In the end, Xiao Lingdang still asked Xu Guling for help.
Although Wu Bokai said that food is difficult to transport now and is very conspicuous, it is just an ordinary caravan.
If the people transporting the food were martial arts masters from Cangjian Villa, I think there would be few people who would dare to take action.
After all, that is the power of the leader of the martial arts world, unless they want to oppose the martial arts people.
Therefore, it should be more stable than the government.
So, Xiao Lingdang asked Xu Guling to help transport the food.
Xu Guling had also received news about the drought, so she was not too surprised.
Xiao Lingdang did not explain where the food came from, and Xu Guling did not ask. The master and apprentice maintained a tacit understanding and quickly arranged things.
Wu Bokai was very quick and came to the door with news about the warehouse the next day.
Xiao Lingdang didn't waste any time. She packed up immediately and went back to the county with him to store the agreed 500,000 kilograms of grain.
Wu Bokai was also surprised when he saw the entire two-story courtyard filled with grain.
Especially Xiao Lingling's method, with a wave of her hand, food appeared, which was even more magical than the previous talisman.
He looked at Xiao Lingling's hand curiously, wanting to see where the food came from.
Xiao Lingling was speechless for a while.
"Godfather, you don't need to look at it. This is a special method of mine, you can't understand it. Anyway, the food is here, and you can arrange the rest as you see fit."
Wu Bokai touched his nose and said, "Alright. Don't worry about that. When I take you back later, I will tell your village chief about the food and village wall in your village.
At the very least, ensure the safety of your village. I saw it yesterday when I went to the fields, and the harvest was truly impressive.
I estimate that the harvest should be more than 30% more than usual.
This news cannot be concealed. It's okay now, but if a drought breaks out, your village will become the target of public criticism.
So a certain level of defense is still necessary. By the way, I've already made arrangements for those children you mentioned.
Two servants were also arranged to help take care of the children. There was a baby in the room, so it would be more reliable to have an adult to help.
However, the older kid said he wants to see you. If you're willing, I can arrange for someone to take you over there later."
Xiao Lingling nodded, "Okay, then I'll go down and take a look, and by the way, I have something to tell them.
By the way, godfather, godmother is getting pregnant soon, don’t forget to arrange a few more people to take care of her.
Also, please keep your godmother away from home. There's no guarantee that news of the drought will get in, so don't let her get hurt."
Speaking of this, Wu Bokai was also a little worried.
"I understand what you mean, but your godmother is also a person who can't hold it in. The backyard of the county government office is not big, and your godmother always feels stuffy.
Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but right now it's a bit sensitive, so I'm thinking of letting her stay home for a while.
When the drought shows signs of happening, I will send her to your house to stay for a while.
This will save me from being too busy to take care of them. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll want to die."
Xiao Lingling meant the same thing, so she didn't say much.
After making sure that there was no problem with food, Wu Bokai began to plan and arranged for someone to take Xiao Lingling to meet the children.
The yard assigned to them was a little out of the way, and it took a long time to get there after turning around in the county.
As soon as I reached the door, I could hear the laughter of the children inside.
Little Bell jumped off the carriage and walked in unsteadily.
This yard is actually not small. Although it only has one entrance, it is very large, a bit larger than the backyard of the wood shop.
In addition to the main hall, the main house has two bedrooms on each side, and four rooms on each side of the east and west wing.
There is also a vegetable patch in the yard, and the children are gathering there to loosen the soil.
Everyone saw Xiao Lingling was stunned for a moment, but soon stood aside a little stiffly.
Xie Fan, who was working, noticed their strangeness, turned around and found that it was Xiao Lingling, and immediately laughed.
“You’re here!”
"Yeah, I came to see how you guys are settling in."
Little Bell was very satisfied to see that they had taken off their tattered clothes.
Although it was just coarse cloth clothes, it at least looked much cleaner and neater.
Moreover, they were all clean and had their hair tied up. Apart from being a little thin, they all looked good.
Xie Fan put the hoe aside and said, "That's great. The county magistrate not only gave us this yard to live in temporarily, but also prepared new clothes for us.
It seems like it's been years since I last wore new clothes. I know you must have helped us get them, so I've always wanted to say thank you."
"No need to say thank you. No one can help you forever, so in the end, you have to work hard on your own.
What are your plans for the future?"
As Little Bell spoke, she walked around the yard.
Xie Fan seemed to have thought about this problem, "Most of us are not very old, but we can still do some odd jobs.
I can go waiter, and Chen Die and the others can help wash clothes for the neighbors.
It may be a little tight, but making money with your own hands is always more reassuring.”
Xiao Lingling was very satisfied with this answer. No matter what, at least they didn't want to rely on others.
That's good.
Xiao Lingling nodded. "Not bad. I went back and discussed some solutions with others. You can use them as a reference."
Is there anyone among you who is willing or likes to learn martial arts, or be a medicine boy?
If any of you are willing, I can find someone to take a look at it for you.
If you meet the requirements, you can be arranged to learn martial arts or become a medicine boy."
Hearing this, Xie Fan was somewhat tempted. As someone who had been beaten many times before, he had a great interest in martial arts.
But he didn't answer in a hurry, because he knew that if he agreed, it would mean that they, the children, would be separated.
To be honest, after being together for so long, the feeling of dependence on each other is still very deep. I always feel reluctant to think about separation.
But the opportunity is right in front of us, and it is inevitable that we will feel reluctant to give it up.
Xiao Lingling had probably anticipated his reaction and just glanced at him twice.
"There's no rush for an answer. You can discuss it among yourselves slowly. However, if you want to thoroughly improve the future, you have to do something."
Xie Fan understood what she meant and nodded without saying anything more.
Then he called all the children over and introduced them to Little Bell one by one.
It would be more accurate to say that he introduced Little Bell to these children rather than introducing them to Little Bell.
He kept calling her "benefactor" and "Miss" all the time, and Xiao Lingling was speechless.
