Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao were the first to sense the unrest and strangeness around them.
First, people nearby kept staring at them, then pointing and gossiping.
Under the scorching heat, Su Miaomiao's mind was almost unable to function. She leaned on the lowered window sill, resting her arms, and then said to her childhood friend who was sketching beside her, "Do you think these people dare to make a move?"
Cheng Hao said without even looking up, "These people are not like those we encountered on the road before. Several of these groups have definitely seen blood. Running into them won't be a good thing, but we might not be afraid of them either."
They had quite a few people on their side, and their strength was still at its peak.
And they had all practiced a few moves.
Compared to these brute-force individuals, their combat power was much higher.
Su Miaomiao was naturally not afraid of them either, she just wanted to know if they dared to act. Hearing the meaning in her childhood friend's words, the other party should dare to make a move, for no other reason than extreme envy of them.
Always thinking of taking a gamble.
But with so many people on their side, even if they all combined, they might not win. Unless the other party thought they were all incompetent, it was unlikely they would act rashly just by thinking about it.
Su Miaomiao whispered, "If they really dare to come, we'll annihilate them!"
Cheng Hao smiled.
Not long after.
As expected, the other side started inexplicably causing trouble, insisting that people from the Cheng family's convoy had disturbed the traps they had set while relieving themselves in the forest, causing them to go hungry at night, and demanding compensation.
The troublemakers directly targeted Lai Fu, who looked easy to bully.
Lai Fu was only about ten years old, appearing young and easy to pick on.
But they had miscalculated.
Lai Fu was no pushover; he was a tough bone to gnaw on.
He immediately retorted, "You claim people from our convoy disturbed your traps? How did you encounter them? And how did you destroy your traps?"
Lai Fu's mind was clear and his reasoning was sound. He counted on his fingers and explained clearly, "Furthermore! If you say our people disturbed your traps, then if they touched them, they must have been injured. But why are none of us injured? You cannot fabricate accusations out of thin air and frame us!"
The person sent by the other side was a shrew. She had originally intended to argue with this rich young man and extort some money, but she didn't expect to be rebuffed.
It was completely different from what she had imagined, so she was stunned for a moment.
Su Miaomiao, watching the spectacle like a monkey show, let out a chuckle, "Oh my, she looks so funny in her daze. So they only have this much courage and wanted to play the game of extortion? It seems they also know they can't confront us head-on."
After all, their convoy had an outrageously large number of people, so the other side dared not act recklessly. But if they were to throw aside all pretense and make a scene, perhaps they might encounter someone who feared trouble, and their wish would come true.
But unfortunately.
Everyone in the Cheng family convoy, including those from the Shan'ao Village convoy, took their supplies very seriously and would not simply pay money for the sake of face.
If you want to argue?
Then let's argue thoroughly!
As soon as Lai Fu started speaking.
Cao Lisong and the others, who had intended to come over and call out loudly, immediately gathered with their people. They were all young men used to hard work.
The vast crowd looked quite intimidating.
Seeing this, the woman was not only unfazed but immediately sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing, "Oh! There's no justice! They're bullying people! They're using their numbers to bully me! They all want to beat me!"
