Looking at these refugees who kept appearing on the road, Gao Huaiyuan was in a bad mood more and more, watching them hungry and cold, mourning, and wanting to help them, but calculating his own ability, he could only give up in the end, how could so many homeless people be helped with this little money in his hand?

So he could only choose to turn a blind eye, urging a few people along the way to speed up and rush to Daye as soon as possible, and when he got there, let's see if he could do something!

They no longer toured the mountains and rivers along the way, but began to speed up according to Gao Huaiyuan's requirements, and after a few days of day and night, they entered the Poyang Lake area of Jiangnan West Road, as long as they crossed Poyang Lake, it would not take long for them to reach the Gao family's old house in Daye County, the destination of this time!

However, the number of displaced people here has also increased, and there are even starving people on the roadside on the road, such a scene makes Gao Huaiyuan almost can't believe that the most prosperous era in Chinese history will actually starve to the wild, and he feels uneasy.

"Young Master! I've heard that there are a lot of rogues in this area, so let's be careful! After all, there are only a few of us, in case we run into a rogue, the little one's life is nothing, the young master must not have an accident, otherwise the little one can't afford it! Otherwise, let's make a fire early tonight (that is, the meaning of sharpening, and later because the fire was misunderstood as sharpening, it became a sharpening in later generations, which means eating and lodging!). I live in the small town in front of me, and I will set off early tomorrow morning, and I will pass Poyang Lake in one day, I don't know what the young master thinks? Li Tong saw the hungry people on the side of the road, all looking at their mule cart, as if they wanted to pounce on the mule and donkey that killed them to satisfy their hunger, so he stopped the mule cart anxiously, and trotted all the way to Gao Huaiyuan to discuss, but this time the attitude was much more respectful.

Gao Huaiyuan also saw Li Tong's worries, thought about it for a while, and felt that his proposal this time was also for everyone's good, and once he missed the town in front, it would be unsafe to walk at night at night, so he nodded and agreed.

Li Tong hurriedly drove the mule cart into the town with Gao Huaiyuan, and found a small inn in the town, put the mule cart away, and ran Zhang Luo to feed the mule and Huang Yan's donkey, and helped Huang Yan and Zhou Hao to put the things on the cart in the house, and then returned to the front, standing cautiously aside, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan subdued Li Tong, he didn't hold the young master's stinky shelf every day, and after seeing Li Tong's change, his attitude towards him was much kinder, and he beckoned Li Tong to sit down and eat together, Li Tong didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare, he asked for something to eat on the side, and he ate alone.

Originally, Liu Er felt that he was also a subordinate, and it was not good to eat at the same table with Gao Huaiyuan, so he proposed to eat with Li Tong on the way, but Gao Huaiyuan did not agree, and insisted on letting him eat at the same table with him, Liu Er did not dare not agree, so he had to sit down with Gao Huaiyuan and serve him to eat.

A few people who were not very extravagant, casually ordered some food, and began to eat and drink around the table, at this time, a few people shouted from outside, called some food and drink in the small shop, and began to eat and drink.

A person got up and walked into the backyard, and after a while, he turned back, and he didn't know what he muttered to a few other people, and the eyes of several people began to sweep towards Gao Huaiyuan and the others.

Gao Huaiyuan, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao have gone all the way, and the two of them have become more and more respectful to him, everything is based on Gao Huaiyuan's horse, the three of them have formed a delicate relationship, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao have consciously become Gao Huaiyuan's followers, Zhou Hao's family is poorer, and he has made up his mind to follow Gao Huaiyuan in the future, so Zhou Hao always thinks of himself as the next person, no matter what Gao Huaiyuan says, it can't be done, and in the end he can only be left to him! Anyway, it's better to be an extra brother!

While eating, several of them whispered about the route to take tomorrow, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly felt that someone was paying attention to them, so he swept the men at the other table with the corner of his eye, and saw that these people were untidy and grinning, and two of them were still carrying long cloth bags, and at a glance, they knew that the bread in it was a single knife, and then looked at their eyes, and immediately became alert.

In his previous life, he was a policeman, and he still had a little experience in watching people, so he glanced at it and immediately felt that these men were not good goods, and they were just doing some thieves who stole chickens and dogs or cut paths, so he was careful in his heart.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stopped Huang Yan and Zhou Hao from continuing to discuss tomorrow's itinerary, let them concentrate on eating, and began to pay attention to the behavior of those guys.

He saw that the first person was tall and strong, and now that the sky had cooled down, this guy was still open-chested, with a handful of chest hair on his chest, and this guy still had a beard, which looked more fierce!

Several other people spoke with his face, toasted him from time to time, and called him big brother, and the guy was drinking and eating meat, while always looking at his own people, his eyes flickered, and from time to time he lowered his voice to say something to the people around him, and several people looked at him from time to time.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't want to provoke them, lowered his head and accelerated his speed to finish eating, and immediately took Huang Yan and the others back to the house in the backyard.

"It's still early, why don't we go to town for a stroll! Idle is also idle, isn't it? "Huang Yan is lively by nature, he is an idle master, as soon as he settles down, he wants to go out to see what is new, so he proposed to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Don't worry, Li Tong, you go outside and keep an eye on what those men were doing just now! Don't let them notice! Gao Huaiyuan said to Li Tong, who was bowing his head and packing up his things.

Li Tong hurriedly agreed, his face changed a little, he didn't care much about the men just now, Gao Huaiyuan said this, he also felt that those people seemed to be a little wrong, and immediately realized something, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the door.

"Be steady, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's my delusion, you just take care of the mule, don't be nervous!" Gao Huaiyuan saw Li Tong's nervous expression, so he hurriedly stopped him and ordered.

Li Tong was a little embarrassed, he was the oldest among these people after all, but he wanted to comfort Gao Huaiyuan, and he was a little embarrassed, so he quickly nodded and agreed, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, raised his legs and walked out of the room, and did things according to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions.

"Didn't the boss say those guys had a crush on us! If that's the case, aren't we in trouble? After Huang Yan saw Li Tong leave, he also realized that something seemed wrong, so he hurriedly said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Afraid of what? Don't forget that we all have kung fu now, how can we be afraid of a few thieves? But I don't think those people just now are good people, they can't be eyeing a few of us! Gao Huaiyuan glared at Huang Yan, and then said to them.

"Yes, yes! I'm afraid of them birds, but the master is a kung fu person now, how can he be afraid of them? Huang Yan was a little embarrassed by Gao Huaiyuan's words, and hurriedly said.

Zhou Hao frowned, but he didn't answer their words, but continued to wait for Gao Huaiyuan's next words, Liu Er was a little scared, and her expression was a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid, Liu'er, I'm here! It's going to be fine! We're in town, and they don't dare to be arrogant here, if I'm not mistaken, these guys are talking in a whisper just now that they're going to rob our belongings, mule carts, and Huang Yan's donkeys on the road tomorrow after we hit the road! It should be fine tonight! Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly comforted Liu'er, and then continued to say to them.

"So what do we do? It's a big deal, I'll fight for them tomorrow! The boss has two good guys, can you be afraid that they won't succeed? Huang Yan said angrily.

Zhou Hao didn't speak, but he also nodded, expressing his agreement with Huang Yan's opinion.

"That's right, the people here are unfamiliar, we can't hide if we want to, I'm afraid it's useless! And if you want to report to the officials in this place, I'm afraid you can't find anyone from the government, so you can only fight with them!

But there are more of them than us, Li Tong is afraid that he will not be able to use it when the time comes, only relying on the three of us, the two knives given by the master cannot be easily exposed, otherwise, these two knives alone are enough to attract the covetousness of thieves! I think so, Zhou Hao don't go out, go and stare at those guys with Li Tong for a while, if you can eavesdrop on their words, just eavesdrop on some and come back, and be a little prepared tomorrow!

And we don't have a guy at hand, Huang Yan, you kid is clever, take some money and go out for a trip, go around the town, buy two single knives and an ash pole spear and come back, don't let them find out, try to keep it as secret as possible! We use this thing for self-defense! ”

"Don't worry, boss! I know how to do it! Huang Yan nodded, and Zhou Hao agreed, don't look at these two people's age, but they are quite a bit of a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

After arranging Huang Yan and them, Gao Huaiyuan smiled at the nervous Liu'er and said: "Liu'er, don't be afraid, I'm afraid you don't know my skills yet, it's not a problem to deal with a few such little thieves, if something happens tomorrow, don't panic, sit in the car and don't come down no matter what happens outside, otherwise it will distract me, but it will hurt me, do you remember?" ”

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Liu Er nodded vigorously, and plucked up the courage to say: "As long as Liu Er follows the young master, she is not afraid of anything!" Young master, don't worry, Liu Er will be obedient! ”
