Everyone lit the oil lamps and started to pack up.
Kang Yueran climbed up a tree and looked around, so that if the thieves' accomplices came, he could give an early warning.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the eight rescued people left one after another.
There weren't many things in the house, so they packed up quickly.
Kang Yuanchen stood under the tree, looked up and said, "Yueran, go back and rest for a while, I'll go up and keep an eye on it."
Kang Yueran was about to nod when she noticed a few people running towards her from the alley entrance. After a while, she heard a hurried knock on the door.
Kang Yuanchen walked to the door and whispered through it, "Who is it?"
Hu Xiaocheng panted and whispered, "I'm Hu Xiaocheng, from the courtyard next door. We saw a group of people coming this way on the street. They might be in the same group as the thieves."
Kang Yueran had good hearing. She climbed up a little further and indeed saw a group of people coming this way.
"Brother Yuanchen, open the door for them."
Kang Yuanchen opened the door and saw three men and one woman standing outside.
"Come in!"
The four of them came in, and Kang Yuanchen quickly locked the door. He ran to the tree and asked, "Yueran, what should we do? Should we leave now?"
"It's too late!" Kang Yueran came down from the tree.
If there were only one or two of them checking the situation, she would be able to deal with them easily, but with so many people, she could only outsmart them.
He Zhengchu said, "Wake up everyone around here. If there's chaos here, the bailiffs will be here soon. Besides, if everyone is awake, the thieves will definitely leave if they don't want to be exposed."
"Dacheng has a loud voice. Let him pretend to be a thief and shout that he wants to kill everyone here. Then the people around him won't be able to just hide in the house and pretend to be dead."
People are selfish. As long as they can't kill themselves, many people don't care about the life or death of others.
The group of thieves just made such a loud noise that there was no sound around.
The beautiful boy is not only good-looking, but also smart.
Kang Yueran said: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
He Zhengchu whispered something in Dacheng's ear, and Dacheng nodded, opened the door, and went out. He ran back and forth in the alley, shouting as he ran, "Every family on this street has money and food. Kill them all, and we won't starve. Brothers, kill them all!"
Kang Yueran also whispered a few words to Kang Yuanchen.
Kang Yuanchen also went out and shouted, "Run away! Run away! The thieves are here to kill us! Run!"
He ran to a family's door and kicked it twice.
The family was pretty scared.
The real thief who reached the entrance of the alley was a little confused. Liu San stopped and asked in confusion: "Could it be that another gang has also set its sights on this place?"
The subordinate asked, "Third brother, are you still going to pick up second brother and the others?"
"It must be the Wild Wolf Gang. They have been fighting with us for territory."
They say they are brothers, but in fact they have only known each other for a short time and their relationship is not that deep.
Liu San cared more about his own life than risking his life to help others. "Let's go back and tell Big Brother first, then we can make plans."
Kang Yueran stood on the tree and watched the group of people leave, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Xiaocheng opened the door and ran out. After a while, he found Hu Dacheng and Kang Yuanchen.
In the yard, Kang Yueran looked at the four people and asked, "Didn't you leave?"
Hu Dacheng replied, "The other four have homes, and they're willing to go home. The four of us don't, so we've been squatting on the street watching them."
He Zhengchu introduced them one by one, "My name is He Zhengchu, I'm fourteen, I went to school for two years, after my father passed away, my stepmother sold me to Mother Wang.
They were brothers, the elder Hu Dacheng was fifteen, and the younger Hu Xiaocheng was twelve. They were strong, powerful, and ate a lot, but were sold by their grandmother after their parents died.
The girl's name was Wang Xiaoying, she was thirteen years old. There was a flood in the village and her parents and brothers all died. Because she was beautiful, she was sold by her uncle.
We are all homeless and we are begging the girl to take us in.”
The four of them knelt in front of Kang Yueran and took out their indentures. They said in unison, "Please take us in, young lady."
Among these four people, He Zhengchu is smart, Dacheng is strong, Xiaocheng is also smart, and Wang Xiaoying is also decisive.
Accepting them shouldn't hinder us.
Kang Yueran took the indentures of the four people and said, "If one day you want to regain your freedom, you can come to me openly and we can discuss it. But if you betray me, I will kill you."
These four people should be trustworthy, but one must be on guard against them. It is safer to hold their indentures.
She would not go to the government office to register. She would return the indentures to them after confirming their loyalty.
The four of them kowtowed and promised not to betray their master.
Wang Xiaoying bit her lip and said to Kang Yueran, "Thank you, young lady, for not looking down on a dirty person like me."
"I'm not very good at comforting people, but I don't think you're dirty. Someone bullied you, and you killed him, so we're even. None of us will mention it again, and if you really can't forget it, just keep it in your heart.
Girl, look forward, there is a better life waiting for you."
They were safe for the time being. Kang Yueran pulled Zhao out and asked her to boil water so that the four people could wash themselves first.
Huang heard the conversation outside from inside the house. She felt sorry for them and found a piece of clothing for each of them.
By the time the four of them had finished washing, it was almost dawn.
Huang went to cook and Wang Xiaoying went to help.
Kang Yuanchen asked Kang Yueran, "Yueran, are we leaving today?"
