Chapter 278 Suspicion
"..."
After hearing the words of the blind man in front of him, the person in charge glanced up and down at the man who claimed to have lived his whole life.
He's tall, has an extraordinary temperament, and holds a staff sword!
Apart from being a little blind, he doesn't look like the kind of person who would be too poor to eat!
The person in charge couldn't help but frown, and after hesitating, he asked his doubts directly.
Although their recruitment requirements for the East China Sea Navy are a little lower than those at the Navy Headquarters, they don’t recruit everything!
Of course, if it's difficult, they can help with just a meal!
When the man who claimed to be a lifelong man heard the inquiry from the person in charge, he did not hide it. He sighed and said with a hint of regret, "Before I set off, I did have a lot of money on my body. When I heard about the world's conscription, I thought I came here to give it a try, but I didn’t expect that on the way…”
"Have you been robbed?" Before Yisheng could finish his words, the person in charge seemed to have guessed the reason. He looked at him pitifully and said with emotion, "This kind of thing happens all the time. It's good for people to live. In this case …”
The words are not finished yet.
But Yisheng shook his head, "That's not the case!"
"Is it a pirate? This is the same!"
However.
"That's not the case!" Shengsheng still shook his head to deny the person in charge's guess, and said it directly with a regretful tone, "I came across a tavern on the road, and there were people gambling inside. On a whim, I ended up with all my clothes on my body. I’ve lost all my money!”
As soon as these words fell.
"..."
The person in charge who wanted to invite him immediately froze on his face, and even said something in his heart that he almost cursed out. However, considering his current status, he pointed to the front with a dark face and spoke in a cold tone. Said, "Sorry, our meals are provided to those in need!"
"I need it right now!" Faced with the tone of the person in charge, I didn't pay attention to it all my life, and still said with a melancholy tone, "I haven't eaten for three days and three nights, and I am already hungry. If there is no more grain of rice, I am afraid of starving to death on the road. Please give me a bowl of rice. I will be very grateful!"
That tone, that melancholy.
The person in charge was silent.
Especially after seeing that he was silent, the guy in front of him seemed to feel rejected. He shook his head in despair, let out a long sigh, and after saying that, he turned around in a daze, but just as he was about to say When leaving.
The person in charge also sighed and waved his hand, "Go in!"
"?!"
When Yisheng heard this, his face was stunned, and he said with a solemn tone, "I am very grateful!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the back, as if he was already too hungry to stand it.
"Sergeant, are you going to let such a gambler in?" The sailor on the side who was also registering couldn't help but frowned when he saw it. He waited until he was far away before saying, "Although we are asked to lower our requirements a little, but At least he must be a person of good character! I would rather go hungry than spend my money on gambling. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t fit the bill!”
"It's just a meal, there is no other meaning." Hearing his subordinate's words, the sergeant shook his head with a smile and said, "Just treat it as a good relationship!"
As he spoke, he paused slightly and frowned as he looked at the cheerful man who was holding a dinner plate in the team.
"I always feel that this guy is not simple!"
There is no shortage of strong men with various quirks in the sea. If they are just for a little entertainment, that's nothing.
From the beginning, he felt like this guy was testing him?
The sergeant pondered for a moment, "Let me go and take a look! If you really have the ability, I will report it to the superiors. Don't let the talent escape!"
The words fell.
After handing over the work in hand to his subordinates, he followed suit.
…
And the other side.
He entered the temporary shed to get a meal and made no other moves in his life. Just like the refugees who were recruited, he carried the basin and lined up honestly. Although what he just said did not Not all of it is true...for example, he actually had it this morning.
But it was also true... He was indeed hungry now, and he had indeed lost all his money on the road.
As for why you come here?
Originally, he was indeed going to the recruitment point at the Navy Headquarters to sign up, but on the way he heard someone shouting loudly about what the East China Sea Navy had done, so he followed him out of curiosity.
Sheng Sheng held the dinner plate quietly, but his closed eyes scanned the surroundings, as if his blind eyes could really see.
Recruiting refugees, providing meals... It's not strange to have children. The Navy Headquarters will also recruit talented children, but those who are over 50 years old, their hair is a little gray, and they can even walk with a tremble?
This is a little weird!
Perhaps after these older people eat enough, their bodies will become stronger and they will have more strength to walk, but this does not meet the requirements for military conscription!
I have heard about the so-called East China Sea Navy in my life, but I am not very familiar with it. I only know that the Navy Headquarters established itself as the East China Sea Navy after the rebellion of a powerful branch in the East China Sea.
Not a moment.
It has been the turn of a lifetime.
Seemingly noticing that he was a blind man, the cook who was in charge of the dishes and was also a little surprised, but since the people were let in, he didn't say anything about it and said directly, "What do you want?"
"I... I have a big appetite!"
"Hahaha, do you think you'll be hungry after coming here?" Hearing Yisheng's words, the cook was stunned, and then laughed, "Eat as much as you want! If it's not enough, add more! As long as it's not wasted!"
After planting new grain, they are no longer short of food, but they can't waste it!
"In that case, I won't be polite!" After seeing that there was really a child who finished the dishes on the plate and really came to get more dishes, Yisheng couldn't help but smile, "This! This! And this! In addition, can this bowl for rice be changed to a bigger one?"
"Of course! Wait a minute!"
After a while, the cook took a bowl as big as a washbasin, as if he didn't expect it to be really changed, and Yisheng was silent.
But the cook didn't care. He filled him up with a bowl of rice, even the plate, and looked at Yisheng, "Is that enough? If not, add more!"
"... Enough, enough!"
"This isn't much." Even after hearing Yisheng's words, the cook still had some regrets on his face, saying, "I thought you could break the record!"
"Break the record?"
"Nothing! I just saw a guy wearing a straw hat on the Internet who ate a bucket of rice in one meal, and he wasn't full yet. When I heard what you said, I thought I met a big eater today!"
"???"
Internet?
Straw hat?
After hearing what the cook said, Yisheng was stunned, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about, but when he saw that he was busy again, he didn't say anything more, and found a seat in the shed with his plate and bowl.
Walking along the way, I saw people eating with tears in their eyes, including children, boys, girls, and families...My heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He sighed and said, "I hope it's not what I thought!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"What?"
A slightly puzzled voice came from the other side.
