Chapter 82: Stone Scarf Village (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Looking at the numbers on the panel increasing every day, Lu Yuan felt quite satisfied.

Now he is in charge of the entire brigade. As long as there is food in the brigade, he will not starve.

And I can eat as much as I want every day, no longer having to suffer from starvation every day.

These days, his height and weight seem to have increased a little, and he is full of energy every day.

This feeling is quite good!

Then he took out a piece of dried bacon from his pocket, threw it into his mouth and started chewing.

Li Qi, who was standing by, saw Lu Yuan suddenly stop and thought something had happened.

When he saw the other person swallow a piece of bacon in one gulp, his expression became strange.

This Lu Lushuai is good in every way except that he eats too much!

At least rations for 20 people are needed every day!

He was really curious about where all the food the other person ate every day went.
Well, although the other person seems to have grown a little taller and stronger.

But this consumption is really not proportional to what is eaten.

That's enough food for twenty people! !
And this guy seems to be eating more and more.

I hope that in the future your appetite will not be so big as to eat a cow every day, otherwise, his Tianxing Army may not be able to afford it!
How about, when the time comes, adding some whole grains and pumpkin leaves to it?
Although the other party has a big appetite, he doesn't seem to be picky about food.

Whole grains, I think, are also okay.

While Li Qi was thinking, Lu Yuan had already swallowed the bacon.

He patted his stomach, ignoring the strange look on Li Qi's face, and simply said:
"Walk!".

Then, he walked forward barefoot.

The pawns who stopped to eat because Lu Yuan was eating also followed Lu Yuan closely.

More than 2,500 soldiers, leading more than 40 horses seized from the elite soldiers of the general's mansion, marched south in a mighty procession.

After a while, not far away from where the soldiers had stopped briefly.

A person who was lying on the ground, wearing clothes the same color as the rocks and a turban of the same color on his head, climbed up from the ground.

Look at the team that has disappeared, turn around and leave.

Stone Scarf Village.

A place where rocks intersect.

Rows of wooden houses are located among the rocks.

The houses in this village are all built against rocks, with simple thatched roofs.

There are many caves where the rocks intersect, and it is hard to tell whether they were dug or formed naturally.

Many wooden houses were built directly at the entrance of the cave.

At this time, it was already evening.

From the wooden house came the sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games.

In a wooden house that was much larger than the others in the village.

Inside the wooden house, sitting on the upper chair, was a burly man with a stone-colored turban and a scar on his face.

Behind it, there is a huge bull head hanging.

Under my feet was a large tiger skin.

Below it, there were two chairs on each side, with four burly men sitting on each.

The faces are different.

Some have gloomy faces, some have bald heads, and some look vicious.

In the middle of the room, there was a bonfire burning in a charcoal stove.

A young man wearing a turban was carefully watching over the fire in the furnace.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly, warming the whole wooden house. At this moment, the scarred man at the top seemed to be interested, and said to a subordinate who had just come in from the bottom and was wearing clothes of the same color as the rocks:

"You mean, a group of more than 2,000 people, either bandits or rebels, passed through our Shijin Mountain?
And each of them had iron weapons, carried a lot of food, and had more than forty horses? ".

The subordinate who came in and bowed replied:
"Yes, great village chief, they all carry bulging cloth bags, which must contain a lot of food.

Those horses all look pretty good, and they seem to be war horses."

"By the way, did you see any gold, silver or treasures the other party brought?" asked the scarred chief with some greed in his eyes.

"Grandmaster, I don't know about this." The younger brother bowed again and said to the scarred man.

He lay there for a long time, and indeed did not hear any sound of gold and silver shaking in the cloth bags.

But this does not necessarily mean that the other party did not bring gold and silver.

Maybe it's placed in a solid box or wrapped in soft material.

“Forty horses and some provisions.

More than 2,000 people, all carrying weapons. "

The village chief leaned back with his hands on his head.

Slowly said:
"It's a bit tough."

Most of the four village chiefs sitting at the bottom had flickering eyes and said nothing.

There are less than two thousand men in their stronghold.

Normally, they would at most plunder towns and villages, and had never taken on such a big bone as a well-equipped army of more than 2,000 people.

Therefore, at this moment, even though they have been rampant here for many years, they dare not make a decision.

But the second village chief, who looked shrewd, said to the scarred man:
“Brother, forty war horses, this is a good thing!
We have plundered so many counties and towns, but have we ever gotten any good horses?
If we can get such war horses, we can feed them with fine grass, and then drive them into the county to plunder in the future, which will definitely increase our strength."

He paused and then said:

"What's more, if this can be accomplished, we can also obtain more weapons, armor, food, and even gold and silver treasures.

As a brother of this big pig, we may not be able to think about it!"

"Oh? Second Brother, do you have any plan?" The scarred man knew that Second Brother was greedier than him, but he was not stupid either.

Knowing that the enemy has more troops than his own, he still spoke at this time. Maybe he has some countermeasures.

To be honest, he was naturally envious of these resources.

Life in Shijin Village is not easy these days.

Although they were able to go down the mountain to plunder some towns, there were starving people everywhere, and they could not rob anything except people.

The county seat, though rich, was guarded by elite soldiers and occupied on high walls.

Even though they already have ideas, they still lack confidence and dare not take any action for the time being.

Nowadays, there is not enough food in the mountain village.

If we don't get some food, the nearly two thousand men under our command will probably disband.

By then, their position as village chief will be unstable.

If we could get food for the more than 2,000 people passing by, we would still have 40 horses.

Even if they couldn't use the horse, slaughtering it and eating the meat would be enough for their village to pass some time.

How could he not be envious of such a big piglet?

“Brother, although this group of piglets has more than 2,000 men and they have weapons in hand, they are not elite soldiers of the government, so their combat effectiveness may not be that strong.

Maybe they are just some peasants, a temporary team. They will be scared away if threatened.

We in the Shijin Village have plundered countless times and have rich combat experience. Although we only have 2,000 people, how can we be compared to just a bunch of peasants?"
