Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 955 The Team is Well-Fed, Well-Drinked, and Well-Trained

After returning to the carriage, Chu Chen said to Chang Shou, "Go and distribute the grain to everyone!"

After hearing this, Chang Shou jogged all the way to the open space surrounded by the thugs and looked at the grain scattered on the ground.

They immediately took action.

He called on Wang Baiwan and Tang Dali to send out a large number of people, and in less than half an hour, they had emptied the open space of grain and distributed it among the refugees.

Chu Chen then took out some ingredients from the carriage and handed them to a woman behind him.

"Go cook, we need to eat too."

So the clean-dressed women also began to busy themselves around the carriage.

The only person who didn't move was the girl who went out with Chu Chen yesterday.

Seeing this, Chu Chen pointed at the girl and said, "Come here!"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's command, the girl quickly walked to the carriage, looked up through the window, and waited for Chu Chen's instructions.

"Alright, don't be so serious, come in and talk."

Upon hearing this, the woman's heart tightened, wondering if the young master intended to have an intimate relationship with her.

That's so exciting!

So he immediately climbed onto the carriage and crawled inside.

"Don't be shy, have a seat!"

Chu Chen told the girl to sit down, then looked her over. Although the days of fleeing famine had made her look thin and dark-skinned.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that she is different from those women who have spent their lives serving the farmers; she has a solid foundation.

"May I have your name!"

"My lord, my surname is Zhongli, and my given name is Anlan!"

Chu Chen was slightly shocked after hearing this. Zhongli Anlan, Anlan, this name is not something an ordinary peasant girl could come up with.

"Hehe, Zhongli Anlan, Anlan, you must have been a wealthy young lady!"

“Replying to young master, I would not say I come from a wealthy family. My father was Zhong Lishi, a scholar from Lingyang. He was quite learned, which is why he named me Anlan.”

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Your father is quite knowledgeable, but your grandfather isn't so great."

"So you come from a scholarly family. No wonder you're so different from others. Where's your father?"

"You flatter me, sir. My father was so angry that the Lingyang government was embezzling disaster relief funds that he petitioned the court, and he was killed by the government!"

See? Your dad got killed because of the name your grandpa gave him.

Is anyone still at home?

"There's no one left, only I am left."

After saying that, Zhongli Anlan knelt down in the carriage before Chu Chen.

“Young master, Anlan knows you are no ordinary person. Please avenge Anlan. Anlan is willing to spend the rest of her life to repay you.”

"Um... Don't kneel all the time, I don't like it."

“You should also learn to read and write, and learn etiquette, just like your father. So I want to tell you that some hatreds are truly avenged by taking revenge yourself.”

"From now on, you can stay by my side. You can keep me company and talk to me in the carriage!"

After saying that, Chu Chen waved to her.

Anlan nodded slightly after listening, then jumped out of the carriage and joined the cooking team.

But Chu Chen's words kept coming to mind: "Some grudges must be avenged by one's own hands!"

It seems that the young master is testing me. Also, what does "in the future" mean?

Just as she was pondering, a voice came from beside her: "Anlan, is the young master so fast?"

"What so fast?"

"You were only in there for a short while, and you were done?"

"What are you saying, Sister Liu? How could the young master possibly be interested in us!"

The woman nodded in agreement: "Indeed, how could a young master possibly be interested in us?"

If Chu Chen knew these words, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

I felt that these people had already suffered great harm, both mentally and physically, and that it would be bad if I forcibly connected with them again.

How is that any different from the man before?

I never expected that I would be misunderstood so quickly... Hmph, I was quick to draw my gun, though.

Soon after, the aroma of food wafted through the crowd.

Changshou, on the other hand, was extremely busy.

At this rate, we should be able to reach the bandits' territory in less than a month. We need to hurry up and select our three thousand men.

If I'm delayed or unprepared, then this excellent job of working for the young master will probably fall through.

During the lunch break, Changshou selected three thousand people.

After they finished eating quickly, I led them to stand in the open space in front of the carriage.

Chu Chen ignored them and plunged headlong into the group of women.

I sat on the ground with them, holding a bowl in each hand, eating and chatting and laughing with them.

To others, it looked like they were not fleeing a disaster, but simply enjoying life.

With the help of food, the refugees' mindset is slowly changing.

They had experienced so much along the way, from hope to disappointment, from disappointment to despair, and then from despair, they saw hope again because of Chu Chen's appearance.

All of this is exactly what Chu Chen needs to see. All things have spirits, and all living beings have hearts. The different feelings at different times are constantly eroding his cultivation, making him move step by step towards the Saint Realm.

An Lan stayed by Chu Chen's side, serving him.

This made the other women immediately realize that An Lan had now become Chu Chen's personal maid.

Some people inevitably feel jealousy, envy, hatred, and helplessness.

Chu Chen had been observing all of this meticulously; this was also a reflection of human nature!

After finishing his meal, Chu Chen handed the bowl to An Lan and then pulled out a cigarette from his clothes and lit it.

He stood up and walked out of the crowd.

When Chang Shou saw Chu Chen come out, he immediately came forward to greet him: "Young Master, the person you asked me to choose has been selected!"

"Oh, so fast? It seems your speed is much faster than the average person. Not bad, very good."

Chang Shou was overjoyed to receive Chu Chen's praise and led him to the front of the group of people standing in a row, bowing and scraping.

"Young master, these are all skilled fighters from Lingyang City. What do you think of their abilities?"

"Hehe, it's up to you to decide. Your identities mean you're the safety guarantee for this team, and of course, you'll also get more food than they do."

After saying that, Chu Chen looked at the people in front of him and said, "Everyone, turn around and face away."

After everyone turned around, Chu Chen waved his hand and took out several pigs, 10,000 catties of grain, and 3,000 wine jugs filled with wine.

And, three thousand slender steel knives.

Chang Shou was already used to Chu Chen's methods, so he wasn't surprised.

"Alright, the rest is up to you. I trust you."

After saying that, Chu Chen turned and left, returning to the carriage.
