Chapter 232 Hidden Danger

After the maids fought for it, the men reluctantly gave them some of the intact ingredients. The maids burst into cheers, holding the trophies they had "battled" in their hands, and walked toward the warehouse.

.

The warehouse was not as bad as it looked when they first arrived. Under the leadership of Karona, the maids cleaned up the dust in the warehouse and blocked all the holes where rats might have entered. Although it still looked like an empty warehouse.

The house, but at least it looks much tidier.

"How to solve the problem of sleeping at night?" Felicia asked. Although the environment seems to be better, the problem of sleeping is still not solved. Even if people sleep on the ground, they must have a quilt.

"Already solved." Karona said with a smile, but Felissa did not ignore the flash of darkness in her eyes.

In fact, Felissa shouldn't ask, but she couldn't hold it back after all. She frowned: "How to solve it? Do you have any money left?"

Even if he knew magic, he couldn't suddenly create so many beds. He must have made some kind of deal with the villagers. According to the village chief's money-grabbing character, he probably didn't open his mouth to these maid lions.

Karona's expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "This is something that can't be helped. If you want to survive, you must pay a corresponding price, and money alone is already the slightest price."

Felissa frowned and went to the village chief.

"Isn't it a little too much?" Felissa found the village chief squatting by the river smoking and asked, "Can't you leave a little money for them for emergencies?"

Money is useful no matter where it goes. There was a saying in the previous life that money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money. However, the purpose of the village chief and others is obviously to force these maids to have no money.

The village chief slowly blew out a smoke ring and looked at Felissa as if he were looking at an ignorant child.

"Do you really think they are pitiful?" Village Chief Youyou asked.

Otherwise...they have suffered so much torture and suffering, aren't they pitiful enough?

Felissa did not answer the village chief's question, but the expression on her face showed her inner thoughts.

The village chief smiled, but he didn't know what he was laughing about.

"You are really, innocent and cute."

Felissa knew this was not a compliment, so she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if they used magic on the villagers when they were fighting for food?" the village chief asked.

Felissa was stunned. She had indeed not thought about this question, but now that the village chief mentioned it, she thought about it and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

The situation at that time was that if someone secretly used magic to attack the middle-aged male villager, it would be impossible for the villager to avoid it.

Felicia said indifferently: "But...but they won't do this..."

When it came to the later part, she herself felt a little unsure, because she had no complete guarantee that the group of maids would not take action.

She felt that the maids were weak because they were in the environment of the City Lord's Mansion. Cress left a few people in the City Lord's Mansion. If the maids acted rashly, they would punish their relatives in the military camp. Under such a premise, no one would

In addition, resisting them will result in even more cruel humiliation, so the maids have no choice but to accept their fate, but no matter how pitiful they are, they still have sharp weapons in their hands that can kill people.

But here, with the sky high and the emperor far away, it is impossible for Cress to know what the maids did, and even if Cress knew, she might not be willing to punish the maids for such a trivial matter.

"Have you thought clearly?" the village chief said, "Confiscating their property is just a means. There is no money enough to restrict some of their actions. Of course, that is if they have no bad intentions."

For some reason, Felicia heard the village chief's last words with a heart-stopping chill.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment. The village chief then smiled again, as if he was just an ordinary old country man: "Go back quickly, you haven't had dinner yet."

Yes, she hadn't eaten her dinner yet. Felissa, who was frightened by the village chief, subconsciously turned around. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back: "Who are you?"

The village chief just laughed and didn't answer.

Felissa knew she wouldn't get an answer.

She returned to the warehouse and saw the maids padding the bed with bricks and wooden boards, then laying straw on the bed, and then spreading sheets and quilts on the straw.

In the previous years, they probably had never slept on such a simple bed, with soft beds and high pillows, but they quickly accepted such simple conditions.

"Let's eat something first." Karona handed Felissa a bowl of soup with a few pieces of meat and vegetables in it.

The soup was not very tasty, a bit salty, and the meat was not cooked until it was completely chewy. Felissa struggled to chew the meat and swallow it.

"What are your plans next?" Felissa pulled Karona to a secluded place and asked softly.

Karona didn't hesitate much. She seemed to be very familiar with their current situation. She said, "Let's settle down first. After all, we also need a place to take a breather temporarily."

What she said was temporary, Felissa frowned: "Are you planning to leave here?"

"Let's talk about it later," Karona said perfunctorily, "You have to plan for the future."

That's true, but I don't know if it was because of the village chief's words that Felissa felt uneasy for no reason.

"Everyone seemed to be in a good mood when we arrived at this place." Felissa shook off the worries and focused on the purpose of her visit.

Because there are no lingering monitors on the abandoned avenues who may appear at any time, and the countryside has a wide field of vision, such a vast environment provides a certain sense of security for these maids, and they can easily detect whether there is something wrong.

When someone they know gets close to them, it won't be like when they were in the city lord's mansion, where someone would pull them into the shadows at some point.

Moreover, they were busy most of the day. The village chief squeezed their labor force as much as possible and assigned them a lot of farm work. They had no time to let themselves think wildly and fall into negative emotions.

Karona also seemed a lot more relaxed, and her happy moods were contagious. The worries on her brows these days had dissipated a lot.

"There's still a long way to go," Karona said in detail, counting the things to be done tomorrow. "The wheat fields haven't been harvested yet, and the meat won't be provided tomorrow. We need to arrange for people to go hunting in the mountains, and there's a piece of land in the east that needs to be plowed."

The soil and all the fields must be watered.”

Karona adapted quickly. After only half a day, she quickly entered the state and knew what she should do. Felicia felt that it was because Karona had always tried to please other nobles in exchange for resources. She was very good at it.

Assess the situation.
