The girl still refused to give in: "Auntie, please, the road is full of disaster victims now, and we have no way to go. You must not have the heart to do this. Be a good person to the end, and think of saving a life as better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Tang Youyou became furious. This was considered moral kidnapping. She had a habit of not interacting with people if she didn't like them at first sight.
This girl was just like that. Although she looked pitiful, there was a lot of contempt in her eyes when she looked at me. She looked down on me, but she also wanted me to help her. She was a complete white lotus.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? We're fleeing famine, not escorting an convoy. Also, you're crying for the wrong person. I'm not a scumbag who pities women. I'm your aunt!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at the girl's surprised eyes.
He kept muttering, "There are all kinds of birds in the forest! You want to blackmail me with morality? Sorry, I have no morals!"
Butcher Zhang naturally heard what she said and couldn't help laughing.
Tang Youyou glared at him. He was extremely embarrassed and laughed: "Haha! Sister, you're right. We're running for our lives. We can't even take care of ourselves, and we're still taking care of others. I think that girl's brain is not working well."
"This child is teachable!" She left after saying this.
Butcher Zhang chuckled: "Oh my god, was Miss Tang just praising me?"
When everyone drove away, they could still see the girl's angry eyes.
Xiaoshan scratched his head: "Mom, why does my sister hate you so much? Didn't you save her?"
The children all sat upright, looking at her with burning eyes.
"Why? Because I didn't help her to the end, because I didn't help her according to her wishes!"
Xiaoshan was even more confused: "But why would she hate you? You didn't hurt her!"
"You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against them. Look at what happened today. I offered her a helping hand, but instead of being grateful, she asked me to follow through and send them back to the capital. When I expressed my unwillingness, she thought I was cold and heartless and glared at me."
"Everyone has a selfish side. She thinks I'm a good person and gives me some benefits, so she thinks I should meet her request. But why should I agree?"
"Children, when faced with something you don't want to do, you must be brave enough to say 'no'. Stand firm to your bottom line, stick to your principles, and be brave enough to refuse others."
Xiaoshan nodded thoughtfully and said to Xiaosi, "I don't want to sit with you. You fart so much that it stinks."
Xiao Si felt very aggrieved: "Third brother, that happened so long ago. Wasn't it because I ate too much fish? I haven't farted in a few days, and my stomach is rumbling."
Everyone was laughing one second, and then realized the next second that it was already 4 p.m. and no one had eaten.
Tang Youyou patted Zhang the butcher, who was slightly stunned and stopped the ox cart.
She waved her hand and everyone surrounded the ox cart.
"What are you doing? So mysterious!"
She opened the bundle, revealing white flour buns.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked around, afraid of attracting other people's attention.
"Two per person, eat quickly!"
Everyone took one in each hand, hid it in their sleeves, and ate it voraciously.
After eating two steamed buns, I felt very satisfied.
The disaster victims nearby were talking about it.
"Look at those people, they're all in rags. They're still rushing on the road in such a hot sun. Aren't they afraid of getting burned?"
"Is this a rush to reincarnate?"
"Oh, there's a cow!"
"Stop looking at it! That driver looks so ferocious and scary!"
Butcher Zhang glared at the victims, showed his knife, and muttered to himself: I don't know if they can see the knife in my hand clearly. If any blind person dares to come, let him see whether this knife is sharp or not.
Some were brave enough to rush over to the oxcart, blocking its path and crying, "Please be kind and give me some water to drink and some food to eat."
Tang Youyou closed her eyes and didn't pay any attention. Everyone needs to grow up. There is still a journey of eight hundred miles to Nanzhou, and she can't be relied on for everything.
Butcher Zhang shouted angrily: "Get out of here! If this cow hurts you, I won't be responsible!"
The woman held her dying child in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "Wuwuwu... please... please."
"Damn it, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Xu Da glared at him and stepped forward to help the woman up: "Hey! Sister, we are also fleeing from famine. How can we have extra food to give you? Please don't make things difficult for us!"
But the woman still refused to give in and knelt down, walking to the center of the road and said: "If you don't help me, you can't leave. Otherwise, you will have to walk over me!"
Xu Da rolled his eyes and winked at Zhang the Butcher, who understood.
"Gee!" He flicked the whip and the bull rushed forward with a "moo".
Seeing that there was no sign of stopping, the woman panicked and dragged her child to the side, crawling and rolling.
"Oh my, it seems there's no hope."
"These people have no compassion at all!"
"I was thinking that if we were given food, we would go and grab it."
"That man is so cruel!"
Everyone was talking about it, and these words more or less fell into the ears of Tang Youyou and his group.
Tang's mother sighed: "How did these people become like this!"
Old Man Tang also sighed: "If we were in the same situation as them, perhaps we would be like this! After all, they are not wrong. They just want to survive. But they actually disregard the lives of others. It is extremely hateful!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to the dozing Tang Youyou, their hearts filled with gratitude. If it weren't for her, they would have met the King of Hell long ago.
