"You don't need to worry about this. I have a way. Just follow what I say." Fu Manman finished explaining to Chang Zhong, and then said to Lu Hua: "Auntie, you and the children are here, guarding the luggage and collecting the luggage."
Please help take care of the children when they come back."
"cockroach……"
Hey...where's Xiaoqiang!
Fu Manman looked around and saw no one. He was puzzled because he was there just now!
"Have you seen Xiaoqiang?" Fu Manman asked Fu An and Fu Shuangshuang.
"I saw him leaving with that uncle." Lin Qiaoer pointed to the small woods in front of her.
Leaving? Fu Manman was puzzled and full of doubts. Did this kid think she was crazy and ran away on his own?
No! He is not such a person. Besides, he and I are a family member. He will not abandon his brothers and sisters and run away alone.
"Second brother, you're not leaving!" Fu Shuangshuang and Fu An whispered.
Fu An was not sure, after all, this second brother was not the real second brother, he was just adopted. Thinking that the second brother might have run away, Fu An felt a little sad.
"I'm back." Fu Qiang ran over from the woods at a trot, his face covered with water and his hair soaked.
"Second brother, you're not leaving!" Fu An happily stepped forward and pulled Fu Qiang.
"Second brother, it's great that you didn't leave." Fu Shuangshuang shouted sweetly.
Fu Qiang looked at the Fu siblings and smiled. He looked at Fu Manman and said, "I just went to the woods to take a rest."
Did everyone think he ran away and left them just now?
Fu Qiang felt a little guilty. In fact, his husband had been urging him to leave just now, and Fang Mulei even tried to knock him out. Fortunately, he was well prepared.
No matter what, he will not leave because he doesn't want to leave. The Fu family needs him more now, and Manman has said that they are a family and no one can be missing.
He should wait until the Fu siblings are sent to a safe place and properly resettled before he leaves!
"Okay, he is your second brother and we are a family. He can still run away and leave us alone." Fu Manman shook his head when he saw Fu An and Fu Shuangshuang clinging to Fu Qiang.
"Xiao Qiang, you stay and guard the camp with Aunt Luhua." Fu Manman arranged Fu Qiang's tasks.
Fu Qiang was reluctant, "Let Uncle Chang stay, and I'll go with you."
"You can't. Uncle Chang is an adult and has a loud voice." Fu Manman refused Fu Qiang's suggestion.
Her arrangements all make sense.
"Miss, what about me?" Qiao'er hugged Xiaomaodan and stepped forward to ask. She also wanted to help.
"Look after Xiaomaodan and Afu, this is a very important task." Fu Manman patted Qiaoer on the shoulder and gave her an encouraging look.
Qiaoer nodded happily, "Well, Miss, I will definitely take care of the young master and little Afu."
"Okay, don't call me miss or master from now on, just call me sister!" Fu Manman was full of modern thinking, and he really wasn't used to having a little sister who called her miss every day.
Qiaoer nodded obediently: "Yes, I understand, miss!"
…
Forget it, just call her whatever you want!
Now that everything was ready, she was about to take action.
The rain was pouring, not too heavy, but still refreshing.
Fu Manman held up an oil-paper umbrella and set off with Chang Zhong. Fu An and Fu Shuangshuang also held an umbrella each and followed closely behind.
A group of people went to the city gate. The city gate was still very busy at this moment, and the refugees did not leave because of the rain.
On both sides of the city gate, sheds were built. One side was built by the government of Fengcheng City Lord to collect refugees sold into slavery.
Every refugee who signed a signature would have a fire mark burned on his neck before entering the city, so there were constant screams in the shed at the government office.
In the shed on the other side, several officers were recruiting soldiers, and there were quite a few people queuing up. They were all young and strong men, and there were also some young children. She heard someone say that you can enlist in the army if you are over twelve years old.
This world is really cruel. In China, twelve-year-old children are still in elementary school and act like a spoiled child around their parents.
But here, such a young child has to go to the battlefield with a sword.
This is all about losing your life!
Outside these two groups of people are people who have nowhere to go. Among these people are children, women, and old people.
Fu Manman saw many babies wrapped in swaddling clothes abandoned beside the city wall, crying continuously. She hurriedly stepped forward and called to Fu An and Fu Shuangshuang, "Come here quickly and take back all the living children."
Fu Manman stepped forward and picked up a swaddling child. The child was crying loudly. She saw that the child was skinny and had two lumps popping out of his mouth. He was probably more than ten months old. It was really pitiful that he was abandoned like this.
Already.
"Sister, this child is out of breath!" Fu Shuangshuang pointed at an infant child with red eyes and said.
Fu Manman's face was filled with sadness. She saw that the child didn't look like he had starved to death, but was thrown to death, and her heart ached.
"Take them back! We'll find a place to bury them soon, otherwise these poor children will be snatched away by wolves at night." Fu Manman said with a heavy heart.
Fu Shuangshuang nodded, she picked up the poor child, and then went to the camp with An An.
Fu Manman also hugged two infants who had been abandoned, and Chang Zhong hugged three.
The smallest one is about the same size as a little furry egg.
"This little one looks like he's about to die." Chang Zhong said seriously.
"Let's send them back quickly. We'll save every one we can." Fu Manman walked back with the child in her arms, and then she saw the child carrying the baby she had seen before.
The child was huddled under the city wall, shivering, and his whole body was soaked. The baby's head hung limply on his back.
Fu Manman was heartbroken, and hurriedly stepped forward, squatted beside the child, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, follow me, and my sister will take you back."
The little girl raised her head and looked at Fu Manman's thin little face, without any trace of life, and her face was wet with tears and rain mixed together.
"Let's go!" Fu Manman stretched out his hand to pull her.
The little girl stood up obediently with Fu Manman's help. When she stood up, she helped the child behind her with her hand and murmured: "Brother, stop crying."
Fu Manman burst into tears. She turned away and couldn't bear to look at the little girl and her brother again. She might not know that the brother behind her had already passed away.
On the way back, she found several children who had been abandoned by their families.
There are those who can only stagger when they are two or three years old, and there are those who are four, five or six years old and can already stand on their own. There are also girls about ten years old. Boys as old as this are either going to the army or selling themselves into slavery.
The girls had nowhere to go and sold themselves into slavery. They knew what would happen without even thinking about it.
In this era, the life of girls is low. These half-grown girls already understand human affairs and would rather freeze to death and starve to death outside the city than go into the city to be slaves and be abused by others.
They were fully paid and taken home. Although they didn't know why, they were all grateful.
In the camp, many children soon gathered, and the children cried loudly.
