TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 254 Return of the Pearl Buddha 22

Qing'er subconsciously held Hu Zi's shoulders and turned him around.

There was a slight sound in her hand, and she looked carefully, only then did she realize that the already thin clothes were stuffed with hay.

The child in front of me didn't even have a worn-out cotton coat.

"No one wants to sell you out. These are all given to you. You are familiar with this place, right? How many people like you are there?"

Qing'er felt a little sad when she saw Hu Zi's surprised look, and turned around to signal them to take the things out of the car.

Turning around, he added, "What I mean is, how many people are there who truly don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes?"

Hu Zi swallowed nervously, "This area is full of them. Anyone with a little bit of property will find a suitable place to live in the winter."

"I don't know the exact number, but I know them all."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will keep a close watch on you and prevent the bad guys from taking any advantage."

He was talking, but his eyes were fixed on the cotton coat in the guard's hand. The fresh bread exuded an enticing wheat aroma in the air.

Only when he really saw the thing in front of him did he believe that this was not a dream.

Qing'er took the cotton-padded jacket from Aunt Gui and put it on Hu Zi. "These clothes and food will be enough for you to use for a while."

"I'll come again in a few days. When winter is over, everything will be fine."

After putting on the new clothes, Hu Zi was a little afraid to move for a while.

It’s so warm. These are new clothes. He has never worn such clean clothes in his life.

After a pause, he picked up the bag of biscuits and ran to the corner, stuffed a biscuit into each of their bags, and then took off their tattered clothes and put them on himself.

Several sets of cotton-padded clothes were stuffed into their hands.

The children were so hungry that they couldn't speak and instinctively gnawed on the food in their hands.

The older one ate while looking at Hu Zi with tearful eyes.

After eating, I don’t know who will be sent away.

"Stay here peacefully, we have met some good people."

Hu Zi didn't have time to explain to them slowly. He wrapped himself up in a hurry and quickly ran back to Qing'er.

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you? Gather the people here or get some information? Just tell me what you want!"

"Don't look at my young age, but I have a good memory."

Afraid that the other party would not believe him, Hu Zi imitated the adults and knocked his chest in a very heroic manner.

"You are quite interesting. If that's the case, come and help."

"Sister Qing'er, if we call everyone out in this weather, they might get sick. Let's take some people with us to see them off so we can check on them one by one."

Yan Ning stood beside Qing'er and took in everything that happened.

I also know that the purpose of their visit today is to deliver some winter supplies to these people who are unable to survive.

She had a good impression of the leader Hu Zi, and took the initiative to ask him to come over before Qing'er spoke.

Qing'er didn't stop him, but just handed over another thick piece of clothing.

"Change your clothes. You can't wear this straw mat that doesn't keep out the wind if you're going to do something."

Before he could refuse, the clothes were forced upon him.

Hu Zi knelt on the ground holding his clothes and kowtowed several times.

He did not need to express his gratitude for the great favor. The only thing he could do now was to serve the noble man well.

The houses here were in a mess, and Hu Zi took them to knock on each door.

With this familiar person around, the people inside relaxed their vigilance a little.

Qing'er seemed to understand what the old lady meant and brought a few children to help.

Aunt Gui and the others saw nothing but the thought of intervening.

Yongji and Yongjing were not used to it at first. They wanted to go out and play and did not want to come into contact with these dirty children.

Yongjing's eyes were filled with tears, and he hid behind his brother and refused to show up.

"Brother, there's dirt on my shoes, and it's so dark in that room, I'm scared!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just stand away from Seventh Sister."

Yongqi was reluctant to move his steps. These strange-shaped houses looked like monsters, and the people inside were also so weird.

It was completely different from what he was used to seeing on the streets.

But he is the older brother and cannot back down.

Qing'er felt a little embarrassed when she saw this. After all, they were all royal relatives, so why not just let them watch from the side?

As long as you understand the suffering of the people, the effect will be the same.

At this time, Yan Ning brought out a little girl and knew at a glance that his brother was in a bad mood.

Without saying a word, he walked up and pulled Yongjing out from behind Yongqi, and then carried him into the puddle.

The thin ice surface could not withstand such an impact and shattered.

The water splashed on Yongjing's deerskin boots, leaving several deep and shallow marks.

Before Yongjing could scream, a pancake was put into his hand.

"Look, it's no big deal, right?"

"Everything here is different from the palace. Isn't it fun?"

"Sister! Sister, I want one too."

The Seventh Princess looked at this place with sparkling eyes, and struggled to get off the ground by using her hands and feet to flutter in her wet nurse's arms.

"Come down, let's go together!"

Yan Ning waved to his sister, while Yongjing beside him was still stretching his foot to test the puddle nearby.

"Okay, let's go."

Yan Ning ignored the eager looks of his younger brothers and sisters, and took them to the next room, one by one.

"elder sister?"

"Let's do our business first. We can play later. There are a lot of kids inside."

……

In order to help Yan Ning grow up quickly, the system gave her a lot of advanced teaching.

Yan Ning was surprised to see the miserable condition of these people, but he was not afraid, nor did he feel uncomfortable.

With just a few words, the two little brats were subdued. Seeing this, Yongqi followed suit.

Children themselves are not that complicated and they accept it quickly.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you hungry? This food is for you."

"Why are there grass in your clothes? Will it keep you warm? Can you play with me?"

"This? It's a purse. My mother gave it to me."

……

The two chatterboxes walked past Yan Ning and started chatting with the kids, and the group behind them grew larger and larger.

Such a big event naturally cannot stop the prying eyes of others.

Seeing the packages of things being delivered to their house, the other families couldn't sit still anymore.

I thought it was some rich kid coming to arrest someone again, but that doesn't look like it.

The smiles on Hu Zi and Dani's faces couldn't deceive anyone, as they were busy running around in their new clothes.

They had also seen wealthy families come to distribute porridge during years of disaster, and everyone knew that such benefits had to be snatched away.

Soon someone ran out of the house and said, "Please beg us, sir, for mercy. I haven't eaten for several days, and my family and children can't survive."

Qing'er felt very sorry to see the old man kneeling in front of her, so she quickly asked him to get up.

Just as she was about to ask how many people were in his family, Hu Zi jumped out and said, "Sister, wait a minute!"

Before Qing'er could react, the bag in her hand was snatched away by the person in front of her.

The man held the thing tightly in his arms, kept thanking him, and backed away as he spoke.

"Sister, stop him. He's a liar."

As soon as Hu Zi's voice came out, the guards immediately stepped forward and put the knife across the man's neck, and blocked his mouth at the same time.

"Sister, this guy's called Er Laizi. After winter came, all the adults left, and only he and a few scoundrels stayed here. When they saw us find something to eat, they came to our door to beg for it."

"He also said that the reason we were able to survive here was all thanks to his protection. If we didn't give him protection, he would take action. He just ransacked every house a few days ago."

Hu Zi ran over angrily, his eyes flashing with anger as he looked at the man on the ground. He wanted to go up and kick him hard twice.

He had hidden some food before winter. If it weren't for this beast coming to plunder, they wouldn't have lived so miserably.
