Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Have Something to Ask You
"Oh? This was engraved by the sixth brother. As for what it means! You don't need to know either, don't you? Anyway, in your heart, we are 'anti-thieves', anti-thief things, you know it's useless. Li Aiming replied to Kai-Fu Lee.
"There's nothing wrong with you saying that, it's me who has a lot to do. Let's move on! Li Kaifu replied a little helplessly
"Hmm... Let's go! Li Aiming responded simply.
The houses at the foot of the mountain are carefully planned, so although the houses are simple mud brick houses, they are neat and consistent, and they are particularly ornamental to people in this era.
On the way, there were many people who knew Li Aiming and Zhong Baoguo, and when they saw their arrival, they all greeted them one after another, and occasionally joked and laughed.
Li Kaifu looked at them talking and laughing so much, and he had an indescribable feeling.
It's the same mud legs. Why are the mud-legged people in other places indifferent and even afraid of their green battalion soldiers, but the team members here are so valued and respected by them?
Why are the mud legs in other places all looking like they have lost their energy and are numb. But the mud legs here are so vibrant?
Why doesn't the mud legs look like a person anywhere else, but the mud legs here seem to be hopeful for the future?
Li Kaifu doesn't understand, does he Zhang Rui really have such ability?
In the thoughts of Kai-Fu Lee, the three of them walked all the way to the area where the house was still being built.
Suddenly, Li Kaifu saw one of his green battalion soldiers carrying mud bricks shirtless. With him were several other Green Battalion soldiers who were also under him, and several of them were chatting loudly about something.
When Li Kaifu saw this scene, he was immediately angry in his heart.
"This Zhang Liu actually dares to treat his soldiers as slaves to work? Is it in vain that we have to pay every day? ”
Angry, Lee Kai-fu wanted to ask his soldiers what kind of "abuse" they were subjected to. It's good that I will go back and report to General Guerjia when the time comes, and then deduct some silver from Zhang Rui.
So, he quickly walked to the green battalion soldier who was building a house.
But before they could reach it, they were heard shouting, "Hurry up, everyone, come on." Don't let the 'slow hands' next to us overtake us, then lose people. ”
When Li Kaifu heard them call like this, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
When he arrived, the green battalion soldiers also discovered Li Kaifu. Hurriedly put down the work at hand, regardless of the mud stains on the ground, he knelt down and saluted to Li Kaifu
"General, why are you here? Did you come and ransom us back? ”
Seeing this, several green battalion soldiers who were still laying bricks near this green battalion also came over and bowed down to Li Kaifu.
Slowly, the other green battalion soldiers discovered the situation and also came over to bow down to Li Kaifu.
Such a commotion certainly attracted the attention of the members patrolling the surrounding area. Later, Li Aiming, who was next to Li Kaifu, explained to them, saying that it was the meaning of the sixth brother, and they left.
When they left, they also warned Li Kaifu and asked him to pay attention to it, so as not to make a big mess and it would be difficult to clean up. At the same time, he instructed Li Aiming and the two to look at Li Kaifu and not let him mess around.
Fortunately, there are not many green battalion soldiers who noticed the arrival of Lee Kai-fu.
Of course, there are also some people who ignore the arrival of Kai-Fu Lee, and continue to work there as if they were laying mud bricks or building roofs. looked at the green battalion soldiers who were kneeling down to Li Kaifu, and there was a smile on his face.
Li Kaifu fixed his mind and saw that it was actually a Manchurian soldier.
Li Kaifu couldn't help but be shocked at this moment, if Governor Yang and General Guerjia knew, their full battalion soldiers would also be called as slaves. Then they can't blame me?
"This Zhang Rui is really bold, and he is really a thief who is not afraid of death. Even the Manchurian uncle dared to be a slave. ”
I saw that Li Kaifu was a little angry and asked the first green battalion soldier kneeling in front of him, "What's going on?" Did Zhang Rui drive you over to work and call you as slaves? Why don't you resist. ”
"Returning to the general, it wasn't the sixth brother who forced us to work, we did it voluntarily." The Green Battalion soldier replied with his head slammed on the ground
"Voluntary? What's going on? Are they like that too? ”
After listening to the words of the green battalion soldier, Li Kaifu was confused. I saw him point to the Manren, who seemed to be speeding up his work, and asked him
"Yes, on the first day they came to work, we thought we were going to be slaves, and we worked for nothing. But we are captives after all, and we can't say anything more. The Green Battalion replied
"They told me that they were paid for the work. Who would believe that anyone would pay the captives? This captive is not beheaded, and it is very good to work to feed his mouth, where can he dare to expect wages? General, you say yes! ”
"Well, that's right." Kai-Fu Lee also felt that this was a natural thing
"The adults also felt the same way, which means that we must not have thought wrong at the time." The green battalion soldier was very happy to hear Li Kaifu's affirmation. And then he said
"But, on the first day, after we finished our work. They actually paid us wages, and they paid them at the end of the evening. Some people have a hundred mosquitoes, some people only get a few dozen mosquitoes, and some have more than ten yuan. I heard that it has something to do with the diligence of work. ”
"Is it really your wages?" Li Kaifu was a little incredulous and asked again
"It's true, and we can't believe it. But the money is in hand, can there be fake? The green battalion replied
"Our sixth brother has always been true to his words and never empty words." At this time, Li Aiming on the side couldn't help but interject
"Yes, yes. The captain was right. At this time, the green battalion soldier who was still kneeling on the ground replied to Li Aiming's words, with some flattery and envy in his tone.
Li Kaifu saw the two people standing and kneeling, so clearly about this. suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, although the green battalion soldier knelt for himself, but he also knelt to talk to Li Aiming.
"Why do you want my soldiers to answer you on their knees?"
So, Li Kaifu ignored Li Aiming's words, but said to the green battalion soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground: "Everyone get up!" Do whatever you have to do now, and I'll take you back tomorrow. ”
"Yes, sir."
………
The Green Battalion soldiers kneeling on the ground replied, and then they all got up and walked away slowly.
Li Kaifu watched everyone leave one after another, and paid a little attention. Some people heard that they could go back tomorrow, but they still showed some reluctance?
Kai-Fu Lee felt very strange. So, just as the Green Battalion soldier who had replied before was about to leave, he said to him: "That, you, stay first." I have something more to ask you. ”①
