Chapter 232 The Taken Girls

The large beach in Roseburg is bustling with activity and will serve as a market for some time to come.

The "army" of migratory bird-like merchants arrived safely, and almost everyone had great hopes for the Russians. It is said that the Russians grabbed huge wealth during the war? Businessmen are eager to get a piece of the pie now.

Rurik's cousin Arik took on the job of maintaining order and bought some leather jackets for himself and his guys.

Almost all leather jackets come from Verdegen. Look, many young Russian men generously took out their silver coins, put on brand-new cowhide clothes and showed off happily.

For the time being, Arik has no time to take care of his younger brother, even though his younger brother now carries the leader's sword to perform the duties of the leader.

Finally, someone hurried to the noisy market and found the shouting Arik among the chaotic crowd.

"Arik, hurry! The son of Odin wants you to take your brothers and go there quickly." The messenger was in a panic, and his right hand kept pointing in the direction of Gould's mansion.

“Don’t you see what I’m busy with?”

“Aric, this is an order. The son of Odin requires us to go now, preferably with as much as possible. Some elderly men from the tribe went there."

What are you doing there? Could it be that the little brother is in trouble?

At this moment, Arik raised his arms and shouted, which fully demonstrated the appeal of a young military commander.

In a short period of time, more than 200 men heard the news and followed closely behind Arik.

Of course, more people still rely on the market to buy all kinds of useful things before spending their budget.

Aric came with a large group of men, almost all of them with swords attached to them. They came here as if they were here to fight.

As a result, after learning Rurik's decision, everyone was not only shocked, but also happy.

In a short period of time, Rurik and the female leader of Ostara, Carlotta, had an in-depth conversation about future matters.

Now, what more can the people of Ostara ask for? As long as we can live with more dignity, we will be extremely happy.

So Rurik and Carlotta made an agreement on how to settle most of the refugees immediately.

Aric came excitedly with the men, including many older ones. After everyone learned about Rurik's very responsible decision, they immediately struck up a conversation with this group of refugees.

Those women with their children escaped death and have been surviving for two months.

Let the suffering of the past be gone forever, and a new life must begin.

All the women with children found their new destination, which was to marry the Russians who approached them immediately.

After all, they are women, especially younger women who have given birth to children. Because of this experience, they basically have no worries about dystocia when they give birth again.

Some Russian men have no worries at all. They only want a wife. They make promises to refugee women and even point out Rurik as a witness to the promise.

They, who were almost without a living source, immediately accepted the offer. Then, she continued to pull or hold her children, and left with her new husband.

For them, a new life has begun.

Carlotta was a little sad and a little relieved.

The tribesmen did not become slaves, but became wives of allied people.

But now that things are like this, can the Ostara tribe be revived? The tribe has lost all the men who can hold weapons, and it is the greatest luck that the remaining women and children can be taken in or even adopted by the people of the allies. But they are tantamount to giving up their identity as Ostara, and now they want to live as a new Russian identity.

In addition, there are a group of orphans from Ostara, and they are all girls.

She is a girl now, and ten years later she will be a woman, and then she will be the mother of Rose’s new generation.

The best way Rurik could think of to settle them was to find a foster family for them. I'm afraid that can't be regarded as a real foster home. Rurik firmly believes that when he decides to implement this decision, it is equivalent to identifying his future wife to his subordinates.

The women with children have all left, leaving a group of orphan girls standing blankly. They basically know that their so-called leaders are now dependent on strong men, and as for themselves...

Rurik called many more boys, all of whom he considered powerful beings. To be precise, Rurik divided the boys he trained into groups, and the smallest unit was a group of ten. The people he called were "team leaders" and talents who were destined to grow into strong men in Kong Wu.

The girls gathered together and Rurik's guys were ordered to stand in a line.

They are all under the close attention of everyone. Gould, Harold Johnson, and other well-known guys are already talking happily.

Rurik held his sword. He had already dealt with too many things while standing. Now that the sun was setting, he felt tired. He just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.

"Brothers, I won't talk nonsense. You are loyal to me, of course I have to show it. Look at these girls, they are almost the same age as you. Although it is not in line with our etiquette, I It’s decided. You will take them all away today and get engaged when they are twelve years old!”

Hearing this, the girls were surprised and happy, but the boys were just ecstatic.

Even though they are still children, now they are really looking forward to their twelfth birthday, eager to be eligible to get married as soon as possible, and then become real warriors.

"Choose for yourselves!" After Rurik gave the order, the boys hurried over, aiming at their targets and grabbing each other'sWrist and go.

"What a bunch of impatient guys. I hope you will be very brave on the battlefield in the future." Rurik didn't say much, his eyes were always observing.

My subordinates are only ** years old. Rather than choosing their future wives themselves, it is more appropriate to say that they are looking for a childhood playmate of the opposite sex.

Brulik watched helplessly as Kanuf took the two girls' wrists, his freckled face burst into laughter.

Among all his subordinates, only Fisk remained calm, but the boy's frown made Rurik feel that the matter was not simple.

Fisk did not choose his woman, and Rurik had no intention of treating his loyal man badly.

Some time ago, Rurik accidentally discovered a pair of twin sisters among the refugees. If you think about it, they are very cute, but it is sad that their home was destroyed by the war. Now these two girls are the only ones not involved, and even a fool can understand that these two girls, Rurik, have other plans.

In other words, from the beginning, Rurik wanted to hand over the two girls to Fisk, who was already ten years old. Unexpectedly, Fisk frowned.

All the refugee girls have their own destination, and Carlotta is very happy about this situation.

Fisk, who was empty-handed, was at a loss for a moment.

"Fisk!" Rurik asked loudly with a wink: "Don't you choose one?"

"Do you have to?"

" Why not? You are getting married soon."

"Yes! Because of my family..." Fiske wanted to say that he was poor. With the care of my own buddies, the difficult times are over. That is, the number of family members suddenly increased, and the standard of living dropped again.

"Come here." Rurik waved his hand, and then pushed the two women hiding in the snow to the front desk.

"I'll leave these two girls to you."

"Is this...appropriate?" Facing girls of almost the same age, Fisk actually felt a little shy. The two girls also held hands and hooked their heads, shy and at a loss.

"You are actually shy. You are a man, and you are a general I can trust. Accept what I reward you." After saying that, Rurik pushed the two women's backs hard with both hands. Pushing them towards Fisk.

“Listen, their families were killed by Danes. Fisk, your father was killed by Danes too. Almost all of us have relatives who were killed by Danes. Maybe you can have a lot to say with them."

The two girls clearly realized what Rurik said. They raised their heads at the same time and looked at Fisk's face with trembling eyes.

Everything is left unsaid.

Fisk spread his hands to conquer them, and his tight mouth and determined eyes were equivalent to a promise to his woman: he must take revenge on the Danes.

RurikThe corners of his mouth curled up in relief, and he then shouted loudly: "Brothers, they are your family now. I order you to treat them well. You don't have to worry about eating at all, and the same goes for your women, two pounds of fish a day , this is my reward."

In an instant, Fisk took the lead and shouted "Ula", and the others moved when they heard the sound.

The children’s roars amazed the onlookers.

The slogan "Ula" obviously has no special meaning, but this slogan is shouted rhythmically to Rurik, so it is very meaningful.

It can be said that this slogan symbolizes that Rurik has already established an authority, rather than relying on the sword of the leader's father.

In a short period of time, women with children and orphans whose families were wiped out all found new homes.

Carlotta pulled her sister Ella’s little hand. Not only were the two of them stunned, but their ears could also hear a group of children cheering for Rurik.

But now, he and his sister are really alone.

The female leader of the Ostara tribe? Is there any point now? Do you really expect your own belly to rebuild a tribe?

"So, who will be my husband? Could it be him?" Carlotta looked directly at Rurik's back. The more she murmured in her heart, the worse her mood became. It's complicated.

Finally, two gentle hands covered the little faces of Carlotta and Ella respectively.

They looked up and saw a wrinkled middle-aged woman with a peaceful attitude.

"Madam, are you..." Carlotta asked weakly.

"I am the chief's wife and Rurik's mother. Child, be my child, okay?"

"I... maybe I should think about it again."

"No need to think about it anymore." Niya said with a smile: "I will take care of you like your biological mother. The real leader of the Ross tribe will be your father. You see. Niya pointed to her son: "Rurik, the future leader of the Rus, will be your brother. Children, what do you think?"

Do you still want to think about it?

Carlotta and Ella longed to be adopted by the leader of Ross. Carlotta did not dare to think too much, and she had no way to think too much.

"Okay, Mom." Carlotta entered the state instantly. Ella saw her sister's behavior and reluctantly called her mother.

Niya smiled happily. She leaned her face close to her children's ears and said, "What a smart boy. From now on, you will live with Rurik. Well... until Forever."

This was Niya's hint. She didn't expect that Carlotta actually knew everything.

"Mom, I understand."

"Oh? You understand?"

"Yes, I...Ella and I, Will... become Rurik's wife.So be it. ”

“Of course. Would you like to? "Niya asked knowingly.

"I do. Coming to the Ross tribe is really the most correct choice for us Ostara people. "While talking, Carlotta simply burst into tears.

"Child, don't cry. Let's live a good life from now on. "Niya wiped Carlotta's tears with her left hand, and subconsciously pinched Ella's chubby little face with her right hand. She thought Carlotta cried because she was moved, but this was only part of the truth.

Carlotta is still a little sad. After all, the refugees in Ostara have been guaranteed survival, and everyone has dignity in the future. However, Ostara has been absorbed by the Ross tribe, becoming a complete and independent entity. Ostara may no longer exist.

Niya was very happy to adopt the last two sisters of the Ostara tribe. She even wished that her son and these two girls would grow up instantly. Afterwards, they got married.

The Svetalana in the East was something Niya didn’t know and couldn’t touch. Although she saw Rumia every day, she was a deer herder and a servant after all. There is some grudge in my heart.

Carlotta and Ella are different. They are naturally beautiful, and their extremely strong qualities are also respected by the Russians when they grow up. They must be very outstanding women, not to mention their status is also very noble.

Pinching the cheeks of the two girls, Niya even thought of names for her grandchildren, which were the two who died. The name of his son.

There is no question of good or bad luck here. Niya only wants his two grandsons to inherit the names of their deceased uncles and make up for the lingering mourning in Niya's life. The pain of having a child.

The mother took in the female leader of the Ostara tribe as her daughter. At this time, Rurik did not resist at all, and he was fully mentally prepared.

In this way, the refugees in Ostara have a good destination.

Next, there are still many people who need a clear destination.

This is a very difficult problem. The two large "barracks and dormitories" built by Rurik can be put into use, but the number of people coming is so large that the mere barracks cannot be crowded.

What's more, those two barracks can't be accommodated. Each barracks has its own purpose.

One barracks is for the most loyal servants, and the other is for mercenaries.

The current problem is that there are too many people coming. The existing infrastructure is completely unable to meet the actual needs.

Rurik realizes the seriousness of the problem and the urgency of change.

Because, although it is the end of August, winter is approaching. !

A batch of strong and warm houses must be built before winter. They do not need to be made of wood with wooden floors and fireplaces. They can be built according to the traditional longhouses. That is the ultimate goal. Make sure they don't freeze to death.

Give all the servants safety and plenty of food. Rurik is not a saint who helps people in trouble.

All servants are useful, taking in the Ostarans, and the Rus people also need to benefit from their righteous deeds. Because this is not the territory of the Ostara people, they have to pay "rent" to take them in. The rent is certainly easy to negotiate, but they are currently penniless, so they still have to pay some price. The women who brought up the children became the wives of the Rus, and this was a price. The orphan refugee girl became the future wife of his men, which was also a price.

At this price, everyone can be in trouble.

As for the servants that Gould obtained through various channels, they must pay for them unconditionally in exchange for food for survival and the right to live in a warm house from their masters.

However, Rurik did have a strong sense of compassion. Faced with a large group of beggars who were said to have been picked up, Rurik had already made a decision.

Don’t look at the people who were transported, there were a huge number of girls.

Many tribesmen feel that the role of these children is really insignificant, but Rurik doesn’t think so. Compared with boys, these girls who have lost their support know how to seize opportunities best and have an extremely strong desire for a stable and peaceful life. And because they are women, they are basically insulated from armed rebellion.

Whether they are refugee girls or beggars picked up at the Merlaren joint, they will all become laborers. Although it was impossible to expect them to do physical work, Rurik only planned to arrange for them to do highly technical work. For example, making soap, or working in the blacksmith shop. Even cutting grass in the wilderness and bringing it back to feed reindeer.

No matter how weak they are, they are still a labor force! Of course, the situation will be better if you receive some cultural education.

Rurik had already thought about it. During the boring winter, he would become a teacher and give some cultural lessons to his subordinates, especially to popularize practical mathematics knowledge. Now it seems that the students who can be educated have become Very much. If you just become a teacher yourself, you will be so exhausted that you will pass out?

Rurik thought of Rumia, this girl could be said to be his first student. After all, students must also become teachers to educate more students.

As for the food issue, this is not a problem, but it is also an issue that Rurik must negotiate with Gould immediately.

And this is what Rurik and Gould agreed to discuss tonight.

On the afternoon of arriving in Hong Kong, there were all kinds of people including refugees, servants and mercenaries. Rurik thought that the resettlement work for these people had been completed. To accommodate so many people, Gould would definitely be able to provide a lot of help. Before the construction of the new house was completed, Rurik felt that he needed continuous help from Gould.

Gould is a businessman seeking money, and on this basis, he is also a guy who understands current affairs.

Rurik knew that today, as the leader of the Ross, he had to finalize the biggest business deal in the history of the Ross tribe with this person, and the business would be negotiated immediately!
