Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

However, she was ultimately a person of little influence and had just arrived at Cihang Temple, so how could she dare to make such a request?

But what she didn't expect was that more than half a month later, more than 30 women were brought to the Salesian Church.

Taoist Priest Huijing called her and the other two people over and told them:

"They are just like you, innocent women who were harmed by that gang of kidnappers. Now they have nowhere to go, so they come to our Cihang Temple. The three of you will be responsible for twelve people each. Take them to familiarize themselves with the environment and affairs of the Salesian Temple."

"Zhou Sanmei, tell them the rules of the temple."

Among the three newcomers, Zhou Sanmei learns things the fastest and is the most diligent and capable. Huijing is very satisfied with her.

Zhou Sanmei was shocked and moved.

She didn't dare to say or do anything, but Cihang Temple actually took the initiative to do it!

Looking at the hundreds of orphans taken in by the Salesian Temple, one can see how powerful and compassionate the Taoist temple she belongs to is.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart!

"Yes!"

Zhou Sanmei took the order and said to these women who, like herself, were confused when they first arrived, with a friendly and gentle smile:

"Sisters, my experience is similar to yours. I came here more than half a month earlier than you. I can tell you for sure that we are lucky to come to Cihang Temple. As long as you are loyal to the temple master and never do anything to betray the temple, the temple will never treat you unfairly..."

Seeing these desperate and confused women who were rescued from brothels, listening to Zhou Sanmei's explanation, their eyes were filled with hope, and Huijing, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but smile.

Bringing these people back was a joint decision she made after discussing with her two senior sisters.

On the one hand, it was out of sympathy for the same suffering, and on the other hand, the temple really needed manpower.

The abbot said that as long as the expenses do not exceed five thousand taels, Senior Sister Huiyun can make her own decisions.

To take in these women even for twenty years would cost less than five thousand taels. Moreover, after figuring out the abbot's intentions, they all thought that the abbot would support them, so they went down the mountain to negotiate with Prefect Yan.

According to Senior Sister Huiyun, this kidnapping gang has been in existence for four years and has a total of eight to nine hundred victims.

The majority of them were men, and almost all of them were sold to several mines in the neighboring Zhejiang Province.

Now, four years have passed, and more than half of them have died of exhaustion or illness, and those who are still alive have returned home.

There were about 200 female victims in total. Some were sold to remote mountain villages to be married to bachelors who could not afford to marry. However, because the place was too far away and involved ethical issues, it was difficult to rescue them and the efforts had to be abandoned.

This time, only those who were sold to brothels in the two nearby big cities were rescued.

Many of those sold to lower-class brothels have contracted disease and died, but the survival rate of those in middle- and upper-class brothels is much higher.

Among these people, some are accustomed to a life without working and are unwilling to leave the brothel.

Others who heard about a place like Cihang Temple, where they could have enough food and clothing and would not be bullied, but that it required hard work, were almost all willing to come.

Huijing was really happy to see these women who were brought back go from being lifeless to being full of hope.

Their power is very weak.

But they were lucky enough to meet the temple master, who rescued them and promoted them to be one of the three managers of Cihang Temple.

The temple master gave them such a powerful home as Cihang Temple, so now they can so easily save these women who share the same suffering as them.

Thinking of this, Huijing's heart was involuntarily filled with longing.

It's snowing on the mountain. I don't know where the master has gone now, and whether the journey is too hard for him.

Chen Qingzhu, who is missed by everyone in Cihang, has now taken Rong Niang out of Nanzhili and arrived in Anhui Province.

The affairs of the Nandu Horse Market did not take up too much of her time.

She felt relieved to leave the follow-up affairs to the three managers of Cihang Temple and Qin Dafu, and she didn't have to do everything herself.

However, Rong Niang had learned a great lesson from this incident and had been frowning and thinking all the way.

When Chen Qingzhu asked, he saw the little girl sigh deeply:

"That old man looks like a good person. I feel uncomfortable with him pulling a cart for us at such an old age. But if we don't let him pull the cart, he won't be able to make money, which seems even worse. I originally thought that when we got to Wucheng, I would give him some gold from my private money, but he turned out to be a beggar!"

"How abominable!"

The last words were spoken loudly and angrily, because he remembered Liu Wuniang who committed suicide as soon as she was rescued.

Although Rongniang still didn't quite understand what happened to her aunt, she understood that her reputation was ruined because of being kidnapped. Therefore, she hated the kidnapper very much.

Chen Qingzhu took the opportunity to teach her daughter:

"So, don't judge a person by his appearance. A bad person may not have a bad face."

"Many times, if a bad guy wants to do bad things successfully, he needs a trustworthy face."

"Then how can we tell the difference?" Rong Niang was eager to learn.

Chen Qingzhu then told her how to tell whether a person is lying or has bad intentions from their actions and expressions, and how to be cautious when going out.

Rong Niang took it to heart.

"Mother, we are all the same people. How can they do such a cruel thing for money?"

She really couldn't understand it and was full of confusion.

In her world, the worst people were the maids and concubines around her stepmother in the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion, who always found fault with her mother and bullied her.

The stepmother didn't seem to be a bad person and was always reasonable, but my mother still had a hard time living with her.

They used to be particularly afraid of their stepmother.

In any case, in her eyes, the people in Jingnan Marquis's Mansion were far from being bad enough to kill people.

Chen Qingzhu chuckled. Only a child would ask such a question.

However, she still patiently explained:

"Rong Niang, remember, everyone in this world is here for profit. Where there is profit, there will inevitably be disputes."

"Some people earn their living in an honest way, following the rules and being ethical, while others will do anything to gain benefits. That's it."

Rong Niang understood:

"Wouldn't there be a lot of bad guys in this world? I wish I could be as powerful as my mother. When I meet a bad guy in the future, I'll kick him one by one!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled and shook his head:

"Even if it's my mother, there are only so many bad guys she can defeat."

"What should I do?"

"Let more people help you. Look at all the children in the Salesian Church. Do you need your mother to raise them all by herself?"

Rong Niang suddenly understood.

"However, Rong Niang, there are not so many selfless saints in the world. People are always driven by interests. We also have to allow those helpers to have a certain degree of selfishness and badness."

"It's important that you set rules and decide how bad these people can be so that the benefits outweigh the harm."

Chen Qingzhu took the opportunity to talk to her and told her some rules of conduct for those in a higher position.

Of course, let's stop here. These topics are too profound and require Rong Niang to digest them slowly.

Rong Niang didn't fully understand, so she quickly took out a small charcoal pencil and notebook that wouldn't shake too much when writing in the car, and wrote down this sentence.

Seeing her so serious, Chen Qingzhu felt deeply relieved.

Thinking of Rong Niang's interest in direct force, Chen Qingzhu said:

"If Rong Niang wants to fight the bad guys herself, there is a set of skills you can learn. It is not comparable to the divine power bestowed on me by Master Cihang, but if you can cultivate it, you will be much stronger than your Aunt Hui'an and the others. Rong Niang, do you want to learn it?"

This was specially prepared by Chen Qingzhu for Rong Niang.

The original plan was to let her use this to kill time on the road, otherwise it would be too boring for Rong Niang to be alone if she was always practicing.

Besides, no one else has it as good as you have it.

If she starts competing for the world, there will be a lot of dangers around Rong Niang. It would be best if she could have the ability to protect herself.

"miss you!"

Rong Niang said without hesitation.

In fact, she envied her mother and Aunt Hui'an and the others.

But her mother didn't tell her that she could learn, so she didn't take the initiative to ask her mother to embarrass her.

Now that her mother has taken the initiative to bring it up, how can she not cherish the opportunity?

So Chen Qingzhu began to teach his daughter this set of internal skills that allow mortals to achieve enlightenment through martial arts.

Rong Niang has no spiritual roots, and her veins are not broad enough, so she is actually not a good material for practicing martial arts.

But with her help, Rong Niang could spend a few years cultivating to the level of a post-natal grandmaster and be able to fight against dozens of people alone.

Time passed quickly as Chen Qingzhu taught and the two of them practiced.

The newly appointed Songhu Lieutenant General Zheng Yuannai also arrived at the Songhu Prefecture Garrison Camp a few days ago, ready to make his mark here.
