The days we traveled with Mikasa
Chapter 30 Reclaiming Wasteland [REDACTED]
30,
Chen Qing and Allen each killed two loaves of bread, waiting for Mikasa to finish slowly, while discussing future plans with Almin.
"According to me, let's find a store or something to do chores, so that we have more free time and have time to take care of the aunt." Allen bit his finger and said to Chen Qing, "If we really do the manual labor, we will make money. Not much money."
"Hmm..." Chen Qing thought for a while and made a decision. "Why else, I will do the heavy physical work, and you will find other work. Although the heavy physical work is more tiring, you still have money. Come on, those who help deliver the goods are paid daily."
"How can this work!" Almin stood up and said anxiously, "If Chen Qing is so tired every day, his body will have problems!"
"Chen Qing, I'm ready to eat." Mikasa brushed her hands, walked to Chen Qing's side, and sat down next to him.
"If that's the case, let's take a look outside together... Ellen, don't cause trouble."
"Chen! Qing!"
"Is this image in your mind!"
......
They first found a temporary medical center, asked the doctor inside to take care of Yan Chuanling, and then walked on the street together.
The streets are full of refugees from the Wall of Mary, although two hundred and fifty thousand refugees have been sent out in the name of the "War of Recapture", accounting for 20% of the total.
But the number of people remaining is still very large, and the whole street is occupied by refugees waiting in line to receive relief food.
"Are these all displaced people?" Seeing these refugees, Allen felt hatred for the giants in his heart, "It's all good deeds by those giants!"
He spoke in a loud voice, which made the people around him look at him, and many nodded in agreement.
"...If you want me to say, these refugees are dead! They will waste unknowingly much food just by staying here every day!"
At this time, a garrison who was maintaining order said loudly, with an undisguised disgust on his face.
The buddies in the same group quickly grabbed him: "Hey! What are you talking about?"
"What can't be said about this!" He threw away his companion's hand and continued to yell, "Aren't these all facts?"
"Why do we distribute food to outsiders! Since the giant has already crossed the city wall, why not eat more refugees to save food!"
Hearing his words, there was a trace of anger on the faces of the refugees, but they were more lonely and forbearing.
They, who have been displaced, do not have any capital to refute the words of these soldiers, and they can only survive if they bear it down and receive food.
"If this continues, the food shortage will only get worse..."
But Allen obviously didn't understand this truth. Hearing these words, he couldn't help it at once. He rushed to the garrison soldier and kicked him on the shin.
Although there was a layer of military boots, such a cold kick still made him feel unbearable pain.
"What! You kid!"
The garrison was furious and slammed his fist into Alan's face.
It was too late when Allen reacted. He could only close his eyes and wait for his fist to fall on his face.
"Snapped!"
A crisp beating sounded in front of his face.
He opened his eyes and found that Chen Qing had caught the punch.
Chen Qing shook off the garrison's hand and pulled Alan behind him. Allen thought he was going to teach the nasty soldier, but he didn't expect Chen Qing's actions in the next second to surprise him.
I saw Chen Qing bowed deeply to the garrison soldiers and said, "So what, I'm sorry... My brother just lost his family, and he feels uncomfortable. Please bear with me if you have offended him! "
"Humph!" The soldier rubbed his painful calf and said, "For the sake of your politeness, please let you go, you kids, get out!"
The act of Chen Qing catching him just now was beyond his imagination. Although the contact time between the two was very short, he tried to withdraw his hand when his fist was caught, but found that his fist was pinched by the kid. It's hard to make any movements.
Anyone who can be a soldier is not a fool. He realized that the opponent had saved him face, so he decisively admitted it.
Chen Qing took Allen to an alley, Mikasa and Almin followed closely behind.
"Ellen, what did I tell you, don't get into trouble! As a result, you came up to find something?" Chen Qing said dissatisfied.
People who are unfamiliar with the place, offend the locals, and don’t know who did it when they are covered in sacks.
"They said too much!"
Allen said angrily: "Just the stones brought up by the giants destroying the city wall can smash our ship into that way. How terrifying it would be to face the giants directly! They hide in the Wall of Rose, even the giants I haven't seen the shadow, so what qualifications do I have to say..."
"boom!"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Qing knocked him down with a punch: "Ellen, I think you need to be calm and calm."
"Hey, Chen Qing, is it too heavy to start?" Almin said to Chen Qing, the guardian's eagerness.
Chen Qing pulled Alan up and said, "It's not heavy at all. How good do you think he is now?"
Mikasa glanced at Allen and said helplessly: "He is in no state now, he has passed out."
"That's right!" Chen Qing carried Alan on his shoulders and walked towards the alley. "Don't you think he is the most worry-free like this?"
Mikasa saw that he had gone far, and quickly trot to keep up.
"...Seems."
Combined with Alan's usual behavior and words, Almin quickly came to the conclusion, "Don't go so fast! Wait for me!"
......
night.
The four people were sitting around the fire, eating bread baked by Yan Chuanling.
Yan Chuanling woke up this afternoon. After hearing Chen Qing's explanation of the current situation and Luther's experience, she burst into tears.
But what kind of mother there is, there will be what kind of children, Mikasa's tenacity and strength come from her character, and she is naturally not bad.
So Yan Chuanling quickly adjusted her mentality. She can now be said to be a mother of four children, and she needs to use her behavior to drive them to live strong.
So she brought the bread when the children went out to find work, and carried out a simple baking, so that the cold and hard bread exudes the aroma of wheat again.
The four of them were pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect to have hot meals again so soon.
......
"Everyone! Come out and gather!"
Just as they were preparing to sleep after eating, a garrison walked into the warehouse and shouted.
"Let's go, there is probably something important to announce."
Yan Chuanling folded all the distributed blankets, stacked them together, and then went out with the four children.
......
"Crack!"
After leaving the warehouse, everyone walked to the square where food was distributed during the day. A huge bonfire was burning, making the crackling sound of wood bursting from time to time.
And behind this bonfire is a temporary high platform with several figures standing on it.
"Listen, everyone!"
One of them took a step forward and shouted at the black and oppressed refugees in the audience: "My purpose of summoning everyone this time is to dispatch a mission!"
"I believe everyone knows that yesterday evening the giant broke through the Higanshina area and entered the territory of the Wall of Maria!"
"Our great king ordered all human beings to live in the Wall of Rose, but the problem is coming! We have lost a third of our territory and the area of arable land has shrunk drastically! The population has increased and there is not enough food!"
"That's why we decided to let you reclaim wasteland and destroy forests to make farmland! So that everyone in the Wall of Roses can eat!"
"..."
After saying this, the man retreated, then beckoned, and ordered the garrison to distribute leaflets with specific tasks to every refugee present.
"Mother, this is a flyer."
Chen Qing squeezed back from the crowd and handed the leaflet to Yan Chuanling.
"Okay, thank you Chen Qing!" Yan Chuanling touched his head and accepted the flyer.
"The task of reclaiming wasteland in the Southern District, the woodland 15 kilometers north of Tóros District...point-based labor..."
She read the explanation in a low voice, and Chen Qing also leaned over to look at it.
He shouldn't understand the words of this world, but he doesn't know why, it's like a fish can swim when he is born, he can read it and write it.
He saw a few important points.
First, the mission area they were assigned to is located 15 kilometers north of the Torros District, which is a woodland.
Second, the specific task is to cut down trees and dig roots, and finally level the ground.
Third, all refugees must participate in land reclamation, so for fairness, labor results will be presented in the form of points.
Fourth, the points cannot be traded or transferred privately, and can only be used to exchange daily necessities and farm tools, and the points cannot be redeemed.
Fifth, food will only be provided in the first three months, and subsequent food will be exchanged for points.
Sixth, each person will be issued a set of farm tools, if damaged and need to be replaced, it will be exchanged for personal points.
......
To sum up, in addition to black or black.
Because the settlement is in the form of points, there is no profit or not, which means that the act of opening up wasteland cannot be profitable, and can only guarantee the most basic food and clothing.
The second is the issue of food and agricultural tools. Food is only provided for three months. It is understandable. After all, wasteland is opened up for food, and it is inevitable that it is not enough. But it is fascinating to have to replace these agricultural tools by yourself?
In addition to the original set, do I have to use my own money to buy farm tools?
......
Just like Chen Qing's reaction, the refugees who were able to see clearly around were also complaining and blaming Wang Zheng for his black heart.
But there is no other way. If you don't work, you will have to starve to death.
Fortunately, Wang Zheng still had a little conscience. He sent ships and carriages to transport refugees. If he had to walk on his own, he would be too dogged.
As a result, the refugees gathered here were sent to their respective work locations overnight, and waited for the next morning to work to earn points.
At the same time, the survivors of the "recapture battle" returned, but there were only less than a thousand people, and Almin's grandfather was not there.
......
Second, thank you all for your support and ask for collection!Ask for a recommendation ticket!Seeking investment!
Isn't it good to say five thousand words a day?
