Chapter 466

The bandits must have their purpose when they capture people up the mountain. They can kill people at the foot of the mountain. There is no need to spend this effort to take people up the mountain and kill them again.

Since you can't find someone here, the person must be somewhere else.

"These rough houses are closest to the wall. If the imperial army comes to encircle and suppress them, this area will be the most dangerous place." Zhan Beihan whispered, "These houses should be used by patrolling bandits."

Xiao Lingyue thought for a while and agreed: "The people on the mail tower will change shifts, which means that the patrol and alert of these bandits are carried out by the team. I guess their patrol time will be day and night. A team of people will be withdrawn.

The other team will take the lead and come alternately, day and night."

Because of this, the bandits who hand over the shift need to have a temporary rest.

These are built near the walls. Although they are rough and simple, at least there is a bed to sleep in, they should be their "temporary dormitory."

Because I just have a sleep and don’t live here, there are no daily necessities here, only beds and quilts.

In addition, most of the bandits are rough men and live in the mountains all year round. The hygiene habits are worrying, which leads to the poor environment in the house and the smell is terrible.

"It's not just that." Zhan Beihan stood in the side shadow of a room.

By using the angles of the mountains and houses to cover them, you can not only see the blind spots of the sight, but also see the entire tilted copycat.

His eyes fell on the houses lined up one by one, one more and one more: "I suspect that this bandit village has a very strict hierarchy!"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Lingyue also stood in a blind spot, not afraid of being discovered.

"The entire village is built on the mountain, and all the houses are also moving up the mountain. The higher the location, the more difficult it is to build a house. It should be more simple, but you see--"

Zhan Beihan's eyes looked like a sword, and he pointed his hand at the top of the mountain, "The closer you are to the top of the mountain, the better the house will be, which is obviously different from the room below."

Xiao Lingyue raised her head and looked carefully: "It's true."

The overall layout of the bandit village is a bit like the Miao Tu Village, with the walls at the bottom and there is a not-so-spacious flat land.

Along the edge of the flat ground, there are many winding paths leading to the top of the mountain.

There are many layers of these paths, and each floor has scattered houses, some connected together, and some stand alone, looking very messy.

However, the higher the level, the bigger the house becomes, the wider it is, and it seems that this is where the bandits really live.

"It is much more difficult to build such a building in the deep mountains and forests than at the foot of the mountain, and it is not possible to build it in a day or two. Has this bandit village been around for a long time?" Xiao Lingyue said in confusion.

You should know that in ancient times, there was no help from building houses.

It can only be built by pure human resources.

All houses are made of wood. They need to cut down trees first, polish them into beams and wooden pillars, then lay the foundation, build the frame, and finally mix the roots/stems of the plants with appropriate wet mud to fill the walls, wait until they are air-dried

, it becomes a wall of earth.

Every step of this process requires people to complete. It is not easy to be at the foot of the mountain, let alone in the deep mountains and forests.

Moreover, this is just the worst mud house.

If you want to build a pure wooden house or a blue brick house, it will be even more difficult.

Blue bricks can only be burned in brick kilns in towns, but they are not available in ordinary villages or countrysides. These bandits have to find ways to transport bricks to the mountains before building houses.

Xiao Lingyue looked at the rows of large and grand blue brick houses on the top of the mountain, and felt that she could not even think about building them in just a few years.

"The bandit village has existed for decades. At the beginning, it was just a village. People lived in ordinary people who made a living by hunting and collecting herbs. Later, it was occupied by others and became bandit villages."

Zhan Beihan said: "The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, and it also flattened and burned all the buildings, but it was later rebuilt, which became like this."
