Chapter 299
Passing through Jinsha Town, we arrived at the construction site of the new town.
The town foundation has been laid, the house frame has been built, the road is covered with gravel, and the new town has taken shape.
The civilians are busy like chicken blood, some carry stones, some mix lime slurry, and some make ash.
"Lord, good afternoon!"
Someone saw Cheng Yu coming, stood up straight, held his head high, widened his eyes, and roared, full of energy.
Xilufanni was timid and was frightened by the roar of this person. She subconsciously hid behind Cheng Yu and pulled Cheng Yu's arm.
Turning her head to look at the energetic man, is this man afraid of having a serious illness?
"Good afternoon."
Cheng Yu replied calmly.
Take a look at the middle-aged man with his head held high. His mental state is like that of a senior high school student at the 100-day oath-taking meeting for the college entrance examination, and his eyes are full of fighting spirit.
Keep moving forward.
"Lord! Good afternoon!"
"Hello, Lord!"
Someone else greeted Cheng Yu, with a sonorous and powerful tone, as if performing some sacred ritual.
"... Hello."
Cheng Yu twitched his lips, a little speechless, why are the people here so energetic.
"Where is Antoine?" Cheng Yu asked a woman.
"Lord Antoine is over there."
The woman pointed to a shed in front.
Cheng Yu led Mina and others to the shed.
Someone had already notified Antoine.
Antoine hurried out of the shed to greet him, smiling, "Lord, how come you have time to come to me?"
"I went on a long trip and came to see how the town construction is going."
Cheng Yu put his hands behind his back, like a leader inspecting a construction site.
"It is estimated that the town will be built in another month."
"It's quite fast."
Cheng Yu was quite satisfied with Antoine's construction efficiency.
"By the way, the mental state of your people here seems to be a bit off, as if they have taken stimulants."
"I told them that after the town is built, every household will be allocated a house of their own. Suffer now, enjoy later, the more suffering we endure, the more enjoyment we will have, the lord will definitely lead us to a bright future."
Under Antoine's brainwashing, everyone here is full of hope for the future, full of energy, eager to endure hardships, and full of sense of responsibility and responsibility.
So the construction efficiency is higher than normal.
Of course, Antoine is not just drawing big cakes. After the town is built, every household will indeed be allocated a house.
But the more suffering we endure, the more enjoyment we will have, this sentence is pure nonsense.
"You have the potential to be hung on the street lamp."
Cheng Yu said to Antoine, and then asked, "Where is Beverly, the lord of Shien City?"
In addition to more than 6,000 refugees, there are also Beverly, the lord of Shien City, and more than 2,000 army soldiers led by Beverly on the construction site.
More than a month ago, Beverly came to Bailu Island to recall the people in his territory. The people were unwilling to go back with him. In a fit of anger, he led his troops to capture Bailu Island, and was imprisoned on the island by Cheng Yu as a laborer.
After so long, I don't know how Beverly is doing.
"Lord, please follow me."
Antoine took Cheng Yu to see Beverly.
The group came to an open space, and Beverly was stirring lime slurry with a shovel.
Beverly used to be as fat as a pig and arrogant, but now he has become skinny, with sunken cheeks and dull eyes, like a walking corpse.
Eating tree bark and chewing grass roots every day, plus high-intensity work, even the fattest fat man can become thin.
"Beverly, the Lord is here."
Antoine said to Beverly, without any respect in his tone.
Beverly used to be the Lord of Shien City, and Antoine was the tax director of Shien City. At the beginning, Antoine still respectfully called Beverly Lord Beverly, but now he calls him by his name.
Stopping his work, Beverly looked at Cheng Yu, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and rushed over to beg for mercy, "Lord, let me go, I dare not provoke you again, never again."
Only Beverly himself knows how hard the labor life has been for more than a month.
When he was the Lord of Shien City, Beverly acted arrogantly and robbed other people's wives.
Now those single men whose wives he robbed treat him as their wife every night. Beverly has to work hard during the day and be raped and humiliated by those men at night.
Such a life is worse than death.
"Didn't I say that I will let you and your soldiers leave when this town is built."
"Then can you order those men on the construction site not to rape me at night? I can't stand it." Beverly said with a painful face.
"You robbed other people's wives before, so blame me."
It's your own fault.Cheng Yu looked helpless.
"..."
Beverly couldn't refute that he had done something wrong before.
Every day, he ate tree bark and grass roots. If he was lucky, he could catch a mouse or something to eat. This hard life, I don't know when it will end.
Cheng Yu patted Beverly on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, brother, I will send you food tomorrow."
Beverly and his more than 2,000 soldiers have been eating tree bark and chewing grass roots for more than a month.
Cooking delicious food for them will definitely harvest a lot of positive emotions.
Beverly was not happy about Cheng Yu's words. In his opinion, Cheng Yu was a devil.
Would this devil be kind enough to send food? You can fool the devil.
"Where are the two minotaurs?"
Cheng Yu asked Antoine again.
In addition to Beverly and others, there were two minotaur warriors sent by the devil to capture Aphra on the construction site.
"My Lord, follow me."
Antoine walked in front, leading Cheng Yu away from the construction site, and walked along the gravel road towards the stone mountain. The stones used in the construction of the town were all mined from the stone mountain.
Not long after walking, they saw a big black bull more than ten meters long, pulling a large cart of stones towards the construction site.
This bull cart is bigger than the mud truck that sent Cheng Yu to the other world, and can pull hundreds of tons of stones at a time.
The new town can be built so quickly, and this big black bull also contributed to it.
The ancestor of the Minotaur tribe was a dung cart for the God of War. Ke Ao awakened the blood of his ancestors, walked with four strong bull legs, and happily pulled the bull cart on the mountain road, as if this was what he was born to do.
When Ke Ao saw Cheng Yu coming, a trace of alertness immediately flashed in his bull's eyes.
"Captain Ke Ao, long time no see." Cheng Yu greeted Ke Ao.
The big black bull spoke in human language, "You bastard human, let Gabriel and I go, or the demon king will not let you go."
Cheng Yu smiled, "I see you are having fun pulling the ox cart."
"Moo~ I don't like pulling the ox cart. Antoine and I signed a slave contract. I was forced by Antoine." Keao pretended to be angry.
Antoine looked at him with some contempt. He had never forced Keao to pull the ox cart. This guy enjoyed it. He pulled the ox cart out early in the morning every day and worked until late at night before returning to the cowshed.
