Chapter 45 The road is rough

Yue Jue's eyes were focused, and she stared at the ragged refugees calmly.

Judging from their attire, they don't look like locals from the imperial capital.

Yan Qi looked at the countless dishes such as lychee eight-treasure duck, stir-fried Wanhua chicken, anchovy fins, hydrangeas and scallops on the table, and had difficulty holding up his chopsticks.

What's a good first course?

Just when she was hesitating, Yue Jue put a white, tender and smooth shrimp into her bowl.

Yan Qi:……

It perfectly avoided all the dishes she was hesitant about. It was really heart-wrenching.

She stared blankly at the shrimps in the bowl, okay, they are still meat after all.

Jiang Qi looked at Yue Huan picking at the white shrimps in the bowl, raised the corners of his lips, and slowly ate the fish fillets with milk sauce in the bowl.

Yue Jue didn't notice Yue Huan's little movements, his attention was all focused on the refugees wandering on the street.

The chopsticks pick up the dishes unconsciously. If they encounter something that tastes good, they will subconsciously add some to Yue Huan.

Gradually, Yan Qi finally noticed something was wrong with Yue Jue.

Even Jiang Qi noticed something strange about Yue Jue. The two of them followed Yue Jue's gaze and also noticed a few people who were out of place.

They were all dirty, and in the still cold Lantern Festival, they were wearing thin and ragged clothes, and some were even barefoot, and their original skin color could no longer be seen clearly.

The well-dressed pedestrians on the road all gave way in disgust, and some even cursed angrily, "Where did the stinky beggar come from!"

They seemed to be a family of five, and the older adults were so skinny that their original appearance could not be seen.

Facing the abuse from others, the two people just held the two children tightly in their arms. The older child leaned closely against them and looked timidly at the menacing passers-by.

The older adult apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

This soft submission actually aroused the arrogance of the passerby. He stepped forward and kicked the old man, cursing: "You soiled my clothes, can you afford to pay for it?"

"Mom! Dad!" the older boy screamed, trying to catch his parents' fallen bodies, but he didn't have much strength and was brought down instead.

Father and mother?

People from East Antarctica?

Yue Jue's eyes flashed slightly. He had visited East Antarctica before, and he remembered that the people there called his parents this way.

The rest of the Yuezhi family is called daddy and mother.

Are these people refugees from East Antarctica?

The family of five fell into a heap. The man was still angry and spat out two more mouthfuls: "Since you are a beggar, you have to crawl like a dog so as not to insult your status."

The two younger children hid in their parents' arms, trembling with fear. One even cried and said with sobs: "We are not...not beggars."

"Ha! Fresh." The man seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke. He turned back and looked at the crowd of spectators: "Tell me, guys, are they beggars?"

The onlookers seemed to be afraid of him, some dodge, and some echoed: "Yes, they are."

Anger surged in Yue Jue's eyes, there was such a wanton person in the vast universe at the feet of the Emperor!

Just as he was about to make a move, he was startled by the sound of Yue Huan slamming the table.

"This is simply unreasonable!" Yan Qi was aroused and became angry. She stood up and flew out the window with a tap of her toes.

Jiang Qi's eyes tightened, and he wanted to reach out to hold her, but then he retracted his hand as if he thought of something.

"Huan'er!" Yue Jue was startled and hurriedly chased after her.

Just when a few people were desperate and helpless, an angry shout came from not far away: "Watch it!"

The older boy looked out from the crowd. He was shocked at just one glance and dared not forget it again.

She is dressed in white clothes and has a charming face, just like an immortal coming to this world.

Yan Qi landed lightly, and the crowd of onlookers automatically made way for her to pass by.

The man looked at Yan Qi who was born out of nowhere. The ferocity that had not yet appeared on his face melted into a flattering smile when he saw her face again.

"The beauty is talking to the young master? Yes, yes, the young master is really presumptuous."

"If the beauty is happy, I can be more arrogant~"

The man stared at Yan Qi's face obscenely, and what he said was extremely disgusting.

Yan Qi's pretty brows wrinkled slightly, and just as he was about to slap him, the man was kicked out and hit a stone pillar in the middle of the street before he rolled to the ground.

A big mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

"Are you worthy?" Yue Jue's face was sinister and dark, and he glanced at the embarrassed man with disgust.

Then he turned around and looked at Yue Huan nervously, and was relieved when he saw that she was not injured.

Carefully warned: "Don't be so impulsive next time, my brother is here."

The man gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain, trying hard to raise his head to see clearly who was kicking him.

After struggling for a long time, I could only see the white back of Yue Yue.

"Huan'er understands." Yan Qi noticed Yue Jue's worry and nodded in agreement.

She was also furious and flew down without thinking much.

When the road is rough, draw your sword to help.

She has a heroine complex.

Jiang Qi, who was upstairs, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yue Jue had taken Yue Huan under his wings.

He looked at Yue Huan and gave himself a cup of tea to cool down his anger.

Yue Jue took Yue Huan and walked to a few people in ragged clothes.

"You are hungry, come with me."

There are so many people out there right now, and even if Yue Jue has questions, it’s hard to ask them.

It just so happens that they have a private room in Shuiyunjian, which can be regarded as a place to talk.

Several people looked timidly at the Yue Jue brothers and sisters who looked like heavenly beings, not daring to come forward and just hugged each other tightly.

The onlookers saw that they had learned from the past and did not dare to speak out again.

But judging from the way these two people were dressed, they were both rich.

"Go with them. You can have a good meal no matter what. Even if you die, you have to be a well-fed ghost."

Someone who was hiding in the crowd shouted such a voice, and those people heard their stomachs grow loudly.

Amidst the roar of laughter from the crowd, several people felt a little embarrassed and angry.

Yan Qi saw this and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, I will take you to eat delicious food."

The young boy stared at the gentle and good-looking Yan Qi, clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and looked at his parents: "Mom and dad, let's go with her."

Then he glanced at the frail younger brothers and sisters in his parents' arms, and advised: "If we delay it any longer, my brother and sister will soon die."

The two skinny adults looked at each other and nodded sadly.

Yue Jue led several people towards Shuiyunjian. He glanced around at the crowds of people and was unsure how many pairs of eyes were watching what was happening here in the dark.

Things in East Antarctica are strange and sensitive.

If these people really came from East Antarctica, then this journey into muddy waters would become even more complicated.

The waiter at Shuiyunjian had long noticed what was happening on the street. When he saw two guests coming with ragged beggars, he couldn't decide whether to stop them.

This is a place where dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and other people come, and there is really no precedent for hosting refugees.

Just when he was hesitating, the shopkeeper whispered and let them in.

People in the lobby looked at several people with different expressions, and no one moved their chopsticks for a while.

There is no other reason. There have been no beggars in Yuezhi Imperial Capital for a long, long time.

The appearance of these refugees seems so out of place.

The shopkeeper's sight diverted everyone's attention:

"Dear guests here, all purchases will be discounted by 30%. I wish you a good meal and drink."

For a time, cheers came and went.
