Chapter 272: Summoning People

No one really believed it.

Zhou Guo looked around and saw smoke still coming out of the roof of the old lady's kitchen. He calmed himself down and clapped his hands slowly, patting his clothes. These clothes were newly made, so he must not get them dirty or torn. It was not easy to make a set of clothes.

Listening to these people's nonsense, I wanted to laugh, but I didn't say a word and just looked at them indifferently.

At this time, Zhou Dacang also came limping over, holding his butt, with no expression on his face.

Zhou Guo turned her head to look at his buttocks, and Zhou Dacang immediately covered his buttocks and turned around, glared at her fiercely, and whispered: "Little girl, don't be so careless."

Zhou Guo was a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle, are you okay? I was in a hurry and didn't notice the back. Is your butt okay?"

Zhou Dacang glanced at her and said, "Try to sit on a sharp rock. Will it be okay?"

Zhou Guo shook his head, "I won't try." Then he looked at the people in front of him and said with a smile, "But I think these few people can give it a try."

A few people were still arguing, and someone thought that since it was a dream anyway, they might as well steal the two horses and sell them, and have a good meal. If they didn't dare to do it in reality, why would they dare to do it in a dream?

Everyone thought about it and realized that it was a dream after all. But today's dream was too weird. They all came to each other in their dreams. It was so magical.

Zhou Guo became impatient as they kept talking nonsense. "Uncle, go up and give each of them a slap to wake them up. They look like they are frightened."

With her height, she had to stand on tiptoe to reach their faces.

Zhou Dacang rushed forward without saying a word, and before they could react, he slapped each of them hard in the face with a force that was filled with deep personal resentment, and then retreated after the slap.

The loud slap stunned these people.

Several people touched the burning and painful spots on their faces and looked at each other in disbelief, "…This pain is not a dream!"

They all looked at the two of them at the same time, sizing them up and down. Still a little dazed, they asked bluntly, "Hey, two little brats, who are you? Where are you from?"

Zhou Guo frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Dacang, suspecting that their brains were not normal. He asked, "Who are you, where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

"Hey, are we asking you or you asking us?"

"That's it, little brat, hurry up and tell me!"

Zhou Dacang walked forward with a stern face and slapped each of them twice. Before everyone could react, he retreated. He used gravity in these slaps, which made several people dizzy, with stars in their eyes, and their bodies turned around.

Several people fell to the ground, pointing at Zhou Guo and the other two. They finally realized that they were not dreaming. These two people were more terrifying than each other. One was so fast that they couldn't even catch him, and the other was so strong that he could carry such a big tree. Even if they all worked together, they might not be able to lift the tree. But this kid could carry it on his own and walk very fast.

"You, you, you...you...are you...humans...are you...ghosts?" the question was asked tremblingly.

Before Zhou Guo and the other man could say anything, the old woman from the kitchen came out hunched over. She was startled when she saw so many people. She squinted her eyes and looked at them for a long time before she said, "Come in."

Turned around and went back into the house.

Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang were stunned, and looked at the pale-faced people and said, "Stay here. If you dare to leave, I will break your legs!"

As he spoke, he stepped on an egg-sized stone on the ground with his toes, hooked and kicked it, and the stone shot towards the tree opposite that was as thick as an adult's waist. With a bang, the tree shook, and the stone was firmly embedded in the tree.

She calmly withdrew her foot, rubbed it on the ground, raised her chin to look at the frightened people, and returned to the yard.

Zhou Dacang followed behind and felt that he had to show his performance as well. He picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at the big stone next to him. The two rocks collided and stone chips flew out, splashing on the faces of several people, causing them to scream in pain.

The old woman in the room had already prepared breakfast, a bowl of porridge, a few steamed buns left over from last night, and a bowl of pickles. She saw that there were only two of them coming in, glanced outside the door, and said nothing.

Zhou Guo explained: "Grandma, I asked, they have already eaten, don't worry about them."

The old woman nodded without saying anything. She sat down and gave each of them a steamed bun. She said to Zhou Guo, "Eat, eat to your heart's content. I see you didn't eat much last night."

Zhou Guo said embarrassedly: "I don't eat much at night. If I eat too much, I can't sleep."

Zhou Dacang took a mouthful of porridge and almost spit it out when he heard this.

The three of them finished their breakfast.

The two men came out and saw that the men were still there, so they began to interrogate them, "Who are you, where are you from, and what do you do?"

One of them said hesitantly, "We are refugees. We couldn't survive in the village anymore, so we came out to find a way to make a living. But we didn't know the world outside was not good either. We worked for others for nothing and didn't get paid a penny, so we came out together."

Zhou Dacang asked, "What do you want to do? Why are you here?"

"I came out... I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to find a job to live a stable life and have something to eat. I walked here unknowingly and saw two horses outside your yard. I was curious and wanted to take a look. We have no ill intentions, we are just curious. We have never seen horses so close before."

"Yeah, yeah, we're just curious."

Although he said he was curious, everyone could see the guilty look on his face.

Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang were both angry and amused. "Do you think we are stupid? How dare you say that you don't have any thoughts in your mind? You were born in a poor family, so how could you set your sights on this small farmyard? You really deserve to die."

Several people had seen how powerful she was, and they were trembling with fear and didn't dare to say anything, fearing that if they weren't careful, they would be hit by stones. If the stones hit their heads, they would never be able to eat for the rest of their lives.

Zhou Dacang continued, "As long as you can correct this mistake, we won't make things difficult for you."

Several people nodded repeatedly, "We'll change it, we'll change it, tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Zhou Guo pointed at the rickety thatched house and said, "See this house? It's about to collapse. We wanted to repair it, but we didn't have the manpower. It's just right that you're here. Repair the house within three days. Once it's repaired, you can leave."

When they heard about this, they were overjoyed and agreed immediately.

Zhou Guo walked into the house and said to the old woman, "Grandma, let me help you fix up this house before we leave."
