Chapter 0012: Begging and Work
【Roasted wolf meat (cooked)】
The militia respectfully handed the skewer to Adam, who had become their dependence.
There is a lot of game in the mountains, but poisonous snakes lurk in the fruit bushes, wolves and evil spirits roam the forests, and the weak homeless people are reduced to the bottom of the food chain.
Gradually, they lost their livestock, dry food, farm carts sank into swamps, their companions disappeared one by one, and hunger and cold led to a mental breakdown.
Long.
Finally, someone stepped forward and bowed their heads beside Adam.
"Thank you, kind lord, for saving our lives, can you get some food?"
The militiamen looked at Adam before he could make a decision, but the other side was just looking at the group of refugees, hunger had changed the color of the displaced people's complexion.
The women who had been weeping just now also pounced, and they did not dare to put their tears on Adam, but the delicate tone and humble gesture spoke for themselves—they begged to be taken in, and were willing to sacrifice themselves.
Adam tugged at the other party's loose cloth, her whole body was trembling, her face was pale, and her tone was helpless.
"Your Excellency...... I beg you ......"
Adam let go, stood up as if in anger, and pushed the begging outcasts to the ground.
"That's it? You almost died here together just now, but now I put my hand on her clothes in front of you, and you just have a look of lamenting fate! ”
He bent the waists of the homeless people with his eyes.
"Your arms are still there, you can still stand up, you have seven good lads, but I only have a few poles of wood and a piece of iron!"
Adam stared at the other's face full of shame, as if a drunkard was about to break a wine bottle before he could make a threat, and slammed his steel knife against the collapsed tree trunk.
The blade thudged in, and the tail buzzed and trembled.
"A few guys behind me are much more backbone than you, their lunches are hunted by themselves, and a few drops of blood can change the lives of hungry wolves."
The bandaged militiamen were especially proud, with a look of depth in their faces.
"In the same way, I will give you a job, cut the branches of the pins, cut them into javelins, and exchange ten for a piece of wolf meat!"
The apron in front of the woman was rudely ripped off by Adam, and before she could shed tears and figure out how to grit her teeth and lie in the grass, she was smashed in the face by a white dirty cloth.
Adam didn't intend to tear off his clothes, but tied them into a simple cloth pocket and threw them back.
"As for you, I'm sorry, but it's not enough to impress me outdoors. Would you like to pick some plants? Blue aconite, green parsley, as long as this bag is filled, you will have food to eat. ”
When Adam had finished speaking, he turned and sat down, and he stared at the crackling fire, listening to the sighs, the wails, and the cries......
It was a long time before the sound of steel knives being pulled out of the trunk of a tree with great effort, followed by the sound of footsteps in the distance.
The map shows that the blue dots behind him have dispersed, and Adam makes eye contact with the militia in front of him, who nods his head to indicate that these people are doing things obediently.
While the militiamen were eating barbecue, the first javelin was finally presented.
Adam checked it, his [Long Pole Weapon] and [Archery] are not top-notch, but the standard is not bad after all, and the good or bad can still be seen.
The wooden javelin was out of his hand, and the uneven shape made it writhe in the air, and the whole pole rolled sideways, rolling to the ground like a fallen drunk, a little far from the target, and not even lifting a bit of dirt.
【Defective wooden javelin】
"You may have misunderstood something,"
Adam's face sank instantly.
"Do I look like I'm giving to you, or wasting food with kindness? It's work, sir, work! If you do this to me, I promise to give you a good night's sleep! ”
The homeless ran away, and the rest of the people were much more careful.
Adam instructed a militiaman, picked up the javelin, drew his sword and cut it short, waved it in his hand, and swished!
Originally, there were also village women who wanted to be lazy, and they followed behind those who worked hard, and the aconite grass in their pockets might not be enough for a dish, and they wanted to show some more tears or expose a little when they bent over, in order to get the other party's tolerance.
But the sound of the wooden stick breaking in the wind was so terrifying that I felt that my flesh was tight and my heart was worried when I heard it, so I scattered one after another, and bent down to pick it up in more blue and green places.
Sitting on a rotten stake, Adam beckoned to the militiamen, whispered to a circle of people, and occasionally pointed in a certain direction, or to the iconic boulders and bushes in the distance.
The team scattered in all directions, and these six talents were Adam's real men now.
They were instructed to pick up their wooden spears, call back the wanderers who had gone away, pinpoint the hidden corpse whisperers, and stab the vipers in the flawless haystacks.
The militia limited the "work" of the homeless people to a certain area, and the distance was extremely precise, and even monsters roamed within sight, but no one was detected or attacked.
"Oh my God......"
The people who are immersed in their work are extremely shocked in their hearts, but in fact, the militia are also very touched.
"This mysterious gentleman must have grown up in the mountains, or is proficient in strange secret arts!"
[The homeless people are working according to your request, but Lin Hai is too dangerous for them. 】
Adam had a mini-map, and instructed his men to confine the outcasts to his [reconnaissance] range, and then eliminate the small threats lurking in the darkness, and the red dots wandering in the distance were also notified in time - and the miracle was born.
[Team morale rises, charm rises, management rises]
The first to finish the work was a woman, she had the lowest sense of presence, no fuss, no laziness, and the plants in her cloth pocket were separated as much as possible, and they were full.
"Good job, give her some clean water so she doesn't choke."
The woman crouched by the fire, holding the wolf meat in both hands, biting hard, and sobbing uncontrollably when she took the jar handed by the militia.
This scene reminds Adam of Jane, lamenting the difficulty of a woman's survival in this world.
In fact, he is generous to such down-to-earth people, and at the same time, he can't help but wonder if women are also releasing their own pressure when men seek pleasure with protection or materials.
Javelins and plants were delivered one after another, and Adam was basically satisfied, and he asked his militia to put away their guns in wolf skins.
The wolf meat is cut into small pieces and is already cooked to perfection.
Adam's stick didn't come in handy, just flicked it behind one of the least rewarding women, and raised his hand to let it go, considering that there was nothing left to pick up within the circle.
In the watchful eye of his men, there was no robbery, the ten men were divided into two circles and ate with tears in their eyes, and the militiamen did not feel guilty for helping to commit abuse, but were deeply grateful to Adam.
During this period of time, they have been killed and robbed, and even if they survive until Anton Weisen, they will inevitably beg to survive.
Adam's so-called "job" is not very difficult, and it has a personal personality.
Beggars, slaves, and commoners, within the lord or city-state, are always at the bottom, and their human rights are rarely cared about by decent adults.
And this generous gentleman is obviously also very capable!
So, the group begged Adam to take him in, and after receiving an affirmative answer, they were all relieved and had hope of getting out of this mountain range.
【7 Outcasts join your team】
【3 Village Women to join your team】
[Team: 16]
Because there were more people, rest and recuperation were inevitable, and after the afternoon nap, the six militiamen took on the heavy duty of standing guard at night, and in the flickering firelight, the militiamen with bandages on their arms opened their mouths to the homeless people.
Adam sat by his horse, the sloppied grass soft, and he could vaguely hear words like "grain," "cave," and "stronghold"—it seemed that the militia remembered last night's instructions.
The exclamation mark disappeared as we entered the mountain, and the surrounding map was shrouded in yellow, so you could still see it if you concentrated......
