Chapter 54: Team Reorganization, Hagrid Expels People
No one spoke. Meng Fan's face was tense. He packed his backpack and ran away.
"Meng Fan, where are you going?" Meng Bao grabbed Meng Fan in time.
Meng Fan was like an angry little lion, his hair all blown up. "Let me go! I don't want to join your team anymore. I want to leave! Let me go..."
How could Meng Bao really dare to let Meng Fan go?
If Yao Tao came back and found out that the child had run away, it would be even more troublesome.
But Meng Fan was very strong and Meng Bao was about to lose control.
Hagrid walked over and held Meng Fan's shoulders. "Boy, Wen Jiming and I have both received help from Yao Tao. We are not ungrateful people. Wen Jiming has gone to find Captain Wu. He will definitely bring Yao Tao back safely."
Meng Fan twisted his body, trying to shake off Hagrid. "You still say you're not ungrateful? When you weren't here, all these people bullied Sister Yao Tao. You saved my life and even made delicious roujiamo for me. And they actually called me a liar..."
He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and couldn't help but start kicking and hitting Hagrid.
Hagrid did not fight back and let Meng Fan kick and hit him.
He didn't care how much power a child could have.
Meng Fan's words touched Hagrid and Meng Bao.
They couldn't help but think of the delicious food Yao Tao had made when the four of them escaped together.
Even though they later formed a team and had meat for every meal, the taste was far inferior to the food cooked by Yao Tao.
They remembered that bowl of clear soup noodles for a long time.
"I promise that Wen Jiming will bring Yao Tao back." Hagrid said solemnly to Meng Fan.
"What if he can't bring it back?" Meng Fan asked back.
Hagrid's face darkened. "Then I'll go and rescue her with Wen Jiming."
"You saved her and offended the authorities. What will the team do?"
Hagrid didn't answer Meng Fan. He gently let go of Meng Fan and looked at the other team members. "Who among you was involved in this incident today? Stand up."
Everyone looked at each other.
There are more than 30 people in their team. Although they all know how to use bows and arrows, their skills vary greatly.
Hagrid repeated again, "Anyone involved in today's incident, please stand up."
More than a dozen people came forward one after another.
Mengbao counted them and there were nineteen people in total.
In other words, nearly half of the team had secretly agreed to kick Yao Tao out.
The reason was that they were worried that their captain would be deceived.
Mengbao was very angry.
What Meng Fan said was right. The people in their team were simply teaming up to bully others.
They said they were afraid that Wen Jiming would be cheated, but they were actually afraid that someone would come and take their jobs, and they were worried that Yao Tao and Meng Fan would just eat for free after joining the team.
They forgot that they also ate free food when they first joined the team.
When it is their turn to pay, they don't want to take responsibility.
Hagrid said in a deep voice, "Mengbao, write down their names and take away all their weapons."
"Let's wait until Captain Wen comes back..." someone said weakly.
They all knew that Wen Jiming was soft-hearted and would not be punished as long as he said something nice.
Hagrid snorted. "It's the same with Wen Jiming's return. I'm putting this on notice today. If you guys can do something like this behind our backs, you can sell us out tomorrow. We don't want people like that on our team. Hand over your bows and arrows and go wherever you want."
The nineteen team members were shocked.
Hagrid meant... not to have them anymore?
"We have to wait for the captain to come back!"
"Yes, we only listen to the captain."
Those people still want to make a final struggle.
The bows and arrows distributed by Wen Jiming's team are really easy to use. As long as you go out with the team, you can hunt prey without worrying about going hungry.
Without bows and arrows, even if they join other teams, they can only fight the mutant animals with knives and sticks.
Close combat often results in casualties, and being injured by a mutant animal is almost certain to result in death.
None of them wanted to leave, let alone hand over their weapons.
Hagrid didn't care about that. He ordered the remaining team members, "Confiscate the weapons of these 19 people and tell them to get out with their luggage!"
Most of those who were driven away by Hagrid were lazy and gluttonous. The other members of the team had long been fed up with this, and they were naturally happy to have the opportunity to drive them away.
So without Hagrid and Meng Bao taking action, the weapons of the nineteen people were confiscated and they were driven out of the team camp with the few supplies they had with them.
