The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 21 Kill the horse and eat the horse

"The number of personnel has increased to 48."

Liu Zhenhua sat on a small mound and looked at the number of his men, or the number of personnel.

Liu Zhenhua was not surprised by the two people who had escaped earlier. These two people had joined early yesterday morning.

It's normal to run away when you encounter a horse bandit.

But if Liu Zhenhua encounters them again, he will definitely kill them directly. Deserters, this is a well-known effect on the battlefield, which is the deserter effect.

If Liu Zhenhua's team hadn't had good cohesion before, they might have just dispersed and fled.

"I just don't know how to judge the number of subordinates," Liu Zhenhua rubbed his chin. The judgment of his subordinates was very vague. After all, the number of subordinates changed immediately after Yang Lichao joined.

It shouldn’t be about what one’s sincerity is worth, “Is it because one’s heart is worth nothing?”

Unable to figure it out, Liu Zhenhua stopped thinking about it.

The sun peeked out around five o'clock.

Liu Zhenhua looked helplessly at the five horses in front of him. One horse was dead. It was fine at night, but if the sun was shining during the day, it would not take long for them to rot and produce maggots.

All three horses had broken legs, and only one was intact.

Liu Zhenhua once saw a post saying that due to the special physiological structure of horses, it is impossible to cure a broken leg.

Liu Zhenhua called Ren Hongli and asked him to take the captured machete and give the three lame horses a good beating.

Now I can only eat three big bowls with tears in my eyes.

Although killing horses was illegal in most dynasties, now that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, local officials don't care about it, so Liu Zhenhua has nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, there was another horse that only had some scratches. After a little treatment, it was bouncing around again.

"Wow!"

The new entrants knelt down and worshiped again when they saw the 48 bowls of porridge and pickled mustard arranged neatly.

"Fairy!"

Another discussion about merit and rewards, after eating and drinking.

Liu Zhenhua called to everyone, "Come, take these horses and go to some village to kill them for meat."

Four horses, this kind of adult horse weighs about 3000 to [-] kilograms. These four horses must have more than [-] kilograms of meat.

The 50 of them couldn't finish the meal. It was hot in the summer but there was no salt, so they couldn't carry it and store it.

It's a waste to stay here. It's better to take it to the village and share it with the villagers, and you can also borrow their pots and firewood.

No one had any objections to Liu Zhenhua's words, after what happened yesterday and making porridge this morning.

Even the new members are completely devoted to Liu Zhenhua.

To these people, Liu Zhenhua is now an immortal with a bunch of halo buffs.

The crowd carried the dead horses towards the village with great enthusiasm, and they were barely able to carry the intact horses with them.

The horse was being held by Yang Lichao, who had done this before.

Shi Dalang, who walked out of his home early in the morning, turned around and saw a group of people walking towards him from one side.

They were shouting slogans as they walked, and several people seemed to be looking at the horses over their shoulders.

The few people at the head looked familiar, "Are these the same people from yesterday?"

"Were they killed by horse bandits?"

Shi Dalang's face was full of astonishment. Yesterday they had a confrontation with the horse bandits. During the confrontation, the horse bandits turned around and walked away. They saw a group of people in the distance, they should be the same people from before.

They thought those people would be killed by the horse bandits, but now they saw that the horse bandits were killed by these people. What are these people doing here with horses on their backs?

"You're not going to share food with us, are you?"

This thought came to Shi Dalang's mind, and then he hurriedly called the village chief to come out.Not long after, another group of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, still holding weapons in their hands. This was already a habit of Shijiazhuang people.

Liu Zhenhua and others came to the villagers, and the people carrying the horses placed the dead horses on the ground.

"Master, this is it?"

The old village chief also thought that these people were going to be killed by horse bandits, but now he saw them coming with horses on their backs, and he was suddenly surprised by the fighting power of this group of people.

"We encountered horse bandits yesterday and seized these horses after a fierce battle with them."

Ren Zhuoyue still performed his duties as a diplomat and explained to these villagers, "My young master is kind-hearted and is willing to take out these horses and share the food with you."

The village chief's expression changed. He also knew that killing horses was illegal, but now the village was really short of food, and the villagers hadn't had meat for a long time.

Now I don’t care whether something is illegal or not. The people are in full swing, and no officials have jumped out to take care of it. You can’t have someone jump out as soon as the law is broken, right?

In addition, Liu Zhenhua and others were willing to share the horse meat, and the village chief felt a little guilty. After all, yesterday, they watched the horse bandits heading towards Liu Zhenhua and others, and they had no intention of rescuing them.

Now others are repaying evil with kindness and bringing horse meat with them.

"This must be the young master."

The village chief's eyes moved slightly, he cupped his hands and looked at Liu Zhenhua, who was standing in the middle.

Liu Zhenhua nodded, "Old man, there's no need to be polite. We can't eat this horse meat either. Why don't we take the villagers with us? It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together."

"Thank you for your generosity, young master," the village chief said with a bow. This horse meat is probably more valuable than the entire village.

The people behind him also followed the village chief and bowed.

"Old village chief, there's no need to be polite. Let's get ready to kill the horse and eat its meat." Ren Zhuo said as a gesture, he helped the old village chief.

After a while, Shijiazhuang became lively, as if it was the Chinese New Year.

It might not be as lively now as it’s the Chinese New Year, because they have to eat meat. Needless to say, it’s hard for ordinary people to eat meat during this year, not to mention that it’s horse meat.

Because of the horse meat, the villagers accepted Liu Zhenhua and others.

A group of people shouted and killed the horses and bled them. Horse blood can also be eaten and contains a lot of salt.

Since it was a drought year, the horse meat was not processed much.

Peeling the skin, killing the meat, and roasting it is the best choice.

Fires were set up one by one.

Soon the whole village was filled with the smell of horse meat.

At the entrance of the village, two people walked here and looked at the lively scene in the village.

Smelling the meaty aroma coming from the village, I couldn't help but swallow.

"Go in and ask for some food."

The two looked at each other and made a decision. They had been hungry for a long time. They ran as hard as they could yesterday and kept going around in the middle of the night.

Now I am tired, sleepy and hungry.

Begging for some food to get some sleep, that's the only good thing in life.

The two walked quickly towards the village and soon saw a bunch of people surrounding a campfire staring at the barbecue in the center.

After getting closer, the two of them suddenly felt that the people in front of them were somewhat familiar.

Their faces were full of astonishment, these people did not die at the hands of the horse bandits yesterday.

He is living well now and even eats meat.

Liu Zhenhua raised his eyes and saw the two people with their heads shrinking, and his expression suddenly darkened.

　Thank you for the daily reward of [-] starting coins. Thank you. This is the first time I have received a reward (ε)
