Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 15 Determining the Place of Settlement
After listening to Jing Yi's words, the boy looked at the money in Jing Yi's hand and knelt on the ground without saying a word for a long time.

Suddenly he kowtowed to Jing Yi and begged: "Young Master, please take us brother and sister. We can do any kind of work and endure any kind of hardship. Our brothers and sisters came here fleeing from disaster and have nowhere to go. Please take us in, Young Master." Two."

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Jing Yi again, with a red mark on his forehead.Seeing her brother like this, the younger sister knelt down and kowtowed to Jing Yi together with her brother, begging Jing Yi to take him in.

The two children are only in their teens, and Jing Yi thought that in her previous life, such a young child lived carefree under the protection of their parents and received a good education on campus.

Jing Yi was also in a dilemma for a while, she and her mother have not settled down yet, how to bring two more people with them.

But looking at the helpless two children, Jing Yi's heart softened for no reason.

She thought for a while and said, "It's fine for me to take you in, but you have to sell yourself to me. Otherwise, I won't let you stay with me at ease."

Jing Yi did this for future consideration.Although she would not really treat these two children as slaves, for future safety considerations, she must ensure that the people around her are loyal to her.And it would be safer to have a deed of sale.

For the ancients, Jing Yi's request was very common. Without the bondage of the contract of selling one's life, who can guarantee that a new acquaintance will be devoted to the master wholeheartedly?
The young man was also somewhat scheming, he could see that the young master in front of him was a compassionate and honest gentleman, and following such a master would not be a disadvantage.Besides, he helped them bury their mother.It can also be regarded as their benefactor.

The young man said: "The villain is willing to sell himself to the young master, and my sister is also sold to the young master together with me, please take us in."

Jing Yi immediately made a decision, "Okay, I'll accept the two of you."

Jing Yi asked about the situation of the two of them.The two people's surname is Qiao, and the elder brother is Qiao Daniu, who is 13 years old.The younger sister is Qiao Lanhua, who is only 11 years old.

When Jing Yi heard that the names of the two brothers and sisters were really unpleasant, she said, "Let me change your names. Daniel, you are called Qiao Hong, and Lanhua, you are called Qiao Yan."

Qiao Hong, who changed his name, heard that his and his sister's names sounded so nice, and immediately knew that the master was a learned person, so he kowtowed to thank him immediately.The master still kept their surnames, Qiao Hong was very grateful.

Jing Yi said: "Although you sell yourself to me, you don't have to kneel and kowtow. I don't have such big rules. Now I don't have a fixed residence, and you will have to follow me for a while.

Qiao Hong said: "As long as you follow the son, we will not be afraid of hardship."

Jing Yi took the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family back to the inn, brought them to her mother, and told her about their situation.

When Liu heard this, she felt sorry for the two children, "Oh, they are really two poor children. You can follow us from now on."

Jing Yi said: "From now on, Qiao Yan will serve Madam."

Jing Yi opened another room, gave the two children a bath, and bought them clean clothes.After cleaning up like this, the two children look really good, at least they look good.

Jing Yi wrote a deed of prostitution for the two of them and reported to the government.The household registration of these two people will follow Jing Yi.

After a night of rest, the group of four hit the road.Several carriages were changed on the road, and they were robbed again.But at the end of the robbery, Jing Yi countered the robbery.

Qiao Hong didn't expect that his son was still a master, and those robbers were like a group of weak chickens in front of his son, who could only be beaten.

Since then, Qiao Hong's admiration for his son has increased, so he begged Jing Yi to teach him two tricks.

Jing Yi also hopes that Qiao Hong will be more skilled, so that she can have someone to protect her mother when she is not with her in the future.So Jing Yi also began to carefully teach Qiao Hong how to learn martial arts.Even Qiao Yan followed suit.

The brothers and sisters of the Qiao family knew that they had met a good person.Although they sold themselves to the young master, the young master treated them very well and even taught them martial arts, which was something they never dared to think about before.

Both of them are also grateful children, and they have shared many things for Jing Yi along the way.Even though Qiao Hong and his sister are only in their teens, they can do anything.After all, he was born in a poor family, so working is very common.

After a long journey all the way, they finally arrived at Huizhou Prefecture where they were going to settle down.Jing Yi observes that there is no famine in Huizhou Mansion, but it seems that the times are not so good.

However, Huizhou Prefecture is located in the south of Jin State, and the climate is better, but not so dry.

Jing Yi went to a county town not far below Huizhou Mansion, and found an inn to live in.

She was going to find a village right below Hui'an County to settle down.

After settling down with her mother and Qiao's brothers and sisters, Jing Yi went out to inquire about the news. She had to find out which village below the county seat was more suitable for them to settle down.

Jing Yi inquired with the hawkers who set up stalls on the street, as well as the waiter in the tea house, they were all well-informed.

After some inquiries, Jing Yi locked down a village called Yunxi Village.

This village is not too far away from the county seat by mountains and rivers, and there are relatively few people in the village, only a few dozen families.The village was formed by the gathering of refugees who fled here before, and there is no big clan in the village, which is very beneficial for migrants like Jing Yi and the others.

After Jing Yi got the news, she bought some gifts and rented a carriage to Yunxi Village the next day.

Jing Yi found that the geographical location of Yunxi Village is really good.It is not very far from the county seat, and there is a big mountain behind the village, which will be convenient for hunting and hunting in the future.Moreover, there is a river not far from the village, so it will be convenient to use water for farming in the future, and there will be aquatic products to eat.

Jing Yi went into the village and observed it. The houses in the village include thatched houses, mud houses, and brick houses.But there are only two brick houses.

After inquiring, Jing Yi found the village chief's house.The home of the village head is the best brick house in the village.

Jing Yi asked the driver of the carriage to wait outside, and she knocked on the courtyard door of the village chief's house with a gift.

Not long after, someone came to answer the door, it was a middle-aged woman.

The woman saw a handsome young man carrying a lot of things standing at the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Jing Yi asked, "Excuse me, is this the village chief's house?"

The woman said: "It's the village chief's house, what can I do for you?"

Jing Yi said: "I want to settle down in Yunxi Village, and I want to ask the village chief for help."

When the woman heard this, she said, "Then come in, my husband is at home."

Jing Yi followed the woman into the yard.

The yard of the village chief's house is made of blue bricks, and the house is also a house of blue bricks and tiles. It seems that the village chief's family is quite good.

There are two brick houses in the village, so she can build one.

After entering the house, Jing Yi saw the village head, who was a middle-aged man with a relatively clean face. Judging from the man's temperament, the village head should have read books.

After bowing and saluting, Jing Yi explained her intention of coming.
