Chapter 301 38
However, half a month ago, the town was attacked by a group of monsters that migrated due to the war among monks in the north. Many were killed and many were injured. Only a hundred people managed to escape.
They originally wanted to flee to Yao City above for refuge, but... three months ago, Bai Zhen angered the city lord because of a fundraising issue.
At the moment, there are only a hundred or so survivors, and they were sent away by Yaocheng because of insufficient space and resources in the city.
A group of mortal refugees were waiting outside the city for help, with nowhere to turn and no one dared to offend the city lord to help them.
Only the owner of the Jian's Tea House who was passing by could not bear to see them desperate, so he lent them a helping hand and brought them to the farm outside the city.
It is said that the owner of the manor has someone behind him and has a grudge against City Lord Yao, which is why he is willing to accept them.
But... they all used to have wealthy families and lived an idyllic life that was envied by the surrounding towns, but now they have become tea-picking slaves?
It was hard to accept for a moment and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
When the housekeeper saw this, his eyes sparkled and he said kindly that there was no rush and they could talk about it after dinner.
Everyone followed him to get the porridge as if they had been pardoned.
Yi Chi followed the crowd and went there. When he got to the porridge stall, he saw that the food was quite rich, with plenty of meat porridge and vegetarian buns, and a plate of pickled mustard tuber for each person.
Which refugee receives this kind of treatment?
Everyone was very moved, their eyes turned green, they touched their hungry stomachs, and repeatedly praised the owner of the manor for his kind heart.
The housekeeper brought three people to personally prepare the porridge and the team was divided into four teams. Yi Chi was in the second and third team.
The two people in front were holding bowls and food while walking and wolfing down the food. Yi Chi felt that he was also hungry. The housekeeper served the porridge and Yi Chi reached out his hand, but the other party suddenly took the bowl away.
Yi Chi paused and raised his head timidly.
The housekeeper stared at her face and asked after a while, "How old are you?"
Yi Chi: “…thirty-eight.”
She arrived suddenly, in her original appearance, and with no materials around, she could only make herself a little darker, but she was still noticed by the housekeeper.
Fortunately, the people around them were only focused on the porridge and no one paid attention to what they were saying.
The butler originally wanted to ask something, but when he saw the people behind Yi Chi peeking their heads in, he narrowed his eyes, stopped asking, and handed the bowl to her.
Yi Chi reached out to take it, and the other party raised his middle finger and touched Yi Chi's hand——
But I didn't touch it.
Because Yi Chi and the housekeeper were pushed away by a huge force, a "crackling" sound was heard, and pots, pans, rice and porridge were scattered all over the floor accompanied by screams.
Yi Chi looked up and saw the angry and immature version of Jian Xiurong going crazy. He had a mean look on his face and a sarcastic voice.
"Eat, eat, eat! If it's yours, then eat it. Are useless refugees qualified to eat our Jane's things? Get lost!"
He kicked the porridge bucket to the ground and punched the bun basket to pieces.
The buns were rolling everywhere, but the refugees, dizzy and starving, didn't care about all that. They just bent down and frantically stuffed the buns into their mouths.
Jane's face turned red with shame, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go forward and hit someone.
The housekeeper hurriedly tried to stop him along with the guards and servants around him, "Master! What are you doing? These refugees from Baizhen are all poor people. Master is kind and is helping them. How could you knock them down?"
Jian Xiurong was not tall at the time, but had a bad temper and was very energetic, like a stubborn donkey. It took four big men to hold her down.
He bared his teeth and claws, thrashing around like a live fish on a chopping board. He said fiercely, "Let me go! Let me go! You lowly servants dare to stop me? I will kill you all!"
"Sell! Sell everything!"
"And these beggars, so dirty, are they unworthy of entering the teahouse? Get them all out!"
The scene was extremely chaotic and Yi Chi felt quite confused for a moment.
She didn't fight with others for the buns. Instead, she bent down to pick up the broken bowl on the ground and took advantage of the chaos to serve herself a bowl of meat porridge.
He leaned against the wall with one leg propped up, blowing hot air while looking at Jane's embarrassed face.
A 38-year-old beggar, so leisurely.
