Chapter 161: Those Who Practice Martial Arts!
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaowu glanced at the people in the temple: "If someone wants to follow us, they will never be able to turn back, I have already said everything that should be said, if you don't want to, you can still live your life here." β
The woman looked at Zhang Xiaowu suspiciously, as if she was considering whether his words were true or false, and she might care about anything else, but the sentence of killing all the corrupt officials touched her heart.
"Why should we trust you?" The woman didn't seem to be lying when she saw Zhang Xiaowu, but she still had some doubts in her heart, after all, there were not only young people here, but also old people and children, even if they didn't think about themselves, they had to think about the old people and children.
"You can also not believe me, I have finished what I have to say, if anyone is willing to leave with me, you can go with me now, you don't have to take anything here, as long as someone goes." After Zhang Xiaowu finished speaking, he said to Wu Song: "Let's go." β
Li Hanzi looked at the woman standing in a daze, and squatted on the ground with some annoyance, this is a great thing for them, but he is not alone here, what the woman said is right, they didn't see Zhang Xiaowu's person, so it is normal to have doubts in their hearts, but at the beginning, people did not mean to take in themselves and others, they are old, weak, sick and disabled for others, it is simply a burden to others, and people are willing to take them, which is already a great gift.
"Hanzi, tell me what just happened?" The woman came to Li Hanzi, sat cross-legged on the ground and asked.
At this time, Zhang Xiaowu and Wu Song were already walking back, leaving marks on the way, just in case, which Fluttershy taught him when he was fine.
"Lord, are we really not caring about those people?" Wu Song didn't have too much sympathy for these homeless people, but those children made him a little unbearable.
Just now he clearly saw a little boy gnawing on a piece of elm bark in his mouth to satisfy his hunger, this thing is not eaten by people at all.
The corners of Zhang Xiaowu's mouth raised: "If those people are smart, they will make the right choice, if they really don't want to, we force us to stay, they won't follow us willingly, all the decisions are in their hands, I have already said what should be said, let's go back." β
"That's what the lord said." Wu Song seemed to understand what Zhang Xiaowu meant, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand at Zhang Xiaowu and said with a smile.
When the two returned to their resting place, Wu Yueniang walked over quickly and said, "Official, you're back."
"Hmm." When Zhang Xiaowuyi came back, all the dozen or so homeless people around him stood up.
Wu Yueniang looked behind Zhang Xiaowu and asked, "Officials, what about them?" Didn't come back with you. β
"Wait and see." Zhang Xiaowu knew that even if those people were tempted, they would not easily believe him, especially in such an era of war and chaos, especially for those who were displaced by war.
That's all he can do, just like Zhang Qing said, maybe dozens of hundreds of people, he can still take them in, but there are hundreds of thousands of such homeless, even if he grabs a lot of money, there is no way to settle these people.
The court has no way to deal with these people now, what can they do?
"Childe..." Zhu Yu got out of the car at this time, she fell asleep all the way, if it weren't for the noise outside, maybe she wouldn't wake up by now.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly turned around and helped Zhu Yu down and said, "Why don't you rest for a while?" β
Zhu Yuxiao's face flushed: "I'm fine, son, are these people?" β
"It's some outcasts." Zhang Xiaowu sighed, no wonder the Northern Song Dynasty would eventually perish, if the emperor could really settle all these refugees, how could there be a rebellion? To put it bluntly, these emperors are to blame for everything.
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, Zhang Qing suddenly ran to Zhang Xiaowu's side and said, "Lord, someone is here." β
Sure enough, when the words fell, a lot of people came out of the grass, including men and women, as well as old people and children, led by the woman who had spoken to Zhang Xiaowu before.
"Benefactor." Li Hanzi ran to Zhang Xiaowu's side and said with a happy face: "We are willing to leave with you." β
The woman before also came to Zhang Xiaowu, knelt on one knee and said, "I didn't know what happened just now, if you have offended, please forgive me." β
Zhang Xiaowu looked at the woman's neat movements and asked, "Are you a martial artist?" β
The woman raised her head, her dark face made it difficult to see her face clearly, but she still nodded and said: "Don't hide it from your benefactor, the little girl and her father make a living by selling art on the streets, and they have learned some kung fu." β
"Okay." Zhang Xiaowu smiled, what he lacks most now is such a person, and when he recovers the four people on Huangmen Mountain, the size of his team should not be small, even if he arrives in Liangshan like this, there will be a place for them.
"Yueniang, let's see if there are any extra clothes, find them for these people, and if not, take out some of our own for them." After Zhang Xiaowu finished speaking, he said to Zhang Qing: "Go and distribute those foods to everyone, and take out a few strings of copper coins to distribute to them." β
Zhang Xiaowu has never been stingy with his own people, there is a lot of money in the box, but he still has a lot of use, at least these people follow him, and they will not starve and freeze in the future.
Although there are not many clothes, it is enough for a small number of people to change into new clothes, but these people are still discouraged, and almost all of them are women, and the men are much cleaner, at least they can see their looks clearly, Zhang Xiaowu asked puzzledly: "Girl, don't you all need to wash your face?" β
"Thisβ" The woman hesitated, then turned to the women and said, "Go to the lake and wash your face, we don't have to cover it up like this in the future." β
The women cheered, thanked Zhang Xiaowu and hurriedly ran towards the lake, and the woman explained: "The benefactor doesn't know that robbers are rampant around here, and they often rob some young and beautiful women for them to play, so for the sake of safety, we made this decision." β
Zhang Xiaowu's expression moved: "You mean that there are more than your group of homeless people around here, right?" β
"Hmm." The woman nodded and said, "There are a lot of people like us around here, but they don't have as many people as us, so even if there are robbers, they will only bully them weakly, or maybe we have always been careful, so we haven't been discovered by the bandits." β
