Early the next morning, Adong, Ruan Qi and others came to knock on the door, and Lu Yongzhi sent him a lot of things designated by him.

After hearing the verbal talk of the few of them, Lu Yongzhi realized that they had knocked the priest's shop while it was dark. Several people pointed guns at the priest, and Adong reported the amount of materials needed.

The priests cooperated very much and prepared all their belongings. Finally, they offered to give them a pan.

Of course, they all paid according to the price. Before leaving, they warned that if the news of buying things spread, your family should pack up and run away.

"It's that simple?" Lu Yongzhi didn't expect that their solution to the problem was so simple and effective, but he made things complicated.

"In the future, Mr. Lu needs such things. Tell me that I can go to Tongdeng to buy some red sausage and bacon." Ruan Qi said with his chest covering his bag.

"That's right, we usually do some business that doesn't cost money, so isn't it simple to spend money?" Another person also interrupted.

After three days of busy schedule, Lu Yongzhi did not bake a decent bread. It was easy to know and difficult to do.

That day, as soon as he came back from outside, the fragrance of bread came from the kitchen. Wang Ma pointed up happily and whispered: "The foreign lady came downstairs today, and the bread was all baked by her."

Lu Yongzhi took a bread and went upstairs while eating. He went upstairs, ate the bread in big mouthfuls, and gave Xiaomali a thumbs up. Xiaomali was actually blushing shyly.

In this way, after many days, Xiao Mali gradually took things as she was at the same time and could sleep soundly at night, but there were often sobs in her dreams.

She often goes downstairs now. In addition to baking bread, she also takes the initiative to wash clothes and helps Wang Ma cook.

But I never saw her smile.

On that day, when he arrived at the ancestral hall again, Guixiang was able to walk down the ground, but he was very weak. Seeing Lu Yongzhi coming, Lin Junsheng greeted him and said:

"You are here just in time. We are preparing to hunt. Are you interested? Let's take a look?"

"Hunting? How to play?"

"It is to organize the young and strong people in the village, sometimes including those in other villages. Some people are sent to go up from the hills on both sides, and then shout loudly, and drive the beasts in the mountains on both sides into the valley. Good shooting skills are lying in the valley, and good luck is to hit a few big beasts, which is enough for the whole village to eat for a few days."

"Okay, take me to see."

"There are many snakes on the mountain, you have to wear leggings."

There were less than ten people left in the valley, most of whom were carrying earth guns, and there were also those with bows and arrows. Lin Junsheng held a rifle and a machete on his back.

Lin Junsheng explained: "The bullet is expensive and I am usually reluctant to use it, but it is still a good deal for the local gun."

According to Lu Yongzhi's observation, Lin Junsheng said that there were forty or fifty people in this strand, but in fact only a dozen people were holding fast guns, and most of them were wearing long red tassel guns.

It's a tough time to go out to fight. At most, you can only rob and use a cold gun to do assassinate or something.

The two of them squatted behind the rocks, waiting for the people on the mountains on both sides to drive away the beasts. Lu Yongzhi asked, "Brother Lin is also a soldier?"

"I have never been a soldier. I have been hunting on this mountain since I was a child. My family is a hunter. I used earth guns, but later I snatched a quick gun from the Annan people. My brothers had nothing to do and had no hope, so I recommended me as the leader and started doing this lack of capital business. Do you scholars look down on us bandits?"

"What are Brother Lin saying? They are not forced by this world."

"Hey, I'm just talking about it and I'm just waiting to die." Lin Junsheng sighed.

"You are going to keep going like this?"

Lu Yongzhi asked tentatively.

"What else can it happen? The movement is so big that it causes officers and soldiers. When officers and soldiers come in, the people who are fighting in this way have to be unlucky. They really kill the common people. They can only make small fuss occasionally, without knowing it."

"I heard that Brother Guan is making a big noise. Now the governor Su Yuanchun is looking for him and wants to recruit him."

Lin Junsheng looked at him vigilantly: "You won't want to encourage me to join Guan Wuming with someone, do you?"

"I mean, why did Su Yuanchun recruit him? It's not that others have too many guns, but they can't suppress him, so they have to recruit Luo."

"You scholars have many ideas, Mr. Lu, please show us a way."

Lin Junsheng sincerely asked for advice.

"Traveling to Guan Wuming may not be an option. But how many people can pull out now and how many guns can be used? Your strength is too weak, and even if you defect to him, you won't get a good price."

"What do you mean?"

"First of all, you have to think about strengthening yourself. Then choose two ways yourself. One is to build a scale of one or two hundred people on the border line and compete with Guan Wuming. What price Su Yuanchun will give to Guan Wuming in the end, and what price will be given to you in the end."

"It is indeed very difficult to get one or two hundred people like Guan Wuming. What about the second path?"

"Then you will grow stronger, get 40 or 50 guns, and join Guan Wuming's men. If Guan Wuming gets a steward, you will have to get at least a whistleman."

"Hey, after all, you're still surrendering to the Qing soldiers."

"Don't underestimate this. As the saying goes, it's great to be on the back of a big tree to enjoy the cool air. When someone gives you a soldier, your gun and you pay, but these soldiers are firmly in your own hands, that's different."

"Mr. Lu, we will go home to have a drink and have a good chat in the evening, and the hunting has begun."

I saw someone on the hills on both sides starting to flap red flags and waving them. After a while, gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and the red flags were waving. From time to time, there were firecrackers, mixed with shouts echoing in the valley.

There was a gust of wind and grass on both sides of the mountains, and rabbits and pheasants flew up, and soon two wild boars rushed out of the forest.

"It's OK, I finally saw a big living thing. Come on, try and shoot me?"

Lu Yongzhi smiled and took the rifle. When he saw the wild boar enter the range, he shot the wild boar on the cheek bone with a bang.

"Well, it's not bad. You are a scholar, but you are very skilled in shooting."

Hehe, you don’t know how many feet the former owner of this body hit the butt for this action.

Lin Junsheng took the rifle and fired a shot, but the gun hit the pig's eye. The wild boar weighing 400 kilograms ran abruptly for more than ten meters before falling to the ground.

"It's OK, this wild boar meal will not be able to escape tonight."

After a hunting battle, the results were pretty good. Two wild boars, one deer, and one or twenty pheasants and hares were killed.

"For hunting like this, you can get it at most two or three times a year. There are fewer and fewer wild animals."

As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to earn the mountain. If you want to become rich, you still have to make some ideas on the mountain, but even if the whole of Guangxi is poor, the production on the mountain cannot be sold at a good price.

"Let's go back, wash and change clothes, see you in the ancestral hall in the evening."

When he got home, Lu Yongzhi took the clothes and towels, fed a basin of water in the yard, untied his braids, washed his hair with soapcorns, and let his hair go loose. He changed the basin of water and scrubbed his body.

I went to another room to change my clothes, and then gestured to Xiao Mali. The whole village was having a meal in the ancestral hall. You wait here and ask Mom Wang to give you something delicious later.

After gesturing for a long time, Xiao Mali still looked at him blankly, nodding for a while, and shook her head for a while.

Alas, forget it, it's too tiring to talk to you!

Lu Yongzhi shook his head and took it out.
