When all the learning tasks are completed, it is time to wash up and take a bath, wash away the fatigue, fall asleep peacefully, and welcome the new day.

Lin Qingxue knows very well that only children who study hard and persevere can truly master various skills and be assigned to suitable positions to give full play to their strengths.

For those children who find it difficult to devote themselves to study, they can go to the shop to help run errands in the future and support themselves through their own efforts.

Adopting so many orphans is not an easy task, but Lin Qingxue is determined not to give up halfway. She firmly believes that as long as she teaches with care, every child can learn a skill to survive and gain a foothold in this world, which is better than them begging on the streets.

A few hours later, Wen Nuan returned. She excitedly reported to Lin Qingxue, "Master, that's great! The government said there's indeed an ownerless, barren mountain near Linjia Village, and the terrain perfectly suits your requirements. It's just..."

"Just what?" Lin Qingxue asked anxiously.

Wen Nuan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "It's just that the barren mountain is not only steep but also full of wild animals. It's not a good idea to go in easily."

Lin Qingxue smiled lightly: "That's okay. What we need is a barren mountain that can't be easily entered. Just go and buy it. When we get back the warm water and hot springs, I have something else for you to do."

"Yes, master." Seeing Lin Qingxue so decisive, Wen Nuan said nothing more. She was a servant and just had to do her master's orders.

Afterwards, Lin Qingxue began to write a detailed plan. She combined the knowledge she learned in the police academy with the current actual situation and developed a comprehensive and systematic training program.

She also made a list of supplies, including training equipment, daily necessities, weapons and equipment, and prepared to send people to purchase them.

Just when Lin Qingxue's carefully written plan was freshly released, Wen Nuan returned like a gust of wind, holding the crucial deed to the barren mountain in his hand.

That was not an ordinary land deed, but one that had been solemnly stamped and certified by the government, which meant that from that moment on, the barren mountain that had been ignored by everyone now had an owner.

Lin Qingxue carefully took the deed to the barren mountain, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world. She carefully examined every word and every seal mark on it, as if she wanted to imprint them deeply in her mind.

Gradually, a smile of extreme satisfaction appeared on her beautiful face, and that smile was as bright and charming as a flower blooming in spring.

Because she knew very well in her heart that this seemingly inconspicuous barren mountain would become the most solid and reliable support and reliance for her and the entire Lin family in the future.

"Well done, Wen Nuan. You've worked so hard during this period!" Lin Qingxue said with a smile in her eyes. Now that the barren mountain has been successfully purchased, it is time to make intensive preparations for the follow-up matters.

"Working for the master, how can it be hard?" Wen Nuan responded quickly and bowed slightly.

At this time, Wen Nuan and Wen Rou stood side by side in front of Lin Qingxue. They were both calm and composed, but they kept their heads down, showing great respect.

"How about this, Wen Nuan, you go to the academy and tell Lao Wu to bring the children back home as soon as possible. I have something important to explain to them in person."

When mentioning the ten brothers and sisters in the family, including Lin Xiaoshan, a series of thoughts flashed through Lin Qingxue's mind. Don't these little guys always say that they want to become majestic generals when they grow up?

In this case, it would be better to throw them all onto this barren mountain to undergo arduous training. As long as they can persevere, let alone becoming a general, even if they want to achieve any career in the future, it will probably be no problem!

"Yes, master, I'll go right away!" Wen Nuan responded respectfully, then turned around and left the Lin Mansion with light and quick steps.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the soft afterglow fell on the earth, casting a faint golden glow on the whole world.

Before she knew it, it was already afternoon. Wen Nuan knew that the task she was responsible for was urgent and she had to start preparing immediately.

On the other side, after receiving Lin Qingxue's clear and concise instructions, Lin Qingmin did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as the bell rang, he rushed out of the academy like an arrow from a bow, and then quickly gathered his ten nephews and nieces, and hurriedly took them on the journey home.

Along the way, the children were like birds out of a cage, releasing their energy and nature.

Some of them were singing and laughing, with clear and pleasant laughter coming one after another; some were chasing and playing with each other, like a group of naughty and cute little monkeys; others were playing in groups of two or three, and the scene was very lively.

In such a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, the group finally arrived at the door of their home. As soon as they stepped through the door, their eyes were attracted by Lin Qingyue who was sitting upright in the front hall.

Lin Qingyue was sitting there, with an upright posture and dignified manner, like a blooming lotus, quietly waiting for everyone to return.

"Sister, why did you call us all back in such a hurry? You know we can't rest until the day after tomorrow, and we still have a full day of classes tomorrow!"

Lin Qingmin asked questions like a machine gun, and at the same time, he walked towards Lin Qingxue in two steps. In the blink of an eye, he was already beside his sister. Without saying a word, he sat down in the chair beside her.

Then, he put away the relaxed smile on his face and replaced it with a serious expression. He stared at Lin Qingxue intently, as if trying to find clues to the matter from her eyes and expression.

In fact, Lin Qingmin knew it very clearly in his mind. If it wasn't an extremely urgent and crucial matter, given the character of his sister who was always calm, steady and self-controlled, she would never have mobilized so many people to go to the school and call back these children in advance.

After all, the day after tomorrow is the day of rest. Even if I am extremely anxious, there seems to be no need to be so impatient that I am unwilling to wait even for a short day.

Lin Qingxue looked at her brother and the children, and said with a smile, "Fifth Brother, I know you're busy with your studies, but today's matter can't be delayed. I've bought a barren mountain and plan to use it as a training ground to cultivate a group of capable people. They will be used by our Lin family in the future and will also ensure peace in the area."

"Sister, why did you suddenly think of this? Was it the Gu family's affairs that stimulated you?"

Lin Qingmin frowned in confusion, staring at Lin Qingxue, wondering in his heart, could it be that the things that happened in the Gu family made his usually gentle and quiet sister have such bold ideas.

He knew very well that his sister had always been kind-hearted and gentle, and her behavior now must have shown that she had suffered a great deal of injustice.

Unlike Lin Qingmin's worries and doubts, the originally quiet scene instantly became lively as soon as the children heard Lin Qingxue's words.

Their eyes widened, their faces lit up with excitement, as if they had discovered a new world.

Lin Xiaoshan was especially excited. She jumped up and waved her hands, shouting, "Auntie, are you going to teach us martial arts so we can fight the bad guys? Let's be chivalrous and fight for justice like those heroes!"

Not to be outdone, the little boy beside him eagerly asked, "Auntie, if I learn martial arts, can I join the army? I can become a majestic general in the future!"

Another child blinked his eyes and asked expectantly, "Auntie, after we learn these skills, we don't have to go to the academy anymore, right? Memorizing and practicing calligraphy every day is too boring."

Another child followed up with a question: "Auntie, if we learn these things, will we still need to go to school in the future?"

......

For a moment, the ten children were talking non-stop, and the whole room was filled with their laughter.

Lin Qingxue smiled at the group of innocent and lovely children. She reached out and gently touched her two daughters' heads. She said in a gentle voice, "Children, Auntie will not only teach you martial arts, but also many other powerful skills. However, this training will not be as easy and fun as playing games. It will be very hard. You must be mentally prepared. Do you dare to accept such a challenge?"

"Don't be afraid!" The children shouted in unison without hesitation. Their voices were loud and firm, revealing the courage of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

However, Lin Qingmin, who was standing by, kept frowning and said to Lin Qingxue worriedly, "Sister, isn't this too dangerous? After all, they are just children. What if something unexpected happens?"

Lin Qingxue's expression instantly grew serious. She stared intently at Ah Min and said solemnly, "Ah Min, the world we live in now is far from stable! We must teach these children how to protect themselves as early as possible. Otherwise, when things get tough in the future, they might not even be able to cope. Don't worry, I'll make the most thorough arrangements to ensure their safety."

Hearing this, Lin Qingmin couldn't help but frown, his face full of disapproval. He looked straight at Lin Qingxue and asked, "Sister, did you hear some news from somewhere?"

He knew very well that his sister would never harm anyone, but after all, the children were still young, and it was still a big question whether they could withstand such training.

Lin Qingxue nodded first, then shook her head gently and slowly explained, "Xiaoshan and Xiaoqi told me that they want to join the army in the future; Xiaotao, on the other hand, is thinking about doing business. As for the other little guys, although they haven't decided on their future paths yet, this doesn't stop them from practicing martial arts together to keep fit! By the way, Xiaowu, haven't you and the others been practicing martial arts with Wenrou and Wenquan for a while? Tell me, what are your feelings?"

Lin Qingmin pondered for a moment, carefully recalling his past self and the changes he had undergone during this period of time, before answering, "Hmm... not bad. I feel like my strength has increased significantly since I started practicing martial arts, and my physical strength is much better than before. I feel more energetic!"

As he spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, as if wanting to show off his growing strength.

"That's it, Xiaowu! Even if our Lin family earns a lot of money, we're still just an ordinary family. In the eyes of those aristocratic families, our Lin family is no different from a tiny ant, easily crushed to death or trampled underfoot at any time. Even if you can pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the future, it will still take a lot of time to slowly accumulate your own network of resources and strong capital. And judging by the current situation, it will take at least twenty years before we have even a slight chance of shaking up those deeply rooted old families. That's why I have to come up with other countermeasures and make sufficient preparations in advance."

As soon as Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she began to tell everyone in detail about her carefully conceived overall plan.

This plan not only covers in-depth and systematic learning arrangements for various cultural knowledge, but also involves high-intensity physical training plans, and even professional training programs for various practical skills.

The children listened attentively, their faces sometimes looking nervous and sometimes full of anticipation.

After all, they are all in their teens, young and energetic, with infinite courage and guts deep in their hearts. It is the kind of passionate period when they dare to try anything they think of.

"Sis, now that things have come to this, since you've thought it through so thoroughly, let's get started!"

Lin Qingmin looked around at Lin Xiaoshan and others around him with a serious and calm face, and said in a firm tone.

He was not stupid. He knew very well that since his sister could say such words, it was enough to prove that she must have thought it over carefully and it was not just an impulsive idea that came out of the heat of the moment.

"Okay, I still need your active cooperation! Xiaoshan, Xiaotao, and Xiaoqi have already clearly decided what they want to do in the future, so from now on, they no longer need to go to the academy. As for the rest of the children, you can still follow me in the academy and study peacefully, but at the same time, you must not slack off in your martial arts training."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, her eyes slowly swept over Lin Qingming and several other younger generations. Her intention was obvious - because these young nephews had not yet been able to clearly think about their future development direction.

Then they can continue to stay in the academy and study hard for the time being, and once they have a clear goal in mind, they can decide on the specific path to take.
