A truck stopped at the intersection of an unnamed town in the southern part of the Eilanhill Empire. A man wearing a stained casual pullover came forward with a smile on his face.
This is a real smile, the kind of smile that tells you at a glance that the other person is really satisfied with the current situation at this moment.
"Hey! Robert... I'm glad to see you." The Irish soldier who was driving jumped out of the car. He patted the man who came over on the shoulder, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.
Gave it to the other party.
The man named Robert was not polite. He took the cigarette that the other person handed him with a smile, held it in his mouth and moved it to the other person's side. With the other person's lighter, he lit the cigarette and took a comfortable puff.
He liked this feeling, a burning mist entering his lungs, stimulating his nerves, and ultimately bringing him endless aftertaste and pleasure...
In fact, he only learned the skill of smoking a few days ago. Although he looks like an old smoker now, in fact, when he first came into contact with this thing, he would cough for a while after taking one puff.
In addition to bringing miraculous anti-plague medicines, the soldiers of the Airanhill Empire also brought countless magical things to this town that had never been exposed to modernization.
For example, in just a few days, children in a small town all knew about a magical candy called chocolate. They loved these candies and would do anything to get them.
These children will come in groups to shine the shoes of the Airan Hill soldiers who arrive here, help the soldiers move things, or simply stand there and act cute... In short, they will all get some rewards: some fruit candies, and some
chocolate.
Similarly, the common people here know that there is a magical food called instant noodles, and that there is a super delicious thing called canned food in this world.
Every day, the soldiers of the Airanhill Empire distribute some food as rewards, encouraging the people here to use their labor in exchange for these rewards. The civilians here are also used to working, and they feel that the life they live now is simply a dream.
So they were all working hard, subconsciously even a little afraid that the soldiers who gave them food would suddenly leave the next day.
Of course, there are many reasons why these civilians or refugees are worried about the departure of these Airanshir Empire soldiers.
For example, they received a lot of clothes donated by the north, which are really very precious to these refugees.
They got a lot of sturdy, warm and trendy clothes at once, which helped the refugees here improve their happiness in a short time.
These people had all fled all the way here, and all their original family assets, including daily necessities, were lost.
As a result, after these refugees settled down, they found that they had no house, furniture, clothing, food... These things all reduced these refugees' sense of belonging.
But now, the Eilanhill Empire has sent many necessities of life, which give these refugees the courage to continue to survive.
Encouraged by food and clothing, the men in this small town have buried more than 3,500 corpses of people who died from the plague nearby. They were originally piled together haphazardly and looked so scary.
Now, on a hillside next to the town, the living people buried these corpses. The hillside is now densely packed with small mounds, turning into a neat-looking cemetery.
There are even some people with tombstones among these corpses. These are the deceased who still have living relatives. After identification, they were buried relatively close to the town, so that they can be worshiped and visited later.
In addition, living civilians also built more than 20 kilometers of roads. They smoothed the dirt roads and helped the soldiers improve the roads with asphalt.
The town now has a good road, and because of this road, supplies here have become very convenient.
As a result, more strange and strange things were brought in by the army soldiers, including iron pots and pans, as well as messy daily necessities, including soap and other daily necessities.
Even when the transport capacity was sufficient, the town's ruling hall even allocated a bus and set up a temporary gas station.
Seeing the oil tankers unloading the oil tanks, bulldozers began to level some old abandoned buildings. The whole town was being renovated and looked brand new, and everything was full of vitality.
"How is your child doing?" The soldier who threw the cigarettes to Robert leaned against his car door and asked about the son of a refugee named Robert.
The clever little boy left a deep impression on him. Officer Brown always thought about this thin boy and often arranged for soldiers from the transport team to bring him food.
Now the little boy is no longer thin, because he has eaten a lot of meat and candies recently and has gained a little weight, and he looks cuter.
When it comes to being happy about his children, Robert becomes even more energetic. The recent changes in his son, in his eyes, really make him extremely gratified.
Originally, his children had learned all the etiquette that only nobles could learn. His speech became clear and organized, and he no longer ran around when he came home every day, and he would complete various homework given to him by the school.
These changes that are visible to the naked eye really make Robert extremely happy. Now he often takes time out to help the soldiers of the Elanthir Empire complete more work. This is his way of repaying this country.
What made him a little depressed was that if he worked harder, Ailan Hill would reward him with more things. This made him feel a little uncomfortable and felt that he would never be able to repay the friendship he owed in this life.
What also made him a little depressed was that many people had the same idea as him, and everyone would come to work for the Airanthil Empire soldiers when they had nothing to do. This made it rare for him to grab enough jobs.
In fact, no one knows who is helping whom anymore. The soldiers of the Alandhill Empire came to help them rebuild their homes. It feels really good that they are now helping the soldiers of the Alandhill Empire.
.
I just heard Robert showing off his son in a lively manner: "They are all pretty good. His teacher is very capable. I can't understand what he is learning at all."
"Hahaha, don't talk about you. When I first came into contact with those things, I couldn't understand them either!" The soldier laughed loudly after hearing Robert's words, seeming to think of his own son: "My son
This year, he will take the high school entrance examination...he is also very good!"
"He has a good father!" Robert praised from the bottom of his heart: "You are different from the city guards I know... you are all good people, the kind of good people that... I didn't believe existed."
"What you said makes me a little proud. Hahaha!" The soldier's face turned red and he smiled sheepishly: "Two years ago, like you, I didn't believe what I'm going through now.
Everything...but now I believe it."
"I believe it too! It's great to meet you, Mr. Brown, and you, as well as many, many people who have helped us." Robert said seriously.
"In the past few days, I have attended adult night classes, and I have learned several words. I want to become a person like you... This is another meaning for me to live, and another meaning is to take care of my children, little ones.
Lore.”
"That's really good. When I was learning, I also started with literacy." The soldier gave Robert another cigarette, and Robert waved his hand to indicate that he was satisfied.
He has always adhered to the principle that everyone only smokes one cigarette at a time. This is one of the reasons why everyone takes good care of him. Everyone likes temperate people.
"This cart of goods belongs to you... There are quilts and other supplies in it, things you are short of..." The soldier took back the cigarette, then pointed to the car behind him and said: "It's a full cart.
It’s enough for you to survive the winter.”
"Thank you so much... Without you, Luo Er and I might have died." Robert said with emotion.
Throwing the cigarette butt at his feet, the soldier who drove up exhaled the white smoke in his nose: "There is no such thing as gratitude... The one who saves you is always you."
His words reminded Robert of his wife, the wife who fled together, escaped the devil's pursuit, and persisted until she died of the plague a few months ago.
He really missed the woman who was once strong and strong, but when she passed away, she looked sallow and thin, and couldn't even speak clearly.
"It would have been better if you had come a few months earlier..." Robert said after a while after thinking of his wife, a woman who had nothing to do with beauty.
In this world, or in the past world, only aristocratic women could have slender waists and fair skin.
The best condition for women in the countryside is to be tall and round, so that they can help with the work and give birth to children in a safer manner.
So Robert's wife was not actually beautiful, but she supported the family with him in the most difficult time.
"Don't think too much about it! Robert! You are living a good life now, which is the greatest comfort to your wife." The soldier from the Airanhill Empire comforted him, then walked to the back of the carriage and opened the back door.
Car door: "Come and help!"
"Okay!" Robert nodded, threw away the cigarette butts, and walked over. He took down a pile of packed quilts from the car. The thick and soft feeling made him feel so warm that he wanted to cry loudly.
