However, he tried to move twice but couldn't, and someone pulled him back.
Little Stone turned around with red eyes, about to speak, but saw Han Luoxue's cold face.
“Madam…” he called out softly, “The horse is alright, it’s fine now.”
"You did a great job."
Han Luoxue patted Xiao Shitou's head and whispered, "Watch me now."
After speaking, she raised her head, and her once bright face now showed a hint of coldness several times:
"You said you were going to help us feed the horses, did we ask you to do it?"
"I...I just meant well."
When Han Luoxue looked at her like that, Aunt Wu's heart skipped a beat. This extremely bad premonition made her feel extremely flustered.
"Kindness? I wonder what you're buying for my family? Could you show me?"
"I... I was just about to beat those beast's things to the ground, and these are them!"
Aunt Wu picked a few pieces of hay from her body, looking like she was doing it for my own good: "I really just meant well. We used to raise horses here, and they ate these things."
"Hehe, I remember telling you when I came that you shouldn't go near my horse, and besides, it doesn't eat these things."
Han Luoxue sneered and suddenly whistled.
Before anyone could understand what she meant, they heard a familiar neighing sound and a little red horse came galloping over with cheerful steps.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the small red pony. It was so beautiful, with gorgeous colors and a glossy, shiny coat—clearly well-fed.
Although everyone doesn't know much about horses, they know that judging from the appearance of these little red horses, they couldn't get this fat on ordinary hay.
"My horse is very intelligent. Should I ask it what you want to do?"
"Nonsense! How could this beast possibly understand human nature? It just says whatever you want!"
Aunt Wu spoke unreasonably, then simply pulled up her pants, looked at the large bruise on her calf, and angrily said, "Your beast injured me, so you have to compensate me."
"It's not just my leg, my back is twisted too, it still hurts. Uncle Xu, you have to stand up for me."
By this time, Grandpa Xu had roughly figured out what had happened. This Aunt Wu usually liked to take advantage of others, and this time she probably wanted to take the horse home and eat it. But she didn't expect the horse to be so clever; it kicked her.
She didn't gain anything and even got hurt, so she came to me for help.
"Are you sure you didn't go there to steal someone's horse?" Grandpa Xu asked.
"Uncle Xu, don't you know who I am? How could I do such a thing?"
"What kind of compensation do you want?"
Hearing this, Aunt Wu's eyes lit up: "I don't want much, just ten catties of meat and 200 catties of grain. Look how badly I'm injured, I need to take good care of myself."
Aunt Wu acted as if she had suffered a great loss.
Hearing this, everyone around gasped. Aunt Wu had found a sucker and was taking advantage of a stranger from out of town.
Grandpa Xu turned to look at Han Ruoxue and the others. He thought the two of them would speak at this moment, but to his surprise, they remained silent.
"Ahem, let me say something. Aunt Wu, what you did wasn't right. Everyone knows exactly what happened. It was your fault to begin with. How could you blame others when you were injured?"
Someone came forward and said that everyone knew what was going on as soon as they heard about it; Aunt Wu was clearly up to no good.
"Exactly, it's not easy for people from out of town to come here. Those horses are their means of transportation. How could you..."
"Sigh, it's one thing for you to take advantage of people in small ways, but how could you cheat out-of-towners like this?"
...
Everyone was talking at once, all about Aunt Wu.
Upon hearing this, Han Luoxue's expression softened slightly.
Han Yuchen, who was standing to the side, relaxed his tightly pursed lips a little.
"That's right, I heard you all saying you wanted to kill this pony, Aunt Wu, you've gone too far."
Little Stone pouted, looking aggrieved. That was truly a brilliant finishing touch.
"You, you all... do I look like that? You're all just jealous and envious!"
Aunt Wu blushed with anger at everyone's presence. She stood up resentfully, looked at Little Stone, took a few steps over, and raised her hand to deliver a powerful slap.
But before her slap could land, her hand was grabbed by someone with tremendous strength.
"You, you let go!"
Aunt Wu glared at Han Luoxue with bloodshot eyes. Han Luoxue swung her hand; she was already quite strong, and after taking the body-strengthening pill, her strength was even greater. With the added force, Aunt Wu stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud, crying out in pain.
She only felt a sharp pain in her buttocks, and even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.
"My, my butt!"
She cried out, touching her buttocks. But no one went to help her up; they all just watched coldly.
"Alright, stop fussing."
Grandpa Xu finally spoke up, saying that there are one or two such people in every place, and he can't control them.
"Uncle Xu, how could you..."
However, Grandpa Xu ignored her and turned to look at Han Luoxue and the others, smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry, there are such ignorant people in every place, please forgive me."
Han Luoxue nodded. She hadn't spoken up immediately because she wanted to see how the people here would react, but they hadn't disappointed her.
Therefore, she didn't plan to go back to her room to talk to Grandpa Xu. Instead, she said directly in front of everyone, "I know that every place has one or two bad people, but most people are good, and that's enough. Grandpa Xu, what I just said still stands. I see that everyone doesn't look very well, and I guess you've all been hungry for a long time. How about we all work hard tonight and have some porridge?"
Everyone was still completely bewildered, but Grandpa Xu's face lit up with joy, and his voice began to tremble again: "Tonight? Tonight?"
"Yes, the porridge might not be too thick, but it definitely won't be so thick that you can't see any grains. Grandpa Xu, could you please arrange for them to set up the pot and boil the water? We'll go out and get the grains now."
When she arrived, Han Luoxue only brought her little red horse. Distributing porridge to so many people would require a considerable amount of food, which she couldn't possibly conjure up out of thin air.
Therefore, the two of them still needed to go out and get food.
"This is great, wonderful!"
Grandpa Xu almost knelt down. At this moment, everyone understood what it meant, and their eyes shone with excitement. Some people asked in disbelief, "Is this the kind of porridge distribution I imagined?"
"Are we really going to have something to eat today?"
"Oh my god, really?"
Looking at the excited, flushed faces, Han Luoxue nodded, "Everyone, get ready, we'll bring the food over in a bit."
This is just ordinary porridge, but judging from the way everyone looks at it, they would think it's some kind of delicacy.
Han Luoxue felt increasingly heartbroken; in years of famine, the lives of ordinary people were truly miserable.
