"Dad, you can't let my sister be sold to a brothel. Sell me instead." When Tiedan heard that his sister was sold to a brothel, he disagreed.
Xiaohong looked at her father and mother in despair. She knew that she could not escape after entering the brothel.
"We'll sell you wherever we want. If you keep nagging, we'll take your son with us and sell him to a brothel," said the thug.
"I won't say anything more. Don't sell Tiedan to those places. Xiaohong, Tiedan, don't blame dad. Dad has no choice. Grandpa is sick. If he is not treated, he will die." The big man said to his daughter and son.
"Dad, I don't blame you. From now on, we have no relationship. You are not my father, and I am not your daughter." Xiaohong said to the big man cruelly.
"I'll buy you." Bai Chen knew the whole story and saw Xiaohong's hatred, knowing that she was a ruthless character.
"Who are you? Why are you here to cause trouble? Do you know who we belong to?" The thug said fiercely when he saw Bai Chen coming out to snatch people.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Buying and selling are free. Since there is no indenture, he has the right to sell it to anyone." Bai Chen angrily hit his hands.
"Don't worry, I won't sell them to those places. I will buy them back and provide them with good food and shelter." Bai Chen said to the big man and the village woman.
"Tiedan, Xiaohong, it's up to you whether you want to follow me or them." Bai Chen turned and said to the two children.
"You really won't sell your sister to a brothel?" Tiedan asked Bai Chen.
"I can swear to God that I will not sell your sister to a brothel." Bai Chen said to Tiedan with assurance.
"We are willing to follow you!" said Tiedan.
"Okay, how much silver will those people offer to sell them?" Bai Chen asked the big man.
"Ten taels to buy a son and a daughter." said the big man.
"Okay, I'll give you twenty taels and I'll sell them. Wait, once you sign the indenture contract, they will have nothing to do with you." Bai Chen took out the indenture contract, wrote their names on it, and asked the big man to sign it.
It turned out that the big man was called Tang Ergou, and he was from Tangjia Village.
Bai Chen gave Tang Ergou twenty taels and followed him back to Tangjia Village, letting Xiaohong and Tiedan say goodbye to their families for the last time.
When they returned to Tangjia Village, the villagers saw that Xiaohong and Tiedan had returned, and they had brought a man with them.
It turned out that Bai Chen asked Meng Yue and the others to stay in the inn, prepare a godmother, and leave Lin'an County as soon as he returned.
The villagers heard that the young man sold Xiaohong and Tiedan for twenty taels of silver. Some of them went home and took the unpopular and money-losing goods to Ergou's house, begging Bai Chen to sell them.
Bai Chen had no other choice but to buy three twelve-year-old girls. He took Xiaohong, Tiedan and the three girls and left Tangjia Village.
The mission has been completed, it's time to go back to Taohua Village and report to the young lady.
After returning to the inn, Bai Chen asked Meng Yue and the others to get on the carriage and leave Lin'an County.
Since there were enough people, Bai Chen took them back to Taohua Village in twelve carriages.
After more than a month, Bai Chen finally brought them back to Taohua Village.
On the way, they found twelve more children with good qualifications and took in five younger children.
There were eighty-three children in the team and fifteen carriages.
Peach Blossom Village.
The secret guards had returned, and Yang Youxue had left two of them in the capital. Some of the Wu family's gold, silver, and jewelry were given to the common people, but much was still shipped to the capital. Yang Youxue had them build two large courtyards in the capital, each with five entrances and exits, and bury the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings there. They were eventually going to the capital to make their fortunes, so the two secret guards stayed there so they would have a place to stay when they finally arrived.
Tomorrow is Yang Qingman’s wedding day. Today, all the members of the Yang family stay at home to help.
"Grandpa, Master, Miss, I'm back!" Bai Chen returned to Taohua Village and saw the courtyard decorated with lights and full of joy. He knew that there was a happy event at home.
"Bai Chen is back. Qingman is getting married tomorrow, so she can catch the wedding." Yang Zhongyi was very happy to see Bai Chen back. He no longer had to worry about his daughter going out. He felt at ease with Bai Chen protecting her.
"The eldest lady is getting married? Congratulations, master!" Bai Chen said.
"Okay, have you completed the task?" Yang Zhongyi asked Bai Chen.
"It's done. We found sixty-four people, but we also brought back nineteen children." Bai Chen felt guilty and didn't dare to look at anyone.
"Tell me what happened?" Yang Youxue asked Bai Chen.
"Miss, it's like this..." Bai Chen started talking about how he rescued Meng Yue and her brother, and continued talking until he returned to Taohua Village. It took him two full hours.
"Miss, this is what happened." Bai Chen said guiltily.
"It's okay. We have a big family and a lot of money, so we can easily raise more than a dozen children. Where do you arrange them? Bring them back to attend the wedding tomorrow. After my eldest sister gets married, we will take them to Qinglong Mountain for training." Yang Youxue said to Bai Chen.
"Qinglong Mountain?" Bai Chen asked Yang Youxue.
"Yes, a few days ago, I passed by Qinglong Village and saw that Qinglong Mountain is very suitable for training. There are two big mountains near Qinglong Mountain, Mogu Ridge and Mountain Range Mountain, and the three mountains are connected together." Yang Youxue explained the reason for choosing Qinglong Mountain as the training base.
"So that's how it is? The three mountains are connected together, so there must be a lot of wild beasts. Will it be dangerous?" Yang Zhongyi asked Yang Youxue worriedly.
"No, I'll give them some medicine to drive away wild animals, snakes, insects, rats and ants. It won't be dangerous." Yang Youxue comforted her father.
"I feel relieved as long as there is no danger," said Yang Zhongyi.
"Miss, I will go and notify them." Bai Chen said and left Taohua Village.
