Everyone hurried over to the sound, only to see a chaotic scene before them.
It turned out to be a group of ragged and haggard refugees, frantically surrounding a carriage and snatching the things inside.
The carriage looked quite exquisite, and it seemed that the owner must be quite wealthy.
At this moment, the owner of the carriage was roughly pushed aside. In this crowded and chaotic crowd, he staggered and was almost trampled by the rushing refugees several times, but he kept protecting the people around him, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
On the side, the guards who were originally responsible for protecting the carriage owner were also extremely anxious at this moment.
They stretched out their arms vigorously, trying to stop the refugees who were pouring in like a tide, wanting to do their best to protect their masters.
However, the number of refugees was too large. They were like surging waves, instantly separating the guards. The guards could only watch their master suffer the danger of being hurt in the chaos, but they could not break through the wall of people to rescue him. They were so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
The village chief was a warm-hearted and responsible person. Seeing this chaotic and critical situation, he acted decisively, waving his arms and shouting to the people in Sujia Village behind him: "Everyone, don't just stand there, hurry up and help! We can't just watch others suffer!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward.
The villagers of Sujia Village have always been simple, kind and extremely united. When they heard the village chief's call, they took action without hesitation.
Some of them rushed directly into the noisy crowd, pulling hard at the refugees whose eyes had turned green due to hunger and anxiety, trying to pull them away from the carriage owners and guards; others shouted loudly, trying to use their voices to intimidate these refugees who had lost their minds and make them regain some clarity.
Finally, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the refugees who were frantically looting were finally gradually pulled away, and the encirclement slowly dispersed.
Surrounded by refugees was a young man who looked like a young gentleman. He was tightly protecting a fragile-looking girl beside him.
Although the boy's clothes were a little messy, one could still tell that the material was fine. It seemed that his family must be very well-off.
At this moment, his face was full of relief and gratitude for surviving the disaster.
The young man carefully protected his sister and slowly came to the people in Sujia Village.
He first straightened his slightly disheveled appearance, then bowed deeply and respectfully to everyone, his voice filled with unconcealed excitement and sincerity: "Thank you very much, everyone! If it weren't for your generous help today, my sister and I would have been hard-pressed to escape this predicament. I will always remember this kindness!"
After saying this, he bowed again to express his deep gratitude.
Seeing this, the village chief quickly waved his hand and said with a simple smile: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay. Everyone has difficulties when they are away from home. If you encounter something like this, we will help if we can. It's nothing. But you have to be more careful next time."
At this point, the village chief frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "But why would these refugees suddenly rush up and steal things? This is too scary."
The girl standing beside them, about twelve or thirteen years old, blushed slightly when she heard the village chief's words. Her fair face was instantly stained with a faint blush, just like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, her voice becoming softer as she spoke with a hint of self-blame, "It's all my fault. I saw these refugees on the road just now. They were all ragged, pale and thin, and looked so pitiful. I thought to myself that we still had a lot of food in the carriage, so I thought of sharing some of it with them. Who knew..."
At this point, the girl's eyes reddened slightly, and she seemed about to cry. "Who knew that once they saw the food, they would pounce on it like hungry wolves seeing their prey, snatching it all away without even listening to me. Brother...it's all my fault."
As she spoke, the girl secretly looked up at her brother beside her, her eyes full of grievance and guilt.
After hearing the girl's explanation, everyone in Sujia Village couldn't help but widen their eyes, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
One of the elderly villagers could not help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, this world is so chaotic. We have to eat dry food on the road in secret, for fear of attracting bad luck.
This kid is so good, he actually wants to give all the food in the carriage to the refugees. Isn't this asking for trouble! He doesn't even think about the fact that those refugees have been hungry for so long, their eyes are green with hunger, how can they have any rationality when they see food? If they don't rob you, who else can they rob?
Yao Qingshuang, who was standing by, couldn't help but roll her eyes and curl her lips when she heard this. Her face was full of disdain, and she muttered in her heart: "Huh, look at this, she's just an innocent young lady who knows nothing and has no common sense at all. She's simply a saint!"
In this chaotic world, she dares to act so rashly without even considering her own safety. If she hadn't happened to meet us today, she would have lost her life just based on her foolish behavior."
Thinking of this, Yao Qingshuang paused slightly, then glanced at the brother standing next to the girl. She couldn't help but sigh softly, looking at him with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "Alas, I just pity this brother. He has to worry and be frightened for no reason, and he has to protect such a heartless sister. It's really not easy."
The young man bent down slightly, reached out and gently patted his sister's head, his action full of pampering and care.
His eyes were filled with tenderness, and a smile played on his lips. He patiently comforted his sister, "Okay, okay, little sister, I'm fine. I know you're just too kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer. Your kindness is extremely rare, and I'm very pleased."
The young man paused, sighed softly, and continued, "However, this world is not peaceful, so we must be more cautious in the future. This incident should serve as a reminder for us. We must not act so rashly again."
Yao Qingshuang, standing by, crossed her arms. After hearing what the young man said, she couldn't help but curl her lips and mutter under her breath, "Hmph, well, look at what this has become. They're like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten, and they're happy with it. And we're still here worrying about it, rushing over to help, but it's all in vain. It's really speechless."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes, looking helpless.
