our family is gone

Chapter 44 Home Visit
"My lord, I have really corrected it."

Disma thought that Lance was warning him not to mess around, so he quickly defended himself.

Lance glanced at him and complained:

"I'm not joking with you, we are not members of the church, there is no need to ban those."

Speaking of which, Lance took out a bag and handed it to him.

"You worked hard on the last mission. This is your mission reward. Have fun, and it can be regarded as boosting the town's economy."

Lance is also quite helpless about the existence of the brothel.

His policies are aimed at those who are willing to exchange labor for money, but not everyone is willing to do so, and some people would rather idle than work.

And this kind of people has nothing to do with gender, there are men and women, but the difference is that in this era, women can lie down and make money.

He has fought for better positions for those women, but not all women are willing to ask for dignity, especially some of these people have been doing this before.

Not to mention that people in this world are very dependent on brothels. Those bachelors have two dollars to find women. He wanted to crack down on this kind of crime, but found that the cost was too high, which triggered some The problem is that he doesn't have so many people, nor does he have the time to take care of these things.

In the end, he found that blocking is worse than sparse. He has no choice but to regulate and restrict them to those women who voluntarily do this. level.

As for the pheasant caught, it is a fine plus confinement, and severe punishment.

Lance didn't expect that he would be a pimp one day. He can only say that he has paid too much to save the family.

Walking on the streets at night and looking at the sparsely lit lights is still very fulfilling. This place cannot withstand another bandit invasion.

Whether it's for myself to survive or to protect everything here, those bandits must die!
Lance didn't go back, but turned around and came to a house, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

The door opened and there was a middle-aged woman, but she didn't expect it to be Lance, and she was dumbfounded the moment they met.

"Good evening." Lance greeted with a smile.

"Leader... Your lord..." The woman seemed a little at a loss in her haste.

"Don't ask me to come in and sit down?"

Lance was smiling, and there was no negative emotion in the woman's expression.

"Ah! My lord, please come in." Only then did the woman realize that she hurried out of the door, "My lord, I'm so sorry."

The woman muttered words of apology, afraid that the lord would blame herself, and even more afraid that her son would be involved because of her rude behavior.

"It's okay." Lance comforted softly, looked at the humble house, and found that she was the only one at home, "Isn't Vic at home?"

"He took his brother to class, do you need me to call him back?"

Vic was the most outstanding one in the training camp, so he attracted Lance's attention.

The barracks haven't been built yet, so most of the recruits will go home at night, and this is still learning after there is no supervision, which shows that he is right.

As for learning, Lance arranged a literacy class in the square. After get off work at night, a bonfire would be set up, and then someone would teach some simple vocabulary to everyone.

After Lance emphasized the emphasis on intellectuals, there will be quite a lot of people attending classes at night. In order to attract those children, he also prepared some snacks.

There is no ability to form a school yet, so the transition can only be done in this way.

"No need." Lance sat down at random and changed the subject, "What are you having for dinner tonight?"

"Have black bread and vegetable chowder."

It was obviously just a very ordinary meal that didn't even have any meat, but when it came to this woman's face finally showed a smile, it was very simple, but very real.

Lance continued to chat with her in a calm tone, and the woman gradually relaxed and began to talk to him about some situations.

Her family was an ordinary peasant household before the bandits arrived. The husband and wife had two sons. The life of a family of four was not very good, but it was considered happy.

Until the arrival of the bandits, her husband was transferred to serve as cannon fodder, and the body could not be found anywhere.

Fortunately, the location of their home is relatively backward, and they have more time to escape, so they survived with their two sons.

It's just that they didn't fall under the butcher's knife of the bandits, but fell into the hands of the mayor. The soaring prices devoured their last drop of flesh and blood. She wanted to sell herself as a farmer because no one wanted her with her two children.

She even thought about committing suicide that day, but she persevered for the sake of her two children and went to the wilderness to dig wild vegetable roots at the risk of being attacked by wild animals.

But soon there was no food left for the tree roots, and the family almost starved to death after starving for a few days.

Fortunately, the lord soon appeared and executed the evil mayor. The three-day porridge really saved their family, not to mention the stabilization of food prices later, and various jobs, life is recovering rapidly.

As for the extra rules and regulations, as long as they abide by them, she trusts the lord unconditionally.

And the thing that made her most proud was that her eldest son was selected by the lord to enter the training camp.

After talking, it became the woman's home field instead, and Lance just listened passively.

However, Lance was also very relieved to hear that the woman's life had improved, and his efforts had been recognized.

"The child trained so hard, I told him not to bring eggs to his brother. He insisted that the lord treats them very well, there is milk in the training camp, and there is meat in the daily meals."

"He came back that day and took out a copper coin and handed it to me, saying that it was the word he remembered the most. The lord rewarded him."

"I gave him the money back and told him he was an adult now."

"Later he used the money to buy milk and said he wanted us to taste what it was like."

"It's sweet, I've never had such a delicious drink."

"He gave the rest to his younger brother, saying that he performed well and could eat meat frequently in the training camp, and said that he would buy meat to celebrate when he passed the examination."

"The child laughed happily, and the younger brother also laughed happily when he heard that there was meat to eat."

"Wait a few days to save some money and then buy some meat for the children. Vic is very tired from training, and his brother is also growing."

The woman's thoughts did not make Lance feel bored, on the contrary, this kind of paternalism made his tense nerves relax, and his eagerness to face the bandits gradually slowed down.

"Who is here?"

The door was pushed open, and Lance looked up to see a half-grown young man walking in with his younger brother.

The figure of the young man is a little thin, but his eyes are full of hope for life, which seems to have infinite possibilities.
