Chapter 57: Sister and Brother
Jiang Hong looked at the two sisters and brothers who were brought over, the younger brother was a little scared and hid behind his sister, and the elder sister was also very scared, but she still stubbornly protected her younger brother behind her.
Jiang Hong stretched out his hand to lift the girl's chin, the girl wanted to resist, but was restrained by Jiang Hong's soldiers, Jiang Hong looked at the girl carefully.
"Huh." Jiang Hong suddenly laughed, "It's a beauty." ”
"Don't touch my sister." The little boy who was hiding behind him suddenly rushed out and shouted at Jiang Hong.
"What's your name?" Jiang Hong ignored the little boy and asked the girl.
"Li Lan." The girl replied.
"Li Lan." Jiang Hong repeated it slowly, and then asked, "Do you want to leave here?" ”
"Where are you going?" Li Lan asked very defensively.
"Hehe, where are you going? Go to the city, eat hot meals, wear warm clothes, and never worry about being scared again, go? Jiang Hong asked with a smile.
Li Lan looked at his younger brother, and when he heard Jiang Hong's words, his eyes were full of longing, Li Lan turned around and said:
"Okay, talk the talk."
"Of course." Jiang Hong turned his head and instructed his subordinates, "Take them to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion and let the old bustard take good care of them, and I will go over to see the two of them at night." ”
Looking at the two sisters and brothers who were far away, Jiang Hong touched his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Cao Yi came over and said:
"My lord, I've kept those orphans outside, you see?"
"Is it all out there? Let's go over it. Jiang Hong replied.
Looking at the dozens of orphans who were cowering and constantly talking to each other, Jiang Hong didn't make a sound, just looked at them quietly.
Seeing that the leaders of the soldiers did not speak, the children kept scanning them like a tiger examining their prey, and gradually they all fell silent.
"Good." Jiang Hong smiled and said loudly, "My name is Jiang Hong, and I am the county commander of Sheyang. ”
When those children heard this, the person in front of them was actually the county magistrate of Sheyang, and they heard that the county magistrate of Sheyang was a good person along the way, and he was willing to take in the homeless, it seemed that he was saved, everyone was talking about it, and even a few jumped up and cheered.
Jiang Hong looked at them coldly and whispered a few words to the soldiers beside him.
Immediately, several soldiers approached the crowd, dragged out the most detached children, and hit them with sticks.
The screams suddenly frightened these children, and they didn't dare to make a sound, Jiang Hong raised his hand to stop the beating of the soldiers.
"Shall I tell you again?" Jiang Hong's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of every child.
"Today is the first day we have met, and I don't want to see blood." Jiang Hong said again, and then asked the soldiers to put back the children who had been beaten with sticks.
"This is just a small lesson, I just want you to understand one thing, I, Jiang Hong." Jiang Hong pointed to his chest, "I took you in, saved you, gave you food, clothed you, and didn't let you freeze to death or starve to death in the wild this winter." ”
"In return, I want you to give your loyalty, your body, your everything, but above all, I want you to know what it means to be obedient, and that only obedient children can eat." Jiang Hong said slowly.
"What I want you to do, it's not difficult." Jiang Hong suddenly smiled and said, "It's good to stand for an hour, but no other movements are allowed, just standing, and those who pass the test will have food tonight." ”
Children are so active that it is not easy for them to stand in a daze for an hour, not to mention that in the bleak north wind, many people will go to bed hungry tonight.
"Cao Yi, this group of children will be handed over to you first." Jiang Hong said.
"Oh, ah!??" Cao Yi responded, and then shouted again.
"I know you want to go back to the army." Jiang Hong persuaded earnestly, "Just help me take care of this group of children first, pay attention, don't die, after this matter is over, you will come back to be the commander of my own army." ”
Ecstasy appeared on Cao Yi's face, but Jiang Hong said:
"But I have a request, I want these children to be loyal to me alone, not to let them learn anything else, let them recognize the master first."
"Wrap it up with me." Cao Yi slapped his chest thumping, exuding a philosophical ♂ aura all over his body.
Jiang Hong, who felt a chill, hurriedly stayed away from Cao Yi, and just as Xu Cong also rushed out of the county, Jiang Hong asked Cao Yi to hand over to him the items of the homeless gathering place first, and he went around again.
After turning for a long time, Jiang Hong's old driver's eyes no longer saw a suitable candidate, he rubbed his eyes, and didn't look for it, let's go and see how Chen Dao and Huang Yuan are doing.
He was busy until the night was getting darker, Jiang Hong thought that there were still two little guests in the Zuixiang Pavilion, so he left first, and when he came to the Zuixiang Pavilion, the old bustard guarding the door saw Jiang Hong from afar and hurriedly came to greet him.
Jiang Hong waved his hand, and his soldiers also understood and separated the old bustard, and the poor old bustard waited at the door for an afternoon, and was separated without even saying a word.
Approaching the private room, I saw two children wearing new clothes and feeling uncomfortable all over their bodies, but I have to say that people rely on clothes and rely on gold clothes, and Li Lan, who was dressed cleanly, gave Jiang Hong, who approached the door, a feeling of amazement.
It's not enough to describe it amazingly, there is also a very clean feeling, even Li Lan's younger brother is very delicate, and he has to sigh at the strength of genes.
"You're so beautiful, I'm really reluctant to let you go?" Jiang Hong laughed in a low voice.
Jiang Hong sat down, wrapped himself in a leather coat, blew hot air on his somewhat frozen hands, rubbed them, picked up chopsticks, ignored the two of them, and feasted on himself.
When the little boy saw a table of delicacies, his eyes were full of irrepressible longing, but his sister stopped him again and again.
"Want to eat?" Jiang Hong raised the meatloaf in his hand.
"Yes." The boy replied crisply, Li Lan didn't speak, but kept swallowing.
"Eat, I can't finish this table alone." Jiang Hong said very casually.
Hearing Jiang Hong say this, the two of them no longer restrained, picked up the food on the table and devoured it, Jiang Hong leaned on the backrest, quietly looking at the sister and brother.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Hong saw that the two of them had finished eating, and asked.
"It's delicious." Even Li Lan couldn't stop nodding.
"Now that we're done, let's get down to business." Jiang Hong said lightly.
"You, I want you." Jiang Hong pointed at Li Lan, "Do something for me." ”
"Do what?" Li Lan asked.
"I'll tell you later, but you still need to train for now." Jiang Hong beckoned to the old bustard, "She will teach you how to do it in the future." ”
"As for you." Jiang Hong looked at the little boy, "I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and even marry a wife and have children, as long as your sister repays me well." ”
"So can you say yes?" Jiang Hong looked at Li Lan quietly.
Li Lan didn't know what she would face once she agreed, she might pay for her body or even her life, but Li Lan looked down at her young brother, and then replied firmly:
"Okay."
"I'll be visiting you often." Jiang Hong stood up, gently stroked Li Lan's slightly red face, and after speaking, turned around and left.
