Dress up and fight!

Chapter 980 Shameless Kindness (3)

When life was good, Meng's character weakness was not obvious, but now after suffering, Meng's character flaws are revealed.

Along the way, as long as the Meng family saw poor people who couldn't eat, they wanted to help them.

Once the subordinates raised doubts, Meng would stare at them with the eyes of "how could you be such a cruel person" until they ignored her any more.

Thanks to Meng's blessing, before they left the Central Plains, they had already eaten almost all the food they had exchanged.

Several servants discussed with each other, and then told Meng Shi the seriousness of the matter, and obtained Meng Shi's consent to use their belongings to exchange food with those villagers.

And also told Meng Shi that when she arrived at the farm, no matter what the other party said, she had to pretend that she didn't hear anything.

Mrs. Meng promised well, but when she arrived at the villagers' homes and was told by them in a few words, Mrs. Meng regarded herself as a living Bodhisattva to save suffering.

Not only did he agree to the unreasonable requests of those villagers, he even reprimanded his maid on the spot for being vicious.

Meng Shi's words made these maids very desperate. The headgear on their bodies was something they cherished most in their daily lives. If it weren't for the disaster of the master's family, who would be willing to exchange these things.

But look at what they got back in exchange. A pearl hairpin was exchanged for only a cornmeal pancake with a tooth mark on it.

A pair of pure gold earrings were replaced with half a bowl of mixed corn and rice. There were several gaps in the bowl, and the stubble on it made them wonder how to put it in their mouths.

A mutton jade finger was only exchanged for ten corn cobs, and the Diao woman on the opposite side was still sitting on the ground, patting her thigh and crying that she had suffered a loss.

Seeing the poor woman crying pitifully, Mrs. Meng even ordered them to return five corn cobs, lest she really suffer a big loss.

A few maids just wanted to cry: Who is the loser? That jade ring finger was rewarded by the emperor when the master was in high spirits. Not to mention ten corn cobs, it is enough to buy thousands of acres of cornfields.

Just by looking at the tricky look of the old woman without a single tear in her eyes, they knew that this person definitely knew how valuable the finger puller was.

Seeing Mrs. Meng talking, the old woman nodded her thanks and looked at these people sneakily.

She wanted to know: How much more could she get out of these fools with money and money.

In the end, Meng's group left hungry, and the little things they got in exchange were not enough to fill their stomachs.

The difference from before is that their belongings have not been reduced by a single bit.

In the days that followed, they continued to exchange food while on the road.

Although it is not always possible to meet those farmers who are robbed of their hearts, as soon as there is more food, the Meng family can't help but give it to others.

And she often reprimanded these servants who became more and more pale and thin because of the burden and hunger: The world is suffering, we can help as much as we can, otherwise we will be punished by God in the future.

The subordinates looked at Meng's face, which was still white and round except for the haggardness caused by the daily grief and autumn, and couldn't say anything, so they could only comfort themselves numbly: think about it, wait for them If you starve to death, maybe you will be relieved.

Since the Meng family returned home from a visit to relatives, they did not bring much belongings with them, and there was no way to use the bank notes from the Central Plains in the territory of the Qiang people.

Therefore, the further they go, the poorer they become, and in the end they can't even exchange for food.

They are all women in the back house, and they don't have any special skills.

It is difficult for them to drive a carriage on weekdays. They really don't know how to do technical tasks like hunting and fishing.

As a result, there was less and less food for them to eat, and as time went on, even Meng's cheeks were suffocated, let alone Mo Wanxia, ​​who was not yet five years old.

Mo Wanxia is sensible, she vaguely knows that something happened in her family and she needs to keep on her way sooner or later.

Therefore, along the way, Mo Wanxia was quiet as if she was not a five-year-old child, but it made people feel a little more pity.

Mother Fang, who was beside Meng Shi, was originally her nanny. After Mo Wanxia was born, she proposed to Meng Shi to take care of Mo Wanxia, ​​so she naturally had a deeper affection for them.

At this time, seeing that his young lady and young lady were starting to be hungry, the nanny saw it and was worried.

It's a pity that she is the son of a rich family. If you ask her to talk about the privacy of the big family, she is good at taking charge of the middle class and raising flowers and plants.

But if she was asked to look for food in the wild, her eyes would be darkened.

Thinking that they were going on the road in a carriage, but the two horses could not be killed, in the end Nanny Fang became cruel, and during a rest, she left the carriage alone.

After a long time, when Mrs. Meng was waiting for someone to find her, she saw Nanny Fang limping back with a knife of meat wrapped in green grass.

After handing over the meat to Mrs. Meng, Nanny Fang said that she was tired, so she climbed into the carriage and fell asleep alone.

The little maids all looked at Nanny Fang with disgust, as if they knew something.

But under Meng Shi's urging, he still quickly carried the meat to cook.

Meng Shi looked at the pot expectantly: since she ran away for her life, she really hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

Only Mo Wanxia stayed beside Nanny Fang alone, touching his head and her hand for a while, feeling very anxious: she smelled the bloody smell that often appeared on Daddy's body from Nanny Fang, and golden sores The smell of medicine.

The possible injury of Nanny Fang made Mo Wanxia very anxious, she even ignored Meng's voice calling her to eat meat: she didn't want to lose Nanny Fang.

Meng shi's appetite is very small, but after she is full, she still knows to save some for Mo Wanxia.

But before Mo Wanxia got off the carriage, a down-and-out Qiang woman appeared in front of them with two children.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the mother and son, Meng's sympathy burst instantly, and without even thinking about it, he even gave the mother and son the meat and pot together.

The woman originally wanted to come over to set up a bowl of hot soup, but who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected surprise, such an exquisite small pot is worth a lot of money.

So the woman, after thanking Mr. Meng a thousand times, ran away quickly with the pot in her arms and her two children, for fear that Mrs. Meng would regret it.

Seeing the back of the woman leaving, Meng's heart was full of pride, and she didn't notice the despairing faces of the servants at all.

Feeling that her realm of life had been sublimated again, Meng turned her head contentedly, just in time to meet Mo Wanxia's expressionless face.

It may be due to a kind of instinct. Although Meng Shi is not smart, he has a very obvious perception of other people's emotions.
