"I thought you were dead." Buck said to his good friend embarrassedly: "Do you know about Tommy..."
"I know." The friend's name was Mu Li. He nodded sadly after hearing this question: "I saw him later... Damn, there was blood on his stomach, and he was already dead when I found him.
Already."
Buck was a little surprised. In his opinion, the Murry in front of him should have died two days ago, just like Tommy: "Why are you here?"
Mu Li scratched his head in embarrassment: "I, I was caught later, and then... I went to the warehouse with them, okay, I took them to the warehouse, and they asked me to be responsible for some small things..."
"Are you working for them?" Buck looked at the long queue and asked with disdain.
Mu Li knew that what he was doing might be looked down upon by his friends, but he still lacked confidence and emphasized: "Yes, I think there is nothing shameful about it."
"I think this is already very embarrassing." Buck didn't quite understand his friend's choice.
Mu Li was immediately annoyed and emphasized the justice of his work for mankind: "At least they don't treat me like those damn noble lords! Although I don't think it's a good thing to do, my family has to eat, right?
What?"
Unfortunately, from the dwarf's point of view, his explanation seems to have no effect.
But Buck was immediately attracted by other important points, changed the topic and asked: "They gave you food?"
"Yes, they gave me food, and extra...cans, candies..." Murry recalled his "salary". These things allowed his family to live a stable life for two days.
The sound of gunfire outside the window became less scary because of these food - at least, they were much better off than when they were oppressed and exploited by the dwarf nobles in the past.
"It seems that you are doing well now." Buck said half sarcastically and half enviously.
Mu Li didn't know whether he was showing off or counterattacking out of anger, but he also said: "It's much better than before."
"Muri! Do you know him?" A Tang soldier in the distance looked over and asked loudly.
Buck saw Murry answering the other party's question and asked: "Is this your new friend?"
"That's right..." Mu Li said in a flattering tone to his face. In fact, the other person was his immediate boss, and he had to work under the other person's supervision...
"Muri! Ask your friend if he is willing to find a job! Come here and be responsible for sharing the food. Like you, he can also take an extra portion and go. If he agrees, you can take another one.
A portion." The Tang Army soldier carrying a gun smiled and gave Muri a surprise.
"Really? Thank you, thank you!" After hearing the last word, Muri immediately showed an excited look on his face: "Did you hear what he said? Work with me and share the food here in the warehouse with all the dwarves!
How about it?"
Buck ignored Murry's excitement and continued to ask: "Are they really planning to give away all the food here?"
In his opinion, opening a warehouse to store grain is simply a lunatic act. The dwarf nobles have always only exploited and confiscated food, and there is no way they can spit out what they eat.
People in the Tang State must be crazy now to share the grain confiscated by others: since the blame belongs to others, isn't it a legitimate operation to stuff the benefits into one's own pockets?
Mu Li nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, they have been sending it all morning. I saw it with my own eyes."
He has been busy here for several hours. From the beginning, no one believed it, but now so many people have heard about it by word of mouth, and he has witnessed it with his own eyes.
In fact, even after a few hours in the morning, the food in the warehouse did not decrease much - in order to fight against the Tang army, the dwarves had stored too many supplies here.
"To all the dwarves?" Buck was already a little shaken. He felt that it was not very accurate to simply regard the other party as an enemy.
Muri continued to nod: "Yes, to all dwarves."
After a simple ideological struggle, Buck made his own judgment: "If you just send things to the dwarves, I think I can help...but I have to go back and tell Mary."
In his opinion, if you give food to the dwarves so that they will no longer starve, this is not betraying the dwarves.
Seeing that his friend agreed, Mu Li nodded quickly: "Of course! You can go back with the potatoes!"
"No need to queue?" Buck was surprised again.
Mu Li smiled evilly and patted his chest, as if he was a big shot: "Why do you stand in line if you know me? Didn't you listen to that adult? He promised to give you a job!"
"I have a job, I'm a worker." Buck finally struggled for a moment.
When he said this, he was overheard by a passing Tang military officer. The other officer immediately stopped and looked at the dwarf: "Are you a worker?"
"..." Buck didn't know what to say, and Muri on the side was also frightened. In his opinion, anyone with stars on their shoulders was a big shot in the Tang Army, and they were the ones he could only look up to.
Seeing that Buck didn't speak, the other party continued to ask: "Can you operate the machinery?"
"Of course." Buck answered the question this time.
The officer laughed: "Yes, the job here may not be suitable for you. Get him double the food and let him get in the car with me!"
"What do you mean?" Buck was stunned and followed the officer's gaze to a jeep in the distance.
The officer explained: "Nothing, there is a shortage of workers at the airport, and you have been selected. If you can do the work there, we will provide you with supplies according to one-third of our ground staff's standard supply! Enough potatoes and flour tubes
, get you another sausage!”
"Understood! You're lucky, man! What's your name?" After hearing his captain say this, the Tang Army soldier who was maintaining order immediately looked at Buck and said with a smile.
Buck was already trembling as he spoke: "Buck, Buck."
"Don't be nervous, have you ever heard of Lord Matthews of the Tang Kingdom?" The officer from the Tang Kingdom mentioned a being who was regarded as an idol by many dwarves.
"Listen, I've heard of it..." Buck, who is a worker, naturally regards "The Wrench of the God of Craftsmen" as his idol. Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire is the God of Craftsmen among many dwarves, and as a
His assistant, the dwarf Matthews, naturally became the "wrench of the God of Artisans".
The Tang officer smiled and patted Buck on the shoulder: "You are under his control now and will work as a worker in the Tang Empire. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand..." Buck instantly felt like he had upgraded.
The car had already driven over, and the officer got into the passenger seat: "Let Buck show the way. Let's go home with him, let him arrange things at home, and then follow us to the airport! Let's go!"

There are things going on today and tomorrow, so the update will be postponed.
