Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 19

Judging from the hairstyle, this should be a little girl, who looks only four or five years old, skinny and skinny, with a face so small that it seems that there are only two big eyes left, staring straight at the bread in Jiang Qiongxing's hand, swallowing, and not stepping forward, just watching.

Jiang Qiongxing glanced at the cake in his hand in embarrassment, and Shi Yueren's words just now rang in his ears.

She hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't bear it, she broke off a small piece from the bread in her hand, and handed it to the little girl: "Here."

The little girl's eyes lit up, as if a wooden doll was suddenly infused with life, she carefully moved over to take the piece of bread, and said in a soft voice, "Thank you brother..."

Jiang Qiongxing felt sore, seeing the child so hungry and knowing to thank her in advance, it can be seen that she was also a child from a well-educated family.

Under natural disasters, no one can escape.

Jiang Qiongxing thought that his little action in the dark would have no effect, and was about to continue eating his own food, but several people surrounded him with a whimper.

"Little virtuous person, please do me a favor..."

"I haven't eaten for three days, little brother, help me."

"Look at my baby, it's only two months old, and I don't have milk anymore..."

Where did these people come from?
She was so frightened that she stood up and hid to the side: "Don't come here, I don't have anything to spare!"

Everyone turned a deaf ear to her, and still scrambled to get closer to her. The suffocating turbid sour smell came to her face. Jiang Qiongxing resisted the urge to vomit, and retreated all the way to the gravel field by the roadside, almost spraining her feet.

In the end, she still failed to keep the half of the bread she had left, and the refugees who surrounded her were willing to slowly disperse until she confirmed that she really had no food in her hands.

Jiang Qiongxing hugged his kettle, and walked back in the dark with lingering fear, regretting that he did not obey Uncle Shi's words, which made his little surplus food even less.

Fortunately, there are still a few pieces in the luggage...

and many more!

She returned to the original place, stared at the empty ground with the light of the fire not far away, and turned around in disbelief.

What about my burden?

The people who had just gathered around to beg for the bread took the small piece they had snatched and lay back on their own. They were all skinny, with only a few rags on their bodies, and they couldn't hide anything. Obviously, these people didn't steal her bag.

Jiang Qiongxing raised his eyes.

Although she took a few steps back just now, she did not forget her belongings. The distance she left was no more than ten meters, and she came back in less than half a minute. With such a little effort, who can steal her baggage?

She stood in a daze among the refugees, dazed for a while, then tentatively walked forward for a while, her eyes swept over the crowd lying on both sides of the road, trying to find out the familiar baggage among them.

Unfortunately, nothing.

Jiang Qiongxing sighed annoyedly, and glanced back.

Before she knew it, she had already gone a long way. In order to prevent Shi Yueren from finding her when he came back, it was better not to run around.

As for the baggage... Well, go back and ask the people nearby if they have seen it.

Making up his mind, Jiang Qiongxing started to walk back, but within a few steps, he suddenly heard a weak exclamation from behind.

She instinctively turned her head.

Not far away, a girl who looked about her age was dragged by an old man in shabby clothes and staggered to the side of the road.

"Let go...I don't know you..." The girl struggled softly, but couldn't get rid of the old beggar's hand.

Not far from them was a bonfire. Many people were sitting there, but they seemed to be deaf, and no one came to help.

Jiang Qiongxing frowned.

It may be that the girl struggled too much, and the old beggar got impatient and hit her calf hard with the wooden stick in the other hand.

With a scream, she knelt down on the ground, and could only let the other party drag her into the shadow where the light of the fire could not reach.

Jiang Qiongxing couldn't bear it anymore, and strode over: "Hey, old man, what are you doing?"

The old beggar turned his head, glanced at her, and said with disdain: "The girl I bought with money, you can do whatever you want, what's your business?"

"I'm not—ah!" The girl was about to defend herself, but the beggar hit her face with a stick, forcing her to swallow the rest of her words.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Qiongxing got angry from his heart, grabbed his wooden stick with his hands, and slammed it on his back unceremoniously, "You are so poor and still buy a girl? Get lost!"

The old beggar was pale and emaciated, he had been starving for a few days, where was her opponent, seeing that his only weapon had been snatched away, he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he shrank his neck and ran away.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Qiongxing bent down and pulled the girl up.

"It's okay..." she said softly, "It's just that my foot is a little sprained, thank you."

"You're welcome, then take this, I'm going back." Jiang Qiongxing handed her the stick.

"Thank you..." The girl stood up with the support of a wooden stick, and Jiang Qiongxing realized that the other party was half a head taller than herself.

The ten-year-old girl has already started to twitch, and she looks like a tall and thin bamboo pole. She looks cleaner than most of the refugees, especially her eyes, which are very vivid under the firelight, which is completely different from the dull and numb eyes of other refugees.

"Little brother, I don't think I've seen you before." She looked at Jiang Qiongxing and smiled.

"Uh, I'm usually at the back." Jiang Qiongxing felt guilty for a second, and pointed back vaguely, "I ran to the front today because I was looking for something."

"Oh..." The girl nodded, "What are you looking for? Maybe I can help you."

"My burden is gone as soon as I turn my head." Jiang Qiongxing, who had already planned to give up, regained a glimmer of hope.

"What kind of baggage? Is it expensive?" the girl asked.

"The blue furoshiki is not expensive, it just contains two pieces of clothes and a pack of dry food." Jiang Qiongxing sighed, "Forget about the clothes. If I don't have dry food, I will starve to death these days..."

If Shi Yueren knew about this, he would definitely laugh at her severely.

If she knew this, she shouldn't have given that little girl food!
But when he thought of the poor child biting his finger, Jiang Qiongxing became discouraged again.

"Ah..." The girl thought for a while, "I seem to have seen someone walking there with a package just now, and it seems to be blue."

She pointed her finger up the road.

"Really?"

"I'll take you there," the girl tilted her head. "After a while, that person shouldn't have gone far."

"Thank you!" Jiang Qiongxing was overjoyed when the situation turned around.

"It's nothing, it's not easy seeing you alone, what about your family?" the girl asked.

Jiang Qiongxing said without hesitation: "I went to fetch water."

"Now?" The girl was surprised.

"He moves very fast." Jiang Qiongxing couldn't say he was a cultivator, so he only said vaguely.

The girl didn't look into it carefully either, she let out an "oh" and continued to lead her forward.
