The commoners who did not join in the commotion felt a wave of fear and nervousness in their hearts as they watched the bandits kill without batting an eyelid.
Some people even secretly prepared to escape down the mountain and leave the village.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, all the troublemakers were dealt with and became souls under the knife.
"Fort Master, all the troublemakers have been dealt with, but some people have escaped!”
A person half-knelt in front of Hong Tianyu and said respectfully.
"Yes, I know!" Hong Tianyu said lightly.
Then, the person quickly stood to the side.
"My fellow villagers, those people just now deserve to be killed. Don't be afraid. As long as you behave yourselves, we won't find trouble with you!”Hong Tianyu said to the remaining citizens who did not escape," I know that all of you are afraid. I will give you a choice now. You can leave the mountain. I will not punish any of you, nor will I cause trouble for any of you. I swear!”
When they heard Hong Tianyu say that they could go down the mountain, some of them were very excited. If they were not afraid that they would be like those who fell in a pool of blood, they would have left long ago.
"As for the others who are willing to join my village, you can rest assured. As long as you join the village, you will be my brothers. Not only will I take you to your fill, but I will also send you houses and food so that you will never have to run or starve again!”
"What? Not only food, but also houses!”
"Is this true? Are you trying to fool us?”
"That's right. How can we give away food and houses just like that? This Fort Master can't be bragging, right? Moreover, this stronghold is so small!”
Everyone started to discuss. Some people didn't believe what Hong Tianyu said was true, while others believed it.
After all, everyone had been on the run for more than half a month. They could not even sleep well, let alone eat a full meal. Now that someone was willing to promise them food and shelter, how could they not be tempted?
"Everyone, I can swear on what I just said. If you don't want to believe my oath, you can still choose to stay or leave with confidence. I won't stop you!”Hong Tianyu said again.
"Chief, what you said is true. If we join the stronghold, will you really give us houses and food?”One of them asked Hong Tianyu excitedly.
The others also looked at him nervously.
"I'm telling the truth!" Hong Tianyu said seriously.
"Alright, then I won't leave!"
"I'm not leaving either. I want to join the village!”
"I want to join the village too!"
After this round, the number of people who chose to join the village reached 300.
However, there were still dozens of people who were very suspicious and refused to join the village.
Hong Tianyu did as he said and let them leave the mountain safely.
……
After Hong Tianyu got someone to register these people, he brought all of them to the stronghold.
"It smells so good. This is the smell of food!”
"Really, I smell it too. Am I hallucinating?”
"Could it be that I'm hallucinating too? That shouldn't be!”
Everyone tried their best to sniff. They wanted to take a good whiff of the fragrance of the food.
"No…this isn't an illusion, this is real, look!”
One of them pointed excitedly at a long table in front of them. There were more than ten tables, and all kinds of dishes were piled on the table.
"It's true, there's really food!”
Gulp!
Gulp ~
In the crowd, the sound of swallowing saliva and stomach growling spread non-stop. It was like a chain reaction. Soon, everyone's stomach was growling.
"These dishes are all prepared for you. I promised you that I would feed you!”Hong Tianyu pointed at the table in front of him and said.
"Really…really, thank you, chief, thank you, chief!”
"Thank you, Chief!"
Everyone was like a hungry wolf, desperately rushing to the table full of food.
"Don't snatch it, this is mine!"
"Who said that? This is mine. Give it to me!”
"Hehe, no one is snatching it for me!"
……
Looking at everyone fighting for it, Hong Tianyu smiled faintly.
The dishes on the table were prepared by the disciples of Jiangzhe and the others when he ordered them to make porridge.
At present, in the entire village, except for Hong Tianyu and Zhao Yun's meals, which were cooked by the eight people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the rest were cooked by more than ten disciples taught by them.
After everyone had eaten their fill, Hong Tianyu brought everyone to the new village at the top of the mountain.
"Chief, you…why did you bring us here? What is this place?”
"That's right, Fort Master. What are we going to do?”
Everyone looked at Hong Tianyu in confusion.
They had really enjoyed the meal just now. They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had such a full meal.
"I'll take you to see the house you'll be living in in the future!”Hong Tianyu replied lightly.
A house!
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and looked at Hong Tianyu excitedly.
"The house hasn't been built yet. My people are still working hard on it, so you still have to wait for a while before you can move in!”Hong Tianyu immediately poured cold water on everyone.
"Ah!"
Hearing this news, everyone was more or less disappointed, but they quickly reacted.
That's right, they had so many people. How long would it take to finish the construction? Moreover, it was a favor for the Fort Master to help them build a house. What right did they have to complain? They should thank the Fort Master properly.
"Chief, why don't…why don't we help together? We have plenty of strength!”
"That's right, that's right, Fort Master. We just ate our fill, and our bodies are filled with endless strength!”
"Fort Master, let us help. With us joining, the construction period can be brought forward a lot!”
Hong Tianyu looked at these people and nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, they did not disappoint him.
"Forget it for today. You can start helping tomorrow.”Hong Tianyu said with a smile.
"Yes, Chief!"
Everyone shouted excitedly.
At this moment, they had already completely regarded themselves as members of Sealed Dragon Stronghold.
After leading everyone to the new village, Hong Tianyu found Xu Banxian and asked him to familiarize these people with the work here.
"Hey, look, what's that big roller? Why were there a few people spinning the big roller?”
"I don't know. It looks so magical. Is that mud under the big drum? Why does it look so black?”
"Look at the hats these workers are wearing. They look very nice!”
Everyone was like a curious baby, looking at the strange things on the construction site.
