After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 45: The generous donations from the people of Lijiazhuang

After Cui helped to deal with the baby's umbilical cord and wrapped it with a clean cotton handkerchief, Yuxiu also helped the woman with other things. She quickly put away the things she had taken out and checked to make sure nothing was missing before helping the woman take off the handkerchief on her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, is our wife okay?"

The people surrounding the carriage could hear the child's crying clearly, but they didn't hear the woman's shouting for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

"It's okay, come in and serve..."

Cui put the child in the woman's arms and let her hug him. Yuxiu lifted the curtain and spoke to the anxious little maid.

Everybody was very happy, praying for the gods' blessing and thanking Yuxiu and Cui for their help. One of the guards took down a bird cage from one of the carriages. There were two pigeons in the cage, and they stuffed two pieces of paper into a bamboo tube. Then they released the pigeons, apparently to deliver a message to someone.

"Wait a minute, you two..."

Seeing Yuxiu and Cui were about to get off the carriage, the woman, who had recovered from her shock, called out to them.

"Thank you for your help today, otherwise my mother and I..."

Tears glistened in her eyes as she reached out and groped in a small package beside the pillow. The little girl hurried over to help and soon took out a stack of silver bills and a small box containing jewelry.

"We didn't bring much with us on the road, so these are just to thank you for your help. If you go to the capital in the future, you must go to the Anguo Mansion for a visit. We will definitely treat you well then..."

The woman was so tired that she could not hold on after saying just a few words. Yuxiu did not refuse and took the banknote generously. She thanked her and helped Cui to leave.

"Girl, sister-in-law, this is what our wife uses every day. If you don't mind, you can keep it..."

The little girl caught up with the small box, and Yuxiu waved her hand and said:

"Keep this for yourselves. We country folk don't need it. We already have a lot of silver notes. It's enough for us."

Yuxiu just took a quick look at the banknotes. All of them were worth 100 taels. This stack must be worth at least 1,000 taels.

Seeing that they were determined not to accept it, the little girl had no choice. In addition, she was worried about her master in the carriage, so she didn't dare to leave too far, so she had to give up.

Yuxiu helped Cui towards her carriage. At this time, the two men who had been there before came over, carrying some food and dried meat in their hands.

"I see you didn't bring any dry food, so I'll give these to you. The outside world is not peaceful right now, so you two should go home quickly."

Yuxiu then realized that they had not lowered the curtain of the carriage when they got off, and the carriage was empty except for a backpack filled with some things. She did not say much, but just took it with a smile.

"Mom, sit down, let's get out of here first."

Yuxiu helped Cui get on the carriage, flicked the whip, and drove the carriage out of the grove without looking back.

She glanced at the wall clock in the supermarket. It was almost half past three. The day was almost over. Yuxiu didn't want to delay any longer, so she drove her chestnut horse as fast as she could.

Seeing a little girl driving a horse-drawn carriage, a few victims with bad intentions would jump out on the road from time to time. Yuxiu didn't ask the reason. She swung the whip in her hand with a whistling sound. She beat one if she saw one, and beat two if she saw two, without being polite to them at all.

The chestnut horse ran at a fast speed without stopping, and kept running until it was completely dark. Yuxiu drove the carriage to a small village.

According to Yuxiu's plan, the two of them would find an open place to rest and were too lazy to argue with those people. But at this moment, the voice of the small system rang again.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the system task. The mountain village has been occupied by bandits, who have lured innocent people passing by, causing countless victims to be killed. Please carry forward the chivalrous spirit of promoting good and eliminating evil, and rescue them from the water and fire. The task reward is the qualification to open a store in the mall..."

Are you qualified to open a store?

Thinking of the dazzling array of goods in the system mall, Yuxiu felt itchy.

This is amazing, she couldn't find any reason to refuse.

However, as for how to complete the task, I need to think about it carefully.

Driving the carriage into the woods, and taking advantage of the darkness where no one could see, Yuxiu first sent Cui into the space, and then thought about taking the horses and the carriage into the backyard.

This was the first time that the chestnut horse entered Yuxiu's space. It suddenly appeared in the bright yard from the pitch-black darkness. It jumped twice in fright and let out a long neigh.

Yuxiu hurried in to comfort it, then took the basin from before and added some spiritual spring water to it for it to drink.

The chestnut horse smelled the familiar smell and seemed to understand something. It drank up half the basin of water in one breath. Cui then took some cabbage leaves from the supermarket and fed them to it. Finally, it stayed in the backyard obediently.

Thinking that Yuxiu must be tired after driving the carriage all day, Cui asked her to have a good rest while she rolled up her sleeves and busied herself preparing dinner.

Cui is now very skilled in using those modern kitchen utensils, so Yuxiu can rest assured when she cooks.

"Little system, please tell me the details of this mission."

There were so many ginsengs in the flower bed in the backyard that Yuxiu tied up the horse to prevent it from being trampled by the chestnut horse. She thought that she would have to get some hay from outside and put it in the backyard next time.

Unfortunately, her backyard was too small. It was not a big place to begin with, and now with the chestnut horse and carriage, it seemed even more cramped. It would be better if it could be expanded.

"The village in front was originally called Lijia Village, and all the people living there were members of the Li family. Because there is a deep well in the village, they drink groundwater. Even though the water level has dropped a lot now, they still have water. Because of this, other villages nearby have fled the famine, but the old and young in Lijia Village have stayed in the village and rely on this well for their livelihood."

He was very familiar with Lijiazhuang's information system and explained it clearly to Yuxiu immediately.

"According to what you said, this good thing should not be done. Isn't it that the previous example of Lijiazhuang is right in front of us? You still want me to promote the spirit of chivalry? Why don't you call it the Chivalry System instead of the Famine Escape System? Let's go and do justice and laugh at the world..."

It turned out that the reason why Lijiazhuang was occupied by bandits was because the villagers were too kind. Whenever they encountered refugees who were short of water and food, they would always donate generously. Even if the villagers had to live frugally, they still wanted to save more people.

In the words of the head of the Li family, this is called accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, which is to accumulate blessings for future generations.

But looking back now, I don’t know whether he is blessed or not, as his descendants are almost gone.
