Working Prophet

After dealing with the people in the yard, Jin Tong searched the two rooms at the back and found no other people.

However, the food stored by this group of children was found in one of the rooms, leaving only two pieces of black bread, a piece of bacon from an unknown animal, and a half-pot of boiled beans.

It happened that Jin Tong was hungry at this time, so he took all these things to the yard. He took a bite of the black bread first, and felt a little bit chewy, so he threw it aside.

Then I put my nose to the pot of beans and smelled them. I didn't smell any strange smell. Then I picked them up with a spoon and ate them with the piece of bacon.

Listening to the sound of him eating, the five people on the ground couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and at the same time they felt sorry for the bread he threw away.

Wendy was not lying when she said that it was not easy to get food in the city now, otherwise they would not go out to rob.

Jin Tong finished half the pot of beans in a short while, licked his lips with unfinished content, and said to the five people on the ground.

"I have a few questions……"

"You bad guy, you stole our food, we won't answer you!" shouted the youngest child.

Jin Tong smiled, "You have never killed anyone, but I have, and the number is quite large, hundreds of people."

"you are lying!"

"I did not lie."

"So it turns out that having two days off from school is not a good thing," Wendy sneered, "your hands are also stained with blood."

"Those people were all killed when I was still working as a dog for Herodotus." Jin Tong said leisurely, and then continued after a pause.

"But I don't mind killing more people for Shuangxiujiao. There are still many people in this world who deserve to die."

Wendy felt a hint of killing intent, and she realized that the man in front of her was not joking.

So after a moment of silence, she finally gave in, "If we answer your question, will you let us go?"

"This depends on your performance." Jin Tong said, "The first question is, where did the hand crossbows in your hands come from?"

"It was left by Aylin's father. He was originally a guard of the Raimondi family and was killed by people from the Blood Moon Society." After speaking, Wendy glanced at Golden Eyes again.

There was no expression on the latter's face, and he could not tell that he was dissatisfied with her answer. "Second question, do you know Brad, the shoemaker from Perfume Street?"

"I know him." The young man named Tommen replied quickly. "About a year ago, he moved out of Scale City. It is said that he planned to go to Rock Snow City to open a new store with his brothers."

"What about Boggs the Butcher in Blessing Square?"

Boys and girls, you look at me and I look at you. After a moment, the youngest child said, "I saw him a week ago, but then I heard that he was called to help at the military camp."

Jin Tong frowned, and Wendy said at the side, "The three people you are looking for... probably have nothing to do with each other."

"This is not something you should be concerned about." Jin Tong said, "I have finished asking my questions. Next, I want you to do another thing for me and leave as many cross marks as possible in the city.

"You can carve it on the wall, on the ground, on the tree... It doesn't have to be too conspicuous, but try to find as many places as possible to carve it."

The five people knew that they had no choice, so they could only nod and agree.

Afterwards, Jin Tong walked over to untie them, but when Wendy was left alone, Jin Tong stopped.

"You don't have to go, just stay with me to prevent others from doing anything outside."

The four people who went out didn't come back until dark. They were already hungry and their stomachs were growling.

Jin Tong ignored them. The four of them could only pick up the black bread that Jin Tong had thrown on the ground and share it with Wendy silently.

They were very tired after an afternoon of hard work. When they got back to the house, they lay down on the bed, but they couldn't fall asleep.

Because Jin Tong was lying in the room next to them.

Some people suggested waiting for Jin Tong to fall asleep and secretly wipe his neck. However, they were worried that Jin Tong had not slept to death and would suffer disaster if he found out. Others said that they should take this opportunity to escape.

Just when the guys were quarreling, Wendy said, "Escape and then, where do we go and what do we eat? How can we survive in the city without this shelter?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Aylin gritted his teeth, "Then we have no choice but to take action. He has so much money with him. As long as we can grab it, no one will have to go hungry in the future."

Mentioning the heavy bag of gold coins, the hearts of the boys and girls became warm again.

However, Wendy poured cold water on her again, "We can't keep the money."

"We have hand crossbows." Aylin was unconvinced.

"But have you ever killed anyone?" Wendy asked, "Before, there were five of us against one, and you and Tommen pointed crossbows at that guy, but in the end he turned around and tied us all up."

"Then we just wait to die," the eldest among them, Galen, frowned. "He has eaten all the beans and the bacon is gone. We can still pick up the bread he doesn't want and eat it tonight. What will we do tomorrow?"

"Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to fight again."

After Galen finished speaking, before the next person could speak, Jin Tong's voice sounded outside the door.

"How's it going? Have you come up with the outcome of your discussion?"

The room suddenly became quiet.

Jin Tong opened the door and came in from the outside, his eyes swept across the five people in the room, with a half-smile on his face.

At this time Wendy suddenly said, "Our discussion has reached a conclusion, and we plan to join the weekend teaching."

"Um?"

"I don't plan to stay in Scaled City any longer. There's nothing worth remembering here anyway. I want to go to the green fields, but I just don't know if I can find a job there to support myself."

This answer surprised Jin Tong, and he touched his chin, "You want to go to Green Field? It's not difficult to fill your stomach there. Many places are short of manpower, and you can get two days off for every five days of work."

"That's okay." Wendy said, "Can you take me away?"

"No." Jin Tong said, "I have other tasks, and I am not a monk responsible for preaching, and I am not responsible for recruiting believers. But...when I finish my work, I will see if I can help you. Take it away."

After saying that, he looked at the other four people, "What about you?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Aylin said, "I won't leave. My father asked me to serve the Raimondi family before he died. I want to stay here and help them take back the Scaled City."

"Please wake up, Aylin." Wendy said, "The Raimondi family is finished. All their people are dead."

"There are also side branches." Aylin muttered.

"Then it won't be too late for you to come and help when they call back. Okay, it's settled, you'll come with us."

Wendy was obviously the leader of this small group. As soon as she spoke, Aylin, although still a little reluctant, finally stopped clamoring to stay.
