The men outside the door nodded hurriedly, but Han Yuze didn't let them in; he quickly returned.
"Sis, there are a few men outside who say they're looking for you."
Looking for her man?
Han Luoxue was surprised, but she wasn't afraid.
"So you guys actually came? I thought you weren't coming."
When Han Luoxue saw the people outside, she could hardly believe it.
It turned out to be those bandits.
She had said that they could come to find her if they wanted, but so much time has passed and they still haven't come.
She thought these people weren't coming.
“Miss Han, we wanted to come before, but we heard you weren’t home, so we found another place…”
"Continue being a robber?"
"this……"
Seeing the awkward smiles on their faces, Han Luoxue was speechless.
"So what's the point of you coming here now?"
She remembered that there were quite a few of them at that time.
"We have come to seek refuge with you."
"Where are your people?"
Seeing their expressions suddenly darken, Han Luoxue frowned uneasily.
"They wouldn't be?"
Is he dead?
None of them objected; being a robber also carries risks.
Although they were not vicious criminals, they still encountered several fierce battles.
Many of their people died, and with food supplies running low, many starved and froze to death. By the end of the winter, only a dozen or so people were still alive.
"Actually, you could have come earlier. I told my parents that if you came, they would have found a way to accommodate you." Han Luoxue said helplessly.
"When I got married, the Crown Prince suddenly arrived and wanted me to be his concubine. Naturally, I was unwilling, so I left early. I'm sorry, I didn't expect..."
"This is not your fault."
The leading man sighed:
"It's just their bad luck."
Is it just bad luck? Ordinary people became robbers just to survive. Han Luoxue felt sorry for them when she thought about it.
"Alright, since you're here, stay here. I'll ask the village head and help you find accommodation."
Han Luoxue's family also has spare rooms, but they can't accommodate so many people.
"Miss Han, shall I go and call them over?"
"By the way, is there anything we can do to help you?"
These dozen or so people were all young and middle-aged.
"You guys take a day off first, then go help out at the farm tomorrow."
The farm is quite suitable for them to live in; it's a large place, and they can build a few more houses there.
That place could accommodate not just a dozen people, but dozens.
“Miss Han, we’re not tired, we can do it today.”
Although they were robbers, looking at their honest and simple faces, Han Luoxue really wanted to say that she wasn't tired today.
only……
"Please wait a moment, I'll have them prepare some food for you to have something to eat."
Han Luoxue made noodles for them, which was the quickest option.
These men were really hungry, and they ate very quickly.
Han Luoxue prepared enough food for more than twenty people, and they didn't have any left over.
Han Luoxue personally escorted them to the breeding farm and handed them over to Han Yuchen.
"Yu Chen, what are these people doing here?"
Seeing that there were suddenly more than a dozen people, Han Qiang came over and asked, puzzled.
"Those people I told you about before."
"Ah, when?" Han Qiang was stunned for a moment, seemingly having some recollection, but it was more than half a year ago.
"So, will they work at the farm after that?"
Although this farm is not small, it probably only employs a dozen or so people at most.
"Yes, don't worry, Xue'er has other plans. We won't forget the people in the village."
Hearing this, Han Qiang finally felt relieved. However, the other villagers were not so happy.
...
"Your Highness, he has escaped."
Upon hearing the news at the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince was not angry at all; instead, his smile became even more sinister.
"If they've run away, then so be it."
"Your Highness, aren't we going to give chase?"
Your Highness used to value that person highly.
Do you know where he ran off to?
"Just go through the motions, you won't get any information out of them, there's no point in keeping them around."
Han Zheng never imagined he would one day escape.
"Are you alright? Can you still hold on?"
He escaped with a young man who was not yet twenty years old.
He was a thief, a habitual offender, and highly skilled.
After being locked up, his family stole the jailer's key, and then...
"I'm fine."
"Uncle Ba, your injury is too bad. Wait a moment, let me get you some medicine."
The thief said his name was Gousheng (meaning "leftover dog"), and that his family said it would make him easy to raise when he was a child.
But he was still young when his parents died.
He has always been called by this name.
"No need, I'm fine."
They just came out, how could Gou Sheng possibly have any money?
When he says he's going to get medicine, isn't he just going to steal it?
But these days everyone is struggling, and stealing is easy to get caught.
"No, you need to take medicine."
Han Laoba's health is severely depleted.
If it weren't for the ginseng soup keeping him alive, he would have died long ago. He wanted to stop the child, but before he could say anything, Gousheng had already run off.
That's really honest of him. Han Laoba knew he had better hurry back now; once he got to Hutouya Village, he'd be saved.
Xueya must have a way, but he can't go back, at least not for the time being.
Thinking of Gou Sheng's anxious face, he didn't want to fake it, but he didn't dare to take the risk.
