Chapter 154 How can one word describe this? (1)
Lu Changqing looked at the other nine girls who wanted to go home and said, "You can rest in the village for a few days. I will send you back after I have arranged things in the village."
After thinking about it, Lu Changqing added, "If you encounter problems that are difficult to solve or that you can't figure out after you go back, you can come to me and I will help you to the best of my ability."
Just then, a small white bird with a long tail flew in from outside the yard and landed on Lu Changqing's shoulder.
Xiaoxue leaned close to Lu Changqing's ear and chirped, "Changqing, those four men are running down the mountain. Should we chase them?"
Lu Changqing nodded imperceptibly, then said to Qin Luan: "Mom, please look after this side for a while, I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."
Now the mountain is full of dead people, Qin Luan is a little worried, "Where are you going?"
Lu Changqing: "Go out and kill a few people, and be back soon."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Luan to say anything else, Lu Changqing followed Xiaoxue with a knife in his hand and ran out of the temple.
The four men didn't run far before they were intercepted by Lu Changqing halfway.
"Should I chop you up and drag you back now, or do you want to walk back on your own?"
The four men turned pale with fear and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
Zhang San dropped the knife in his hand, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground very smoothly, "My lord, I was wrong. I didn't want to run away. It was Zhao Dong and the others who instigated me. I——"
A cold light flashed, and Zhang San closed his mouth forever.
"If you like to pass the buck so much, then go and pass it slowly underground. There's a big oil pan underneath, you can pass it however you want." Lu Changqing shook off the blood on the knife, looked at the other three men who were too scared to move and said, "What about you? Are you going to go back and continue digging holes to bury the bodies, or are you going to stay here with your brothers?"
The three men were so frightened that they knelt on the ground begging Lu Changqing for mercy.
"This is the last time. If you dare to run again, I will break your legs and hang you upside down on the big banyan tree in the temple to dry and make bacon." Lu Changqing threatened.
"We won't dare to do it again. Even if you kill us, my king, we won't dare to run away again!"
Lu Changqing looked at the three people in front of him who kept begging for mercy, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Get back to work!"
The three men ran back tumbling as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Get back here! Carry this dead man on the ground with you!"
When the three heard this, they hurried back, two of them raised one arm each, and the other one raised both feet, and they did not dare to delay for a moment and ran straight towards the temple.
The three men worked tirelessly for a whole day and night to dig a large and deep pit. Lu Changqing brought the eleven girls over to check the results of their work and expressed great satisfaction.
"How do you think I should reward you?"
One of them spoke tremblingly: "Thank you... Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing us. Sparing us a chance to live and giving us the antidote is already the greatest reward."
Another person echoed: "Yes, yes, we are already very content."
Lu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at them.
After a moment's silence, she suddenly laughed, "In that case, I will reward you with a quick death."
Before she finished her words, she swung the knife in her hand quickly, and the three people fell to the ground and died before they could even let out a scream.
Lu Changqing took the lead and kicked the bodies of the three people to the bottom of the pit. The girls followed suit and kicked the bodies piled at the edge of the pit down one by one.
Yesterday, Lu Changqing had taken them to see the bloody scene in the front yard and helped clean up the blood on the ground. Now they were not as scared of the corpses as they were at the beginning.
Being able to watch their enemies turn into corpses and bury them with their own hands made them feel much better.
There was a lot of food stored in the temple's storehouse, as well as some gold, silver, jade and other items.
Lu Changqing took out a few strings of cash and divided them among the nine girls. After she had distributed the money, she said earnestly, "After you go home, if you are not happy and want to leave home but have nowhere else to go, you can always come back to us. You are always welcome here."
In modern times, female victims of sexual assaults are subject to intentional or unintentional accusations and rumors online and offline, and from neighbors. Not to mention in ancient times, when these girls returned home, they could imagine how people around them would talk about them.
Rumors can kill people without them even noticing, and she was afraid that these girls would not be able to withstand the gossip around them and would choose to commit suicide.
"What the boss means is that if you are forced to the point where you can't survive, then come back. Don't try to commit suicide."
The person who was speaking was called Luo Huan. Everyone called her Huan Niang or Huan Jie. She was one of the only two people left in the village. She didn't beat around the bush and had a very straightforward personality.
The other girl, Xiang Hongyu, heard Luo Huan say this and agreed, "What Huan Niang said is right. Death is the most useless thing. We survived those two difficult years. Now that those bastards are dead, our good days are coming. We should live well."
A girl stood up and said with gratitude: "Sister Huan, Sister Hongyu, Big Boss, don't worry, we won't choose to commit suicide."
"That's right. If you wanted to die, you would have banged your head against the wall when you were abducted to this filthy place and insulted by those beasts. Why would you have waited until today?"
A round-faced girl joked to Lu Changqing: "Boss, you have to keep your word. If we come back to join you, don't look down on us for being clumsy."
How could they be clumsy? Farm girls have to learn to do housework as soon as they can walk, starting with the most basic sweeping the floor, then lighting the fire, washing dishes, washing clothes, cutting grass for pigs and taking care of their younger sisters and brothers. When they are older, they have to work in the fields with their elders at home. Whether it is farm work outside or housework at home, they are good at it.
If they were all considered clumsy, then all the men in the world would be disabled.
Lu Changqing held the hand of the girl named Yan Ping and said, "Of course not. I am so happy that you are back. How could I dislike you?"
"Sisters are all watching. If the boss cheats in the future, you have to come out and testify for us!"
The crowd suddenly became lively, and the dullness and sadness brought by parting were diluted. Lu Changqing looked at this group of lively sisters and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
There were five horses in the temple, and no one knew where the bandits had stolen them from. Lu Changqing spent half a day teaching Ling Shuang, Luo Huan and others how to ride horses. There was no place to race horses on the mountain, so they could only ride horses around in the temple.
Luo Huan and her companions were not going into battle to kill the enemy, nor were they participating in the Guinness World Record, so Lu Changqing did not have high requirements for their equestrian skills at this time. It would be enough for them to hold the reins tightly and keep their bodies steady when the horses trotted.
Lu Changqing and Luo Huan took two days to send the nine girls back to their homes. Three of them immediately followed Lu Changqing and the others back to the temple.
Their families did not accept them and even questioned why they did not die outside.
Some people are like this, they value reputation and face more than the lives of their own daughters. But if the person who gets into trouble is their son, will these people let their sons die?
Lu Changqing seemed to shake her head. What was she thinking about? Chastity was used to restrain women. Men would not care about it and naturally would not let their sons die.
