In addition to being thin and small, the children also had another problem: they hadn't taken a bath for who knows how long, and they stunk all over. Ling Xiao really couldn't stand the smell.
Fortunately, all the men who came with Ling Xiao were used to the bad smell. This was because how could poor families have so much hot water for bathing?
In daily life, boiling water requires fuel, which means firewood, and sometimes even hay is used to light the fire. This requires spending money or picking it up yourself.
Most people don't even have enough brown rice to eat. They have enough money to buy more firewood. They even drink cold water. Naturally, they don't use hot water to bathe. It often takes a long time to clean up their personal hygiene.
Basically, people from the lower class did not have the opportunity to pay attention to hygiene, and they were used to having a certain smell on their bodies. Later, they were selected as soldiers. After a training session, they were very tired, ate a full meal, and fell asleep. Several people were in the same barracks, one after another.
Not particular about hygiene.
It can be said that if several people live in a room, the room is filled with the smell of sweat, which is quite unpleasant in itself. There are often many men in the room that also smell of smelly feet.
Sweat odor, foot odor and other unpleasant smells are all mixed together. If the smell is more severe, you will faint from the smell. It is comparable to biological and chemical weapons.
They didn't feel anything was wrong when Ling Xiao instructed them to take care of the child. These days, they all knew that Ling Xiao was very particular about personal hygiene. Fortunately, Xiao He was there. She was responsible for Ling Xiao's logistics work, so naturally they wouldn't let those A
It takes a lot of effort.
Just like that, Ling Xiao and his party returned to the convoy. There were some soldiers who stayed behind, and some people who followed Ling Xiao to settle down near Li's house.
Seeing the group of people returning with a lot of belongings, the people who stayed behind were a little stunned, because under previous circumstances they would have left their belongings behind.
Some people simply don’t understand how powerful Ling Xiao is, because some of them were picked up by soldiers. They don’t know what Ling Xiao means? Why didn’t he give away much of his property?
They also brought two children back. Could it be that they snatched the children back? Some people looked at Ling Xiao with a little more vigilance, and at the same time looked at the soldiers.
There are also people who look down on Ling Xiao. They always feel that this person is an extremely delicate person. Why should he drink hot water at this time? The weather is hot, and people don't need to drink hot water at all.
Therefore, Ling Xiao, who drinks hot water to ensure his health, is indescribably delicate in the eyes of others. Compared with them, they feel that there is a big gap between them, and they don't like Ling Xiao very much.
Ling Xiao naturally felt that someone was despising her, but she was not angry. She had met many people, and there were also people who hated her. This level of contempt was simply a trivial matter, and there was no need to take it to heart.
She first asked Xiao He to prepare hot water and prepare to clean up the personal hygiene of the two children, especially to remove lice and flea eggs.
This kind of thing must be disposed of cleanly, otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable if it hatches again and is passed around. Not only will the host be sucked blood, and the whole body will be itchy, those fleas and lice will transmit viruses and bacteria, and can also be transmitted from person to person, and between people and animals.
.
Those things had to be cleared away. Before cleaning up, she went through the supplies she brought and found some ready-made clothes. The reason why she brought some clothes was to prevent some people from having nothing to wear.
I gave it to a few people along the way, but I was still able to find a few pieces of clothing. I could change all the clothes on the children and let them wear good clothes.
After the water was boiled, she had the two children washed, paying special attention to the insect eggs. As a precaution, the two children had their heads shaved directly before taking a bath. Children of this size had not yet begun to have hair.
head.
The two siblings were sent to bathe separately by a female and a male adult. The two children were always a little scared and did not dare to speak out, let alone resist. They were brushed all over their bodies several times.
The person in charge of bathing the children sighed. The children of these two people were really dirty. They were all little clay figures. The first time they were washed, they were filled with muddy soup. They were really dirty, so they had to wash them several times.
Second-rate.
After putting on the new clothes, the two children stared with wide eyes. Some of them couldn't believe their eyes and touched their clothes. They were really soft and new and looked good on them.
Afterwards, Ling Xiao asked them to eat rice porridge specially prepared for the children. The two children's stomachs still needed to be adjusted. She took the children's pulse carefully and wrote down the relevant things to pay attention to.
The other soldiers were also surprised when they learned about the whole situation of the Wang family from other companions. People could be so bad. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao had to discover the problem, otherwise he would be deceived by the Wang family.
The thought that they had been cheated by three people with no bottom line made them very unhappy. The behavior of the three Wang family members was too bad, so they still told the matter, surprising the people who despised Ling Xiao in their hearts.
Is this the reason? After knowing the reason, some people think that Ling Xiao did a good job. What the Wang family did is too unreasonable and they should be taught a lesson. Some people think that Ling Xiao's methods are too much. As for having to kill the child
take away?
This is equivalent to the children directly severing the relationship with their grandfather's family, huh huh! Even if the children's grandmother and uncle are not very good, but no matter what, they are the children's relatives.
Ling Xiao frowned after hearing this. She didn't care about what some people thought. They had different ideas and concepts. How could everyone have the same processing philosophy?
She said: "Relatives should help each other, rather than being sucked unilaterally. I don't want my two children to be sucked by their closest relatives. They are not close relatives, but enemies."
Several people who heard this shook their heads. In their eyes, Ling Xiao's words were simply too selfish. We are all members of the same family, so we just need to give in to each other.
Naturally, they didn't know that Ling Xiao hated hearing a sentence: What's wrong with the whole family? Let's make the family harmonious. After hearing this, she looked at those people up and down, and she really didn't expect anyone to dare to come to her. Beep beep
.
Ling Xiao laughed and said: "The problem is that the person who is sucked by blood does not give in, but keeps giving in. Once he doesn't want to give in, it means that the person has a bad mind. All the efforts he has made before will be in vain, so it is better to give in.
I won’t let you go from the beginning!”
After saying that, she looked up and down at the people who were talking about the matter, and said slowly: "Of course you seem to be happy to have your blood sucked by others now, but that's not wrong. You must not ask anyone for help in the future."
When she said this, the corner of her mouth curled up. At this moment, she looked at those people with a faint smile. This smile made several people feel chills on their backs, and they always felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Speaking of which, this time Erlang's wife plans to contribute funds to subsidize the wife and children of the deceased who originally followed Li Langjun. One or two people are not too much, but if there are many people, it will cost too much. It is good to have people who don't need help. In the future
Don’t try to persuade others to do good things when they have suffered,” Ling Xiao said.
After hearing this, these people felt bad and regretted that they had talked too much and had not shown their abilities before speaking out. If the other party did not want to talk to them, there was no way they could do it.
Ling Xiao didn't care what these people thought and walked away directly, determined to make those people suffer a little. Don't you like being sucked blood? Let those people feel it.
Afterwards, she told the soldiers to deduct some money from those who liked to talk a lot in terms of meals and other aspects. She did not like to persuade others to be generous, so in this case, they should be generous.
When the soldiers heard this, they didn't know what to say. They didn't expect that she would do this. Some people might say that Ling Xiao was not very generous, but in their opinion, they felt angry, so they resolutely carried out Ling Xiao's order.
The reason for doing this is because to them Ling Xiao is a good gentleman. Unfortunately, she is a woman. As men, they are not very embarrassed to become a disciple, but it does not prevent them from respecting her from the bottom of their hearts.
After what happened to the Wang family, they respected Ling Xiao even more, because they were very angry when they thought of almost being deceived. This is why Ling Xiao looked so scary when he did things, but they were still obedient.
This time when she came out, the soldiers knew something about Ling Xiao's reputation, but they had no direct contact. Now they know how powerful she is. Ling Xiao asked them to pay attention to learning more in their daily lives. There will always be a teacher among us, and we will always learn from each other.
old.
It can be said that every soldier learned something this time, letting them understand that as long as they are willing to learn, it is never too late. They can learn things in all aspects, as long as they are determined.
The group of them are now rushing to do practical things, such as preparing food for the children. Hard food such as flatbreads cannot be used. They have to drink thicker porridge. A small amount of salt can be added to the porridge, but not
What meat to add?
The two children should be observing filial piety. They should definitely not eat meaty food, or eat some rice porridge to nourish themselves. Anyway, now they can only slowly nourish their bodies.
Ling Xiao did not take care of the two children himself, but asked a kind mother to take care of them. After being left behind, the two little ones slept on very warm bedding.
Maybe the two of them had such a life, but after their mother and grandfather died, nothing existed. There was no need to compete with pigs for food. This was the first time in their lives that they had a new beginning.
Ling Xiao then went on the road. After being robbed of food several times, those people became unwilling. Why should he eat less? He had to find Ling Xiao and get an explanation.
After hearing what he said, Ling Xiao said slowly: "Didn't you persuade people to be generous before? Why, you can't stand it after just missing a few meals? You must know that those two children are competing with pigs for food."
Several people wanted to cry after hearing this. Ling Xiao didn't show up much before, which made others think that Ling Xiao wanted to listen to the soldiers. Now they realized that it was not the case at all. After begging several times, several people finally became honest and decided to beg for mercy. Ling Xiao
Just let those few people go.
Having good food, drink, and good clothes, even if they were not feeling well on the road, the two children's health gradually improved. The person they liked the most in their hearts was Ling Xiao, who was also called Ling Xiao: Master.
The group of them finally took away all the people who should be taken away. Those who followed found that some villages were deserted along the way. Due to the war, there were many villages without people.
Of course, there is no shortage of people who want to rob. When Ling Xiao meets those people, Ling Xiao is not polite to those who make a living by robbing other people's property and directly gets rid of them.
There was also a case of cannibalism, and even the two siblings who had just put on some weight were almost snatched away when they were out for convenience. When Ling Xiao caught such people, he immediately got rid of them.
Whether they are human traffickers or cannibals, they don't need to be alive. Dead people will not do evil. She has no time or territory to monitor such people, so she naturally takes action without discussion.
Some children were rescued during this process, but the adults were nowhere to be seen. Others had no intention of adopting children. They couldn't support their families, so naturally they couldn't adopt children.
Those people asked Ling Xiao to take away the children without parents. Ling Xiao thought about it and did not abandon the children, because if she didn't want them, those children would basically have no way to survive.
In the end, Ling Xiao had no choice. She took many children without parents back to Yang Juan and told her that she would take care of these children from now on.
The reason why the children were not given to Yang Juan was because she had to take care of the Liu family, old and young, and had no time to take care of these children.
And when she takes her back, her eldest children can help take care of her and let them grow up. The Wang family siblings saw their aunt, but they were unwilling to live with her and insisted on living with Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao thought for a while, their aunt was already married, it was very inconvenient to have someone from her husband's family, and if she met the Wang family, she wouldn't dare to confront her, so she should raise her first.
After hearing this, their aunt knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Xiao, thanking her for being able to rescue the child and for being willing to raise the two children, so she gave the two children some of the things her sister had left behind.
Ling Xiao smiled after getting the thing. This aunt did a good job. If she didn't take it out, most people wouldn't know it. This shows that this woman has very good self-control. She asked the two children to kowtow to thank her aunt.
Later, she met Yang Juan and talked about it. Yang Juan remembered that woman, and then smiled and said that the two children were very lucky. This was because she knew Ling Xiao's ability. If those children grew up beside her,
Our future will not be bad.
She knew that if one day she had a child, she also hoped to get Ling Xiao's guidance, and the child with Ling Xiao would live a wonderful life.
Ling Xiao told Yang Juan all the situation, said goodbye to her, and left to go back to Xiaozhuangzi. After all, her younger brother was probably impatient.
When she returned to the formation with such a few children, she asked the soldier who sent her back to go back to Yang's house. Yang Juan wanted to give some things and letters to her nephew, so she just sent them there.
She took these children back to her small village, with Xiaohe driving two cars with her. The children here are both boys and girls. When they turn eighteen, they can choose the path they want to take, and they can be considered adults.
.
And these children need to be well educated, because their parents are gone, which means they have almost no relatives. At this time, you need to pay careful attention to the situation. Fortunately, there are many people in Xiaozhuang who can take care of children.
