"Do you have relatives in your family?"

The two brothers lowered their heads sadly, and Yang Dali said: "My parents were washed away by the flood. After the flood receded, we searched along the road. We searched for half a month but couldn't find my wife..."

The seven-foot-tall man choked up and burst into tears when he said this.

Yang Erli next to him continued: "My sister-in-law was snatched and raped by those beasts. Her body was thrown away, as well as my nephew who was only three years old."

Shen Qing sighed, "When I came from the east, I saw a mass grave on the roadside. Your relatives may be there. Don't worry, just listen to me."

Seeing these two people about to throw down the bowl and run away, she hurriedly stopped them, "There are many corpses over there, and you two alone can't do it. Besides, the corpses of other tenants also need to be collected. Now you can point me to those people." Choose carefully which ones belong to your Zhuangzi and which ones do not. Although the bandits were captured, there is no guarantee that nothing has slipped through the net."

This matter is not trivial. If those thieves are allowed to sneak into Zhuangzi, the consequences will be disastrous.

The two nodded and heard Shen Qing say again: "You two will have one person to send the girls away. As long as they want to go home, I will ask someone to send them away. Is this done?" Anyway, she didn't want to keep any of them.

But at last count, there were only two people who wanted to go home. One was a tall girl named Chun Ni.The other one is thin and small, named Hongxing. Her family lives in Pingchuan County. She was picked up on the mountain road when she went to the temple to offer incense.She is the only daughter in the family. Her parents are old and they set up a small stall in the county town to sell sweets.

Fine!It's two if you can send two away.

Chuni handed it to Yang Erli and asked him to punt the boat to send the people back.

Hongxing asked Maodou to arrange someone to send her away.

Luo Qin and Fan Xiaoshan led Yang Dali to identify people. If there was any danger, Luo Qin would be there to guard them. Fan Xiaoshan was responsible for taking note of people. Although he could not read, his memory was still good.

Maodou asked someone to bring a table from a nearby house. Shen Qing could use it to work. She took out her money box and started counting the money. "You ask someone to go to town and buy some food. In addition, talk to Feng Chengcheng." Just say, post a notice at the door of Hongfu Restaurant, saying that Yangzhuang is recruiting tenants, providing housing, cattle, farm tools, and allocating grain seeds, and the fields can be contracted on a per-household basis, without contracting fees, and each family can be contracted according to the amount of labor. , determine the upper limit of the contract, two harvests, only [-]% of the rent will be paid in the first year, and the rest will belong to the tenants, it is written in black and white, and it is confirmed by the seal, and it is absolutely true!"

Maodou stood aside and listened quietly to what she said. He was not surprised, but just felt strange, "Girl, are our conditions too generous?"

This is simply equivalent to hiring someone to farm for free, with a [-]% rent. It’s just like playing.

Shen Qing coldly said: "These two villages have hundreds of acres of fields, most of which are wasteland. Look how tall the grass grows. If the conditions are not good, where can you find people? Everything is difficult at the beginning, first of all Let’s put Zhuangzi into operation and we’ll see how things go next year. Anyway, when we sign the contract, we’ll sign it for one year first, no, let’s do it for two years! Otherwise, the tenants won’t be able to ruthlessly clean up the wasteland.”

Thin land needs fertilization to achieve a high harvest.

In the era of manual work, farming was hard work, and fertilizing was even more difficult. Carrying mud from ponds and retting manure were all dirty and tiring. If they were not given some hope, they would not work hard.

Maodou nodded frequently and secretly made a note to follow his master. He must have a good memory, otherwise he would be in trouble if he delayed his affairs.

Maodou took the errand and went with his two little brothers. Niu Bao was waiting aside, waiting for her instructions.

Shen Qing thought for a while and said: "Your mission is to find the heads of these two villages to see if they have left any account deeds. It doesn't matter what they are. As long as you think they are useful, bring them to me."

"Yes!"

"Shen Qi, take Liu Ye with you and find a place for us to stay temporarily. It needs to be clean and preferably no one has died." Shen Qi and Liu Ye also took care of their errands.

In the end, there were only twelve girls with dull eyes left beside her. They squatted together, opposite Shen Qing, and peeked at her from time to time with helpless and hesitant eyes.

Shen Qing sighed, clasping his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in front of them.

I really can't think of any good ideas, so I can only break the jar and throw it away.

"I'll give you two ways out, either send you to the mountains to become Taoist nuns, or... send you to the county government office, where you will be resettled by someone."

These girls are all hot potatoes, and it is not appropriate to stay in the village.

The place was silent again.

Shen Qing was speechless, "Which of you wants to be a nun?"

"You think we are unclean, don't you?" A little girl with an oval face, whose face was dirty, cried.

After crying for a few times, without waiting for Shen Qing's answer, he continued: "Although I have a family, my parents and the elders in the family will not leave a girl who ruins her innocence, but I don't want to go either." As a sister-in-law, instead of waiting to die, it is better to die now, go to the Hall of Hell, and beg the Lord of Hell to give me a good pregnancy."

As soon as she said this, several girls surrounding her also began to cry.

"It's not easy for a woman in this world, let alone a woman who has her innocence ruined. If you go out and ask around, you will find out how many families have lost their daughters and reported to the government. Then you will know why we are desperate." The speaker was an older girl. .

Suddenly, a girl rushed out of the crowd, knelt down and ran towards her. When he was ten steps away, he kowtowed to her crazily and desperately, "The little girl has no way to repay the girl for saving her life. She is willing to be like a cow or a horse. I will serve the girl all my life, even if I have to die for her, I will never complain, please don’t drive us away!"

The older girl just now also rushed out and kowtowed to Shen Qing with her, "We all saw what the girl said and did when she came to the village. We knew that the girl was a person who hated evil and acted decisively. The girl not only saved us , and severely punished the evil thief, the girl is our reborn parent, please give us a bite of food, even if it means feeding cattle, plowing the fields, weaving and starching, just give us a place to stay, please!"

More and more girls came over to kneel down and kowtow to her.

Shen Qing was like a life-saving straw they suddenly grasped when they were sinking in the water.

They were like newborn animals. When they were tortured and humiliated by the water bandits and felt that there was only one way to die, she suddenly appeared and saved them.

In their view, Shen Qing is their savior and their strongest support in the world.

Only by following Shen Qing can they feel safe.

Besides, since we are all women, we will definitely not dislike them too much for being unclean.

Maybe!
The girls felt a little unsure.

Shen Qing covered his forehead, speechless and wanted to hit the wall.
