"How do you plan to place these children in the future? They must learn the ability to settle down, or they must find a good home. Otherwise, you put them under your own wings like this, and when they leave you in the future, they may not know how to deal with themselves."
Taohuahong smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they are much more mature than ordinary children. Give them a period of adaptation, and they can be like her." She said, pointing at Ao Ling'er who was guarding Rick. Kris's eyes flashed over Ao Ling'er's face, and finally fell on the girls who were still sleeping, and nodded. Then her clear eyes moved on Taohuahong's face, and said in an almost admirable tone: "You have a holy heart, nobler than anyone else."
Taohuahong closed her eyes and two tears fell down her cheeks. At this moment, no one knew what she was thinking, and Chris didn't know either.
The morning light passed through the low houses of the slums and penetrated through the holes in the roof of the church, and a new day came.
Rick slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed inside. Ao Ling'er said in surprise: "Brother Ji, are you okay?"
Rick smiled and said, "I'm fine, it seems that my true energy has improved."
Chris helped him up, tidy up his clothes, and said, "The young master's recovery was beyond my expectations. It seems that his progress in actual combat is indeed far from comparable to normal training."
Rick nodded and said, "I feel this way too. Now I feel full of strength. It seems that I have to thank those enemies last night."
Chris and Ao Ling'er both laughed, and even the peach blossom red on one side showed a smile. At this moment, a Ningfu Shenwei led Long Lan in from outside. Long Lan reported to Rick: "Young Master. We brought a few carriages here, but the road here is too narrow and the carriages cannot be driven in."
Rick asked in confusion: "What are you doing with so many carriages?"
Long Lan was slightly stunned and said, "Young Master, aren't you going to place all these children in the Duke's Mansion?"
Rick patted his forehead, his head was confused and he didn't react for a moment. Yulu walked over at the right time and said, "Young master, Sister Qin has agreed. But--"
"But what?"
"She said that she could not be responsible for the safety of these children. In the future, once the young master left, the Duke's Mansion would have almost no defense. Moreover, the Duke's Mansion was also attacked by a group of white men last night. If the Shenwei sister had not discovered it in time, they would have started a massacre. If so many children were still taken care of, there would be a problem with safety."
Rick thought about it, pondered for a moment, and said, "I think this matter can only be solved from two aspects. One is to organize the defense force of the Duke's Mansion as soon as possible; the other hand, let these children learn some self-defense skills." After saying that, he turned to Taohuahong and asked, "You have the most say in this matter. If you think my way of handling it is inappropriate, please raise it now."
Taohuahong smiled slightly and said, "Many children want to learn kung fu. Unfortunately, they have never met someone who is willing to teach them. It's best to deal with it like this."
Rick smiled and said, "Don't say it too early. In order to enable them to have the ability to defend themselves as soon as possible, I will ask them to do some special training. That's not something that ordinary people can afford."
Taohuahong glanced at Chris and said, "I said, give them a time to adapt, and they will do better than anyone else."
Rick clapped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I'll let go. Okay, while it's still early, hurry up and clean up. So many of us come out together, it's so ostentatious."
Just as Rick took the girls out of the slum, a sedan chair hurried into the slum under the escort of eight big sword men. They were heading in the same direction as Rick, and Rick headed north, and they also headed north, but they came from the south, so although the direction was the same, it was still a distance from Rick and his group, and they did not come for Rick, because they turned east as soon as they entered the slum.
The sedan chair was parked in front of a low thatched hut, and four of the eight great men immediately dispersed and went to guard the crowd. Then a woman in yellow dressed in a sedan chair walked out of the sedan chair. She looked around for a moment and then walked straight into the open door of the hut.
At the first glance outside, there was only one room in front and one room in front of the hut. In fact, there were three rooms in total. Each of the two places in the back had two single rooms, which was rare in slums. The woman in yellow brought four big men with swords to the door and walked to the third entry of the hut and said, "Search it here, I don't believe he can hide under the ground." The four big men should shout, drew their swords and walked in. After a moment, the sound of various things being broken came from inside. The lady in yellow stood outside the house with a cold face, and behind her was a little behind. The deep well with a lid on her mouth. She frowned from time to time, as if she didn't have much hope for the search of her subordinates. After nearly two cups of tea, she recalled four subordinates and asked them to search in front, but her eyes were wandering around. When her eyes fell on the deep well, she seemed to have some doubts, but strangely, she did not look at it, but turned around and led the four subordinates to the front. After nearly half an hour of this, all kinds of sounds gradually faded away and they had already left.
The lid on the deep well was suddenly pushed away from the inside. An old man with a sloppy head and a sloppy man crawled out from the inside with his hands and feet. He looked around and confirmed that there was no one. He walked to the corner of the wall, knocked on a wooden board on the wall a few times, and then carefully pushed the board in. After a strange sound, the board automatically retreated, revealing a small downward hole on the wall. He reached in, and didn't know what he had taken, and immediately put it in his arms. At this moment, the voice of a woman in yellow came from ten steps behind: "Old ghost, I'll hide here, now hand over the things obediently, otherwise--"
The old man did not turn around, but instead jumped forward quickly, and waved his hand to all sides. Dozens of granular objects flew out and hit the ground, and immediately burst into thick smoke. The woman in yellow screamed: "Old ghost, you can't escape, everyone on all sides are mine." But the old man did not answer, but stuck to the corner of the wall and kept motionless, allowing the big man hiding outside to grop in the thick fog. After a while, he carefully touched two small pieces of soil from the ground and hit it out with a special method. The pieces of soil were flying in the air in an arc. When they flew through a certain distance, they suddenly made a sound and accelerated to fly forward. "Ba--Ba--" With a strange sound, several figures flew towards the source of sound, and the old man looked at this opportunity and jumped out of the encirclement of the big men and ran away. The woman in yellow was not stupid. Almost at the same time, she asked her subordinates to notice that the old man might escape in the opposite direction. However, when people searched for things, they had an instinct. Once he found movement, they would instinctively go to observe. When the big men heard the warning of the woman in yellow, their bodies had already rushed towards the source of sound. Although they stopped their reckless actions in time, the delay for this moment was enough for the old man to escape. The woman in yellow did not give up. At the command, she ignored the sedan chair and chased after her first.
The sword servants carefully arranged the children to get on the carriage, and Rick and Taohuahong stood aside to help. But obviously they couldn't help, because the girls saw the beautiful carriage, and before the sword servants could greet them, they had already rushed in in groups like monkeys going up the mountain. Rick and Taohuahong could only smile bitterly. Taking advantage of this short time, Rick invited Taohuahong to the side and asked, "Don't you go back to Fanghua Building to pack up?"
Taohuahong shook her head and said, "There is nothing to clean up, I will take all the things I should take with me. When you come to Fanghua Tower, I feel that I should leave there. Fortunately, every girl in Fanghua Tower is free and can leave at any time."
It was probably the first time that Rick heard of such a brothel, and he couldn't help but feel curious. He wanted to ask clearly, but he was afraid that Taohuahong would think he was despising him, so he had to give up. Just as Rick and Taohuahong were about to go back, a mouse-headed old man rushed out of the Hengla, and while fleeing, he shouted: "Robbers are killing people! Robbers are killing people!"
The old man probably just saw Rick, and he had no time to pay attention. However, as soon as he saw the carriage, his speed increased sharply. Regardless of who the carriage belonged, he crawled into the middle and squirted in with a "whoosh". The sword servants didn't have time to stop him, and actually let him get into the pile of children. This was a big fuss. Perhaps the old man had a problem with his posture, so the girls immediately fisted and kicked the uninvited guest out, but the old man refused to go out. Until a sword servant leaned in and stopped the children's behavior, he put his hands on his head and said, "I was chased by bad people all the way. Please let me hide. In the future, even if I go to hell, I will bless the girl in hell to find a good man, and I will grow old together, prolong my life, and have hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren."
The sword servant felt soft. It was not because of his flattery words, but because he saw that he was so miserable at such a long time, so he stopped rushing him and turned around and got out of the car. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Rick and several god guards stopping a charming woman in yellow and her squad, and the two sides were in a dispute.
The woman in yellow insisted that the person she was chasing was in the carriage, but Rick asked her if she was a man in the government. He did not show her identity. In fact, it was not appropriate to show her identity here. The woman in yellow said with a cold face: "This young master, I advise you to hand him over as soon as possible to avoid harming the harmony."
Rick smiled and said, "If you can give a reasonable reason, I will be responsible for handing him over to you. But if you can't say it, please give way, I still have urgent matters to do."
