Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

When Su Lianxue arrived at the shop, she saw that the servants were all busy at work.

In order to expand the influence of the clinic, Su Lianxue had some free medicine packs prepared, which she planned to give away to everyone on the opening day.

On the other hand, she started recruiting, since she was definitely short-handed.

Chu Mohan had said he would help her find people, but Su Lianxue felt it would be more appropriate to post a notice and publicly recruit people.

Firstly, she could spread the word through word of mouth; secondly, she didn't want to rely on Chu Mohan for everything.

Su Lianxue, who was sitting in front of the lobby, looked up and saw a person sneaking around and looking into the store. She didn't know what the person was up to.

So Su Lianxue instructed the shop assistants to find out about this person and specifically told them not to drive him away.

The waiter arrived at the door and saw the man.

The shop assistant stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what are you doing here? This is a clinic, not officially open yet. If you need any medicine, please tell me first, and I'll go ask my owner if they have it."

After a long silence, the person slowly raised their head.

The man was startled when he saw it. There was a huge scar on the man's face, almost covering his entire face, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Seeing the waiter's reaction, the man quickly lowered his head again and pointed to the job posting on the door. The waiter, seeing that the man was looking for work, replied that he would ask the owner and asked him to wait a moment.

After the waiter explained the situation of the people outside to Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue nodded slightly, signaling Xiao Tao to lead the person in.

Before long, a short figure slowly entered. This person looked extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

She was worlds apart from the tall, muscular men here. Her clothes looked worn and were covered with patches of all sizes.

Then, Su Lianxue smiled gently and said softly, "Young man, please sit down and let's talk slowly."

The man shook his head slightly, appearing quite reserved and not daring to look up at Su Lianxue.

Seeing this, Su Lianxue could only continue, "I am the owner of this clinic. What can you do?"

The person in front of me slowly lowered his head, nervously twisting the hem of his clothes with both hands.

He murmured, "I will do whatever the master assigns me. I can do any dirty or hard work, I just pray that the master can give me a job so that I can survive."

Su Lianxue was slightly taken aback when she heard the hoarse voice; it was quite obvious that it was a woman's voice.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Lianxue's eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm so sorry, I thought you were a young man. Miss, are you a local resident? Have you encountered any difficulties? It's alright, tell me what you're good at, and I'll arrange something more suitable for you. Don't be afraid. Miss, what's your name?"

"The little one's name is Cailian, and she's from Xiliang Village nearby."

“A few days ago, our village was massacred by the barbarians from the northern desert. Those barbarians were like demons; they stormed into the village, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities.”

"Almost everyone in the village is dead, except for some children. The scars on my face are from that incident."

After saying that, she gently raised her hand and tremblingly touched the shocking scar on her face.

The scar, like an ugly centipede, snaked across her cheek, evoking pity in those who saw it.

She then said, "Master, I know a lot of medicinal herbs, I can clean, and I can read. Please, master, take me in. I can do anything." She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and tears fell like beads from a broken string, dripping onto the ground and splashing up tiny teardrops.

Hearing her story, Su Lianxue felt a surge of heartache.

She stood up, walked to Cailian's side, gently took her hand, and comforted her, "Miss Cailian, don't worry, I'll accept you."

Then he added, "Don't worry, the general will definitely avenge you."

She looked at Cai Lian's wound again and couldn't help but think that she should go back and ask the military doctor if he had any way to make the wound look less terrible.

However, there's no need to rush. It would be better if the woman worked in the shop later and the military doctor treated her personally.

Then, she instructed the waiter to take the girl around to familiarize her with the surroundings.

In Mofang City, people who can recognize medicinal herbs and read are truly invaluable.

People like Xiaotao and Xiaomei around me are illiterate, so in some ways, it's still better to have someone who can read.

However, it would be best to thoroughly investigate this person's identity.

Then she asked the guards who had followed her if this was true.

Xuan Ying simply nodded slightly, his expression cold and stern, and said nothing more.

Xuan Chen then said, "Miss, Xiliang Village was indeed massacred by the Hu barbarians of Mobei some time ago. Almost everyone in the village is dead. The general has made proper arrangements for the survivors. However, we still need to find out whether this woman is from Xiliang Village."

Su Lianxue nodded slowly.

Su Lianxue instructed her men to return and inform the general of the matter.

She must be extra careful now, and she must not keep those who have ulterior motives or ulterior intentions around her.

After receiving Su Lianxue's message, Chu Mohan instructed Ling Lin, who was by his side, to personally inquire about the matter.

Ling Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As a deputy general, he had countless responsibilities, yet now he was being sent to inquire about a mere maid simply because of a single sentence from Miss Su. Thinking this to himself, he muttered to himself.

Chu Mohan said in a deep voice, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Seeing Chu Mohan's provocative gaze, Ling Lin could only touch his forehead and say, "How could that be?" Then he ran out the door as fast as he could.

Chu Mohan couldn't help but snort.

......

Looking at the swirling snow outside, Granny Zhang was filled with worry. She was truly concerned for Su Lianxue, wondering if she would catch a cold outside.

Su Lianxue is currently extremely busy and has not yet fully recovered, but she refuses to stay at home. As her nanny, all I can do is feel sorry for her.

Zhang Mama knew that Su Lianxue was extremely picky about food, so she was always racking her brains to find ways to make the food more refined.

However, the ingredients in this place are really limited, and there are many things that are impossible to make even if one wants to. Thinking of this, Granny Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

As the old woman was thinking, she saw Su Lianxue return. At this moment, the wind and snow were still raging outside, and the biting cold wind was howling, making the doors and windows creak.
