Chu Huizhou said that he was going to Chugong and asked them to lay out blankets and rest first.
Pei Yubing gathered her thin clothes with her slender hands, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She opened the curtain and took a look. The cool moonlight above her head shone on her beautiful face. She felt that the wind was inexplicably cooler tonight.
Suddenly, I saw a faint torch looming in the bamboo forest not far away, and after a while, there were waves of footsteps.
"Look! It's that carriage, and the lady has a lot of food in her hand!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Before the Pei sisters could react, a group of people surrounded Pei Yubing's carriage and begged.
"Girl, please give me some food, please. My child has been hungry for two days. He will die if he continues to be hungry!"
"I heard that you are a poor young lady. You will definitely be in need of delicious food when you get home. If you are not going to starve to death, why not just give us all the food in your hands!"
"You are definitely not short of this food, but we will really die if we don't have food! Please give us the food."
Listening to these wailings, Pei Yubing opened the curtain, stuck his head out, and saw the crowd of refugees in front of him. She hurriedly raised her eyes to look at the man's face, her pupils narrowed, and she saw that the leader was actually the woman she rescued today.
Unexpectedly, her good intentions during the day would actually become a reason for others to hurt her.
Chu Huizhou hadn't come back yet, so she had to calm down.
Pei Yubing tightened her hands, looked embarrassed, and tried to speak tactfully.
"The food we brought is only enough for a few of us. I'm afraid I can't share it with you."
"You obviously have food! How could you be like this? How could you just ignore it!"
Hearing this, this group of people pointed at her nose angrily and cursed, saying that the need for survival is higher than the condemnation of conscience.
"I thought I met a great benefactor, who doesn't care about the life and death of us ordinary people!"
"Yes, what a kind person, bah! If she doesn't give it, we will rob it!"
Some people's eyes were full of resentment and they raised their voices to incite everyone.
The people around him were moved by his few words, with fierce looks on their faces, and their eyes were full of lust when they looked at Pei Yubing.
Pei Shuxue tugged on her sleeves behind her and whispered in her ears.
"Give it to them."
Seeing these refugees gradually losing their minds, Pei Yubing knew that if he didn't give them food, they might take action in desperation. She pursed her lips, kept part of the dry food in the package, secretly handed it to Pei Shuxue beside her, and whispered.
"Get it."
Immediately, Pei Yubing distributed all the remaining food in the car to the refugees, pointed to the empty car and said.
"That's all that's left, no more."
Pei Yubing caught a glimpse of a skinny little girl in the crowd, and he felt pity for her. He took a piece of cake and handed it to her, saying softly: "Here you go, eat it quickly."
The little girl with dirty hair quickly snatched the pancake from her hand, wolfed it down, and spoke incoherently.
"Thanks……"
Pei Yubing raised her lips and smiled. Just as he was about to reach out and touch her head, he found a dark hand suddenly reaching over and snatching away the remaining cake from the little girl's hand without any explanation.
"Smelly kid, bring it to you!"
The man had a fierce look on his face and swallowed the cake in a few seconds.
Pei Yubing looked at the strong man, anger welling up in her heart, and her face instantly darkened with her hands behind her back.
"How can you compete with a child for food?"
The strong man glanced at her sideways, chewing the cake in his mouth without stopping.
The little girl rubbed her eyes and cried.
In the crowd, the sound of grabbing food was endless and noisy.
Pei Yubing felt sad and stood beside the carriage, trying to reason with the refugees.
"Folks, please believe that the imperial court will not give up on us, and there will be support soon. You have to believe in the imperial court, there will be food!"
"You lied! We have been waiting for so long, and we haven't even seen a single sign of relief food!"
"If the emperor really cares about the people, he should open the granaries and distribute food to us! What's the use of waiting until we all starve to death!"
"Don't listen to her, food is the most important thing right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I didn't know who was the first to take action. The refugees went crazy and snatched the rations from other people's hands, and they actually wanted to fight.
Chu Huizhou had just come back. When he saw the situation, he immediately understood the situation. He climbed onto the carriage with his hands and frowned, and said to the two sisters.
"What are you talking about with them? Get back in the car and sit down."
After they were seated securely, Chu Huizhou waved his long whip, the horses neighed, and then drove the carriage out of the crowd.
Pei Yubing failed to stand firm on the carriage and staggered as the carriage rushed out.
Chu Huizhou looked forward. He noticed her embarrassment when he found some time, and hooked Pei Yubing's belt with his long hand and sat down next to her.
Pei Yubing didn't have time to speak.
"Sit tight, your arm is hurt."
Chu Huizhou's tone was very cold, with an air of danger and inhumanity.
Only then did Pei Yubing see blood oozing out of his arm, and he felt a surge of pain when he looked at it.
As if by magic, Chu Huizhou took out a small blanket and covered Pei Yubing's legs. He held the reins with his other hand and kicked the horse's belly. The carriage sped away from this land of right and wrong.
"Why did you say that to them? Are you just waiting to be bullied?"
"Someone has to help them."
"Help?" Chu Huizhou didn't look sideways, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"You can only call for help if you can protect yourself."
Chu Huizhou's tone suddenly became extremely harsh. It was not that Pei Yubing didn't understand the reason for his anger, but he still felt aggrieved. His beautiful eyes trembled and he pursed his lips and retorted.
"If I were like you said, I wouldn't have saved you that day."
Chu Huizhou glanced sideways at her. Under the moonlight, his black eyes were burning like a bottomless lake.
"Yes, so I am grateful. Can I kowtow to you?"
"you……"
Chu Huizhou's expression seemed to have recalled something, his face became increasingly ugly, and he immediately closed his mouth as if he realized that his tone of voice was not right.
Both of them were silent.
The carriage gradually slowed down, and Chu Huizhou opened the curtain and looked at Pei Shuxue inside the carriage.
"Is there any trauma medicine?"
"Yes... Yu Bing, let me help you deal with your wound first."
Pei Shuxue had heard the conversation between the two while sitting in the car. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. Now everything has exceeded her expectations, and the direction of the story is unpredictable to her.
Pei Shuxue wiped the wound with a clean cloth, sprinkled it with medicinal powder, and bandaged the wound several times.
His cheap sister Pei Yubing was obviously distraught. She was usually most afraid of pain, but now she didn't say a word when the wound was being treated.
“You don’t need to spend your emotions on him.
Pei Shuxue said suddenly for no reason, pulling Pei Yubing back from his thoughts.
