At the same time, Jiang Wan and the others had arrived at the nearest town, Yongba City.
Yongba City is not far from Jiuzhou, so this town is not as wealthy as those towns in the past.
The closer you go to Jiuzhou, the poorer the people here become, because the closer you get to Jiuzhou, the more barren the fields there become.
When Jiang Wan and the others entered the city, there were not many pedestrians on the streets because of the cold weather.
Qi Chu was familiar with them and enthusiastically took them to a restaurant.
"This restaurant tastes good. I used to eat here often when I passed by."
"Miss Qi often goes out and wanders?"
Song Jiuli's big eyes were full of curiosity. Putting aside the grudge just now, she had a very good attitude toward Qi Chu.
"yes."
Qi Chu clenched the sword in his hand and said proudly: "I have loved wielding swords and guns since I was a child.
My family had nothing to do with me, they only told me to go back during the holidays. "
"Miss Qi is so brave."
Jiang Wan spoke from the bottom of her heart. Not many people her age dared to go out alone.
What's more, Qi Chu is a beautiful girl. It's not that she discriminates against girls, but that pretty girls are often more likely to be targeted by bad guys when they walk outside.
"Pretty sister, please stop praising me. If I hadn't met you, I might have fallen into trouble this time!"
Qi Chu is still self-aware. This time she was a little impulsive and offended the person who probably hated her to death.
So many people were sent out. If she hadn't met them, she might have lost her life this time.
"Everything is fate."
Facing Song Jiuyuan's confused gaze, Jiang Wan ordered a few dishes with a smile and waited for Qi Chu to go out to find the waiter.
Song Jiuyuan, who was sitting next to Jiang Wan, lowered his voice and said, "Wanwan, this is not like your style."
Take the previous poisonous incident as an example. If it weren't for Song Jiuli being bitten, Jiang Wan wouldn't be so active.
"Eye edge."
Jiang Wan blinked her eyes mysteriously, "I think Qi Chu suits my eyes very well."
"as long as you are happy."
Song Jiuyuan didn't believe the reasons she gave, but he believed Jiang Wan would not harm them, so he respected her decision.
The two of them bit their ears in a low voice and seemed to have a good relationship. Mrs. Song's smile made creases appear at the corners of her eyes.
"Mom, can you be more obvious?"
Song Jiuli twitched her mouth silently, and even a fool could see the reason for her mother's expression.
Mrs. Song rolled her eyes angrily, "You stupid kid don't understand."
The better the relationship between Wanwan and Yuan'er, the happier she will be as a mother.
Jiang Wan was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't realize that Madam Song's eyes were wrong.
Song Jiuyuan noticed it, but when he lowered his eyes and looked at her fair and pretty face, a sweetness surged in his heart for no reason.
"I ordered this restaurant's signature dish. If it's not enough, just tell me."
Qi Chu strode in with a hearty smile on his face. It was hard not to like such a bright girl.
"Enough is enough!"
Jiang Wan pulled Qi Chu to sit down, "Don't be too polite. If you order too much, it will be a waste."
"I listen to my beautiful sister."
Qi Chu had a good impression of Jiang Wan and simply sat next to Jiang Wan, but for some reason, she and Song Jiuchi didn't like each other.
Even if their eyes meet, they will soon separate, as if Tomoe has to know each other.
Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan naturally did not miss this scene. They looked at each other and pretended not to notice.
After dinner, Qi Chu paid the money quickly and left the restaurant. She suggested:
"It's getting late, and it's too cold in the wilderness. You can rest at an inn in the city for the night."
"you're right."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly. Before they got on the carriage, they saw a girl kneeling opposite the restaurant.
Behind the girl lay a man who was bloodless from the cold. The sign in front of her said "Sell your body to bury your father."
"This girl is so pathetic."
Song Jiuchi muttered something casually, but Qi Chu happened to hear it, and she twitched her mouth silently.
"It's no wonder that you mistakenly thought that I deliberately implicate you. You are indeed a bit blind."
"What do you mean?!!"
Song Jiuchi was inexplicably squeezed and stared at Qi Chu angrily.
"It seems I didn't offend you, why did you say I'm blind?"
"If you say you are blind, you are blind."
Qi Chu snorted slightly, looking a little arrogant, which made Jiang Wan who was watching the show dumbfounded.
Song Jiuchi pursed his lips in annoyance, "Just now I thought you were a very kind person, and that's why you went to rescue those innocent girls.
Now you turn a blind eye to the poor people and call me blind. I really misjudged you! "
Probably because of his anger with the other party, Song Jiuchi almost lost his mind!
neat and smart:……
She twitched her mouth speechlessly and looked at Jiang Wan and others beside her, "Pretty sister, what do you think?"
"Li'er, tell me."
Jiang Wan flipped through the plush gloves in his hand casually and glanced at Song Jiuyuan.
It was clear in his eyes, and the two of them knew what the other was thinking without opening their mouths.
Song Jiuli glanced at Song Jiuyuan and realized that he didn't stop her, so she whispered:
"That girl lost her father at a young age and has no money for burial. It's really pitiful."
Mrs. Song:...
I can't have this stupid girl anymore.
Qi Chu suddenly looked like a fool, and Song Jiuchi said angrily:
"What's that look in your face?"
"Just look at the look in the eyes of the person who took advantage of you."
Qi Chu folded his hands in a leisurely manner, "I like to fight injustices, but I can't help everyone.
This girl has been kneeling opposite this restaurant for nearly half a month. I remember that a few days ago, a businessman who was passing by from out of town kindly helped her. "
"how come?!"
Song Jiuli widened her eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Wan with a confused expression.
"Sister-in-law, is there really someone who would be so ruthless just to make money?"
"Silly girl."
Jiang Wan sighed quietly, "Miss Qi is right. Look carefully at the girl's exposed hands."
"Her hands are tender and tender."
Song Jiuli muttered and glanced at her hands with some discomfort. Because of being exiled, her pampered little hands now had some calluses.
In addition, it was cold outside in winter, and her fingers even developed frostbite.
"Look at the words written in front of her again."
Song Jiuyuan gave a faint reminder. Song Jiuchi looked over and realized that the handwriting that said sell your body and bury your father was very elegant.
A girl who can learn good calligraphy must have a good family background. No matter how poor she is, she won't sell herself to bury her father, right?
"Pretty sister, you and your wife are smart."
Qi Chu glanced at Song Jiuchi and said angrily: "If you help her today, it will only help the people behind her.
You know, the bodies behind her are changed frequently. "
"What?!!"
Song Jiuchi expressed that he was shocked. The young boy's outlook was refreshed again, and he felt that he had been gaining knowledge in the past six months.
