I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

The method Cheng Jingwei said was indeed good, but Luo Shixing was not without worries, he hesitated: "Those people were all exiled here, will the local people let them go?"

Cheng Jingwei explained: "Even if you are exiled, you will only need to do hard labor for the first year, and then you will be a free man. Why don't you let him go?"

Luo Shixing was a little surprised: "Then why did you say to buy it?"

If you are a free person, how can you buy it?

Cheng Jing smiled and said, "The reason for the purchase is to give those people some food or something to let them follow us, but it's not just to sell them into slavery."

Luo Shixing understood, simply speaking, he was fooling these people into doing things for him, but why did they believe you?Then give them certain benefits, and they will be willing to come for these benefits.

He stroked his chin and asked, "Then... the exiled people were originally pampered. What we need are people who can work. Can they do it?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "You haven't done anything before, haven't you done well since you came here?"

Luo Shixing said that it was different. He had an adult soul anyway, and the most important thing was that he had enough knowledge. Before he passed through, he was just an ordinary citizen without so much psychological burden. Even if he was a farmer, he would not feel lost. Of course, it can be done, but the scholar-bureaucrats are different at this time.

If you have to make an analogy, it is probably the Kochi of later generations, and even Kochi may not be able to compare with the psychological superiority of these people.

Look at the parents of the Xue family brothers and the Xiao family siblings, aren't they all unsuited to the environment here, are they all gone?

Although these are all his mental activities, Cheng Jingwei knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he continued to explain: "Don't worry, we are looking for those who have served hard labor, even if they really didn't know anything before. No, after a year of hard labor, everyone who should be able to do so should also be able to do so."

When Luo Shixing heard that this made some sense, he simply said: "Let Xue Yuansi ask Wei Weng later, and first look for it in Beidai County and the villages and towns under its jurisdiction. After all, it is more convenient here. If there is no other place here .”

When he said this, he actually didn't have much hope, because the geographical location here is too remote, the transportation is not convenient, and there are very few people who will be exiled here.

What he didn't expect was that Xue Yuansi was sent there the next day, and five people were brought back to him that day, but these five people didn't seem to meet his requirements.

These five people could tell by their appearance that they were Han Chinese, and they were all very young, even young. It is said that the eldest was only 16 years old, and the remaining two boys and two girls were his younger siblings.

The younger brothers are 15 and 13 years old, and the younger sisters are 14 and [-] years old.

To say that the average age is still relatively old, especially the oldest one is obviously much more mature.

The clothes they were wearing were not very good, even the boys were a bit disheveled, but the girls were better, it was just that they were wearing the clothes of the brothers, which were very loose.

The oldest boy was a little embarrassed, but he still bowed his hands to Luo Shixing and said, "Wei Ziyao from Qizhou has seen the high priest."

Luo Shixing looked at the group of five people who didn't react for a while, nodded and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

He turned to Xue Yuansi and asked, "What's going on?"

He just asked Xue Yuansi to go over and ask if there was any suitable person, why did he bring such a series of events?

Especially in this series, the two older boys who have enough labor force are probably the two older boys. Even if the remaining two are able to work, he will be condemned by conscience if he uses it. Isn't this hiring child labor?

The situations of Xue family brothers and Xiao family brothers and sisters are different. He is looking for someone to farm the land.

Xue Yuansi scratched his head and said, "When I went, Wei Weng was worrying about these few people. I saw them pitiful, so I couldn't hold back...I brought them all back."

When he said the latter sentence, Xue Yuansi's voice became smaller and smaller. He also felt that it was not good for him to say hello like this, but... he really felt that these people were too pitiful, they looked younger than their brothers or the Xiao family siblings. Still look pitiful.

Cheng Jingwei asked coldly, "Poor? Who is not pitiful now? Before you bring someone back, you should ask first."

Luo Shixing saw that the five children all looked anxious, the younger ones had red eyes, and the older ones seemed to want to say something but were afraid of Cheng Jingwei's momentum and dared not speak.

He sighed and asked, "So what's going on? What about their parents and elders?"

Luo Shixing originally thought that these two parents died again, but he didn't say, is this place overpowering their parents?How come all the people who are exiled here are how many children are left behind by the death of their parents?

Knowing that Luo Shixing was the most soft-hearted, Xue Yuansi quickly explained, "Their parents have run away."

"Huh?" Luo Shixing was slightly taken aback: "Run away?"

He turned to look at Wei Ziyao and asked, "What's going on?"

Wei Ziyao said with a wry smile: "During the rainy season this year, a heavy rain washed away our house. Although the house is not big, it was built with the money our family saved for a long time. Now it has collapsed and we want to rebuild it." Gai was afraid that they would have to save again, maybe my parents felt that we were burdening them too much, so after confirming that the original house could not be lived in, they left one day in the name of going out to work, and never came back.”

Luo Shixing was stunned when he heard this, feeling that he had been ruining the Three Views ever since he arrived in Beidai County.

Han people generally pay attention to the fact that tigers are poisonous and do not eat their children, and they will not give up their children no matter how difficult it is.

Although there have been situations where children have to eat during times of calamity, Luo Shixing has never seen it with his own eyes. All he has seen are those who would rather die than let their children suffer any harm, especially for mothers.

And this family... It is indeed a devastating blow to have the house washed down by the heavy rain, but they still have the ability to work. They should not starve to death, and the children are so old that they can do something. In the end, the parents just ran away. People can't understand.

Cheng Jingwei obviously didn't expect this to happen, and couldn't help but ask, "How have you guys spent the past half a year?"

Wei Ziyao said: "Erlang and I will help each family fetch water and firewood to earn some food, and the brothers and sisters will go to the woods to find food."

It’s just that going on like this is not a solution. Not every day someone needs to fetch water or firewood. Most people in Beidai County are relatively poor, and they are not so short of water. Why let him fetch water?

As for chopping firewood, it's not that inconvenient. Simply put, their brother's job is only occasionally.

That is to say, there is food in the woods so that they don't starve to death, but they can't get enough to eat. Their ability to find things is limited, and the woods are not so safe.

People like Luo Shixing who have not been injured in the jungle are different, but even Luo Shixing has encountered wild boars and various snakes, rats, insects and ants.

This kind of life can be said to be without any hope. They are homeless, and they may not even survive the next year's rainy season.

But they can’t find a way out. Even if they want to ask for help, no one will help them. It’s good for the locals to ignore them. More often than not, they will be bullied by local children. of.

This time I found the county government office because I heard that the staff of the county magistrate are exiled Han Chinese. They were exiled in a village a little farther from the county seat. It was a little late to get the news, especially since he only recently understood what the locals said. The words, I heard one ear when those people were discussing.

Now that Wei Ziyao has nowhere to go, he wants to come here to try his luck.

I hope that the other party can help them because they are all of the same race, even if they can't help them, they can give them a clear way.

I don't know if it's because they are extremely happy. After arriving there, Wei Siwen had no good way to help them.

Wei Siwen relied on Alezhen for his clothes and food, but now Luo Shixing's family was stronger than him, and he was powerless to help these children, especially since these children were not young, but their education levels were not high. It is very high, at most it can recognize a few words.

It happened that Xue Yuansi went over, and when Wei Siwen saw him, he remembered the scene where Luo Shixing took those children away at the market.

Obviously not tall, but inexplicably makes people feel very reliable.

If it was the lynx catkin, these children should be taken in, right?

Wei Siwen simply asked Xue Yuansi to bring Wei Ziyao and the others over. After hearing this, Xue Yuansi felt a little sympathetic to these people, and even seemed to feel pity for each other, so he readily agreed.

Luo Shixing also felt that it was not easy for these children after hearing the cause and effect. They really worked very hard to survive.

When I heard that what Wei Ziyao got from filling a tank of water for others was just a few mushrooms, maybe even a few wild fruits, and he would not even give him food, I was already very angry.

It's just that he didn't show it on the surface. They can't show hostility to the Ouluo tribe now, otherwise things will easily happen.

When Luo Shixing tried to restrain himself, he usually showed a deadpan face so as not to show his emotions.

This made Wei Ziyao misunderstand that he might not want to take in himself and his siblings. Thinking of what Xue Yuan said to him, Wei Ziyao immediately said: "I can work, my brothers and sisters can work."

The slightly older girl also immediately said: "Yes, we can wash and cook, we can do everything."

She looked at her brother, then at Luo Shixing and gritted her teeth with Cheng Jingwei and said, "We can have children, please don't drive us away."

It was difficult for Luo Shixing to describe how he felt when he heard these words. He also once thought that he had nowhere to go.

However, it doesn't seem that serious compared to these people now.

It was the first time for him to encounter a girl who used her fertility as a bargaining chip in order to survive.

This shitty world.

Luo Shixing swallowed this swear word abruptly, and asked, "Can I endure hardship? I need someone to help me plant the land now."

Wei Ziyao immediately said: "Yes, my mother and I planted it in our hometown before, and Erlang will do it too! I... I will teach them all too."

Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Isn't your father an official? Why are you still farming?"

Wei Ziyao said with a wry smile: "My father was a county magistrate at the beginning. The county was still very poor and had no money. In order to maintain expenses, my mother took us to stay in the hometown to farm. Later... Yangzhou rebelled, my father He was implicated and exiled here."

Luo Shixing: ...

Now he really wants to scold Li Jingye again, but thinking about his father's accomplice, if he scolds Li Jingye, he might scold his father too, so he can only swallow it hard.

Wei Ziyao was also a little apprehensive when he said it. He knew Luo Shixing's identity, and he was very worried that bringing up the Yangzhou rebellion would make him unhappy.

But he had to say that he needed to make the other party trust him.

Luo Shixing resisted the urge to scold, sighed and said: "Then stay here, there are plenty of houses, young gentlemen live on the first floor, and young ladies live on the second floor. Oh, Ah Li is young and needs her sister to take care of her. For the time being Live on the second floor, and he will move down when he grows up."

Wei Ziyao's eyes turned red immediately, and he led his brothers and sisters to kneel and kowtow, weeping uncontrollably.
