After this battle, the villagers also realized it.

Yan Erhu was not lying. This Lü Liang had indeed shown mercy to Han Dahe and Han Dachuan. With his kung fu, ten Han Dahe and ten Han Dachuan would not be able to defeat him.

Han Qingyun pulled Han Hongzhi aside and told him about his plan.

Han Hongzhi was surprised: "Qingyun, are you sure you want to take them in? These people, especially that guy named Lu Liang, are not easy to deal with."

Han Qingyun naturally couldn't tell him what Lu Yanyan had told him, so he just nodded.

"I don't think these people are particularly evil. They are very loyal to their brothers. Although there are many of us, there are also many women and children. We don't have any self-defense skills."

"If we can keep these people, it will be of great help to us. However, this is just my personal opinion. I think Lu Liang is a proud and arrogant person. He may not agree to stay with us."

"Uncle Village Chief, if they want to leave, since the things have been returned and the villagers have vented their anger, let them go."

Han Hongzhi actually didn't know what to do. Apart from his two sons who were injured, no other people in the village suffered any losses. If he released these people, the villagers probably wouldn't object.

He had just seen that it would have been easy for Lü Liang to kill his son, so he had only injured them, showing mercy. Doctor Liu had also said that Dahe and Dachuan were no longer in serious condition.

In this situation, he couldn't continue to hold the people captive. If he stayed, he would have to feed them. It would be better to let them go.

"Qingyun, if they insist on staying, do you really want to take them in? I don't think that Yan Erhu is asking you to take them in just to save his life. He seems to really want to follow you. Yan Dahu is brave but not wise, so there's no need to worry. It's just that Lu Liang..."

Lu Fugui, who had followed, interrupted and said, "It doesn't matter. Lu Liang can't beat Dalin. At most, he can draw with Changping, not to mention my father-in-law."

Han Hongzhi was shocked. Who? Lü Changping? That 13 or 14-year-old boy? How could he fight Lü Liang to a draw?

Even Han Qingyun's eyes widened, but Lu Fugui never lied about such things. Judging from his expression, Changping's kung fu was probably much better than Lu Liang's.

Han Hongzhi was shocked but also relieved.

Although he felt sorry for his son's injury, their safety would be better guaranteed if there was another person like Lu Liang in the team.

After Han Hongzhi figured it out, he said to the two of them, "Let's go see what those people mean. If they want to stay, I'll go and convince the villagers. But you still have to find a way to make sure these people don't have any bad intentions towards us."

"it is good."

Han Qingyun walked to the center of the field and asked Yan Erhu, "You just asked me to take you in, right? But your friend won the fight, so you can leave now."

Yan Erhu quickly said, "No, no, we're willing to stay and work for you."

Yan Dahu, who was standing by, was almost mad at his brother. This person had told them to leave, so why was his stupid brother still eager to stay?

Lu Liang also raised his eyebrows. Of course he couldn't let his brothers sell themselves into slavery. Even if it cost him his life, he would take them away.

But he knew Yan Erhu. Yan Erhu was the smartest of them all. He wanted to stay, so there must be a reason. Not only Yan Erhu, but the other four people who were tied up also looked like they wanted to stay.

Lu Liang began to understand. Alas, there is no hero in front of food and drink, and no hero under hunger. But asking him to sell himself into slavery just for a meal was absolutely impossible.

Chang Fei, who had been silent all the time, has already stepped forward to untie Yan Dahu and others. Whether to leave or stay is decided by Erhu and Lu Liang. He just wants to be with his brothers.

"Why should I keep you here? Except that he has some abilities." Han Qingyun raised his chin and looked at Lu Liang, whose expression was uncertain.

"But we don't lack people like him around us. As for you, I don't know what you can do."

When Yan Erhu heard that there was a chance, he shook off Yan Dahu who was trying to pull him away and bowed to Han Qingyun.

"Please give me a moment, sir. I need to explain things to my eldest brother first. I just have one thing to ask: can we sign a living contract with you instead of a life contract? Then we can earn money to redeem ourselves."

"And there's Brother Lu Liang. He won't sign the indenture. But rest assured, sir. As long as we're by your side, Brother Lu Liang will do his utmost to serve you."

After saying that, Yan Erhu quickly turned around and pulled Yan Dahu towards the other people, fearing that if he walked too slowly he would be rejected by Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun was stunned. "I haven't said anything yet. Who asked you to sign a contract to sell your bodies? You haven't told me what you have that would make me keep you."

Yan Erhu was discussing with a few other people in a low voice. The villagers could not hear anything and just stared at them curiously. Occasionally, they could hear Yan Dahu's sudden roar.

Yan Erhu was exhausted. He hadn't eaten a single bite since yesterday morning, and he was beaten again. He was finally about to get a big shot, but his elder brother was holding him back.

"Brother, we are not selling ourselves to him. We are just working for him in exchange for food. When we make money in the future, we will redeem ourselves."

"Bullshit, what's the point of a life-or-death contract? Selling yourself is selling yourself. We sold it to him, so even if we made money, it's all his. How can we redeem ourselves?"

"Don't we have Brother Lu Liang? Brother Lu Liang won't sign a contract to sell us. Brother Lu Liang is so capable, he will definitely be able to make money quickly to redeem us."

Lu Liang: So this is what you meant when you said you wouldn't let me sign the indenture. I'm really touched. The redemption money for seven brothers is really stressful. He now has to think about what he can do to make a lot of money as soon as possible when he arrives in Luocheng.

Yan Dahu's attitude softened a little. What his second brother said was right. If they didn't eat something, how many days could they last?

They were all young and strong men, and with Lu Liang as their good fighter, they could certainly use any means to steal some food, but he couldn't do that.

Stealing from these people at night was shameful enough. If he went to rob them, his father would definitely come to him in his dream and strangle him to death.

"Why don't we hold on a little longer? We'll be in Wanxian Town in two days. Even if we just work as waiters, as long as we don't starve to death, that's all that matters."

"You're stupid, big brother. Prince Lin is about to invade the county. He brought so many troops, and he only attacked Wuping County? Lin'an Prefecture must be next. Lin'an Prefecture will either resist or surrender. If they resist, how long can they hold out? We will all be captured and forced to guard the city gates."

Seeing that the others' expressions had softened, Yan Erhu continued to persuade Yan Dahu earnestly.

"If we surrender, the entire Lin'an Prefecture will have to support Prince Lin's army. Jiyang has eight million disaster victims and a million Jiyang soldiers. By then, not only Lin'an Prefecture, but also Pingyang Prefecture, Anling Prefecture, Shangyang Prefecture, and maybe other prefectures will have to be emptied to support the people of Jiyang. By then, how can we survive?"

Yan Dahu's expression changed, and Yan Erhu sighed again.

"You've forgotten one thing. Aside from Lu Liangge's household registration documents, which he carries with him, ours have all been taken away by that bastard official named Qiao. If we don't want to become refugees, we can only rely on that scholar. He's a scholar!"

Now even Lu Liang's face changed. He carried his household registration with him, but there was only his own name on the household registration document. What should he do with his seven brothers?

Chang Fei, who was forced to become a prostitute, asked, "What if he forces us to sign a death contract? If we sign a death contract, our lives will be in the hands of others."

The others all stared at Yan Erhu, and Yan Erhu's expression also became solemn.

"I don't think that scholar is that kind of person. We don't want to sell ourselves for money, we just want to have something to eat and not starve to death. If this man takes advantage of our misfortune and insists on signing a death contract, then we brothers will starve to death rather than sign it."

"Okay, I'll listen to Erhu. Brother Lu Liang, you have to redeem us as soon as possible. We also need household registration, which will cost a lot of money in the future."

Lu Liang: The pressure is even greater.
