My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 81 Then build another one!
On the second day, Lu Yi got up early in the morning, full of energy.

After making friends with the wealthy Zhen family, he had a stable buyer.

Now that the last shortcoming of his business plan had been filled, a burden that had been weighing on his mind was finally resolved and he slept soundly.

Lu Yi politely declined Zhen Yi's repeated attempts to retain her. Lu Yi took the five hundred indentures and Lu Yi and others with her and prepared to leave the city and meet up with the one hundred coachmen at the post station outside the city to return to Mayi.

Now the day of his wedding and his going out to the frontier for business is not far away, and he still has a lot of work to arrange in Jiuyuan, so time is quite tight.

But just when Lu Yi and his companions walked out of the city gate.

A dirty little figure blocked the way of Lu Yi and others.

The child was ragged and skinny, and his gender could not be identified, except for his pair of unusually large eyes.

He did not say anything, but just stretched out his skinny little hand and spread it into a palm. However, his eyes did not have the lifeless numbness of ordinary refugees, but instead were filled with a timid agility.

"Hungry..." This short word struck Lu Yi's heart and made him pause.

"Where did this little wild kid come from? Get out of the way! Don't block the road!" Manager Zhen, who was seeing Lu Yi off on behalf of Zhen, thought that Lu Yi was being stopped by the child, so he immediately reached out to chase him away.

The child was so weak that before Manager Zhen could even touch him, the wind blew him to the ground.

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still gave a bitter smile, walked around the child and prepared to leave.

But when the child saw Lu Yi was about to leave, he didn't know where he got the strength from, he suddenly jumped up and hugged Lu Yi's thighs. The dirt and dust on his body immediately left a human-shaped mud print on Lu Yi's brand new pants.

"I'm hungry..." The child still stared with his timid eyes. His thin body somehow managed to gain strength that actually squeezed Lu Yi's thigh so hard that it hurt.

"You little wild boy, are you so bold? How dare you offend the distinguished guest of the Zhen family!"

"Find a fight!"

Manager Zhen frowned and stretched out his hand to slap the child.

Just when the child was about to be slapped away by Manager Zhen, a strong hand suddenly reached out and tightly grasped his hand.

Manager Zhen suddenly felt as if his palm was being held by an iron hoop that was tightening continuously. The pain was so severe that he almost couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.

"It's okay..." Lu Yi looked expressionlessly at Manager Zhen, whose forehead was sweating from the pain, and then let go of his hands.

Then, he took out a cake from Lu Bu's bag behind him, squatted in front of Xiaohuazi, and gently handed the cake into his arms.

"Eat..." As he said that, Lu Yi reached out and gently touched his head to comfort him, regardless of the dirt and smell on his body.

When the child saw the food, he didn't bother to say anything. He just picked up the pancake with shining eyes and took a big bite.

When Lu Yi saw him eating the pancake, he finally smiled and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, the familiar feeling of restraint came from his thighs again, but this time the force was very gentle, without any pain or discomfort. Instead, it brought him a hint of warm body temperature in this cold early spring.

"More..." The child pointed at the boy and girl lying next to him and another boy who was slightly older than him, and then said timidly to Lu Yi.

"Fengxian, give me the bag." Lu Yi sighed and ordered Lu Bu behind him.

"Yes, brother." Upon hearing this, Lu Bu immediately untied the bag full of biscuits on his back and handed it to Lu Yi.

"Here, these are all for you..." After Lu Yi untied the bundle and showed the child a dozen or so pancakes inside, the child let go of his thighs, snatched the bundle, and a joyful smile finally appeared on his originally numb face.

He turned around and ran back, but turned back halfway, imitated an adult and kowtowed to Lu Yi respectfully, then stumbled towards his family.

"Brother-in-law, your generosity may lead to bad results with good intentions. Look..." Just as Lu Yi turned around and prepared to continue on his way, Zhang Xun beside him grabbed him and pointed in the direction of the child.

It turned out that the equally hungry refugees around saw that the child had received a lot of food, and they rushed towards the child and his weak family with ferocious faces.

"Brother, these refugees want to steal the cakes you give to the children. What should we do?" Lu Bu also realized something was wrong, so he asked Lu Yi.

"Don't steal. My parents and brother haven't eaten yet..." At this time, the refugees had already covered the child's thin figure. The desperate cry of the child came from the crowd, which made Lu Yi suddenly feel an uncontrollable anger. "What should I do?"

"What the hell can I do?"

"Why don't you go and rescue that child and his family!"

After traveling through time, Lu Yi, who had always been friendly to others, suddenly became angry, which made Lu Bu and Zhang Xun stunned.

This nameless anger that came from nowhere made Lu Yi's face extremely gloomy.

Seeing that Lu Bu and Zhang Xun did not react, he simply abandoned everyone and rushed alone towards the crowd of refugees that had gathered into hundreds of people.

These refugees had been hungry for a long time and their hands and feet were already weak, but Lu Yi was young and strong, and he quickly squeezed into the crowd.

Lu Bu and Zhang Xun finally reacted and quickly followed Lu Yi with the coachmen.

Only Manager Zhen, whose wrist was hurt by Lu Yi's clamp, saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he made a grim face and spat at Lu Yi's back.

"A bunch of country bumpkins are fighting for a little beggar! Ugh!"

"Don't snatch, don't snatch...!"

Lu Yi picked up the two refugees in the center of the encirclement with one hand each and threw them aside, revealing the thin figure of the child who was tightly surrounded inside.

His ragged clothes had been torn into rags.

There were also dozens of bruises and scratches on the exposed body.

The little face that was originally covered by dust revealed its original pretty appearance.

It turned out to be a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Although the little girl was beaten all over, she still covered herself with the bag given by Lu Yi, and would rather die than move.

What's in it is not only a dozen cakes, but also the hope for her family to survive.

No one can take hope away from her!

Seeing this, Lu Yi rushed forward to protect the girl under his body, then quickly took off his cloak, wrapped the girl, and picked her up.

At this time, Lu Bu and others also hurriedly arrived and protected the girl's family among the refugees.

"Brother, what should we do with these refugees?" asked Lu Bu.

Because the targets were refugees whose limbs were weak from hunger and who posed no threat, Lu Bu and his companions did not take any action but simply separated the crowd.

"Alas... they are also looking for food. Although we cannot take care of them forever, it is good to take care of them for a while. Order everyone to leave the rations they brought with them to these refugees. We have money on us and can buy food along the way."

Seeing that the situation was under control, Lu Bu gently held the girl, who was so thin that she was almost weightless, in his arms and walked out without looking back.

"Brother will take you away!"

"Where are you taking me, brother?"

"Brother will take you home!"

"But my house has been burned down by officials who couldn't collect food."

“Then build another one!”

Lu Yi said viciously with gritted teeth!
