Along the way, when Xia Tian saw someone who was staggering from hunger, he would ask Mu Feng and Muchen to secretly give them a steamed bun.
Without saying a word, the carriage did not stop and continued to head towards the capital.
Fortunately, these refugees were quite smart. They hid the steamed buns quickly after getting them and did not dare to make a sound. They would only take them out secretly and eat a bite when they were in a place where no one was around.
Xia Tian, Ning Xiang and Ning Xue felt a little better as they looked at the dwindling number of steamed buns. After all, at least they had contributed something.
The carriage did not stop at noon, so Xia Tian and they ate a steamed bun for lunch and continued on their journey.
After sitting in the carriage for most of the day, everyone was a little tired. There was only half a bamboo basket of steamed buns in her carriage, so she wanted to lie down and take a nap.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I lay down, I heard a cry, the voice was sharp and desperate.
Xia Tian quickly sat up and looked out through the gap in the carriage window.
A woman was sitting on the side of the road, holding a little girl in her arms. The little girl's face was covered in blood, which was even more shocking in this cold weather.
Mu Feng went forward to check without waiting for her instructions.
The woman saw that Mu Feng was dressed in extraordinary clothes, so she knelt down in front of him while holding the child, "Please save my child, I beg you."
The woman cried and kowtowed continuously.
Mu Feng frowned, "What's wrong with the child?"
"Her head was hit. Someone stole the last bit of food from us, mother and daughter, and also beat my child. Please save my child," the woman said while crying.
"Where is your man?" Mu Feng asked with a frown.
The child is injured so badly, but he still doesn't come out.
"The child's father was beaten to death two days ago. If he hadn't helped my mother and me escape, we would have been beaten to death too."
Xia Tian heard it clearly in the car and sighed in his heart.
Judging from the thin clothes these two people are wearing, the child is injured and there is almost no chance of him surviving in such cold weather.
Even if she gave her food, I don't think she could protect it.
Xia Tian called Mu Chen over and said, "Ask Mu Feng to bring the mother and daughter to the car."
I might as well be a good person and give them a ride, and then release them outside the capital.
Mu Chen agreed and went to find Mu Feng.
Anyway, I have helped a lot of people along the way, so this time won’t make a difference.
Xia Tian had been looking at the woman from the window. After Muchen finished speaking, the woman kowtowed happily to thank him, then quickly picked up the child and followed them to the carriage.
The woman looked up at the carriage, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Xia Tian's heart sank. Something was wrong. The look she had just given was not what a refugee should have.
When I looked again, the woman had returned to her submissive and docile appearance.
Xia Tian thought he had seen it wrong, and stared at the woman for a while before he realized something was wrong. The woman was holding a child of seven or eight years old and was walking briskly, not looking like she was hungry at all.
Before he even got there, Muchen probably noticed something was wrong and walked over and said, "Wait here."
The woman looked up in surprise. Aren't they going to take them to the carriage? Why do they have to wait again?
Mu Chen gave Mu Feng a look, and Mu Feng understood and turned around to block the woman.
Mu Chen walked quickly to the front of the carriage and whispered, "Madam, I think there is something wrong with that woman."
"Okay. I understand. Give her two steamed buns and let's go." Xia Tian said in the carriage.
After saying that, he asked Ningxiang to pass two steamed buns to Muchen through the window.
Regardless of whether the woman had any problems or not, she didn't dare to take the risk.
It seems that she was still not cautious enough and was a little careless.
Fortunately, I took a closer look just now, otherwise I might have let a wolf into the house.
Muchen took the steamed bun, walked over and stuffed it into the woman's arms. Without saying anything, he told Mu Feng to leave.
The woman paused and didn't react for a moment.
Watching the carriage go away, she felt annoyed. Did she reveal something just now?
The man just now clearly said to take them to the carriage, why did he suddenly change his mind?
The woman couldn't figure it out for a moment, and when she was stunned, Xia Tian's carriage had already gone far away.
When Xia Tian and the others were no longer around, the woman stopped pretending and put the child down from her arms. The child stomped his feet and said nothing happened.
The secret guard who saw this scene clearly left quietly and reported to Muchen.
In the carriage, Ningxue asked in confusion, "Madam, why did you change your mind again?"
She was quite surprised when the lady asked Mu Feng to bring the person to the car.
Because although they would occasionally give steamed buns to the refugees along the way, they never intended to take anyone with them.
Could it be that the lady suddenly disliked them and changed her mind?
"There's something wrong with that woman." Xia Tian replied indifferently.
"Is there a problem?" Ning Xue was surprised. "Madam, how did you find out?"
"She was carrying a half-grown child, yet she walked briskly, not looking hungry at all."
Ningxiang suddenly understood, "I see. I was wondering why I felt something strange just now."
She had just been looking out through the crack in the window. Although she felt something was wrong at the time, she couldn't put her finger on it.
As soon as the lady explained it, she understood immediately.
"You noticed it too?" Ningxue was a little depressed. She had been staring at the woman just now, but didn't find anything wrong.
"Yeah. I just felt something was wrong," Ningxiang explained. "After Madam said that, I finally understood. It turns out that the way that woman walked was nothing like those refugees who had been hungry for many days."
The other refugees walked with somewhat unsteady steps, but the woman just now walked briskly, especially Mu Feng, who was striding in front, and she was still following easily with a child in her arms.
"Oh!" Ningxue nodded, it seemed to be the case.
Mu Feng's eyes darkened, he was also careless!
Muchen overheard the conversation between several people in the carriage from outside and was secretly surprised. It turned out that his wife had already discovered it.
He asked, why is it that when he said he had a problem, the lady didn't even ask any questions, but just gave him two steamed buns and sent him away.
It turns out that something was wrong a long time ago.
After Muchen told Xia Tian what the secret guard had seen, she realized that the cold light she had just seen in the woman's eyes was not fake.
Someone must have sent someone to kill her!
Xia Tian's heart sank. She was careless and didn't expect that they would use the identities of refugees to approach her.
Fortunately, there were no killers among the refugees she helped earlier, otherwise who knows what would have happened to her!
Thinking of this, I felt a surge of fear and suddenly lost interest in helping the refugees.
Xia Tian didn't say anything else during the rest of the journey. He just asked Mu Chen and Mu Feng to distribute the remaining steamed buns and didn't look outside again.
Out of sight, out of mind!
As dusk fell, they finally arrived in the capital.
Outside the city gate, Shen Nian came to pick her up.
When Xia Tian heard Mu Feng say that Chen Nian was here to pick her up, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She immediately jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the person who was striding towards her.
Chen Nian looked at the person running towards him, with the corners of his mouth curled up. When the person ran up to him, he opened his arms and hugged him tightly!
In full view of the public.
Xia Tian put his arms around Shen Nian’s waist and didn’t let go for a long time!
