Chapter 84
"It's an old man."

Immediately afterwards, the dilapidated car curtain was raised, and Xiao Muyue asked, "How is the person?"

Yun Yi jumped down to take a look, and hurriedly came back to report: "Madam Qi, I didn't hit anyone. According to my subordinates, I must have fainted from hunger."

Xiao Muyue frowned, jumped off the carriage, and walked to the carriage.

"Father, don't die, father... father."

In front of the carriage, a pretty little girl was crying until the sky was dark.

Xiao Muyue got out of the car and took a look at the old man who was being held by the little girl. His face was yellow and thin, only a layer of skin and bones remained, which looked scary.

At this moment, the old man was unconscious.

Xiao Muyue looked at Hanxi.

Hanxi immediately understood, and sent a gray bag in the car to Xiao Muyue.

This is the dry food they prepared.

Because sometimes passers-by fainted like this, and they couldn't do nothing but prepare some dry food in the car.

"Go get some water."

Hanxi fetched another water bag.

Xiao Muyue took the water bag and brought it in front of the little girl, "Let your father drink some water first, wake him up before eating."

When the little girl heard the kind voice beside her, she instinctively turned her face away.

Xiao Muyue was dressed in coarse linen, a woman's attire, and a human skin mask on her face, so she couldn't see her original appearance at all.

Bring the water in your hand to her face.

Only then did the little girl realize that there were many people standing beside her, and she cringed.

Xiao Muyue took the water in her hand and sent it forward, "If you don't feed your father, he will starve to death!"

Xiao Muyue shook the gray cloth bag in her hand.

The little girl had fear and anticipation in her eyes, but she stretched out her hand, grabbed the water bag, and hurriedly fed it to the old man.

After drinking the water, the old man coughed lightly and woke up.

Xiao Muyue squatted aside, immediately opened the cloth bag in her hand, took out a snow-white steamed bun, and brought it to the old man, "Old man, eat quickly, I fainted from hunger."

The old man subconsciously grabbed the steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and devoured it hungrily.

However, after taking a bite, he suddenly stopped and looked at the little girl beside him, "Girl, girl, are you hungry—"

The little girl wiped away tears, "Father, I'm not hungry, I've already eaten, eat quickly."

The old man said stubbornly: "Father can't do it anymore. Daddy's keeping this old life is also a drag on you, girl, I'd better keep it for you."

The little girl's eyes were hot, and the tears fell down, "Father, the girl is not hungry, she is really not hungry. The girl has eaten, and it was all given by this aunt. Dad, you can rest assured."

The old man sat up and sighed: "Madam, thank you for saving our father and daughter."

Xiao Muyue smiled, "So in the future, I can't commit suicide again. You startle others like this. If others want your daughter to pay compensation, it's not helping her, it's hurting her. Not only will she lose her family, but she will also be burdened for the rest of her life." debt."

A look of fear flashed in the old man's eyes, he looked at the woman in front of him, slapped the ground with his palm, and said, "You're confused!"

Xiao Muyue glanced at the little girl, "Girl, why don't you help your father to sit by the side of the road, why don't you just sleep in the middle of the road like this."

The little girl was also filial, she didn't have time to eat and drink, she immediately waited back and forth, she was so busy that she was sweating profusely, she couldn't stand on her feet, so she sat down to rest.

Beside the muddy road, the old man was eating dry food, full of tears and confusion. After seeing the little girl, he seemed to be firm again.

On the one hand, the girl scattered almost all the dry food, leaving only a piece of steamed bun for herself, and ran back happily, sitting next to the old man to eat.

"Father, slow down... drink some water."

"Hey."

"Father, be careful not to choke."

"Hey."

Father and daughter enjoy themselves together.

Xiao Muyue stood beside the carriage, waiting for the two to finish eating.

"Two."

The old man was busy pulling the little girl, and was about to kneel down on the ground, but was supported by Xiao Muyue, "You two, you are welcome, I just want to inquire about the situation."

The old man said: "Madam, I don't know what this lady wants to ask! As long as we know, we must tell Madam."'

Xiao Muyue pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, where is your family from, and did you leave your hometown because of the flood? I saw that you two don't even have any luggage..."

The old man sighed fiercely, "My lady doesn't know something! We are not running away from famine, we are running away."

When the old man said this, everyone immediately noticed something unusual.

It was only then that they noticed that the two had no luggage, and their clothes were worn out like ordinary fleeing refugees.

No wonder the princess just said that she was not in a hurry——

Mo Qiancheng's face was pale, and at some point, he had already stood under the carriage, looking at Xiao Muyue and the father and daughter.

The old man said: "My girl and I used to be commoners in Miao Town, not far away. A family of three lived comfortably. However, since more than a year ago, children have been missing in the town, causing panic. The girl's mother Originally I was not in good health, but because of this incident, I couldn't afford to get sick, and I was worried every day, and finally because of one incident, my condition worsened, so I went away."

Xiao Muyue had a calm face, and her brows could not help but frown, "You mean, there are people in the town arresting children, and moreover, people in the town can't leave the town, otherwise they will be killed."

The old man sighed, with a sad face, "Yes!"

Xiao Muyue glanced at Mo Qiancheng, and a dark color flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"Then old man, how...how did you come out this time!"

The old man said: "It's her mother who has gone, and I feel more and more uneasy. No, I escaped because of the funeral at home, so I'm penniless."

When the old man said this, he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

Looking at the little girl beside him, his eyes were full of worry, for fear that the little girl would be murdered.

Would rather starve to death on the road.

Xiao Muyue sighed softly, and gave some scattered silver in her hand to the father and daughter.

"The money should be enough for you to go to Yongcheng."

"No! Madam, we have already taken so much dry food, why do we need Madam's money!"

Xiao Muyue stuffed the money into their hands, "Take it, this is your reward. Didn't I ask you some questions to delay your journey time."

The old man was grateful.

This is not a delay, it clearly saved them.

I don't know what the identities of these benefactors are.

The old man still wanted to refuse.

Xiao Muyue said again: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the girl. What will she do if you are gone?"

The old man sighed fiercely, "Madam, we still can't take this money. It is already a great kindness for Madam to save my father and daughter."

"How about this! Old man, I'll use these for you first, and return them to me when you have money." Knowing that they were not fleeing famine, but were forced to leave, Xiao Muyue had an idea in her heart.
