He had nothing to lose, and listening to the descriptions of the two little beggars, the meat buns must have been so delicious! He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and followed the little beggars all the way to the Taoyuan Gang where Lin Jiuxi was now setting up camp.

Taoyuan Gang was established on a small hilltop. The hilltop was not very high, but there was water in front and mountains behind. It was not far from the bridge to the city, and the mountain behind was very convenient for cutting trees and escaping.

The downside is that the house is a bit shabby.

These houses were built by my subordinates themselves. The level is not only comparable to that of today's engineers, but also cannot be compared with those houses in the city. At most, they are better than dilapidated temples, at least they can shelter from wind and rain.

Although it was shabby, it was a shabby new house and they didn't live there for long.

The sixty or so people who came with the little beggar couldn't help feeling disappointed when they saw such a dilapidated house.

But since we're here, we might as well have a meal before leaving.

They had eaten the buns, with oil still dripping from their mouths. Their stomachs were full, and they had more energy to talk.

Zhang Yi, holding a long spoon, knocked heavily on the big iron pot, which made a huge buzzing sound, quieting down the sixty-odd people.

Among these sixty-odd people, except for a few who had no parents and no relatives and stayed on the spot, most of them now rushed back to the dilapidated temple and carried out vigorous propaganda and mobilization.

Two women were steaming buns in the yard, and a few fierce-looking men were cooking a pot of thick porridge with pickled vegetables on the side. The aroma of the meat and vegetable buns immediately grabbed their attention.

Zhang Yi glared and puffed his beard to warn them, "We are following our boss! Our boss's surname is Lin, and his name is Lin Jiuxi. Don't make a mistake."

Who would think about whether something is worthwhile or not?

They followed the little beggar's instructions and continued to move forward. When they were about to approach the Taoyuan Gang's house, many people suddenly opened their eyes wide.

Anyway, no matter who you follow, it's better than following the King of Hell to death.

Some people quickly ran over and stretched out their pitch-black claws to try to eat the buns.

All I could think about were the buns, and my mouth was watering.

It’s a pity that there was no reinforced concrete in that era, otherwise it could be made stronger.

"Yes, we have thought it through. We want to follow Brother Zhang!" Many people cheered.

This time, Zhang Yi and the others did not stop them. They just asked them to line up with their bowls, two buns and a bowl of porridge per person.

Cooking is also a laborious task, and the two of them have to prepare food for more than a thousand people, which is something that even the most capable woman cannot do.

Lin Jiuxi originally wanted to burn some bricks to build a house. After all, this was more in line with her definition of a house.

They hadn't eaten for a long time, so even though the noodles were roughly made, they ate them with gusto and didn't dislike them at all.

They were starving, and two buns and a bowl of porridge were not enough to satisfy their hunger. Some people wanted to save the buns to take home for their relatives, and Zhang Yi and his men saw this but did not stop them.

Then, Lin Jiuxi found that there was not enough food! Wang and the cook also said that there were too many people and they were almost exhausted.

When the others saw that they really had something to eat, they no longer had any doubts. They all packed up their small luggage and followed them to the Taoyuan Gang.

Many people almost choked after taking a bite, but fortunately they all had porridge, and then drank a bowl of clear porridge. The smooth taste warmed their stomachs.

"Okay! Brother Zhang, we will follow you." Faced with the temptation of food, faced with the real choice between life and death, let alone justice, nothing is more important than life.

The Taoyuan Gang originally had more than 30 people, not a large number, so they built a few wooden houses to live in. They were originally released from prison. No matter where they lived, even if they lived outdoors, it was better than living in a red and smelly house like Lao Li, so they were not very particular about accommodation.

They don't care who they follow. They will follow whoever gives them food to eat and keeps them from starving to death.

It was too late to ferment the steamed buns, and Lin Jiuxi remembered the knife-cut noodles he had eaten before.

"If you stay in our Taoyuan Gang and listen to our boss, you will have buns to eat every day and you can eat as much as you want every day!" Zhang Yi also boasted: "Our boss is the kindest. If he didn't see that you were almost starving to death, why would he be so generous to help you? Just look at your small body, what can you do?"

"Go, the boss said, whether you join our Taoyuan Gang or not, you'll be treated to dinner today! But you have to wash your hands before eating." Zhang Yi was a big and strong man, he could fight three disaster victims at once, and his glare when he spoke scared them so much that they dared not move.

The buns are freshly made, half of them are filled with pork and eggs, and the other half are filled with various tofu and vegetables, all mixed with salt and sauce. The taste is delicious, the buns are thick and big.

This meal is considered a treat, but if you want to eat it again in the future, you have to join their Taoyuan Gang.

"Yes, having enough food and drink is the most important thing in the world. I'll go talk to my fellow villagers and ask them to come together."

Lin Jiuxi found that he had miscalculated, so he had to quickly send people to the city to buy flour and rice. By the way, he recruited a few women who knew how to cook from the disaster victims, fed them first, and then asked them to join in the cooking.

Now that this person has been called in, the issue of the house must be resolved immediately.

Fortunately, the river was not deep, so everyone washed their hands and rushed to the buns. The two who had fallen into the river also climbed up by themselves, fearing that the meat buns would be snatched away by others.

But now there are more than a thousand people, and there are definitely not enough houses.

Anyway, the buns are free. Although I don’t know what the rules about washing hands are, but being able to eat buns by just washing your hands is like pie falling from the sky.

Ask them to put the fermented and semi-fermented dough on the chopping board, use a knife to cut it into pieces of appropriate size, throw it into boiling water, and cook it into dough balls.

And now there is a more realistic problem facing us, that is housing.

It’s not enough to eat enough.

Fortunately, the weather is still hot, so Lin Jiuxi asked everyone to clean up the house and let the elderly, the weak and the sick move in first.

After a busy day, Lin Jiuxi found that he had spent two gold leaves just on entertaining them with food and drinks.

"We'll go too. We're almost starving to death. The city lord doesn't care about us anyway. If we follow Brother Zhang, we can live a few more days. Going up the mountain is a good thing!"

There were more than a thousand people, like a huge team, all gathered in the Taoyuan Gang.

The old members represented by Zhang Yi were certainly dissatisfied, but they were just civilians before they became prisoners, and many of them still had wives, children and old mothers. Looking at these old and weak people, they were not really dissatisfied. If they were really asked to live outside, they would just yell a few words and then lie on the grass together.

Of course, regardless of gender, age, ability or inability, whatever they had done before, all past events were wiped out, but once they arrived at Taoyuan Gang, they had to abide by the Taoyuan Gang's rules.

The rest of the people camped in the wild overnight.

But she didn't have the time to use bricks, so she had to divide the men into two teams, one team went to the mountain to saw wood and use the wood to build a house, and the other team went to dig soil and burn bricks to prepare to make a stronger brick house.

Although the weather is still hot now, it will always get colder and the wooden house is drafty.

It is also extremely unsafe. If a fire occurs in any house, the entire forest will surely be burned down.

The women were organized into a team and were responsible for making clothes and cooking. Those who knew how to make clothes used the cloth to make clothes, while those who didn't could help with the cooking or weave mats with reeds.

Only then did Lin Jiuxi realize that many of them actually went to bed early in the morning without even a mat, let alone quilts or the like.
