The in-laws burst into tears. They pooled together three thousand taels of silver and asked the black master to send the Huazi Army to help them fight off the refugee army. The black girl asked some more questions, and it turned out that the unmarried daughter of the in-laws was raped by the refugee army, and the little girl committed suicide out of hatred. "They used to only dare to rob women from ordinary families, but now they are becoming more and more courageous and have started targeting women from wealthy families, because this can force us to give them more money." The in-laws burst into tears and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the black girl. The black girl felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe. These beasts, even without these three thousand taels of silver, he would not let them go. On the Lantern Festival, the black girl ordered an army of ten thousand flowers. Each of them ate four glutinous rice balls and then set off to fight. The leader of the refugee army was beheaded in public, and the local gentry raised another thousand taels of silver as thanks. Hua Zijun became famous. In the next two months, the surrounding towns paid heavily to hire Hanazi troops, some to fight and some to guard houses.
"Gang leader, should we also give our armies nice names? Look at how majestic the Ran Army and the Jin Army sound." The black girl touched his still bald chin: "What's a good name for him?" The brothers in the gang all suggested various names. "We are sending troops in Yu, and we call them the Zhongzhou Army!" "The gang leader's surname is Hei, let's call him Hei Jun!" "Nonsense, our gang leader's surname is not Hei. His surname is Wan in his household registration, so he should be called Wan Jiajun!" "None of what you are talking about is majestic enough. In my opinion, let's just call it the Tiger Mighty Army!" …… The black girl didn't know what to call him anymore, so he wrote to He Ran and told He Ran the alternative name. When He Ran received the letter, he had just received news that King Jin had invaded Baoding Mansion. He Ran immediately sent He Xiulong's army to attack Datong, and Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao attacked Pingshan. Didn’t King Jin break into Baoding Mansion? Then just be that black blind guy who breaks the stick, breaking it off and dropping it at the same time. "Master, two people came to the gate and said they wanted to see you." Xiaoli trotted in. "Who is he?" He Ran asked. Just as Xiaoli was about to speak, Xiaoba flapped her wings and flew in, shouting loudly: "Familiar, familiar." He Ran asked it: "Which acquaintance?" Xiaoba: "An acquaintance is an acquaintance. If he looks familiar, he can't remember who he is." He Ran laughed, it turns out you don't know him either, he just looks familiar. Xiaoli said hurriedly: "A pair of siblings are here. The girl claims her surname is He. She says she is your sister and the boy is your brother." Xiaoli knew that the relationship between He Ran and the Zhending He family was not very good, so she did not let the siblings in. Instead, she asked He Ran first. If He Ran wanted to see him, then let them in. If He Ran didn't see him, she would let them in. , then drive them away.
He Ran was startled. No wonder Xiaoba said they looked familiar but couldn't remember who they were. Xiaoba saw those people in the He family in mid-air. At most, he had met them before. They looked familiar, but he didn't know who they were. Who could be the siblings at the door? Both the eldest brother and the second brother have siblings. He Shuyuan has died in prison. He Shuyun is protected by her parents and should still be in Zhending. Then the only one is He Shuting who is the eldest brother. Mr. He and Mrs. Yan both "disappeared", the old lady went south to Jinling, He Shuyuan also died, and the other three children born by Mr. Yan must be in a bad situation now. The news of He Shuyuan's death was sent by Lu Chang. When the news of the emperor's move to the capital came, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion was in chaos. The prisoners in the prison took the opportunity to riot and tried to escape. There were not enough yamen in the Yamen, so they hired guards. The army came to suppress them, and many prisoners died. Among them was He Shuyuan. She was more unlucky. She did not die under the knife of the guards, but was trampled to death by other prisoners. He Ran thought for a while and said to Xiaoli: "Take them to the shantang and let people pay attention to their behavior in the shantang." He Ran guessed correctly, the visitors were none other than He Shuting and He Shuqiao. After they left Zhending, they met a group of refugees not far away. Fortunately, these were just ordinary refugees, not a refugee army. Even so, the little money they had was still robbed. They walked for three full months from Zhending to Jinyang, begging as they walked. Finally, when they arrived in Jinyang, they found the administrative office and reported their identities, but He Ran did not see them. Xiaoli said to He Shuting: "If you two have nowhere to stay, I will send you to the shantang. The shantang is very safe. Children under the age of twelve are provided with food and accommodation, and they can also study in the shantang. Those who are in good health can work in the charity to support themselves. There are many jobs suitable for girls in the charity, so you should be able to do it." He Shuting nodded in agreement without hesitation. Nothing is more important right now than a safe place to live. And my younger brother can continue to study. Seeing how happily she agreed, Xiaoli became more fond of her and sent them to the shantang in person. There are now three such charity halls in Jinyang City, which are dedicated to taking in elderly people, women and children who have become homeless due to the war. He Shuqiao was less than twelve years old. They were provided with food and accommodation in the dining hall, and a scholar taught them how to read and write. The charity will also provide some jobs to the children's ability. He Shuqiao saw several children peeling peanuts. The peeled peanuts will be sent to the restaurant's kitchen, and the children will be paid a few copper coins. He Shuqiao felt that he could do such a job. He now knew that making money was not easy. He could buy a bun for two cents. A child just told him that he had saved fifteen copper coins by peeling peanuts. He Shuqiao was filled with envy. Fifteen copper coins was a lot of money for the boss. He Shuting also found a suitable job. She was good at needlework. Shantang took a lot of needlework from the embroidery workshop and gave it to the girls who were good at needlework. She embroidered a small flower on the spot and was responsible for it. The mother-in-law was very satisfied and gave her two pieces of cloth and asked her to embroider the handkerchief. When He Shuqiao learned that his sister could get fifteen coppers for embroidering a handkerchief, he was so envious that he was speechless. He soon discovered that there was a job of copying books in the charity hall, which made more money. He went to apply for the job and wrote a few words. The uncle in charge was not satisfied and asked him to study first and write the words well before applying for the job. This works. He Shuqiao was very embarrassed, but he soon became happy because he found that there were comic books in the charity hall, and there were some that he had not read. As long as you fill in your name on the library card, you can read the comic books in the charity hall for free, and no other children will compete with him. In addition, they can really fill their stomachs. Although they eat whole grains and meat only once every ten days, it is much better than the days after they left Zhending. They are very satisfied. The siblings quickly adapted to life in the shantang.
