What Can a Five-Year-Old Like You Rob?

Zhou Wanwan looked at them timidly and said, "Do you really have to do this? I bought this estate, isn't it mine?"

The old lady sneered:

"Your stuff? I've already told you, we're mountain bandits, it's like you can't understand human language."

Communicating with kids is such a hassle. If they don't behave, I'll boil them all in one pot.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her pitifully and said, "But I'm a bandit too..."

Those families laughed so hard they were doubled over:

"Hahaha... This little girl actually calls herself a bandit, that's hilarious!"

What could a five-year-old like you possibly steal?

"That's right, this is the first time I've ever heard of a five-year-old baby who's been robbing people."

"Then tell me, which mountain are you from?"

Zhou Wanwan said softly, "I'm from Black Wind Stronghold!"

The group paused for a moment, then the old woman suddenly spoke up, "This Black Wind Stronghold seems somewhat familiar..."

"Oh dear! This child is making things up. Little girl, where did you get so much money to buy the estate? How much money do you have left?"

The broker was tied up, and he shouted, "You are simply rebelling against Heaven! Aren't you afraid of being caught by the authorities?"

These men sneered and said, "The original owners of this manor were government officials! Let's see if they dare to arrest us!"

"Let me tell you the truth, even if the county magistrate came, he would have to kneel before us. He takes tens of thousands of taels from us every year, what more does he want?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "I see, um, I understand."

She looked at them and said, "Then you can work hard here! Which mountain stronghold are you from?"

The old woman looked at her and said, "We're from Broken Back Mountain."

Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Broken Back Mountain? That's quite a unique name for your mountain, I remembered it right away."

The old woman scoffed coldly:

"Back in the day, Broken Back Mountain was incredibly famous. Who within a hundred miles didn't know Broken Back Mountain?"

"If it weren't for my old man getting into trouble and being killed by my brothers, how could we possibly be here?"

The broker trembled; he was a local and naturally knew about Broken Back Mountain.

The bandits of Broken Back Mountain were absolutely vicious.

He looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Miss, let's leave quickly! We'll abandon this estate."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the bandits and said, "Then you all stay here and farm for me! I'll be back."

After saying that, he ran away with the matchmaker and his brothers.

The bandits from Broken Back Mountain laughed until their stomachs hurt.

"This little girl is so adorably naive, but she certainly has a lot of money."

Next time she comes, I won't let her off so easily.

"Let's avoid trouble. After a while, we'll go back to the mountain stronghold and dig up your father's treasures."

"At that time, why would we even look at this little estate?"

Someone asked softly, "Mom, what kind of treasure did Dad leave behind?"

The old lady rolled her eyes and said:

"That old bastard hid it so well, he only told me when he was dying, how was I supposed to know what he left behind?"

Anyway, he said it's enough for us to eat for a lifetime.

The Little Scholar Tree and the old elm tree were surprised to hear this. They exchanged a glance and then began to act.

The thick roots of the old elm tree, hidden in the soil, suddenly broke through the ground and wrapped around the waists, legs, and arms of the dozen or so bandits.

Then tighten it again and again.

The bandits shouted at the top of their lungs, "What are these things? How did these things pop up out of the ground?"

"Monster! Run!"

But they couldn't move at all. The old willow tree came over from not far away, and its branches lashed at them like whips.

"Have these trees become sentient? What's going on?"

"Waaaaah... How should I know? What are we going to do now?"

The bandits were whipped until their skin was torn and bleeding. Suddenly, the old woman said, "What are these trees trying to do? Why do they look so familiar?"

"Isn't this an elm tree? I harvest a lot of elm seeds every year to make elm seed cakes," said one of the bandits' wives.

Upon hearing this, the elm tree became even angrier, but unfortunately it couldn't curse, otherwise it would have sprayed her with a torrent of blood.

Every time I plucked the elm leaves, I left it completely bare and broke its branches into a mess.

Is this something a human being would do?

The old woman was seeing stars from the blows, and she suddenly cried out, "Tree God! What are your instructions? Do you want us to stay here and work?"

The trees stopped moving, and the old woman quickly said, "Let's get up and get to work! Their meaning is clear; they want us to work."

The old lady never expected that this would go on for so many years, and that these trees would keep a close watch on them, giving them absolutely no time to breathe.

Zhou Wanwan placed 30 pieces of jade here directly; 30 pieces of jade are enough for these trees to last for two months.

Because these trees don't move much, they don't require much energy; you just need to watch over them.

Zhou Wanwan took some seeds and gave them to other people, saying:

"You don't need to go to the dozen or so acres of land inside. You just need to take good care of the thirty or so acres of land outside."

You can use these seeds first; if you need more, I'll give you more.

The weather here is quite hot; it's not the north after all, so there's no need for greenhouse cultivation.

All you need are vegetables and grains suitable for growing in sandy soil.

Zhou Wanwan selected sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, and also white radishes, carrots, scallions, green onions, onions, garlic, chives, ginger, cilantro, rapeseed, bok choy, lettuce, asparagus, green beans, string beans, cowpeas, broad beans, pumpkin, winter melon, cucumber, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers...

They also chose watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon.

Since we're going to open a restaurant, this farm has to keep up.

These people received orders and immediately began sowing seeds.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the broker and said, "Let's go to the next village!"

Fang Yazi shuddered; he now realized just how terrifying this little girl was.

The five families inside were wailing and howling, and no one knew what the little girl had done to them.

He led Zhou Wanwan to the carriage and said, "The next manor is only about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Please sit comfortably, Miss."

God knows how scared this doorman is right now; his legs were trembling as he got on the bus.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "I know you're not bad, and you're fair in all aspects, so you don't need to be afraid of what I might do to you."

The broker quickly nodded and said:

"Miss, I understand. I didn't ask for a high price, so you can rest assured."

If you need anything in Peerless City in the future, you can come directly to me.
