It's time for her to pick a place as her own.
"Are you there?"
Hearing what Lin Xiaotang said, a curious look appeared on Lin Yiyi's face: "Mother, where are we going?"
Lin Yiyi couldn't remember exactly what happened that night.
She only knew that their home was gone, and her mother Lin Xiaotang took her away from her hometown.
"You'll find out soon." Lin Xiaotang said.
Instead of answering Lin Yiyi's question, she beckoned and called the guy in the inn.
"Excuse me, where are there bandits and bandits around here?"
"Bandits?"
The guy was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
But soon, he reacted.
The mother and daughter must have wanted to find out where the bandits were, and then avoided them specially.
"Thirty miles to the south, there is a Hulu Mountain," the man said. "I heard that a new group of bandits has appeared there, and a passing caravan has been robbed."
Hulu Mountain?
Lin Xiaotang smiled slightly: "Okay, I see."
A new batch of bandits also happened to meet her expected goals.
After leaving the inn, Lin Xiaotang did not hesitate at all, and immediately took Lin Yiyi to Hulu Mountain.
And her beautiful and luxurious carriage, unsurprisingly, became the robbery target of this group of bandits.
onlyβ¦β¦
"You are also considered bandits?"
Looking at these ragged, yellow-faced and thin people, Lin Xiaotang only felt that this was not what she imagined.
In her impression, bandits are a group of vicious people.
But what about these robbers?
The weapons in their hands were actually sticks and hoes.
There were a few frail men, even shorter than her.
Looking at these trembling people, Lin Xiaotang regretted a little.
What she was looking for was a younger brother, not a burden.
Knowing that they were so weak, she might as well try another hill.
What Lin Xiaotang didn't know was that these miserable bandits in front of him were also very regretful.
They saw that Lin Xiaotang was an orphan, widowed, and rich, and they thought it was a fat sheep.
Who knew that this woman's force value was so high that she easily overturned them!
"How can you big families understand?" After hearing Lin Xiaotang's words, someone couldn't help but retort, "If you can survive, who would want to rob?"
Now, which of the so-called "bandits" and "bandits" had to run up the mountain because they couldn't get along in their hometown?
Those in power made violent levies and made them miserable, which forced the resistance of these common people.
The person who spoke seemed to be the leader of this group of people.
His phrasing is quite elegant, and the dialect accent is not heavy, which is obviously different from ordinary people.
"Have you read books?"
Lin Xiaotang realized this and asked.
The man denied it at once: "No, I can only recognize a few words."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotang was not surprised either.
In this world, scholars can live much easier than ordinary people, how could there be a situation where "can't live" in his mouth.
However, just because he hasn't read books doesn't mean others haven't.
The person who taught them to speak and read must have a lot to do with this group of bandits.
Most likely, he was the one who persuaded them to go up the mountain.
How could a scholar come to take care of the bandit?
Lin Xiaotang suddenly became interested in this group of people.
"Do you want to have a full meal?"
She glanced at these people and asked.
They nodded.
"I support you," Lin Xiaotang said lightly, "As a price, your stock is mine."
Chapter 61 True and false daughter (4)
"what?!"
After hearing Lin Xiaotang's words, everyone was stunned.
This group of bandits never imagined that they would kick the iron plate today.
Where is this gentle and gentle little lady, this is clearly a big robber who is more murderous than them!
Faced with Lin Xiaotang's request, some people were moved, while others were not very happy.
But Lin Xiaotang didn't care about their thoughts at all.
They couldn't beat her anyway.
In this kind of place, isn't it just whoever has the bigger fist, listens to whoever?
So, under the coercion of her force value, these bandits had no choice but to nod and agree to her request, and took them to their stockade.
On the bright side, it's not bad that this woman promised to support them.
Under the guidance of these people, Lin Xiaotang quickly came to the mountain and saw their so-called stockade.
She glanced at it and saw that there were only a few relatively simple houses, most of which were thatched cottages, and a few were made of stones.
A little further away, there are two caves.
Some elderly women are working in a small field with agricultural tools.
Before, after seeing these bandits, Lin Xiaotang still disliked them for being weak.
But when she went up the mountain, she realized that they were already the strongest people in this stockade.
Ragged old women, gray men, skinny children...
Rather than saying that they are mountain bandits, it is better to say that they are refugees.
"Ahu, who are these people?"
While Lin Xiaotang was observing here, a scholar with an elegant temperament came over and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Li, this is Miss Lin, the owner of the future stockade."
The young man named "Ahu" recounted the general process of the matter.
When A Hu said that Lin Xiaotang was going to occupy the stockade to raise these people, Mr. Li showed a suspicious look: "Isn't this really a joke? You haven't been cheated of money, have you?"
