Chapter Eighty-Four: Recruiting Workers and Asking for All Kinds of Tickets
Among the four packages, each contained a small hook, two short axes, a Ganoderma lucidum about the size of a plate, and a ginseng that was more than a foot long and very thick and strong.
I know it's called a gift, and the little hook and the hatchet are also weapons for the evil lord and the dwarf.
The Evil Lord was pleased with the gift and asked us, "How is it?" I'm generous, right? ”
I glanced at the evil monarch and didn't answer, but I said in my heart that this is also called generosity? Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are barely okay, and as for the small hook and short axe, they really don't dare to compliment.
I also understand that the material of the hook and axe is not ordinary, and the question is that I don't want to think about it, what are we recruiting for? It is not an exaggeration to say that they are going to play with their lives, and if they only change this little hook and short axe in the end, they can agree that they are fools!
I guess the iron donkey was pretty much the same as I thought, he stared at the hook and the axe, uh uh a few times, but didn't say anything.
The evil king didn't bother with the issue of gifts, and told us about the specific matters of recruitment.
He has two requirements for workers (sailors), the first is to be strong and flexible, and the second is to have a good temper and obey the tube!
I agree with these two points, think about it, there are sails on the Sea King, if you don't have much strength or stupidity, you can't do this job at all, as for the service manager, this has nothing to say, how can you work if you don't obey?
What the evil monarch meant, Iron Donkey and I took the gifts for the islanders to see, and we also started to find people from these two aspects, conducted the preliminary examination and the re-examination, and handed it over to him for the final trial.
We thought it was okay, and it wasn't a tiring task, so we started to prepare immediately.
The iron donkey is good, so he goes first, and focuses on the assessment of physical fitness. He was very ruthless and skillful, and hung a big sign on the coast, on which he wrote a few lines with his own hand, and hung four sets of gifts.
It's just that the islanders only recognize traditional characters, and the iron donkey can't recognize all the simplified characters, let alone traditional characters, and his handwriting is also very sloppy.
Not long after the sign was hung up, a circle of islanders came to see, and they were all whispering and discussing, and I and the iron donkey were waiting on the side, hoping that someone would take the initiative to sign up.
But after a while, an old man took the initiative to ask on behalf of the audience, "Young man, what is written on this card?" Can you explain? ”
I said okay, I discussed with these people for a long time, did I ask each other if I understood it?
No way, the iron donkey roared again, told us what we meant, and he said the criteria for passing the first test.
The first item is more than climbing a tree. He pointed to an old tree with a waist-thin trunk in the distance, and asked the candidate to climb to the top of the tree and back again in two minutes.
The second is to move stones. The iron donkey has great strength, and he gets a big rock from the coast that is less than a hundred catties, and asks the candidates who pass the first item to hold the stone, walk a few steps and then put it down, which is considered to be passed.
After listening to it, my first reaction was that it seemed a little difficult for Brother Donkey to pass the conditions, and I looked at these onlookers, thinking that they would disperse in a hurry after reading the gifts and listening to the conditions.
But unexpectedly, they all liked the gifts of the Evil King, especially the hook and the short axe, and there were even quite a few who were eager to try it.
I was surprised and had the idea that either I didn't know the goods, and the hooks and axes prepared by the evil lord were rare treasures, or the islanders were all blind.
I think it's more likely that I don't know the goods.
I didn't care too much about it anyway, it just looked lively. The iron donkey was very busy, and when he used the pocket watch to remember, he would say congratulations to this candidate, brother, and if you went to the next round, he would shake his head at another candidate, and say sorry or something.
After half an hour like this, a strong guy finally passed the initial test. He is going to enter the re-examination link, which is my level.
In fact, I had already prepared, and set up a table and two chairs not far from the iron donkey's stall. Of course, this set of tables and chairs was taken down from the Sea King.
I sat at the table with the strong guys one after the other, and I was a little excited for the first time as an examiner.
Originally, I didn't think the re-examination was so difficult, didn't it just test the character? My little cold eyes are still okay, although they can't compare to Sun Monkey's fiery eyes, but when I ask questions, I can also compare the other party's quality.
Who knew that when I was so excited, I came up and asked, "This gentleman, which university did you graduate from?" What unit did you work in? ”
This stunned the strong guy, and it seemed that he didn't know what the university and the unit meant.
I, an examiner, can't always show my face in front of applicants, and I quickly change the topic, give full play to my nonsense skills, and talk casually about anything formal or informal......
By the end of the day, Iron Donkey and I were tired, but with the efforts of both of us, six of them successfully entered the final trial. I am very satisfied with this number, and I said that no matter how picky the evil monarch is, he can choose four out of six, which is enough for him to choose, and it is worth saying that these six are the elites that I Xiao Leng fancies.
Unexpectedly, after the evil monarch took the two dwarfs to repair the ship in the evening, he inspected the six people, and the result was a zero pass rate.
When I heard this result, I was incredulous, and I went out of my way to ask the evil king. I want to know how these six people are not qualified, and he has to give me an explanation.
The evil monarch didn't explain too much, just said a few words, anyway, he either thought that this look was impure, or that he was duplicitous.
I have an impression of these six people, and as soon as the evil monarch said this, I subjectively felt that he was too mean, but I also had a faint thought, and what the evil monarch said seemed to be reasonable.
I was still struggling with this for a while, and finally thought, forget it, I can't do this errand, otherwise it is very likely that I will be busy again tomorrow, anyway, the evil king has repaired the ship, and the matter of recruiting workers, wait for Ming'er to let him come by himself.
I found that the iron donkey had the same idea, and in this evening we were going to rest and sleep. The evil king and the two dwarfs still want to stay on the ship, which means that they will not have anything wrong with the Sea King this night.
Iron Donkey and I didn't want to sleep on the boat, and it just so happened that there were tents on board.
One by one, we pitched our tents on the shore. My brother and I didn't talk much, and after cleaning up, we went back to the tent and went to sleep.
I didn't look at the time, I guess it was in the middle of the night, and I was woken up by a sound outside. Actually, I still have a bit of sequelae, remembering the time I lived in a tent on Ghost Island.
A group of us were bullied by red-eyed spiders, I thought it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right? Another monster is coming to clean us up tonight?
But I suppressed my temperament, just sat up and didn't go out, wanting to taste it again.
The voice rustled, and soon it came to my tent. I could feel it was human. I simply asked, "Brother Donkey, is that you?" ”
He didn't answer, and then there was a click, and the man was still leaning against my tent.
Although my tent is military and quite sturdy, I can't help but lean on it alone, right? The whole tent is a bit deformed.
I was angry in my heart, and I said that this is definitely not Brother Donkey, it may be an islander, but who is so funny and doesn't sleep at night? Coming to this wilderness?
I grabbed a flashlight and a stick and got out of the tent. This stick is very ordinary, I found it casually from the Sea King and used it for self-defense.
I shined a flashlight on this man. At first glance, he was still an old man, but his lying position was a little tricky, and he rushed to the other side, leaving only his back to me.
I shouted a few more words, but he didn't squeak, and I thought about walking over and pulling him.
But as soon as I came to him, I shone my flashlight down, and I was stunned, there was a large pool of blood under his feet, and it was obvious that the blood was flowing from him.
I'm in a hurry, and I have a guess based on this amount of bleeding, if this old man is not rescued in time, he is likely to hang up.
I shouted at Donkey Brother and broke the old man's body again. When I looked at him head-on, I was stunned again.
He had a slap on his neck the size of a child's mouth, and it was deep into the bones. Don't talk about me, even if Da Luo Jinxian comes over, he can't save him.
The iron donkey didn't sleep too much, and when I yelled at him, he hurriedly crawled out of the tent. Originally, he asked me what was wrong? As soon as he saw this, he didn't say much, and hurried over.
I couldn't hold the old man all the time, so I put him on the ground again.
I also did a preliminary autopsy, especially when I saw that there was still blood on his neck, and I came to a conclusion, "This man had just died, and even committed suicide after lying on his stomach on the tent." ”
The iron donkey listened to me while observing the corpse, and he agreed with me, but then the problem arose.
Why did this old man die? In addition, the wound on his neck was obviously caused by a sharp weapon, and his hands were empty, where was the murder weapon used to commit suicide?
I looked around to look for it, when the iron donkey went around and looked around, his face sank, and he said to me, "Apprentice, this thing doesn't seem to be easy!" ”
