Chapter 330 Bandits

Siming looked at him for a long time without moving: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up."

Adjutant Qi took his shoes, found a stool nearby, changed into them, and then left the factory.

Liu Chengan looked at the worker beside him and said, "Go and get back to work first. If there's any problem, I'll come find you."

"Okay, boss."

The three of them chatted in the office and talked about the clothing factory.

"General, is it okay to mass-produce the size you gave me?" Liu Cheng'an thought of the size he had received.

He originally thought that he would have to measure the sizes of many people one by one, but in the end he was given a few sizes and asked to mass produce.

If this can't be worn, wouldn't it be a waste?

"No, this is something I discussed with the old tailor in the store. It's based on height and weight. Besides, this dress is not form-fitting, it's loose-fitting."

"So there won't be any situation where there are no clothes left. The same will be true for women's clothing in A-Tian's shop. This way, we can produce them in batches and save a lot of labor."

Siming has a lot of soldiers under his command, and he has recruited a lot of people before. If he measures each of them one by one, the efficiency will be too low.

So in the end the old tailor tried this method, and asked many people to take his measurements and get the most suitable size.

"General." Adjutant Qi ran back hurriedly.

"Have you finished the exercises I asked you to do?" Siming looked at him and asked.

"Just now, Jiu Ye's people came to see you and asked you to go out of the city." Adjutant Qi quickly said the key point.

"Brother, you go and do your work first. I'll go find Meng Yanxin later." Si Tian saw that something was wrong.

"Okay, let's put on the shoes first. It's a good opportunity to try them on more." Si Ming said as he stood up and walked outside.

Adjutant Qi ran in, picked up his shoes and chased after Siming.

Siming got in the car and asked, "What happened?"

"They were bandits. They attacked several villages outside the city last night and caused many casualties." Adjutant Qi threw his shoes in front of the passenger seat.

"Why didn't I hear any report today?" Siming frowned.

"It's quite a distance from Beiyang City. Jiu Ye sent people to these villages to collect livestock like chickens and piglets. But when they arrived at the village, they saw many dead and injured people."

"Some civilians were seriously injured, but they were still alive. Now we know that it was the bandits who were responsible." Adjutant Qi started the car and drove out of the city.

"Where are the injured civilians?" Siming frowned. He had just dealt with a group of river bandits and was busy dealing with the affairs of the northern government, so the bandit suppression was delayed.

"Master Jiu asked someone to find a truck and take the surviving civilians back to the orphanage in the city for treatment." Adjutant Qi accidentally stepped on the accelerator.

A feeling of pushing on the back made both of them stunned for a moment.

"You didn't control your kick today? We've already left the city. That kick of yours would have taken a lot of people with it." Siming looked at the person in front.

"I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief, these shoes are a bit heavy and I'm not used to them yet." Adjutant Qi didn't mean to do that, and he didn't actually use much force.

"Adapt as quickly as possible." Siming said, then asked, "Have the injured been sent to an orphanage?"

"Doctor Huai and Weng Jin happened to be teaching these children at the orphanage, so Master Jiu had them all sent to the orphanage, saying it was to give them practice."

After Adjutant Qi finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Siming's expression through the rearview mirror and saw that he did not seem unhappy at all.

"Why are you looking at me? Do you think I will say that these children are still young? Being exposed to such a bloody scene too early will affect their character?" Siming noticed his gaze.

"I just wonder if letting these children come into contact with this bloody person will have a trauma on them." Adjutant Qi still felt a little bit reluctant.

"They will have to face it sooner or later." Siming said, looking at the windshield in front of the car.

"During this period of time, the young lady and the young master will probably have to go to the orphanage." Adjutant Qi said and then shut up.

"It's a good opportunity to let them go and help. My child is not that fragile." Although Siming knew it was cruel, he had to let them face it.

When they grow up, they don’t know what the world will be like, so there are some things they will have to face sooner or later.

Siming stopped talking and went to the village that was attacked by bandits. He had already notified the police station and Adjutant Min and asked them to bring people over.

Si Gu received a call from the orphanage and was hesitant about whether to send the three children there.

"Uncle San, what's wrong with you?" Si Jinchen looked at him with a much more serious expression.

Si Gu didn't know what to say.

"Agu, just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hesitating?" Old Madam Si walked in from the yard, supporting Si Ning.

Now Si Ning's belly is very big, and it is not very convenient for her to go up to the third floor, so they moved to the first floor.

"There are many injured people in the orphanage." Si Gu hesitated for a moment but still said it.

"Wounded? What happened?" Si Ning didn't see any big news in the newspaper today.

"Bandits broke into a village far outside Beiyang City. My brother-in-law discovered them when he sent people to collect livestock nearby. Otherwise, I'm afraid everyone would have died and no one would have noticed."

Si Gu spoke such a long speech in one breath.

Now that he has two chatty little ones around him, it's unlikely that he can be as quiet as before.

Since he came back, these two little ones have been sleeping with him every day. The picture books that he used to read stiffly can now be read with vividness.

But this situation only happened when he was facing the two children. He still had a wooden face when facing other people.

But his family noticed the change in him and were very relieved.

"So the orphanage is now full of wounded people?" Old Madam Si understood why he had that expression.

"Yeah." Si Gu didn't want the two children to go. It was too bloody.

Madam Si had a different attitude. She looked at the three children and asked, "Do you want to go?"

"Grandma, we can help." Juanjuan nodded seriously.

"This may be more serious than the wound you saw when you saw Brother Mayang. Do you really want to go?" Old Lady Si thought about the time when the two children saw Mayang.

"Grandma, we can do it." Si Jinchen stood up straight.

Madam Si looked at Liu Yueya, who had been silent the whole time: "Yueya, if you are scared, I will have someone send you back, and you don't have to go to the orphanage."

"Madam, I can do it. My younger brothers and sisters can go, so can I." Liu Yueya looked determined.

"Good child, don't endure it if you feel uncomfortable." Old Lady Si touched her head.

"Okay." Liu Yueya nodded with a smile.

Old Madam Si changed the children's clothes into ones that were more convenient for doing things, and they were all old clothes that were more resistant to getting dirty.

"Agu, you should go change your clothes too." Si Ning looked at the clothes on him.
