Heiyan's dinner hadn't been settled yet, and the person who informed him outside came.

"Master Heiyan, the city lord invites you to go."

Heiyan was so impatient, he casually flipped over a piece of clothing and put it on before going out.

The main hall where the city lord meets his subordinates or guests is not far from the temple.The temple is located on the west side of the main hall, and the military camp is located on the south side of the main hall.Heiyan's residence is inside the barracks.

Hei Yan entered the hall, and at a glance, besides Jin Lie, the Great Elder also came.

When Jin Lie saw him, he cursed: "You actually put those bastards in!"

Hei Yan turned his eyes to the Great Elder, noncommittal.

The Great Elder said unhurriedly: "The remaining twenty or so people do not pose any threat."

Jin Lie yelled in dissatisfaction: "How do you know? Weeds need to be eradicated, and none of those people can stay!"

"Can't keep one?" The elder was annoyed by his stupidity, "Since you found out that those people entered the city, naturally someone told you that that person appeared! It took 600 years for the second one to appear. Is it possible that you are going to kill him because of your unfounded thoughts?"

Heiyan watched the show with cold eyes.What is Jin Lie so angry about?It was nothing more than that he obeyed the order of the Great Elder in this operation and lost his face.Do you really think of yourself as his dog?

When Jin Lie learned that the legendary master could strengthen his position, he finally let go of the last bit of dissatisfaction.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Heiyan began to explain the purpose of his trip: "In September this year, recruits over the age of ten will be recruited."

The elder said solemnly: "Yes, but children under the age of 15 are not allowed to be the main force, and the number cannot exceed a hundred."

Hei Yan raised his eyebrows: "At least [-]% of those kids outside are useless, I think it's not enough for me to recruit more."

The Great Elder felt relieved.More than half of the elders disagreed with this resolution, and he also disagreed. However, the situation was critical at that time, and in order to prevent Heiyan from killing, he had no choice but to meet his conditions.

Fortunately, Black Rock has extremely strict requirements on soldiers, which reduces the impact of this policy.

Li Hanlin released all the beasts, and told them to have fun by themselves, as long as they don't run out of the southeast hall, they went to work on their own.

After running up and down the entire Southeast Hall, Li Hanlin decided to only use the first floor.There are five rooms on the first floor, all of which have been tidied up.Li Hanlin asked the three of them to choose one of them as a bedroom, and he chose the one with the better light among the other two as his studio, and the last one was his bedroom.The kitchen, bathroom and other equipment on the first floor are all available, which saves the effort of cleaning the second floor.

Li Hanlin and Xiong Wa worked together to move in the huge piece of wood that was to be carved into a lion.This is basically the only luggage.After getting acquainted with the new environment, he can continue his work.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Hanlin went to the kitchen to cook.The kitchen has all kinds of ingredients and seasoning pots and pans.Li Han hurriedly made a stewed chicken with potatoes, eggplant with garlic, stir-fried river prawns, and a pot of corn and carrot soup.They are all the simplest home-cooked dishes. Li Hanlin was afraid that the little ones would have to wait too long, so he chose to cook them to save time.

As soon as the meal was served, Baofu ordered some servants to come in and carried three boxes.When I opened it, I saw a box full of children's clothes, a box full of carving tools, hundreds of carving knives and chisel shovels, in various shapes and sizes, as well as grinding and polishing. Tools are also fully equipped.The last box is money and things, all banknotes, in various denominations.

"These clothes are for the three children. The little one didn't think carefully and didn't prepare these. These tools have just been shipped from the workshop. If you don't agree with the little one, you can send the craftsmen to make them. In addition, you dismissed all the subordinates. Man, this money has to be handed over to you." Baofu said.

Li Hanlin thanked him and wanted to keep him for dinner.Although this Baofu was a bit more thoughtful, he was thoughtful and appropriate, which cannot be denied.Li Hanlin had no choice but to thank him for having prepared the children's clothes in time.In addition, those tools are not bad, but he is used to using his own, so he can use them again if necessary.

Baofu was flattered, he waved his hands hastily and shook his head.Even if he sat in this position, he was not qualified to eat at the master's table.But I was a little happy in my heart, this lord is really coaxing, so a few boxes of things that are nothing are enough.

After seeing off Baofu, several brats who had been greedy for a long time finally had their meal as they wished, and they all praised the delicious food.There is no wild rice in the forbidden area, so it is the first time for Big Eye to eat white rice, which is novel and happy.Except for chicken and corn, they had never eaten anything on the table, so Li Hanlin told them about the same ingredients.

The big eyes were eating and the tears were falling down, and stuffing things into the mouth while wiping the tears.Seeing him crying, Xiongwa burst into tears too.Only Hongmu ate calmly from beginning to end, but Li Hanlin saw her bright red eyes.

Li Hanlin couldn't be coaxed, so he thought to himself, let them cry.It is quite normal for people who have been in the dark for a long time to suddenly see the light and cry.

After the meal, Li Hanlin sorted out the clothes suitable for each of them.One sent a set of instructions to them to take a shower.After they took a long bath, Li Hanlin saw their true faces for the first time.

Hongmu's complexion is light brown, and the gray eyes reveal a coolness.Thin lips, slender phoenix eyes, and a slightly raised nose. She looks mean, but she is a beauty.Li Hanlin wanted to tie her hair up, but she refused.

"I want to cut it off."

Li Hanlin fiddled with the end of her hair, this girl's hair is not even pure black.

"Cut it shorter?"

Hong Mu looked up at him, and said calmly, "I'll just cut it like you."

Li Hanlin: "..."

In the end, Li Hanlin cut Hongmu's hair into mid-length hair that fits shoulder-length. It's the beginning of summer, and when the weather gets hotter, it can be tied up to cool off.

Big Eye was the second one to take a bath, and it lasted for two full hours.He sprayed himself with soap locusts to wash himself.I'm going to sleep in a brand new big soft bed tonight and it has to be washed and cleaned.

Big eyes, white skin, round face and big eyes.It's a pity that he is too thin to be human, otherwise he must be a cute little boy, Li Hanlin thought to himself.The big-eyed hair is messy, with some long and short, which is the result of cutting it out with a blade in the past.Li Hanlin trained him to be perfect, which just passed his ears.

Xiongwa and his sister Hongmu have the same skin color, but darker.This baby and Hongmu were printed on two molds.She has deep eye sockets and double eyelids, and her nose is not quite straight, but it is very straight.His hair looked like a dog had chewed on it, here and there, and there were even short stubbles in some places, which were all shaved by Hongmu.Li Hanlin couldn't help it, so he just shaved it off, and let him grow it back slowly.

No one in the palace could sleep that night except Li Hanlin.Wearing new clothes, covered with a thin blanket, lying in a comfortable bed to sleep, this scene is too dreamy, making them worry that once they go to sleep, they will still lie in that place accompanied by only hunger and cold when they wake up.

Early the next morning, Li Hanlin took the three of them outside for a stroll.Baofu kindly sent them a guide and a coachman.

The residential area is on the north side of the temple, and it is divided into three places. The grades of houses are low, medium and high. The types include wooden houses and stone houses, and the sizes are different.The commercial area is interspersed between every two residential areas, and the road is in the shape of a "well". Various shops line both sides of the road, selling clothes, food, curios...almost everything.

The development of commerce is not surprising, on the contrary, it is the layout plan that surprised Li Hanlin.The residences are clearly planned carefully, and it is inevitable to divide them into upper, middle and lower classes, because there is a gap between the rich and the poor.The commercial area is distributed between two residential areas of different grades. On the surface, it is convenient for transportation, but in fact it also has a role-weakening the barrier between people of different grades.People of different levels are not strictly segregated. Although there are many conflicts, the potential benefits cannot be underestimated.I don't know if the designer did it on purpose or accidentally.

The young man who led the way led them to the business district, and Li Hanlin got out of the car and wandered around with the three young men.Stopping and walking along the way, the three of them stared intently, but no one asked what they wanted tacitly.Li Hanlin followed behind, seeing which thing they liked so much, he secretly asked the guy to buy it.

The baby Xiong screamed excitedly when he saw something novel, which attracted the attention of passers-by.Li Hanlin blushed a little when he was seen, after all, he was obviously the parent of these children.Even so, he didn't make a sound to stop him, for fear of spoiling his interest.Instead, Hongmu was simple and rude, and directly slapped Xiongwa on the arm.Only then did the thick-skinned Xiong Wa realize his embarrassment, and turned to look at Li Hanlin with a blushing face, only to feel relieved when he saw that the other party did not intend to blame him.

Walking to the booth of Yiphui sugar figurines, Baby Xiong saw the colorful and different shapes of sugar figurines, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Before Hongmu could slap another slap, she heard a malicious mocking voice from behind: "It looks like he was raised by no parents, so uneducated. The inferior people dare to hang around here, do you have money?" ?”
