Chapter 26: A Thought Across the Mountains



Li Huashi bought millet, which is cheaper than rice, and some sweet potatoes, which are more filling.

The hired laborers added water to the pot, then poured in millet and sweet potatoes and cooked them together.

After pouring all the ingredients into the pot, cook the millet and sweet potatoes into porridge, add a little salt to enhance the flavor, and the relief food is ready.

As for whether it tastes good or not, Li Huashi doesn’t care. It’s good enough for the refugees to have something to eat, so why should they be picky?

"Hey~whoosh! Hey whoosh~! Hey~! Whoosh~!"

Li Huashi stirred the sweet potato millet porridge in the pot with a large spoon, as if she was playing.

After asking people to arrange the refugees to line up, Li Huashi felt a little embarrassed by her first 'customer'.

"Your bowl is dirty and broken, what can you put in it?"

The short child looked a little restrained, as if Li Huashi's tone was a little bad, so the child held the broken bowl in both hands, looking a little scared.

But the desire for food still gave the child the courage to reply: "I, I can't find a good bowl, all the good bowls have been taken away by them, sir, please, please give me something to eat, I only want sweet potatoes, my brother is sick, please."

Li Hua Shi: . . .

Li Huashi cursed unhappily.

Not only do we have to give out food, we also have to prepare bowls for people.

Let the child stand aside and wait, Li Huashi asked others to buy a few large bowls.

However, the number of refugees was quite large, so after Li Huashi lost interest, she was no longer willing to scoop porridge.

So he switched roles with Huqi, letting Huqi scoop the porridge while he himself paid the silver.

But unlike Hu Qi, Li Huashi put one foot on the stool, like a bully, and said fiercely to everyone who came to collect the silver:

"Will you go to Li Kingdom after receiving the silver?"

Most people answered yes.

Then Li Huashi gave the money and added: "If I don't go, you'll starve to death."

Everyone: . . .

Of course, there are exceptions and some people say no.

For example, the child who was waiting to get the bowl.

Li Huashi glared at him: "How dare you come to collect my money if you don't want to go?!"

The child looked eagerly at the silver in Li Huashi's hand.

"Sir, my brother is sick, and I want to use this money to take him to see a doctor."

Li Huashi raised her eyebrows and instigated, “You abandon your brother, take the money and go to Li State, then you can survive.

If you don't abandon your brother, he will become a burden to you if he survives, and you will lose all your money if he doesn't survive. What do you think?"

The child looked at Li Huashi and shook his head: "Sir, I don't want it then. Thank you for the bowl and food. You are a good person. If I have the chance in the future, I will repay you."

As he said this, the child bowed to Li Huashi, then turned around and left with the bowl.

Li Huashi became interested when she saw this, so she followed and gave him some earnest advice.

"If you don't take the money, your brother won't have a doctor, and he will die."

"Your brother is dead, you have no money, and none of your children can survive."

"If you take the money, you can go to Li State and get five taels of silver. Not only that, you can also grow up in Li State, marry a wife and have children."

The child looked up at Li Huashi with a complicated expression and said, "Sir, my brother may not die, and I may grow up with him, support each other, save money to settle down, marry a wife and have children.

Even if my brother died because he couldn't see a doctor, it wasn't because I gave up on him and killed him. I have no regrets."

Li Huashi: "It's meaningless for you to insist like this! If your brother dies, you won't have the chance to come to me to ask for the two taels of silver again!"

The child nodded: "I know, but I can also go to Lebanon. Didn't you say that Lebanon accepts refugees from other countries?"

Li Huashi: "It's such a long journey. If you don't have money, you will definitely die on the road."

The child nodded: "Then I will try not to die."

Li Huashi: . . . "Tsk! I really hate you kids!"

Li Huashi, whose attempt to seduce others failed, did not give the silver to the other party and turned away.

Since the other party has made a choice, even if he or she is a child, he or she must bear the consequences of the choice.

This is the first lesson in life that I taught the little kid!

Being kind is useless! Just because someone does good things doesn’t necessarily mean they are a good person!

Uh-huh!

Li Huashi nodded in self-affirmation and went back to continue doing good deeds.

However, when Li Huashi saw that Hu Qi was distributing porridge and silver at the same time, Li Huashi, who had nothing to do, took out a chicken leg, sat aside and started eating.

The refugees who were drinking porridge looked at the chicken leg in Li Huashi's hand, swallowed their saliva, and moved away with the porridge.

"hey-hey..."

Li Huashi couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

It was true that she did it on purpose, because Li Huashi didn't like others to think that she was a kind and good person.

As the saying goes, good people are often bullied.

What if there is someone shameless enough to kowtow in front of me, begging me for help until his head is bleeding?

Li Huashi was very unhappy.

After a while, several familiar-looking carriages drove up from a distance.

In the carriage, several young men and women who had been met before seemed to notice the movements nearby and lifted the curtain to look outside.

Ignoring Pei San's ugly face and the several young men who tried to stop him from rushing down, Li Huashi waved the chicken leg in her hand towards the beautiful girl she had teased before as a greeting.

The little beauty looked at the smiles on the faces of the refugees around her, looked at Li Huashi meaningfully, and finally closed the curtains, and the group went into the city and left.
