Chapter 966 968 Good DaysA truck stopped at the intersection of an unnamed town in the southern part of the Alanhill Empire, a man covered in stains man in a casual pullover came up with a smile on his face.
This is a real smile, the kind of smile that you can tell at a glance that the other party is really satisfied with the status quo at this moment.
"Hey! Robert...nice to see you." The Alanhill soldier who was driving jumped out of the car, patted the man's shoulder and pulled a cigarette from his pocket , handed it to the other party.
The man named Robert was also polite, smiled and took the cigarette handed over by the other party, put it in his mouth and moved to the other party's side, lit the cigarette with the other party's lighter, and took a puff. .
He likes this feeling, a burning mist enters his lungs, then stimulates his nerves, and finally brings him endless aftertaste and pleasure...
In fact, he only learned the skill of smoking a few days ago. Don't look at him like an old smoker now. In fact, when he first came into contact with this thing, he had to cough for a while after taking a puff.
The soldiers of the Alanhill Empire not only brought magical anti-plague medicine, but also brought countless magical things to this town that has never been in contact with modernization.
For example, in just a few days, the children in the small town learned about a magical candy called chocolate. They love these candies and go out of their way to get them.
These children will shine in groups to polish the shoes of the Alanhill soldiers who arrive here, help the soldiers carry things, or just stand there and act cute... In short, they will all get some rewards: yes Fruit candy, also chocolate.
Similarly, the commoners here know that there is a magical food called instant noodles, and that in this world there is a super delicious thing called canned food.
Each day, the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire distribute some food as a reward, encouraging the people here to trade their labor for these rewards. The commoners here are also used to labor, and they feel that they are living a yearn for something even in dreams.
So they were all working hard, and subconsciously, they were even a little afraid that the soldiers who gave them food would suddenly leave on the second day.
Of course, there are many other reasons why these civilians or refugees worry about the departure of these Alanhill Imperial soldiers.
For example, they got a lot of clothes donated by the north, which are really precious to these refugees.
They got a lot of sturdy and warm clothes at once, and also brought a little trendy clothes, which made the refugees here improve their happiness in a short period of time.
These people had escaped all the way to this place, and the original family property, including the things used in life, had lost bits and pieces.
As a result, after these refugees settled down, they found that they had nothing in their hands—houses, furniture, clothing, food... These things all reduced the sense of belonging of these refugees.
But now, the Alanhill Empire has delivered many of the necessities of life that gave these refugees the courage to continue their existence.
Encouraged by food and clothing, the men in this small town have buried the bodies of all the people who died of the plague in the vicinity—more than 3,500 of them. So scary.
Now, on a hillside next to the town, the living people buried the bodies, and the hillside was now a densely packed mound, turned into a neat-looking cemetery.
Even among these corpses, some people have tombstones. These are deceased people with living relatives. After identification, they were buried in a place closer to the town, which is convenient for people to sacrifice later. Please visit.
In addition, the living civilians also built more than 20 kilometers of roads, they leveled the dirt roads, and helped the soldiers perfect this path with asphalt.
Now the town already has a good road, and because of this road, the supply here has become very convenient.
As a result, more bizarre things were brought in by the soldiers of the army, including iron pots and pans, and messy daily necessities, including soap and other daily necessities.
Even, in the case of sufficient transportation capacity, the ruling hall in Shangnei of the small town was equipped with a bus, and a temporary gas station was established.
Seeing the oil tanker unloading the oil tank, the bulldozers began to level some old abandoned buildings, the whole town was being renovated, and it looked brand new and full of vitality everywhere.
“How is your child recently?” The soldier who threw the cigarette for Robert leaned against his car door and asked the son of the refugee named Robert.
The clever little boy left a deep impression on him. Officer Brown always thought about this thin boy, and often arranged for the soldiers of the convoy to bring him food.
Now the little boy is no longer thin, because he has been eating a lot of meat and candy lately - he has gained a little weight and looks a little cuter.
When it comes to Le's own child, Robert's whole person is more energetic. The recent changes in his son, in his eyes, really make him extremely gratified.
Originally, his children learned the etiquette that the most nobles could learn. His speech has also become clear and organized, and he no longer runs around when he gets home every day, and can complete all kinds of homework left by the school for him.
The visible changes in these naked eyes really made Robert very happy. Now he often finds time to do more work for the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire, which is his way of repaying the country.
It just makes him a little depressed that he works harder, Alanhill will give him more things, which makes him a little uncomfortable, and feels that the friendship he owes will never be repaid in this life. clear.
What also makes him a little depressed is that many people have the same idea as him, and everyone will come to help those Alanhill Empire soldiers when they have nothing to do, which makes him rarely able to grab enough. Work.
In fact, everyone has no idea who is helping whom. The soldiers of the Alanhill Empire came to help them rebuild their homes, and they are now working for the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire - it feels so good.
I just listened to Robert's bright opening to show off his son: "It's not bad, his teacher is very capable, and I can't understand what he has learned."
"Hahaha, don't talk about you, I didn't understand when I first came into contact with those things!" The soldier laughed loudly after hearing Robert's words, and seemed to think of his son: "My son this year , is about to enter high school... He is also very good!"
"He has a good father!" Robert praised from the bottom of his heart: "You guys are different from the City Guard I know... You guys , they are all good people, the kind of... good people who I didn't believe existed."
"What you said made me a little proud. Hahaha!" The soldier's face was slightly red, and some sorry laughed: "Two years ago, like you, I didn't believe what I'm going through now...but now I believe it."
"I believe it too! It's nice to meet you , Mr. Brown, and you, and many others who have helped us." Robert said seriously.
"I've been to adult night school the last few days, and I've gotten to know a few words. I want to be someone like you... This is another meaning of my life, and another meaning Just take care of my child, Lorre."
"That's really good, when I was learning, I also started with literacy." The soldier gave Robert another cigarette, and Robert waved his hand, Indicates that he is already cool.
He has always insisted on the principle that everyone only smokes one cigarette at a time - which is one of the reasons why everyone takes care of him, everyone likes temperate people.
"This truck is yours... There are quilts and other supplies in it, what you are lacking..." The soldier really took back the cigarette, then pointed to the car behind him and said : "A full car is enough for you to spend the winter."
"Thank you so much... Without you, both I and Lorre may have died." Robert said with emotion.
Throwing the cigarette butt under his feet, the soldier who drove in spit out the white smoke in his nose: "There is nothing to be thankful for... It is always yourselves who save you."
His words reminded Robert of his wife, the one who fled together, escaped the pursuit of the devil together, and persisted together until a few months ago, the wife who died of illness in the plague.
He really misses the woman who used to be strong and strong, but when she passed away, her face was yellow and skinny, and she couldn't even speak clearly.
"If you had come a few months earlier..." Robert said after a long while thinking of his wife, the woman who had nothing to do with the beautiful.
In this world, or in the former world, only aristocratic women can have slender waists and fair skin.
For women in the countryside, the best state is tall and strong, so that they can help with labor and give birth to offspring safely.
So Robert's wife is actually not beautiful, but at the most difficult time, she supported the family with him.
"Don't think about it! Robert! You are doing well now, which is the greatest comfort to your wife." The soldier from the Alanhill Empire comforted him, and then walked to the back of the carriage, Opened the door of the trunk: "Come and help!"
"Okay!" Robert nodded, dropped the cigarette butt, and walked over. He took off a stack of packed quilts from the car, the thick and soft feeling made him want to cry out loud.
