Bang! Bang! Bang! As Si Tuying knocked on the door, Jiang Fei and the others could clearly hear the murmurs of the villagers. However, none of them opened the door.
In just a short while, Si Tuying had knocked on seven or eight doors. However, none of them opened the door.
"Mother, let me open the door. That girl doesn't look like a bad person."
"Stop daydreaming, my silly son. Do you think you are worthy of a noble girl like that?"
"But she doesn't look bad at all!"
"Hmph! The more beautiful a girl is, the more dangerous she is. My silly son, you should just stay at home and herd the pigs. You can't afford to offend a girl like that! "
"But …"
"No buts! Get back into the house, or I'll break your legs! "
"Okay …"
Knock! Knock! Knock! Si Tuying was still knocking on the door. However, the conversations on the other side of the door were almost the same. As society was very strict, commoners did not dare to offend the nobles. Even though Si Tuying was very approachable, no one dared to open the door for her.
"What's wrong with these villagers? If they don't open the door, I'll kick one down. "Sylphy who was next to Jiang Fei was getting impatient.
"Forget it. You are very capable. Why bother with these commoners?" Jiang Fei waved his hand. He did not approve of such bullying.
"Hua Mulan needs to rest, but these people are not opening the door …" Sylphy was worried about Hua Mulan. Otherwise, even though she despised life, she would not bully the weak.
Creak … Right then, the door of a small courtyard opened. It was a small courtyard located in a corner of the village. It looked very old.
"Big sister, come to my house!" A little girl poked her head out and said.
"Thank you!" Si Tuying smiled and patted the little girl's head.
"You're welcome, big sister. Grandmother said that helping people in trouble makes people happy! I'm very happy now! " The little girl laughed. Her clothes were very old and even a little small. However, they were very clean.
"This little girl is so sensible!" Bella looked at the little girl and could not help but feel sad. The little girl looked like she was only five or six years old. However, she looked very thin and weak. One could tell that she was malnourished all year round.
"Let's go in first." Jiang Fei nodded. Although he did not say much, he had decided to give the little girl a great opportunity before they left.
After the group entered the courtyard one after another, it became a little crowded. Jiang Fei's group had quite a number of people. Including the pets, there were more than 20 of them.
"Come, come, come. Everyone, take a seat. Our family is poor, so we can't entertain you well, we can't entertain you well …" At this time, an old lady walked out of the main room. Because she was too old, she was already trembling as she walked.
"Granny! Your eyes aren't good. How did you get out? "The little girl quickly ran over to support the old lady.
"It's rare to have guests at home. How can I not come out to greet them!" The old lady insisted on standing at the door. Although she could not see Jiang Fei and the others, and could not do anything for them, she still came out to show her face out of courtesy.
"Jiang Jiang, Jiang." Tu Hua "The old lady stood." Fei. "Go. Tutu" Jiang Fei quickly helped the old lady back to her house. He would not be able to bear to see her hurt.
After helping the old lady back, Jiang Fei helped Hua Mulan into another spare room. However, the family was too poor. The four walls of the room were bare. Although there was a broken brick bed, there was not even a bedding.
Fortunately, Jiang Fei always had a lot of supplies with him. Therefore, there was no shortage of bedding. Soon, Bella and Nina prepared a warm bed for Hua Mulan.
"Mulan, take a rest. I will go talk to the old lady and see if I can find out where we are going." After Jiang Fei greeted Hua Mulan, he said to Bella and the others, "Take good care of her."
"Don't worry!" Bella and Nina nodded.
After leaving the small house, Jiang Fei asked the other girls and the pets to settle down in the courtyard. This family was too poor. It was impossible for them to let everyone into the house to rest.
After returning to the old lady's room, Jiang Fei found that the little girl was not there. Only the old lady was leaning against the bed. She looked very pitiful.
"Guest, you're here." The old lady could tell from the footsteps that it was not her granddaughter.
"Hehe, madam, thank you so much for taking us in." Jiang Fei smiled and sat next to the old lady.
"There's no need to thank me. It's not easy for us to travel. It's always good to help. It's just that our family is too poor. We don't even have a bowl of tea …" The old lady was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay! It's okay! "Jiang Fei waved his hand.
"Big brother, come. Drink some hot water to relieve your fatigue!" Right then, the little girl walked in with a broken porcelain bowl. There was only a bowl of plain hot water in the bowl.
"Mmm! Thank you! " At that moment, Jiang Fei was very touched. A bowl of warm water was nothing to an ordinary person, let alone someone like Jiang Fei. However, it was not so simple for this grandfather-granddaughter pair.
When Jiang Fei entered the small courtyard, he noticed that the family did not have a lot of firewood. Moreover, they only had small pieces of dried branches. When he realized that there was only an old lady and a little girl in the family, Jiang Fei understood. The old lady and the little girl could not gather firewood by themselves. They also did not have the money to buy firewood. They could only rely on the little girl to gather the broken branches and bring them back to start the fire.
However, the weather had turned cold. For the grandmother and granddaughter, if they accumulated more firewood, they might be able to survive the winter. However, if they did not have enough firewood, then the winter would be difficult for them.
Judging from the soot on the stove, the family was very frugal when cooking. They wanted to save firewood. However, the little girl was willing to use the little firewood they had to boil a bowl of hot water for them. This showed how kind the family was.
"Such people should not die of cold or hunger. Since I've met them today, I will definitely change their entire lives!" Jiang Fei secretly made up his mind.
After that, Jiang Fei chatted with the old lady. Unfortunately, the old lady had never left the small village in her life, so she did not know anything about the outside world. Although the little girl was the child of a poor family, she had taken charge of the house early and spoke like a little adult. However, because she had never been in contact with the outside world, she did not know anything.
