Chapter 483 Nothing Happened



Chapter 483 Nothing Happened

Zhou Guo looked at the yard where there was nowhere to step and felt that everything was dark before her eyes. There were still many things to do. Fortunately, she asked them to classify the fungi when they were at home, otherwise she would have to be busy all day.

After dinner, the family started working again without stopping.

Zhou Guo went to borrow a car, and he borrowed the cars of several other families in the village.

Every family was very happy about it. After all, Zhou Guo did not take any kickbacks when he sold mushrooms to them. Besides, if they did not use their own vehicles, they would not be able to load so many mushrooms and would not be able to transport their own mushrooms.

There are seven families outside, which means seven cars.

Then he took the cart from Chen's family and hitched it to the ox, so he had three carts, a total of ten carts.

This time, we collected nearly 4,000 kilograms of goods from the village. Together with the goods from several other families, it totaled nearly 5,000 kilograms.

When the loading was halfway done, Wu Jiang and his group arrived. Without saying a word, they rolled up their sleeves and started working. They worked until midnight before they finally protected the fungi, loaded them onto the truck, and tied them up tightly to prevent them from falling.

Nearly 5,000 kilograms of goods definitely cannot be transported all the way to Chengding.

"Master, do you think I should go to Yunzhou or Ningping?"

The old man pondered and said, "Matsutake mushrooms have appeared three times in Yunzhou. Even if the restaurant owners are deaf and blind, or don't know what this thing is, they have heard some rumors about it. They are probably waiting for you to come. You can go and give it a try."

Zhou Guo immediately said: "Okay, then you go to Chengding this time, and I'll go to Yunzhou."

Thinking of the meal he had last time, he smiled and said, "The food at Fu Man Lou is much better than that at other restaurants. Manager Qin is quite considerate. He will definitely prepare a great meal for you when you go there. I don't drink, but the wine I smelled from his wine pot last time was even more fragrant than what you are drinking now!"

"I'll go!" The old man didn't hesitate at all when he heard this. He didn't understand these business matters, so he just did what he usually did. He was the best at escorting.

After resting for more than an hour and having a meal, the convoy, which was longer than the one they had boarded, set off.

When they reached the fork in the road they had last time, the old man took half of the goods and went to Chengding, followed by Hu Zi and others. They were going to Fumanlou to deliver the goods. Since she was not there, Hu Zi and others, who were familiar faces, had to be there.

Wu Jiang and others followed her.

This time, Zhou Cheng and his brother did not come. They were scared by the strong men last time and felt that a peaceful and stable life was better. It didn't matter if they earned less. Besides, they earned the same. Zhou Guo didn't take a penny from them anyway, so it made no difference whether they came or not.

But I felt a little guilty after all, so I came to help them after dinner and stayed until midnight before I went back after they set off.

So, this time the team actually only changed two leaders, and nothing else changed.

When they were about five or six miles away from Yunzhou, Wu Jiang and others were ready. Several people guarded a car, staring at the dense bushes on both sides of the road with serious faces.

Even Zhou Su was holding a sharpened broadsword in his hand.

Wang Fugui was guarding the last car, holding his butcher knife in his hand. This time the cargo was even more than last time, so he couldn't be careless.

We were almost there, one mile, half a mile...

Nothing happened.

Zhou Guo's expression gradually became serious, and he didn't make any sound. These people were really difficult to deal with.

Seeing the place where the last incident happened right before their eyes, everyone clenched their weapons, their bodies tensed, and then...

It went through peacefully?? ! !

Nothing happened.

Everyone looked at the scene of the incident in astonishment as it was getting farther and farther away from them, and some suspected that they were dreaming.

"We got through there safely, didn't we? Didn't we meet anyone?"

"Yeah, it's really strange. Where are those people? Why are they gone? When we beat them back last time, they said they would definitely come back to give us a hard time. Now they're gone now?"

Zhou Guo couldn't figure it out either. "Maybe the government has finally taken action to rectify the situation. It's a good thing that we didn't encounter any of them. But we can't let our guard down. Maybe they can't sell their goods and won't steal our goods. They might just wait for us to come back and make money."

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense. The last time they came back, their money was robbed. If it weren't for the old man's ability, they might not have been able to protect the money.

Wang Fugui at the back couldn't hear them talking, so he could only attribute the credit to Zhou Guo. He couldn't help but mention it to the young men on his left and right, "Hey, you know, Zhou Guo, your boss is a very lucky person, she has a connection with Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha, wherever she goes, she will be blessed by heaven. Why do you think there is no one here this time? It must be the Bodhisattvas who secretly helped."

The teenagers were stunned.

He stammered, "Really...really?"

"It's not true. Why would I lie to you? Many people in our village know about it. It was revealed when we were fleeing."

She told him about all the good luck that had happened to her on the trip, and then said that she was the one who discovered the pine mushroom. As for her illness, she felt that it would damage her prestige among the young men, so she did not mention it.

The young men in the cars behind were listening with fascination, as if they were listening to a story. When they looked at Zhou Guo's back, they all thought, they didn't expect the young master to have such a talent.

No wonder she dared to come to them alone on horseback. It turned out that she could defeat them alone.

Without knowing it, Zhou Guo's status in the hearts of these young men had become even more sacred, all because Wang Fugui could speak up when he had nothing to do.

The convoy arrived in Yunzhou smoothly. Such a large convoy only had to pay one string of coins for the city entrance fee, unlike in Chengding, where four cars had to pay four strings of coins. One could not help but sigh that Yunzhou is still the best.

After entering the city, Zhou Guo had someone carry two baskets down to the vegetable market. She had sold them here so many times, so she had to sell some more to these individual customers. Besides, if the big restaurant didn't want any of them, she would have no choice but to set up a stall in the vegetable market.

Unexpectedly, just as they found a good spot and unloaded two baskets of mushrooms from the car, two people suddenly rushed up from nowhere, holding the baskets and said, "Brothers, we've finally got you here. Don't sell them anymore, come with us."

Several people immediately became angry and shouted, "What are you doing? What law have I violated? You don't allow me to sell things. Who are you? Why should we follow you?"

Someone saw something was wrong and ran to the front to find Zhou Guo.

Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows after hearing this. Could it be that the old man was right?
