Chapter 55: The world is difficult
When Lin Qianqian entered Tong County, she brought only a few people with her, but when she left Tong County, she was followed by more than 30 people.
It was a huge and grand event.
In addition to the people who originally followed her, there were many more women who were rescued from bandits.
Those who were willing to be sent home have been sent home, and those who stayed behind are all too embarrassed to go home.
Outside the gate of Tong County, there were especially many people coming to see him off.
Niujia Village, Sunjia Village, Zhujia Village and other villages were all villages that were severely damaged by bandits. All the surviving people in the village came to see them off.
Everyone held a gift in their hands.
Some were two eggs, some were wild vegetables, and some were wild flowers picked from the roadside.
These people were so poor that they could barely afford to eat, so these gifts were quite expensive for them.
"Master, these are eggs laid by wild chickens in the mountains. You must accept them."
"Master, these are the wild vegetables I picked early in the morning. They are very fresh and tender. You must try them."
County Magistrate Cheng Fa stood on the city wall, looking at the crowd below, feeling a little sad.
What's so great about it? It's just wild vegetables! It's just pheasant eggs! It's really shabby.
They were all worthless things, he could eat as much as he wanted, and he didn't need anyone to give them to him.
Cheng Fa never expected that a man as wealthy as Lin Baihu, who held a priceless night-shining pearl in his hand, would actually accept these shabby little gifts.
Lin Qianqian smiled and stretched out her hand to accept the gifts one by one.
In this cold late autumn, her smile healed the misfortunes of many people.
Of course, one has to give a gift in return after receiving it. Lin Qianqian asked someone to open the four large baskets she carried with her, which contained white flour buns that had been prepared in advance.
Each person received eight steamed buns as a gift, plus a hundred dollars.
The people felt very embarrassed. They clearly came to give gifts, but got a great advantage instead.
But this money is really life-saving money. The captain understands their hearts better and knows that they are short of money, food and everything.
With this money, if you spend it frugally, maybe you can survive the cold winter.
The people who came to see her off followed Lin Qianqian's team for several miles, with tears in their eyes, reluctant to leave.
Only after Lin Qianqian persuaded them again and again did they stop.
"We will never forget the kindness of the Hundred Household Master."
"Master Baihu, we will let all future generations remember your great kindness and virtue."
The little guy Goudan was reluctant to leave, and looked at Lin Qianqian's mount with his little face raised.
"Master Bai Hu, do you remember me? That morning I was almost starving and was chewing on tree bark. You handed me a bowl of fragrant porridge. It was definitely the most fragrant porridge I have ever tasted...Master Bai Hu, you will definitely become the most powerful general of the Great Yan Dynasty. When I grow up, I will also join the army and serve you."
Tiedan is the only survivor in the family, and he is still a child.
Lin Qianqian recalled the scene of the little guy chopping tree bark with an axe that was longer than he was, so she jumped off the horse and handed the little guy a dagger.
"Go back soon, little one. The flowers will still bloom next spring."
After the people who were seeing them off left, many women in the procession took off their face veils and shed tears while looking at the backs of their fellow villagers.
If they were not forced to do so, they would not choose to leave their homeland and their loved ones.
They were all unmarried women who had been bullied by bandits. They were afraid of what people would say and could not bear the spitting at them if they returned home, so they volunteered to follow Lin Qianqian to the border.
They half-covered their faces in front of acquaintances for fear of being recognized. After all, they had been raped by bandits. In this era, face is more important than anything else.
Lin Qianqian confirmed again with the women who followed her.
"I'm going to the border. It's dangerous there. My life might be in danger. It's not too late for you to regret it now."
One of the women, Qiaohong, mustered up the courage to answer, "I wanted to commit suicide, but you encouraged us to live. Since we are not afraid of death, we will definitely risk our lives for you when we reach the border."
Another girl named Cuihua also said: "Our lives were saved by the captain. We will fight for him and never retreat."
Lin Qianqian doesn't want to kill these girls.
"You don't have to risk your life for me. You only have one life, and it is so precious. What I want you to do is to protect your life."
Lin Qianqian thought about it and realized that these women basically didn't know kung fu, but they could help out in the kitchen or help the soldiers mend their clothes.
Since they don't know Kung Fu, we can temporarily let them learn some simple fighting formations to protect themselves.
A pair of chopsticks can be easily broken, but ten pairs of chopsticks can be firmly held together.
As long as we are united enough, we can save our lives to the greatest extent possible.
The number of soldiers at the border is staggering. Maybe these women can meet their other half, forget old wounds, and restart a new life.
Lin Qianqian was just thinking about finding an opportunity to look for some books on battle formations when she saw Zhao Xiaoliu coming over with a few books in his hands.
"Miss Lin, my master sent some books on formations to thank you for saving his life."
This champion marquis is really endless in his gratitude.
However, today's gift is exactly what Lin Qianqian likes.
Lin Qianqian casually glanced through it and felt that the formations in the book were simple and practical.
This book arrived at a very timely moment, just like someone sent me a pillow when I was feeling sleepy.
"Hongdou, you can take a look at these books when you have time. We are traveling during the day, and when we rest at night, you can teach them to read and practice simple formations."
"Yes, girl."
Anko's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Oh, it's so embarrassing. The girl asked her to take charge of so many people at once. It's such a big honor.
Following the girl, he had meat to eat. After fighting against the bandits, Brother A became a small flag bearer.
If the women under her charge kill a lot of enemies in the future, she, as their leader, would also be able to earn a small fortune.
Lin Qianqian: "It's getting late, everyone hurry up and get on the carriage, let's hurry up and get on with our journey."
Now Lin Qianqian and Hongdou were riding horses, while the rescued women were riding in carriages. There were not enough carriages, so they temporarily hired one from Tong County.
Hongdou and Ada rode on horseback and followed Lin Qianqian.
She turned around and congratulated Ah Da with a smile on her face, "Brother Ah Da, congratulations, you are now an official."
Ah Da's face turned red because of Hongdou, "This is all thanks to the girl."
Lin Qianqian saw through the little girl's thoughts at a glance, "Hongdou, when the bandits raided the county government office, you killed 5 people. I reported them to the authorities for you. When you reach the border and kill 30 people, you can raise the small flag."
Hongdou, who usually loves to laugh, now has tears in her eyes.
In this world, women have a much harder life than men.
In the village where Hongdou's family lived, most girls born there were destined to be sold. She and her two sisters were all sold.
It's just that she was lucky and followed the girl.
If he could become an official and return home in glory in the future, the villagers would probably change their inherent ideas to a great extent and think that daughters are also precious.
In the future, there should be fewer cases of selling daughters in the village.
