Chapter 79 Weird Discovery (Part 2)
Maybe it's because the rich man's accent is relatively standard.
The simultaneous translator successfully translated the conversation between him and Wei Boquan into Chinese.
Yao Rong frowned slightly as he looked at the rich man chatting in front of him.
He always felt like something was wrong.
Although these refugees were dressed in ragged clothes, their complexions were not unhealthy, sallow and dry, but full and slightly rosy.
It can also be seen from their actions that their limbs are very powerful.
It is clear.
They must have sufficient food sources these days - whether they eat to survive is another matter, at least they cannot be empty stomachs day and night.
To know.
Wenqin City encountered the same wave of beasts as Chixian City, and it had been nearly twenty days since the city was destroyed.
How much food did these refugees bring along the way to ensure that everyone had enough food for such a long time?
Considering that these refugees did not carry a lot of belongings, an idea suddenly came to Yao Rong's mind.
He bumped Yu Guanghui with his elbow:
"Lao Yu, do you feel anything is wrong?"
Yu Guanghui nodded quietly and lowered his voice:
"You feel it too? What do you think?"
Yao Rong was silent for a few seconds:
"I think these refugees either have space pockets or they eat two-legged sheep."
Yu Guanghui's pupils suddenly shrank. As a person with reading habits, he knew very well what Yao Rong meant by the two-legged sheep: "This, this."
Yao Rong continued:
"Anyway, these are the two possibilities I can think of. It's impossible that they have something in their hands that they can plant in the ground and harvest food every day, right?
This is not a Grimm fairy tale. If such a thing existed, I would go back to the cab and chew the joystick right then and there, okay? "
Having said this.
Yao Rong stretched out his hand and tapped the back of his ear four times very discreetly.
This kind of military ear return has a tactile communication function, and the code word for the four vibrations is:
In special circumstances, we will be on alert.
After the means instruction.
Wu Zhishi above the ground still remained in the air.
But the driver Zhou Pingnan's hand had quietly been placed on a certain component on the left.
at the same time.
Yao Rong stepped forward and asked the four representatives through the translator:
"Everyone, please tell me if you have anything to say."
When the rich man heard the unfamiliar Chinese pronunciation, he glanced at Yao Rong curiously, but quickly looked away.
It's not like he hasn't seen some people with foreign accents over the years.
After all, the Great Mo Realm is a vast territory, and it is not uncommon for some areas to have language barriers.
Anyway, judging from Wei Boquan's attitude towards Yao Rong, this man is the one in charge among them.
So he organized his language and said:
"Everyone in charge, we have heard of the good reputation of the Wei Mansion for a long time, and Patriarch Siming's relief work has been famous for hundreds of years.
So let me tell you straight.
We have a decent treasure on our hands. Are you interested in taking a look? "
A question mark suddenly appeared on Yao Rong's face: "?"
The rich man smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come with me."
Yao Rong strode to follow and motioned for Wei Boquan and Yu Guanghui to go together.
"Old Yao."
During the march, Yu Guanghui gently pulled Yao Rong's sleeve: "Look at these people's waists."
Yao Rong turned his head slightly and looked around.
I saw the shadow of one or a few jade tokens vaguely visible in the gaps where the waists of these four people were walking.
Yao Rong was a little familiar with this kind of jade medal - he had one of these jade medals on him, and it was one of the equipment issued by the headquarters before departure.
Talisman!
To know.
The talismans of the Great Mo Realm do not have a lead like the psychic shields of the rabbits. Only true practitioners can activate the talismans of the Great Mo Realm.
In other words, these four people are not refugees, but the surviving practitioners in Wenqin City!
However, after seeing through the identities of several people, Yao Rong's doubts became a little deeper.
If these people are practitioners, why do they follow such a large group of refugees?
And even if the four of them don't have to worry about food, why do all the refugees look so healthy and not sluggish?
After walking thirty or fifty steps forward.
The rich man led several people to a very central location.
In the middle of the ground, there was an object covered with weeds.
The rich man pulled away the weeds, and a cage with a length, width and height of about 1.5 meters appeared in front of everyone.
After seeing clearly what was in the cage.
Wei Boquan, Yao Rong and Yu Guanghui took a big breath of air-conditioning at the same time:
I saw a five or six-year-old girl sitting in this cage. Her face was covered with mud and her clothes were torn and wrinkled.
In her arms she held a white radish the size of a 155mm howitzer shell, and in front of her was a tuber object more than thirty centimeters long.
But what really surprised Yao Rong and others.
This little girl not only has a pair of flapping ears on the top of her head, but she also has a furry tail behind her!
If Wang Qiang saw this situation, she would definitely shout "Oh my god, Beast Ear Girl" - but unfortunately, this funny guy was currently doing experiments in the laboratory and could not come over to say something sexy.
As a typical straight man, Yao Rong's only reaction when seeing this situation was to take a step back, subconsciously took out a pistol provided by the camp, and asked sternly:
"What do you mean?"
The rich man quickly made a calming gesture towards him: "Don't be anxious about this steward, don't be anxious."
Then he sighed and said:
"Now that things have happened, I will tell the truth. The four of us asked the Lin family in Qin City. In this beast wave, all the high-level monks of the Lin family perished, and only a few of us managed to escape alive.
This girl is an unknown creature discovered by the head of my family before the beast tide. She has a human body and face, but has demon ears and tail.
When the owner found her, she was being chased by a group of monsters. "
Then he stretched out his hand, pointed at the radishes and tubers in the girl's arms and said:
“These two are also strange objects that were discovered at the same time as this woman.
According to the research of the owner, as long as the woman holds them for a period of time every day and plants them in the ground the next day, a large amount of food can be grown. "
"."
Hearing this, Yao Rong suddenly thought of something, and his expression gradually became a little strange.
The rich man did not notice Yao Rong's abnormality. At this time, he continued:
“During this escape, we used this object to gather these refugees.
Please see, although these refugees' clothes are shabby, they are still in good health and can do any kind of work. Even if the intensity is high, it doesn't matter if something happens to them.
so.
I wonder if you have any idea of eating these refugees and this woman together? "
Yao Rong frowned after hearing this, held down Yu Guanghui who was about to speak, and asked:
"Since you have the ability to provide food, why don't you gather more people together. Wait, how many people can these two wonders provide every day?"
The rich man showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "There are probably three to four hundred people."
Yao Rong suddenly realized.
understood.
Got it all!
Why do these practitioners follow the refugee group? Why do most of the refugees look very healthy? Why did the rich man ask if there was a job in the city before? Why did he sell the little girl and two rare objects?
Suddenly it all made sense!
These four people have only one purpose from beginning to end:
Pack up the refugees and the little girls and sell them together!
This group of refugees is much stronger than ordinary refugees. They do not suffer from lack of physical strength caused by long journeys, and their working ability is almost comparable to that of ordinary civilians.
And compared to ordinary civilians.
This group of refugees is helpless and perfect for exploitation!
Now that the beast tide has just passed, many cities require a large number of manpower for repair and maintenance.
Some jobs are so intense and dangerous that ordinary refugees cannot keep up.
Ordinary civilians can do it, but if something happens to them, they will be in some trouble, or at least the public opinion in the city will not be good.
And the refugees in front of us.
They were both able to work and had no heel. If something happened, they would roll up their bedding and bury it outside the city. Who would survive?
Therefore, the rich man deliberately asked Chi County whether there was a demand for work places. As long as there was a shortage of workers, this group of refugees was definitely the best choice.
Some people may ask, why don’t these refugees run away?
the reason is simple.
First of all, they are ordinary people, and their footsteps are incomparable to those of practitioners.
The second thing is
Where are they going?
If you follow the rich man and the others, you can still have a full meal every day.
At least until they find a ‘buyer’, the rich man and others will never let them go hungry.
If you can find a decent city, you might have a chance to survive in the future.
But if you leave the team.
It would be good if half of the ten people survived five days.
In troubled times, people's lives are like straw. It's really not a joke.
As for the reason for selling little girls, it is even simpler.
As Yao Rong received in response to his inquiry, the two rare items could only produce enough food for three to four hundred people per day - this was the upper limit. Before this, the head of the Lin family had tried various means, but still could not increase the daily output.
For practitioners like Futai Man, it is not difficult to have enough food.
The biggest use of having these two rare items in hand is to regularly use them to cultivate a group of refugees to 'sell'.
Not only is this kind of behavior tiring, but you may also encounter such emergencies.
So now that they met a seller with a good reputation like Wei Mansion, the rich man and others naturally wanted to package up and sell this worthless item.
The character of Little Fox was suggested by a book friend.
It’s very interesting for a little demon who has been educated by us since he was a child.
