"Little Nana, Zhen'er, Little Mudcat...you're all here?"
Huang Bairong looked at the girls in front of him and called out their names excitedly.
After seeing Huang Bairong, these girls happily called him "Master Huang".
It was obvious that Huang Bairong was very familiar with the girls in front of him.
"Ms. Lu, let me introduce them to you. They are the girls from the dyeing workshop in Qingyang Town!"
Huang Bairong knew that Lu Fan didn't know him, so he quickly introduced him.
"Dyeing workshop?"
Lu Fan was stunned.
"Yes! The dyeing workshop is the largest workshop within a hundred miles of Qingyang Town, and they have been working there since they were young."
After listening to Huang Bairong, Lu Fan finally understood.
It turned out that these poor girls had to escape from the dyeing workshop because bandits entered the city.
In order to survive, they hid from place to place to avoid the bandits.
I just didn't expect to meet Lu Fan here today.
at the same time,
Lu Fan also learned from Huang Bairong that the dyeing workshop in Qingyang Town was very large, and the more than one hundred girls in front of him were sold to the dyeing workshop to do hard labor since they were poor families...
Huang Bairong used to feel sorry for these girls and would often give them some food and drink, so these girls were very grateful to Huang Bairong.
"Little Nana, how long have you been escaping?" Huang Bairong asked the round-faced girl who was leading the group.
"Replying to Mr. Huang, we have escaped for three days!" replied the round-faced girl.
"Have you been wandering outside?"
"Yes..."
As the round-faced girl spoke, her eyes turned slightly red.
Huang Bairong also felt sorry for these girls. After all, he had watched these children from poor families grow up.
Seeing these more than one hundred girls, helpless and wandering around, Huang Bairong felt a little uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Huang Bairong turned and looked at Lu Fan.
"Young Noble Lu...can I ask you for a favor?"
Lu Fan said, "You want me to take them in, right?"
Huang Bairong didn't expect Lu Fan to guess what he was asking for so quickly. He said awkwardly,
"My apologies, Little Noble Lu! I know it's difficult for you to take them in in these troubled times! But these girls are truly pitiful, and their parents sold them into labor since they were young... So I'd like to beg you, Little Noble, to give them a temporary way out."
Lu Fan didn't say anything, but looked up at the more than a hundred girls in front of him.
All the girls were wearing patched and tattered clothes.
There were also a few young ones who were pale and thin, and had sores on their faces due to the cold.
Facing Lu Fan's gaze, the girls huddled together timidly.
"Okay! I can take them in temporarily!"
Finally, Lu Fan spoke.
"Really, my dear? Thank you so much!"
Huang Bairong was immediately happy when he heard that Lu Fan agreed to take him in.
"Little Nana, Zhen'er, Little Mud Eel... why don't you kneel down quickly to thank Young Noble Lu?" Huang Bairong quickly said to the girls.
More than a hundred poor girls quickly knelt down and expressed their gratitude to Lu Fan.
Looking at these girls, Lu Fan smiled.
originally.
Lu Fan didn't want to take them in, but when he thought about the evil things done by the bandits in Qingyang Town, Lu Fan's conscience finally overcame his reason!
He knew better than anyone that if he really gave up on these girls, they would suffer a very miserable fate.
Besides, Lu Fan is not short of food now.
If I bring these hundred girls back, at most I can arrange for them to work on the farm for me, which won't be a loss for me.
More than a hundred girls followed Lu Fan to the City God Temple.
In the afternoon.
Lu Fan came back with his men.
When the ten-foot-high mountain wall appeared halfway up the mountain of the City God Temple, Huang Bairong was the first to widen his eyes.
"Little Noble Lady Lu...you actually live here?"
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Yes! Come on, follow me up the mountain."
After saying that, Lu Fan led everyone up the mountain.
Looking at the wall that surrounded the entire mountainside and the towering manor, Huang Bairong was completely shocked.
He had always thought that Lu Fan lived in a rural area.
But he never expected that the entire mountain in front of him belonged to Lu Fan.
They followed Lu Fan and a large group of people to the foot of the mountain wall, only to see that the patrolling labor guards discovered them.
At first glance, the guards thought these people were refugees and ran out with swords in hand.
"Who are you to dare to trespass into our young master's territory?"
Faced with a dozen guards with knives, Huang Bairong and more than a hundred poor girls were suddenly frightened.
Just then, Lu Fan walked out of the crowd.
"I brought them here."
ah?
"Young Master?"
When the laborers saw Lu Fan, they all cried out in surprise.
Huang Bairong and more than a hundred poor girls behind him were once again stunned when they heard the laborers calling Lu Fan "little master".
"Okay, open the gate and let them in!" Lu Fan said to the guards and laborers.
"Yes, yes!"
Then the hard-working guards hurriedly opened the gate and shouted into the manor, "The young master is back! The young master is back!"
After the hard-working guard shouted, Wang Dayong, Dong Wu, and everyone else ran out.
After seeing Lu Fan, they all respectfully called him: Young Master.
Huang Bairong was completely shocked by this scene.
He never dreamed that this magnificent manor and this hill in front of him actually all belonged to Lu Fan.
The most amazing thing is that these two or three hundred people in front of him all call Lu Fan "Little Master".
"Hey, Lu kid, who are these people?"
Dong Wu now glanced at Huang Bairong and the more than one hundred poor girls behind him and asked curiously.
"This is Shopkeeper Huang from Qingyang Town! As for them? They are also poor people from Qingyang Town." Lu Fan gave a brief introduction.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Dong Wu was a chivalrous person, and when he saw Lu Fan bringing back so many people at once, he couldn't help but feel moved.
While the two were talking, a figure suddenly ran out from the crowd.
"Daddy, is that you?"
With a shout, Huang Xiao'e ran out from the crowd in tears.
The moment Huang Bairong saw his daughter, his eyes became moist and he quickly hugged his daughter: "My daughter, it's me!"
"Daddy, you finally escaped. That's great. Woohoo, I thought I'd never see you again!"
Huang Xiao'e threw herself into Huang Bairong's arms and said.
"Silly child, Daddy is fine now!"
Looking at the reunion of father and daughter, a smile appeared on Lu Fan's face.
