Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

The man bowed deeply again.

"I am a scholar, and I understand that the young master is considerate of us, but..."

"Indeed, what the girl said is not wrong. We are under the protection of Xuanzhen Temple, but when the temple was attacked, we did not stand up to help. Moreover, we have been occupying this place, making it difficult for Xuanzhen Temple to survive. It is indeed like the girl said, we are really unkind and ungrateful."

After hearing what he said, some people in the crowd began to cry quietly.

shame; reason; conscience;

It’s not that they don’t have it, but when life is in crisis…

Some things are not that important.

……

The scholar continued, "For people like us who have nowhere to go, even if we take the silver, we don't know where to survive, let alone whether we can keep the silver."

"But if I sell myself now, maybe I can still have a chance to survive and be protected by the young master..."

When everyone heard what the scholar said, they slowly stopped crying.

"What the young lady said is correct, but I am more grateful for the young master's kindness in thinking of us. I... my family has grievances to redress, so I cannot sell myself."

"But now, I have no place to live, so I beg you to give me a chance. I am willing to sign a labor contract with you, Master."

"I am willing to work for a year, during which time I will be at your disposal, young master. I will not take a penny, and just take care of my food and clothing. I wonder..." The scholar blushed as he spoke of his plan.

Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes. This kid is really smart.

As soon as the scholar's words came out, people in the crowd immediately started whispering.

"I am below"

The scholar bowed again and said: "I can write and paint, and I am also proficient in the art of numbers. Please... take me in, young master."

After saying that, he bowed to the ground.

"I dare not, I dare not, this... sir..."

Xiaoyan hurried forward and bowed, saying, "No need to be so polite. I understand what you said, sir. Then..."

As Xiaoyan said this, he turned around and looked at Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong rolled his eyes.

That’s great. Now she is in a difficult situation.

But, actually... I am saying that I agree with the slavery system in this society.

In fact, Qin Qiong did not resonate with this at all.

After all, Qin Qiong is a person from the 21st century, and he is ultimately opposed to this kind of human trafficking.

She decided to let these people sign a contract to sell themselves, firstly because she was angry at their selfishness, and secondly because she wanted to make things easier for her later.

The human heart is the most unpredictable.

In this society where legal means cannot be used to constrain things, the only option is to use power.

"Since the young master has spoken, then, okay..."

Qin Qiong gave Xiaoyan a blank look.

She turned around and said loudly to the crowd: "Listen, everyone has troubles. The young master and the temple master are kind. If you want to go home or find another way out, we will still give each family one ounce of silver as a gift."

"There is no way out. The young master is willing to provide you with a job, but it depends on what you are good at and what you can do. Then, based on the specific work, I will give you a salary... No, it's a monthly salary."

"Think carefully, someone will be registering here soon, so tell the truth. Anyone who dares to lie and cheat people out of money... humph!"

After saying that, Qin Qiong pointed at the lame man on the ground.

Everyone fell silent.

Qin Qiong was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

She turned to look at Feng Qi and nodded.

"Okay, now listen."

After receiving Qin Qiong's nod, Feng Qi hurried forward and said loudly: "All the children who have no adults at home, I say, children, come with me to the temple first, there will be people there to prepare food for you, and the temple will also find a way for your future life..."

"Children don't need to sign a contract!".

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately started crying and expressing gratitude...

As a result, many children unconsciously walked out of the crowd.

Many of them were pushed out by their families.

At this time, a woman ran out from the crowd.

She ran to Fengqi and knelt down, holding a small child in her arms who looked like he was about to starve to death. She didn't say anything, but held her child high up with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Qin Qiong was also moved.

She frowned and turned her face away.

Feng Qi hurriedly helped the woman up.

He said loudly: "For children who are too young, their mothers can go with them."

All of a sudden, the crowd became chaotic again.

Soon several more women came out holding their children.

Xiaoyan looked at some young boys in the crowd, turned around and called Qin Qiong in a low voice, asking her to take a look.

He kept glaring at Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong is really, making him so angry that he rolled his eyes!

In this era, girls can get married at the age of fifteen, and boys mature even earlier.

Therefore, most of those who came out were children under ten years old...

Children over ten years old can go out to work and earn money.

So, a lot of the older kids didn’t come forward.

Of course, they have thought about it.

However, after Qin Qiong's blow just now, no one dared to have any... thoughts now.

"Listen carefully, anyone fourteen years old or older can go to the temple to eat first!"

Qin Qiong shouted angrily.

The crowd immediately started to boil.

People greeted each other, and too many children began to walk towards Fengqi.

The Taoist nun who was originally standing at the back also came over to support the women with children in the crowd.

At this time, four carriages drove up the mountain road from the city.

The people in the carriage were servants of the Li Mansion.

This is the person Qin Qiong borrowed after discussing with Madam Li in the morning.

In name, it was the Li Mansion that provided the manpower and effort, but the money was paid by Qin Qiong.

As the carriage approached, people immediately smelled the fragrance of food.

People immediately realized that the young master and Xuanzhen Temple had not deceived them.

Immediately someone shouted, "I am willing to sell myself as a slave!"

"We would like to do that, too!"

"I can... I can do carpentry, I can..."

……

People shouted and began to rush towards the carriage.

"Back off!"

At this time, General Xiaoli shouted loudly, shocking the still crowded crowd.

"Everyone line up! Follow the adults' instructions. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

General Xiaoli stood out majestically.

"Yes!"

Zhang He and Wang Bo responded immediately and drew their swords at the same time.

This not only shocked everyone at the scene, but even Qin Qiong was frightened.

However, Qin Qiong reacted immediately.

She whispered to Xiaoyan: "Look at him, then look at you...tsk tsk"

After saying that, he ignored Xiaoyan’s face which had turned round and pale with anger.

He said to the people in the leading carriage: "There are too many children here. We need two carriages to go to the temple and let the people in the temple arrange for the children to eat and rest first. Two carriages will be enough here."

The person on the horse is an old steward of the Li Mansion.

After listening to Qin Qiong's words, he looked at his young general and nodded.

After a brief hello, the two carriages in front headed straight towards Xuanzhen Temple.

The children, who were still a little confused at this time, immediately understood.

So, they called their friends and followed the carriage towards Xuanzhen Temple.
