Chapter 13 Saving Orphans
The two in different time and space have formed a deep family relationship.
After washing up in the dark, Lin Qianxun lay on the bed, and before she could speak, the system spoke one step ahead of her.
"Host, adopt an orphan, you can reward a mysterious gift." The system is now more and more human, but what does this task mean?
"What orphans?" Lin Qianxun was puzzled.
"After many years of war, the soldiers who died in the war and the orphans left behind by the people in the city were unadopted, facing the danger of starvation and being trafficked by human traffickers, so the host had to take action to rescue them." The system sometimes jumps out, sometimes it is serious, and the speed of change is less than one-ten-thousandth of even Lin Qianxun, who thinks he is very powerful, so this brain reacts a little slower.
"Adopting orphans is not a problem, but there are many problems such as the children's diet and daily life in this place of residence, as well as going to school, etc., and I can't be busy alone." Lin Qianxun turned over and said to the void.
The moonlight was sultry tonight, the full moon hung above the sky, and the barracks gradually returned to quiet, with the occasional cicada chirping and frog chirping, mixed with the cooing of owls.
The side of the tent near the moon was slightly brighter, and occasionally the figure of the patrol soldier could be seen projected on the tent, which soon flashed by.
"Rest assured, this host, I will help you when you need it." The system was not afraid of a few points, and answered calmly.
"Then I'll be relieved."
Lin Qianxun was also much more relieved
Lin Qianxun was quiet here, but in the cold tent, the lights were bright, and the two oil lamps were placed in front of the long table, and he held a map in his hand, looking down and frowning carefully.
The sound of cold hands chattering in his ears.
Lord Wang, this Lin girl has good cooking skills.
"Hmm." Leng Shufeng nodded casually, not knowing whether to echo Leng Yan's words or think of something, and spit out a simple syllable in his mouth.
Leng Yan continued.
"Lord Wang, Miss Lin is good-looking, kind-hearted, and a qualified candidate to be the head of the house."
"Hmm." The Cold War and other simple perfunctory.
"Then it's better to go down and ask, Miss Lin has a good impression of the prince, if so, let Miss Lin stay by the prince's side and serve, so that you and Miss Lin are familiar with each other, and when the time comes, please give your majesty a marriage." "The more excited Leng Yan said about this, he couldn't wait to send the two of them into the cave room at this moment, so that they could give birth to a son or a county lord as soon as possible, so that they would also be happy, but this master was only thinking about fighting on the border, and he didn't worry about marriage at all.
"Leng Yan, your skin has been itching again lately?" Leng Chofeng raised his head at some point, his sharp eyes looked at Leng Yan who was happy with himself, he didn't know that the girl was only thinking about eating and collecting useful seeds to benefit the people here, how could she have the idea of clinging to herself, and he was not interested in it at the moment, and he had only known each other for a few days, so let Lin Qianxun combine with him, this is not child's play.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates sincerely hope that you and Miss Lin are well." Leng Yan quietly took a few steps back, and then bent down slightly, with an expression on his face that I am really good for you.
"How can marriage be forced, this king is not a gentleman, nor is he a landlord and an old man, when you see a person who marries one, do you want to start a family?" Leng Shufeng changed the topic, and asked lazily with his chin on his lean.
"Hey, my lord, you're joking with your subordinates, the prince doesn't get married for a day, and his subordinates can't be in front of the prince." Leng Yan looked sincerely frightened, and he was angry when he saw Leng Chofeng.
"Get out." His thin lips opened lightly, and he said coldly.
"Subordinates, get out." Leng Yan rolled on the spot, and soon disappeared from the sight of the cold war wind.
The night passed quickly.
After Lin Qianxun finished breakfast, he took Qiao Mosheng out of the barracks, Da Hei couldn't do without her for a long time, and followed her, walking with elegant steps, walking very leisurely.
"Where is there a little flower in Mosheng City? To be precise, a child without a parent. Lin Qianxun looked at the pedestrians on the street slowly, and the people who came out of the stall had already pushed carts to drive chickens and ducks with backpacks on their backs, occupying a small place in the streets of the city, and then shouted with their throats open.
Such a scene has been staged in Guanshan I don't know how many times, Lin Qianxun has been here for half a month, and she sees it almost every day, from the beginning of the excitement to the final calmness.
"You want to adopt an orphan?" Qiao Mosheng was excited, turned his head abruptly, and asked in surprise.
"Yes, I think they are pitiful, so it's better to adopt them and train them to be my little helpers." Lin Qianxun can't say it, she really wants to train her helpers because of the tasks given by the system, but the best excuse at the moment is to say nothing.
"But there are dozens of orphans in Guanshan City, you live in the barracks now, there can't be women and children in the barracks, you can stay in the camp, and you can come and go freely with the light of Deputy General Leng, if there are more children, the general doesn't say anything., and the general is a little estranged from the opponent, but you can't stand it." Although Qiao Mosheng's official position is not high, he knows more or less about the curves and curves in the camp, so he will put his heart into the road.
"I will build a yard near the barracks, and place them in it, and buy a few foreign domestic servants to take care of me, and I will be very busy lately, and I will open a restaurant in the city, and do business with the Gentiles, and I will earn enough money to feed them for half a year." Lin Qianxun was very moved, although this Qiao Mosheng had just met for a short time, he was really a person who thought about himself, and complicated feelings surged in his heart.
"It's hard to earn money to feed them in half a year, why don't you ask Deputy General Leng to help?" Qiao Mosheng has no business experience, and the pockets of the people in this city are not rich, so it is estimated that it is a little difficult to earn a few thousand taels in half a year.
"No, I always rely on Vice General Leng, I don't have any authority at all, and I don't like to rely on others, I borrowed the start-up capital from them, and the rest has to rely on myself Lin Qianxun understands very well, she knows why Vice General Leng will do his best to help herself, not because she fell from the sky, giving people a misinformation, if everything depends on others, this will not have to be helped sooner or later.
She still acted early, relying on her prophet to earn a pot of gold.
Qiao Mosheng thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he smiled and nodded.
The two and their dog went straight to the refugee camp in the city, where orphaned children lived.
The people on the street looked at these two people with great curiosity, especially Da Hei, who looked like a wolf, and the discussion did not stop all the way over.
finally arrived on the ground, Lin Qianxun was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
"Can there be people living here?" Lin Qianxun has not seen a dirty place, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him, this is simply a mass grave, the children shuttled through the barren grass full of one person high, and from time to time they were tripped by the one-person high artemisia grass, making a muffled sound, and soon got up again, and ran into the one-person high weedy field with a smoke.
Some of the children were dressed in tatters, thin and short, with messy hair and dirty faces that could not be seen clearly.
"I can't live anymore, I can't help it, our children in the village who don't have parents can live like this, but with the protection of the clansmen, they won't starve to death." Qiao Mosheng was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and felt sorry for them, although he was not rich, he had a place to live, and these children, I don't know if they had anything to eat, they were dressed in tatters, if it rained, or in winter, whether they could survive or not.
"Doesn't the imperial court give money for relief?" Lin Qianxun asked very puzzled
"The money for relief was allocated from the imperial court, and after passing through various government offices, there were not many people who could finally reach the people, and besides, there were no people who went to the government to receive the money for relief, so I don't know where the silver ended up." Qiao Mosheng shook his head sarcastically, walking in front of Lin Qianxun, looking at the road ahead while beating with a stick, he was not short, but walking in this dense grass, he was faintly blocked from sight, and the tall and dense grass was very cold inside, and after walking for a long time, he felt cold all over.
There are also a lot of small insects inside, such as rat women, rats, and even snakes as thin as fingers.
Lin Qianxun's sideburns were wet, his back was densely covered with a layer of sweat, and his hair was full of all kinds of small particles.
About a dozen children, barefoot in a makeshift room, and about twenty little dolls that looked like little radish heads, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their ribs clearly visible, if a gust of wind blew, they would probably be blown away.
"Who are you?" There was a boy, more alert, when he saw the adult and a dog like a wolf standing a few meters away from their territory, staring at them directly, his eyes flashed with shock, distress and a trace of horror.
"We're looking for you, are all the kids here?" Lin Qianxun tried her best to make her voice softer, who knew that the more she was like this, the more people felt that she must have bad intentions, and the children looked at them very vigilantly, each clenching their little fists, ready to fight with them at any time.
Qiao Mosheng glanced at them, then at Lin Qianxun, and spoke.
"We are not shooting flowers, nor are we Xiao Si who buys servants from big families, let alone turtles in the flower building, we are sergeants, and we came to you today to give you a stable home."
As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of chattering.
Shock, surprise and doubts flashed in their eyes, but there was no joy, Qiao Mosheng saw it in his eyes, and silently felt sorry for them, but more joy, at least they were not children who could be deceived so easily with things.
"What this brother said is true, my name is Lin Qianxun, temporarily borrowed to live in the barracks, the main purpose of coming out today is to take you to live a good life, I know that you may have concerns, suspicions, and puzzles, thinking that we can't eat and dress all day long, and we are beaten and scolded, and the two of them suddenly said that they want to take us to live a good life, and they must not be well-intentioned. Don't worry, my sister promised not to lie to you with her life. Lin Qianxun felt very uncomfortable, the oldest of these children was only ten years old, the youngest was about three years old, because she couldn't eat, she was as thin as a little monkey, she saw it in her eyes, it hurt in her heart, no matter whether the system would help or not, she would do her best to help them, let them be fed and clothed, and read books, she didn't ask for the grace of dripping water to be reciprocated, she only hoped that the children could grow up happily, and then be the pillars of the country.
"Really?" A little girl asked timidly.
"Really, my sister never lies, otherwise how would I come back here?" Lin Qianxun squatted down and stretched out his hands to signal the little girl to come over, the little girl had a pair of big eyes and looked at the big child in the lead from time to time.
"Mo Sheng, you go to Vice General Leng, set up a yard before noon, change clothes, bedding, and food, we will move in today." Lin Qianxun looked at the children timidly and a little longing at him, and turned back.
"Are you okay?" He looked around with some concern The barren grass is full of large and small graves, and there are often wild things here, he is afraid that Lin Qianxun will be in danger.
"Do you think Vice Leng will let you stay with me alone?" Lian Qianhiro said with a smile
"I see, then I'll go back first, and I'll be back soon." Qiao Mosheng suddenly realized, his eyes glanced at the void, and then he was shocked that the branches not far away shook, he was not sure if it was a bird or a person, but in the end, it all came down to the protector sent by Leng Yan.
Qiao Mosheng soon left.
Right now, it's just Lin Qianhiro and the children.
"I really don't have to be afraid, my sister is not a bad person, I just want to help you live a stable life, you don't have to be hungry, you don't have to be warm. However, I won't let you just eat and not do work, such as washing clothes, helping to take care of your younger siblings, literacy, and washing your own clothes, you can do that, right? Lin Qianxun's fear just now quickly disappeared, she stood up and looked at this simple house, which was made up of dead branches and weeds in the mountains, the area was not very large, but it was not small, it could accommodate twenty people, and the more she looked at it, the more sad she became.
The children have been a little loose from the resistance at the beginning to now, in fact, when the children heard the food, the mental defense line they wore collapsed suddenly, and they had long wanted to go back with Lin Qianxun, and the older and sensible ones had just broken a little bit of the mental defense line, and Lin Qianxun needed to continue to work hard, yes, which world did not have a free lunch, even this little child knew it, why didn't adults understand it.
"This sister, what you said is true, don't buy me, you want to support us." A little girl stood up, bolder than the others, estimated that she had suffered too much, the child urgently needed to want a stable life, not exposed to the wind and sun, not hungry, not sick, endure loneliness and discomfort, she didn't seem to be afraid of where to take her, she just wanted to eat a full meal.
"Why do you trust people so easily, don't you know that two days ago in the rich house on the street, someone killed a child and threw it like a dead dog to a mass grave, and not long after the wild dogs that came out on their backs to forage for food, did you still want to be like her? The man in the lead still didn't believe that Lin Qianxun had such a good heart, he had seen too many people, he had suffered too many eyes, and he had lived a tormented and long life from the moment his parents left, and he had cultivated a sensitive and suspicious heart.
"I'm going to follow, I can't eat enough every day, I can't dress warmly, look at these younger brothers and sisters, I'm so hungry that I lose my face, big tiger, we'd rather be beaten to death by the big people than starved to death, it's too uncomfortable to be hungry." The little girl shook her hand fiercely, she was less than eight years old, she had suffered a lot, and now someone pulled her out of the sea of suffering, she had to follow, even if she was a slave and a maid, she was beaten to death, and I had to follow this sister to death.
For a while, in this simple venue, there were cries and shouts one after another.
"Big Tiger, I really don't have bad intentions." Lin Qianxun waved his hand helplessly, hugged the crying little girl in his arms, and gently wiped away her tears.
"Who knows, there are people in the city who look like they are smiling, and it is very powerful to beat children in secret, and you look like you are also smiling, but who knows if you will be as bad as them?" , "The big tiger is still stubborn and suspicious, Lin Qianxun is very relieved to be like this.
"I understand your concerns, it's good that you have such a high level of vigilance, but it would be foolish to be too vigilant. In this world, there are many kind-hearted people like me, who are as compassionate as the bodhisattvas you believe in, and as jealous as hatred, otherwise what are the chivalrous people in this world for? Lin Qianxun still explained patiently and gently, the child endured the pain of the destruction of the family, and later suffered from the white eyes of people, and the soul was shrouded in a thick layer of armor, and it was normal to not be able to break it for a while, she believed that after a long time, it would warm up his hard heart.
The children seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Lin Qianxun looked good-looking, had a warm smile, and the children's hearts were the cleanest, so they felt her kindness.
Time passed little by little, when the day was on the third pole, Qiao Mosheng came with a few tall soldiers, they had straight faces, walked with the wind, their eyes were as bright as stars, and their bodies exuded a thick iron spirit.
From time to time, the muttering of the people could be heard behind them, and they did not squint.
"Chihiro, we're here." Qiao Mosheng stood outside the mass grave and shouted loudly.
Lin Qianxun, who was playing with the children, suddenly looked happy, and quickly turned around and said to them.
"Let's go."
"Really?" The youngest child, holding Lin Qianxun's thighs, raised his little head like a radish head, and asked.
"Really, let's go, you don't want these things, the sister who wears it will buy it for you, and you can't eat too much at once, you haven't eaten for a long time, you eat too much, it's easy to hold it on the spot, after we go back, eat some hot porridge first, and wait for a few days when your stomach is well regulated, my sister will make you a hot hot pot, and find a few foreigners to serve your daily life?" Lin Qianxun bent down to pick up the two smallest and lightest, and said with a smile.
"Okay." The two children tentatively grabbed her by the collar, their eyes bright, and the high emotions suddenly made their yellow and thin faces a little dizzy.
"Here we are." Lin Qianxun was afraid that they would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly answered.
