The best ring
Chapter 97 The Situation of Everyone
"That's just the beginning. As long as you follow me, I promise to let you have meat every meal instead of just drinking this soup with oil floating on it." Wu Fan was also inspired by the pride in the hearts of the crowd.
"Yes, follow the captain to have meat!" Niu Er was the first to respond.
"Well, we will always follow the captain in the future." Zheng Xiaoliu also said.
"Captain, whatever you say is what it is. From now on, we will listen to you." The other team members also echoed.
Just a promise that has not been fulfilled has made Wu Fan's image in everyone's heart taller and his status more important.
Originally, Wu Fan just said it casually, but seeing everyone's sincere and eager eyes, Wu Fan suddenly felt that he should fulfill this promise and not let them down.
Afterwards, everyone gathered together to eat steamed buns with a smile, and Wu Fan also took this opportunity to understand everyone's situation.
As expected, as Wu Fan expected, Niu Er and others' family conditions were not good, or very bad. They often went hungry, not even full, let alone meat.
No wonder they were so excited after drinking a mouthful of broth, and they wanted to fight for Wu Fan right now.
Niu Er was very burly. Originally, Wu Fan thought that his family conditions should be good, otherwise he would not be so strong, but in fact it was not the case.
Niu Er was an orphan who grew up eating food from hundreds of families. This kid was able to eat since he was a child, which made the villagers a little overwhelmed. After all, they were not rich. When he was ten years old, Niu Er went to the blacksmith shop in the town as a clerk, working for others, without wages, only three meals a day.
Originally, the owner of the blacksmith shop thought he had taken advantage, but who knew that this kid was too good at eating. The older he got, the more he ate. He could eat three bowls of rice in one meal. The blacksmith's family could no longer tolerate this. The food they gave him became worse and worse. In many cases, he could only eat leftovers. As for oily and meaty food, it was rare.
Niu Er also knew that if this situation continued, he might be driven away. At that time, how to survive would be a problem. It happened that at this time, the court recruited soldiers for military service, so Niu Er took the initiative to return to the village and told the village chief that he wanted a place to join the army.
The village chief naturally had no objection to this. After all, no one in the village was willing to serve in the military. It was a hard job, with little pay, poor food, and danger. Now Niu Er took the initiative to ask to go, which was naturally what he wanted.
That's how Niu Er came here.
Zheng Xiaoliu's situation was not much better than Niu Er's. There were seven children in his family, and he was the sixth, so he was named Zheng Xiaoliu. Zheng Xiaoliu's family was very poor. One of his brothers and one sister died of starvation. The other two brothers were so old, but they had not married yet because their family was too poor to afford the bride price. As for his only sister, she was sent to a wealthy family as a maid. She could support herself, but she could not make much money.
Zheng Xiaoliu, who was more flexible in his mind, was thinking about finding a way out. Otherwise, even if he did not die of starvation in the future, he would not be able to marry a wife, not to mention that he had to take care of his younger brother.
At this time, Zheng Xiaoliu thought of joining the army. There was no hope for the regular army, because it required some connections, and not everyone could be one. However, being a miscellaneous army was not bad. There were food and wages, food, and shelter. If he saved a little, he could also subsidize his family. Moreover, without his mouth, the pressure at home would be less.
So, Zheng Xiaoliu came here.
As for the other team members, they all had their own situations. Some asked to come, and some were forced to come. However, no matter which one, their family conditions were not good. If their family conditions were good, they would not come to join the army, and they would not join such a ragtag army.
After listening to their stories, Wu Fan sighed in his heart.
Wu Fan has been in this world for a while, but he has been staying in the Hermit Village most of the time. This is the first time he has been away from the Hermit Village. Originally, Wu Fan thought that other places in this world were like the people in the Hermit Village, living happily and prosperously, but he did not expect that this world was much more cruel than he had thought before.
Although there are not many people in the Hermit Village, their lives are very comfortable. Each family has their own farmland. Although it is not much, it is enough for their own food and drink. They also raise some poultry and meat. Moreover, there is a forest in front of the village. There are many edible wild animals and some wild fruits in the forest. Therefore, the people in the Hermit Village have no worries about food and drink. Even the rich place in the back mountain, they have not considered using it, because what they have now can meet their own life needs.
Wu Fan once thought that people in other places in the world also live quietly and peacefully like the people in the Hermit Village, but now it seems that he is obviously wrong.
People in other places in the world, especially the lower-class people, live very poor and have a hard time.
This makes Wu Fan alert.
Although Niu Er said before that the court's rule is very stable now, there is no crisis, and he does not need to serve in the military all year round, but when people's living conditions deteriorate further and become so bad that they can't survive, then chaos will appear. At that time, the so-called crisis may be seen everywhere. Then, it is almost impossible for me to have more free time, and I need to serve in the military all year round.
"No, I must make merit before a big change, and then exempt myself from military service." Wu Fan thought to himself.
However, it is not so easy to make merit, especially since they are just a ragtag army, it is even more difficult. Moreover, if you want to be exempted from military service, it must not be a small merit. This merit must be big enough.
"After the training period is over, we will start to transport food and grass to the front line. Then we will see if we can find an opportunity. Even if it requires taking risks, we must try it." Wu Fan decided secretly in his heart.
Wu Fan is not afraid of taking risks. After all, he is not from this world. It doesn't matter if he dies. In a few seconds, he can be a hero again. What Wu Fan is worried about is that he can't find an opportunity to make meritorious service. That is the most annoying thing.
