Chapter 294 Information
Although the village was not far from Mo City, the journey was arduous for them.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Fortunately, before the guard captain led them away, he had everyone remove the door panels and have several adult men hold them up to protect their families.

If there are no able-bodied young men in the family, they will be protected by the guard team.

Nevertheless, rainwater was still blown in by the wind.

Left with no other choice, they had to nail the bed sheets to the door panel to use as curtains.

They walked for almost half a day before finally seeing the city gate of Mo City.

The exhausted villagers finally roused themselves.

Strangely, the gates of Mo City were tightly closed, and there were no guards in sight.

The captain quickly sent someone to knock on the door.

On the city wall, the guards only opened the city gate after recognizing their own men.

He asked curiously, "It was fine when we left, why is it closed now?"

The guards were also exasperated. "What? Didn't you encounter any wild animals?"

It turns out that this rain affected not only humans, but also the wild animals in the vicinity.

Just now, a group of wild boars charged over, trying to rush into the city.

Fortunately, the old guard reacted quickly and directed everyone to close the gate, preventing the wild boars from rushing in and instead causing them to crash straight into the protective barrier.

To prevent attacks from other wild animals, the city lord ordered the city gates to be temporarily closed, allowing only humans to enter.

The guard glanced at the disheveled villagers and sighed.

"You guys are actually in a better situation; the worst off are those caravans."

It turned out that there was another caravan being escorted to Mo City ahead of them.

However, they were very unlucky. First, they were stopped by the rain, and then they encountered wild animals.

The goods were all lost, and there were also casualties.

If the Mo City Guard hadn't discovered them, the entire caravan would probably have been wiped out.

When they arrived in Mo City, almost everyone was seriously injured, and now the city's clinics are full.

Fortunately, although the villagers were also injured, their injuries were not serious.

Just take a bath with clean water, and that will do.

The captain of the guard led the group of villagers into Mo City and took them to the office to complete the formalities.

At first, everyone was hesitant to go inside the clean and tidy lobby.

After all, their clothes were tattered and their feet were covered in mud.

They were afraid that if they went in, they would be kicked out.

It wasn't until the captain of the guard led Julian inside, successfully completed the formalities, and received the house that everyone truly believed it.

The arrival in the city went incredibly smoothly; Julian's family was immediately settled into a clean and tidy house.

Mom was captivated by the transparent glass, and Dad marveled at it.

They arrived a little late and were assigned to the 5th floor.

Lower floors will be prioritized for families with elderly members.

Even though it was on the fifth floor, Julian's family was quite satisfied.

After the initial excitement, the couple looked at the bundle in their hands and began to feel sorry for the luggage they had abandoned.

Dad was being unreasonable. "It's all those people's fault. They wouldn't let us bring anything."

Mom chimed in, "That's right, all my clothes, my pots and pans, were left behind."

That was their life's savings; even a broken bowl was a treasure.

Julian remained silent until he saw a familiar figure downstairs.

He stood at the window and shouted, "Brother Chad!"

But perhaps because it was too high above the ground, or perhaps because of the obstruction of the window, Chad did not hear it.

Julian simply watched as Chad led little Jar away. Jar was only two years younger than him, but Julian envied him greatly.

Although he has no parents and only his grandmother and sister at home, his brother Chad treats him very well.

Chad was very clever; he learned to read on his own and even taught little Jar to read.

Julian also wanted to learn to read, but his family had no money and no teacher would teach him.

He envied, even felt jealous of, young Jarrett.

Seeing the two people walk out of the residential area, Julian unconsciously followed them, wanting to see what they were up to.

However, as soon as Julian went downstairs, he saw a large crowd gathered there.

Among them are people from Julian's former village, as well as people from other villages.

Everyone's clothes were torn, and they were still wet from the rain.

But now, everyone is disregarding their own needs and gathering around one person.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Can we really get jobs at that factory?"

"They really provide meals and offer free literacy lessons?"

"My daughter is 16 this year, is she able to go?"

"My son is only 12, but he's very strong and can do any kind of work!"

Everyone was talking at once, making a lot of noise, and the people upstairs could hear it.

The man surrounded in the middle had a pretty good temper and didn't get angry at all.

"Don't worry, everyone. The specific recruitment standards will be released tomorrow, and everyone will have a chance!"

Moving to the city means being unable to grow food and feed oneself.

Every day in the city, even eating saliva costs money.

Although there is a house, meals are not included.

Now that people hear there are jobs available in the city with no barriers to entry and anyone with strength can do them, everyone is eager to sign up.

They were afraid that if they were too late, they wouldn't be able to get the job.

The man who came to deliver the message was also from the village.

He was eloquent and good-looking, which caught the eye of a girl in the city, who took him in as her son-in-law.

Although he didn't have a high status in the family.

But even though he was considered a city dweller in the village, he could often find out things that the villagers didn't know.

He also enjoyed the villagers' adulation of him, and would go back to the village to share any news he had.

Although he's a bit of a show-off, he's not a bad person at heart.

Upon learning that factories in the city were hiring and that the land needed to be cultivated, he immediately ran home to tell his fellow villagers.

But he didn't expect that the villagers from each village were now living together in this community.

As soon as the news spread, everyone knew.

The man felt a pang of regret, realizing he shouldn't have blurted it out.

But the words have already been spoken, and it's too late to regret them.

In addition, this news is not a secret, and the staff at the office will also remind the villagers to pay attention to recruitment information.

However, people didn't believe it, thinking that such a good thing wouldn't happen to them.

In addition, the villagers were somewhat in awe of these staff members and dared not ask too many questions.

Now that a man has confirmed the news, everyone is certain that they really won't starve to death!
Julian mingled outside the crowd, piecing together information from small groups of people.

He was excited. If the recruitment threshold wasn't high, could he also get in?

What excited him most was not the opportunity to work in the factory, but the fact that he had heard that he could learn to read for free here!
Julian's greatest desire was to learn to read, so that he could escape his hateful hometown and fly far away.

Could it be that Chad took Jarl out for this very reason?
Julian's beloved Chad was currently strolling around the neighborhood with little Jarl.
