When the Horse Gang escaped from Qiwu Mountain, saving their lives should be the most important thing. However, the greedy Horse Gang Leader was reluctant to part with the family property that he had painstakingly accumulated. These treasures were painstakingly plundered from various places. He really could not bear to give them up. Moreover, he was not willing to take any risks.
Since these treasures were a burden, then they could bury them temporarily in a hidden place. When they needed them in the future, they could come back to retrieve them. However, the Horse Gang Leader was very worried that these treasures would be accidentally discovered by outsiders. At the same time, the Horse Gang members who were involved in burying the treasures were not necessarily reliable. If one of the Horse Gang members who knew about it suddenly escaped and came back to retrieve the treasures, then he would completely lose these treasures.
Therefore, in order to prevent his treasures from being accidentally lost, he was not willing to use the method of burying them. He insisted that his brothers take these treasures with them.
In addition, in the Horse Gang group, there were many people who were greedy like the Horse Gang Leader. Therefore, when the Horse Gang Leader proposed this method, there were also some supporters. Many Horse Gang members were originally very tired when they saw that they were transporting treasures. However, when they thought that with these treasures, they could live more freely in the future, they were very happy. These treasures all belonged to the Horse Gang Leader. As long as the Horse Gang Leader was rich, he would not mistreat his brothers.
However, all the greedy Horse Gang members did not expect that the road they were going to take would be so rugged and difficult to traverse. The difficulty of the journey was beyond their imagination. Therefore, many of the Horse Gang members who supported carrying the treasures felt that they should bury all these treasures. When there was a chance in the future, they could come back to retrieve them. As long as they did it secretly, they should not be discovered by outsiders.
One-eye naturally understood the thoughts of his brothers. However, he was not the boss. The Horse Gang Leader was too greedy and insisted on not burying the large amount of treasures that he had accumulated with great difficulty. He had no choice. He was really worried about the health of his brothers. At the same time, he was also very worried about whether his life could be saved and whether the group could successfully reach Hutu Mountain on Hedong.
The Horse Gang Leader was naturally very greedy. At the same time, this guy also had his own considerations. He was worried that after arriving at an unfamiliar place, it would be difficult because of the unfamiliar environment. At that time, if he wanted to live well, he must have enough inventory, which was a large amount of treasures. With a large amount of treasures, he would not panic in his heart. With money, he could buy food and bribe the local officials. In short, with money, he could let himself live a good life. If he did not have money, he could not do anything. If he did not get the treasures when he arrived at Hutu Mountain, then he would not be able to live a good life.
The brothers in charge of the frontline only knew the basic situation of Hutu Mountain on Hedong. They did not know many details and did not know if there were hidden bandit forces in the area. If there were such forces, they would not be very big. He had money in his hands and could use this money to bribe these bandit forces. Thus, in a very short period of time, he could expand his forces and allow himself to have a team of a thousand people again. Then, he could establish a foothold around Hutu Mountain and continue to live a leisurely and carefree life.
The premise of all this was that he had to have money. Only with money in his hands could he realize these dreams. If he did not have anything in his hands, then the situation would be very difficult to open.
This was the case in any era. The rich would become richer because they had capital, and the poor would become poorer because they did not have capital. The Horse Gang Leader clearly understood this principle, so he desperately wanted to take away these treasures.
In the eyes of the Horse Gang Leader, these chests of treasures were his everything. How much power he could have in the future depended on these treasures. The more treasures he had, the more power he could have.
As for the Horse Gang under his command, they could not bear the burden and some even collapsed due to fatigue. In the eyes of the Horse Gang Leader, this was just an isolated phenomenon and would not affect the overall situation. For his treasures, it was no big deal to lose the health of some of his brothers.
One-eyed's men did not go far on the open ground after climbing over the hill when they stopped because someone fainted. The men led by the Horse Gang Leader did not stop immediately. They needed to climb over the hill in front of them and then set up camp with One-eyed's men.
When the men behind them reached the camp after climbing over the hill, One-eyed's men had already set up camp. Foal and Fatty were hiding in an unnoticed corner and secretly eating dried meat.
Ordinary Horse Gang members could only eat two pieces of dried meat per meal, but Fatty and Foal had to eat at least half a jin of dried meat per meal. At most, they ate one jin of dried meat a day. These dried meat were secretly hidden in Foal's luggage. In the eyes of others, it was just a small box for holding a rag. However, more than half of the space in the box was filled with wrapped dried meat. As it was dried meat, it did not have a strong smell and was covered with a rag, so ordinary people would not be able to recognize it.
Fatty's table manners were very unsightly. He looked like a big fat pig. He didn't care about his image at all. Of course, he didn't have an image to speak of. Little Pony was sitting near the outside. He even had to hold a dry bun and pretend to cover for Fatty. This was to prevent Fatty from being discovered by the other brothers while he was eating.
"Fatty, eat slower, don't choke."
Foal reminded him.
"It's okay, I've never choked when I eat. I have a big voice and a big stomach."
Fatty said vaguely.
"You're the most tired when you're walking, but when it's time to eat, you're suddenly full of energy. You eat more energetically than anyone else, and you eat faster than two people."
Foal looked at Fatty and asked curiously.
This kind of imagination should be a very common phenomenon. Many people in many places would have this kind of situation. For example, when it was time for class, students would appear to be on the verge of death, but when it was time for class, they would be full of energy. Children were always reluctant to eat, but when they saw snacks, they would immediately feel hungry and would stuff all kinds of junk food into their stomachs. When they drank water, they would not feel thirsty and would not want to drink, but when they saw drinks, they would immediately gulp down a big bottle.
It was the same for people in society. When they went to work, they would be in a terrible mood, but when they got off work, they would immediately be full of energy. If they could go online and play games, they would be even more lively.
In other words, people will be very energetic when doing things they are interested in. But when doing things they are not interested in, they will be very dispirited. This is a mental problem. Fatty was like this. When he was working, he looked half-dead, but when he was eating, he was full of energy, not to mention how energetic he was.
Everyone had their own unique interests. Only when they were doing something they were interested in, they would be full of energy. When they were doing something they were not interested in, they would be dispirited and listless.
Fatty's expression was a little skeptical. He looked at Foal and said, "Yeah! Why? When I was walking, I was so tired that I didn't feel like talking, but when I started eating, I immediately felt full of energy. "
"Because you're a born foodie, hahaha!"
Foal said with a smile.
Fatty was very interested in eating. Whenever food was mentioned, Fatty would immediately feel full of energy. Wasn't he a foodie?
"It's good to be a foodie. I'm a foodie."
Fatty did not feel that there was anything wrong with being a foodie. He did not feel that it was a disgrace. Instead, he felt that it was quite good. Being able to eat and drink was a blessing.
The corner of Colt's mouth curled up into a smile. He was helpless against this fatty.
"It's only been a few days and you're already so tired. I heard that there's still half a month to go. How can you endure this?"
"Yeah! I'm too tired. I can only last for three more days. I'll collapse and never get up again. "
"You don't have to be so pessimistic. Maybe after a few more days, the road ahead will be easier!"
"Easier? How is that possible? I'll be thanking the gods if it's not harder. What kind of road is this? It's not a road for humans. "
"The main problem is that you can't eat well. You only have dry buns, salted vegetables, and some dried meat every day. Other than that, there's nothing else. How can you have the energy to eat such rotten food?"
"That's right. If you have seven or eight side dishes every day, you can still endure. Unfortunately, sigh, let's not talk about it. Let's finish eating and rest! If you don't rest well, you won't be able to walk tomorrow. "
The group of bandits gathered together to chat. Most of them were complaining.
Foal was not far away and naturally heard these words. He had been paying close attention to the bandits. As he was now the military's spy, he had to know the bandits' situation at all times. If conditions permitted, he might even be able to make a great contribution.
"Cuckoo cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo."
At this moment, the sound of a pheasant could be heard from afar. The sound was no different from a pheasant's, but only Foal could tell the difference. This was because the sound could be used as a passcode. He could even understand the meaning of the sound.
After listening for a while, he understood that his brother was asking him to find an opportunity to meet him. However, he had to ensure his safety. He could not put himself in danger just to meet him.
The little foal was surrounded by mounted gangsters. Under such circumstances, he naturally could not casually open his mouth. If he were to imitate the cry of a pheasant, the surrounding mounted gangsters would definitely suspect him. In that case, he would be in a dangerous situation.
However, he had to find an opportunity to meet his brother. Therefore, Foal had to think of a way to get out without arousing suspicion. This was obviously going to be difficult.
However, Fatty stepped forward to help. He said, "Listen, there's a pheasant's sound. There are pheasants nearby!"
When he said this, Fatty's eyes were shining. He was definitely craving for pheasant meat. The taste was much better than dried meat.
When the rest of the bandits heard Fatty's words, their interest was piqued. They had been working hard for a few days and had not eaten well. All of them wanted to catch a pheasant to try.
"Judging from the sound, there should be more than one pheasant."
"Maybe it's a group of pheasants!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's catch them! I've been craving pheasant meat for a long time. "
"We haven't had a good meal for so many days. It's time to improve our lives. Who wants to eat pheasants? Let's catch them together."
"Yes, let's catch pheasants to replenish our energy."
The group of mounted bandits said in an aggressive manner.
This scene was naturally witnessed by the bandit leader and One-eyed who had just walked out of the tent.
The bandit leader looked at One-eyed and said, "Brother One-eyed, look! These brothers are full of energy. Look at them. They are all trying to catch pheasants. Do you think pheasants are so easy to catch? Have you ever seen a person who is so tired that he can still catch a pheasant? This shows that our brothers still have potential and are not really tired. "
Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man found himself speechless. What the Horse Gang Leader said was very reasonable. How could there be people in this world who were so tired that they could catch pheasants? This meant that these Horse Gang members still had strength and had not collapsed from exhaustion.
"Big Brother, this is only a portion of the brothers. The brothers' bodies are slightly different. Some are very strong, and some are weak. The brothers with strong bodies will naturally not be tired, but the brothers with weak bodies will not be tired. The brother who fell to the ground tonight is such a weak person."
One-eyed explained.
"Then it's easy. In the future, let the weak ones do less work, and let the strong ones do more. Especially when we need to unload and move the boxes when we need to climb the mountain, let the strong ones do it. Who asked them to have endless strength?"
The bandit leader said very insidiously.
One-eyed was speechless. He smiled and said, "Big brother, take a rest first. I'll go and check the situation."
After that, he walked to the eager crowd.
"Aren't you all too tired to walk? How can you still have the strength to catch pheasants? "
One-eyed lectured them as soon as he came over.
"Eating dry steamed buns and salted vegetables every day has made us sick. Eat something good to replenish our strength."
"That's right. How much strength can it take to catch pheasants? It's much easier than moving boxes. Let's go together. We'll definitely catch the pheasants. "
Several bandits said.
One-eyed shook his head and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Have a good rest! Pheasants are not as easy to catch as you think. It's very difficult. Don't go! Take a rest! "
Fatty saw this and said, "Brother One-eyed, Foal is very good at catching pheasants. I've seen it with my own eyes. He can catch pheasants by himself. With my help, he can catch pheasants even more."
