After finishing all the things that should be busy, Yu Qiuping finally slept steadily. Early the next morning, Charlie still went to shoot arrows in the mountain behind Sunpu Castle as if nothing had happened. Yu Qiuping started to settle accounts again, ready to repay his debts. Half a day of busy survival, the harvest is good. I have earned 82 Wen. He plans to take two more orders in the afternoon.

At lunchtime, Charlie still came back on time. Just as the two of them were sitting in the shop and preparing to eat, they heard a knock on the door outside the shop.

Yu Qiuping and Charlie got up to open the door, and standing at the door was a young beggar, but he was more than 1.6 meters tall. In Japan, it's already considered high. The little beggar was tall, but he was emaciated. His left foot was wrapped in half a straw sandal, and his right foot was a cloth shoe that had been picked up from nowhere and had a large slit at the tip. Although the clothes on his body were torn and holed, they were not dirty. I could see that the owner was serious about washing it. There is a bun tied at the back of his head, somewhat similar to a samurai bun, but not exactly. The most striking thing is that his right eye is covered by a white cloth tied behind his head, and some pus can be seen on the edge of the white cloth, and there is some redness on his cheek under his right eye.

His name is Kinbei, and he has been wandering for ten years.

He was the son of a samurai family in Mino, and his parents died when he was four years old. Since he was a child, he was not treated well by his uncles and uncles at home. While the other children were enjoying themselves, he had already started to help with the housework. From an early age, he learned to read words and emotions and live cautiously.

However, there are good and bad things in people. At the age of six, he developed an eye disease. Originally, it was just a very mild inflammation, but no one in the family cared about this child, and finally, the inflammation became more and more serious, and the eyes began to ulcerate and pus. The eldest son, who thought he was disgusting, beat him and slandered him for doing it first. As a result, the guards were kicked out of the house. Wandering began from then on.

He once caught birds' eggs in the mountains, ate grass roots, and wandered all the way down Mino to Suruga to beg. He said it was begging, but he never knelt down and prayed for mercy. Rather, it is asking someone for a job. However, all of them were disgusted with the frightening right eye of the pro-soldier, and all of them waved their hands to snatch him away, and even punched and kicked him.

It's been ten years, and although he doesn't look down, he has never let himself be sloppy. Because in his vague memory, his father had asked him to keep himself tidy no matter what.

So, he often went to the river to bathe. Even if the pants that I finally picked up were washed away by the water, I still maintained this habit.

He had no money for treatment, and his eye ailments were getting worse and worse. Now, he can barely do heavy lifting. After a few steps, you will be too tired to catch your prey. I had to pray for work in Junfu Castle and pick up other people's leftovers to eat.

Today, he found a new store and decided to try his luck. However, I didn't expect much.

The guard bowed and asked weakly, "Excuse me, two adults." Although his tone was humble but he tried to maintain his dignity, it was particularly distressing, "The villain wants to ask, is there any work that the villain can do?" ”

"This..."Yu Qiuping and Charlie looked at each other with some confusion.

"Don't worry, the two adults, the villain is just a beggar, but he doesn't want to beg," the guard explained, "and the villain wants to exchange his labor for something to eat." I don't know the two of you..."

"No problem," Yu Qiuping immediately agreed, leading him into the house, "You can have some dinner with us first." As he spoke, he evened out a little millet porridge from his bowl and gave it to him.

"This..."The pro-soldier was a little embarrassed, "The villain thanks the adults for their kindness... It's just that the villain hasn't worked yet, and can't eat. ”

Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that it was familiar.

Ah, isn't that the one who just came here? Even though he is desperate, he still wants to retain his dignity as a human being. A sensitive place in his heart was suddenly touched, and he suddenly wanted to help this young man, and perhaps, his life would be completely different. Just like Asahina Taehyung at that time, he helped himself.

"If you don't eat enough, how can you work, you can help me deliver the accounts later," Yu Qiuping teased, "Eat quickly, the rice is going to be cold." ”

The guards were stunned, glanced at Yu Qiuping, and then at the bowl of millet porridge. Suddenly his left eye moistened.

"My lord is such a good man," he swallowed carefully, "I can't tell you the truth, I haven't eaten for three days." When the people around me saw that my eyes were broken, they refused to let me stand at the door, and they must drive the villain away, thinking that I would bring bad luck. ”

"I don't believe that," Yu Qiuping explained with a smile, "Then again, what's wrong with your eyes." ”

"The villain doesn't know." He replied honestly, "The villain's eyes suddenly broke when he was a child, and he has been in great pain since then. My parents died young, and my uncle and uncle thought that my eyes were too terrible and would bring bad luck, so they kicked the villain out. ”

"The villain has been wandering for almost ten years. I wandered from Mino to Suruga. As he spoke, tears began to roll in his eyes, "In the past, well-wishers gave the villain leftovers at most, and the adult was still the first, and the person who promised to work for the villain did not dislike the villain's eyes." ”

"Don't worry, you won't dislike it." Yu Qiuping comforted gently.

"I take the liberty of asking, can I look at your eyes," Yu Qiuping asked, "Could it be that he has some kind of disease?" ”

"The villain is afraid of scaring the adult, so forget it." The pro-soldier replied honestly.

"I'm not afraid, you can show me quickly, it's a disease to be cured." Yu Qiuping anxiously urged. Charlie on the side also nodded.

The pro-guard hesitated for a moment and untied his white cloth. I saw that my entire eye, even the eyelids, was severely ulcerated, and it was almost rotten. It has a pungent smell.

"Can you still see things?" Yu Qiuping asked in a solemn whisper.

"It's been out of sight for a long time." The pro-soldier guard replied while carefully observing Yu Qiuping's movements.

"Don't worry, I don't think you're scary, and I won't drive you away." Yu Qiuping's unintentional relief made the young man burst into tears.

"Okay, don't cry," Yu Qiuping patted him on the shoulder, "Listen to me now, your illness is very serious, and it's your life that you haven't died for so long." I'll take you to the doctor right now. ”

"Your Excellency?" The pro-soldier was taken aback, "But I don't have any money." ”

"I'll help you cushion it first," Yu Qiuping took the family's only remaining savings of about 100 yuan, "Pay me back later, treatment is the most important thing." ”

"Your Excellency... My lord..."The pro-soldier sobbed softly, suddenly pushed away the stool, knelt down, and kowtowed to Yu Qiuping twice.

"This is the first time the villain has kowtowed, the etiquette is not careful, don't be surprised by the adults," he forced himself to cry, but the whimper still ran out as soon as he opened his mouth, "The adults are very gracious, and the villain is unforgettable." It's just that the villain really looks down on the doctor..."

"Don't say it, let's go," Yu Qiuping wanted to help up the guard, but the guard insisted on refusing to get up, so he had to ask, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain... It used to be a samurai family, but it's been removed, so it's good for adults to call me a pro-soldier. ”

"Okay, Qin Bingwei, my name is Yu Qiuping, you listen to me now," Yu Qiuping said anxiously, "Your eye disease is likely to threaten the brain, and then it will be a dead end." To be honest, I think something will happen if this disease is delayed for a day or two, and I don't know why you've been fine for ten years. But, you know, this disease could kill you at any moment, so I'm going to take you to the doctor now, immediately! ”

After saying that, Yu Qiuping glanced at Charlie, and the two of them helped the guards up from left to right, and walked quickly towards the medical hall in the city. However, Lang Zhong in the medical hall looked embarrassed when he saw the glasses of the pro-soldier.

"The villain is incompetent, which makes the adults laugh." Lang Zhong sighed, "The whole eye is broken, I'm afraid I have to cut off the eye." It's just that the villain is afraid that he doesn't have this ability. ”

"Does it matter?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"If it weren't for seeing this little brother live for so long, I would have thought that this illness would not last more than a month," Lang Zhong said solemnly, "It's better not to delay." ”

"So where can I cut out his eye?" Yu Qiuping asked again.

"I think the best doctor in Suruga is Dr. Tsushima from the castle town in the north," he said, "and if Dr. Tsushima can't do anything, I guess no one can do it." ”

"Then let's go, thank you," Yu Qiuping turned around and was about to leave, but Lang Zhong hurriedly added, "But your lords had better bring your feet and coil up!" "That Dr. Tsushima has a quirk and charges a lot of money. ”

"Thank you."

As soon as Yu Qiuping and his party walked out of the medical hall, the guards grabbed Yu Qiuping and Charlie.

"The kindness of the two adults, the villain understands it," he said with some difficulty, "The villain has picked up ten years of life, and he is already very content, and he doesn't dare to spend so much money on Lord Yuqiu..."

"No, it's not a matter of money," Yu Qiuping roared angrily, "It's your life!" No amount of money can buy a life! Now that you are born, you have to live well! ”

The Adam's apple of the guard squirmed, and even the rotten right eye turned slightly.

Want... Live well.

He looked at the hand that was holding him forward, tears pouring out of his eyes.

This world, so cruel, and so beautiful. The eyes of the guard, which had been crippled, had not seen the light of day for ten years. At this moment, it is scorching, as if there are sparks jumping. It was an indescribable emotion.
