Li Yun, who was being talked about by everyone, was currently writing a contract to sell himself in Black Wind Village.
Besides the ten girls found in the cellar, fifteen women were found in the kitchen.
Among them are old people and middle-aged people.
In the back mountain of the village, we found a hundred people working there.
Among those people, there are old people, middle-aged people, young people, and children.
They all had anklets on their feet and walked with difficulty, their eyes dull. Perhaps they had become numb from living like this for a long time.
When An Yi and the guards brought them back, some people in the kitchen rushed over and hugged their loved ones and cried.
Many of those who were captured and taken to the mountains had relatives.
They each found their relatives and began to talk about what happened after they were captured and taken to the mountains.
Li Yun spoke to them while everyone was there.
“Please be quiet and listen to me.
All the bandits in Black Wind Village have been killed, you are safe now.
Rest here tonight and go home with your family tomorrow.
If your family has been killed and you have no relatives to rely on, you can come back to Qingshan Village with me.
If you are willing to go back with me, you must sign a contract to sell yourself. I will work for you and give you a monthly salary.
If you don't want to sign a contract to sell yourself, and have nowhere to go and no money for the journey, I will give you one or two taels of silver for the journey and you can find a place to go by yourself.
"For those of you who have relatives here and are going home tomorrow, I'll give you two taels of silver. Take your families home and live a good life!" Li Yun said to the people who were captured and taken to the mountains.
"Thank you, Madam. Our family is grateful for saving our lives.
Please give us the money for the trip. From now on, Madam will be our family’s benefactor.
The younger one is from Yangjiazhuang, his name is Yang Laoba. Thank you, madam, for saving my life.
"Big Cow, Second Cow, Third Cow, Fourth Cow, quickly kowtow to your benefactor," Yang Lao Ba said to his grandchildren.
He lived in Yangjiazhuang and took his grandchildren to Qingshan County to sell vegetables.
After passing Black Wind Mountain, he was captured by the bandits from Black Wind Village and taken up the mountain.
He was tortured here and Wuniu was killed.
In their despair, God sent a benefactor who killed the bandits and saved their family.
"Madam is also our benefactor. I, Hong Chenghui, would like to thank you for saving my life.
"San Gou, Goudan, and Huniu, kowtow to your benefactor!" Hong Chenghui brought his grandchildren to kowtow to Li Yun.
It was his fault that his wife and a twelve-year-old granddaughter were killed.
Those beasts are not human beings and they don't even spare children.
A twelve-year-old girl was abused to death by them. Her husband could not bear it and died too.
When they were desperate and helpless, it was their benefactor who saved their family. They will never forget his life-saving grace.
If necessary, he would even sacrifice his life.
"Thank you, ma'am, for saving our lives..." The rescued people kowtowed to Li Yun to express their gratitude.
“Get up quickly, I can’t bear it.
"It wasn't me who saved him, it was them who saved him, so thank them if you want to thank someone," Li Yun said, pointing to the escort and secret guards behind him.
"Thank you, hero, for saving our lives!" the people said to the escort team and the secret guard team.
"Master, this..." An Yi looked at Li Yun and said.
"You are worthy of their kneeling down to you. Only by letting them do so can they feel relieved.
Since we have thanked you so much, please go down and help them up.
Tell them that by kneeling down, they are clear of all charges.
From now on, you are no longer their saviors, so they don't need to repay their gratitude." Li Yun said to An Yi, and also to the members of the Dark Guard and the Escort Team.
He even told the people that by kneeling, they would be atoning for the grace of saving their lives.
"Yes, master." So, An Yi led An San, An Si, An Wu, An Liu, An Qi and the members of the guard team to help the people up, and told the people the master's intention.
Those people admired Li Yun even more.
An Er went down the mountain to bring back the servants who stayed down there.
Soon, An Er led everyone to the Black Wind Village, and An Yi also brought people to help the people up and conveyed the master's intentions.
"If any of you wish to return home, please register with Steward Cui.
Wait a minute, he will give you money for your return trip.
If the journey is long or you don’t dare to go back by yourself, you can go to register with Manager Qian.
Tomorrow I will send someone to take you to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to send someone to take you back.
Those who are willing to sign the indenture, please come here and wait for a moment to sign the indenture." Li Yun instructed Manager Cui to bring the manager to help with the registration, and also instructed Manager Qian to bring the storekeeper to register.
He went to the study, found some writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked An Yi to give them to Manager Cui and Shopkeeper Qian.
Then I used my consciousness to write a stack of indentures, about sixty in total, which should be enough.
Take out some small change from the space, about three hundred taels, which should be enough.
She didn't feel any pain at all when she gave these ill-gotten gains to the people as travel expenses.
After dealing with these, he let An Yi come in and go to the front with the change.
There were many people standing at the place designated by Li Yun, except for the eight girls in the cellar.
Two of them have families and are willing to go home.
There are also ten women working in the kitchen, all of them are women.
There are two older ones, around fifty years old, who can be called old ladies.
Then there were the people living in the back mountain, about thirty in number, including children and the elderly.
"Have you all decided to sign the indenture?
"Don't you have any relatives?" Li Yun asked the women, children, and elderly people in the kitchen.
