Chapter 577 What if it's not possible?
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of children quietly emerged from the alley.
The big ones lead, and the small ones follow.
Some children were holding hands and comforting each other, while others were being held or carried by slightly older children.
These little children are mostly girls.
Lin Chang'er closed her eyes tightly. Without needing to think too much, she knew that these little girls were basically all abandoned.
Although both she and Wu Qingfeng have worked hard to improve the living conditions of baby girls in the county.
But there are always exceptions.
Although the children had all come out of the alley, their eyes were timid and they looked very uneasy, clearly still afraid.
Lin Chang'er took a deep breath and said, "I can take you away, but fighting the pirates might kill you. Are you afraid? If you are afraid of dying, go back now, and I will have no objection."
The older boy who was leading the group chimed in, "I'm not afraid to die."
The older children following closely behind echoed, "We're not afraid to die."
“But those younger brothers and sisters are still too young to fight the pirates. Can you take them with you? If so, we will only listen to you from now on.”
Lin Chang'er raised an eyebrow, finding it hard not to be moved.
Looking at the few toddlers still being held or carried, it's clear that without the protection of these older children, how could these little ones have survived until now?
But I still tentatively asked, "What if it's not possible?"
The older children looked at each other and fell into an eerie silence.
Finally, their eyes met, and they nodded to each other, as if they had made a difficult decision.
As usual, the older child spoke up: "Then we can't go with you. If we leave, the younger brothers and sisters will be left without anyone to take care of them. They will die."
It's clear that this child cherishes this opportunity, but even more so, he doesn't want to abandon his younger siblings who are not related to him by blood.
Lin Chang'er raised an eyebrow and looked at the other children behind him, "Is this the same decision you made?"
The children nodded in unison.
Wang Dalang said anxiously, "Heroine, these younger brothers and sisters are very pitiful. Some of them were thrown out right after they were born. It was only by Dazhuang and the others going door to door to beg for rice gruel that they were able to be raised with great difficulty."
"Take them with you! We'll all make money for you from now on, so take them with you!"
Seeing this, the children, whose hearts had died, were rekindled with hope and pleaded, "Heroine, we can do a lot of work, please take us with you! We will save our own food to feed our younger siblings who can't work, and we will never eat a single grain of your rice for nothing."
Looking at these children, big and small, who were not related by blood, leaning on each other and supporting one another, Lin Chang'er's heart, which she had always thought was indifferent, was actually beating very fast, and her eyes even became hot.
Seeing that the children were all looking at her expectantly, she nodded emphatically, "Okay, then I'll take them with me. But the adults won't be able to take care of them along the way. You can arrange for a few people to take the younger ones and hide in the grove at the entrance of town to wait for us."
"Everyone else, grab your weapons and come with us to the front to provide backup."
Upon hearing this, the children, both big and small, exclaimed, "That's great!"
Soon, they split into two groups. One group, with several children, either led by the hand or carried on their backs, ran towards the town entrance. The other group took weapons from Wang Dalang.
As they parted, the departing child pleaded with the older child who was leading the group, "Brother, you must come back to find us..."
