There was a sound of retching in the toilet...
For some unknown reason, Father Hughes stayed in the toilet for a day and a night. When he came out, his thin cheeks became even thinner.
His face was even frighteningly pale, and he looked exhausted.
Later, I heard people say that Father Hughes was punished for accidentally eating some grain seeds while eating.
Because of Father Hughes' words and deeds, no one dared to eat the seeds distributed by Long Yan anymore.
Sowing went smoothly.
There was even a moderate autumn rain that watered the land, which seemed to tell the Prussian residents that good times were coming soon.
Long Yan's army can kill enemies safely when mounted, and it is also a good hand when dismounted to raise crops.
With the help of Long Yanjun, he finally dared to plant the winter wheat before winter and grew young seedlings.
Winter is approaching a little bit, and every morning, you can feel the biting cold wind.
The fallen leaves all over the sky seemed to tell Ling Chen that winter was coming soon.
But for Long Yanjun, this is not a good thing. Food is needed for winter, but now the food intercepted by Long Yanjun has bottomed out.
Wheat will have to wait until next spring to be harvested.
Ling Chen looked at the map of Europe and where they were now. Without food and grass, they had to snatch it from the hostile forces.
War feeds war.
At this time, Ling Chen heard a noise outside the house. He was stunned, who would be making a noise here.
After Ling Chen occupied this place, he moved into the former Prussian Army's garrison, which was also the Austrian Army's garrison.
"General, it's not good."
The counselor came running in and said hurriedly.
Ling Chen frowned, looked at him and asked, "What happened? What happened to you?"
Only then did the counselor notice that his body was in a mess, and several buttons were missing from his clothes.
The pants were also pulled high on one side and low on the other.
The counselor quickly tidied up his military appearance, smiled awkwardly, looked at Ling Chen, and said quickly: "I have nothing to do, but now there is a group of Prussian people outside, clamoring to see you."
"See me?" Ling Chen was confused.
But he still put on his clothes and prepared to go out to see: "Why do you want to see me?"
"You'll understand when you get out."
Ling Chen looked at the counselor with a smile on his face, frowned slightly, and murmured: "It's inexplicable."
He opened the door and went out to see what was going on that made his counselor become so embarrassed, but with a smile on his face.
But as soon as he opened the door, Ling Chen found that he couldn't go out at all and could only stand at the door.
Ling Chen was slightly startled when he saw that his door was crowded with people.
Diana and the priest also gathered around.
They seemed to be rejecting something, but they couldn't.
"General, you are finally out."
"This is a little bit of what we mean. I hope you can accept it."
…
Ling Chen saw that these people were carrying things on their backs, all of which were food. They were here to bring food and grass to him.
A smile appeared on Ling Chen's face, but he quickly refused: "No, we can't accept these things."
"We appreciate your kindness, but you can take the things away."
Ling Chen advised.
The counselor looked at those who were eating and swallowed hard.
"Why don't you come over and help?" Ling Chen shouted.
Only then did the counselor react and ran over to persuade these people to take their things back with Ling Chen.
They tried their best to emphasize that they would not accept the food.
Ling Chen actually wanted to take it, but he couldn't take it.
Their Longyan Army develops a popular base just for the sake of food and grass for the war, but it is definitely not through this method.
Prussia had experienced war, and the food in the hands of these civilians was pitiful.
These may be their winter rations.
Absolutely not allowed!
"Go back. You also need to prepare food for this winter. Our Longyan Army has food and grass for backup, so don't worry."
Ling Chen persuaded with a smile.
The Prussian inhabitants sighed, and one of them said: "You are the messengers of the Lord sent to deliver us from the hands of the Austrians."
"They also distributed seeds. We have to repay these kindnesses. These things are not valuable, so just accept them."
Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "These are the Lord's guidance. You don't have to do this."
"And we distribute seeds, and we will still charge 10% of your grain next year, so you don't need to thank us for this."
"10% of the food is not much. The seeds are yours. When they were planted, your Longyan Army helped to plant them. We are the ones who enjoy the harvest. Just accept these."
"Otherwise we will feel bad."
"Yes, just accept it." The Prussians said in unison.
This was the first time for the decisive and decisive Ling Chen to encounter such a problem. He looked at Diana for help, but Diana was too busy to take care of herself.
Looking at the counselor, the counselor looked at Ling Chen silently.
Ling Chen sighed, and could only say helplessly: "Okay, we will accept it this time, and there will never be a second time!"
The Prussian residents nodded heavily.
Ling Chen glanced at the counselor, who immediately understood what he meant.
"Come here, everyone. I'll register you."
These people followed the counselor.
Diana walked over and glanced at Ling Chen, then gave a slight salute: "General, you really are... I kind of want to cry."
Ling Chen looked at the beautiful lady in front of him who was wearing a white robe and had holy light golden hair.
He was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I didn't do anything."
Diana didn't think so, she smiled like she knew everything.
In her opinion, the reason why Ling Chen wanted to record what these people gave was because he definitely wanted to repay them in the future.
Such a kind heart, such a kind deed, it's a pity that Ling Chen is not a believer in the Protestant religion.
Otherwise, Ling Chen would definitely become a priest among the Protestants.
Benefit one party.
Every time Diana came into contact with Ling Chen, she felt that this man exuded charm all the time.
Every move he made had a profound meaning.
Like now.
Just like the figure who killed the enemy that day, Diana's heart moved slightly.
She was a Protestant clergyman, but she was still a girl.
Protestant clergy can get married. If Ling Chen wants to...
Ling Chen looked at Diana in confusion. This innocent girl seemed to be following him, and every time he saw him, he would show this familiar expression.
But I just forgot where I saw this expression.
Forget it, never mind, the top priority now is to solve the food problem after winter.
This is the top priority now.
He needs Diana to help him determine the enemy's formation and where food may be stored.
"Diana, come in, I have something to tell you."
Diana's heart moved slightly, she looked at Ling Chen, nodded, and followed Ling Chen in.
There must be something very important for Ling Chen to find her.
Maybe...
