Sure enough, these people died before the punishment of the rod was over.
Thinking about it, the lieutenant general in the army couldn't bear the punishment of a hundred sticks, let alone a few of them who were performing acrobatics.
Li Yun came over and said, "Miss Wen, I'm afraid I can't go to the village with you."
She pointed to the children who had just been brought back and said, "I need to find a place to settle these children."
After hearing this, Wen Xi immediately said, "My family can do it!"
"Huh? Can your family support so many people? The youngest among them is only three years old, the eldest is only a teenager, and most of them are seven or eight years old. Can you support them?"
"You don't know. My family has bought hundreds of acres of land. I'm worried that no one will take care of it in the future. I'm also thinking of looking for my grandmother to buy people outside. Now they have nowhere to go. They might as well settle down with me and live with the folks. We learn the craft of farming, and if we want to leave when we grow up, we have the ability to settle down and make a living." Wen Xi explained.
"This is the best." Li Yun was overjoyed after hearing this, otherwise she would have had a headache how to arrange them.
"In that case, I will take them back first, and then come back to you when everything is settled." Wen Xi said with a smile, "When our new house is built, we will definitely invite you."
"Okay! It's a deal! This lady admires you very much. You look like you are only eleven or twelve years old. I am sixteen, so how many years older than you are. From now on, you can call me Sister Yun, and I will call you Sister Wen, how about it?"
"Okay! Sister Yun."
······
Wen Xi counted the number of people and found that there were sixteen people in total, including two under the age of five, six over the age of ten, and as many as eight in their mid-teens.
It is equivalent to these six people who can do the work.
Wen Xi took them to a newly bought shop in the town and asked shopkeeper Zhao to help find a woman to cook.
A doctor was invited to treat them.
She found that the children she brought back had wounds of varying degrees on their bodies.
There were some serious wounds that had suppurated.
It looks shocking.
The girl who was rescued on the spot today was one of the luckier ones. She only had some whip marks on her body and no serious wounds.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they chose her as a target.
"What's your name?" Wen Xi asked.
"My name is Li Xiaoyu. I am from Gianzhuang. My parents passed away early, so I stayed at my aunt's house." She whispered.
"Will you follow me?"
Li Xiaoyu suddenly knelt down and kept kowtowing: "Yes, yes, thank you, Miss, for taking me in."
Wen Xi helped her up and said, "Since you follow me, you have to give up your original surname. Doesn't that matter?"
"Yes!" She nodded firmly: "My parents died early, and my life in my aunt's house is worse than that of a dog. I don't mind having this surname."
"Then please call me Xiaoyu!"
"Thank you, Miss, for the name!" He said and knelt down again.
"This is not fashionable here. Please don't kneel down from now on. You seem to be a bit older than me. If you kneel down at every turn, isn't it going to shorten my life?"
When Xiaoyu heard this, he changed it to a salute.
Wen Xi did not take her back today. The new house has not been built yet, and their family is still crowded. If there is another person, will they have to live in a warehouse?
Liu Yanxi returned home and slammed the tea cup to the ground.
"What's going on? What's going on!"
The entourage knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I don't know, I just heard that Li Dali insisted on performing some flying knife show. He got a lot of rewards last time. Maybe he got a taste of it, but he hurt the target last time. This time someone came out to stop it.”
"Throwing knife?"
"Exactly, the woman is treated as a living target, with fruits placed on her head and shoulders, and then she shoots the fruit through with a flying knife without hurting anyone." The attendant explained.
"However, they haven't mastered their skills yet, and they ended up hurting people."
Liu Yanxi was furious when he heard this!
"These bastards!"
"Master, calm down."
Liu Yan was so happy that he paced back and forth: "How can I not be angry? Since there is a woman, why should she be a living target? How good would it be to sell her directly to a brothel?"
If you sell one more, you can still make dozens of taels!
These stupid things.
"Master, Li Dali and others are dead, and the dozen children they abducted have also been rescued. How can we explain to the buyers above?" The attendant said: "Those people are terribly tight. If we can't deliver the goods as scheduled, goods······"
Liu Yanxi frowned: "Go and inquire about the whereabouts of those children. If you have any whereabouts, report back at any time."
As soon as the entourage left, his wife came over with her sons Liu Xian and Liu Lingling.
"Master, what's going on today?" Madam Zhang said angrily: "My servants just came to report that you were taken away by people from the government office. I was scared to death."
"Yes, Dad, my daughter was scared to death." Liu Lingling patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
"You can still be scared to death?" Liu Yanxi looked at Liu Lingling with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "You bastard! Why don't you kneel down!"
After that, he slapped Liu Lingling who was next to him to the ground.
Liu Yanxi pointed at her and shouted loudly: "I have told you a long time ago that if you cause trouble outside, clean your own butts and don't wait for me to clean it up for you! Did you listen?"
Liu Lingling was so frightened that she was shaking all over. When Mrs. Zhang saw her daughter being beaten, she hurried over to protect her: "Master, what mistake did Lingling make? Why did you hit her so hard?"
She cried so hard that she could not get any sympathy from her husband. Liu Xian, who was standing next to her, looked at her stepmother and stepsister indifferently.
Go ahead and beat him to death.
"Ask her, who did she provoke outside?"
Thinking about it, I couldn't get angry, so I kicked you hard again: "If you hadn't seen that you are my biological child, I would have beaten you to death today!"
Liu Lingling was so frightened that she couldn't even cry even if she wanted to.
Seeing that Liu Yanxi was really angry, Mrs. Zhang quickly asked: "Lingling, think about it carefully, have you offended anyone?"
How did Liu Lingling know Li Yun's identity? He is used to being domineering and domineering, and grabbing things from others is commonplace.
How could she take it to heart?
"Mom, my daughter didn't go out much today, how could she offend someone so important? Besides, if a big shot comes to our town, dad will be the first to know about it, so why would my daughter offend him?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she realized the same thing. She looked at Liu Yanxi and said, "Master..."
"Recently, a fourth-grade general came to our town. She is a woman." Liu Yanxi said coldly: "Today, I was arrested by her. She named me and said that my daughter, Liu Yanxi, was causing trouble in the town. To be a blessing, you say, isn’t it you?”
woman? Recently?
Could it be from that Riyin Tower...
Liu Lingling remembered it instantly: "Dad, my daughter has remembered it. That day was at the bank, and we both fell in love with the same thing. It was just a quarrel between my daughter's family, not..."
