, but in fact the whole caravan is full of bad guys."
"Collude with bandits to rob other people's property..."
"Hurry up and hand over our things!"
"Hand it over..."
The noisy movement soon attracted many people to watch.
Seeing more and more people watching, the group became more and more arrogant, shouting for Taohua Village to hand over their things and compensate them for their losses.
If the people of Taohua Village were not alert and whistled when they saw this group of people coming with bad intentions from a distance, about 20 villagers grabbed weapons and ran out of the camp, I am afraid these people would have rushed into the camp.
Once inside the camp, there are so many people and so many people, it’s impossible to predict what will happen.
Bai Dashan came over after hearing the sound. He changed his usual gentleness when dealing with people and asked sternly: "You fart! You said we robbed your property, do you have any evidence?"
"You said we colluded with the bandits, do you have any evidence?"
Colluding with bandits?
Obviously they were the ones who killed the bandits in Heifeng Village. They were doing harm to the people.
Bai Dashan put his hands on his hips and cursed like a shrew: "I also said that you are colluding with the bandits. People are always being robbed along the way. You must be the one who tipped off the bandits!"
"Nonsense!"
"Who is talking nonsense?" Bai Dashan shouted back louder than the other party: "If you want to talk nonsense, you should talk nonsense first."
"You think our Tao... Baijiapu caravan is easy to bully! You go out and ask around, our Baijiapu caravan has been traveling all over the country for so many years, when has it ever suffered a loss?"
"Stop talking nonsense. What we are talking about now is that your Baijiapu colluded with the bandits to rob people and property."
"Maybe they are not a caravan, but bandits!"
"Yes!"
