Lin Jianing saw that the group of men and women were all staring at Xiao Qingzhou with green eyes, like hungry wolves eyeing a piece of meat. Her heart tightened, and she stepped forward to shield Xiao Qingzhou, shouting harshly at them, "What do you think you're doing?"
Xiao Qingzhou saw that despite her frail appearance, she stood up to protect him so resolutely, and he felt warmth in his heart.
There were about thirty people in front of them, including the elderly, the young, and children, but mostly middle-aged men and women.
An elderly man around sixty stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Qingzhou and Lin Jianing, "Sorry! Just now we heard this young master saying that if we help you, there will be food, right?"
Xiao Qingzhou glanced at them dismissively and said directly, "Since there are so many of you hiding on the side, why did none of you step forward to help her when she was calling for help just now?"
