Looking at the ragged child soldiers in front of him, Lu Ming made a gesture to the side, and the maid Nana took out some black bread from her bag and handed it to them.
This is under the steps of the mayor's official residence in Hedong Town.
These child soldiers suddenly appeared at the entrance of the town, and Lu Ming let them in.
In front of outsiders, Lu Ming would naturally not grab various items out of thin air. The black bread was already prepared.
It is said that it is black bread, which is a food for the lower class people in the imperial continent, but it is not the same as the black bread in the third continent.
The black bread of the Third Continent is made from the seeds of a very strong wild grass, ground and baked directly without shelling. The texture is like having sandworms in your mouth, and you have to endure the stinging pain in your mouth when chewing.
Although it is indeed very filling, it is very painful when swallowed.
The black bread in the Empire Continent is wheat flour after all, with some wheat germ and cortex added. It is hard, but it is still human food after all, and it tastes a hundred times stronger than the black bread here.
The "Yuan family" slaves here are usually given this kind of black bread, but they are provided with vegetable soup, which is canned kimchi. They use boiling water to make a large pot of soup and distribute it to the slaves. Basically, on average, five slave families use one canned kimchi.
Even so, their food is much better than in the Southern Region.
Of course, Lu Ming's storage ring contains a lot of various military supplies such as luncheon meat, and it even stores a large amount of instant noodles, which can be replenished at any time.
Including fresh meat, everything is available, because the storage ring has no time flow, and seasonal seafood can be stored in large quantities.
However, instant noodles, lunch meat, white bread, etc. are basically given as rewards to slaves who perform well occasionally, which is more effective.
However, in order for the slaves to have strength, they still have to see meat and fish meat every week.
The five dirty child soldiers in front of them originally had weapons in their hands, including a kitchen knife tied with a cloth belt with half of the handle missing, a sharp wooden stick with a polished front, etc. These weapons are also used today.
Got off.
They were all dark and dirty, and looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. However, children in some small settlements were generally malnourished, so it was difficult to guess their true age.
But from the fact that they were all staring at Nana's hot figure in the maid dress and her beautiful black lace legs, each looking stunned and drooling, we knew that they must be much older than they looked.
In fact, it's not to blame that they didn't know how to hide it. They all became like little perverts. They were inexperienced, and they never thought that women could be so charming and captivating, so it was understandable that they were so stupid for a while.
Until Nana stuffed the black bread into their hands, the oldest child standing in the front row lowered his head and stammered: "Thank you..." his face turned red.
At this moment, Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "Nana, step back!"
But it was one of several young men who kept staring at Nana. The strange color in his eyes became more and more intense and hot. He was breathing heavily, his throat was twitching, and he suddenly roared and rushed towards Nana.
When Lu Ming ordered Nana to step back, Yuanba and Yuan Qing, who had been watching the movements of several young people closely, rushed over. Yuan Qing reached out and grabbed the back of the neck of the young man who rushed towards Nana, and slammed it
He fell heavily to the ground.
"Everyone squat down, squat down!" Yuanba held a high-tech mace produced by Beiyu. It was very light in texture but surprisingly lethal. He held the mace in one hand and pointed at several other teenagers and shouted.
The teenagers were so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down with their heads in their hands.
The young man who was thrown to the ground by Yuan Qing also woke up. His face was immediately filled with shame. He lay on the ground and kept talking. It seemed that he was apologizing. As he spoke, he cried loudly and punched harder.
After hitting the ground, his knuckles were quickly bloody and bloody. It was obvious that he was extremely ashamed of his behavior and also very scared.
The bread of the leading boy standing at the front of several boys also fell to the ground, and he picked it up immediately and hugged it tightly in his arms.
Lu Ming waved his hand, telling Yuanba and Yuan Qing to step back.
"Where are you from and why do you come to Hedong Town? Oh, I am the mayor here. You can call me Mr. Yuan."
The target of Lu Ming's question was the leading young man. It could be seen that his mind should be smarter than that of several of his companions.
"We, we are wanderers..." The young man did not dare to raise his head and look into Lu Ming's eyes.
Lu Ming smiled: "If you are here to spy and your settlement wants to attack here, then I can tell you that your settlement will make a huge mistake." This kind of drama can be seen in literary works of previous lives.
Too many have passed.
The young man trembled, but still did not dare to raise his head.
"I don't want to torture you with cruel punishments to find out the truth, so if you don't want to tell the truth, you can leave now, and each of you can take away a piece of bread." Lu Ming spoke and made a gesture.
, turned around and returned to the mayor’s official residence.
…
Half an hour later, Zhuge came to the courtyard.
Lu Ming habitually drank tea under the willow tree in the courtyard.
Nowadays, there are many dry willows in the town, which are finished products that Lu Ming brought directly from the Northern Territory.
Originally, the ground in the small town was corroded and as solid as stone. Lu Ming used his sword energy to dig out tree holes at night, dug down to the soil layer, and transplanted the trees.
This also makes the town a little more green, slightly diluting the desolate doomsday scene.
Lu Ming thought about transplanting Populus euphratica, which can survive in the desert climate here, but after all, it is not as green and vibrant as willows. So in the end, Lu Ming chose dry willows, but it would only need watering in a few months.
It's just that they are all our own people now. Even the slaves of the Yuan family are not short of water in the Southern Territory.
But if outsiders see it, clear water, which is more precious than gold, is used to irrigate trees. I don’t know what their reaction will be.
For example, Jack Spinner, even if he has been living with his boss's mysterious armed group for a while, when he was a prisoner and had enough water on the first day, he just felt that the life of a prisoner was like paradise.
Now Jack is following his boss back to the desert, but he still has the freedom to drink water.
But when he saw his boss watering the trees at night, and saw how the water was used, he still shook his head and smacked his lips for a while.
At this time, beside Lu Ming, several of Jack's companions stood respectfully. The fierce man who had been shot in the shoulder was still wearing a gauze bandage. His name was Hammer John. As his name suggests, he was an expert in close combat.
They were organized into a bunker combat team.
Just as Lu Ming encouraged them, Zhuge hurriedly came in and whispered beside Lu Ming: "A child admitted that a settlement in the east came here to explore our intelligence. He couldn't tell the specific location of that settlement. He only knew
It takes two days and two nights to get from the settlement to Hedong Town." After a pause, "But he probably has a lot to hide, these kids are quite cunning."
Lu Ming nodded slightly. The environment here is like this, which is completely different from the children who were brainwashed and grew up in the New World.
