The next day

Wei Hong stood in the newly rented courtyard in Renyi Lane and looked around with satisfaction.

This was the largest of the courtyards he had rented, not smaller than Wei's house in Tianbao Lane, and it was no problem to accommodate more than a dozen people.

"Renyi Lane is called Courtyard No. 1!"

"There is Courtyard No. 2 in Tailor Lane!"

"There is Courtyard No. 3 in Caishi Street!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, in this way, no matter what happens, I can have a basis for retreat and can hide in it at any time with a different identity, which increases the safety a lot."

Wei Hong smiled with his lips curled!

The vermilion door was knocked on.

He opened the door and saw a bunch of ragged boys and girls gathered at the door, attracting passers-by to look sideways.

"Brother Wei!"

"Brother Hong!"

The boys and girls greeted carefully.

Wei Hong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Come in!"

These people ranged in age from five or six to seventeen or eighteen, and each of them was pale and thin. Some of them were disabled, and no one would look at them more than once when they walked on the street.

But they were childhood friends of Wei Hong in the slums.

Among them, Luan Xiaoqi was the boy who helped him find out about Zheng Fusheng last time.

"Brother Hong, why did you come here with us?" Luan Xiaoqi looked around in surprise and asked, "Did you buy this place?"

"Rented!" Wei Hong said concisely, "It's not a good thing for you to struggle in the slums. It's just right that renting this yard can give you a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Let's all move in and live here in the future."

"We move in?"

"Really?"

Everyone was stunned with surprise.

Obviously, he didn't expect such a pleasant surprise to happen to him.

Luan Xiaoqi refused subconsciously: "No need, haven't we lived well for so many years? I'm afraid you are not used to living here."

"Not used to it?" Wei Hong sneered and asked: "Do you also want your brothers and sisters to live like dogs? Hanging around doing nothing every day, stealing chickens and dogs for a full meal every day? If you are caught one day, you will chop off your hands and feet?"

Luan Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and did not refute!

This is the survival mode of the lower class. He understands it, and Wei Hong understands it even more!

There are also a few teenagers in the crowd who have joined the gang of thieves and fantasized about getting ahead. What happened?

Because they were caught stealing, their hands were chopped off directly, and they were disabled for life.

They are like bugs struggling in the quagmire!

Wei Hong now wants to pull them out of the quagmire and give everyone a warm and comfortable home. How can Luan Xiaoqi refuse?

"From today on, you all move in here and live here." Wei Hong said without letting anyone refuse: "I will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Whether you want to study, practice martial arts or learn crafts and embroidery, I will arrange it for you."

Luan Xiaoqi was shocked!

The boys and girls were also surprised.

A warm current flowed through their hearts, but no one could say no.

"Okay, go choose a room!" Wei Hong smiled and rubbed a little girl's head, saying: "There are three main rooms and two side rooms here, with kitchens and toilets. The girls will live in the two side rooms, and the others will live in the three main rooms. If there are not enough people, I will ask someone to buy a few beds another day."

"Go!"

Luan Xiaoqi gestured to his younger brothers and sisters softly.

"Really? That's great, thank you, Brother Wei!"

"Wow! Can we really live here?"

"Wow, that's great, the rooms here are so big."

The boys and girls cheered and jumped excitedly.

Wei Hong raised his hand and stuffed a bag of silver into Luan Xiaoqi's hand, and told him: "From now on, they will all be under your control. I will try my best to take time to come and teach you martial arts every day. You will buy clothes and food for everyone. There must be meat for three meals a day. Have you made a note of it?"

"Yes!"

Luan Xiaoqi nodded silently.

He didn't say anything to express his gratitude, but there were tears in his eyes.

"Why are you crying? You are useless!" Wei Hong hugged his shoulders and smiled: "Now I have practiced martial arts successfully and I have enough money. It is not difficult to support you. When you practice martial arts successfully in the future, you can help me. We are complementary to each other, understand? Don't be too hypocritical!"

"Okay! I will take good care of them." Luan Xiaoqi promised solemnly.

You can see it from the firmness in his eyes.

Wei Hong's investment this time should not be a loss.

Anyway, the three courtyards rented are empty anyway, so it doesn't matter if they live there. As long as they are trained properly, they will be a group of trustworthy helpers.

Although I don't expect them to help with killing and arson!

But Luan Xiaoqi did a good job in collecting intelligence last time.

Maybe it will be useful in the future!

"In addition!" Wei Hong once again stated his request: "I want you to help me practice!"

"How to help?" Luan Xiaoqi was surprised.

"It's not difficult!" Wei Hong pointed to the five special mourning sticks piled in the corner and said: "I asked Hu the blacksmith to forge this mourning stick. Each one weighs 12 pounds. You can pick a few strong ones to help me beat my whole body."

"Oh?"

Luan Xiaoqi stepped forward and grabbed the mourning stick and took a look. He couldn't help but take a breath.

He also knew a little about warriors refining skin, but he had never seen such a weapon used to beat oneself. This was too crazy.

But he also knew that Wei Hong must have his own secrets!

Therefore, he didn't ask more questions, but just thought for a moment and said: "Except for a few girls, young people, and those with broken hands, there are probably only a few people who can help."

"Okay, go and arrange it!" Wei Hong nodded.

"Okay!" Luan Xiaoqi didn't waste any words and directly asked the boys and girls to come out and give a lecture: "Listen to me, Brother Hong is kind and let us live here, we can't be ignorant. We must help with everything we can do, and we are not allowed to complain about the hardship, otherwise you will go back to the slums to starve and freeze, remember?"

"Yes!"

"I know, Brother Xiaoqi!"

"Thank you, Brother Wei!"

The boys and girls agreed with all their efforts.

"Da Ya and Er Ya, you keep two people to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and take two people to buy vegetables and cook. Brother Hong said that we must have meat every meal in the future!"

"Xiao Wu and Xiao Xu, you who have broken hands should go to buy supplies, buy some clothes, shoes, socks, food, rice and flour."

"San Gou, Er Hu, follow me to help Brother Hong refine his skin!"

Luan Xiaoqi arranged the boys and girls neatly.

The silver coins were distributed one by one, and everything was arranged in a short while.

Some people bought supplies, some bought vegetables and cooked, and some looked after several younger brothers and sisters. In the end, including Luan Xiaoqi, there were only seven half-grown boys gathered beside Wei Hong.

They were all between fifteen and seventeen years old!

Although they were pale and thin due to long-term lack of nutrition.

But it was still easy to lift a 12-jin mourning stick.

"Let's start!"

Wei Hong found a long and wide bench.

He took off his robe and lay on it with his bare upper body, signaling them to beat hard.
