Chapter 59 59. Liu: Should I reject him or not? (Please read on!)
Feel Ning Mu's hot heart.

Liu Qingmei's eyes flickered, and she coughed lightly and added: "Well, I usually wear clothes outside."

[Hint: Congratulations to the host for completing Mission 500. You will be rewarded with 50 practice points, 1 companion points, and Giant Breast Pill! ]

……

[Hint: Liu Qingmei, the owner of subsystem No. 50, completed Task 1 and rewarded the host with 2 practice points, Jing-storing Pill, and % Liu Qingmei's loyalty value! ]

76%!

We are getting closer and closer to opening the second system!
Ning Mu's eyes lit up in excitement.

When Liu Qingmei saw this expression, she was immediately frightened!
Brat... could it be that you can't help it anymore?

Should I reject him?
But if they don't refuse, once the truth comes out, they will no longer be able to stand in this vast world...

Just as Ning Mu and Liu Qingmei each received feedback from the system in the car.

Liu Qingmei was feeling extremely conflicted.

Sudden.

A voice sounded at the window.

"Master, Madam, there are so many refugees outside!"

It is the sound of summer cicadas.

She hadn't intended to bother reminding the people in the car.

But there were simply too many refugees, and they were threatening to attack the cavalry. If they had not been frightened by the threat of the giant beast Iron-hoofed Cloud Lion, which was more than a meter tall, and several armed disciples of the Cangjian Villa in the cavalry, the refugees would have already rushed up, dispersed the cavalry, and snatched the supplies to fill their stomachs.

inside the car.

Hearing the voice of Xia Chan, Ning Mu and Liu Qingmei were both startled.

Sure enough, just by listening, there was a loud noise outside.

Ning Mu frowned slightly.

He also vaguely felt that the old driver was very manic at the moment.

Liu Qingmei hurriedly picked up her clothes and put them on.

Ning Mu stood in front of Liu Qingmei, secretly opened a corner of the window, and looked at the situation outside.

On both sides of the official road, there was an endless stream of refugees, including old people and children, as well as skinny young men in their prime. There was a young woman holding one child in her arms, holding two by the hands, and carrying a pile of sundries on her back.

Almost all of them had unkempt hair, sallow complexions, and dull eyes.

A small number of them kept their eyes fixed on the cavalry. Their pale eyes showed ill intentions, but they were frightened by the intimidation and dared not move rashly.

But most people were timid and did not dare to clash with the cavalry.

Obviously, most of the latter are accustomed to being oppressed.

"What's going on?"

Ning Mu asked Xia Chan through the window.

Xia Chan's face was tense. As she drove the horse to get on the carriage, she explained in a low voice, "Master, I have found out that the dam of the Jingshui River was washed away by the flood. These are the people from the nine counties and fifty-four towns on both sides of the river that were affected in the east of Yonghang Prefecture. They are homeless, and those who are still alive can only go to Yonghang to find a way to survive."

The Lingshui River is one of the branches of the Hanjiang River. It passes through the entire Yonghang Prefecture and flows into the West Lake.

Disaster victims...

Ning Mu frowned, he couldn't help but think of the continuous heavy rain that lasted for nearly ten days a few days ago!

The weather is not good!
Ning Mu never thought of himself as a kind person.

He could have no psychological burden and take advantage of Ye Bufan's serious injury to use the system to lure Liu Qingmei.

He could eat the spring angels and summer cicadas without any pressure on the first day they came to serve him.

He could act recklessly on Ning Xiaoxiu, the evil witch, venting his evil thoughts and applying everything he had seen and heard in his previous life to her.

but……

Seeing those disaster victims, who were gathered in groups with pale faces and colorless eyes, my heart couldn't help but wrench in my throat.

He recalled how he could not afford to go to school in his previous life, had to go out early to make a living, and how he worked as a handyman in a stable in this life. Once upon a time, he and these disaster victims were at the bottom of society and suffered oppression.

It is difficult to fill your stomach, let alone realize your lofty ideals!

Subconsciously.

He decided to lend a helping hand.

But with a change of mind, he stopped himself from having this unwise idea.

These overwhelming numbers of refugees gathered on both sides of the official road and poured into Yonghang Prefecture like a tide. There were probably tens of thousands of them.

With just him, what can he use to help?

All in all, this is the business of the imperial court and those great philanthropists.

More importantly, the cavalry did not carry much supplies, all of which were needed for them to temporarily settle down in Yonghang. If they gave some to the victims, what would happen to those victims who did not receive any supplies?
People do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality!

At that time, the victims will inevitably resist hunger and hope for survival.

Conflicts and attacks on cavalry are minor matters.

With so many disaster victims rushing in at the same time, there will inevitably be a traffic jam.

Can we kill them?
Too cruel.

But if they don’t kill, the impact will inevitably cause serious trampling, fighting, and even cannibalism!
These are not what he wants to see!

As his mind turned, Ning Mu lowered his voice and ordered, "Xia Chan, tell the people behind to catch up quickly and be prepared. Unless necessary, do not clash with the disaster victims. Enter the city quickly!"

"Yes!"

Xia Chan accepted the order with a serious expression, then turned his horse around to notify the cavalry behind.

Ning Mu controlled the old driver with his mind, walked in the middle of the official road, tried his best not to bump into the group of disaster victims, and rushed forward quickly.

Liu Qingmei put on her clothes, opened the window and looked outside.

"Xiao Mu, are you too cold?"

Liu Qingmei frowned slightly, feeling sorry for it.

At times like this, anyone with a kind heart should lend a helping hand and help whoever they can.

Ning Mu shook his head and explained carefully.

After hearing his words, Liu Qingmei felt ashamed and her eyes flickered.

It turns out that Xiaomu’s considerations are so long-term.

My considerations are not as thorough as his!
At this time, Ning Mu sighed and continued, "It's not that I can't help, but with my current ability, I can't give them better help. It's better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. If we want to help them, the premise must be that they can survive. What's the use of simply giving them a meal? After this meal, how are they going to solve the next meal?"

"So, what are you going to do?" Liu Qingmei looked at Ning Mu in surprise.

These words could not help but make her beautiful peach blossom eyes reveal a strong curiosity.

It was as if I was meeting Ning Mu for the first time.

This handsome young man who was a stable boy, although they were already master and apprentice, was more influenced by the system and did not understand too much.

I always thought he was just a little devil.

Now it seems that he has ideas and awareness far beyond that of a menial servant.

The words he speaks are always so simple and easy to understand, yet seem to contain endless philosophy.

Ning Mu smiled and shrugged, saying helplessly: "What can I do? It is the government and those kind people who are good at helping them. It is not the turn of a small character like me to help."

Liu Qingmei's face suddenly fell.

Brat.

I just thought he was a good guy, and then he said something like this.

She pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "What if the government and the gentry don't care?"
