They are all old people, these children are their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, the fathers and uncles of the grandsons have been taken away twice before, and now those people are even twelve or thirteen-year-old children.

They trembled with their hands and tried to untie the rope on the child's body, but if they couldn't untie it, they bit it with their teeth, and the rope was untied, and they hugged each other and cried bitterly, just now, they thought it was the eternal secret.

There are two children who are looking at all this blankly, they have no relatives anymore.

He Ran recognized that this was the child of the mother and son who had asked her for help, and their mother had died under the arrow of the flag officer.

He Ran walked over, and the two children were about the same height, and their appearance was six or seven points similar.

"You're twins?" He Ran asked.

One of the children pointed to the other and said, "I'm the elder brother and he's the younger brother." ”

The other said, "No, I'm my brother!" ”

He Ran hooked the corners of his mouth, of course they knew who the elder brother was, they just wanted to protect the other.

More and more people gathered over, He Ran took a look, and sure enough, as Xiaoli inquired, almost all of them were old and weak women and children.

He Ran asked, "Is it in the middle?" ”

Everyone lowered their heads, and suddenly, the younger brother of the twins said loudly: "It is my father, my father is dead, he was stabbed to death with a spear by the official!" ”

He Ran suddenly remembered what Xiao Li had heard, and she asked, "Your family runs a wine shop?" ”

The young man nodded: "My family's winery has been passed down for several generations, and now it can't be passed on."

The boy choked up and couldn't go on.

An old man said for him: "His father only has one daughter, his mother, and he stayed at home to recruit money, and his father died a long time ago."

The first two times he came to arrest people, his father gave out ten taels of silver, this time, his family could still use silver, but his father helped us people say a few fair words, and was given by the official.

The official also let people smash the wine shop and steal the family's silver, which is not counted, and they have to take their sisters and brothers together! ”

"Brother and sister?" He Ran subconsciously looked at the young man who had just called himself his brother.

The young man hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at He Ran.

He Ran complained in her heart, her problem of separating men and women is only in this life, and she doesn't remember that she has this problem in the first two lives.

The woman's body was still on the path, and the old man did not know that the mother of the two children wanted to protect them from the path, but she took her own life.

She just asked, this village originally had more than 100 households, more than 600 people, after the first two arrests of the strong man, many people fled, now, the village is almost gone, all the people who can go are gone, some go to relatives, and some go to the city, after all, life in the city is still much better.

There are only about 70 people left in the village today.

He Ran said to everyone: "Those people just retreated for a while, and they will come back later, you can't stay here, do you have a place to go?" ”

An old man sighed: "Come on, come on, if you want money, you want to die, my eldest son died, and the two younger sons were taken away by them, and they will give them if they want my old life!" ”

An eight- or nine-year-old female doll hugged his arm: "Master, you can't die, you're dead, what should Nizi do?" ”

At this time, a woman in her forties dragged a young man to He Ran, who was one of the people who had just been rescued.

The woman dragged the young man and knelt in front of He Ran: "Benefactor, this is my youngest son, the two eldest ones in the family have been arrested, today you saved his life, his life is yours, benefactor, please take him away, let him be a little servant for you, don't pay him, you just need to give him a bite to eat, let him live, live, benefactor, please!" Leave a root for my family! ”

He Ran was about to say something, but a few people pulled their children to kneel, these children were all boys, the eldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one was only five or six years old.

In times of crisis, the children whose families want to find a way to survive are all men in the family.

He Ran sighed and said to these people: "I don't need a little girl, and I won't help you keep your bloodline, your children will raise them by themselves, I don't want them." ”

In this life, she will not help others raise her son again, this kind of burdensome and thankless thing is enough once.

Everyone was stunned, this benefactor was tall-headed, his clothes were also gorgeous, and he had martial arts, so he thought he could protect the child, why not?

He Ran looked at them with a speechless expression, and suddenly, she saw more than a dozen girls behind the crowd, some of them were already old, fifteen or sixteen years old, a few of them had a few cloaks, and the clothes on their bodies were obviously torn, and one of the girls had their sleeves torn off, and they could only hide their bare arms behind them.

He Ran has seen too many women who withered in the war, and they were also the daughters of whose families and the granddaughters of whose families.

At first, like these girls, they were shy and young.

He Ran pointed to the girls: "Are they engaged?" If there is anyone who is not engaged, you can come with me, I am a woman! ”

Everyone was stunned, just now they only cared about kneeling and kowtowing, but they didn't even see that this benefactor was a woman, and now if they look closely, it seems that they are a bit neither male nor female.

No wonder I don't want male babies, too, the benefactor doesn't look very old, and it doesn't look like a young woman with a few male babies.

There was silence, and after a while, someone whispered: "My daughter is not engaged, but who knows where these two people came from, what if they are abductors?" ”

"Is there such a crutch? They killed people, and they killed officers and soldiers. ”

"If you want me to say it's better to let them take them away, haven't you seen it these few times? We are little people, where can we keep the child, his second aunt, your granddaughter was almost arrested today, and the daughter of my uncle's family, who pretended to be a male baby was still arrested, and even the daughter-in-law of the fourth aunt's family who was in confinement was almost arrested. ”

"Yes, let those people take the baby away, and the male baby will go to the battlefield, maybe he will survive, but the female baby will not return, and even if she comes back, she will be ruined, alas."

"That's it, it's a girl anyway, and now in this year, I don't expect her to marry a good family to help her mother's family, and it's troublesome to stay at home, it's really bad for people, and the whole family will be ashamed."

"It's not, where can we still take care of them, someone is willing to want them, maybe it's a way to live."

Suddenly, someone asked, "Benefactor, you want girls, you won't sell them, right?" ”

He Ran did not hesitate at all, and said loudly: "Don't worry, I am not short of money, I will not sell them, I took them out of here to give them a way out, and besides, they have hands and feet, and they can support themselves." ”

"I'll go with you, but take my brother with you." (End of chapter)
