Chapter 13 Stay if you want, leave if you want

In the past few days, the victims of the disaster have wanted to stay, and I have asked them to go to the dilapidated temple nearby to live temporarily, and I promised them that I would help them find a way, and if I agreed, I would do it. I asked Xiao Luzi, Qinghe, Xing'er and Li Qi to accompany me to find them, there were two abandoned temples near this, we went to the nearest temple to us first, from a distance to see the old and barren, overgrown with weeds, a desolate, when we walked in, we saw someone was making a fire, a dilapidated and rusty pot, there was wild vegetable porridge boiling in it, there were many children around the pot to watch, I was afraid that the food in the pot would suddenly disappear.

Looking at such a scene, I feel very uncomfortable, these people could have lived happily, but now they are ...... I didn't feel emotion and walked over quickly, "Aunt Qin." ”

"Oh, Miss Wang, why are you here? Come and sit. After speaking, he wanted to clean up the place and let me sit down, but after looking at it, he said, "Miss Wang, I'm really sorry, it's too dirty here, and it's not good to invite you to sit." Rubbing his hands together embarrassedly.

"It's nothing, Aunt Qin. I have a message to tell you this time, hey, what about Uncle Qin? ”

"They went to the neighborhood to see if they could catch some rabbits and pheasants or something, and more and more people came, and the food you gave us couldn't help so many people to eat."

"Then you tell me, I'll let them send you some!"

"No need, Miss Wang, it's too much trouble for you. It's been you delivering food to us for so long, and everyone can't help it. I thought I could go and dig some wild vegetables nearby, catch some game or something. ”

"Then Uncle Qin, when will they come back?"

"They've been out for quite a long time, and they should be coming back soon." As soon as the words fell, a voice came from there.

"Baby, come and see, what did we catch today?"

"Daddy, you're back, look who's coming."

Qin Shisuo opened the sweat on his forehead, and looked at it, "Miss Wang, why are you here?" ”

"Baby,, you won't let Miss Wang sit."

Aunt Qin knocked on Qin Shisuo's head, "You fool, you don't look at it, how are we sitting here." ”

"Hehe, yes. I'm really sorry, Miss Wang, I have to let you stand. "I'm embarrassed to touch my head.

"Uncle Qin, it's okay, have all the people come back?"

"It's all back."

"Alright, I've got news for you, let them all come."

"Oh, good." He turned around and walked to the door of the temple and shouted, "Hey, everyone come here, Miss Wang said that there is news to us." Come on. ”

As soon as some people heard the news, they all ran to Qin Shisuo's side and asked, "Hey, Brother Qin, do you know what is going on?" ”

"How do I know, wait a while, Miss Wang will tell us, let's go, let's go."

As soon as people heard "Okay, Miss Wang is a good person, she said that if there is something, it must be a good thing, let's go over quickly." ”

After a while, they all gathered around. They were all talking about what this Miss Wang would say later, and their voices came and went without stopping. Qin Shisuo looked at everyone's gossip and yelled, "Everyone stop talking, you guys are so noisy, how can Miss Wang talk!" It's all quiet! ”

"Miss Wang, say it! Everybody's here! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Qin, I know everyone is curious, what am I going to say?"

Someone couldn't wait to say, "Yes, Miss Wang, what the hell is going on!" ”

"Hehe, I know you can't wait now, I want to ask you, do you all want to stay, or do you want to go somewhere else, give me a letter."

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and everyone didn't know what to say. Slowly, there were some discussions, they were all heated discussions, and I was not in a hurry, let them think about it.

One person had the courage to ask: "Miss Wang, we are all fleeing from the famine, some of us have relatives in other places and will leave after a while, and some of us have come with the whole family and have no relatives, just like settling down here." ”

"Which of you are looking for relatives?"

"Me"

"Me too"

…… One after another, 4 or 5 families said that they were going to look for relatives, they really had no money here, they were hungry and had no strength, so they were with everyone, and if they had money to go on the road, they would still go to find relatives. Some people said that when the disaster is over, they will still return to their hometowns. The remaining 3 families include Qin Shisuo's family, who decided to stay. Those who want to go to their relatives, I said to them, "If you want to go to your relatives, come to Qinghe, and I will give you two taels of silver, and you can go to look for your relatives tomorrow." ”

Their faces were incredulous, "Miss Wang, are you telling the truth?" ”

"I'm naturally talking, and I'll have the money ready for you."

"So, can we get the money now?" Someone said excitedly.

"Yes."

"Oh, that's great." Someone cheered. "So, Miss Wang, how much can we get?"

"You and Qinghe tell where you are going and how many people there are, and Qinghe will prepare for you according to your situation."

"I, I'll come first"

"I'll come first, I'll come"

…… Several people rushed to Qinghe to get the money, these people can't stay, even if people stay, their hearts are not there, they lose their hearts when they see the money, and they can't stay. But in such a world, they are no wonder!

"Is there anyone else you want to leave? Those who remain have no money, and those who are going to leave have entanglements. Apricot said.

At first, some people were hesitant to take it or not, but when they saw someone holding the silver with white flowers, they couldn't bear to go to Qinghe to get the money. In addition to the original 3 families, there is also an additional family, I looked at this family, the man's wife wanted to get the money, that look felt that the whole person wanted to paste it, but her man didn't give it, so she had to give up, but her eyes were always staring.

I asked, "Why didn't you go get the money?" ”

"Miss Wang, how can I go and get the money? When we were dying of hunger, you were the one who gave us food to eat, and after knowing that we lived here, you gave us quilts. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to take your money! Qin Shisuo said, Aunt Qin beside her also nodded, and several families next to her also agreed. I really didn't see the wrong person, I can rest assured that Qin Shisuo's family.

I asked the person who said he wanted to go back to his hometown, "Don't you want to go back to your hometown?" Why not take the money? ”

The man said innocently: "Miss Wang, I'm stupid and can't speak, I know everything you have done for all of us, if I take your money now, I will be too inhuman." ”

"But you need money to go back to your hometown!"

"I, I, I can work to make money, I can go to the mountains to catch some game to make money. This money will definitely be there. ”

has backbone, this person is not bad, but his wife is a little, but it seems that his wife is still quite afraid of him, as long as she can manage it.

"And what about your kids?"

"They can all endure hardship, as long as they have a bite to eat and don't starve to death."

I nodded and didn't say anything, those who got the money, those who want to stay in the broken temple stay in the broken temple, and those who want to go to find relatives are ready to leave tomorrow. The remaining 4 families who didn't take the money, I asked them to come to my door early tomorrow morning and tell them something.

Then I went to another broken temple, it was still the same, the one who took the money left, and the one who didn't take the money came to my door tomorrow morning. There was a little bit of an episode on our way home, and I actually thought it would happen, and I didn't want it to happen, but I still couldn't escape the greed of human nature. About 10 minutes after we left the ruined temple, there was a group of people who wanted to rob us, some of these people lived in the ruined temple, and some of them were fresh faces, which made people feel very bad, and these people were too shameless to say, just like the dogs you picked up, and after 2 days, they joined forces with other stray dogs to bite you.

There were 7 or 8 people coming, all with sticks in their hands, looking like hungry wolves, there were only 5 of us, 3 women, 2 men, Xing'er and I were still children, although I could protect myself, but now there are so many people, I can't show it. At this time, Ah Fu said to Qinghe: "Protect Miss." ”

"Don't worry, I'll protect Miss." Qinghe said firmly.

I want her to protect me, but I might as well protect her! But what I didn't expect was that Qinghe was usually Swenwen, and he was not ambiguous when he moved, don't look at the other party as a man, Qinghe is flexible! The stick couldn't touch her, Qinghe was pleasantly surprised, and Ah Fu also surprised me, he can also do kung fu, and he is not weak, and soon these people were subdued. I asked Li Qi to report to the official, these people don't teach a lesson, and the next time they are unlucky, it will be someone else, and they must not be tolerated.

The government soon came and took them away. This is good for them, there is food in the prison, they can't starve them, and they can not be noticed. After this episode, I went home and told my father about what had happened this afternoon, and of course some things were passed by. Today, in addition to the money to buy the mountain, it cost more than 100 taels of silver to those victims, but I am confident that I will be able to help my family earn it back soon.

Early the next morning, those who wanted to stay gathered at the door, and there were 7 families in total. After a while, they all got acquainted with each other, and when they saw me come out, they all quieted down.

"I know, you all want to stay, I want to ask, are you willing to sign a long-term agreement with my family?"

"Long-term work agreement?"

"Yes, that's right! Long-term agreements. In fact, you don't have to worry, this agreement means that you are working for my family, and you can't work in other places during the period when you sign the contract, and you also have to keep it confidential, and you can't tell others what you see and learn here, teach others, and can't hurt the interests of my family. Of course, during the period when you signed the contract, I provided you with accommodation, food, 3 sets of new clothes per person a year, and if you did a good job, you would not only have monthly money, but also dividends at the end of the year. You guys can think about it. ”

"Miss Wang, I don't have to think about it, I'll sign it." Qin Shisuo was the first to say.

Then the families signed, and I looked at them and smiled and said, "As long as you believe in me, I can lead you to a better life." ”

"Okay."

"Okay, we believe."

The agreement signed with the person who said he wanted to return to his hometown was only 2 years, and when he wanted to return to his hometown, he would return to his hometown, he wanted to stay, and he was signing a new agreement.

"Then the first thing we will do is to rebuild your home with you. Come with me. And with that, I led them to the mountain where I had bought.

"From today on, from now on, you live here."

"Miss Wang, oh, no. Now I'm going to change my name to Miss. ”

"It's nothing, you can call me Wan'er, you don't need to care about the title."

"Hehe, I'll call you Miss anyway. Miss, you say we can live here? ”

"Yes, my family has already bought this mountain, you can build a house on this vacant land, there are trees on the mountain, you can cut it down yourself, and build it however you want. I'll ask Xiao Luzi and Li Qi to send you bricks, can any of you carpenter? ”

"Me"

I saw that it was the person who told me yesterday that he was going to work to make money. "I've learned some carpentry, tables, chairs, and beds, and I can do it."

"That's good, there are some pots and pans or something, I'll have someone bring them to you. If there's anything missing, you just have to talk to Qinghe. ”
