Chapter 949 Mr. Ms. 951A group of civilians is slowly moving along the rough roads in the southern region of the Alanhill Empire. They were still wearing tattered clothes, but their faces looked much more normal.
When they just set off, they didn't have so many people, but now, Grandiose, the team that has been postponed, has gathered more than 3,000 refugees with their families.
These refugees are gathered from nearby villages. Every time they pass through a village, the team will eat the civilians in the village like greedy snakes, and then make themselves more spectacular.
The goal of their journey was also clear, and that was to head to the vicinity of Briburn, where they awaited further instructions.
Because it was the plague cured by the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire, they had no doubts about what the other side told them. They even took these words as truth and believed in them like gods.
So, when they knew that these soldiers wanted them to go east, they went without the slightest hesitation.
And what didn't disappoint them was, sure enough, they saw the supplies promised to them by the Alanhill Imperial soldiers on the road, they saw the supply convoy, and more, as they converged eastwards refugees.
"father! When I grow up, I want to be an officer of the Alanhill Imperial Army like Lieutenant Brown!" A little boy took his father's hand, and the eyelashes on his big eyes fanned. Fan, looking at this world that is not friendly to him.
His mother died of the plague, and both his grandfather and grandmother were slaughtered when the demons invaded.
Before these calamities, their family was not doing well. The old aristocrats have been brutally exploiting them. Their family is working hard every day, but they can't eat enough all year round.
But in the past few days, they enjoyed the goodwill of this world: the materials put in by the Alanhill Empire allowed them to eat delicious instant noodles and bread, and let them taste the "purity" of crystal clear and near-transparent. water", and even had delicious luncheon meat!
Although they don't know, most of the ingredients in luncheon meat are starch, and the instant noodles and bread with a one-year shelf life they eat are not good things to praise.
However, this is indeed the most comfortable day they have lived in the past six months. Therefore, there is a smile on the boy's face, a smile that has not been seen for a long time.
The boy's father's face has a lot of vicissitudes. He is even more desperate for this world, so he is not as optimistic as the boy's.
In his knowledge, any piece of bread will not be given away for nothing. He's a poor man with almost nothing, so he's pondering one question along the way, and that question is, what does the monarch of the Alanhill Empire, the great Chris Your Majesty, want from his body, get something.
He had nothing to lose. If it was just his life, he could give it without the slightest hesitation, but what he was worried about was his own son.
"As long as you grow up and become strong, you can support yourself... that's fine." Thinking of this, he stroked his child's head, and finally a blunt smile appeared on his face.
After all, he hasn't laughed for nearly three years, and he hasn't laughed since the demons invaded south.
"It's not a good thing for us to go to Briburn like this." A nervous man leaned over and seemed to have found someone to talk to.
It seems that he is the kind of person who has read some books and has some knowledge. He was still young, but a little too thin. Standing beside the man leading the child, he looked like a girl.
"Sorry, my name is Benjamin, and I'm a teacher." The man who came over kindly laughed and introduced himself.
Then, he continued to nag each minding their own business familiarly: "I've been to Briburn, and when I go there, there will be more nobles and rich people...myself As long as you get too close to those people, there will definitely be no good."
"You are right." The boy's father nods, agreeing with what the man who took the initiative to approach said.
According to his experience, what the other party said was indeed right. In the past, it was definitely not a good thing to have a relationship with those damn nobles.
However, this time, apparently someone has a different opinion. The boy he was holding suddenly retorted: "I don't think Lieutenant Brown will lie to us! They are good people!"
To these ragged refugees walking down the road For us, this sentence undoubtedly represents the truth, the indisputable truth!
Lieutenant Brown is a good man! Because it was Lieutenant Brown who saved them. It was Lieutenant Brown who brought the special medicines and vaccines, and it was Lieutenant Brown who brought them food.
Even they're on this road now, it's the "order" of Lieutenant Brown, where they can find food, and that's a proven fact!
"That's what I can't figure out too! They saved us, but obviously it's better for them if we die." One hand rubbed the boy's hair.
Soon, the crowd began to stir slightly, because at the front of the line, someone started to pick up today's food from the truck parked at the intersection.
They can pick up their food at the designated place as long as they follow the road. Such unimaginable things used to only appear in dreams.
A jeep drove against the crowd and ended up in the middle of the line. A man in a digital camouflage uniform and a Kevlar helmet jumped out of the car.
With a pair of glasses, he looked more like a scholar than the thin man in the crowd who claimed to be a teacher.
"Second Lieutenant Brown!" The boy who saw the acquaintance had already started waving to the man, and those nearby refugees who heard the shouting also stopped voluntarily and bowed slightly to salute the officer. Respect.
"Hey! Young man!" The officer named Brown walked up to the boy, reached out and rubbed the boy's messy, but not dirty hair: "How? The time has gone so far, are you tired?"
"Not tired!" The boy straightened his waist and tried to stand like a soldier, imitating those Alanhill The appearance of a grenadier, chin up as solemnly replied as possible.
"Good job!" Lieutenant Brown took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to the little boy: "Share it with your friends! Do you understand?"
" Yes!" The little boy was so excited, he knew that he would have good luck when he saw Mr. Brown, and looking at the children around him, he knew that he would definitely become the king of children in a while! The child king who controls the distribution of candy!
"Ahead is a town that has been vacated! The original residents have left! We rearranged it a little bit." Brown pointed to the direction he came from, and said to the surrounding people. people said.
"You'll be there in the afternoon, and everyone can choose to settle down there, or continue to Briburn!" After attracting the attention of the others, he said again.
Then he paused, looked at the bewildered crowd, and continued: "If you choose to stay, you have to start working...you can only get food after working, and this is something you should keep in mind in the future. If you work, you will have food!"
"If you have farming experience, you can sign up to farm! Each adult man grows 5 acres of land, which is about the size of 70 Nantes in the past... ... If you have no farming experience, you can sign up for road construction." He shouted, frowned when he shouted, and seemed to regret that he forgot to apply for a loudspeaker.
In the eyes of everyone, he continued to shout, which shocked everyone: "We urgently need the following talents...literate people, teacher is the best! We plan to build a small town. In a school, children go to school during the day, and adults go to night school at night!"
The old nobles are not willing to let the common people learn, and the policy of ignoring the people is definitely not a feature of a certain country. All those in power seem to be afraid of the common man becoming wiser.
So, in the old days, it was almost impossible for the poor to send their offspring to school.
But now, the Alanhill Empire seems to be planning to let the children of the commoners go to school in addition to preparing people to eat. What is this Divine Immortal operation? Is this an attempt to train commoners into nobles?
"Sir, aren't you a teacher?" The little boy felt that he had to show his worth when he took Mr. Brown's chocolate. He looked towards the thin man standing beside him. , asked.
"Are you a teacher?" Brown's eyes shined, and he walked up to the thin man who claimed to be a teacher, his face full of surprises.
For an area that urgently needs teachers, it is really not easy to find a living teacher.
Teachers in many places have died from the plague, and some have been killed by demons. In short, in the entire southern region, there are not many literate grassroots education forces left.
However, the expression on his face soon brightened. He looked at the innocent-looking child, and then at the child's father beside him: "What should I call you?"
"Ben...Benjamin..." The thin man was a little confused. Natural opening replied.
"Okay, Benjamin...teacher. I have another question, should I call you Mr. Benjamin, or Ms. Benjamin?" Brown smiled and pierced the other's cross-dresser.
