Visit ancient times with a super mall

"No, I don't just need your loyalty, I need the loyalty of a group of you, do you understand?"

Chu Chen looked at Ergouzi on the ground and said seriously.

"Benefactor, I am here on behalf of the 27 of us, and I swear to be loyal to you forever."

"Get up, it's useless to talk anymore. I'll spend this year with you first, and we'll talk about the rest next year."

Chu Chen pulled Er Gouzi up.

"I will leave at noon tomorrow, so before noon tomorrow, find a remote yard where you can all settle down."

"This is the first thing. I believe you can do it well."

After hearing this, Ergouzi turned around and disappeared into the night, thinking to himself, this is the first mission.

Seeing him leaving, Chu Chen turned around and returned to the house.

Li Qinglian saw him go out and come in again, so she didn't ask any questions.

There are several dishes of side dishes already placed on the table.

After dinner, I had been busy all day and had no intention of visiting this ancient night market.

So I went to bed early to rest.

After getting up and eating the next day, Li Qinglian cleaned the house. Although she wasn't here to celebrate the New Year, it still had to be clean.

After staying in the house for an hour, Chu Chen, who was bored, walked towards the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw Er Gouzi staying at the door.

"Why didn't you knock on the door?" Chu Chen asked with interest.

"In broad daylight, I'm worried about outsiders seeing it."

"Okay, wait a moment."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he walked into the house, gave Qinglian a few instructions, and followed Ergouzi towards the north.

After walking for about half an hour, the two came to the door of a dilapidated house.

The location is remote, far away from the market, and there are not many homes nearby.

"How much money does this house cost?"

Chu Chen asked Er Gouzi.

"130 taels." Ergouzi looked at Chu Chen expectantly.

It was so cheap, but something didn't look right, so I looked at Ergouzi in confusion, waiting for his next words.

"More than 20 members of this family were killed by enemies, and then they were placed in a haunted house and haunted."

"Then why do you dare to live here?" Chu Chen asked doubtfully. In fact, he could accept the price no matter how high it was.

"If there were no benefactor, we would all die. If we are not afraid of death, how can we be afraid of ghosts?"

Ergouzi said with disdain, although he is not old, but in these years of life.

To them, ghosts are far less scary than hunger and cold, and besides, they don't believe in ghosts and gods.

"Okay, remember your choice."

After saying that, under the leadership of Ergouzi, he met the government officials who were selling the house.

Since the house no longer had an owner, the house was taken over by the government.

After paying 130 taels and completing the land deed documents, Chu Chen bought a property again.

As for the haunted house or something, he doesn't live in it himself, so no matter what, buying such a large piece of land for 130 taels is a profit.

Inside the house, more than 20 children were cleaning up the house.

For them, today is the happiest day, because Brother Gouzi said so.

A noble man provided them with a spacious and bright house, so they no longer had to live in that shack.

With the return of Chu Chen and Er Gouzi.

More than 20 people gathered around him instantly.

In an instant, a large number of people knelt down in front of Chu Chen, shouting benefactors.

"Jing Jing, everyone sees clearly, this is your benefactor, and from now on, he will be your godfather."

After Er Gouzi finished speaking, Chu Chen slapped him on the head.

"When the hell did I say I was going to be their godfather?"

Are you kidding me? I can't be the father of more than 20 people.

Er Gouzi was so stunned by Chu Chen's slap that he was adopted. What would he call him if he didn't call him godfather?

"Okay, don't listen to Ergouzi's nonsense. My surname is Chu. You can call me Mr. Chu from now on."

"Everyone, get up and stand before me."

Under Chu Chen's instructions, everyone stood up and lined up as required.

A total of 26 children stood in front of Chu Chen.

There were six girls and twenty boys, but they were all sallow and thin, with no clothes on their bodies, standing in the cold wind, shivering.

"Are any of you literate?" Chu Chen asked.

After asking, I realized that I had lost my composure. I was running away from home and didn’t even have enough to eat. How could I read?

"Er Gouzi, come here." After saying that, he handed him a pen and a notebook.

Then he ordered: "Record their names and ages."

In his opinion, Er Gouzi should be able to read. After all, he was also the son of a courier company before.

"Benefactor, they don't have names, please give them names." Ergouzi did not take the pen or notebook.

Instead, he looked at Chu Chen expectantly and said.

This gave Chu Chen a big headache. It was too difficult to choose a name.

So he thought for a moment and murmured: That's the only way, it saves trouble and is easy to remember.

"Er Gouzi, what's your name?"

"Please give me a name from my benefactor." For Ergouzi, it no longer matters what he is called. Originally, he was the only one in such a big family, so what else did he care about.

Damn it, these kids.

"Okay, from now on, your name is Chu Yi, and the others will follow in order. Do you understand?"

As a result, each of these children had their own name, from Chu 27 to Chu [-].

Each child recited his or her name silently in his heart, because from then on, they could live in this world as individuals again.

After reading all the names, 27 people knelt down towards Chu Chen and shouted "godfather" in unison.

It looked like Chu Chen had a big face.

He said sternly to the children: "Get up. Since everyone has followed me, from today on, you are all members of the Chu family gang. Then I will also tell you my rules."

"First, you don't need to kneel in front of me."

"Second, from now on, you will always call me Young Master. You are not allowed to call me godfather or benefactor."

"Third, I will give you a good life, but you also have your tasks. From now on, learn literacy and martial arts from Chu Yi."

After saying that, he turned to look at Er Gouzi, whose name should be Chu Yi now.

"This is 50 taels of silver, which is enough for you to buy clothes and daily necessities. I will come to see you after the Chinese New Year."

Chu Yi bowed deeply to Chu Chen: "Don't worry, young master, I will teach them well."

Chu Chen didn't say anything, turned around and left the house.

And Chu Chen's decision today will not know how much help it will provide him in the future.

After Chu Chen left, the crowd still didn't disperse because Er Gouzi was still talking.

"Brothers and sisters, you must remember that without the young master, we would not survive this winter. Therefore, our lives are given by the young master. You must remember."

"Chu Er, Chu San, Chu Si, go shopping with me. Others, continue cleaning."

After saying that, he held the 50 taels of silver and led the three of them towards the street.
