"Why are there only two, four, six, eighty and one, three, five, seventy-nine?"
The boy asked curiously.
"One, three, five, seven, nine, of course I have to stay and protect my wife." Jun Lingyun blurted out.
Bai Xiao snorted and hurriedly covered his mouth to suppress his laughter. The master must have been busy these past few days and was too bored, so he changed his temper and started chatting with a group of children.
"What about him?" Bai Xiao successfully attracted the attention of the boy next to him.
Jun Lingyun straightened his expression.
"If any of you can stand beside me like Bai Xiao in the future, you will have a name as unique as his."
Bai Xiao, who was still watching the excitement, suddenly burst into tears when he heard Jun Lingyun's words.
It turns out that his position in the master's heart is so unique! He also suspected that the master had a new man, which was really inappropriate.
Bai Xiao couldn't help but straighten his chest, accepting the envious looks of the attendants and children. He expressed his sincerity at the same time.
"Being able to follow my master is the greatest honor of Bai Xiao's life. Bai Xiao thanks his master for the name!"
Jun Lingyun held his forehead, and suddenly felt like he shot himself in the foot. Why did his personal bodyguard act silly from time to time?
"I would like to be called Sanhu!"
The youngest child shouted loudly and puffed up his little chest. This was a name given to him by a big shot.
The children all understood one thing at this time, that is, the person in front of them who gave them food and drink was a big shot, a big shot worthy of their lifelong struggle to get close to him.
The young man took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowed, and the other children followed suit.
"Please sir, give us justice so that we can live an honest life."
Jun Lingyun reached out to help the boy up, and several other children were also helped up by the attendants.
"Put those corpses with frightening hangings into the ground. You won't need these anymore."
Jun Lingyun looked around, how could ordinary people imagine that a group of children were struggling for a living among the dead.
The young man lowered his head in shame. He had no choice but to hang up the unclaimed corpses to create the illusion that the dark forest was haunted, so that others would not dare to come here in order to protect these orphans.
The older children, together with the attendants, held torches and went to dig holes to bury people.
Sanhu saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he secretly stretched out his little hand, took a piece of pancake left by everyone, and stuffed it into his clothes.
Jun Lingyun waved to him helplessly again, making Sanhu tremble.
"Sanhu, I will teach you two sentences today. You must remember them firmly. First, taking without asking is considered stealing. Second, do not do evil for small things. If you are not full, you can eat more.
Eat freely because I have given you permission."
Sanhu's little face turned red.
"I-I want to give it to my sisters to eat. A few girls didn't come over. They must be hungry too."
Jun Lingyun felt soft, but she still taught him:
"If you explain the situation and ask me, you will get more than what you stole. A man should walk upright and sit upright, do you understand?"
Jun Lingyun waved his hand, and the attendant carried a baggage on his back and led Sanhu, "Let's go find those girls."
Sanhu recognized this package. Everything they ate was taken from this package, and he immediately bowed to Jun Lingyun happily.
"Thank you, sir."
He still doesn't fully understand the words, but as he grows up, he realizes the deeper meaning. He is even more grateful to Jun Lingyun for being willing to teach this unrelated child a few words of kindness.
The attendants dug a big pit and buried the withered corpses.
The young man led all the children and knelt down in front of the grave and kowtowed.
"I'm sorry for blaspheming you. Now you are buried in peace. Please forgive us for our mistakes."
Bai Xiao looked at Jun Lingyun. He knew that the reason why the master let these children bury the bodies together was to let them let go of the past. They still have a long life.
The master is such a cold-faced and kind-hearted person.
After the children had finished venting their emotions, they took Jun Lingyun and others to their usual residence, which was nothing more than a cave covered by weeds.
It was covered with dead leaves and some rags as quilts. A few wild fruits were scattered on a flatter stone.
There was a little girl who kept coughing, and several other girls were taking care of her. It was obvious that she was seriously ill.
Fortunately, Sanhu reported the news in advance, and they all knew that good people were coming to rescue them. When they saw Jun Lingyun and others coming, they were not too scared, but just a little embarrassed.
Jun Lingyun took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Bai Xiao, indicating that he should give it to the sick child.
Chu Yunxi prepared this for him, and he always carried it with him.
"Be good, take the medicine and you'll be fine."
Bai Xiao touched the child's head, his nose was a little sore, and he hated Jun Hongyan and his gang.
"Ahem, thank you, big brother."
Although this child is small, he is very polite.
Bai Xiao smiled at her, took off the water bottle from his waist, fed the child some medicine, and then stood up and counted. There were eight boys and four girls crowded in this small cave, a total of twelve children.
.
I don’t know how many days I have been crowded in this small cave.
The cave was small, so Jun Lingyun and others settled outside the cave to watch over the children for the night.
The children were on tenterhooks all day long, fearing that they would be arrested by the authorities and disappear without a trace. It was rare to have such a peaceful sleep.
As soon as there was a hint of light in the sky, Jun Lingyun and others had already stood up, packed their things, and were ready to set off.
The other children were still sleeping, but the boy was the only one who was alert and got up early.
"Are you leaving?"
He was afraid that the promises made by Jun Lingyun and his party last night would turn out to be empty words.
Jun Lingyun looked at several attendants.
"The second and fourth sons will stay here, settle these children, and then check the whereabouts of the other orphans."
But these two servants were in a bit of a dilemma. They were also worried about Jun Lingyun's safety. After all, the master was going to Nanyan Country, someone else's territory. No one could say what would happen.
If something happens to their master when they are not around, they will never forgive themselves. But these children cannot be ignored.
Jun Lingyun saw the two men frowning, so he had to add something.
"After finishing your errands, come and meet me."
"Yes, Master!"
The two of them regained their energy. As long as they can quickly settle these children, they can catch up with their master and their schedule as soon as possible.
The young man was also very excited. The children he saved really had a chance to survive.
The young man suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Jun Lingyun.
"Sir, my name is Wen Yang. When I grow up, if I have the ability, I will definitely repay you for your great kindness today."
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to repay me."
Jun Lingyun curled her lips. Only when a person has hope can he live a better life.
Jun Lingyun, Bai Xiao, and the six, eight, and ten men flicked their whips and continued on their way.
Looking at their heroic figures, Wen Yang felt infinite yearning in his heart, hoping that one day he could become a big shot like them, capable of helping others.
"Let's go, wake up the children, we have to be on our way."
The second and fourth children wished they could finish their errands immediately and chase their master, so they had no choice but to urge the children to hurry up.
