In the Flying Tiger Camp, Gao Feihu was sitting under the tree and was currently still so mad that hes shaking uncontrollably.
Unbelievably shaless. They dare to try to steal the n of our Flying Tiger Bandits! I wont allow it. Get my saber, Im going to go teach them a lesson.
Big bro, calm down, calm down. Gao Feibao tried to hold him back with all hes got.
The hell I can calm down. This is obviously a direct challenge against us! Gao Feihu roared out.
We have to wait for the strategist to get back, so just wait. Gao Feibao spoke.
Gao Feihu angrily sat there as he huffed and puffed like a bellow.
You think its for real? That youll get a weapon just from going there?
And white flatbread too.
Gulp. Im drooling just thinking about it. How about we go over and try our luck.
As Gao Feihu sat there under the tree, he could hear such discussions from around him. Although the people saying such things were trying to keep their voice down as much as possible, it still ended up in Gao Feihus ears.
Hmph. White flatbread they say. Not even I have such luxuries.
But Gao Feihu had to admit it. Although this thod of the Toad Bandits was shaless, it was also effective. By now, there are already people in the camp who were tempted. What should he do if they really did get lured away by the Toad Banits.
Big bro, Ive got an idea. Gao Feibao spoke.
Eh? You actually have an idea! Gao Feihu felt like surprises were coming one after another today.
Isnt he trying to lure people away from us? Then why dont we turn his plot right back onto him and send so n over to eat and drink away at his expense? If theres a chance, we might be able to just directly take over Toad Camp. Right now, Toad Camps got a lot of food stored after all.
After he said that though, Gao Feibao noticed that Gao Feihu was staring at him wide eyed and disbelievingly.
Big bro, what is it? Is my plan no good?
No, I just never expected that you actually could say a phrase like turning his plot back onto him. Gao Feihu said.
Zhou Xiaoshu is 17 years old this year. Hes a minor grunt of the Flying Tiger Bandits. His fathers a bandit, his mothers a bandit. Thus, he too was basically born a bandit.
The life of a bandit isnt actually all that great. The clich is that theyd eat at and drink tons of wine, but Zhou Xiaoshu hasnt had a taste of at in over a year now. The weathers not been good these two years, so the fields that they kept frequently yielded no harvest. When theyre out of food, everyone has to spread out around the mountains to try foraging for wild plants. However, supposedly, life down the mountain is even worse. People are forced to labor around the year for their landlords, and they also have to pay all kinds of taxes.
Those are all stuff that the strategist said. Zhou Xiaoshu actually didnt even understand what paying taxes ant.
Hes just a lowly bandit. The lowliest kind at that.
Today, hes going with the vice boss of the camp to Toad Camp. Vice boss said that this is a strategy, one to cause internal division. Truth be told though, he didnt really get it. Hes just following the vice boss.
When theyve reached Toad Camp, they discovered that the gate was packed with people. People from a lot of the other Bandit groups ca. That man called Huang was sitting at a table and said sothing about registering.
Everyone lined up t register. Vice boss tried to cut in line but was kicked out back to the end. Vice boss Is sotis kind of funny.
When they finally reached the front of the line, that Huang guy handed them a piece of paper and said sothing about signing their nas. Zhou Xiaoshu couldnt read. The vice boss could, but he wasnt that good at it either, so he didnt really know whats written there either. In the end, they just copied the people in front of them and drew a circle. There werent that many circles drawn, so Zhou Xiaoshu felt kind of shaful.
Does drawing a circle an that he now belongs to the Toad Bandits? Vice boss already said that theyre infiltrating, and to rember that theyre actually n of the Flying Tiger Bandits no matter what.
In the end, soone handed him a saw and had him work. Work, what work? A super pretty girl said that if he worked well, then hell be able to have dumplings for lunch.
Dumplings. Isnt that sothing that can only be eaten for new year? He rembered eating a bowl last year, and after that, he really didnt want to eat any wild vegetable flatbreads for the next few days. Was she serious? Shes probably lying, right. How can anyone possibly eat dumplings ever day?
Since theyre telling him to work, then lets work. Vice boss didnt have any problems with that either. That said, his own work is cutting down trees while the vice boss was sent to dig up rocks. Hes not good for much, but he is strong. Although the sun was harsh, for the Zhou Xiaoshu who had been working since he was around seven or eight, thats nothing much.
Its just, will he really be able to eat dumplings for lunch?
He had a busy morning. Everyone was working, but no one really felt tired. But before the sun quite reached noon, soone had him stop working. They said that its ti for lunch.
For lunch, it really is dumplings. He really didnt expect that. A dumpling with white dough and wild veggie fillings. There seems to be at in there even. Toad Camp didnt raise any pigs, so it should be wild boar at. He say a big guy co back from hunting along with several other n carrying ga. Wild chicken, dear That guys really good at hunting. If he had such skills, then hed probably be able to eat at every day.
He had his dumplings in hand, but he still didnt dare to eat it. After asking vice boss, vice boss told him to eat his fill, the more the better.
He ate three bowls before he really couldnt swallow anymore. He never imagined that there would be a day where hes unable to swallow down dumplings. Back then, during the new years, if he ate two more than his share, then his dad would seriously curse at him.
The afternoon was filled with similar work. Soone directed him, and he just did what he was told. That bit of work wasnt anything much for him.
At night, it was actually white bread for dinner along with a pot of wild veggies stewing in it. Zhou Xiaoshu really was stunned. This was even more luxurious than new years. For the Toad Bandits to eat like that every day, wont it cause them to be hit with divine punishnt?
However, by night, he was kicked out of the Toad Camp. Could it be because he ate too much? Later on, he found out that wasnt it.
That Huang person said that theyre not mbers of the Toad Bandits yet. Theyre just part ti workers, and theyre still in probation right now, so theyre only getting two als a day along with five pounds of food. If they want to work so more, then they can co back tomorrow.
He didnt get what [Part ti work] and [probation] were, but those five pounds of wheat werent fake. He just did so work in exchange for two als, and they even gave him food before he left. Is it really alright for him to eat and take so much?
When they got back to the camp and told everyone about what happened today, even he wasnt sure that he was telling the truth. But those five pounds of wheat made it so that they had no choice but to believe it. Soone wanted to trade a saber for it, but he refused. Although he really did like that saber, his pa and ma hasnt eaten white bread in nearly a year now.
Only, he did hear soone start complaining to the boss, asking why they didnt get to join in sothing so great and if the boss was giving unfair treatnt.
After that bit of trouble, he likely wont be able to go tomorrow. Its not like he could hog sothing so great every single day after all. But, what if Worst cos to worst, he could sneak over by himself. Thats five pounds of food every day after all. If he works a few extra days, then he wont be afraid co winter anymore.
The weather this years not very good after all. Its been a long ti since it rained.
As he lied down on his bed, filled with such wild imaginings, Zhou Xiaoshu quickly fell asleep.
