Chapter 0047 Abandoned People
"Listen to me to say a few words to the trash in Kurozo Village."
When Zhou Qingfeng stood on the low slope on the side of the road, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
Luke and others were waving their whips and forcibly asked the villagers to form a team to go on the road. Wilson was so busy that he was sweating profusely, so that the convoy would take shape as tightly as possible, and not drag it down.
More than half of the people in the village received a small portion of baked bread as lunch, stuffed it into their mouths, and set off with the team. The remaining half were people who were considered useless. They only received a gathering order and subconsciously tried to keep up with the team.
The panic, unconscious, and the chaotic atmosphere affected everyone. The adventurers with Zhou Qingfeng were also impatient. Organizing teams to march was a headache for them than fighting. There were too many details to pay attention to and it was too cumbersome.
When Zhou Qingfeng stood at a high place, when everyone saw him, the messy team suddenly calmed down. The "trash" he said no longer ran around, but looked up at him, and his heart became calm in his restlessness.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qingfeng sighed weakly again. He said loudly: "I want to tell you that there is not enough food in the village. If we want to survive, we must go to other places to grab it.
But you should be very clear that Black Maw Village is the weakest in the entire Black Forest. Some of you are not even as good as goblins, they cannot fight, work, and nothing can be done, just like the mud that can be seen everywhere, and useless.
I wanted to abandon you, and it would not bring me any guilt, nor any loss. I could even save some food and feed those who would work for me."
The convoy had just left the village, and more than 300 people were crowded in a clearing at the entrance of the village. The "trash" were all stupid and staring at the boys on the low slope. They seemed to have no idea that their fate had been decided at some point, or
Be obedient.
Wilson was originally very resistant to Zhou Qingfeng's order to bring all the villagers, and he didn't like the people in the village at all. Most of these despicable inferior people couldn't survive in other places, and the reason was often attributed to reasons such as "lower".
Wilson was a civilian, and he became the president of the Craftsman Association by his own efforts. He worked hard to establish relationships with the nobles of the upper class and to draw boundaries with the inferior poor.
Luke and others were equivalent to local tyrants. Even in poor places like Black Forest, they also owned the ownership of a certain piece of land, built a big house, owned servants, servants, servants, and even slaves, and became the lowest-level rulers.
These people also cannot understand what Zhou Qingfeng did. They are not aristocrats, but they will never easily pity the lowest class of untouchables. The world's food output is very low and the medical conditions are poor. Regardless of the high and low, human life is really worthless.
For the grassroots rulers, if some worthless untouchables die, society will be more stable.
But Zhou Qingfeng doesn't think so. No matter whether there is a task or not, it will be difficult for him to ignore the deaths of those "wastes". He has not yet integrated into this world and may never be able to integrate into it. He continued
"I want to congratulate you for those who can receive bread. I think you still have a little value to me, so that you are willing to fill your bottomless intestines with precious grain. But food is not for you to eat for nothing.
I will drive you, oppress you, and even enslave you, and I want you to work for me. I hope you can use your brain more and do everything I command. Because only I will support you, and others will abandon you.
I originally wanted to bring fifty subordinates with me, but Wilson added fifty, and I added one hundred mercilessly. Don’t let my kindness turn into a joke, otherwise you will have only one way to die. There is only one chance, so don’t blame me for being ruthless if you can’t catch it.”
The "waste guys" in the convoy were in a commotion and understood.
The real powerful masters should be Luke and others. They don’t need too many subordinates, because there is no way to plant and cultivate them in the Black Forest. They only need a small number of powerful servants, a few obedient servants, and at most some servants.
That's enough.
Too many can't afford it.
For refugees, the powerful masters don’t need them at all. They can’t even support their own population.
Now that I want to survive, I can only follow Victor Hugo closely. Only he will have such a little compassion for the lowly refugees and use their meager labor.
Those who can join the team are naturally lucky, but those who cannot join the team?
Those are the garbage that stands in shape and bones. They dragged behind the team, staggering like zombies. Even Zhou Qingfeng couldn't think of what other uses these guys could do? Death might be a relief for them.
Zhou Qingfeng looked at the zombies and slowly shook his head and said, "I think you are really helpless to those who failed to join the convoy.
I don’t have so much food to waste, I can only give up you and let you die in this village that is destined to have no way to live.”
The zombie-like villagers were even more stupid than the garbage villagers. They seemed indifferent to Zhou Qingfeng's words, and at most they blinked their eyes, as if they were deaf.
"But" Zhou Qingfeng changed his tone again, "I don't want to be so cruel. I decided to give you a chance, a chance to survive. We are going to Tielu Village about twelve miles away, and I'm waiting for you there.
I will leave some food every two miles, and as long as you can keep up with the convoy, you will be able to fill your stomach and continue on the road. As long as you can complete these twelve miles, I will accept you into my team.
I know this journey will be a test and a torture for you. Those fools, idiots, and weak people will give up the opportunity to survive at the first time. I will breathe a sigh of relief, and the dead will die.
I know most of you don't understand.
It doesn't matter, I don't want to save what I don't understand. I only say what I can understand.
Only those who have a little brain, have the strongest desire to survive, have the strongest will, and are willing to do everything can complete this journey and survive. I will welcome such people.
OK, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to survive, let’s go!”
Zhou Qingfeng said concisely. With a wave of his hand, he jumped off the low slope without any hesitation and rode his horse.
The entire convoy was stunned by this speech. Seeing this wave of hand, it felt like a whip was whipped. His spirit suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but have more strength under his feet and followed Zhou Qingfeng forward.
Luke and others originally thought that Zhou Qingfeng was a bit too kind, but his words were completely utilitarian. There was no hypocritical empty words and lies between the lines. Instead, they ruthlessly revealed the current crisis, leaving a little hope at most.
But even such ruthless words hide the greatest tenderness. A little bit of hope is the greatest kindness.
The originally messy convoy became stable almost instantly. The villagers in the convoy no longer clamored, but instead performed their duties silently. They could follow closely without anyone's whipping.
After the convoy, some of the abandoned villagers were stunned, some sighed, and some just sat down and cried. However, many people still took stiff steps and followed the direction of the convoy leaving. Even if the convoy was getting farther and farther away, they would not give up.
Zhou Qingfeng found Wilson and ordered: "Go and prepare some food. I will leave some for every two miles. I will deal with this matter in person."
Wilson was extremely shocked by Zhou Qingfeng's decision and asked back: "Your Excellency, do you really think that anyone among those extremely weak pariahs can keep up with the convoy?"
"What if there is?" Zhou Qingfeng also asked in a deep voice, "There are more than a hundred people left behind, and even if only one tenth of them can keep up, there are only a dozen people.
By the way, our current situation is not much better than those abandoned. We just have a few more food rations than them. So the more difficult the environment is, the more we need to emphasize the role of will.
