But my benefactor is so young and looks so easy-going, he shouldn't mind. With so much food and a big family, they shouldn't care.
That's what they thought, and their eyes seemed to be on Keqing but in fact they were on the pile of food.
In their opinion, Keqing would not refuse them. After all, having saved them, she would not let them starve to death. She could not move so much food away. After asking symbolically, the remaining food would all be theirs.
However, Keqing just looked at everyone and unexpectedly refused.
"Thirty kilograms per person is enough. If you save a little, it will be enough for you to get to Tongzhou Prefecture."
Chapter 549: Do you think you are so shameless? (1 more)
"What can thirty kilograms do..."
Someone licked his lips and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly:
"Thirty kilograms is not even enough to fill a stomach... Everyone is starving, and this little food is not enough to nourish the body and restore strength."
As soon as this was said, some people echoed it, yes, what can thirty kilograms of food do.
Although this amount of food would have been enough to last for a month or two before the drought, in this dire situation, saving a little would help them last longer.
But the prerequisite is that they don’t have piles of food in front of them and they are out of ammunition and food.
However, with so much food in front of him, he could only eat about 30 kilograms and still could not feel full. It was inevitable that he would feel dissatisfied with this situation.
Why? There is so much food there, why should we give them only 30 kilograms?
However, Keqing just looked at them.
"The guilt of possessing a treasure is beyond one's control."
Keqing glanced at everyone.
"Thirty kilograms of food is enough. Any more is beyond your capacity."
"Food is the primary need of the people. It is understandable that people want to have enough to eat, but..."
"Others are pale and skinny, but you are shiny and energetic?"
"Other refugees are eager to dig up the bark under the trees, but you have bags of food on you..."
Keqing paused.
"Do you think you can keep the food you have at that time?"
Keqing asked back, and everyone was choked up when she said that.
How could they not know what refugees look like? Just looking at the hungry wolves they looked like just now, it was easy to imagine that everyone was like mad wild dogs.
If the situation were reversed, and other refugees saw the food in their hands turned upside down, would they also be attacked like before?
"If we are full and have strength, why should we be afraid that they can't rob us!"
"Yes, we are more than a hundred people. How can we be afraid of those refugees? Everyone has eaten and drunk enough to conserve their strength, but they can't protect the food on their bodies..."
Everyone had their reasons, but Keqing blew their cover.
"Do you believe this?"
"Do you really think you can protect the food?"
Keqing looked at the more than one hundred people, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people. Are just a hundred people too many?
Not much...
Every refugee wave recorded in history has involved thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and just one hundred people is simply insignificant among the large number of refugees.
Putting so much food in their hands would only lead to a lot of scramble for it.
They did not have a guard like theirs, nor did they have swords, so they were unable to protect the food.
Even if there was food, even if they could barely defend it, Keqing would not give them any.
They will just keep this batch of grain in their hands and hoard it for several years just like those wealthy families.
But if it falls into my hands, I can save more people.
She didn't know what the situation was in Tongzhou Prefecture, but looking at these people and those ogres, she was afraid that more people would be in urgent need of food.
Therefore, leaving behind 30 kilograms is enough. If you eat sparingly, you can survive for two months. Of course, it is impossible to eat your fill.
This doesn't mean that she would let them die. Once they arrive in Tongzhou Prefecture, she will naturally solve the refugee problem.
I saved these people and gave them enough food. They have hands and feet. How can they not survive when I reach my destination?
Keqing thought so, but some people didn’t think so.
"You said it so well, but you just don't want to give us food?"
"My dear, there is so much food here, can't you give us some?"
Keqing looked at the people who were talking and said nothing.
【Li San】
【
A native of Lijia Village, 36 years old. 】
[Loyalty -2]
……
【Wang Ergou】
【From Wangjia Village, 30 years old】
[Loyalty -5]
The information above their heads came into view.
Keqing didn't say anything, but looked at them with calm eyes, as if she could see through their thoughts, causing those who were complaining to suddenly not dare to say anything.
But soon, they realized that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. There was nothing wrong with them just wanting to grab some food to survive.
After all, doesn't this little girl just not want to give them food?
Thinking of these people, I was very dissatisfied, so I started to nag
"My dear little benefactor, you are here. What are you afraid of? Those refugees are in a big group. Let's fight and kill them."
"At worst, you can just stay here. As long as you don't go out, why would you worry about someone robbing you?"
"That's right, the ogres are no match for you, so why are you afraid of them?"
They were shouting, obviously not forgetting Keqing's methods.
Where did this little girl come from? She is dressed elegantly, has an extraordinary temperament, and is so skilled and strong.
When they rescued them before, they saw that guy easily broke the prison pillar that imprisoned them. It was a piece of wood as thick as an arm, but it was broken so easily as if breaking a reed.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
So the few of them just kept nagging and complaining, but did not dare to take any action. Instead, they took advantage of the fact that Keqing was a little girl and tried to "kidnap" her.
After all, she is just a little girl. Although she is very strong, there are so many people talking so confidently. She can't kill them all, as they didn't eat humans.
"You don't want to occupy all this food!"
"This is too selfish! You can't even move so much food!"
Seeing their sharp words, Keqing didn't buy it. She stood up, raised her eyelids and looked at the people who spoke.
"I am not your relative, nor your close friend, nor your distant relative or neighbor."
"You are just strangers to me. I feel that I have done my best by saving you and giving you food."
Keqing sighed and stroked her sleeves.
"But you are too greedy. Not only do you want all the food and occupy things that you shouldn't have, you also want me to protect you all the time."
Keqing looked at the people who spoke strangely, but their loyalty to her dropped sharply in a moment.
"I think I've been pretty good to you. I saved you, so it's okay for you to ask for compensation. Why do you think it's your right..."
Keqing said coldly.
"I will always protect you... Why? Because you are so shameless?"
After hearing what Keqing said, Wang Ergou's face turned dark and he felt a little embarrassed.
She was just a little girl, and she actually scolded him.
There was a flicker in his eyes and he felt a little unhappy, but he still spoke righteously.
"That's right. We can't let you take all the food by yourself!"
"I know you saved us, but let's be honest. You can't carry this much food by yourself. You might as well give me more..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain at the tip of his tongue. Wang Ergou cried out in pain, and half of his tongue suddenly popped out of his mouth.
"what--"
He covered his mouth, his mouth full of blood, and his face looked terrified.
"N-N-"
Keqing looked at her and tilted her head.
"Are you still inciting others? Do you think I won't take action?"
Wang Ergou didn't expect that this little girl would actually take action, and the others didn't expect it either.
Facing the gaze from the little benefactor, all those restless thoughts disappeared.
Yes!
Although the other party is young, she is very capable. Even the ogres can't get any good results at her hands, so how dare they bargain?
If they don't understand the knife and don't show it, no one will care.
So once the knife was shown, they became afraid, and all those thoughts of making a move disappeared completely.
"Besides...how do you know I can't move the food away?"
Keqing said so.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the foot of the mountain, followed by continuous flames, a huge rumbling sound, and the sound of iron horses and golden swords roaring with the clanging sound of metal, coming from far away.
Everyone was terrified and at a loss. Could it be that the murderer was still alive? Or did they have an accomplice?
Tan Mingruo, holding the two children, pulled the woman and subconsciously hid behind Keqing, watching warily the flames that were coming rapidly from below, which were so dense that they illuminated the entire field of vision.
Suddenly, a fire lit up, and a tall figure wearing heavy iron armor and riding a tall horse suddenly appeared.
A huge shadow loomed over Keqing. Under the flickering light of the fire, the dark shadow stretched infinitely, like a giant monster that was daunting.
"Xu~"
The reins were pulled tightly and the horse's hooves were raised high.
The man suddenly landed and strode towards Keqing.
There was a pop.
Kneel on one knee, clench your fist, bow your head and salute.
"I am late, please punish me, Princess!"
With a loud bang, the flames behind him also became smaller, and the army behind him knelt down.
"Please punish me, my lord!"
Sound like
The sound of the bell was deafening, and the refugees behind him were frightened and at a loss.
what?
What princess!?
Everyone subconsciously looked at the little benefactor who stood with his hands behind his back and a calm face...
Princess? Are you talking about my little benefactor?
Could it be...the princess they were thinking of? !
