A thirty-jin bag of rice, if dropped from the rooftop, would likely break the packaging.
If it broke, the rice would fall on the ground, get dirty, and be wasted.
Therefore, someone needed to go down and place the rice at each household's door.
Chu Qianli had initially thought she would have to persuade Feng Dingchu extensively to get him to listen to her.
To her surprise, before she could even utter her lines, Feng Dingchu had already picked up the rice bag.
"One bag per household...?" Although a bag of rice wouldn't last long, did she have this much rice?
"Yes, one bag per household."
Chu Qianli watched him descend lightly, place the rice at the door of a farmer below, and then leap back up to her side. A smile finally appeared in her eyes.
"There aren't too many farmers here. Look, only a few dozen households. One bag each, less than a hundred yuan per bag. I have more than enough money."
With another flick of her wrist, another bag of rice landed on the rooftop.
Feng Dingchu quickly grabbed it and leaped down from the rooftop.
He finally found a bit of meaning in life. Although he didn't show much emotion on his face while doing this,
the fact that he was willing to do it was progress.
They went from one end of the village to the other, serving dozens of households, and finally finished distributing the rice before sunrise.
Soon, shouts of surprise and joy came from below: "Rice! Rice!"
"We have it too! We have rice! We have rice!"
"Heavens! We have it too!"
"We have it too!"
"It's them! It's them!"
"Immortals! Heroes! The two benefactors gave us rice!"
Some sharp-eyed villagers saw the two people sitting on the rooftop. They immediately rushed over and knelt in worship:
"Benefactors!"
"Our benefactors!"
Children, too, came along, their understanding still nascent. Seeing the two figures on the rooftop, they became excited.
"Such a beautiful sister!"
"This big brother looks so handsome."
"They are two immortals!"
"Immortal brother! Immortal sister!"
"Immortal brother! Immortal sister!"
Chu Qianli turned her head to look at Feng Dingchu, then remembered she hadn't put makeup on him today.
"Have you ever come to this place with your true face before?" she asked, belatedly realizing.
Feng Dingchu shook his head.
Chu Qianli felt relieved.
"Let's go." She took his hand and stood up.
Feng Dingchu was still somewhat reluctant to move, his indifferent eyes looking at her, full of resistance.
"They are just a group of children. Children are the purest beings in this world. They won't eat you, what are you afraid of?"
She forcibly pulled him, leaped up from the rooftop, and landed steadily in front of the children.
Before Feng Dingchu could react, he found a large pile of things stuffed into his arms.
"These are lollipops, share them with the children!"
With that, Chu Qianli shifted her feet and was already sitting on a nearby tree branch, watching him with a smile.
Feng Dingchu really didn't want to interact with anyone, not even children.
However, upon hearing that the bag in his arms was full of candy, the children immediately swarmed around him, looking at him with eager eyes.
"Immortal brother, I want candy!"
"Immortal brother, I want some too, I want some too!"
"Brother, I want some too!"
Feng Dingchu looked troubled. He truly didn't want to speak, move, or deal with anyone.
But the children's eyes were full of hope.
They usually couldn't even afford a single piece of candy.
"If you are truly heartless and don't want to give it to them, you can just throw it into the river."
Chu Qianli pointed to a small river nearby and smiled at him, her eyes narrowed: "Immortal brother, can you bear to do that?"
