Chapter 161 Look at the eyes of the victim
At the same time, Jiang Wan and his friends had arrived at the nearest town, Yongba City.
Yongba City is not far from Jiuzhou, so this town is not as wealthy as the previous towns.
The closer you get to Jiuzhou, the poorer the people become, because the closer you get to Jiuzhou, the more barren the fields become.
When Jiang Wan and his companions entered the city, there were not many pedestrians on the streets because of the cold weather.
Qi Chu was familiar with the place and enthusiastically took them to a restaurant.
"This restaurant is delicious. I used to eat here often when I passed by."
"Miss Qi often goes out to explore?"
Song Jiuli's big eyes were full of curiosity. Putting aside the recent grudges, her attitude towards Qi Chu was very good.
"yes."
Qi Chu clenched the sword in his hand and said proudly, "I have loved wielding swords and guns since I was a child.
My family couldn't do anything to me, they just told me to go back during the holidays."
"Miss Qi is very courageous."
Jiang Wan's words came from the bottom of her heart. Not many people of her age dare to go out and explore the world alone.
What's more, Qi Chu is a pretty girl. It's not that she discriminates against girls, but pretty girls walking outside are often more likely to be targeted by bad guys.
"Pretty sister, please stop praising me. If I hadn't met you, I would have been in trouble this time!"
Qi Chu still had self-awareness. She was a little impulsive this time and offended a powerful person, who probably hated her to death.
So she sent a lot of people. If she hadn't met them, she might have really lost her life this time.
“Everything is fate.”
Facing Song Jiuyuan's puzzled gaze, Jiang Wan ordered a few dishes with a smile and waited for Qi Chu to go out to find the waiter.
Song Jiuyuan, who was sitting next to Jiang Wan, lowered his voice and said, "Wan Wan, this is not your style."
Take the previous incident of being bitten by the Gu for example. If Song Jiuli hadn’t been bitten, Jiang Wan wouldn’t have been so active.
"Eye contact."
Jiang Wan blinked mysteriously, "I think this Qi Chu is very pleasing to my eye."
"As long as you are happy."
Song Jiuyuan didn't believe the reasons she gave, but he believed that Jiang Wan would not harm them, so he respected her decision.
The two of them were whispering in each other's ears, and they seemed to be in a very good relationship. Madam Song smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Mom, can you be more obvious?"
Song Jiuli twitched her lips speechlessly. Even a fool could tell why her mother looked like that.
Mrs. Song rolled her eyes at her in annoyance and said, "You silly child, you don't understand."
The better the relationship between Wanwan and Yuan'er, the happier she is as a mother.
Jiang Wan was immersed in her own thoughts and did not realize that there was something wrong with Madam Song's eyes.
Song Jiuyuan noticed it, and when he lowered his eyes to look at her fair and pretty face, a sweet feeling suddenly surged in his heart for no reason.
"I ordered the signature dish of this restaurant. If it's not enough, just let me know."
Qi Chu strode in with a bright smile on her face. It was hard not to like such a bright girl.
“Enough is enough!”
Jiang Wan pulled Qi Chu to sit down, "Don't be too polite, it's a waste if you order too much and can't finish it."
"I will listen to my pretty sister."
Qi Chu had a good impression of Jiang Wan, so she simply sat next to her. However, for some reason, she and Song Jiuchi disliked each other.
Even if their eyes met, they would quickly separate, as if they didn't know each other.
Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan naturally did not miss this scene. They looked at each other and tacitly pretended not to notice.
After dinner, Qi Chu paid the bill promptly and left the restaurant. She suggested:
"It's getting late, and it's too cold out in the wilderness. You can rest for a night in the inn in the city."
"You are right."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly. Before they got on the carriage, they saw a girl kneeling opposite the restaurant.
Behind the girl lay a man frozen pale with cold, and in front of him was a sign that read "Selling Myself to Bury My Father."
"This girl is so pitiful."
Song Jiuchi muttered something casually, but Qi Chu happened to hear it. She twitched her lips speechlessly.
"No wonder you mistakenly thought I was deliberately trying to get you into trouble. You are indeed a bit blind."
"What do you mean?!!"
Song Jiuchi felt inexplicably bullied and glared at Qi Chu angrily.
"I don't think I have provoked you, why do you say I am blind?"
"If I say you are blind, then I am blind."
Qi Chu snorted lightly, looking a little arrogant, which made Jiang Wan, who was watching the show, laugh and cry.
Song Jiuchi pursed his lips in anger, "Just now I thought you were a very kind person, that's why you went to rescue those innocent girls.
Now you turn a blind eye to the poor people and say I am blind. I really misjudged you!"
Probably because he was angry with the other party, Song Jiuchi almost lost his mind!
neat and smart:……
She twitched her lips speechlessly and looked at Jiang Wan and others beside her, "Beautiful sister, what do you think?"
"Li'er, tell me."
Jiang Wan casually flipped the plush gloves in her hand and glanced at Song Jiuyuan casually.
There was understanding in his eyes, and they both knew what the other was thinking without saying anything.
Song Jiuli glanced at Song Jiuyuan hesitantly, and found that he did not stop her, then she whispered:
"That girl lost her father at such a young age and didn't even have money to bury him. She's really pitiful."
Madam Song: ...
This silly girl can’t be kept anymore.
Qi Chu immediately looked at him like a fool, and Song Jiuchi was so angry that he said:
"What's that look in your eyes?"
"Just look at the eyes of the victim."
Qi Chu folded his hands calmly and said, "I like to stand up for the weak, but I won't help everyone.
This girl has been kneeling opposite this restaurant for nearly half a month. I remember a businessman passing by from another place helped her out of kindness a few days ago. "
"How could it be?!"
Song Jiuli widened her eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Wan with a confused expression.
"Sister-in-law, is there really someone who would be so unscrupulous just to make money?"
"Silly girl."
Jiang Wan sighed faintly, "Miss Qi is right, look carefully at the girl's exposed hands."
"Her hands are very soft and tender."
Song Jiuli muttered something and looked at her hands uncomfortably. Because of being exiled, her pampered little hands now had some calluses.
In addition, it was very cold outside in winter and she even got frostbite on her fingers.
"Look at the words written in front of her again."
Song Jiuyuan reminded him quietly, and Song Jiuchi looked over and found that the handwriting that wrote "Selling Oneself to Bury Father" was very beautiful.
A girl who can learn to write so well should come from a good family. No matter how poor she is, she would not sell herself to bury her father, right?
"My beautiful sister, you two are smart."
Qi Chu glanced at Song Jiuchi and said unhappily, "If you help her today, it will only encourage the people behind her.
You know, the corpses behind her are often replaced."
"What?!!"
Song Jiuchi was very shocked. The young boy's worldview was refreshed again. He felt that he had been constantly learning more in the past six months.
