Chapter 150: Getting in touch
After breaking up with Qiu Li, Yu Zhongdou's lips turned up.
See, isn't the relationship established?
Lili: [You don’t really want to help him with the work? 】
"Of course. What if he is testing me?"
Lili: [No way, I see he’s having a very pleasant chat with you. 】
"That's why you don't understand humans! Humans are not as simple as you think. I just met him, and we met under those circumstances. He must be crazy to believe me."
Lili: Could it be that it had lost its mind and fell in love with him at first sight and wanted to make a contract with him?
"Aqiu——"
Yu Zhongdou sneezed, rubbed his nose, and prepared to spend some money to ask a beggar on the street for help.
After all, these beggars who wandered around the streets for no reason were more familiar with Lanwa Town than he was. Don’t think that anyone can be a beggar. Haven’t you seen those homeless people out there that say they are not qualified?
Lanwa Town is only so big and can only accommodate a limited number of beggars. If you get something from begging, others may not be able to. There is also struggle among beggars, where the fittest survive and those who can survive and hold on to their territory have some skills.
Yu Zhongdou only stayed there for a short while before he realized something fishy was going on. He just couldn't believe that other families wouldn't know about this. Be it the government or the gentry, are they really just being kind when they allow beggars to wander around their territories?
hehe!
If they were kind, then everyone in this world would be a good person.
What Yu Zhongdou has to do is to play a small character who is a little clever and wants to cling to Qiu Li. There are many such people in the world, and it is not easy to attract their attention.
At the same time, Yu Zhongdou also set his sights on the refugees in the town.
Because he still remembered that Qinghe Village was short of people, and his uncle Xu Zhong was still "looking for people" everywhere. If he brought these refugees to his uncle's village, wouldn't his uncle no longer be short of people?
However, we can't recruit everyone. What if we end up recruiting some top-notch people who are similar to Sun Dashan? Wouldn't that be annoying?
I don’t know if it was because Yu Zhongdou looked at them too much, but he immediately attracted the attention of a thin “father” and son. They were very thin and dirty, and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot during this period.
The older one was obviously scared when he saw him, but he still protected the younger one behind him and stared at him fiercely, as if he was going to do something to him if he dared to go over.
Yu Zhongdou: “…”
Does he look like a bad guy?
“Ahem!”
Yu Zhongdou coughed twice and said, "I want to recruit a few people..."
Although he spoke in a very low voice, it was loud enough for the "father and son" to hear. Several people nearby also heard it and hurried over to him.
They asked Yu Zhongdou timidly, "Who are you looking for? What kind of people?"
"My family has a farm, and I want to hire some people to farm and do the work."
As soon as these words were spoken, their eyes lit up instantly, and they quickly said that they could do it and could be recruited.
The thin "father and son" also came over.
Yu Zhongdou added: "They only provide food, but no wages."
I thought a few people would quit, but surprisingly no one did. They shouted that it was fine as long as the food was provided, and they also asked where the place was and whether it was far away.
There were also people who reminded: "Don't do illegal work!"
Someone said: "You have to be careful. Working illegally can lead to death."
Some people also said: "If you work illegally, you'll starve to death anyway, so what difference does it make if you die early or late?"
…
In order not to arouse suspicion from others, Yu Zhongdou did not recruit the elderly, the weak, the sick or the disabled, but he also tried his best to recruit people with families. He felt that only people with families would work seriously, and he was afraid that something bad would happen if those who were left alone were recruited into the village.
Fearing that they would starve to death on the way, Yu Zhongdou bought some coarse grains in the town and asked them to cook their own meals by mixing them with wild vegetables.
After eating, I took them on the road.
There were only four or five families, with a dozen or twenty people, among them was the thin "father and son".
Yu Zhongdou originally didn’t want to recruit the “father and son” pair, but when the father said that he could read, Yu Zhongdou was immediately attracted. There are many people working in the village, but few of them are literate. If we can recruit someone who can read, he or she can help the village chief and others share some of the work.
Leaving with a dozen or twenty people did not attract the attention of the garrison in Lanwa Town. Instead, the group of people who were not selected were unwilling to give up and secretly followed behind.
After walking for a while, I found that they were kneeling in front of Yu Zhongdou, saying that they were cheap and only needed one meal a day.
The faces of those who were chosen by Yu Zhongdou changed, and they quickly said, "We can also have one meal a day!"
"We're halfway there!"
"us……"
…
"So, you brought so many people back?" Village Chief Wumu was speechless. Yu Zhongdou went out to do business, not to buy people. Why did he bring so many people back?
It would be easy for him to arrange for four or five households, but now there are almost ten households. How can he arrange for them?
Yu Zhongdou lowered his head, feeling guilty: "They are so pitiful..."
"They are pitiful, but were we not pitiful at the beginning? What if they have any bad intentions?" Village chief Wumu scolded him directly and asked him if he still remembered that they took in the villagers of Nanxi Village?
He never learns his lesson!
The refugees were left outside the village, looking inside anxiously.
Someone said: "The manager's face is so ugly, does he think there are too many of us?"
Someone answered: "Of course, they only recruited a dozen or twenty people. How many people do we have now? Forty or fifty, right?"
"What can I do?"
"It's not you guys!"
…
In an instant, people started arguing and blaming each other. If so many of them hadn't followed, this wouldn't have happened. If anyone dares to cause them not to be selected, they...
The thin "father and son" did not squeeze in, but stayed away from them, fearing that they would really fight.
The village chief of Wumu scolded Yu Zhongdou in frustration and went out to appease the group of people.
"Since you are here, you must follow our rules and sign the contract first."
One played the bad guy, the other played the good guy. The village chief of Wumu took out the indentures and asked them to put their fingerprints on them one by one.
The one who could read was called out alone by the village chief Wumu.
"Can you read?"
"yes!"
"What's your name?"
"Qu Haidong."
"Do you know where we are?"
Qu Haidong shook his head. There was no sign or anything like that at the door. It said it was a manor, but there was no wall. If it weren't for the strange plants surrounding it and the fact that it didn't look like a black mine, she would have thought she was being "cheated".
"This is your contract. Think about it and decide whether you want to sign it or not."
Qu Haidong looked down and his pupils shrank sharply.
Because it doesn't say XX Village, but "Yilan Village".
What? !
Is this a village? !
She looked up and looked at the Ebony Village Chief in shock.
"It's hard to live outside, right? At least we can give you a way to survive. Does it matter where we are?"
Qu Haidong swallowed and thought, ordinary people are not qualified to keep slaves, are they really sure? Aren’t you afraid that it will be discovered and cause problems?
Village chief Wu Mu looked at her and seemed very calm. In fact, he had already given Tao Tao an order in his heart: "If he refuses, you must arrest him and his son. Don't let them run away. OK? 】
Taotao: [Don't worry, my people are here, no one of them can escape! 】
This is the confidence of the chief of Wumu Village. There is a circle of kiwi elves around the village. As long as he gives some instructions, these people will have no chance of escaping.
