Chapter 471 I’m Afraid You’ll Rob Us
He hurriedly grabbed the weapon at hand and looked towards the temple gate as if facing a great enemy.
Zhou Guo listened carefully. There were about five or six people. When he turned around and saw everyone like this, he whispered, "Put your things down. If someone else comes in and sees you like this, they will beat you up if they don't want to. Put your things behind you."
After all, they are all knives, sticks, and sharp stones, and they are obviously things that can kill people.
Everyone hesitated and put their weapons behind them. If they really started fighting over this, it would be too unfair.
A moment later, with the sound of the door opening, five or six men walked in.
Several of them were dressed in neat short clothes, holding swords, spears, and leading horses.
When Zhou Guo and others saw this, they felt a chill in their hearts. Could they have encountered real bandits? Why did everyone have weapons in their hands? How could they defeat them? Wouldn't they be like fish on a chopping board?
When several people saw the situation in the temple, they were also stunned and shouted: "Oh, there are people here. I thought it was a dilapidated temple with no one there."
One person said, "I told you, there must be someone inside. In this day and age, how could there be no one in a place like this?"
Then he shouted to Zhou Guo and the others, "Hey, we are just passing by. We came in to disturb you for one night. Don't be afraid!"
Zhou Cheng and the others were silent, they were terrified. They had only encountered such a scene when they were fleeing, but they didn't have time to see it carefully at that time. Even when the Hu people attacked last year, it was pitch dark and they couldn't see anything. But now they could see clearly the weapons in the hands of the people on the opposite side.
Since they have weapons, they must have kung fu as well. How could ordinary people like them defeat them? They regretted it so much that they had to come out instead of living a good life. Now they were going to be chopped into pieces.
Seeing that they were quite polite, Zhou Guo felt relieved and nodded, saying, "We are just passing by and will rest here for one night. Please do as you please."
As soon as she opened her mouth, those people were even more surprised. They didn't expect that there was a girl among this group of children. It was really strange. Looking at the cows and horses in the yard, it seemed that they were pulling some goods. This group of children was really not simple.
At that moment, several people entered the temple, found an open space and sat down. They used the fire on their side to start a new fire, and after a while they started to roast dry food and dried meat.
At that moment, everyone had lost all their sleepiness and were on full alert. They couldn't lose this batch of goods, otherwise the good days they had just got would be gone.
Zhou Guo, relying on his young age, looked at them carelessly. He saw that although they were all wearing short shirts, the material was quite good.
Especially the one who was surrounded by others intentionally or unintentionally. Although he was black, under the light of the fire, there seemed to be faint silver light shining. This person must be not simple. She didn't know if she had seen it wrong.
That group of people were also very vigilant. She only stared at them for a while when an extremely sharp gaze shot over at her.
Zhou Guo didn't care and held up his chin with a big smile on his face.
The man was stunned, the ice and snow in his eyes melted immediately, and he subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth.
Zhou Guo laughed even more happily. This man looked tall and strong, and quite interesting.
The people around him noticed his strange behavior and turned to look at him, and saw Zhou Guo, a little girl of eight or nine years old, smiling at them with her chin propped up. She was fair and clean, with quite a bit of flesh on her face.
They were all rough men in their thirties or forties. Seeing such a lovely girl, they naturally liked her. They waved and said with a smile, "Little girl, do you want to come over and eat something with us?"
Zhou Guo was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll bring something."
Then he took the last few cakes left in the basket.
When everyone saw that she was actually going over to have dinner with them, they were busy blinking their eyes. They didn't know who these people were and how they could sit and eat with them?
Zhou Guo secretly gave them a reassuring look and walked over with a few cakes.
Seeing this, several men made room for her.
As soon as she squatted down, a round-faced man next to her, about forty years old, with a big belly, said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of us?"
Zhou Guo looked at him seriously for a few times, then shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, you look a lot like my father."
When Zhou Su heard this, she hurried over, looked at him carefully for a long time, and said in surprise, "Really, sister, this uncle really looks like daddy!"
Zhou Guo had said it casually. She only vaguely remembered that her father had the same face. He was a man in his thirties or forties with a chubby round face. He looked very friendly and people couldn't help but want to get close to him.
Zhou Su was very happy, "Uncle, you look so much like my father, can I sit next to you? I haven't seen my father for a long time?"
The round-faced man didn't mind and asked with a smile, "Where is your father?"
Zhou Su's smile faded, and he lowered his head and said, "They were captured and sent to the army. Everyone said they were dead."
The men were stunned for a moment, then they were relieved. Such things happen every day these days and it's nothing surprising.
On the contrary, Zhou Guo and Zhou Suli, who had come out to explore the world at a very young age, were incredibly brave.
Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, you and your brother are so young and you're already doing business?"
Zhou Guo smiled shyly and said, "There is no other way. Dad, uncle and younger uncle have all joined the army, and grandpa died of an illness. If we don't go out and try our luck, we will starve to death. Uncle, you are holding swords in your hands. Where did you come from? Are you a bodyguard?"
Several men couldn't help but laugh, "You still know the escort?"
Zhou Guo curled his lips, "I'm out doing business now, how could I not know about escorts?"
Seeing her discontent, the men laughed again. The one who spoke apologetically said, "I'm sorry, I underestimated you. You've been trying to make a living at such a young age, so you know a lot."
The most influential person spoke up and asked kindly, "Little girl, are you going to Chengding Mansion with your brother?"
Zhou Guo looked at him seriously. He had an elegant temperament and a gentle face. He was probably in his forties or fifties?
He didn't get anything out of them, but he didn't get discouraged. He nodded and said, "Yes, in the capital city, there must be a lot of rich people there, so it's easier to sell things. Are the uncles also going to the capital city to do business?"
The man couldn't help but smile. "The little girl is very young and curious about everything. We are not going there to do business, but to find someone to do something. As for what we are going to do, I can't tell you."
Zhou Guo was not embarrassed after being exposed. He smiled and said directly: "When I saw you riding horses with swords in your hands, I thought you were bandits coming down the mountain from somewhere nearby."
He lowered his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Aren't we afraid that you will rob us?"
What he said was so direct that Zhou Su was stunned!
