Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine
Chapter 54 Grab Food
He was a man with difficulty walking, and next to him was an old lady with a cane, and two attendants, one fat and one thin.
They moved slowly, bickering and arguing. These four people were the old lady and members of the second branch of the Xiao family.
When Xiao Zhixue saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel surprised. She secretly speculated in her heart that she had never thought that they would appear on the same escape route.
I thought that after the conflict in Jinguan Town, they would choose another path.
Enemy road is narrow!
Xiao Zhixue could only curl her lips and choose to remain silent to avoid any further trouble.
Xiao Wei and Zhou Shuqiong also recognized Old Lady Xiao and her group at a glance. Zhou Shuqiong noticed that Xiao Wei pursed his lips and clenched his fists, obviously having no intention of having any interaction with them.
The village chief had sharp eyes and recognized these people who had caused a lot of trouble in the team. He was secretly glad that he had made a wise decision and did not listen to their one-sided words, which allowed Xiao Zhixue and her family to continue traveling together.
Thinking of this, the village chief became more determined to lead his fellow villagers forward, and he quickened his pace.
The team gradually approached, and a chaotic sound of footsteps came faintly from behind, attracting Wang's attention.
She turned her head and her eyes happened to meet Xiao Zhixue's family who were walking at the front of the team.
Wang's heart moved, and she quickly tugged at the corner of her husband Xiao You's clothes, and said anxiously: "Boss, look, isn't that the third brother and his family? Should we chase them and ask them, maybe we can get some food."
Along the way, Xiao Yunkai's appetite seemed to be much bigger than usual. In addition, the food they originally carried was not enough, and unfortunately they encountered a sudden attack by refugees, and their food had long been exhausted.
Having not eaten a single grain of rice for the entire day, everyone was starving and their legs were so weak that even walking seemed to be a burden.
At this moment, the bulging bag of rice on Xiao Wei's back caught Xiao You's eyes, and a sincere smile instantly broke out on his face.
Xiao You was both surprised and delighted that Xiao Wei's family could get so much food under such circumstances.
Even though Xiao Wei obtained the food through some means, he decided to make that bag of rice the savior of his family.
When Old Mrs. Xiao heard the voice, she looked up and her gaze fell on Xiao Wei's family. A complicated light flashed in her eyes.
She knew Xiao Wei's filial nature very well. If he knew that she was short of food, he would definitely lend a helping hand without hesitation.
The village chief led the group with a firm figure, not even glancing at the familiar people.
Seeing this, Xiao You felt angry and quickened his pace, almost jogging to catch up with Xiao Wei: "Third brother, stop right there! Are you so hard-hearted that you didn't even bother to greet your brother and mother? Also, is that the only food left in the family on your shoulders? Hurry and give me half, have you forgotten the love between brothers!"
As he spoke, his hand involuntarily reached towards the rice bag.
Xiao Wei was agile, and with a light side step, he easily avoided Xiao You's slightly rude snatch. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with confusion and anger: "Brother, what do you mean? We each have our own paths to take. You and I should have set up our own businesses long ago. Besides, this rice was earned through our hard work, how can you take it away at will?"
Hearing this, Xiao You became even angrier, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Why are you pretending? Mom is old and weak, and she hasn't eaten a grain of rice for several days. Can you bear to watch her suffer? Hand over the rice immediately! You are such a heartless and ungrateful ungrateful person. Mom must have been blind to raise you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked again suddenly, with a bit of ruthlessness in his movements.
At this critical moment, Zhou Shuqiong was about to step forward to persuade them, but he saw Xiao Zhixue's figure flash and stood in front of Xiao Wei. Her pair of seemingly weak hands were surprisingly strong and tightly clamped Xiao You's wrist.
Xiao You's facial features were distorted with pain, and he wailed repeatedly, "Crazy woman, let go quickly, are you trying to murder my uncle?"
Xiao Zhixue had a blank expression on her face. Not only did she not show any signs of relaxing, but she actually increased the strength in her hands, forcing Xiao You to sweat in pain like beads that slowly slid down his forehead.
When the surrounding villagers saw Xiao You's rude remarks, they all cast accusatory glances at him, some shook their heads and sighed, while others were filled with indignation.
"Ms. Xiao is usually very kind to others, but you, on the other hand, don't care about the friendship between brothers and sisters, and you even hurt others with your words. You are really shameless!"
"If I had known you were such ungrateful people, I should not have allowed you to join the migration team. Thanks to the wisdom of the village chief, he recognized your true colors in time."
The words were like sharp arrows, shooting at Xiao You one by one, making him feel unprecedentedly isolated and angry.
Xiao You's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the faces around him that he once considered his neighbors and roared, "This is our family's business. What has it got to do with you?!"
However, the villagers had long seen through the character of Xiao You's family. In addition to Zhou Shuqiong's previous revelation, they had long been aware of the fact of the separation between Xiao Zhixue's family and Xiao You, so they no longer had any sympathy or expectations for them.
At this time, the village chief stood up straight in front of the crowd, his expression solemn: "Miss Xiao's matter is our Shangqiao Village's matter. Anyone who dares to harm Miss Xiao and her family is challenging the dignity of our entire village."
The village chief's words were like a declaration of justice, drawing voices of approval and support.
"The village chief is right. Miss Xiao is a member of our village. We should protect her!"
"That's right. With us here, we will never allow anyone to bully Miss Xiao's family!"
At this moment, Wang, with a bit of anxiety and displeasure, supported Old Madam Xiao and led Xiao Yunkai to hurry over. She was full of anger and shouted at Xiao Zhixue: "You stupid girl, don't let go and stop pestering your second uncle!"
Before she finished her words, she had already raised her hand high, intending to teach this ignorant niece a lesson.
However, before her hand fell, it was firmly grasped by a strong hand, unable to move.
Wang was surprised and looked up along the hand, and met Fan Yanmu's calm and slightly cold eyes.
His seemingly unintentional move contained amazing power, which made Wang shiver involuntarily.
This strange man that Xiao You met by chance in the mountains and forests was the one whose followers almost attacked him because of his recklessness.
At this moment, he was walking side by side with Xiao Zhixue's family, and he stood out in this huge migrating group.
Wang was in a state of shock and doubt, with anxiety and confusion written all over her face, like a frightened deer.
At this time, Zhou Shuqiong, Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan acted almost at the same time to separate Wang and Xiao Zhixue.
"What are you going to do? I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything bad to our third girl, don't blame me, Zhou Shuqiong, for turning my back on you!"
