Chapter 4 On the Mountain

Chapter 4 On the Mountain
Seeing the two men retreat, Lu Yuan put down his spear and ate the biscuit bite by bite, occasionally sipping a mouthful of snow. The cold snow water and the remaining biscuit were finished in just a few bites.

After finishing the pancake, he sat down and let out a long sigh.

Touching belly.

The stomach and intestines seemed to digest food very quickly and started to make "gurgling" sounds again.

Lu Yuan patted his belly.

I patted my stomach until it deflated, and the feeling of hunger was a little better.

Although the pancake was not big, it was not small either, and it was a relatively solid food. Generally speaking, one pancake was enough to fill one's stomach.

But for my small body, it didn't have much effect after eating it.

Also, what was that sudden feeling of hunger like before? It almost drained his soul away.

It seemed like it was just the right time for that superpower to give me strength.

Could it be?

Thinking of this, he silently said "panel" in his heart.

Dark blue fonts cascaded down.

[Host: Lu Yuan]

[Superpowers: Immortality/Infinite Strength]

【Attributes:
Strength: 40】

As expected, I have gained a superpower of "infinite strength".

The attributes have changed to strength display.

40?

Lu Yuan stretched out his fist, which was as thin as a bamboo pole, and punched in the air a few times.

Well, it should be 40 kilograms.

Wow, I added 10 kilograms of force, but it’s still only 40 kilograms of force.

You should know that the strength of an adult male is generally between 60 and 120.

This original body only had 30 kilograms of strength before?

He is really powerless.

But, that's right.

The strength of 60 to 120 kilograms is based on the standards of modern adults.

In this ancient world that looks like it was built with cold weapons, many people were already malnourished, and this body must have suffered from hunger. The ribs were broken into rows, and all the energy in the body was used to maintain basic survival needs.

It's normal that muscles are not developed and there is no strength.

And his previous feeling of hunger was probably caused by the superpower of "infinite strength".

It seems that this superpower can give oneself strength, but the greater the strength, the greater the consumption, and the more food is needed.

That's why he was so hungry at that time.

After thinking this through, Lu Yuan stood up.

The friendly troops in the county town were already retreating, and many of them were carrying a lot of things on their backs. The officers and soldiers, due to their small numbers, did not dare to pursue them for a while.

He had to follow these people back.

After all, he did not inherit the original owner's memory and knew nothing about anything here.

My hands are stained with the blood of these officers and soldiers. If I leave alone and get caught, I'm afraid I'll be dead.

This panel doesn't show any ability to resurrect. If you get killed, you might really get killed. It's better to be careful, follow the main force, and go back to get information.

He patted his rumbling stomach and looked at the dead body of the soldier on the ground for a while.

He picked up the spear in his hand, suppressed his nausea, and cut off the soldier's two ears with the tip of the spear. The two men had cut off the soldier's ears and took them away before, so it must be useful.

This should be the loot.

It’s just like watching international news in my previous life, when the black guys would cut off certain organs of the enemy during the war.

He put the two bloody ears in the pocket of his tattered cotton coat and followed the retreating people towards the mountains.

After crossing several ravines and climbing a thousand-meter-high mountain, with several bloody scars on the calves that were not covered by the torn pants, caused by the thorns in the bushes or the sharp grass, we finally arrived at a place full of dug earthen kilns.

I was out of breath after the long journey and felt even hungrier.

No wonder the original owner died instantly.

He ran so far down the mountain on an empty stomach, and then fought a fierce battle with the soldiers. He must have been hacked to death at least.

He looked around carefully.

This is a commanding point on the mountain. It takes a lot of effort to get up there.

Standing here and throwing some stones down can cause huge damage.

So, this must be the base of the Tianxing Army, right?

To be precise, this is not the Tianxing Army, but a brigade of the Tianxing Army.

As he followed these people up the mountain, he asked about the rebel army as he went.

The original owner of this body had just joined the rebel army alone the day before yesterday. He didn't know about these things, but after asking, no one doubted him and gave him the answer directly.

The Tianxing Army, which revolted by beheading the White Snake, was the largest of all the rebel armies.

In the army, the highest position is the general, followed by the army commander, below the army commander is the division commander, and below the division commander is the brigade commander.

They are a brigade of the Tianxing Army.

This brigade currently has nearly two thousand people, with more than a dozen sergeants. One sergeant leads five squads, and each squad has about twenty people.

The Tianxing Army was a major threat to the imperial court. In the battle of Huizhou, one of the Tianxing Army's armies was defeated by the imperial court's armored army, and the divisions and brigades in the army were dispersed to avoid the imperial court's pursuit.

This brigade of theirs fled to Youzhou, Zhiyuan Prefecture, and continued fighting with the government in the mountains.

Today, we will attack Qingping County.

When he was excited, the man even showed off by opening the sack on his back, revealing the white rice inside.

It weighs more than twenty kilograms!

His eyes sparkled as he looked at the rice from afar. He wished he could grab it and eat it raw.

The man said proudly:

"These were all robbed by my brothers from the wealthy families in Qingping County. More than 20 of my brothers died for this. I also risked my life to snatch this one bag."

As he said this, he sighed and said:
“However, this is not mine. Although I got more rice after I robbed it, I still have to hand it over to the brigade commander and his people will distribute it.

If it is divided, it will definitely not be 20 kilograms, maybe, it can be 2 kilograms? Then I will be satisfied too. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yuandao:
"You are new here and do not have the qualifications to enter the city to rob food, but if you can kill the soldiers who block your way along the way and cut off a pair of ears, you can exchange them for half a pound of rice."

Half a pound?

I, Lu Yuan, risked my life to kill someone, and almost lost my life, and only got half a pound of rice?
This shit isn't even as heavy as the rice cake we took from that soldier!
Lu Yuan stared at the caves on the mountain with a cold face.

He saw how much stuff the people who came down the mountain carried back up.

Those men in armor carried back several pigs!
Those people next to the armor who don't look so thin have chickens, ducks, geese, chickens and duck eggs in their hands, which are dangling in their pockets.

This man risked his life to get 20 kilograms of rice, but could only get one tenth of it.

He also tried his best, but he could only get half a pound?

What the fuck is this evil exploiting class? ?
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, clutched his two ears in his pockets, and walked towards the place where many people were queuing and some were sitting there to count their military achievements.
