Repaying kindness with hatred
Seeing the strong wind on the side of the canal, Lu Nanzhi looked at Shen Lanze and said, "I wonder if there are fish in the river! Let's go get a fishhook to fish and see. If we can adjust the fish, we can make a pot of steaming fish. Soup is also good.”
Anyway, on the edge of the Grand Canal, even if they catch fish, the victims should not be jealous. If they want to eat, they can catch it themselves!
Shen Lanze nodded and said, "Okay."
The two took out a needle, made a fishhook, used some steamed buns as bait, walked to the river, and caught fish.
As soon as I dropped the fishhook, I saw an official ship docking slowly on the shore.
A young girl wearing gold and silver stepped out of the boat, followed by a maid.
The maid is also wearing fine materials.
"I want to walk along this shore! I'm so dizzy, the boat is shaking all the way." With the help of the maid, the girl started walking along the river to relieve the pain of seasickness.
Seeing that the riverside was full of homeless people with sallow complexions and skinny bones, the girl showed a trace of unbearability on her face.
"Why are there so many refugees? These refugees are so pitiful." The girl took out her purse, looked at the maid, and said, "Xiao Cui, give these money to them so that they can buy something to eat. Full belly.”
The maid took the purse and said: "Miss, you are really kind-hearted. These refugees are lucky to meet you."
These words happened to be heard by Lu Nanzhi next to him.
With a look of panic on her face, she stepped forward suddenly, looked at the girl, and said, "Girl, what you're doing is inappropriate. You'd better get back to the boat quickly."
These refugees are at the end of their rope, and their families don’t even dare to cook porridge anymore. If this money is used, this girl will definitely become a favorite in the eyes of these refugees, and the consequences will be disastrous!
However, the maid directly took out a few coins and handed them to Lu Nanzhi, saying: "Take it, our young lady has a heart like a Bodhisattva. You are lucky."
However, Lu Nanzhi did not reach out to take the money from her. Instead, he looked at the master and servant with a solemn expression and said: "Girl, I advise you not to do this, as it will cause death for yourself. Get back to the ship quickly. This is not the place you should be."
As he spoke, Lu Nanzhi pushed her anxiously, signaling her to leave quickly.
However, the maid suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Lu Nanzhi's wrist hard, scolding: "What the hell is going on with you, a homeless person! Our lady kindly gave you money! You also dragged our lady! Are you? Want to take the whole wallet? There are so many refugees here, I can’t help you!"
As she said this, she angrily took back the copper coins, looked at the refugees, and said at the top of her voice: "Everyone, come here to get the coins. Our young lady is kind-hearted and will share all the broken silver with you so that you can have enough to eat." eat."
As soon as they heard about the money, the refugees rushed forward and soon surrounded them.
The money in the money bag was quickly divided. Xiaocui said hurriedly: "Okay! Okay! All the money we have has been divided! First come, first served! Let's disperse quickly!"
However, it is easy to call these refugees over, but how can it be so easy to let them disperse?
"You called us here! But you didn't pay any attention to the money! Aren't you kidding us?"
"Why did you divide it between them and not give it to us?"
"Why did you give that woman three copper coins! I only have one copper coin!"
I thought these refugees would be grateful to them and even kneel down to thank them, but I didn't expect this to happen.
The little girl and the maid were both frightened, and their faces turned pale.
However, something more extreme was yet to come.
"You are living Bodhisattvas. Give us all the jewelry and jade pendants on your heads!"
These refugees swarmed up and began to snatch the jewelry from both of their heads.
"Your clothes are nice. My daughter has never worn such nice clothes. Living Bodhisattva, please give us these clothes too!"
"She came off the official ship. It's better for us to hijack her and ask the people on the official ship for ransom! This way everyone can share more money!"
As he said this, someone actually wanted to come forward and tie them up directly.
The girl and the maid had never seen such a formation before, and they were so frightened that they screamed.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Shen Lanze and Lu Nanzhi frowned anxiously, immediately took out their swords and daggers, and shouted: "You are not allowed to come up! We will stab whoever comes up!"
