Chapter 249
Of course, those girls in the barrack would not ask Chu Yunsheng, this old man, to wash their clothes. Although it was the dark age and orders and morals had already collapsed outside the castle, the people inside the castle still wanted to maintain some basic orders and moral principles. After all, men and women were still different.
There had been a shortage of fuels in the yellow mountain area for quite some time, so the supplies like gasoline would have to be given to the armor division first. That was why even those horsewomen also needed to use the dead tree branches to cook meals.
Every day when the hazy shimmer was about to disappear from the sky, a group of refugees would appear at the entrance of the castle to deliver woods in exchange for a small amount of food.
And Chu Yunsheng’s job was to re-process those branches, splitting them into small pieces so that it would be easy to use. In addition to that, he also needed to make charcoal for those upper-class women to keep their heatings running.
It was not a heavy job, but it was not an easy task either. In terms of preparing the meal, they would not give it to a person who had just come to the castle. There were many new kinds of toxins appearing around the world every day, who knows if Chu Yunsheng was sent to the castle by the castle of raging fire or not, so they had someone they trusted to prepare the meal in the barrack.
But it didn’t take Chu Yunsheng long to get to know his two new “colleagues”. One of them was his “subordinate”, a young man whose name was Xiao Sha, who was responsible for delivering the wood to the barrack. Another one was his superior auntie Wang, who was responsible for preparing the meal. Although they had different tasks, they were all managed by that Mammy Sun woman.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t know whether it was the thing that happened at the entrance of the barrack that made the Mommy Sun feel embarrassed or not, she would always cause trouble for him. If it weren’t for the fact that Xu Qingshu was the person who brought him in, it might’ve been even worse.
Luckily, auntie Wang and Xiao Sha were much more friendly. Both of them often told Chu Yunsheng that it was not a big deal, and he needed to endure it, it would be over soon and it wasn’t easy to get a job in the barrack, so don’t waste the opportunity.
But soon, Ning Huiyan noticed Xu Qingshu’s weakness, this woman was always trying to protect the ordinary people in a corner of the courtyard.
The entrance to the courtyard was blocked by the building debris, most of the people who lived in the courtyard were ordinary men. Even if they could climb over that debris, they also could not survive outside.
Ning Huiyan immediately turned around and swung the sword at one of the corners, where people were hiding. He wanted to force Xu Qingshu to save them so he could gain the upper hand of the fight…
Xu Qingshu’s face instantly dropped. However, just when Ning Huiyan thought that his plan was successful. The arrow that Xu Qingshu had shot out to block his energy blade suddenly changed the direction and flew straight towards Ning Huiyan.
She wanted to give up protecting those ordinary people and use this opportunity to kill Ning Huiyan.
While they both were thinking that their plan was perfect!
Chu Yunsheng was struggling to make a decision. With his speed, he could easily pull away Yuan Qiyang to dodge the flaming blade. However, Auntie Wang and Xiao Sha behind him would definitely die.
But if he used his ability, then he would be exposed to everyone here.
It was an extremely difficult choice to make!
However, the flying flaming blade did not give him much time to think, he needed to act as soon as possible!
