Thirty-ninth round: Advance team of refugees
Mancheroni felt that he was really old, and after two days of walking in a bumpy carriage under the scorching sun, his whole body had fallen apart.
I think back then, I was an elite soldier who could be fully armed, carry a weight of 100 catties, march 80 miles in one breath, and immediately enter the battle!
But that was the old yellow calendar thirty years ago, and now he has long since left the military and has been digging in the soil for half his life.
But he has always believed that although he no longer has the strength of his youth, he still has the observation power of an elite warrior when he was young.
That's why he decided to personally join this refugee advance team and go to Weishan City, which was said by the recruiting officer, to see if it could really become a safe place for his family.
"Bunnies, take care of your mothers! When he left his family, who had fled from the north to Pine Springs, he instructed his three exhausted sons.
Although he suffered a lot along the way, suffered a lot of blows, finally arrived in Songquan City and couldn't find the relatives he wanted to take refuge into, and his life almost fell into despair, he still wanted to try his luck again, although he felt that the conditions said by the recruiter were a little too good to be outrageous, and it was very much like a scam.
Anyway, it can't be broken anymore, give it a try and see what you have to lose!
If you arrive in Weishan City and find that this is just another ruthless blow, then you can only go back to Songquan City to take refuge in a nobleman's house as a slave.
Even if that means his family will become the private property of the noble lord and completely lose his freedom, at least he can survive, right?
But Mancheroni's heart felt extremely painful, the pride of being a warrior, and he could not accept the situation of being sold into slavery.
Fortunately, there are no young female dependents in the family except for an old woman, otherwise, the unbearable situation after selling himself into slavery is really unbearable, and he has seen too many such examples recently.
Because of poverty, his three sons have never been able to marry wives, and now it seems that it has become a good thing, and there is a lot less possibility of humiliation.
Skinner, an old neighbor who fled to Pine Springs together, had just sold his family into slavery to the lame baron's family who had been wandering around the refugee camp all day.
As a result, only three days later, his little granddaughter, Manley Jr., who had watched her grow up since childhood, and the good girl with blonde hair, always smiling sweetly, and only fourteen years old, committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
It is said that during these three days she was insulted countless times by the ugly lame baron, and that the beast called her friends to insult her.
Duckweed-like refugees are cheap delicacies delivered to the mouths of nobles, and they are the blood food for their carnival feasts.
Skinner fell to his knees with his drenched little granddaughter in his arms, his empty, desperate eyes lingering in front of Mancheronny's eyes.
Damn the Dawn Man!
Damn the aristocracy!
Mancheroni spat hatefully and cursed inwardly.
At this moment, he saw Weishan City in the distance, and the large wheat fields outside the city.
He jumped out of the car at once, but his old legs were weak and he almost didn't stand firmly.
But he didn't care, and almost ran to the edge of the wheat field, and many people in the advance team did the same.
The recruiter who had sent them to Weishan City didn't stop them, just looked at them with a smile.
"What a wheat field!" said Mancheronny, sighing softly.
The ears of wheat have been filled and ripe, and the leaves have all turned yellow, and it will be ready for harvest in three or five days.
Mancheroni gently twisted a few grains of wheat into his mouth, chewing and moaning as he could.
The wheat kernels are full and sweet, this is the best wheat, and only fertile land with careful management can produce such good wheat and have such a high yield.
In the wheat field, there are several figures working.
We have to ask if these fields are really divided into personal names, as the recruiter said, and only 30 percent of the harvest needs to be handed over.
Mancheroni parted the dense wheat plants and walked towards the nearest old farmer, who also straightened up to look at the strange group of uninvited guests.
At the moment when their eyes met, both of them were stunned.
"Mancheronny!, is that you?" asked the old farmer, looking at him in disbelief.
"Brother Stiller!, it's you!" exclaimed Mancheroni.
The two hugged tightly and slapped each other on the back vigorously.
"Lord God, I can't believe I'm here to meet you. Mancheroni looked at Stiller's father and sighed, "I haven't seen you in thirty years, my old captain, how did you end up here." ”
"It's hard to put into words!" Stiller sighed with a smile and asked, "What about you, how did you come to Weishan City, I remember that after the war, you will return to your military hometown, Luxi County in the north." ”
"The Dawning Army invaded Luxi County and burned down our village, and I led my family to escape with great difficulty. We fled to the snow-besieged city, but there was no place to stay. I wanted to come to Songquan City to join a distant cousin of my wife, but I couldn't find out his whereabouts. A few days ago, I saw a recruitment notice for Weishan City in Songquan City, so I wanted to take a look. Mancheroni said.
"It seems that we didn't beat these robbers hard enough back then, and we forgot the pain after only 30 years. Father Stiller shook his head, but immediately grabbed Mancheronny's arm, "Old man, you've come to the right place this time." The Baron of Weishan City is a good lord I have never met. Hurry up and bring all the family in, just in time for the drought-tolerant oats planting season. ”
"Okay, when I'm settled in Weishan City, let's talk about it!" Mancheronny nodded heavily.
Half of the advance team of refugees got up and returned without even entering the city.
These returnees were all in a hurry to return to Songquan City to bring more relatives and friends.
......
On Weishan, only one-third of the façade was originally built with houses, and it is estimated that it can accommodate 3,000 residents.
After the siege of Weishan City, the original inhabitants were slaughtered, and the later military households were only 1,000, and there were many vacant houses.
So, when the refugees began to come to Weishan City in an endless stream, there were places to settle them.
Even if all the empty houses are filled in the future, there are still two-thirds of the places on Weishan that can be built, and it is estimated that 10,000 households and about 50,000 houses can be built in the whole of Weishan.
Every day, nearly 100 families of refugees come to Weishan City, and the staff of the City Lord's Mansion headed by Darigori are extremely busy, arranging everything for these newcomers.
Weishan City is getting more and more lively.
......
Dark Fragrance returns as scheduled, bringing with her four new enchantresses.
Renya, in her thirties, has a gentle and friendly temperament, is of Flying Deer tribal blood, and has the ability to speed up the healing of the wounded person's wounds.
Zhu Li, twenty-seven or eight years old, has a generous and simple temperament, and is of aardvark tribal blood, and can manipulate earth and rocks to shape them into arbitrary shapes.
Dao Na, twenty-four or five years old, a tall and sturdy female man, of Shanzhen tribal blood, has a hearty temperament, has big nerves, and has the ability to strengthen her own strength, and is proficient in swordsmanship and fighting.
Shanni, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little Lori, of the Spiritbird tribal blood, looks timid, but if she activates her ability, she can be as fast as lightning, instantly crossing a distance of thousands of meters, like teleportation.
It's an orchestrated squad with Darkincense tasked with spotting hazards in her path and covering her teammates in enemy encounters with Thana.
If a teammate is injured, Renya will rescue and heal him.
In the event of difficult-to-pass terrain, it is up to Tsukuri to create a passage, and of course, she can also cut off the enemy's pursuit route.
And if the team is in a very dangerous situation, Sannie will be able to show her skills, as long as she makes physical contact with her, she can teleport with her to the distance, and get out of the encirclement in an instant.
It was the cooperation of the five members of the team that allowed them to sneak from the snow-besieged city to the south without danger.
After they demonstrated their abilities one by one, they all ushered in a strong or weak magic backlash.
Gao Ge couldn't wait to "pick yin and make up yang" with them one by one.
When they felt that the magic that would normally torture them to death disappeared as soon as they appeared, they all cried with joy and were grateful to Gao Ge.
Especially the older Renya and Zhuli, who simply regarded Gao Ge as a life-saving benefactor.
Although in the sorority, there is a common mentor who teaches them to use their abilities as reasonably as possible, so that the degree of backlash they experience grows more slowly, but they have also reached a critical point, and they will soon reach the level of demonization.
At that time, they had only one way to end up with themselves, which was also the final and inevitable fate of the sisters.
Unexpectedly, when they were already desperate, they suddenly regained their vitality, how could they not be grateful.
But when they all wanted to treat Gao Ge as a relative, only Dark Xiang watched coldly as always, and didn't look at him differently at all.
"Miss Dark Fragrance, don't you really need me to relieve you of the backlash?" asked Gao Ge.
"I've said I don't need it. Dark Xiang frowned.
Seeing this, the other demon girls looked at each other, and Renya stepped forward and pulled Dark Xiang into the distance, and after some exchange of ears, she shook her head and walked back.
"Let her go. Renya smiled helplessly at Gao Ge.
Next, Gao Ge introduced several demon maidens to Dari Gaoli, and when Dari Gaoli witnessed their respective talents, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
But he was soon overjoyed again, because these goddesses would undoubtedly bring great changes to Weishan City.
Now, as more and more refugees come to Weishan City, the vacant houses are about to be sold out, and the construction of new houses has become the biggest project.
It's more difficult to build on a mountain than on flat ground, but now with Chikuri, everything is much easier.
Darigori was a little impatient, and he was eager to introduce Juli to Sieriv, the stonemason in charge of the construction work.
With Renya, as long as the person injured in battle or labor is not killed on the spot, she can deal with it, and she is best suited to work in the Baron's newly established institution called "Hospital".
Although Dao Na and Shanny do not play a special role in the production of Weishan City for the time being, having them stationed in the City Lord's Mansion will undoubtedly greatly increase the safety factor of Lord Baron.
As for the elusive Dark Fragrance, it was the ideal personal bodyguard, and she was more effective than a squadron of soldiers in protecting the Baron in secret.
Of course, if a war breaks out, this dark incense is the best assassin, and when the battle is about to break out, the enemy's commander will cry out for his life, and he will laugh out loud when he thinks about it.
"Speaker, Miss Dark Fragrance and I will leave for the Southern Barbarian Forest tomorrow, and during the time I am away, these ladies will be in charge of taking care of Miss Silver Moon. Also, you are not allowed to ask them to use their abilities while I am away. Gao Ge poured a basin of cold water on Dari Gaoli, who was assigning work to the demon girls in his heart.
