Shen Xiaoyan took Yue Qingxin's hand, squeezed it gently, and then said, "Let's cut the nonsense. My dear, it's so late, you should be going back to your own home. You're not young anymore, and clinging to a man's clothes like this, how can you… be shameless?"
Shen Xiaoyan felt that she had chosen her words carefully and would not cause any harm to Lin Xiaowei.
However, she had overestimated Lin Xiaowei's resilience.
Because after she finished speaking, Lin Xiaowei's eyes were already filled with tears.
"I... I am alone, with no family and no home."
What does it matter to me that you have no family?
I naturally know you have no family; you are an isekai'd person. It would be a ghost if you had family here.
Shen Xiaoyan grumbled incessantly in her heart, while Lin Xiaowei had already grabbed Yi Zhixie's sleeve again.
"I... handsome... that is, young master, you saved me, so I must repay you. Although I can't do much, I can cook and wash clothes for you."
After speaking, Lin Xiaowei looked at Yi Zhixie expectantly, hoping he would agree.
Yi Zhixie looked at Lin Xiaowei's face for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
Seeing Yi Zhixie smile, Lin Xiaowei also started to smile.
"Those who want to be my servant can line up all the way to the imperial capital."
The smile on Lin Xiaowei's face froze as Yi Zhixie said this.
"You... you don't want me to?"
"Of course not."
Yi Zhixie said, forcibly pulling his sleeve back, and looked at Lin Xiaowei coldly, saying, "I'll say it one last time. Don't follow me. If you dare to follow again, I will kill you."
After speaking, Yi Zhixie ignored her and walked forward.
Who knew that as soon as he walked out of the crowd, Yi Zhixie saw Namu Zhong standing by the gate.
Because of the cold weather and the crowd, Namu Zhong had not gone out with them today but had stayed inside to cultivate.
Yi Zhixie saw the cold expression on Namu Zhong's face and knew that Namu Zhong must have seen what had just happened.
"Muzhong, what are you doing out in this cold weather? Let's go back. Aunt Qu must have made a lot of delicious food waiting for us. Let's go see if there's anything I like to eat."
Yi Zhixie said, walking forward and taking Namu Zhong's hand towards the gate.
Namu Zhong did not refuse and followed Yi Zhixie into the gate.
However, before the two of them could step onto the stairs.
Lin Xiaowei had already rushed over, knelt down with a thud at Namu Zhong's feet, grabbed the hem of Namu Zhong's clothes, and begged desperately.
"My lady, I beg you, I am truly homeless. The weather is so cold tonight. If I have to stay outside for a night, I might freeze to death."
Namu Zhong looked down at Lin Xiaowei, who was clinging to her clothes and crying incessantly. A murderous glint flashed in her eyes.
"What does your death have to do with me?"
Lin Xiaowei's sobbing stopped abruptly at these words.
She looked up, surprised, at Namu Zhong.
She was clearly a beautiful woman with a lovely appearance, but why did her words sound so cold, without even a shred of sympathy?
Didn't novels say that ladies from noble families in ancient times were all kind-hearted?
Didn't they all feel reluctant to even step on an ant?
Weren't they all eager to help the needy and save the dying?
Why were the people she met today all cold-hearted?
This indifferent demeanor was almost comparable to the scum in the apocalypse.
Lin Xiaowei's mind raced, but she was unwilling to give up just yet. Otherwise, she would have to sleep outdoors tonight.
In this weather, she would probably freeze to death before midnight.
Even though she wanted to struggle a bit more, no one gave her the chance.
Namu Zhong shook off Yi Zhixie's hand and strode up the stairs.
Seeing this, Yi Zhixie secretly cursed her bad luck. She wanted to kill Lin Xiaowei with a palm strike, but she thought that appeasing Namu Zhong was more important.
Therefore, she quickly followed into the gate.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others behind them saw this and no longer wanted to watch the show. They quickly entered the gate one by one, and as they passed by Lin Xiaowei, they didn't stop at all.
Lin Xiaowei watched eagerly as the vermilion gate in front of her slowly closed. She had been left outside.
For a long time, she didn't understand what was happening.
She had transmigrated from an apocalypse where zombies roamed and humans were less than dogs, only to encounter a group of people as heartless as zombies. How could she be so unlucky?
Lin Xiaowei slowly stood up and walked step by step to the stairs, sitting down.
Although she didn't know where she had transmigrated to, no matter where she had transmigrated, she should be the protagonist, right?
She had read many such novels before the apocalypse in her previous life.
Even if this was not a world of Xuanhuan cultivation, she should at least be a princess or empress, right?
She couldn't possibly have such great luck to transmigrate and end up as a cannon fodder, could she?
As Lin Xiaowei thought this, her expression improved a little.
Since she could transmigrate, then this world would one day be under her control.
Everything was just a matter of time.
Lin Xiaowei stood up, turned around, and looked at the tightly shut vermilion gate.
Thinking of the expressions of those people just now, her face turned fierce.
How dare they treat her like this? She would make them regret it.
Such people must be the villains who appear in every novel, right?
Thinking of this, a hint of a sneer appeared on Lin Xiaowei's lips. "Sooner or later, I will crush you under my feet. Wait for me."
After speaking, Lin Xiaowei turned around and left decisively.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others had already reached the main house and were listening to Luoluo live-stream their current situation.
And the content of the live broadcast was naturally Lin Xiaowei's every move just now.
After listening, Shen Xiaoyan didn't know what to say.
God, did she think her life had been too smooth in the past few years?
So, he sent her such a person to entertain her?
"Look at what you saved. Hmph."
Hearing Namu Zhong's contemptuous words, Shen Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh.
"Indeed, Yi Zhixie, your judgment is poor. How could you save such a person?" Shen Xiaoyan also said.
"Not to mention not even saying thank you from beginning to end, and now she's holding a grudge against us," Lu Taobao's tone was also very annoyed.
Yi Zhixie did not retort or tease this time but sighed, full of regret.
"I was being meddlesome."
"Don't think that this will make me forgive you," Namu Zhong said coldly.
Yi Zhixie looked up in surprise at Namu Zhong and said after a long pause, "Then, Muzhong, how can you forgive me?"
Namu Zhong crossed her arms, leaned back, and said, "First, tell me, how did you save her?"
Lu Taobao heard this and stood up. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Yi Zhixie probably regretted it so much that her intestines had turned green. Hearing that Lu Taobao was going to speak, she didn't stop her.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at her appearance and thought that if Yi Zhixie had known this would happen, she probably would have cut off her own hand rather than save the person.
Lu Taobao sat down solemnly, looked around at everyone in the room, and then recounted what had happened earlier.
It turned out that they had first gone to a nearby village.
After arriving, they first went to the village head's house. After discussing with the village head, they registered, as they did here, and distributed food and supplies.
Because there were many people, it was getting dark by the time everything was done.
