Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

The maids next to him twitched their mouths as they watched, and Ling Feng reluctantly persuaded him.

"Slow down and don't choke..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen beating his chest and stretching his neck. Ling Feng immediately handed him some water.

At this time, Lu Qingqing saw that all the buns in the beggar's hand had been eaten, and his eyes were still looking at the buns in Nanny Feng's hand.

She frowned and then asked softly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

When the beggar heard Lu Qingqing's words, he raised his eyes and saw that the woman in front of him was really beautiful. However, he paused for a moment and then continued to look at the food behind her.

"I...I was knocked unconscious and thrown into the wilderness. I haven't eaten for three days. Can you give me some food?" The beggar-like man said in a hoarse voice. There was just a hint of weakness in the voice.

After hearing his explanation, Lu Qingqing and everyone looked at him in confusion, with a hint of sympathy in their eyes. This man was really lucky...

Lu Qingqing waved to Nanny Feng and asked her to give the man some food and some hot water, and let him eat and leave on his own.

Ling Feng put the food in the man's hand and stood up to leave.

At this time, Lu Qingqing also sat by the fire and began to drink porridge. Baoer drank from the small porridge bowl while staring at the man under the tree in the distance, as if he was afraid that he would come to snatch food again.

"Bao'er..." Nanny Feng called her helplessly and smiled angrily.

Biyun was also serving his master's meal at the side, not paying attention to the man.

However, he still whispered softly in Lu Qingqing's ear, this man is really unlucky. He is still suffering so much at such an old age. If he hadn't met his master, he would not have survived tonight.

The Rou'er sisters looked at the man in the distance and felt sad in their hearts.

"Sister, hurry up and eat, don't look away, the master will leave soon!"

Rou'er turned around and smiled awkwardly, then picked up the bowl of porridge she handed over and took a sip. Although the two sisters were in trouble, the good manners of the ladies were still there.

The man in the distance had already eaten four buns and drank a bowl of warm water. Only then did he feel better. Holding the wooden bowl in one hand and supporting the tree trunk with the other, he struggled to get up and walked in the direction of Lu Qingqing. go.

Ling Feng saw him staggering towards his master and stood up quickly, blocking him.

The man was not angry. He forced a smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't offend your master. I just want to thank her personally."

"Ling Feng, just ask him to come over." Lu Qingqing's soft voice came, and Ling Feng turned sideways and let the man pass.

The man staggered forward with a wooden bowl, and Lu Qingqing found that his left foot was still a little lame.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving your life."

The man was about to kneel down as he spoke, but Lu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and interrupted him.

"No need to be polite, this lady can do it with just a little effort."

Seeing Biyun next to him holding an embroidered handkerchief to the tip of his nose, the man smiled awkwardly and then took two steps back.

He explained that he hadn't taken care of himself for a month. In addition, he was knocked unconscious and left here a few days ago. It was because of his fate that he met such a kind-hearted person like the young lady to save him.

Lu Qingqing just wrinkled the tip of her nose slightly, and then casually asked the man why he was left here. Is there any deep hatred? Don't you know that this will kill someone?

"Haha...they just want to kill me."

The man said with a sad smile.

Lu Qingqing asked him if he wanted to take him to report to the official. The man's eyes flashed, then he shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Then he quietly told everyone about his experience. He was originally a shopkeeper, working for his employer, and made some money.

This time, because he didn't trust others, his family fortune was all gone, his wife left him, and he turned around and married someone who plotted against him.

He didn't know until the end that he was plotted this time because of that woman. After half his life's efforts, he thought he had met the person who could be with him for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a femme fatale.

He was wrong!

When Lu Qingqing heard what he said, she sneered and shook her head, laughing that this man could still be so infatuated at this age!

"That woman is really cruel. She calculated other people's money and even took their lives!" Xia Yun beside him muttered angrily, and Rou'er and others nodded in agreement.

The man sighed with red eyes, and then knelt down in front of Lu Qingqing. He didn't know where he got the strength to kowtow to her suddenly.

"What are you doing?" Lu Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man in front of her sharply.

He could only hear him slowly raising his reddish forehead and saying: "Please give me some guidance. My home is gone. I don't want to go back anymore. I just want to find a place where I can rest." Just spend the rest of your life."

The man's words made Lu Qingqing feel embarrassed for a while. How did this make her...

Suddenly, Lu Qingqing remembered that the man had just said that he had been a shopkeeper before, and asked, how many years had he been a shopkeeper before?

The man was startled for a moment, then replied blankly that he had been the shopkeeper of a restaurant for seven or eight years.

"Well, I want to find a suitable place to open a shop this time. I wonder if you are interested in doing something for me?"

The man looked over blankly, as if confirming the authenticity of Lu Qingqing's words, "Do you really mean what you said?"

"Of course, I never laugh when I talk. You can think about it."

The man kowtowed solemnly, then raised his head and said respectfully: "Young lady, you don't have to think about it. I am willing to sell myself to you. I just ask that the master will not give up and give me a place to retire."

Lu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled and said softly that it was not difficult. As for whether to sell herself or not, she didn't insist on it. Unexpectedly, the man insisted on it. He had seen all kinds of life and had nothing to worry about.

He was childless and yet he was so virtuous that no one would accept him even if he went to the dental shop to sell himself. He might as well sell himself to a lady and just want a bowl of stable food.

"Okay! In that case, I will accept you. When we get to the next town, I will ask Ling Feng to take you to see the injuries on your body."

Lu Qingqing casually gave the man a few words and asked Ling Feng to get him his cloak to keep him warm from the cold.

"You come with me."

After saying that, Lingfeng took him to the carriage at the back. Ziyue found a thick cloak from the luggage at the back and handed it to him.

"I'll just call you Uncle Xie."

The man responded happily: "Oh, good, thank you very much."

Ziyue and Lingfeng looked at each other, then shook their heads lightly towards him.
