One Flower, Two, Three Nine, Four, Five Moons (!）
The coachman was already waiting outside with a stool ready. Therefore, Chu He and Yan Lingji got off the carriage one after another.
It was noon, and the sun was a little scorching.
"Yanyi, open the umbrella!"
Hearing Chu He's order, Yan Lingji almost wanted to rebel. This guy who didn't do anything after fooling her had so many things to do.
She had already come all the way here, and now she had to hold an umbrella.
Even so, Yan Lingji still took out the paper umbrella she had prepared in the sedan chair and stood beside Chu He.
It blocked the light of the scorching sun.
However, this was already a gathering place for refugees outside the city. On both sides of the official road, there were broken monuments and ruins, leaving traces of the battle.
From time to time, they could see a few poor people looking up at them numbly. His hair was unkempt and his clothes tattered.
"These are refugees from the Bai Yue."
Chu He said," Back then, the Bai Yue was defeated, and the people of the Bai Yue were homeless.”
"Most of the people wandered to the Chu Country, but the Chu Country would not accept them for no reason. Therefore, there were still some people who wandered around, and some people ended up in the Han Country.”
Yan Lingji was silent.
Chu He looked around and saw the survivors of the Bai Yue hiding in various places secretly looking at him. They looked very cautious. It was likely that they had been bullied.
"Men!"
Chu He waved his hand, and the four servants who were following behind the carriage immediately took down the goods from the carriage.
The four servants were all sweating. The reason was that Chu He wanted them to bring something.
It was 200 steamed buns.
They were still hot and were all placed in the carriage. They were in charge of escorting them and were also in the carriage. It was noon now, so it was still hot.
"Go!"
Chu He waved his hand again, and the two servants immediately nodded.
Although they were servants, they were all guards with swords. They had strong backs and strong waists. They unloaded their things and stood forward with their swords in hand.
"Which one of you is the leader!"
There were a few refugees who wanted to hide, but after being shouted at by the guards, they could only walk out one by one.
"Sir Official, we will leave immediately.”
An old man with his head tied up walked out. Although he looked old, his body was still strong, but his body was arched.
He looked terrified.
"You guys are lucky!"
The guard sent by Chu He said," Our Master has taken a liking to some of you and has specially come to recruit you.”
"Attract, attract?" The old man, who looked like the village chief, could not help but be surprised.
Ever since the Bai Yue was destroyed, they had been living in the open. They had returned from Chu, but they had also been bullied. No one was willing to recruit them.
"Yes, my husband wants young girls between the ages of 8 to 12. He wants to recruit a total of seven girls. Get them out!" The guard didn't stand on ceremony, but Chu He wouldn't stop her. As for Yan Lingji…what could she do now?
She would probably do it if the guards were to kill someone.
"Are you really going to recruit such a young girl?”
Yan Lingji approached Chu He.
Chu He got someone to prepare steamed buns and brought rice in the car. It didn't seem like he was going to do anything bad.
But if it was recruiting…
He could just look for it in the Zhang residence. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
"Although I am prepared to rely on Zhang Liang for a long period of time, I still have to set up some defenses. Moreover…don't you think that refugees who are hungry and full are easier to tame? I have my own reasons for recruiting a few people. Don't ask too much."
"Hiss-"
Then, Yan Lingji stopped talking.
She was born in the Yue Country, but she also had a miserable past. Moreover, she could not help.
"Three stones of rice per child. Those who agree, come and sign your name.”
Chu He handed over the matter of getting along with the refugees and signing their names to his subordinates. In front of him were seven little girls of similar height, but only up to his waist.
Some of them had messy hair and dirty faces, and some of them were even barefoot. Some of them had scratches on their feet, and their hands were black from rubbing something.
However, they all had their heads lowered and stood side by side in fear.
They stood a little close to each other, as if they could feel a little at ease with their companions by their side.
Chu He looked at the round-faced little girl with pigtails standing in the third place.
"What's your name?"
This was a forced purchase. Just now, this girl had protected her younger brother and thought that her younger brother had been sold, but Chu He was not interested in her younger brother, so he only bought her. This child seemed to be more sensible and knew how to read people's eyes.
Therefore, Chu He was prepared to choose her as the captain of the seven of them.
He did not want to take care of everyone carefully.
"Er, Er Ya." The round-faced girl was still a little afraid, so she stammered.
"Er Ya?"
What kind of name was this?
"Listen up, you have all been sold to me. She belongs to me, Chu He."
"As for your names…I'll give you a new one.”
Chu He asked Er Ya to stand in the second position. This way, it would be more convenient for them to remember.
"Are there any good options?"
he asked Yan Lingji.
"How about Qin, Qi, Shi, and Hua?"
"Forget it, you have no taste." Chu He waved her to the side and stood in front of the little girl on the left." From left to right, remember your new names. Yihua, Erno, Sanjiu. Four, five, six water, seven wood.”
" Pfft!" Yan Lingji almost burst out laughing.
What kind of classy name is this? It's weird.
