Chapter 46: One of Us

  Li Kui habitually patted his lower back, where he used to carry his axe. He said to me, "Hey, where are we going now?" I don't like interacting with these people who have worked at the detention center before, they're too rude!

  I asked Lu Junyi: "What do you think, Lu?"

  "Which one of you is the most fun?" said San Niang.

  "Let's eat first," said Zhang Qing.

  Lin Chong said: "I think I'll go down first."

  I have two big ones, it seems that Song Jiang didn't come is really a problem, this group of people are seriously organized but undisciplined and don't take the Lu Dou Bao as their staple food. Someone in the crowd said impatiently: "Why not split up and walk separately, give a place name and we'll meet up tonight."

  I saw someone had already walked past me, I tightly grabbed him and shouted: "Brother, let's go back to our place first before we're free to do what we want, that place is a bit out of the way..."

  The man I caught struggled hard, and I begged him, "Will you follow me back to my place first?"

  The man said: "No way, I have a girlfriend..."

  I looked at Lu Junyi, and Lu Junyi also looked at me. I said: "Boss, you advise him."

  Lu Junyi hesitated and said: "We can't help you with this."

  "Isn't he one of you?"

  Lu Junyi looked back and said: "All our people are accounted for."

  ……

  I finally managed to persuade them to agree to go back to our place first, and the guy who was waiting for his wife also came out. He hastily left me a business card and then reunited with his wife, saying on his way out that he really wanted to join our club.

  I led the 54 people through the train station to a nearby long-distance bus station, rented a large bus, and stood at the door counting one by one. When I counted to 53, I was shocked and sweated. After asking, I found out that Double Gun had climbed in through the window because Dong Ping thought it was too hot.

  I didn't relax until I counted the number of people again, and only then did I appreciate our teacher's suffering. Our elementary school organized a tour, and I really shouldn't have been making trouble all along the way. I stood at the front of the bus, just about to say a few words, when a thin man suddenly stood up, covering his pocket and shouting: "My wallet is gone! My wallet has been stolen!" I quickly walked over to ask him what was going on.

  "Just now it was still in the pocket......" As soon as he said this, the thin man suddenly put his hand directly out of his pocket, and it turned out that someone had used a knife to cut open the pocket and steal the wallet.

  I comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll give you back however much money you lost."

  The thin man sitting behind him chuckled and said, "This kid actually got robbed and still has the nerve to talk."

  I had an idea and asked Xiaozi: "What should I call you?"

  The thin man said awkwardly: "Shi Qian..."

  I almost spit it out: the ancestor of the thief let the grandson steal. But this is also good, give these people a preventive shot, let them know what it means for the times to progress and technology to develop, the train station is full of hidden dragons, slightly careless and deserves to lose.

  "My ID card is still in there."

  I curiously asked: "Where did you get your ID card?"

  Shi Qian whispered: "Liu Laosix gave us a fake one."

  The old man in front turned his head and said, "It's okay, I'll find a radish to carve another one for you, and let Xiao Ran write the words on it. No one will be able to tell."

  I looked at the old man with a suspicious gaze, and the old man nodded slightly towards me: "Xinghui, Yu Bei Jiang Jin Dajian." Then he pointed to the white-faced man beside him, "This is Shengshou Shusun Xiao Rang."

  You're right, these two are a perfect match, they can handle everything from making seals to issuing certificates, all in one go, except for buying some plastic wrapping paper, they don't need anyone else's help.

  Alas, all the capable people of Liangshan who are good at thievery and robbery have arrived this time.

  The car arrived at the place and I could see the 300 Yuejiajun's tents at a glance. At first, I was also quite surprised, but later I thought that they now have an enlightenment teacher, so it's probably not very convenient to show off their military style.

  54 good men got off the bus, I pointed to the construction site not far away and said to them: "In the future, that will be our old nest." Flute Three Mother curled her lips and said: "This is too biased, buying a ticket for clothes takes so long on the bus?" Wu Yong looked at the terrain and said: "Why not build by the mountain, this place is isolated and unsupported, easy to attack and difficult to defend?" These bandits just look at problems differently, always thinking of hiding in a safe place to harm others.

  "Is there water nearby?"

  I called Laozi over and said to him, "Isn't there an abandoned pond in our school that we can turn into a swimming pool? We'll discuss the money separately." Then I glared at him, "You're the one who got me into this mess with these 300 students, aren't you?"

  Lazi saw a group of people coming again and said anxiously: "Qiang Ge, what are you going to do? Why am I so uneasy?"

  I waved my hand to shoo him away, the rascal's kids are already in elementary school, he's a person from the late 1960s, daring to fight with me an 80s kid, the old rascal got beat by the young rascal. But now I also avoid those born in the 90s - those born after 2000 will take revenge on me.

  Then it's time to solve the problem of eating, actually I was thinking of leading them to eat first, but since I found out they like listening to Cao Fang and Xu Wei's songs, I changed my mind. Hainan, that legendary good place, has already made this group of people have a strong petty bourgeoisie sentiment, these guys are simply like a group of tourists who specialize in eating tour groups, leading them to eat stir-fried pancakes is just waiting for them to close the door and play with Jingzhu (Golden Retriever).

  Eating well is still affordable for now, but I've come to realize that I need to be more frugal. Luckily, I didn't buy the Hummer, which has helped ease things a bit. For the first time, I understand why money always seems insufficient - even billionaires would struggle to spend it all if they lived in commodity housing, drove a Golden Cup, and used Shu Fu Jia lotion and Lan Tian Xiang perfume. One's lifestyle is determined by one's social status, just like how I've stopped smoking soft-pack White Sand and switched to Red Cloud.

  Fortunately, there is plenty of food and vegetables have been bought from Lai Zi's second uncle. All the pots, pans, and utensils are ready. I was planning how to get everyone started on cooking when Zhang Qing said to me: "Don't waste your effort, look at us, who among us knows how to cook?" Only then did I realize that these people, although called bandits, were actually high-ranking generals, each commanding thousands of men, and it's impossible for them to be like those country bumpkins, with their daily food and clothing taken care of by servants.

  Lin Chong said to Yue Jiajun who was cooking: "Tell them to make more, we'll go over and eat later." From the tone of his voice, it's clear that they're giving him a huge favor by going over to eat.

  It was only later that I realized Lin Chong had indeed spoken out of kindness, for the heroes and the Yue Family Army had some minor conflicts in the underworld, and although they had never clashed or met during the Song Dynasty, one side were surrendered bandits while the other were regular government troops, so it was normal to have some resentment between them. Lin Chong had actually come up with this plan because he saw me in a difficult situation, which made the heroes feel somewhat wronged.

  Xu Delong came over to greet the people from Liangshan after he saw them, his intention was very clear, hoping that both sides could coexist peacefully. The Yue Family Army obviously did not want any trouble and only wanted to complete their unknown mission. After I told Xu Delong about the food, he smiled and said: "Small matter, I'll have someone deliver it to them after it's done."

  There was another problem with the allocation of tents. The standard for these tents is that they can sleep 5 people, and I bought 100 of them, thinking it would be enough. But it turns out that even when marching and fighting, each of the leaders of Liangshan still has a tent to themselves, so they don't listen to the idea that one tent can sleep 5 people.

  300 of the Yue Family Army plus 5 tents used as storage warehouses, leaving only 35 tents. This time I don't care, anyway there are just so many, can't spoil them anymore! The last group of people forced me to be anxious, I jumped and shouted: "Want a tent? No way! Want a life? One!"

  The good men were taken aback for a moment, then they all burst out laughing: "So he's one of us after all!"
