With that said, Lu Dan stood up and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he asked Hu Laoqi: "Where is the second in charge?"
Hu Laoqi shook his head and said: "I don't know...ah, I'll find the second boss..."
"No need, just go about your business, I'll go find him myself."
Then, Lu Dan strode out of the cave.
After wandering outside the cave and asking for a while, Lu Dan learned that the second master had gone to the "grain warehouse" on the mountain.
This "grain warehouse" is actually a dry cave. Only if it is placed here, the food will not get moldy easily.
Going up the mountain along a man-made path, Lu Dan came to the outside of his "grain warehouse" and saw the four men who held the "grain warehouse".
"The boss!"
"The boss..."
The four subordinates greeted Lu Dan one after another.
Lu Dan nodded one by one and asked: "Is it inside the second master's house?"
One of his subordinates immediately replied: "Yes, the first boss and the second boss are counting the grains in the warehouse."
"Yeah." Lu Dan responded and walked towards the "grain warehouse".
As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Dan said loudly: "Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin?"
Suddenly, there were waves of echoes in the cave.
When the echo fell, Lu Dan heard someone in the depths respond: "Master, wait a moment, I'll be out soon..."
Even though he heard the other party's answer, Lu Dan still didn't stop and continued walking deeper into the cave.
In the deepest part of the cave, there are densely packed food bags piled on the ground. These were plundered by Lu Dan and his group. Now that they are besieged in Lintai Mountain, they rely entirely on them to survive.
Among the grain piles, there was a man dressed as a scholar. He was holding an account book in his left hand and a writing brush in his right hand. He was counting and taking notes with a very serious attitude.
Seeing Lu Dan appear, he turned his head and said, "Master, why are you here?"
Lu Dan said very politely: "Mr. Lin, something happened just now. We don't quite understand it, so we came to you for advice..."
This man whom Lu Dan calls Mr. Lin is the second boss here. His real name is Lin Siyuan. He is thirty-six years old. He has been with Lu Dan since the day he became a bandit. Because of his brain
After reading some books, he naturally became the strategist of the rogue bandits. It was precisely because of this person that Lu Dan quickly became stronger and became the most powerful force!
Lin Siyuan asked: "Master, what you want to ask about is the death of Li Shizi?"
Lu Dan said in surprise: "Mr. Lin already knows about this?"
"I know..." Lin Siyuan nodded slightly, walked towards Lu Dan and said, "When I came up just now, I heard the people below talking about it, so I asked around and I probably know a little bit."
As soon as Lin Siyuan finished speaking, Lu Dan asked: "Mr. Lin, did you know that the person who chased Li Shizi to death was a young man dressed as a scholar?"
"Really? Li Shizi was actually chased to death by a scholar?" Lin Siyuan looked surprised.
"It's absolutely true! He said he saw it with his own eyes, and he swore a poisonous oath!" Lu Chen said.
After saying that, Lu Tang recounted what he had seen.
Lin Siyuan closed the account book as he listened, his brows gradually furrowed, and after thinking for a moment he asked: "Are the bosses worried that this person will be harmful to us?"
"Exactly!" Lu Dan nodded heavily.
Lin Siyuan's face remained calm and he said: "Master, don't be impatient. Where does this person come from and why is he here? Let me find a way to find out!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin!" Lu Dan said with clasped fists in thanks.
Lin Siyuan waved his hand gently and said: "Master, you came just in time. Our current food surplus is not optimistic!"
Lu Dan immediately became serious and said: "Mr. Lin, please speak!"
Lin Siyuan looked at the mountains of food sacks in front of him and said: "Master, now we have been trapped in the mountains by the guard camp for more than a month. If we continue to be trapped, we will not be able to get supplies. I am afraid this food will only be enough for us to eat for more than a month.
It’s a month!”
"What, only enough for more than a month?" Lu Dan was shocked.
Lin Siyuan thought to himself that you are just a careless person. You don't even know how much food your family still has and how long it will last!
However, Lin Siyuan had long been accustomed to Lu Dan's style, so he stared at him and asked: "Master, how do you think the food problem should be solved?"
"Ah?" Lu Tang was at a loss for a moment, scratched his head and then said: "Mr. Lin, you also know that my brain is far worse than yours. If you ask this, you must have already thought of a solution in your heart, hahaha.
, Mr. Lin, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly..."
Lin Siyuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "Master, let's go out first..."
With that said, Lin Siyuan accompanied Lu Dan and walked outside.
After coming out, Lin Siyuan said to the person guarding the "grain warehouse": "Go and add some oil to the brazier inside, the fire is almost out."
"I know, Second Master." Someone immediately responded.
Lu Tang asked puzzledly: "Mr. Lin, I never understand. There is no one in this 'grain depot', so why do we need to keep lighting a brazier? It wastes fuel..."
Lin Siyuan explained: "Master, although this cave is still dry, the weather is changeable. If it goes on for a long time, the moisture will accumulate and increase. A brazier is lit inside to remove the moisture in the cave. It can
Let our food be preserved longer, you master!"
"Oh, so that's it..." Lu Chen suddenly realized, and immediately said: "Then let's put it this way, this brazier needs to be lit, it's worth it!"
Lin Siyuan did not continue this topic, but continued the previous topic and asked seriously: "Master, what do you think of Lintai Mountain?"
Lu Tang was stunned for a moment and suddenly didn't know how to answer Lin Siyuan, so he threw the question back: "Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
"I think Lintai Mountain is very good. It's a good place to settle down and run a business for a long time!" Lin Siyuan didn't shy away from it and directly expressed his thoughts.
Lu Dan was very surprised and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean, don't you want to break out of the encirclement?"
Lin Siyuan looked stern and asked: "Master, you have tried to break out of the encirclement many times. You know better than anyone whether it will work or not... Well, even if one day we fight to the death to break out and kill
If we go out, we will be hunted down by the army in the future, and it will be extremely difficult to find a suitable place like Lintai Mountain!"
Lu Tang thought about it carefully. He and his men failed to break through the encirclement many times, but even if they went back and hid in Lintai Mountain, the army could not attack. This is indeed a place where they can take root and operate.
Lin Siyuan said seriously: "Master, if you believe in me, you should stay here and become the king of the mountain!"
Lu Tang blinked blankly and asked: "But didn't you say that our food is only enough for more than a month? What about after a month, will we starve to death?"
Lin Siyuan suddenly smiled, shook his head slowly and said: "Master, it's not like we don't have money in our hands. Since we have money, why are we worried about not being able to buy back the food?"
