Luo Xi, with Wei Zhou by his side, rode slowly towards the official road.
Along the way, we encountered many people, mostly groups of ordinary people, all of them thin and emaciated with sallow faces, clearly suffering from long-term malnutrition.
Judging from their conversation, they must have gone into the mountains to hunt wild game and dig up wild grass and peel tree bark to fill their stomachs. I don't know if they were local people or people who had fled famine and came here.
Whenever they saw the horse under Rose's crotch, they would drool with desire, some even swallowing hard as they looked at the horse from afar.
If it weren't for the intimidating aura emanating from Rosie from time to time, someone would probably have rushed over and snatched it long ago.
"They, they are so scary." Wei Zhou was terrified by their eyes, which looked like those of hungry wolves eyeing meat, and desperately shrank into Luo Xi's arms.
During the apocalypse, Rosie had witnessed countless such scenes, which is why her expression remained indifferent.
He only occasionally unleashes his supernatural abilities to deter those with ill intentions.
"Ignore everyone else, focus on your father and the others, don't miss anything," Luo Xi instructed.
"Sister, I understand." The child's voice was timid, but his eyes were wide open.
"Luo, Lady Luo?" At this moment, an uncertain voice came from beside Luo Xi.
Looks like I'm in luck today. Loxi smiled and turned around.
It really was Aunt Wei.
But now, she no longer possessed the composure and gentleness she had shown when they first met; her face showed more anxiety and weariness.
"It really is you." Seeing that it was indeed Luo Xi, Aunt Wei forced a smile: "Your family still haven't been found?"
Luo Xi didn't reply to her. Instead, she took Wei Zhou out of her arms and jumped off the horse.
"Look who this is?"
"Grandma!" Little Wei Zhou's big eyes filled with glistening tears again.
He stretched out his little hands again and again, but he still didn't dare to rush over and hug Aunt Wei.
"Grandma, I'm so sorry, Zhouzhou shouldn't have run off like that..."
Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Wei hugged him tightly, exclaiming, "My dear grandson!"
After holding back tears for so many days, they finally burst forth, dripping onto the child's clothes and soaking a large area in no time.
Wei Zhou finally burst into tears: "Grandma, Grandma..."
Each sound carries countless longings.
Wei Qing, who was standing next to her, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes without making a sound, walked up to Luo Xi, and solemnly bowed to her.
“My benefactor, you have saved my family once again, Mr. Wei…”
"It was just a coincidence," Luo Xi interrupted him, not thinking much of it.
"No matter who it is, if they see a child they know being bullied by bad people, they will lend a helping hand."
Of course, this is on the premise that the child is also good.
Wei Qing's handsome face showed a bitter expression: "There aren't many people who think like our benefactor."
Especially as the famine worsened, most people chose to protect themselves. If others were in Wei Zhou's situation, even more would probably stay far away.
That's because saving him was really just a piece of cake for Rosie.
Moreover, she did not want to lose her true nature and become a cold-blooded killing machine.
She would never hesitate to kill the wicked, and she would also lend a helping hand to those who deserved it, within her capabilities.
"Father, my sister is going to Tongning County too." At this moment, the child Weizhou finished crying.
He opened his large, bright eyes, as if they had been washed clean, and looked at Rose hopefully: "How about we go together?"
Although he asked his father the question, his eyes were fixed on Luo Xi.
"My benefactor... what do you think?" Wei Qing asked cautiously.
If they were traveling together, they could at least repay their benefactor's kindness in some way.
After thinking for only a moment, Rosie nodded: "Okay."
Having finished collecting supplies, she planned to take a break before continuing her journey at full speed.
But there's a fatal problem when traveling: without navigation, she doesn't know the way.
"You know the way to Tongning County, right?"
Don't let the crowds turn out like she did before, leaving her stuck at the intersection asking for directions.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wei smiled and said, "My benefactor, you didn't get lost and that's why you came to the woods, did you?"
“It’s not that bad.” Luo Xi coughed lightly. “I heard there’s a spring here and wanted to cleanse myself. It’s too hot, and I’m covered in sweat.”
She said it half-jokingly.
"I see." Aunt Wei said, "Don't worry, benefactor, we've walked this road several times, we know it very well."
"It's just that water... is a bit of a problem. When there was plenty of rain, we didn't lack it, but now..."
Rosie had anticipated this, so she wasn't too disappointed.
But then Aunt Wei said, "Don't worry, my benefactor, we still have plenty of water here. I'll boil some for you when we rest."
"There might not be enough water for a full bath, but it's enough for a quick wash."
"No need." Luo Xi quickly refused. She wasn't so heartless as to use water that others wouldn't even dare to drink to bathe herself.
However, after finding a place to stay, Aunt Wei brought a servant to bring Luo Xi a large basin of hot water, which even had a very new bath towel in it, which was incredibly thoughtful.
Luo Xi's eyebrows curved slightly involuntarily. Seeing that there wasn't much water, she didn't refuse: "Thank you for your trouble, Auntie."
Aunt Wei smiled and shook her head: "My benefactor, go wash in that carriage, it's safer there."
Rosie nodded.
When she came out after washing up, dinner was already ready, but no one ate first; they all sat aside waiting for her.
As soon as Luo Xi came out, Aunt Wei immediately and warmly pressed her to sit in the main seat: "Benefactor, please sit down."
"I didn't know your taste, so I just made a few dishes. Please make do with them."
