Old man Zhou became a little anxious when he saw the young master walking out of the tent and looking at the group of them without speaking.
"Master, these are the remaining people in our Zhoujia Village." Old Zhoutou said, his voice still choked with sobs.
"There are 15 children under 14 years old, 12 married women, 3 elderly people over 40, strong laborers...3...3 people..."
At the end of the sentence, Old Man Zhou's sad voice was still tinged with embarrassment. Who would take in such a group of people, all women, children, old and young? Taking them in would be a huge burden. Old Man Zhou quietly raised his eyes and saw the person sitting above. The young man had a stern look on his face, his heart skipped a beat, and he was extremely nervous.
The people kneeling behind him buried their heads even lower, not daring to take a breath. Even the youngest Wa'er, nestled in her mother's arms, was babbling and didn't dare to cry.
No one knew that Wang Keyue was sitting on the stone above. Under her cold and serious face, her heart was almost bursting with laughter. Wasn't this because she fell asleep and met the pillow?
Just now I was thinking about how to get a feeling of gratitude. Isn’t this already available?
"I just saw that there are about a hundred people in your village over there. Where are the rest?" Wang Keyue asked knowingly, and she wanted to see how they would answer.
When they heard him ask this question, sure enough, everyone's expressions changed. Their faces were full of sadness, anger and many unknown emotions.
"Master, those people...all ran away." Old man Zhou said in a low voice.
"What should you do if the person who ran away comes back?" Wang Keyue feels the most disgusted by the behavior of running away from the battlefield and abandoning others at a critical moment.
In that situation, the little kid had a knife at his throat. It was as if those people didn't see or hear, and just focused on escaping. If Wang Keyue hadn't been nimble with his hands and feet, and his arrows were in vain, that person wouldn't have been able to escape. Children... no... those children will probably die at the hands of the bandits.
No one thought that the young man in front of them would ask them such a question, and for a moment, no one dared to answer.
Old man Zhou was about to speak, but Wang Keyue was one step ahead of him, pointing at a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, "What's your name?"
The young man's body trembled, but his thin figure stopped trembling. He raised his head, his face was covered with mud, and he could not tell his appearance, but his dark eyes were very bright, "Master, my name is Zhou Mingkai."
"Then you answer my question." Wang Keyue said.
"I will... treat them as a bunch of ungrateful beasts!" Zhou Mingkai said without hesitation, gritting his teeth every word.
Wang Keyue found this answer very interesting. Old man Zhou on the side saw this and explained: "Master, this young man is the biological brother of the little baby you rescued. They are two orphans, and their parents died on the way to escape. .”
As old man Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Mingkai took the little boy behind him, and the two of them kowtowed three times towards Wang Keyue: "Thank you, young master, for your life-saving grace." , I, Zhou Mingkai, and my younger brother Shitou are willing to swear allegiance to the young master with their lives and will never betray you. If we violate it, my brother Zhou Mingkai will not be able to die well, and the ancestors of my Zhou family will not be safe!"
As Zhou Mingkai's oath fell, 'Ding dong! I received 2 grateful hearts from Zhou Mingkai and 1 grateful heart from Zhou Shitou. '
Everyone in the Zhou family was shocked by Zhou Mingkai's oath. They had never thought about who would swear by their own ancestors. It was so cruel! However, looking at the young master in front of him, his stern face actually smiled.
As a result, everyone began to express their loyalty one after another, and after a circle, 15 more grateful hearts increased. Of course, this expression of loyalty can only be useful to sensible children and adults. Some of those children can't even speak. It's not smooth, and some of them are stupid and don't even know what they are doing. However, preliminary inspection shows that these adults have basically contributed a grateful heart, and only two women among them need further observation.
"Cheng Yi, give each of them a bowl of porridge and two pancakes!" Wang Keyue said, while Cheng Yi on the side distributed the things he had prepared to these people.
Just as these people were receiving the coarse grain porridge, 'Ding dong! Received 1 grateful heart from Zhou Mingkai. I received 1 grateful heart from Zhou Deren, 1 grateful heart from Xiao Nizi, 1 grateful heart from Zhou Xiaohu, and... '
Another series of reminders sounded in my mind. At this time, everyone had collected all 33 hearts of gratitude, including the group of little children and the two women who had not contributed their hearts of gratitude before. Now because of the food in their hands, , everything is complete at once. Now Wang Keyue's task has been exceeded, with a total of 51 grateful hearts.
"Host, your mission has been completed. Do you want to submit the mission now?" 9538 asked.
"How long until the mission ends?" Wang Keyue asked.
"There are still 20 minutes." 9538 replied.
Since there are still 20 minutes left, you can still earn some gratitude points.
"Chengyi, bring the two pieces of gray linen from the oxcart." After saying that, he took out a handful of fruit candies and some cotton from his system warehouse.
At this time, the thirty or so people surrounding the bonfire outside had just finished eating their porridge. Each person had a big pancake in his hand, and they were reluctant to eat it. Everyone was hungry and scared, so they wrapped it in clothes and placed it close to their bodies.
