Huang Xiao'e in the crowd also burst into tears after recognizing Lu Fan.
This made Dong Wu and the others beside him stunned.
"Lu boy, do you know this girl?"
Dong Wu asked curiously.
"Of course! Come on, please ask her in!"
Lu Fan has always been grateful to Huang Bairong.
After all, I have come this far step by step, and a lot of it is thanks to Huang Bairong.
Now seeing Huang Xiao'e appear here with these fleeing women, Lu Fan was extremely shocked.
soon.
Huang Xiao'e was invited to the Lu family manor.
As for the other women, Lu Fan asked Dong Wu to temporarily place them outside.
In the living room.
Huang Xiao'e sat there with a stiff look on her face.
No one would have thought that this former pawnshop lady would have fallen to such a state.
She was carrying a package and wiping away her tears.
"Miss Huang, why are you here? And where is your father?"
Lu Fan walked over and asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Fan opened his mouth, Huang Xiaoe burst into tears.
She cried and said, "My dear little sir...my father has been kidnapped!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan's face turned cold and he quickly asked, "Who took him away?"
Huang Xiao'e then told the whole story.
turn out to be.
A few days ago, a group of hundreds of bandits rushed into Qingyang Town. After arriving in Qingyang Town, they began to burn, kill and loot.
Although Qingyang Town is a large town, it has no armed defense.
So in less than a day, the entire Qingyang Town fell.
Not only that, even the magistrate of Qingyang Town was killed.
What's even worse is that those bandits not only burned, killed and looted, but also arrested people everywhere.
Huang Bairong's pawnshop was not spared either. After being rushed in by dozens of bandits, they not only robbed all the money and food in Huang's pawnshop, but also captured his father Huang Bairong.
"As for me... it was Daddy who let me escape from the secret passage so quickly to protect me! Otherwise, I would have been captured by those bandits by now! Wuuwuwu!"
Huang Xiao'e cried and told Lu Fan everything.
Lu Fan was shocked when he heard that.
For the past ten days, he has been practicing in the underground cave of the City God Temple!
I had no idea that such a big thing had happened in Qingyang Town!
Thinking that Qingyang Town in front of him had been completely occupied by bandits, Lu Fan's face turned ugly.
"Little Noble Lu, please, please save my father! I kowtow to you!"
As Huang Xiao'e spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan quickly helped her up and said, "Don't be polite, Miss Huang! Don't worry, I will do my best to save your father! But I need to understand the situation in Qingyang Town first!"
"Thank you, my dear..."
Seeing that Lu Fan was willing to help, Huang Xiaoe was so moved that tears flowed down her face again.
Looking at the former eldest daughter of the Huang family, who has now become like this, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After instructing the servants to settle Huang Xiao'e first, Lu Fan went outside.
Outside the manor.
More than forty women who escaped from Qingyang Town gathered together trembling with fear.
Their home is gone...
All the relatives at home were killed by the bandits...
The only thing I can think of now is to find a shelter and survive...
Seeing Lu Fan coming out, everyone's eyes were filled with pleading and longing.
"Young Master, what should we do with these women? Should we... drive them away?"
Wang Dayong asked behind him at this time.
After Wang Dayong asked this question, the other laborers also looked at Lu Fan's face, waiting for his reply.
In this chaotic world, if Lu Fan really doesn't take these women in, they will surely die, and may even be abused and insulted by the bandits. Thinking of this, the laborers feel uncomfortable.
But if we just take him in casually, it doesn't seem appropriate.
After all, Lu Fan is not running a charity, so how could he just take in so many people?
Lu Fan looked up at the more than forty women in luxurious clothes.
Then, he said calmly: "Do you really want to stay with me?"
"Yes, good sir!"
"Please, sir, please take us in. As long as you are willing to take us in and protect us, we are willing to do anything!"
"Yes, yes."
These women have been completely frightened by the gangsters.
Their scalps tingled when they thought of those brutal bandits burning, killing, looting, and even throwing babies and women into frying pans.
"Since you are pitiful, I can take you in and protect you..."
Hearing that Lu Fan wanted to take them in, the women instantly became happy and kowtowed to him one by one, saying, "Thank you, kind sir... Thank you!"
"Don't be so quick to thank me! Although I can take you in and protect you, I have conditions!"
When the women saw Lu Fan was going to put forward conditions, they were all stunned.
"I'm sure you all know that there are countless people dying of starvation and freezing in this world these days! Besides, this isn't a charity, so I can't provide you with free food and drink. Don't you agree?"
Hearing what Lu Fan said, the women nodded silently one by one. After all, Lu Fan was telling the truth.
"Kind master, tell me, what exactly do you want us to take you in?"
A wealthy-looking woman with a gold bracelet on her wrist stood up and asked.
Lu Fan smiled slightly: "My request is very simple! Take the money!"
money?
Hearing this, all the women were stunned.
"Yes!"
"Although you all escaped from Qingyang Town, your wealth and fortune are far greater than those who starved or froze to death! Now that you want me to protect you, you must show some sincerity. Otherwise, how could I possibly provide you with food and drink for no reason? And protect you at the same time?"
After hearing what Lu Fan said, the women who escaped from Qingyang Town also felt that what Lu Fan said made sense.
You can't just take Lu Fan for free just because you feel sorry for yourself, right?
Lu Fan is not their parent!
After a moment's thought, the better-looking woman asked, "How much silver would you like us to bring, sir?"
Hearing this, Lu Fan smiled and said, "It's very simple. It depends on how long you stay here!"
"How long will it take?" The women were stunned.
"That's right! I only charge one or two taels of silver a day! If you want to stay on a monthly basis, I can give you a discount!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
What?
"One ounce of silver a day?"
"Even if I stayed at an inn in Qingyang Town before, it only cost a few dozen coins a day!"
When the women heard this, they all sighed.
Lu Fan heard them say this and said, "Please understand, although living with me and eating and drinking isn't expensive, don't forget that I can guarantee your lives! If you feel your life is not worth a tael of silver a day, you can leave at any time."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the women shut their mouths instantly.
yes!
Compared to staying alive, what is money?
If they were really caught by those bandits, they would not only steal all their belongings, but they would even torture them to death.
Thinking of this, the women who escaped from Qingyang Town were suddenly relieved.
I haven't seen such a shameless fellow who has come thus far and hasn't written a review.
