Eight hundred and eighty-fifth chapter employment (two)

Jin Kang and Zhao Rong were wandering around the slave market. They saw many people who sold themselves or their labor force, but no matter how they looked, they felt that they were not the ones they wanted.

However, at a corner of the street, Jin Kang's footsteps stopped. There were six worn-out children standing there, with a piece of hay lying around their necks. This was to sell themselves in the slave market. Most of them looked around seven or eight to fourteen or fifteen, and they might have a pale face and skinny due to insufficient nutrition.

Seeing them stopping, a person with clear eyes among the children, like their heads, hurriedly said, "Two sirs, do you need to buy servants? We can do any work and eat any hardships. As long as we have a full meal, we can do it."

Seeing that Jin Kang and the other two had no intention of leaving, one of the little girls also plucked up the courage to come up and said, "We are children from Fushantang, Xianxiang, and are all orphans. However, the good people who recently sponsored us suffered a disaster of monsters, died of people and money, and they were no longer able to fund us."

She was eloquent, although she was young, and she had no intention of being timid.

Fushan Hall, orphan.

These two words hit Jin Kang's heart heavily, causing his heart to be inexplicably painful. Orphan, he was an orphan, and his parents died under the pressure of Shang when he was still young! In those years, without the love of his parents and the support of his brother and sister. Those dull and weak years, when they were in front of him, they were also confused and frost all the way.

It was not until I was admitted to Jinyuan Academy and now graduated and became the captain of the Musket Team that a bright way of life seemed to have emerged.

Jin Kang read a lot, had a wide range of knowledge, and attached great importance to information from all parties. He knew that Fushantang, Yuedongxian City, Guzhu Country, was a good house that specialized in adopting orphans. It was opened by a local cloth merchant and took in many orphans. The big cloth merchant was also called a good person in all corners of the country. Unexpectedly, such a good person was plagued by the disaster of monsters and his family's property was ruined, which really made people sigh. Or, it was fine if he died, but no one could help the orphans in the shrine.

Jin Kang was hesitating. It was not that he didn't want to hire these children, it was not that he didn't want to give them a bite of food. The key was that he had a mission and tasks. He needed some people who could really work, and the place where Longling camp was located was relatively dangerous and would be invaded by monsters at all times. Can these thin children be willing to go to that dangerous place?

When they encounter danger, Jin Kang and others can’t take care of themselves, what should they do?

In this fairyland, they either go hungry or bullied, but at the foot of Lingshan, the place where monsters are rampantly active will die at any time.

He himself did not dare to guarantee that one day, or that a brutal monster would attack Longling Camp. This is why the original Guzhu Kingdom garrison retreated.

"This immortal, really, we can do anything." Seeing Jin Kang think for a long time, several children were anxious, "You can do dirty work, hard work, and tiring work! Moreover, we, we don't charge wages, as long as we can fill our stomachs, oh no, sir, we don't need to eat enough, as long as we can't starve to death!"

The little girl hesitated for a long time, finally gritted her teeth and plucked up the courage to say, "Sir, I, I am still young, but as long as you hire us, I, in a few years, I can warm you up the bed..."

Listening to the little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old saying such words, Jin Kang felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer in his heart. He also bit his teeth in secret. What does this cruel world and the cruel rules of survival game turn people into!

"I can't hire you." Finally, Jin Kang said in a heavy tone. He reached out to the bag and took out a few gold dollars. "You can use this money first. After a while, if you have the chance, I will find a way to help you."

The eyes of several children quickly dimmed, and they did not go to receive the gold dollar. They knew that what they needed was not temporary relief, but long-term solutions. There was always a time when these gold dollars were spent. Moreover, it was very likely that they were snatched away by the evil people before they could spend it.

"Sir Xianshi, you are about the same age as us, and you should be able to understand the psychology of our peers. It is not easy for you immortals to go out to practice, and it is even more difficult for us children without parents. We really need a stable job. Moreover, not only for our own survival work, but also for our sick brothers and sisters in the hospital, we need us. We cannot sit and wait for death." The heads of the children said, and actually knelt down to Jinkang, and the other children also knelt down immediately.

"Captain." Zhao Rong looked at these children with unbearable feelings.

"Get up first. Get up first." Jin Kang was panicked when he was kneeling in front of him for the first time. He wanted these children to get up, but they still insisted on kneeling on the ground.

They knew that people like Jin Kang who are willing to talk to them, are kind to them, are even willing to give them gold and Yuan, are their only hope for survival.

"Please, Lord Xianshi, let alone these things, we really don't want to spend our best youth in the orphanage, and we don't want to be sold out without dignity and freedom in the future, as slaves and servants!" said the girl.

This remark touched Jin Kang's heart again. He recalled the past that he couldn't bear to look back on. He was also wondering, if he had not passed the Jinyuan Academy, would he have lived his whole life like these children?

These children's unfaithful attitude reminded him of his own mental journey.

Finally, he made a decision and said in a deep voice: "The place I want to go, at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, may also face vicious and cruel monsters. If you follow me, you may face these brutal monsters in the future, or even die in a disabled and dead. I cannot guarantee your safety."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly, "Because, I am just a junior immortal master."

The leading child is fifteen years old, taller, but obviously lacking nutrition. After hearing Jin Ling's words, he lowered his head, clenched his fists, and then raised his head firmly and said, "Sir, we know that some people in this world are actually much more terrible than monsters! Some of us are on the verge of death and only need a few silver dollars to save their lives. But they are asking drug dealers for no one to give them, and they watch them die on the streets of wind and snow! Some girls are better-looking, only eight or nine years old, but are bought from the yard by evil people with sinister intentions and are insulted and persecuted! Some are simply sold and become coolies in the black kiln! Hundreds of children in the orphanage die and disappear many times every year! We are willing to follow the adults!"
