Chapter 0048 Untitled
The convoy of Kurozuo Village was walking in a row, and more than a hundred weak villagers were ruthlessly left behind and no one was taken care of. At the beginning, many people were chasing the convoy, but soon people kept falling behind.
The hard life makes these zombie-like people extremely weak. When they are exhausted, they will be frozen to death by the severe cold at night. But some people still grit their teeth and persevere, walking for a while, stopping for a while, panting for a while, and keep moving forward.
When Zhou Qingfeng made a mobilization speech on the roadside, the thief McCann hid in the shadow of the woods. At that time, Zhou Qingfeng's defense was relaxed and he could have launched an attack, but he quietly listened to all the speeches.
A particularly novel feeling.
McCann never heard the superior say something like that. No matter which church or the superior, he would not say such things.
For example, the main priest of Morsi, who is currently in charge of Black Forest affairs in the Bain Church, speaks with majesty and terrifying pressure, which only makes people complete the task with fear and never...
McCann didn't know how to describe his feelings about Zhou Qingfeng's speech. It seemed that there was a kind of effect of presenting facts, reasoning, and inspiring people, or inspiring people. In short, the feeling that gives people is not fear, but closely following each other.
"It's very strange boy." McCann watched Zhou Qingfeng lead the team away, giving up the idea of sneak attacking and assassinating on the way. He heard the destination of the team, but he didn't know what Zhou Qingfeng was going to Tielu Village to do. "Maybe I should follow and have a look."
McCann moved on and kept surpassing the villagers of Heizang Village who were moving slowly. He found that although many people gave up following Zhou Qingfeng and many people died halfway, some people were still gritting their teeth and chasing them.
"These people are dirty and smelly, and they are no different from skeletons. Can they really catch up with the convoy ahead?" McCann shook his head, and finally he was too lazy to pay attention to those who were working hard to survive and move forward quickly.
In the convoy ahead, the female druid Naal had just jumped off a simple carriage and rode on her Winter Wolf companion. Ranger Luke rode his horse past the carriage, frowned and looked into the carriage, shook his head and approached Naal.
"Do you think that savage can recover?" Luke asked.
Naer also shook his head, "I don't know that his injuries are very serious. I used the magic technique of "treating minor injuries" on him, but it can only make him feel a little better. He needs the care of a high-level priest, but there is no high-level priest in the Black Forest."
The two of them were talking about the barbarian Todd lying in a carriage. He was the only patient in the convoy. Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to give up his friend and forced him to take him.
Todd is also the number one figure in the Black Forest. This guy is not bad at strength, but he does not belong to any village. He is a wandering adventurer who does odd jobs everywhere.
Both Luke and Naal knew Todd. The old dwarf Borg knew very well about the experience of the barbarians. Usually, when they encountered this situation, they would at most be sad about their friends' misfortune, but they would never run around with the seriously injured Todd.
Death in the Black Forest is too common and no one will be sad for too long.
"I really don't know how to evaluate the boy named Hugo." Luke looked at Zhou Qingfeng who was walking in the front of the convoy and whispered to Naer: "But from the perspective of a friend, Todd is lucky, he has not been abandoned."
"That young man didn't even abandon the waste from Kurozo Village." Naer paid more attention to the villagers accompanying the convoy. She spoke indifferently but puzzled, "I don't understand why Hugo did this? He doesn't seem to be a person who can do stupid things."
"At least these villagers are willing to follow Hugo closely."
"Following? It's ridiculous. What qualifications are these useless wastes qualified to follow? I don't think Hugo really needs these villagers, but the villagers really need Hugo."
The two of them had been discussing for a long time, but they finally fell silent. In the past, they always had to be more careful when working with others. Of course, they could only use five points at most. However, working with Victor Hugo made people feel comfortable. The young man was very honest and would consider others.
Zhou Qingfeng's "mercy" is not understood by everyone, and the adventurers in the Black Forest even despise him. However, his "weakness" is also a sign of harmlessness. He can at least exert seven or eight points in the team, and there is less unnecessary filth.
As for Todd who did not give up on his serious injury and coma, this won unanimous praise from adventurers, who believed that this was a valuable virtue. Even if everyone could be called ruthless and ruthless, no one would like a guy who simply abandoned his teammates.
The convoy advanced two miles away, and Zhou Qingfeng really stayed to prepare food and hot water for the weak people who might catch up behind him. This was also an incomprehensible thing, but the villagers in the convoy worked hard.
Everyone was actually paying attention to it silently to see if Zhou Qingfeng really did what he said - if Mr. Hugo didn't even give up those most useless wastes, then he would definitely not give up these villagers in better condition easily.
It is not easy to find water in the woods. You need to run a distance, and no one complains. It is also dangerous to enter the woods temporarily to collect firewood, so Zhou Qingfeng explored the way himself.
Everyone has a portion of the boiled hot water. Even Luke and others can fill the kettle they carry with them with boiling boiling water, which is warm and comfortable to stick to. With hot water supply, the morale of the fleet can be kept stable and continue to move forward after a short break.
Zhou Qingfeng took a bowl of boiled hot water and walked to the carriage pulling Todd. In a few days, the barbarian lost weight several times and his face was withered. The toxins from the leader of the mud monster were not removed from his body, but only slowed down the attack.
Zhou Qingfeng blew the hot water a little cooled, then helped Todd's head up, pried open his mouth, and poured him some hot water. The barbarian took a few sips, and was suddenly choked, coughed violently, and woke up from his fainting.
Todd opened his eyes blankly, and his out-of-focus vision gradually became clear. After recognizing Zhou Qingfeng, he asked weakly: "Ah, it's Victor. Am I dead?"
"I'm sorry, you're not dead yet." Zhou Qingfeng continued to pick up the bowl, "It's just right when you wake up, drink some water, and eat something, and your health will recover."
"This really surprised me. I thought I could go to the land of the father of the forest." Todd obediently drank a few sips of water and ate a few pieces of bread handed over by Zhou Qingfeng. He tried to raise his hand, but found that his hands were completely weak. He looked around again...
"Where are we going?"
"Prepare to counterattack, first deal with those human traitors, and then destroy the goblins' nests. Unfortunately, you are afraid that you will not be able to participate in this battle that will surely be extremely exciting. After you recover, you can only listen to my bragging."
Ah hahaha...
Zhou Qingfeng's optimism made Todd laugh out loud. He already understood his current situation and his friends did not give up on him.
The barbarian grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand and said earnestly: "Victor, you actually organized a counterattack. This is really a miracle, and it is hard for me to imagine. It is my luck to be able to know you."
Zhou Qingfeng immediately disliked and said, "Don't rely on my ideas, I will not take care of you for the rest of my life. You don't know how smelly you are on your body now. Please pray to the father of the forest you believe in and let it help you recover."
But Todd's face darkened, "I have prayed, but the Father of the Forest did not respond to me. I think the merits I have made are not enough. Sorry, Victor, I have dragged you down."
After a few words, Todd exhausted his energy and fell asleep in a drowsy manner.
