Chapter XXXIX
The first problem was on Catherine's side, because the big girl was too keen on horseback riding, and the food distribution plan was not done well for several days in a row, resulting in a lack of food supply for the convoy. In order to make up for her "mistake", in addition to leaving the necessary guards, Milton and all the remaining men hurried to the hunt.
The work that used to be done by adults now has to be done by a group of children. So when it was time to eat, Catherine was seen with a group of children handing out reduced amounts of food to the crowd. And Catherine seems to be still in a mood, so much so that most of the work is done by the children.
Ostensibly, Catherine is closing her eyes to counter Milton's "distrust" of her. In fact, she is quietly recording the performance of each child - because today's food is only half of the normal amount, the problems that are usually covered by the abundance of food are all exposed at this moment! Those children are principled, those who want to be good people; Those children are stealing food, and those are stealing other children's food; Those who know to take care of people, those children are wasteful; Those kids are secretly storing, those kids are cliques......
and other strange phenomena that occurred in the distribution of food, all of which were completely recorded by Catherine and gathered here by Shen Yan.
Then it was replaced by Tiger taking the children to do the internal affairs of the convoy, and he deliberately broke up the small group that the children had formed in the past. After only a period of time, I found out who was working hard, who was cheating, who had leadership ability, who was living a perfunctory life, and so on. It can only be said that in the face of the indulgence in front of these adults, these children have completely released their "nature". Some are still in their true colors, and some have become arrogant. Completely forget that he is just an orphan of war who has been taken in, and there is no one here who can spoil you unconditionally.
Then something even stranger happened-the adults were unfortunately all poisoned during a hunt, and they vomited and diarrhea! So much so that the food crisis further expanded, and the lizard head had to take those half-grown children to hunt!
In the process of hunting, those who are really brave, those who dare to be brave only to the weak, those who are cowardly, those who are smart enough, those who are too vicious, and so on...... are all seen clearly. Then the lizard head followed Shen Yan's instructions and deliberately lazy - he did not praise the children who contributed greatly, nor did he criticize those who could only paddle. As a result, some of the children who contributed greatly gave up angrily, but some children stood up and took the initiative to take over the leadership of Lizard Head......
After collecting and sorting out a lot of information, what was summarized into Shen Yan's hands was a comprehensive profile of each child! When Shen Yan used some statistical analysis methods to deal with it, the situation of each child became clear at a glance.
Shen Yan's analysis is not choosing saints, he will not only pick those "kind" children to give praise. The wise and cunning are worth cultivating; A child who fights bravely while hunting, even if he bullies the weak internally, is not a big disadvantage; There are also those little villains who were caught this time, so that Shen Yan finally didn't worry about them being a bunch of stupid people in the future.
However, the largest number is still ordinary people who have no bright spots, a little cowardly and a little kind, occasionally have evil ideas, but do not have the courage and ability to implement them, such children account for the majority.
But there are also some "wonderful". How to say it, sure enough, as long as it's a piece of, it won't just smell bad! If a man is depraved, then he must have more than one bad quality—there are so many children—and in the worst of the categories, they are almost "at the top"!
Deceived and feared evil, likes to spread rumors, greedy, lazy, likes to say beautiful things, only deceives and cheats...... There is also one of them who is very hidden, and his performance is no different from ordinary children, and even better.
But he doesn't have any sense of morality! There is no faith either! Such people are terrible in this world.
When he found this person, Shen Yan was stunned! Damn, is there a future boss hidden in this team? Godslayer? You must know that this is not the world we live in, this is a world where there are gods staring overhead, even if there is no shameless aristocrats, they have their own moral concepts! But this kid has nothing, and it seems that in his beliefs there is only to live and do whatever it takes! And then there's endless greed! If he didn't have the shortcoming of greed, I'm afraid Shen Yan wouldn't have found him.
In the end, when Shen Yan handed over this thing to the Big Four, they were simply shocked! Shen Yan told them that this was based on the information they had gathered, with some "simple" analysis...... But no one believed him!
I don't read much, don't lie to me - what we provide is trivial things, but the one you take out now clearly has seen a person from the inside out! Are you a soothsayer?
This unknown mystery is simply terrifying! You are certainly not sent by God, you are God.
There is no way to explain, Shen Yan can only spread his hands, whatever you think about it - as long as you take the blame happily, we will always be good friends!
The Ranger assessment is another job interspersed with them, and it's nothing special. The main way for them is to fish for law enforcement, and there have been various "unpleasantness" between the Big Four in the past, just to attract ambitious people among them to take the bait...... As a result, I don't know if someone saw through it, or if these people are all rough goods. In short, they are doing well except for some minor faults! Moreover, these people were of similar origins to Milton, the kind that fed the whole family without starvation, and soon the people of the two legions were mixed together.
The main problem is the hundreds of children, the older ones are 14 or 5 years old and are close to adulthood, and the younger ones are just weaned. Shen Yan made an assessment, and the rest was left to Milton to decide, he no longer interfered, and worked hard to do a good job in the role of an idler.
Milton was also a resolute man, and only a day later, a dozen of the children he picked out were sold to multiple passing caravans!
In the future, they will become the servants of the shop, the servants of the nobles, and the ...... of the Qinglou carrying the big teapot No matter how bad the character is, it has its own whip to correct it, and there is no need for the people in the convoy to worry about it. They once had an opportunity, but they didn't take it, who can blame them?
And the one with obvious anti-human tendencies, Milton gave a group of passing mercenaries to a certain old mercenary as a stepson. That old mercenary has a good position in the regiment, and he must have accumulated some money, so this should be a good starting point. According to Shen Yan's words, if you are destined to be a big man in the future, we will not help you, but we will not create obstacles for you. The possibilities of the mercenary group are endless, boy, start your path against the sky!
After this incident, the atmosphere of the team has been completely renewed! Even those who rely on the old and sell the old have reined in their cheeks and become good at being people. After all, children still have value to sell, they ...... Not even the value of the sale.
Dare to make a fuss is estimated to be directly filled in the ditch!
In fact, they are scaring themselves, Shen Yan's suggestion is to keep these old people, and their experience is also a wealth - "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure" is not a joke. In this era when there is no socialization system education, everything depends on word of mouth. If the old man remembers what the child said, he may be able to save his life in the future! The moral character of these people is not very good, but they can survive to old age in troubled times, and the wisdom of survival must be respected!
By the way, in this day and age, the sale of children is barely considered charity, and it is basically carried out above board, even the church is a buyer and seller - the human trade is indeed extremely evil, but the merchants make a profit and let more people survive. Not much to say about this, you can refer to the allusion of "Zigong redeeming people".

"Xiao Yanyan, you do this...... Is it really good? Shen Yan's thoughts can be easily deceived from everyone, but he can't fool Penny, who shares his heart.
"Of course, there's nothing bad about it." Shen Yan leaned on the horse and seemed to be distracted, but he was actually discussing the problem with Penny very seriously in his heart. "After the night of the disaster, I thought about it a lot. At first, I was surprised that the man didn't come, and I was surprised that the gods really dared to risk the destruction of the world and fight a battle to defend it...... Later I found out that I had been thinking too much about it all along. ”
"Oh? Where? ”
"All of them, trying to figure out God's thoughts from a human point of view, are overthinking.
Why didn't the man come? Quite simply, maybe the timing is not coincidental...... God was in a daze, and it might have been a few years. How could he have timed it and attack again in seven days? For him, there should not be much difference between tomorrow and tomorrow in a hundred years.
The same is true for the gods. They dare to fight a war of annihilation because the human beings on the ground today are only one page in countless wars of annihilation! The gods can live indefinitely, anyway, as long as there are people alive and the planet is still suitable for survival, human beings will eventually reproduce again, so they have never lacked believers. This world has never been able to develop a high civilization, and I am afraid that in addition to the suppression of all aspects, the occasional catastrophe of destruction is also one of the reasons.
So take it a step further, if I am exposed, will the person who pursues me come tomorrow, or will he come tomorrow a hundred years from now? ”
"Well," Penny squirmed for a long time, finally admitting reluctantly, "the gods are slow to react...... But you can't let that stop, you know! "I also said that others, Ms. Huancheng stayed twice a year and stayed for half a year at a time...... It's all a joke.
"Don't worry, I won't. I just don't want to hide like a mouse, and I'm already running away before anyone else starts digging in the ground...... That's inferior! Shen Yan tightened the reins of the horse and said confidently. I just want to see how far I can go! What can I bring to the world, I'm going to surprise the world! ”
