The bread piled up on the cart gave off a rich wheat aroma and spread.

The refugees who were close together sniffed and looked at the cars beside Donner with curiosity.

The men who buried the fire to make food, the women who held the fire, and the children who squatted on the ground to pick up the garbage all stopped what they were doing.

People farther away stopped when they saw the abnormality here.

This fragrance is very familiar to the refugees, but it is also very distant, and it is very desirable.

But the weapons in the hands of the guards kept the refugees afraid to approach for a while, and they could only stare at the vehicles with their eyes.

The guards guarded vigilantly beside the vehicle with scimitars, waiting for Donner's orders.

Donner said calmly, "Lift the cloth." ”

It was only after receiving the order that the captain of the guard lifted the linen cloth that was hidden on the flatbed, revealing layers of bread that were still emitting heat.

The numb eyes of the surrounding refugees suddenly brightened, swallowed their saliva, and then began to surround them step by step, staring at the scimitars in the hands of the guards, as if as soon as the guards let go, they would rush over.

The refugees, who had stopped to watch from afar, saw the scene and ran over like crazy, roaring like a beast.

In fact, at the end of the day, when it comes to extreme hunger, there is no difference between humans and wild animals, and they will become crazy and irrational when they encounter food.

"Bang. ”

Donner lit the arquebus he was carrying with him and pulled the trigger.

He had already been prepared and kept an eye on all the movements of the refugees.

Hunger can make people crazy, and madness is contagious, and once refugees lose their minds, there will inevitably be chaos and looting, and even pushing and trampling.

At that time, even the guards armed with scimitars could not stop them, and anything that stood in their way would be torn apart.

The sudden explosion made the refugees stunned, and everyone subconsciously lowered the source of the loud noise, and then almost everyone looked at Donner, and the red flag waving in the wind beside him.

At this time, there was no time to be verbose, and Donner said the first sentence directly: "Today, these foods are prepared for you, but if you still want it tomorrow, listen to me first." ”

The refugees were stunned for a moment, and they all couldn't hold back for a moment, and those refugees who didn't hear running from a distance behind them were all pulled by the familiar people standing in front.

"Good!" Donner smiled with satisfaction, "you see, there's a lot of bread here, and everyone has it."

But if I want to eat bread, I have two requirements: first, everyone should line up to receive it under the guidance of my guards, and each person can only receive one, and second, women and children should stand in front and receive it first. ”

"If there is a violation of the rules, you will not be able to receive it? Of course you can rush and snatch it, I can't stop it, but we will be gone, and we will not come back tomorrow. Donner looked around, staring at the refugees, "You understand?"

After a moment's hesitation, the refugees looked at each other, then nodded blankly.

Donner nodded and said to the guards, "Let them line up,"

There were five cars in total, and five guards stood in front with weapons, and the others shouted loudly: "Come, women and children stand in front, one follows the other, line up."

Don't worry, our head of the regiment said that everyone has it, so don't be in a hurry, don't squeeze, whoever squeezes the people around him can catch him, and the bread will be rewarded to whomever he wants, and if there are more than ten people to rob, tomorrow all of you will have nothing to eat. ”

Hearing this, the refugees' eyes lit up, and they immediately stared at the people around them, as if expecting someone to break the rules so that they could get two copies.

And those strong refugees who originally had this idea suddenly retracted the steps they were ready to step out.

Under the shouts and teachings of the guards, the crooked ranks of the five columns began to form.

Donner hadn't let the bread be distributed yet, and the people in front watched Donner and the bread drooling vigorously, while the people in the back stood on tiptoe and tilted their heads sideways, constantly looking at the front of the cart with bread, for fear that it would be the last turn.

"Let's get started!" Donner said to the guards.

"Yes, Captain!"

"Come, come, little friend, come to the front, it's yours. The guard took a steaming loaf of bread from the vehicle and handed it to a boy standing at the front.

The boy looked timid, but when he saw that the food was being delivered, he snatched the bread with the quickest handful, stuffed it in his mouth and took a bite.

The child took a bite of the bread, then hid it in his arms, hugged it with both hands, and looked at the mother behind him.

The guard was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but finally shook his head and continued to say to the next one: "This is yours, take it, the next one." ”

"Thank you!" the woman whispered.

The guards were stunned again, and then continued to distribute.

The scene here attracted people's attention long before the gunshots rang out.

By the time the refugees lined up and distributed bread, passers-by who had entered and left the city stopped and stopped, and even the soldiers on the city walls and the guards guarding the gates were watching.

"Is this handing out bread to refugees?"

"It's, you see, there's a lot of bread on the truck, and the refugees are queuing up to get it. ”

"Who is this? What a fool to hand out food to this group of filthy refugees. ”

"Maybe it's some benevolent nobleman in the city? You see, is there a badge on that banner? It looks like a sickle and a hammer crossed? Is there a family in Manhill City that makes the badge?"

"I don't know, haven't heard of it?"

Not only the pedestrians passing by to see the bustle, but also the soldiers and guards of Manhill City were all talking.

Some people say that Donner and the others are stupid, some people say that he is benevolent, and some people are discussing Donner's origins.

"You say, why don't we go get one too?" ”

"That's not good! The refugees were already miserable, they were so hungry. ”

"Hey, it's a waste to give them food, it's better to give it to us. ”

Among the pedestrians, two people discussed in a low voice, and one of the people next to him couldn't listen to it, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, Manhill City is a great city, but I didn't expect that the people in the city are so despicable, and today I have seen it for a long time." ”

These words immediately made the man's face red, and he lowered his head and walked away.

Donner noticed the bustling pedestrians at the gate, but he only glanced at it before continuing to hand out bread.

Soon, the team of five captains saw the end, and Donner's heart that had been mentioning it finally relaxed.

He wasn't worried about anything else, the only thing he was afraid of was crowding, which would lead to chaos.

If food was distributed to make refugees die, it would be contrary to his original purpose, which he desperately did not want to see.
