Zhai Le said: "The wind under the forest? That's even more inappropriate."

Shen Tang was curious: "How is it inappropriate?"

She thought the name was nice and meaningful.

Except that it doesn't sound like a girl's name, everything else is fine.

Zhai Le wanted to say something but stopped himself.

In today's world, even some royal families can hardly protect themselves, a typical example being the royal family of Xin State, let alone ordinary people.

The situation of the girl's relatives is still unknown. Maybe they can be contacted soon, and they are willing to take care of the orphan and give her a place to shelter from the wind and rain. If the relatives are conscienceless, it is tantamount to stepping into another fire pit. However, it is more likely that they will not be found.

After all, in troubled times, human life is cheaper than grass.

Zhai Le leaned close to Shen Tang and whispered, so that the little girl wouldn't hear him: "The girl is staying with Brother Shen. No matter what she will become in the future, she will definitely be a maid for now. The name 'Lin Xia Zhi Feng' is too big. I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it and die young."

Shen Tang said with a smile: "Xiao Fang still believes in this?"

Zhai Le said: "It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist."

Shen Tang disagreed with him: "I don't agree with Xiaofang's view. In such a dangerous situation where she was sure to die, she was able to save her life, which shows that God will not abandon us. As the saying goes, 'If the time is too late, there will be good times in the end'. Who knows if there will be a smooth road ahead?"

Seeing that she insisted, Zhai Le stopped pouring cold water on her.

Shen Tang made the final decision: "Okay, from now on I'll call you Lin Feng."

The little girl's mood had stabilized a lot. She bowed deeply, lowered her head and eyes, and said softly, "Lin Feng greets my husband."

Shen Tang said: "As for the name, we'll choose it later."

After she said this, Zhai Le and Lin Feng looked at her in surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Feng twisted her sleeves tightly with her hands, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhai Le was speechless: "It's too young for a girl to be given a name at the age of 15."

"A man gets married at the age of twenty. Aren't you also not twenty when you got married?"

Zhai Le said: "This is different."

Men in this world can gather both literary and martial courage, and as one of their symbols, the literary and martial tiger seals are engraved with the owner's name to show their identity. No one knows who started it, but it is believed that choosing a name early can help to condense literary and martial courage.

Therefore, in the past two hundred years, no matter how young one is, as long as one can sense the energy of heaven and earth and successfully guide the energy of heaven and earth into the meridians and open up the Danfu, one can be given a name. Usually, parents or teachers give a name, but there are also special cases where one can choose one's own name.

Women's handwriting is different.

If a girl is still unmarried after the age of fifteen, her parents will choose a name for her. If she is already married or engaged before the age of fifteen, her husband will usually choose a name for her. Brother Shen is definitely not the girl's parent, so it is somewhat inappropriate and not in accordance with etiquette for him to choose a name for her.

If Brother Shen is interested in the girl, that’s another matter.

Zhai Le felt that he seemed to see through Brother Shen's intentions.

Well, it’s still a sinister intention!

Not sure if it was an illusion, Shen Tang felt a chill down his spine.

This intuition did not last long. The gangsters had already moved all the bodies to a place. Their eyes kept turning to Zhai Le, with a hint of expectation in their eyes - Zhai Le's digging of the pit would not only save time, but also make the pit deep, large and spacious.

Zhai Le is always willing to help others: "Okay, watch me."

"There's no rush to dig a hole." Shen Tang stopped him and asked the gangster, "Have you searched the bodies? Don't leave behind any useful or valuable things. Even the smallest mosquito is still meat. Don't waste it."

Shen·Well versed in thrift and frugality·So poor that he had to set up a stall to sell wine·Tang: "Don't let go of even a small piece of silver."

Zhai Le: “…”

In addition to moving and searching the bodies, the gangsters also had to move the wooden boxes of the Lin family. Each box was very heavy, some were scattered on the ground, and some were piled on the carriage. Some were filled with gold, silver and jewelry, some were filled with antiques, and some were personal "suitcases" for the women. Shen Tang held up a torch and looked at them one by one. Lin Feng twisted his sleeves with his fingers and followed behind her with his head down.

There were twenty-seven people in total, big and small.

Including those taken away by the bandits, there might be as many as fifty people.

From the things in the box, it can be seen that the Lin family is probably a wealthy family with a rich family background. If it weren't for Shen Tang and the others, these hooligans would have rushed over to grab the things.

Shen Tang ordered Lin Feng: "Pack these boxes."

Lin Feng suddenly looked up at Shen Tang, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Zhai Le said for her: "This is not appropriate..."

Logically speaking, these are all spoils of war, but not long ago they belonged to the girl and her family. Now that her family has all died and she is the only one left, Brother Shen asked her to pack up these things...

Inappropriate, inappropriate.

Shen Tang rolled his eyes. "What's wrong with that? Most of them are for women, and you let these stinky men do it? Be a decent person! At least leave a clean name behind. Besides, we don't know if the bodies can be found tomorrow. If not, their clothes can be kept for the cenotaph."

Zhai Le was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Tang to have this thought.

Shen Tang didn't care about Lin Feng's shocked expression: "As for your things, you can keep them for yourself. It will be a bit of a relief for you."

She paused again and warned Lin Feng: "As for your mother's things, you should also pick one or two to keep as a souvenir, so that you can see them and remember them in the future... Why are you crying again when you are fine?"

The red thread has not faded yet and has added crystal mist, about to fall but not falling.

She wiped her tears and expressed gratitude from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, my dear."

Shen Tang, feeling guilty: "..."

After taking someone else's money and being thanked several times by the sole survivor, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't hold it in. He could only rub her head awkwardly and said unnaturally, "Don't say thank you, just go."

When Lin Feng turned around, Shen Tang covered his face with his hands.

Zhai Le sighed and praised: "Brother Shen is a true gentleman!"

He is judging others by his own mean character.

Shame on you. Shame on you.

She covered her face with her hands instead and said in a muffled voice, "Stop talking."

Didn’t you see that she was so embarrassed that she wanted to buy out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment

Zhai Le: “???”

It took nearly half an hour to pack up everything.

The boxes were repacked and loaded into the carriage, and they would be transported down the mountain tomorrow. Shen Tang asked the gangsters to prepare the "camp" and prepare to stay here for the night. Because of the windfall, Shen Tang was also generous and allowed the gangsters to eat the dry food prepared by the guards.

If you make people work, they also have to be well fed, right

As for the young Lin Feng...

There were many mosquitoes in the forest, so Shen Tang asked her to get into the car and specifically reminded her: "No matter what happens later, don't run around in the car."

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked up at her worriedly.

Then he looked past her at the thugs.

Shen Tang understood what she meant.

He explained, "It's not these hooligans. They don't have the guts to do anything. It's the bandits. There's a bandit den in this mountain. They must have robbed you before. It's a rare opportunity to find a sucker. We can eat for three years after opening. How could we let the fat duck fly away? They are familiar with the terrain of the mountain. There was such a big commotion just now. It's impossible that they didn't notice it. They will definitely attack you in the second half of the night at the latest."
