Release that Witch - Chapter 471

[Chapter 464 Change]

There were more people who came to receive the second meal. Fortunately, the three of them had been waiting in the square and grabbed a relatively front seat.

It wasn’t until he actually joined the queue that Snake Fang understood why these fences were built around the wooden platform – the speaker on the platform was changed to another person, still chattering about the new policy, probably before receiving the porridge, he would have to Listen to him babbling non-stop.

The crowd moved forward slowly, and after waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, he finally circled behind the wooden platform.

“Extend the back of your right hand,” said the guard waiting here.

After Snake Fang followed suit, the other party pressed a seal on the back of his hand.

“Next.” The

wooden fence expanded to both sides, forming an open area, but the queue was still not over. Under the guidance of the guards, everyone received wooden bowls one by one, made porridge, and went to the other end to drink porridge. put the bowl.

It’s hard to believe that this well-ordered order was actually created by ordinary civilians and rats.

Snake Fang looked back at the long queue behind him, and couldn’t help feeling absurd in his heart, as if they were not begging for alms from others, but completing a solemn ceremony.

“What did he imprint on us?” Tiger Claw poked his head out from behind, “It can’t be wiped off.”

“Probably to prevent us from queuing up again after finishing our porridge,” he pouted.

There are tall tents on the outside of the open space. Through the firelight, you can see many figures busy inside. From time to time, someone will carry the heavy wooden barrels to the long wooden table by the fence, and then the guards will distribute them to everyone—obviously These foods were all freshly cooked. When the steaming wheat porridge was poured into the bowl, Snake Fang’s hands couldn’t help trembling slightly.

How long had it been since he had tasted hot food?

The barley porridge was not thick, and no vegetables or seasonings were added, but just the pure white porridge noodles and the overflowing aroma made his mouth water.

Compared with the black bread mixed with stones and chaff, the food in the bowl made him experience the long-lost sweetness again.

Oops, my eyes are starting to sore again.

Regardless of scalding his tongue, Snake Fang drank up the bowl of porridge in two or three strokes, and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

Although he had the urge to run back and beg for another bowl, but seeing the guards watching around him, he finally gave up the idea.

Reluctantly putting the wooden bowl into the designated basin, he followed the crowd out of the fenced area.

And there was actually a wooden platform at the exit, and the preacher on it was enthusiastically answering everyone’s questions.

Probably because there was warm food in their stomachs, and even the cold wind blowing was not as harsh as before, Snake Fang and the three could not help slowing down, and followed the crowd slowly towards the wooden platform.

“Why do you ask His Highness the prince to distribute relief food? That’s a good question!” The man danced and said, “Because His Highness is determined to completely wipe out the rats in the fortress. Those who are threatened by the rats and have to obey them for food The citizens can be completely liberated and no longer need to be threatened by them! At the same time, some families who do not have enough food can also use this to tide over the difficulties! This is His Highness’s kindness!”

“But you said before that wheat porridge is only distributed to evil The month is over, what will we do after that?” someone asked loudly.

The sound on the scene suddenly quieted down a lot, and most people were waiting for the other party’s answer, and Snake Fang also pricked up his ears.

“It’s very simple! You can support yourself!” The preacher laughed.

“I… support myself?”

“I don’t know how to farm.” “My lord

, can you explain more clearly?”

“Don’t worry, let me tell you slowly!” He waved his hand, “The evil month is over.” In the end, Longsong Fortress and Border Town will be merged into a new city. The land in between will require a large number of workers to reclaim and build. This is how you support yourself! Work, only labor can create wealth, and only labor can change destiny ! You will receive a stable salary, the money can not only support yourself, but also support your family! At the same time, His Highness promised that anyone who has a formal job will be accepted as a citizen of the new city!”

His words caused waves among the crowd, Snake Fang felt his heart beating fast.

“That’s right, I know what you’re all thinking,” the preacher said loudly, “There are quite a few rats among you…or rather, city dwellers who are forced to become rats, but it doesn’t matter, through labor, you will Gain a new life—you don’t have to live secretly in the dark, and you don’t have to worry about being sent to the gallows one day. You can rely on your own hands in exchange for legitimate rewards, whether it’s food, clothing… or even A shelter from the wind and rain!”

“My lord… as long as you are willing to work?”

He nodded with a smile, “At that time, His Highness will need more than tens of thousands of people, so… yes, as long as you are willing to work. ”

Snake Fang suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something.

…

In the next few days, the three of them would go to the central square to receive porridge at noon, and upon hearing the news, more and more city residents went there, almost occupying half of the open space in the square.

Of course, there are also some people who don’t come for the food, they just want to witness the end of the black street rats with their own eyes.

Almost every day in the fort is like a holiday.

After the wheat porridge was distributed at noon, the trial and execution followed closely on the other side of the square.

Just as the woman in the white robe said…no rat can escape their pursuit, Snake Fang saw Kanash during the trial—his face was pale, he knelt on the execution platform and trembled slightly, completely innocent He lost his domineering appearance in the past.

Then, amidst the roar of iron pipes, his head was crushed.

In addition to Kanash, there are many big names who have only heard of their names.

Such as Bloody Hand, such as Iron Crow, such as Ripper Blade…they are all famous vicious kings in the black street.

Their performance is not much better than Kanash.

The death of each mouse king will set off enthusiastic cheers from the people. In the end, the onlookers shouted the slogan “Long Live His Highness” while sending off the criminals to be executed.

On the fourth day, Snake Ya saw Joe again. He seemed to have fully recovered, and the four hugged each other excitedly.

“Where have you been these few days?”

“I don’t know,” Joe shook his head and said, “I was in a daze at the time, and when I woke up, I was already lying in a tent, and my head didn’t hurt anymore. The next step is to eat, sleep, until the fever subsides… there are several patients like me there, and there is actually dried meat in the oatmeal they drink. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com I almost licked my tongue for the first time Swallowed it all.”

“Is there such a good thing?” Tiger Claw stared, “Damn it, I want to catch a cold epidemic!”

“Anyway, it’s good to survive,” Kui said happily.

After everyone sighed, Snake Fang suddenly said, “When the evil month is over, I want to find a job.”

“Maybe those noble masters are just fooling us, and there may be various additional requirements at that time .”

“Tiger Claw spread his hands, “Look at the Second Army soldiers and police officers who have started to recruit, all of them are required to have a fixed address, have a clean background, have never committed a crime, and are not even allowed to steal. They don’t consider us at all. Well.”

Snake Fang shook his head, but did not answer.

The things mentioned in the announcement are becoming reality bit by bit, and he realized that the so-called new city of His Royal Highness may be far beyond his imagination – in these short and long days, he has gradually felt the changes .

If what the preacher said was true, would he also be able to gain a small foothold in the new city?

If she can get rid of her identity as a mouse, she won’t be embarrassed when she sees the blank paper again, right?
