Chapter 589 -589, Paradise (4 more)
For those women and children, this departure marked the beginning of a new life, a different story, far from the bleakness that had enveloped their days till now.
They had seen their mothers cry alone too many times, and the sensible ones knew that becoming bandits was wrong, a mistake.
As for who their fathers were, they themselves couldn’t tell, not even their mothers could. They had never really thought about it.
All they wished for was a better future where they could live without becoming bandits, and perhaps then their mothers would love them more.
When they stopped to eat noodles at a roadside stall, the stallholder was both irritated and amused.
Amused by the big business that had come his way, irritated because these people really stank.
They were filthier and more disorderly than beggars.
Xie Zhinuan sat in the main hall, watching the children and women divided into two groups, squatting in the corner. The noodles with shredded meat and egg were the most delicious the children had ever had; no one fought over the food, and no man was there to slap them from behind, scaring their hearts into leaping out of their chests.
They even got a meat bun each.
A meat bun… plump and white, they were too reluctant to grab it, fearing they would dirty it.
Xie Zhinuan sat on a stool, her gaze lingering on the children and women but pausing a bit longer on Lu Yuyu.
This woman was different from the others.
But exactly how she was different, Zhinuan couldn’t put her finger on it.
She sent the guards ahead to Gaocheng County to buy clothes from the ready-to-wear shop. They needn’t be too fancy, just wearable. They wouldn’t enter the county that night, instead, they would find an inn outside of town to prepare plenty of hot water so that everyone could have a good wash before entering the town and returning to the estate the next day.
“Miss, those children have lice on them, you see…” Chunyu spoke softly.
“They have lice?” Xie Zhinuan pursed her lips, “Then let’s boil some medicinal soup. If anyone is willing to shave their hair off, go ahead and shave it all!”
The bandit den was dirty, messy, and smelly. Once these children got back, they would need a thorough check-up, and medication would have to be prescribed to help them recover their health.
Especially the few girls.
“Yes!”
By the time they reached the inn outside Gaocheng County, the innkeeper had already prepared everything warmly welcomed Xie Zhinuan inside.
“As the young man instructed, hot water and clothes are ready, and even the barber is waiting, Miss, please take a look…”
Xie Zhinuan looked back at the children and said softly, “You all have lice, so it’s essential to clean up properly before you can sleep in the bed. You have two options, shave off your hair and let it grow back slowly, or keep your hair, but…”
“I’m willing to shave!”
“I am, too!”

Even a few little girls stepped forward, timidly whispering, “I’m willing, too!”
Xie Zhinuan was a bit surprised but also somewhat worried.
Was this considered a hidden danger?
She quickly gathered her thoughts, “Thank you for the trouble, innkeeper. Have the maids bathe the girls, and after they are done, take them to eat. Burn the clothes they change out of!” Xie Zhinuan paused, then added, “Keep the women separate, don’t let them mingle together!”
“Yes!”
The children were taken away, first to have their heads shaved and then to bathe.
Once out, each with a little bald head, they seemed somewhat embarrassed.
But after cleaning up, they felt comfortable all over, especially when they saw the food; they hardly knew where to put their hands.
“You’re lucky, meeting someone as good as the young lady. She’s bought you clothes and shoes, and even prepared food in advance. Sit down quickly and eat, then sleep early!” the maidservant said, standing to the side.
The children hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and wolfed down their meal.
