In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Chapter 24: Treat her like an ancestor

Luo Xi took Wei Zhou and rode slowly on horseback towards the official road.

We met quite a few people along the way, mostly groups of civilians. They were all skinny and had sallow faces, and it was obvious that they were suffering from long-term malnutrition.

From what they said, they should be going into the mountains to hunt wild game, dig up weeds and peel tree bark to satisfy their hunger. I don't know if they are locals or if they have fled here to escape famine.

Whenever they saw the horse under Luo Xi's crotch, they would show a greedy look, and some even drooled at the horse from a distance.

If it weren't for the terrifying aura emanating from Luo Xi from time to time, someone would have rushed over to snatch it away long ago.

"They, they are so scary." Wei Zhou was frightened by their eyes, which were like hungry wolves seeing meat, and he shrank into Luo Xi's arms desperately.

At the end of the world, Luo Xi had seen countless scenes like this, so his expression was always indifferent.

He only releases his supernatural powers from time to time to intimidate those with bad intentions.

"Don't worry about anyone else, focus on your dad and the others, don't miss them." Luo Xi instructed.

"Sister, I understand." The child's voice was timid, but his eyes were wide open.

"Luo, Madam Luo?" At this time, an uncertain voice came from Luo Xi's side.

It seems that he is lucky today. Luo Xi smiled and reined in his horse and turned around.

It turned out to be Aunt Wei.

But at this moment, she no longer had the calmness and gentleness that she had when they first met, and her face looked more anxious and vicissitudes.

"It's really you." Seeing that it was Luo Xi, Aunt Wei forced a smile: "You still haven't found your relatives?"

Luo Xi didn't answer her, but took Wei Zhou out of his arms and jumped off the horse.

"Look who this is?"

"Grandma!" Little Wei Zhou's big eyes were filled with crystal tears again.

He stretched out his little hands again and again, but he never dared to rush over and hug Aunt Wei.

"Grandma, yes, I'm sorry, Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou shouldn't have run around, so..."

But before he could finish his words, Aunt Wei hugged him and said, "My dear grandson!"

The tears that had been held back for so many days suddenly burst out and dripped onto the child's clothes, soaking a large area in a short while.

Wei Zhou finally cried out, "Grandma, grandma..."

Each and every sound contains countless thoughts.

Wei Qing, who was standing next to him, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes imperceptibly, walked up to Luo Xi, and bowed to her solemnly.

"My benefactor, you have saved our family once again, Wei..."

"It's just a coincidence." Luo Xi interrupted him and didn't think anything of it.

"No matter who you are, if you see a child you know being bullied by a bad person, you will lend a helping hand."

Of course, the premise is that the kid is also good.

Wei Qing's handsome face showed bitterness: "There are not many people who think like my benefactor."

Especially when the famine became more and more serious, most people tried to protect themselves. If other people were in Wei Zhou's situation, I'm afraid more people would stay away from him.

That's because saving him was just a piece of cake for Luo Xi.

Moreover, she did not want to lose her true nature and become a cold-blooded killing machine.

She will never show mercy to the evildoers who deserve to be killed, and she doesn't mind giving a hand to those who deserve help within her ability.

"Daddy, my sister also wants to go to Tongning County." At this time, the child Wei Zhou stopped crying.

He opened his big eyes, which looked like they had just been washed by water, and looked at Luo Xi hopefully: "How about we go together?"

Although he was asking this question to his father, his eyes were fixed on Luo Xi.

"My benefactor...what do you think?" Wei Qing asked carefully.

If they travel together, they can also repay their benefactor a little.

Luo Xi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

The collection of supplies had come to an end, and she planned to take a break and continue on at full speed.

But there is a fatal problem when traveling: there is no navigation and she doesn't know the way.

"You know the way to Tongning County, right?"

Don't wait until there are so many people around, like she did before, waiting at the intersection to ask people.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wei smiled and said, "My benefactor, you must have gotten lost and ended up in the woods, right?"

"That's not the case." Luo Xi coughed lightly: "I heard there is a spring here, and I want to clean myself up. It's too hot and I'm sweating all over."

She said half-truthfully.

"I see." Aunt Wei said, "Don't worry, benefactor. We have walked this road several times and are very familiar with it."

"It's just that water... is a bit of a problem. In the past, when there was plenty of rain, there was no shortage, but now..."

Luo Xi had expected this, so he wasn't too disappointed.

But at this time, Aunt Wei said: "Don't worry, benefactor, we still have a lot of water here. I will boil some for you when we rest."

"It's just that there may not be enough water for a bath, but it's still enough for a wash."

"No need." Luo Xi quickly refused. She was not so crazy as to use water that others were reluctant to drink to take a bath.

However, after finding a place to stay, Aunt Wei brought a servant and brought Luo Xi a large basin of hot water, and even put a new bath towel in it, which was very thoughtful.

Luo Xi's eyebrows bent unconsciously, and seeing that the water was not much, she did not refuse: "Thank you for your help, auntie."

Aunt Wei smiled and shook her head: "My benefactor, go wash in that carriage, it's safer."

Luo Xi nodded.

When she came out after washing, dinner was ready, but no one had eaten yet. They all sat aside waiting for her.

As soon as she saw Luo Xi coming out, Aunt Wei immediately and enthusiastically pushed her to the main seat: "Sit down quickly, benefactor."

"I don't know what your appetite is, so I just made a few dishes at random. Please bear with them."

Although it was a bit simple, there were still four or five dishes on the simple table made of wooden boards, which were delicious and tasty.

Luo Xi, whose cooking skills were not very good, secreted more saliva in his mouth.

"It's pretty good." she said sincerely.

Aunt Wei's worried expression was instantly replaced by a smile: "That's good, that's good."

As she spoke, she quickly called Luo Xi to start eating, and the others over there also started picking up their bowls.

You know what, Aunt Wei’s cooking skills are really good. Luo Xi was even a little full.

During the meal, Luo Xi found out that Wei Qing was actually the magistrate of Qingshi County.

"As for why you showed up here with your family during such a chaotic and disastrous time..." Wei Qing's voice gradually faded away.

His handsome eyebrows were knitted together, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he looked indescribably desolate and lonely.

Luo Xi smiled faintly. It seemed that he was another person with a story.

The next morning they set out at daybreak.

Aunt Wei even specially prepared a carriage for Luo Xi to ride alone.

"Riding a horse is too sunny. It's better to take a carriage. When you are tired, you can lie down and rest." This is what she said.

This is indeed the case. Luo Xi did not refuse: "Thank you, auntie."

Being alone in the carriage, she has convenient space to practice. This arrangement is really good.

In this way, Luo Xi joined their team. Those days were completely different from when she was alone.

Wei Qing and Aunt Wei almost treated her like an ancestor and put her first in everything.

The carriage was driven by a member of the Wei family named Wei Gang. After they had cooked the meal, they came to call Luo Xi. Even Aunt Wei wanted to take care of all the spare clothes.

Luo Xi couldn't help but sigh that the Wei family really valued righteousness.

In fact, in her opinion, helping them twice was nothing.

On this day, Luo Xi, who was a newcomer to the ancient world and didn't know the way, began to ask her questions every few days: "Where are we now?"
