Chapter Eleven On the Hill

The last batch of prisoners were sold,

More than a month has passed in a flash, and the yellow leaves have begun to fall down gradually, and the rest can only sway gently in the wind. I have also temporarily freed from the chores I have been busy for more than half a month.

The last time Liangshan defeated the five states' official army, it was considered a fortune. The captured flags, wars and weapons piled up like mountains. After the army was selected, the rest were sent to the army for disposal, repair or rebuilding, because the workload was too large. In addition, the young and strong men were selected and used to listen to each army. The remaining ones who were eliminated from the army like me accounted for more than half of them, and there were not enough people in charge of the specific handling.

So, after being reported by someone, I used my expertise again to serve as a bookkeeper. The so-called "beginning with a thief's nest and a thief's cave" was busy for more than half a month.

As one of the few books on the mountain who is familiar with mathematics and documents, I was once again assigned to the Zuoying of Shanhou and also managed a miscellaneous warehouse.

Of course, valuable or precious, or even real good things usually do not appear here, but are directly divided up by the leaders on the spot, or as a share and gift to the upper class.

Only those rags that were brought back after robbing the house and felt that they were indistinguishable or were really worthless, but were brought back were brought here.

Then the ordinary soldiers in Liangshan were selected and continued to play a role. Although the decent armor, swords, flags, curtains, tents, clothes, etc. were all separated, there were only damaged products that were not of high value, such as armor pieces waiting to be repaired, felts with blood on holes, incomplete flags, cracked hand cards and half helmets, and incomplete car parts.

Other old water bags that are still intact, eye-wearing jackets that can be used to repair, dirty felt blankets, copper buckle belts and leather goods, empty paint-detached quiver and scabbards, iron-in-bottomed wool boots, leather sheaths for archery, and some small items such as unknown bead hangers.

After registering the photo, they are sorted into displays on shelves, and then the Liangshan tribes and relatives exchange some things from their own or other sources. According to the convention, the warehouse is responsible for registering and accounting, and a few masters are sent to evaluate the quality and bad, plus an old man who weighs the scale.

However, the original custody was killed in the official army's attack on the mountains, and the remaining few men were added to go elsewhere. Only the old man who weighed the scales was impatient with these tedious things, and he dozed off all day long and basked in the sun. Most of the time, I was basically the only one left in this place.

I simply begged and moved it over, using the things in the warehouse to build a temporary nest for myself. Although I still miss the water and electricity network and various convenient takeaway express delivery from time to time, and download pirated versions.

But at least I don’t have to listen to my stomach protests, nor do I have to be involuntarily wandering around, lying on a straw mat like a pigpen, companioning with the smell of various livestock, and enduring the taste of various insects.

In a word, it means going through the inertia of the former senior home, and being heartless to the laziness of being content with the circumstances, which made me settle down calmly.

Even the longing I remembered in Luoyang was temporarily put behind my mind, because it was not something that I could control for the time being. Although I was still a little unwilling to give up occasionally, some things were forced out by the environment...

The cold wind that leaked in gently shaking the patched curtains. I squatted beside the stove with earth. The charcoal that the people in the mountains burned and used for themselves was emitting golden red warmth and heat.

He hummed gently the tone of Tang Bohu's movie "I have to eat if I die, but I will die if I eat..."

I carefully used two pieces of rice cakes pressed in a wooden bowl mold, clamped a piece of mayonnaise and sesame seeds, roasted them on the stove into 70% cooked slices of meat, and turned them hard for a few turns, and an ancient version of rice burger was ready.

This time, due to the heavy damage caused by the official army's large-scale attack on the mountain, there were almost no harvests in the areas outside Liangshan, but fortunately, Liangshan was not an ordinary bandit.

Soon, a large amount of grain and other supplies were transported to Liangshan overseas. Of course, it was not free of charge. It had to be exchanged for spoils and property. It was just that compared with those lucrative merchants in other parts of the mainland, it was much more affordable.

Therefore, in addition to the wheat beans chewed by traditional people by horses, there are even thousands of stones of rice from the south.

Even I received half a stone as a reward for diligent work according to the head. Of course, the ones I could get were mostly Chengu that had been stored for more than a few years. Moreover, the taste of the same taste as wax is not very good, and it is obviously a variety that is cooked early and fast.

However, even if the treatment of others is much better, it is said that the new soldiers who have transformed from the official army still eat beans and half-cooked Chenmai Rice. The taste is enough for an impressive one.

Only me, the only group of people, gave a collective offer of their title in front of the formation. They were treated slightly better than most captured official troops, and they had specialties that could be used, so they lived a good life.

When staying at home, it is a pleasure to visit various food forums, and then be an experimental party who can make a living by doing it yourself. Anyway, online shopping is so developed, and it is said that everything is included in the sky and the earth. As long as there are enough ingredients, even the gods can turn their heads and eat it for you...

Today is the 9th day of the year, and it is also the third month for me to travel to this world. According to ancient customs, it should have been to put dogwood on the head, climb high and look up with my family, and drink chrysanthemum wine together to express my thoughts on my far-reaching relatives. However, this kind of peaceful year is obviously incompatible with the atmosphere around Liangshan.

But I still got a symbolic piece of meat. As a ox that died of labor, the old beef that was slaughtered and eaten was as hard as the soles of the shoe. It was almost stuck in the shredded meat between the teeth after a few bites. Then there was no toothpick, and the gums dug with sharpened branches were bleeding.

It cannot be barbecued, stewed, or cooked, or fryed, so I had to use it to stew the soup until the shredded meat turned white and there was no trace of taste. Just drink the soup. Anyway, firewood and charcoal are not worth much, so I can stew it.

The meat of the cake comes from a half-piece rabbit on a grill. I advocated a small-scale simple version to provide household production. One of the results of Liangshan's production self-service self-rescue, the personal version of the New Orleans roasted rabbit legs.

In the smoked pot of the stove, there is also a boiling hot yam and snake soup. To deal with the prickly snake bones, just stew it until it is broken and bone-free, and then filter out the thick soup to eat. After all, compared with the strictly controlled large animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses, this kind of wild creature needs as much as possible in this era, and only needs the value of an old belt.

The land in the Siye of Liangshan is quite fertile. You can grow any grains and jacquards, and there are many forests, which have enough sources of forests, fruits, poultry and livestock. Therefore, I also prepared a serving of sauerkraut roasted fish and other things.

Due to the shortage of supplies, the big fish and other aquatic products caught in the water pool can only be enjoyed by the leaders or above. The scraps of these small fish and shrimps in the house will be cheaper for me.

You should know that as a meal in Liangshan, you can just eat or fill your stomach. Also, a large amount of mixed bran cakes and vegetable soup can be said to be full of fiber and limited calories. The protein and fat required by the human body are seriously insufficient intake, which makes it a daily inability to tolerate hunger and become empty-handed. So I found a way to find a different way to prepare a tooth sacrifice and increase my own nutritional status.

This miscellaneous warehouse is one of the sources of my reliance on the mountains and waters. Because after a big battle, most of the compartments inside were piled with rags.

It is still possible to make fun of hardships and improve one's own conditions with a little convenience. In Liangshan, except for the leaders, the things that can be bought by money are quite expensive, just like some colleges and universities in later generations who are focusing on student safety and discipline, and operate high-priced canteens and convenience stores. Therefore, bartering is the common way for people at the bottom.

Under my classification and sorting, the miscellaneous warehouse has also become one of their favorite places to come to shop. Of course, this benefit is all reflected in the physical objects, so it will not attract bosses and other colleagues to be amazed.

It was just that the occasional piles of debris brought with them were fresh or old blood that woke me up from this moment of comfort. It turned out that I was still living in troubled times. As a member of the thief, this tranquility was just a false sense of security.

Although I was in it, I was still like a hedgehog who was curled up, a careful keeper of my own secrets and lies of my so-called origins.

I don’t have much sense of identity with this group, and as a new person, it is too difficult to gain enough attention and easily gain trust in a short period of time.

I can only make some rational suggestions on matters involving me, and then test the bottom line and acceptance level from the upper level of the group little by little, so as to exchange for some benefits within my ability to improve myself.

I imagined that the kingly domineering aura was shocked, and everyone around me became brainless. I cried and shouted for help, sent my girls and forces, and then was willing to surrender to others, or died decisively. I thought I didn’t die fast enough.

Some experiences and results of the body's ex's memory tell me,

Before the individual possesses strength, enough to support and protect himself, he will always make wedding dresses for others or castles floating on the beach.

No matter how bad my father is, the background backer is part of his strength. The so-called equality and respect are based on corresponding strength.

Even if you want to subordinate others to take advantage of the shortcuts, you need appropriate opportunities and ways. At least, my Liangshan is not a good place to rest.

After all, the root of the Liangshan Corps is just a bandit group in troubled times. Without the support of overseas forces, discipline and organization will not be much better than those official troops. And they will do nothing less to target weak people like ordinary people, but they usually kill less and plunder more. Therefore, it is better to say that they are violent groups with special purposes and interests that are demanding.

Unlike the wishful romantic plot of the novel, the reason why they rarely bother the poor is that these grassroots are so poor that they are so poor that they are really not worth the loss. Instead, they only need to use a small amount of food to tempt and violent deterrence to obtain temporary cannon fodder and eyeliner supplements.
