"Young Master, those children should be beggars from the neighborhood. How about... I go and chase them away?"
Hearing the little girl's question, Li Junxian next to him hurriedly explained without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak.
As the guards of Zhou Yu and the little princesses, the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion had actually seen those children a long time ago.
The reason they didn't drive them away was that they thought if there was any leftover food, they would give it to those poor children.
As for the reason, it was because these children reminded the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion of their own childhood.
Most of them are similar to those little beggars.
If I hadn't been lucky enough to join the Flying Cavalry Battalion, I wouldn't be wandering around now!
Zhou Yu had been busy just now and didn't notice the situation on the shore.
After hearing Li Junxian's explanation, he immediately shook his head and said, "They are just pitiful people. There is no need to drive them away."
After saying that, he looked at it carefully again.
I saw that all the children were wearing tattered clothes, huddled in the afterglow of the sunset.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "There are still a lot of instant noodles in the cabin. Make some for the children first and send them over."
"Thank you, young master."
As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, before Li Junxian could speak, a small leader of the Flying Cavalry Battalion ran excitedly to the cabin.
As guards, they have the responsibility to protect the safety of Zhou Yu and the little princesses.
It was also because of this that even though they had already discovered the little beggars, they did not rush forward.
Now that Zhou Yu had given the order, they naturally had no worries.
Seeing that the soldier volunteered, Li Junxian couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
In response to Zhou Yu's puzzled look, he quickly explained the whole story.
Zhou Yu was also very surprised to hear that most of the soldiers in the Flying Cavalry Battalion were born as beggars.
But then he felt relieved.
The Flying Cavalry Battalion is Li Er's personal guard, and they are the kind of people who can use their bodies to protect Li Er from all dangers at any time.
If such a person has too many family ties, it will actually be a trouble.
Of course, the identity of a personal guard may also be a sorrow for these people.
Because even if you die in battle one day, no one will care.
Zhou Yu was only distracted for a moment by these things.
No matter what era, there will inevitably be people living at the bottom of society.
With his ability, it is impossible to change anything.
If you encounter one, just give a helping hand.
As for taking the initiative to contact, Zhou Yu is not so bold.
On the surface, these children are all homeless people, but who can guarantee that they are not assassins?
You know, even in modern society, some countries have scouts who are willing to take people's lives if they disagree with them, let alone in ancient times.
Countless bloody experiences told Zhou Yu that being a saint often means a quick death.
Although there were many guards on the ship, Zhou Yu did not want to take the risk.
Seeing several guards from the Flying Cavalry Battalion excitedly boiling water, Zhou Yu shook his head and began to invite the little princesses to eat.
What he didn't expect was that the little kid, who was originally looking forward to the food, became absent-minded.
Even the pickled fish that Zhou Yu had picked out the bones from lost its former appeal.
Not only the little girl, but even Chengyang and Li Lizhi would look towards the shore from time to time.
Finally, it was the older Li Lizhi who couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master, those children are so poorly dressed, why don't we help them?"
"Yes~ Their faces are black, they look so pitiful~"
With Li Lizhi taking the lead, the absent-minded little kid quickly agreed.
Even Chengyang, who was usually not very talkative, nodded repeatedly.
Seeing the little princesses all looking at him expectantly, Zhou Yu first put down his chopsticks, and then said seriously: "Many times, what you think is a kind help may indirectly harm them."
"Huh? Why is it like this?"
The little kid looked puzzled, his eyes full of curiosity.
Not only her, but Chengyang and Li Lizhi were also full of confusion.
They really couldn't understand why Zhou Yu said this.
Seeing the little princesses frowning, Zhou Yu first glanced at the sergeants of the Flying Cavalry Battalion next to him, and then asked, "Were you thinking about giving those children some warm clothes?"
"Yeah~"
"Yes."
"That's right."
Several little princesses nodded in unison, especially the little girl, who was eager to try.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu first signaled her not to worry, and then continued: "Suppose we gave those children clothes and shoes, would that completely change their status as beggars?"
"This... won't happen."
Li Lizhi frowned, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.
Seeing this, Chengyang and Xiaonaituanzi looked at Zhou Yu with confusion.
"That's right. Unless we intervene, we can't change their fundamental problems."
Zhou Yu nodded, and continued: "These children were given clothes and shoes, but they still have to continue to beg.
Those kind-hearted people who were originally preparing to give alms naturally felt less sympathy when they saw these children wearing gorgeous clothes.
In this way, our help may even indirectly cause them to become more embarrassed.
This result is actually quite good.
You know, beggars are divided into groups.
These beggars have clothes and shoes, but others don’t. Won’t they be coveted by others?
If the other person is tall and strong, it is inevitable that they will have to fight to snatch the things away.
At that time, will they bow their heads and admit defeat, or rise up in resistance?
If they admit defeat, the clothes and shoes they just got will all become someone else's.
By then, they may not even have the clothes they are wearing now.
Rise up in resistance? What are their chances of success if they encounter someone bigger than them?
In the end, you may not only be beaten, but also have your clothes taken away.
Do you think they will be willing to be bullied like this?
If you are unwilling to accept it, there will probably be follow-up.
The follow-up is either to be beaten again and then to completely surrender.
Or... they could launch a desperate sneak attack and seek revenge on those who bullied them.
But they are weak to begin with, so even if they launch a sneak attack, what are their chances of winning?
Even if the sneak attack is successful, will those who are attacked admit defeat?
Maybe they will soon face even more brutal retaliation.
Even if they defeat those who bully them, can they guarantee that they can defeat every opponent?
I believe there is more than one group of beggars in every city, right?
Even among these beggars, many are adults.”
Having said this, Zhou Yu did not continue.
He knew that these words were very cruel, but since he had encountered this situation, he thought it would be better to explain it clearly to the little princesses.
Many times, good intentions do not necessarily lead to good results.
The principle that a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure is guilty is not just talk.
