Then, amidst the horrified gazes of the others, Loxi slowly walked toward the robber's corpse and began skillfully looting supplies.
Scraping the ground after defeating monsters is a habit she developed after the apocalypse.
Moreover, after being trapped by the mutated plants for so long, the resources in her space were being depleted rapidly. She needed to replenish them.
Silver? It was essential for buying things in ancient times, so that's quite a good deal!
...throw it in the bag.
A dagger? It's convenient for killing people and chopping vegetables, so that works too!
...throw it in the bag.
A cornbread as hard as a rock?
Never mind, I can eat it when I'm really starving.
...throw it in the bag.
A hair ornament for women?
What a hobby!
Never mind... I'll just throw it in my bag.
...
Tsk, what a bastard! What a load of crap, the Mountain King! He has no good stuff at all.
Rosine looked at the small pile of things in the space with some disdain.
However... since they are bandits, they must have a bandit den. She looked up at the lush green forest, a glint of light flashing in her bright eyes.
Chu Zhe also seems to have fallen in that direction.
The people trapped here by the bandits stood there like dumb geese, none of them daring to move, only their eyes unconsciously following Luo Xi's figure.
Just when they thought that Rose would take their things too, she stopped, sat down on a rock, and began to tend to her wounds.
At this moment, Wei Cheng, who looked like a steward, walked to Wei Qing's side.
"Sir, let's leave here quickly. There might still be bandits in the stronghold. If they find out that someone killed so many of their comrades, we'll be in big trouble."
Moreover, the place reeked of blood and was filled with corpses, and every time he looked around, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Wei Qing remained silent.
He turned to look at Luo Xi, who was slowly tending to her wound: "Wait, let me go ask my benefactor what she has to say?"
The little boy named Zhouzhou's big eyes lit up: "Daddy!"
But the other members of the Wei family changed their expressions.
They glanced cautiously at the headless corpses lying on the ground, then stole a look at Loxi.
"Sir, perhaps we shouldn't?"
That young woman is so terrifying, it's best to stay away from her.
"Why the long face?" Wei Qing glared at them with a stern face: "Our benefactor killed people who deserved to die. Besides, if it weren't for her, none of us would have survived."
"To be rescued and then leave without a word, is that what we Wei family members should do?"
The Wei family members lowered their heads.
They understand the reasoning, but... they still can't help being afraid of that person.
They're helpless too, okay?
"Yes, Wei Qing is right." Aunt Wei hugged her soft grandson tightly, her eyes full of relief.
If it weren't for her benefactor, who knows what would have happened to them, especially her adorable grandson, who was almost strangled to death on the spot.
The baby in Aunt Wei's arms was nodding its little head adorably.
He said with a face full of admiration, "My benefactor sister, you're a good person, amazing!"
"Grandma, is she with us? Zhouzhou likes her." Wei Zhou shyly twisted her chubby fingers.
Aunt Wei looked at her grandson with loving eyes and said gently, "Grandma doesn't know either. Why don't you go and ask her with me?"
"Mmm!" The child's eyebrows curved, and his big eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.
"Good boy!" Aunt Wei patted her grandson's head, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait here for Grandma, I'll go get something."
She walked onto the carriage, and a moment later came out carrying a bag: "Let's go."
Wei Qing thought for a moment and followed.
After treating her wounds, Luo Xi looked up and saw two adults and one child standing in a row in front of her.
"What is it?" she asked expressionlessly.
Aunt Wei smiled gently, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you so much for saving us. If it weren't for you, our whole family would have been killed."
She bowed respectfully to Rose.
Wei Qing replied in return, "Thank you, benefactor."
The child, mimicking her, looked at Luo Xi with a cute, innocent expression and said, "Thank you, benefactor sister, you're amazing."
Luo Xi looked on with curiosity and patted his little head: "It's nothing."
Robbers are bullying him; he can't tolerate it.
So it's hard to say who I'm helping.
Aunt Wei didn't explain, but simply pushed the things in her hands over: "My benefactor, I see you dressed like this..."
"I have a set of clothes here, but it's not made of any good material. If you don't mind, you can wear it."
Luo Xi glanced down at her beggar's clothes.
It's time to change it.
There didn't seem to be any ancient costumes in the space, so she reached out and took one: "Thank you."
"You're too kind, benefactor." Aunt Wei pointed to the carriage over there: "If you don't mind, please come and change in our carriage."
This is a desolate, wild place.
Without any hesitation, Rose boarded the carriage with her package.
Only when he opened it did he discover that there was a large bag of silver inside. Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, but he accepted it anyway.
She really needs this; it seems I haven't been collecting things thoroughly enough before.
See, they have nothing they want.
A moment later, a young woman in an orange cross-collar ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress) stepped off the carriage.
Aunt Wei was stunned when she saw the drastically changed Luo Xi: "I never expected my benefactor to look like this, like this..."
"The skirt is a bit big, but my benefactor is taller than me, so it's still a good fit."
Her son bought her this dress, but she thought the color was too bright, so she never wore it.
It's just right to give it to my benefactor now.
Rose lifted her skirt with her right hand and pulled at her sleeve with her left, making it more and more tangled.
I haven't worn traditional costumes in a long time, and I'm not used to it anymore.
Before the apocalypse, she actually loved Hanfu and had several sets in her wardrobe; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get dressed in such a short time.
But after the apocalypse, she almost shaved her head off, so she never wore it again.
Aunt Wei had noticed that Luo Xi's attire was quite different from theirs, and after a moment's thought, she asked, "Where is our benefactor going?"
“The Nanyue Prefecture is currently suffering from severe famine, with refugees everywhere and bandits rampant, making it very unsafe. If it is on your way, why don’t you travel with us?”
Wei Zhou's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head incessantly like a chicken pecking at rice. He clung to Luo Xi's leg, saying, "Benefactor sister, let's go together! There are so many bad guys on the road. There are so many of us, we can... we can fight off a lot of bad guys..."
But as he spoke, his head drooped lower and lower, and his voice grew softer and softer.
The rest of the Wei family also perked up their ears.
However, they all seemed uneasy and didn't appear to be welcoming of Rosie at all.
Famine? Loxi pondered, it seems things aren't peaceful here either.
However, she still refused: "No, I've gotten separated from my companion and I still need to go find him."
The Wei family servants visibly breathed a sigh of relief, while the little boy shrugged, his chubby little hands never leaving Luo Xi's thigh.
"I wonder what your benefactor's companion looks like, and what his name is?" asked Wei Qing, the scholar who had been standing to the side. "We may be traveling to many places on this journey. We can keep an eye out for your benefactor. If we encounter him, we can pass on a message to your companion."
