I thought that when they walked into the camp, they would smell the familiar smell of glutinous rice.

As soon as they stepped into the camp, they smelled the aroma of rice and noodles, and in addition to that, the aroma of meat.

It's meaty!

When many of the people present smelled the aroma, they were all refreshed, and they all stood up straight and looked up in the direction from which the aroma came.

Seeing that there were officers and soldiers busy serving meals not far ahead, those people looked at each other and hung their heads in disappointment.

It can't be a meal for them, they only deserve to eat a bad meal, and these meals must be for the big men who watch over them.

Just now, they also heard the conversation of those big men, and knew that the adults in this camp were going to feast on those big men.

The thought of those big men abusing them and robbing them of their money, not to mention the opportunity to eat such a delicious meal, made the people feel indignant.

Some people were red-eyed with anger, but they didn't dare to resist.

After all, days of hunger and endless toiling had taken away most of their physical strength.

If they resist, they will be dead.

During the time when he was caught building a trade route in this camp, it was not that no one thought of resisting.

When it became apparent that the officials of the camp were going to drag the money and not give them the money to be handed out, and they were not given normal food, some people left the camp.

But shortly after they left, they were captured by the officials of the camp and beaten to death in front of them.

The events of that day are vivid, and where do these people still have the heart to resist.

They walked in the direction of the quarters with their heads down, and just as they were about to bypass the officers and soldiers who were serving the meal, they suddenly heard the officers and soldiers calling out to them.

"Wait, where are you going, come over and eat, don't go to the room, the room has been demolished."

The house had been serving spoiled food for a long time, and even if the spoiled food was thrown away, there was a foul smell in the room.

Chen Mu saw that the room was useless, so he asked people to demolish it.

In the next few days, we are going to build a new house, a larger house, which will provide more abundant food for the people.

And those people were stunned when they heard some officers and soldiers say this.

They stood still, staring blankly at each other, barely believing their ears.

Are the fragrant and even meaty meals that the officers and soldiers hold in their hands really give them?

It's not going to lie to them, is it?

It's not going to be the last meal, is it?

Could it be ......

Did those officials see that they were yellow and thin, and their work was getting slower and slower, so they were ready to poison them?!

And the meals in the hands of those people...... It's the meal that sent them to Huangquan Road!

Someone thought about it like this, and couldn't help but take a step back, a little frightened look appeared on his face, Chen Mu heard the sound and walked out of the tent.

Seeing those people standing in place in a daze, not daring to step forward, Chen Mu frowned in surprise.

"I ...... I don't care! Even if it's the last meal, as long as you can eat meat! ”

"Even if it's death! It's a good thing to be able to eat such a meal before you die! It's better than starving! It's better than being beaten to death by those people! ”

One of the civilians gritted his teeth, shouted, rushed to the front of the officer, took the bowl handed by the officer, and then devoured it.

When the other people heard each other say this, they also looked at each other, and with the first, there was a second and a third.

Those people thought they had no future in sight, and they didn't think they had much to live.

Now that the delicious food was being handed to him, even though he realized that the food might have been poisoned, the people were willing to swallow it.

When Chen Mu heard the people say that, he felt even more mixed in his heart.

He shook his head helplessly, but did not let the officers and soldiers explain.

These meals were carefully prepared by the people in the camp, not only meat but also soup, and the people ate them with oily faces.

When everyone has eaten several large bowls of rice in a row, their bellies are round, and they are almost unable to walk.

Only then did someone finally come back to their senses in a trance and realize that something was wrong.

"I've been eating it for so long, why haven't I noticed that I'm not feeling well......"

"Not only did I not notice that I was feeling unwell, but I also felt that I was getting stronger and stronger."

"If this food was really poisoned, the poison should have worked by now, but why ......?"

The people said this, looking at each other.

When Chen Mu saw them like this, he hooked his lips and smiled slightly.

He slowly walked in front of those people and glanced at Lord Ye.

Seeing this, Lord Ye took a step forward and said to those people.

"This meal is not poisonous, and it was also prepared by our family, then Lord Liu has been arrested, he is a corrupt official, greedy for your silver, and abused you."

"Let you eat that rancid meal...... We adults already know about this, don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation. ”

"As for the official money, after our adults count it, they will also be handed out immediately, and you can work in this camp with peace of mind."

Many of the people present were stunned when they heard Lord Ye say this.

Their eyes widened in surprise, and it was a long time before one of them exclaimed.

"I ...... I'm not dreaming! Didn't I hear me wrong? This lord ...... You said...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"Can our money really be handed down? Are these meals really not poisonous? ”

Seeing that person said this, Lord Ye sighed heavily, nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Chen Mu stepped forward and added.

"In addition, from today onwards, you have a week of rest, this week is for you to recover your body, and after the week has passed, your body has almost recovered, and then continue to work."

"I'll also have people rearrange the time to work, to ensure that you will have a break every day, and I've let people arrest those big men who abuse you."

Hearing Chen Mu say this, everyone present cried one after another.

Neither of them could have imagined that things would turn for the worse now, and they thought they were at a dead end.

In a few days, they will die in this camp, and the result will be ......

"Your Excellency, you are our reborn parent! You saved us! ”

A person wiped his tears and knelt in front of Chen Mu, and the other villagers also knelt on the ground when they saw this.

When Chen Mu heard the man say this, he shook his head with a complicated expression, it was not that he saved these people, but that he almost harmed these people because of his carelessness.

Fortunately, it's still too late to make amends.
