The Musafir
Bringing Up Piles of Meat
“Is he the Generous Young Hero who once shared us food, and now comes to share again?”
“Mana daku know! None of us have ever met him, so how can I know that he is the Generous Young Hero?”
“Ah, you do not need to doubt the young man. His attitude truly reflected heroism. Even though he turns out to be not the young hero who yesterday shared us with those heaps of delicious meat, at least he can be the new young hero!”
“Eh, how can you say a young man if his face alone can not we see? What if the person is old, so it is impolite to call him young?”
MANTINGAN quickly became the talk of the people who followed him behind, who had now reached even hundreds of people, but still the young man was not aware of their presence.
His mind was still lingering on his longing heart across the country, the Angel of the North River; or Pham Lien; or what he had always known as Sasmita. How much he had spent to forget the girl, but still his memories re-exposed at some point, like this moment for example.
The Northern River Angel could not be completely forgotten by him!
Mantingan continued to walk until he had arrived at the Night Gem Inn. It seems that hundreds of people filled the place, of course after Chitra Anggini asked them to gather immediately to get meat for free. The attention of those people was immediately diverted towards the Mantingan that looked to be followed by hundreds of others.
Just contact Mantingan realized from his daydream. He saw hundreds of people who were looking at him with a twinkle of hope in their eyes. Soon he took a deep breath, clearly knowing what to do, though the sadness was still deep in his head.
After wearing a necklace in the form of a badge Kotaraja Love Event, which how on the badge has been printed the palace emblem, the, Mantingan immediately open the voice with the energy in the accompanying so that his voice can be heard clearly by everyone in that place!
“Line regularly, and don't get into a commotion like yesterday!”
Mantingan had heard a story from Chitra Anggini that there had been a bit of commotion as he distributed the food. Of course he doesn't want that to happen again.
“We have all agreed not to be foolish by creating a commotion like yesterday, O generous young hero! We know that we will all get the blessings you give without one being missed, so we don't have to worry about anything anymore!”
Mantingan nodded in satisfaction before asking that the people around him give a little space. According to the young man's request, they rushed away, even further than requested, though they did not really understand what the young man wanted to do.
After getting the empty space in the form of a square with each side length in the range of ten steps, Mantingan immediately placed itself at one end of the square plot. Then his left hand shook, like a wave of a fish tail, and only a mountain of large pieces of meat appeared in front of him!
How shocked were the people around the young man after seeing such a senseless thing for them! Breaths are stifled, even screaming in horror is not able to. They were too surprised!
Anyone in a state of extreme hunger when he saw the pieces of meat, must have gone wild and violent, especially when he knew that the hungry stomach was not only one or two. However, the people who had been waiting there did not behave as such. Aside from the shock still filling their minds, they did not feel the need to scramble for food. With that amount, the entire Kotaraja Slum Settlement can be made full because of it!
After all, they have a common stance, that their fellow poor are brothers, and therefore they should not be greedy and steal what should belong to their brothers.
Meanwhile, Mantingan who had finished calculating the total number of family heads in the place using the Science of Hearing Dew Drops, immediately said loudly, “Each family head takes two pieces of meat. Apart from the head of the family, it is not allowed to take part. If there is any remnant, then share it among you fairly. But before that, Sahaya also wants to share this ..”
The mantan again flicked his left arm, then suddenly appeared wooden boxes that made the residents curious about the contents inside.
“In these boxes are various seeds of medicinal plants, complete with a guide on how to plant them. But this I do not share with certain people, but with all the inhabitants of this place to be planted and cared for together. After entering the harvest time, you can sell it at a fairly expensive price on the market, so for a while you do not need to find work in kotaraja.”
The storyteller in Kotaraja had heard him echo a saying:
If you want to support people one day
give a fish
if you want to live forever
give hooks, nets, or traps
Mantingan then pointed at the frail young man of the innkeeper who was standing just a short distance away from him. It didn't take long, the person immediately walked up to him with a small run.
“There is something that the Hero needs from the servant of distress? As much as possible the dangers meet.”
How could the Mantingan call himself that? He did not ask for their respect, for how he did at this time was of particular interest. But if he refuses to be called so, then surely they will ask for his name, and that is precisely the location of the danger!
“Please keep an eye on this meat division, Brother. Be firm when you see someone breaking the rules, and do not hesitate to call me when you see signs of commotion. I count on you, Brother.” The mantel smiled gently as it patted, the young man's shoulder, which had unwittingly left such a great impression on that person!
“Hero, this message of yours will be a danger take care really!” That's how the frail young man looked down deeply while jutting like a person from the lake of the pejilatan river, with his watery eyes full of water.
