Chapter Twenty-Three: A Variety of Scenes
"Ahem!"
Xavier, who was near the refugee, suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and quickly turned his head to find that it was a male refugee in his early twenties, looking at him with strange eyes, which made him suddenly have goosebumps.
Am I so attractive that even men can be attracted?" Xavier thought to himself, and then snorted again, although he said that he did not discriminate against homosexuals, if it did happen to him, he would definitely stay away.
Then, he quickly patted Spencer next to him on the shoulder, asking the young man who was already able to get paid to maintain order for him, while he fled at the speed of light, returned to the wall, and reported the specific situation to the captain.
Along the way, he met a number of hard-working villagers who were helping the local garrison improve its fortifications.
In fact, when they heard that the barbarians from the north were coming, many people were panicked, and there were even people who wanted to drag their families and flee to the south.
But when they saw that the local garrison was calm, their originally frightened thoughts gradually calmed down, and even the soldiers who had to face the enemy head-on were not afraid, so what did they have to fear?
So under the leadership of the captain, the whole village immediately entered a state of mobilization, and the wall built in a few days was created in this spirit.
Therefore, although the people do not read much, they still know very well who is good to them and who is not good to them.
When someone is willing to protect them, they are also willing to feed back to this group of guardians, the so-called symbiotic relationship.

Lesha and his father, Luca, were delivering bricks within the walls for the soldiers on the walls to strengthen the walls against possible future attacks.
Watching his daughter's fat body move constantly under the sun, Luca's heart couldn't help but feel heartache.
Her own daughter has suffered from this! She grew up eating the best food, wearing gorgeous clothes and enjoying herself at home, and not having to work in the sun at all.
As a result, she didn't know what was wrong recently, so she took the initiative to come over to move bricks every day, so he had to come along and help her daughter.
"Lesha, you've been busy for ten minutes today, don't move again. Lukka persuaded with heartache and helplessness.
"No!" Lesha's face showed a determined expression, "Every time I move a brick, Brother Xavier's life is safer!
Hearing this, Lukka couldn't help but show an angry expression, if it weren't for the so-called Xavier, his own daughter would not have fallen like this!
He knew very well that the so-called squad leader didn't like Lysha at all, but what he didn't understand was that his daughter was a little fatter, but their family was rich, and Xavier was a poor boy, so why didn't he like Lysha?
After thinking about it, Luca felt that Xavier must still be dreaming of being promoted through the war, and when he woke up, he would probably accept his daughter.
Immediately, he cheered up again and moved the bricks with his daughter.

Cassetti was at home, calculating what money was left.
"One Orr, two Orr...... That's twenty crowns and thirty-eight euros. She counted them one coin at a time, and finally gave an accurate number.
A large part of it was the money and food Xavier gave them last time, saying that it was to repay Barry and her life. Thinking of this, the old grandmother couldn't help but sigh, Xavier is really a good guy!
If she had a granddaughter, she would definitely marry her to this detachment leader, but unfortunately she didn't, so she had to look around to see if there were any good girls worth introducing to Xavier.
But then she heard Barry say that Xavier liked Hannah's Captain! Little Hannah also grew up under her watch, and she was the best girl within a thousand miles, and it would be a good thing if Xavier could marry her.
But thinking that now that the war broke out, the two detachment leaders would definitely help them resist the wind and rain in front, the worry in her heart instantly rose, and she really hoped to run in front of the two of them, let them get married quickly, and leave their bones and blood before continuing to fight!
Alas, I really don't know what young people are thinking now, just chase it if they like it, and I don't know what they're trying to do....... Cassetti shook her head silently, then took some of the coins she had just counted, and prepared to buy some more food for her family.

In the barracks, the ladies led by Isabella were making lunch for all the soldiers and refugees.
Of course, the soldiers ate much better than the refugees, at least the refugees' food was enough to satisfy their stomachs, but there was absolutely no meat, eggs and other ingredients, and they could not become so-called 'meat eaters'.
Under the sunlight, Isabella, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, shed a lot of sweat, and the fragrant sweat slowly flowed down from her long soft hair, dripping on the ground that had been stepped on by the girl, but her expression was very serious, and she had never even wiped her sweat.
At this moment, the girl saw the captain of the detachment who had saved her life, who seemed to have just returned from a distance, and looked like she was sweating like herself.
Immediately, Isabella heard him ask:
"Where is the captain?"
"Inside the barracks. Isabella didn't stop what she was doing, and responded as she worked.
"Thank you. ”
After asking, she saw the black-haired and brown-eyed squad leader run away like an arrow and disappear from her sight.
~~~~~~
Xavier walked into the captain's tent and found the Imperial Baron in front of the table in a daze, either thinking or both.
But when he saw him coming, the captain immediately broke away from his thoughts and asked with concern, "How are the refugees outside?
"How is that possible?" Xavier smirked, "we have armor and steel swords, and we don't dare to attack them no matter how bold they are." ”
"Not necessarily. The captain smiled and said, "Is that because they have food now, and then again, can all the refugees be filled?"
"I have maintained law and order and given priority to the weak in obtaining food. Xavier responded.
At this point, Xavier noticed that the captain smiled with satisfaction, and seemed to be satisfied with Xavier's arrangement.
However, Xavier knew very well that this situation could not be maintained forever, and immediately said:
"But the captain I think that the number of refugees will only increase, and we will not be able to feed them all the time. ”
"So you think you should get rid of them?" asked the baron with a smile.
