Chapter 39: The Beggar

Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan really didn't find anything useful.

However, Xue Yuan's expression was as usual, and the expression on Zheng Nan's face was a little unconcealable.

"Don't be in a hurry." Xue Yuan said to Zheng Nan, "The reason we came here is not to find the fault of the Sheng family. We just need to finish what the prince has told us. ”

Although they came to Munan City first, they still had to go to Muzhou City after solving the matter here.

Liu Mingxu and Liu Zhizhou have always been at odds with the regent, and whether something unfavorable to the master will happen is what they have to worry about. The matter in front of him, although the silver taels involved were very large, it was not enough for Xue Yuan to care very much.

The Sheng family burned it clean, but it was not unattended on this large piece. There is no force to take over here, this place is naturally still in ruins, after so many months, some places have long since lost the luxury and luxury of the pavilions and pavilions of the past, Xue Jingyan looked at a few places where there were figures shaking.

It was a rockery, although it had burned so much that it was impossible to see the original flowers and plants on it.

"There, what's it?"

Xue Yuan glanced there and said, "It's a wandering beggar." We saw them hiding there when we went there before. There was no curiosity about our arrival, as if they had been here several times before, but no one had chased them. ”

Zheng Nan continued: "I heard that there are still people who dug up several urns of silver under the ruins of the Sheng family and made a fortune, so there are more and more people who come here to hunt for treasures. ”

"It's all burned, what else can I find? No one knows if the rumors are true or not, but it is true that a large number of homeless people have been given shade. The heavy rain of those days, it has also endured here. The rockery was empty, but those people were smart enough to build a shed and contain a lot of people. Xue Yuan also looked over there.

It's just that something seems to be going on over there.

A couple of ten-year-old children argued with a middle-aged sloppy man, and even if they couldn't hear what they were saying, the scene gave people a sense of confrontation.

Xue Jingyan took Zhu Yan and jumped over there, dropping a sentence: "Let's go there and have a look." ”

Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan glanced at each other and followed.

When I got closer, I saw that the one who was clearly the leader of the children had a resolute expression on his face, staring at the ragged man opposite him with hatred.

"Get out of what you stole from! That's what our little seven used to heal the sick! ”

The sloppy man shook the thing in his hand, moved his hands, and moved his feet back a few steps, but was startled by the children in front of him, who were obviously younger than him.

Behind the lead children were four children with rocks and sticks, with obvious anger on their faces. They were also unclothed, visibly malnourished, thin in stature, and sallow-faced.

Looking behind a few people, you can see a little girl about seven or eight years old lying on a dilapidated straw mat under the rockery, and a slightly older girl is taking care of her on the side. But I can't really talk about taking care of it, because there is really nothing to eat.

The little girl should be the little seven that the children say, and she should be sick. Zhu Yan looked at this scene, and some memories came to her mind, and seeing that Xue Jingyan was still looking at these children without speaking, she pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Master, you can help them."

"Xiao Yan, you have to remember that there will be such people everywhere, and you can't help them." Although Xue Jingyan said this, he still gestured to the two people who had already followed.

Zheng Nan also obviously received the signal, but he didn't move as fast as Xue Yuan, stepped forward, and immediately snatched the thing in the sloppy man's hand, which was a black mass that he couldn't tell what it was.

Zheng Nan looked at the things in Xue Yuan's hand, and couldn't help but be glad that he didn't rush to go.

The leading child boss moved his gaze to Xue Jingyan and the others, who had been staring at the sloppy man tightly before. Seeing that these people obviously had a different temperament, he shrank a little, but he still took a step forward for the sake of what Xue Yuan had in his hand.

"This master, can you give us what you have in your hand?" He did his best to smile on his dark face.

Zhu Yan walked to Xue Yuan's side first, took the black thing, and looked at it carefully.

The child's expression changed.

Zhu Yan took the thing, looked at it for a while, and made sure that he didn't know what it was, so he returned to Xue Jingyan and showed him: "Master, what do you say this is?" Listening to them say that they can cure diseases. ”

Xue Jingyan took the thing, put it under his nose and sniffed it and said, "This does smell of medicine, so I don't know what it is." He stepped past the nervous child boss and walked to Xiao Qi's side. The little girl on Xiao Qi's side watched him move uneasily.

Xue Jingyan squatted down and checked Xiao Qi's pulse, he didn't know how to heal, but he felt it from the pulse rate, and found that her heartbeat was slow, her lips were bruised, and her breathing was a little difficult. He couldn't figure it out, so he looked up and asked, "What disease did she suffer from at this time?" ”

The boss came to his senses at this time, the person in front of him was not only dressed well, but also had a good heart, and he was ready to save Xiao Qi, so he hurriedly walked over and said with a little sadness: "We don't have the money to see a doctor, so we don't know what illness Xiao Qi has." But, that kind of thing was dug up from under the Sheng family's previous pharmacy, we had no choice, we were going to give it to Xiao Qi to eat, but we didn't notice it and was snatched away by him. He pointed to the sloppy man who had been running away slowly.

Xue Yuan knew that the young master didn't know how to heal, and with his identity, it was really not suitable for him to have more contact with those stray children. He had seen these people before, but he didn't care, so he didn't mention it to Xue Jingyan, but at this time, Xue Jingyan wanted to help, so he could only take over.

He walked over, took a look at Xiao Qi's situation, took out the medicine in a small porcelain bottle in the package, fed her one, and fed her some water.

"It's okay, she's just hungry for the past few days, and she can't slow down for a while. As long as you eat a little better these days, you will soon be able to recover. ”

The boss smiled bitterly, wanting to say that it was impossible for him to buy Xiao Qi something to eat here. Regarding the indifference of the rich man in the upper position, he had already been in contact with a lot, but at this moment, for the sake of Xiao Qi, he still decided to ask the person in front of him again.

"Can you please help Xiao Qi." His tone was pleading.

He didn't say anything about helping this group of people, but only asked to help Xiao Qi, because Xiao Qi was still young, and some of them couldn't stand it. When he picked up these children, he said that he would not leave anyone behind, and he had been trying to do it, but it rained one after another, and fewer people came out, and several of them had not found food for a long time. I had no choice but to dig for the soil, but I didn't expect to dig up a mass that was obviously not dirt.

When the layout of the Sheng family was still very prosperous, they were naturally unable to enter these wandering little beggars. But since the Sheng family caught fire, it happened that the small temple where their group lived was occupied by others and had nowhere to go, so they had the courage to find a place to live in the Sheng family, but they didn't expect that no one would come to drive them after living for a long time, so they continued to live with confidence.

A lot of people have been here, especially after the rumors of digging up the silver have spread. Among them, there are also those who have come to the Sheng family and know the parts of various houses. The children are small, and it is not easy to hide in one place, but they understand the layout of the Sheng family.

But these are useless, he has never found the silver, otherwise he would have sent Xiao Qi to the doctor a long time ago. He didn't know who the lucky one was, but it was clearly lucky that it didn't go to them.

Those who come to hunt for treasures are naturally very stingy, and those who are praised by the Wang family, the Li family, and the Mu family will not pay attention to these little people.
