Chapter 622: The Villagers' Fears
Knowing that Zhao Guoqing and the Timberwolves were willing to take back the dam and hand it over to everyone to manage, Bailey was so excited that he almost fainted, and he couldn't wait to tell the rest of the town the good news.
Someone.
The jungle wolf turned his head to look at the door, but Zhao Guoqing looked at the jungle wolf.
Zhao Guoqing's mission to enter the town directly with the Timberwolf was not to assist the other party, but to observe its performance more intuitively, while Susan and the others were reserve personnel to prevent any accidents.
Relying on advanced martial arts cultivation, Zhao Guoqing was aware of it when someone approached this house, and almost at the same time, the Jungle Wolf also noticed this, which was enough to show the superiority of its performance.
This is actually very simple for the Timberwolf, who has many abilities to detect the approach of people from outside.
For example, the voice-activated system and the thermal system, he can even see through the walls outside.
Of course, these are just the basic settings for the Timberwolves, which can be used in conjunction with other settings to play a better role.
Zhao Guoqing's task is not simply to check the operation of these systems, but more to observe how the Junglewolf is handled during the battle, and finally decide whether he is suitable to carry out the mission with everyone through a comprehensive evaluation.
"Dangdangdang." There was a rhythmic knock at the door.
"You must have come here to thank you." Bailey preached cheerfully, and jumped over and opened the door.
The knock on the door was a white-haired old man with a wooden cane, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, and who seemed to be in good spirits.
In addition to the old man, Zhao Guoqing noticed that there were thirty or forty people standing behind him, and most of these people were people who had appeared in front of the waterwheel before.
said that these were to say thank you, Zhao Guoqing was a little unconvinced, because the eyes of these people did not have the previous sense of thanks, but were full of horror and guilt.
"Grandpa Ettore!" Bailey exclaimed with surprise on his face.
Ettore tapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Little Bailey, I heard that the mercenary you are looking for has arrived?" ”
"Oh yes." Bailey hurriedly answered, and said, "Grandpa Ettore, they are in the house, come in if you want to see them." ”
"No, I'm not going in." Ettore replied, glancing into the room as he spoke, and had already seen Zhao Guoqing and the Timberwolf sitting inside, but pretended not to see anything. "Vico."
A strong man in his forties who was following Ettore immediately stepped forward, carrying a cloth bag in his hand. He didn't say anything, just stretched the cloth bag in his hand towards little Bailey.
Ettore then spoke: "Little Bailey, this is the reward that everyone promised you before, and now you can take it and give it to them." ”
"Grandpa Etor, I.. I don't understand something. Little Bailey looked at the bag full of money, but didn't reach for it.
"Boom!" Ettore lifted his wooden staff and slammed it on the ground, and shouted in a slightly angry tone, "Little Bailey, do you really not understand or pretend not to understand?" ”
"I... I really don't understand. Little Bailey replied, bewildered.
After taking a breath, Ettore said emotionally, "Okay, if you really don't understand, I'll explain it to you!" Everyone promised you to raise money to hire mercenaries because they thought you would find many people to help us, but what happened? Two! There were two of them! ”
"I ask you, what can two people do?"
"You don't know how many people there are under Haron!"
"Can the two of them deal with Haruon?"
"I, Ettore, have lived so long, and I've seen a lot of things, and they're just trying to cheat some money."
"Little Bailey, you can just give them this money. Although everyone doesn't have any money in their hands now, they are not short of this money! ”
"They beat Ha Lung's men before, or it won't be long before Ha Long will retaliate, so let them get out of town quickly!"
..
After listening to so much, Zhao Guoqing understood what the other party meant, and there were roughly only two points.
First, these people don't believe that Zhao Guoqing and the Jungle Wolf are capable of handling this matter.
Second, they were afraid of retaliation from Haroon.
Little Bailey stood there angry and embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said, "They just promised to help us retake the dam and hand it over to everyone to manage, so that our future water problem can be completely solved, and when the time comes..."
"Little Bailey, don't you still understand?" "They can't help us, they're just going to help us." ”
"Grandpa Ettore!" Little Bailey shouted, trying to convince the other party, but the other party gave him this opportunity at all.
Ettore interrupted Bailey and shouted, "Shut up, give them the money at once, and get them out of town!" Otherwise, you can leave town with them! ”
Bailey was stunned for a moment, Ettore was the person he respected most in his life besides his father, and at this time...
A large hand was placed on Bailey's shoulder, and Bailey looked up to see that it was a timberwolf dressed like a cowboy.
"I'm sorry." Bailey was so sad that he almost cried, wondering why everyone didn't want to believe that these two could help them retake the dam. Didn't they just help you recapture a water wheel not so long ago?
The Timberwolf smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on Ettore.
Because the Timberwolf is a robot, its eyes look cold, which is also deliberately set by Danny in order to add a bit of murder to the Timberwolf.
"You.. What do you want? Ettore shuddered, and almost fell to the ground without being frightened.
"You want us to get out of here?" Timberwolf asked.
Ettore breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice was still trembling, "It's not that we're going to drive you away, but that your stay here will only affect the people in the town, and Ha Long will definitely take revenge on here!" ”
"You think the same way?" The Timberwolf then looked at the man behind him.
At first, the people were reluctant and afraid to speak, but at the suggestion of Ettore, they expressed their thoughts, and they were indeed afraid of Halon's retaliation.
Timberwolf shook his head and smiled, "Unfortunately, none of you are my hires, and there is only one person here who can cancel this mission and let me evacuate." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Bailey, and he said with a straight face, "I came here because of your employment, and I will only leave here if you ask for the mission to be lifted, otherwise I will definitely complete this mission!" ”
Bailey was stunned for a moment, then understood what the timberwolf meant.
"Little Bailey!" Etore exclaimed excitedly.
Little Bailey looked up at the kind faces of the past, then at the determined timberwolf, gritted his teeth and said, "Since everyone is so afraid, then I will leave the town with them." ”
Everyone present was very surprised, and Ettor was also stunned for a moment, he had watched Bailey grow up from a baby, and he didn't really want to get Bailey out of town.
"Little Bailey, you have to think clearly, your father died at the hands of Harlon, aren't you afraid that he will also die at the hands of that guy?" Ettore reminded that he hoped to change Bailey's mind.
At the mention of his father's death, Bailey was terrified, but then replaced by anger.
"Grandpa Ettore, you're right. My father died at the hands of Haroon, and I am afraid of dying at the hands of that fellow. However, it is precisely because of these that we must take away the halon and reclaim the dam that should have belonged to us in the first place, and only then can we live! The more Bailey spoke, the more excited he became, he paused to breathe a sigh of relief, looked at the people present, and then said, "Please rest assured, from now on, dealing with Haroun is my Bailey's business, I will never affect anyone, and if the dam is taken back, my Bailey will never take it for himself!" ”
Hearing Bailey's words, many people, including Ettore, lowered their heads in shame, each of them was older than Bailey, but none of them had Bailey's courage.
Bailey squeezed out a wry smile on his face, turned back to the Jungle Wolf and Zhao Guoqing and said, "I'm really sorry, it seems that we can't stay here for the time being, can you go somewhere else with me?" ”
The jungle wolf nodded, and Zhao Guoqing, as an observer, naturally did not object.
Seeing that Bailey was really leaving, Ettore excitedly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Bailey! ”
"Grandpa Ettore, is there anything else you can do?" Bailey looked back and smiled, he was already more open than he had just looked, he was really an optimistic boy.
"No.. It's nothing. Ettore originally wanted to keep Bailey, but when he thought of Halon's revenge, he flinched, his body trembled, and he withdrew his hand and said, "Be careful." ”
"Hmm!" Beyin nodded forcefully, a sunny smile on his face, and said goodbye to the townsfolk along the way.
The more Bailey did this, the more the cowardly residents felt like a whip in their hearts, but they did not have the courage to stand up with Bailey to resist.
Leaving the town, the smile on Bailey's face is gone, he grew up here, and it is inevitable that he will be sad and sad not to have the support of the townspeople.
"You don't blame them, everyone has their own moments of fear. They're just afraid of retaliation from Haron, and they don't really support you. Timberwolf reassured.
"I know." Bailey nodded, he was a sunny teenager after all, the depression just now was swept away, and he asked excitedly, "Tell me, how do you plan to recapture the dam?" ”
The Jungle Wolf turned his head to look at Zhao Guoqing, and after a little hesitation, he said to Bailey: "There is something I must explain to you clearly. ”
"What's the matter?" Bailey asked curiously.
"This mission is my own mission." The Timberwolf said with a serious expression.
"Huh?" Bailey was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to move his gaze to Zhao Guoqing, "You mean that he won't go with you to seize the dam?" ”
The Timberwolf nodded.
