Chapter 28 Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda
"Wow, Third Sister-in-law, where did you get all these things? Why do they look so strange?" Xie Mohuan couldn't contain herself and asked impatiently as soon as she saw them.
The others also looked at Ji Yunshu with puzzled expressions.
The packaging and colors of these items look very nice, so they must be expensive. The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was no small family before; they had eaten plenty of delicacies and seen many strange things, but they had never seen anything like these before.
Ji Yunshu smiled faintly, took out a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk from her bundle, and after distributing them, there was still quite a bit left in the bundle.
"Mother, little sister, these are all foods. They were brought to me by the owner of the Haitang shop who came to the post station to find me yesterday. I put them in our carriage. I've tried them, and they taste very good. You should try them too."
It's lunchtime now, and the officials probably won't let us light a fire to cook. Let's make do with this for now, and we'll cook something later in the afternoon.
When Boss Haitang delivered the items yesterday, the people from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion didn't see what was inside. Now, she can say whatever she wants.
Sure enough, upon hearing her say that, no one doubted her, and they began to study how to eat the food with curiosity.
Ji Yunshu took a loaf of bread from a bundle beside her, tore open the bread bag in a few quick movements, opened the milk straw, inserted the straw into the milk carton, and taught them how to drink it.
Everyone followed her example and began eating the bread and milk in their hands. The combination of bread and milk created a wonderful flavor in their mouths, and everyone nodded in approval as they ate.
"Wow, this stuff is so delicious! It tastes completely different from the fried chicken we had yesterday! That owner of Haitang is amazing; he can make so many delicious things!"
Ji Yunshu smiled but didn't explain further.
She told them to eat slowly in the carriage, while she jumped off and went back to another carriage.
She got into the carriage and started rummaging through the pile of things again. There were only the two of them in the carriage, Xie Moyao and Xie Moyao. Since Xie Moyao had difficulty moving around, she did things even more casually.
A moment later, she poked her head out from a pile of messy things, holding a few loaves of bread and two bottles of milk. She immediately opened a loaf of bread, took a bite in front of Xie Moyao, drank a sip of milk, and then put it aside.
"This is all the food we have in the car for now. Have something to eat first, and we'll cook something else in the afternoon. The situation outside is a bit complicated, so you can eat in the car while I go outside and keep watch."
After saying that, she opened Xie Moyao's bread and milk and placed them where Xie Moyao could reach them before taking her own bread and milk and getting off the carriage.
Before disembarking from the carriage, worried that Xie Moyao might become suspicious, she turned around and said something.
"Well, these things were delivered to us yesterday by the owner of Haitang Restaurant."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xie Moyao looking at her with a half-smile. Ji Yunshu almost stumbled over her own words. She felt that her explanation was somewhat redundant.
Without thinking about anything else, he turned around and jumped off the carriage.
After Ji Yunshu left, Xie Moyao picked up the bread and milk that were open to the side, took a bite of the bread, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. With a sip of milk, the taste was a bit strange, but surprisingly delicious.
His wife is really something else; where did she get all these strange and wonderful things from?
Apart from the people from the Prince's Mansion, everyone else had come out of their own carriages to cool off outside, eating their dry rations as they did so, sitting in small groups of two or three.
Ji Yunshu sat alone outside the carriage, warily looking around. She concealed the bread and milk in her hands with her sleeve, eating with relish. Suddenly, someone tugged at her clothes from behind.
"Miss, miss, please give us some food! Please give us some food! We're starving if we don't eat!"
Perhaps seeing her alone outside the horse, a refugee somehow circled around behind her, tugging at her clothes and reaching for the bread and milk in her hands.
Ji Yunshu frowned, quickly stuffed the bread in her hand into her mouth, threw the bread bag and the money for the milk into her spatial storage, then turned around and shoved away the disaster victim who was grabbing her clothes, her tone cold and hard.
"Stay away from me, I have no food on me!"
Seeing her like this, the disaster victims were terrified, but they still knelt down with a thud and scrambled towards her.
"Miss, please have some kindness! We beg you, please give us some food! If we don't eat, we'll really starve to death! Please, please, you have a kind heart, you're beautiful and kind-hearted, please give us some food!"
As the disaster victims spoke, they crawled over on their knees and tried to grab Ji Yunshu's clothes.
Ji Yunshu's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was even colder and harder than before.
"I told you, I don't have any food here. If you're hungry, go find something to eat elsewhere. If you don't move away from me, don't blame me for being impolite."
The disaster victims paused, unsure whether to continue pestering Ji Yunshu. Just then, Ji Yunyao said coolly,
"Hey, what's the use of begging her? She's really cold-hearted. Yesterday we saw someone bring her a ton of good food, a huge pile! There's probably a huge amount piled up in the carriage right now. No matter how much you beg her, she definitely won't give it to you!"
"What a heartless wretch! These people are starving to death, what's wrong with giving them a little something? They just want to survive, why treat them like this?"
After Ji Yunyao finished speaking, Zhou Yanran continued:
"They really are born of the same father, neither of them are good people. Ji Yunshu, that person sent you so much food yesterday. We could smell the fried chicken upstairs, it smelled amazing. It seems you didn't finish it all. There must be some left in the carriage. Why don't you give some to him? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"And Ji Yunyao, don't just say they're heartless. You're so kind, why don't you give some food to these disaster victims? I remember we went out to buy supplies together yesterday, and you bought quite a lot of food—I heard it filled a whole cart! You're beautiful and kind-hearted, why don't you give some to them?"
Ji Yunshu's lips twitched slightly. These two idiots, with so many disaster victims around, do they want everyone to know they have supplies in their vehicle?!
Before she could speak, Ji Yunshu pointed at Zhou Yanran and started cursing.
"You bitch, when have I ever needed your opinions on what I do? Whether I'm beautiful and kind-hearted is none of your business. I just feel sorry for these people, so what! Even without you saying anything, I would still give them some food. Do you think I'm a cold-blooded animal like you, devoid of humanity?!"
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow. Well, Ji Yunyao, that idiot, lost her temper again after being angered by Zhou Yanran's few words. Does she really think she's a bodhisattva? Fine, if she wants to be a bodhisattva, then let her be one.
Looking at the disaster victims still kneeling at her feet, she tilted her head towards Ji Yunyao and the others, her tone slightly gloating.
"What are you still kneeling here for? Didn't you hear what that young lady just said? She said she had food in her carriage and wanted to share it with you. What are you still kneeling here for? Aren't you going to go and get your food?"
The disaster victims were stunned for a moment, their eyes lit up, and they quickly got up and ran towards Ji Yunyao.
