Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Chapter 254 The Other Side

Collecting firewood is only a picnic for most urban youths in modern times. At this time, it is an important thing to ensure that civilians can survive in the cold winter. Farmers in other places usually start from their teeth in spring. Save things and wait until autumn to hand over to the steward with a smile on your face, in exchange for a snort of disdain and the opportunity to follow the firewood companion into the woods to pick up dead branches and leaves. It's as common as drinking water when you're hungry.

Yes, drink water when you are hungry, because everyone's daily food is limited, and you can only drink water when your stomach is empty.

"Isn't this normal?"

The five or six-year-old newcomers looked puzzled, but the seven or eight-year-old girls who came earlier had anger burning in their eyes.

"This is not normal!"

She said firmly to the child who was not much younger than her.

"These things may be normal in your hometown, but in Febrina the rules are different."

These ignorant children who have even learned Chinese characters can't understand the long story. The girl has experienced this time, so she changed her words when she came to her mouth. Sure enough, there was a sudden realization on the face without baby fat at all. expression.

After simply confirming the authenticity of the official document, everyone became active. The children went to a nearby place to look for dead branches and fallen leaves. There are only so many vehicles. People who come late after taking the cart can only push the wheelbarrow. Although there is a difference in rent, everyone knows their own hands-on ability.

Xu Tian was not idle when the leaders went up the mountain to cut firewood for the winter. After confirming that the haggard knights had recovered somewhat after eating and drinking during this period, they slipped away and went hunting in the woods. Melelle was not careful last time After being scalded by boiling water, I can't use my arms to prevent any sequelae. I can only regretfully watch my master disappear into the path where weeds have grown at some point.

"Go back and check!"

Turning around, the butler's face was as cold as ice. Just now, Melelle received news from his subordinates that there were two less low-level craftsmen on the papermaking side. This may not have attracted attention in other places, but it is a pity that the place where they stay is profit. It is equivalent to the paper-making department that grabs money, and here is Febrina, who gradually understands personal information even without an ID card.

If the disappearance of these two paper craftsmen was just an accident, then why did their family members also disappear together?Is it still an accident?How to explain that the neighbor who lived nearer was found fleeing?Don't say these are accidents!

Xu Tian has been very tired from keeping warm for everyone recently. Melelle doesn't intend to use such untechnical things to encroach on the owner's little rest time. These trivial things can be seen with his feet. Just to exercise the ability to deal with emergencies as a housekeeper, but it will not work if you want to stay with the master in the future and only deal with daily life.

Merrell raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his dark blue eyes were inexplicably numb under the sun due to intense emotions, and if anyone could see Xu Tian who was temporarily out of control, he would be surprised to notice The similarity of the smiles of the two people reached more than 90.00%.

This is another side of the butler that will never let the master be aware of it.

It is enough for Xu Tian to see Melelle's gentleness, caring, elegance and intelligence.

I don't know if the craftsman fled or the incident of betrayal is being resolved swiftly by the steward. The Lord Xu here finally brought a group of knights and recruits who have never seen blood into the woods. After nearly a year of recuperation, the woods have recovered. Wild animals can be seen everywhere. The intensified drought has caused the vegetation in the forest to die prematurely. The beasts without food can only turn their attention to the people at the foot of the mountain. , Eric left and the lord had to go up the mountain.

Both for safety and for venting.

Regardless of gender, the young soldiers always looked curious. Looking around, the peripheral vision of the corners of their eyes would not have a sparkling effect. Now the young Lord Xu can more or less guess what they are thinking, revealing a Some relaxed smiles didn't stop me - now it's the outer area that can still guarantee safety, just wait until I retrain inside. As the saying goes, ideals are plump but reality is skinny, and the environment is the best teacher.

The most harvested along the way were pheasants and rabbits. The knights slaughtered the soldiers neatly, but something happened on the other side. Many people looked at the poor prey daggers in their hands but couldn't swing them. The corners of the eyes that were relatively pampered at home even held back tears, which made the corners of the mouth of Lord Xu who had struggled many times involuntarily twitch.

"If you don't do anything, go back and quit the army yourself."

At this time, Xu Tian did not show his softness. This lord, who has always been known for his gentleness outside, is as cold and hard as a piece of steel that has been tempered in the jungle of the jungle, and his distorted character has been unknowingly revealed in such a silent way. In one corner, it's a pity that no one really discovered all this, and the soldier who was still sad for the pitiful looking little prey looked at Xu Tian, ​​who was completely different from before entering the woods, and moved his lips to say something.

"You don't even dare to kill the prey that is sent to you. Why should I believe that you can fight against the enemy?"

"Instead of letting you run away crying and screaming when Febrina is really in danger, you might as well say get out of the army now!"

The faces of the soldiers had gradually changed, but Xu Tian just pretended that he didn't see it or he didn't want to see it now, and his voice became more and more contemptuous every time, and the faces of the knights gradually changed from watching jokes at the beginning I was lucky that the venom was not sprayed on me, and I even stayed away quietly to prevent the performance of the lord from being affected, but I was afraid of harming Chi Yu, so the only ones left to bear Xu Tian's output on the spot were this group of recruits who couldn't deal with it (in fact, only They), whoever did it was completely innocent.

"Look at me like that | what are you doing? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Don't you cowards dare to take the lives in your hands?!"

"Don't you guys even find it difficult to catch the prey that is delivered to your palm?!!"

"Don't you just turn around and run away when you see the enemy?!!!"

"we will not!"

Xu Tian's output was as fierce as a tiger, and the result was directly [-]. The soldiers who were sprayed were useless. The strings of reason were constantly stretched and stretched. I don't know who broke it first. Grabbed the gap between the lord's speech and retorted loudly. In one sentence, I abruptly put this imposing lecture to a temporary halt. Fortunately, I still remember the iron law that the officer cannot be interrupted when he speaks. Indispensable.

"Then prove it to me!"

Good eyesight allowed Xu Tian to catch the figure of the talking girl, raised his eyebrows and directly pulled Sally out of the crowd. The caught rabbit in the girl's hand struggled with a very dull look, adding to the dignified atmosphere. A little theatrical funny.

"Kill it."

Lord Xu, who didn't realize that something was wrong with him, said calmly. Sally, who still had the guts to refute Xu Tian's words just now, could only stare at the rabbit helplessly, and the dagger couldn't stab it no matter what.

"Good girl, the battlefield is more cruel than you imagine."

If you can't even touch it, go home, take off this military uniform for someone who is more courageous, and go home with peace of mind and be an ordinary person.

Xu Tian didn't say what he said later, but everyone understood it. All eyes were focused on the young girl and the rabbit in her hand, but Sally just stood there blankly, as if she was frightened and foolish, without any reaction.

"……"forget it.

When the air was about to freeze to the point of suffocation, the lord finally gave up. He stopped pressing Sally every step of the way, and he stopped looking at this bird who didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky. He opened his mouth to end everything. .

"I did it."

Sally closed her eyes and stabbed the dagger at the rabbit. A deep gash appeared on the prey who had calmed down just now. The warm feeling flowed from the wound to the girl's hand, and the little animal struggled for a moment. It became violent, Xu Tian stood on the spot with his arms crossed, watching Sally tremblingly and opening her eyes to make sure the rabbit was dead or alive. Then he stabbed at the fatal place with a knife.

This time the eyes are open.

"I did it."

The girl's tone was trembling uncontrollably, and her blue eyes just looked at Xu Tian stubbornly.

"very good."

Xu Tian, ​​who dares to face fear and work hard to overcome it, is not stingy with praise, even if there are factors forced out by himself and others, this quality is rare and valuable.

"What's your name?"

Xu Tian's voice softened again, this time in real joy without any mockery.

"Sally."

The girl who has seen blood seems to be more courageous, her tone is still timid but her words are crisp.

"I remember... what are you still looking at? Either do it or go back and get out!"

The lord's answer was equally simple. When he turned his face to face other people, the spring-like warmth turned into the coldness of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. There is no doubt that if the world's words can be realized, it must be full of emotions. Bingzhuzi, everyone was startled by this contrast and subconsciously bowed their heads to carry out the order. After seeing Xu Tian's determination, most people still stumbled and raised their knives even after seeing Xu Tian's determination. A woman can't do anything.

"You three come out."

Lord Xu, who had run out of good and bad words, did not dawdle with them. It had exhausted the young leader's willpower to be concerned about his image outside and not to swear. Looking at the three faces with The rabbit and the chicken in the hand were not even a recruit's egg with oily skin. The corner of Xu Tian's mouth was pulled up to reveal the first bright smile after entering the woods, but subconsciously made goosebumps on everyone's back like small animals They just want to run away when they encounter a predator.

The knights retreated further in silence. The innocent crowd shivered together with daggers in their hands like chicks afraid of the cold. Sally quietly moved back...

"Crack-"

The slight sound of branches and leaves being stepped on the ground broke the tranquility, and Xu Tian finally opened his mouth.
