As October approaches, the autumn breeze is blowing.

The long-lost autumn breeze gradually became cold and swept across the entire city of Kyoto.

In front of an alley on Changping Street, there is a liquor workshop, a young man with a slender face and a thick dress sits on a bench in front of a wooden table, spit out a few puffs of mist in his mouth, Xiao Er brought a bowl of hot wine, handed it to Xu Changshou's hand, he drank it violently, and complained from time to time that the alcohol was not high enough, and he went down before he warmed his body.

Today is the Winter Clothes Festival, so I wish to have a long routine monthly holiday.

It seems that since the overturning of the Azure Dart Bureau, he has rarely been in the Dart Game in recent days.

"October Dynasty, send winter clothes, snakes and insects in the world have nowhere to go!"

At that time, there were a few children in bulging clothes running beside him, holding sugar gourds and rattles in their hands, banging and singing Daxia folk nursery rhymes!

"Little Er, serve the wine!" Xu Changshou shouted.

After a while, Xiao Er of the wine workshop walked out.

"Guest officer, the shop is closed!"

Xu Changshou looked at him suspiciously: "You little second child is so strange, you don't do business anymore, isn't this time (one or two o'clock in the afternoon)."

Xiao Er pointed to the distance and said: "The guests don't know, near the Heavenly Festival, many dignitaries and nobles entered Beijing to meet the emperor, in order to avoid congestion along the way and delay the trip, the saint has placed patrol guards in the city, and regularly clean up the outdated business shops, this business is not something we don't want to do!" ”

Xiao Er sighed again and again after speaking.

Xu Changshou asked curiously: "Which big official has such a posture and actually needs to close the market?" ”

"It's all royal relatives! Alas, don't say anything, I have to hurry up and close the stall, otherwise the guards will see it, and they won't be able to explain it. As soon as Xiao Er finished explaining, he was in a hurry to close the stall.

Xu Changshou immediately got up, put down a few copper plates, and left.

In the October Dynasty, the Winter Clothes Festival is not only a day for thousands of families to routinely worship their ancestors, but also a good day for the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to announce the world and routinely sacrifice to the heavens.

Recently, there have been a lot of dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto City, Xu Changshou can vaguely feel it, and even Si Niang has been busy recently, resulting in this one-dollar heavenly master not receiving the reward.

Changping Street, gambling house.

Xu Changshou passed by a gambling house and was instantly attracted by the crowded crowd.

Villagers, fathers and elders, gathered under the steps in front of the gambling house.

In the middle of the crowd was a little beggar in rags.

I saw that several family members were beating him mercilessly with sticks, and the little beggar curled up, hugged him in a ball, and lay on the ground, allowing him to be whipped.

"Stinky boy, don't look at who you are, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head!" The housekeeper scolded angrily, and then lashed at the little beggar.

"I didn't!" I saw the little beggar say something dying.

"There is a bastard thing that has a father and no mother, you still dare to quibble, you should be beaten!"

"I didn't steal!"

Xu Changshou stood aside, feeling that something was inexplicably wrong.

Then he stepped forward and asked the man who was wielding a stick.

"What did he do! I want you to do such a cruel thing. ”

After hearing this, the family stopped swinging and turned to look at the young man with a high spirit.

"Who are you, don't be nosy, or I'll beat you together!"

The family said angrily.

Xu Changshou grinned, "I'll be nosy today!" ”

"If you beat people for no reason, aren't you afraid of the government?"

Xu Changshou looked at the two family members and put on an unyielding look.

"What kind of thing is the government, if you have to meddle in your affairs, you will be beaten together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two family members couldn't help but beat the little beggar curled up on the ground.

Xu Changshou stepped forward and snatched the stick from the hand.

"If you beat someone for no reason, aren't you afraid that the government will arrest you?" Xu Changshou said angrily, and the little beggar on the ground suddenly trembled.

"Boy, don't ask who we are, nosy, don't you want to suffer."

"My son-in-law is the son of Lord Chengliang in Taichung, and you don't pee and take pictures, and you dare to be an enemy of my son-in-law."

"What is the wrong thing this beggar has done to make you whip him so cruelly?"

"Making a mistake? He stole the silver taels from my gambling house, so naturally he wants to fight, what are you! Jia Ding raised his chin proudly.

"I didn't!" The little beggar retorted.

"Bastard things, dare to deny it, beg for a beating!" When the stick was about to fall on the little beggar, Xu Changshou snatched it away.

"Muddy ball, do you really want to mix this muddy water?" A housekeeper rolled up his sleeves and wanted to swing his fist at Xu Changshou.

Xu Changshou dodged in an instant and gave him a kick from behind, and the family fell to the ground, pouting and screaming, and the crowd around him laughed for a moment.

Suddenly, another family member took advantage of Xu Changshou's lack of attention and stabbed him with a dagger.

With a snort, Xu Changshou dodged sideways, the dagger pierced his clothes, and left a not deep or shallow cut on his waist, Xu Changshou instantly felt that his skin was painful.

Then he kicked and kicked the family out of Zhangyu, and the family fell to the ground, clutching his chest in unbearable pain.

"Let's go!"

For a moment, Xu Changshou endured the pain and helped the little beggar on the ground up, and the two limped into the crowd.

Yongle County, in a leading alley.

Xu Changshou pulled the little beggar to run in the crowd, passed by a stone archway, passed through the archway door, and came to an alley, which was much safer and the crowd was sparse, Xu Changshou covered the bleeding mouth on his waist and leaned on a straw pile at the entrance of the alley.

"How are you? It's all my fault, it shouldn't have bothered you! The little beggar whimpered.

Xu Changshou endured the pain, tore off a strip of cloth from his trouser leg, then gritted his teeth and tied it to the wound around his waist, tied the knot and strangled it hard, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What the hell, it's so deep!" After a moment of relief, he looked at the little beggar in the corner who blamed himself.

"Hey, kid, what's your name!" Xu Changshou shouted hard.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

"You're not talking nonsense, do you think I'm fine?" Xu Changshou sighed twice.

"My surname is Ruan, my name is Xiao Pei, just call me Ruan Xiao Pei, big brother, what about you?"

"Xu Changshou!" Xu Changshou leaned against the cold wall of the alley, and he moved to the corner stuffed with straw.

"You stole something?" Xu Changshou asked.

"No, they framed me! My mother said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and he can't take anything that is not his own. ”

"Then why did they beat you?" Xu Changshou then added.

"My mother is sick, this morning I went to the shop in the city to catch medicine for my mother, but I didn't keep the half-hung money in my pocket, because I was busy grabbing medicine for my mother, but I fell, and the copper plate was scattered at the door of the gambling house, and I happened to be seen by the housekeeper, so I stole it."

Ruan Xiaopei whimpered intermittently. There is sympathy in the innocent eyes.

"Okay, where is your home, I'll send you there!" Xu Changshou decided to be a security guard again, after all, he was not worried about whether Ruan Xiaopei would meet that group of people again on the way back.

"I don't have a home, my mother and I both live in a ruined temple in the east of the city."

"Okay! Then let's go to the broken temple, you lead the way! Xu Changshou leaned against the wall and stood up with difficulty, Ruan Xiaopei wanted to step forward to help him, but he refused.

"It's just a small injury, no need to help!" Ruan Xiaopei sighed, but still looked back at Xu Changshou from time to time.

After walking for about half an hour, Xu Changshou glanced at the wound on his waist, but there was no infection, otherwise the ICU would not be able to save him at this time.

At the east end of the city, in front of a dilapidated and dilapidated temple, Ruan Xiaopei shouted into the house: "A-Niang, I'm back!" ”

Xu Changshou entered the ruined temple under the leadership of Ruan Xiaopei.

Everything in front of him completely shattered his three views...... An old man with a broken foot, an aunt with a broken arm, a one-eyed woman who was blind in one eye, and two twin children with yellow faces and thin muscles in her arms.

At the bottom of the crowd, on a makeshift bed compacted with straw, lay a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties, the only one who could be considered able-bodied, with her hair disheveled, a yellowed wet towel on her forehead and a horn missing.

"Xiao Pei is back? Can you catch the medicine for your mother? A lame old man on crutches walked out of his face, and squinted his eyes to see Xu Changshou standing in front of the door.

"This boy with a ruddy face, I don't know if it's ......," the old man wondered.

"Lame grandpa, his name is Xu Changshou, I just met." Ruan Xiaopei replied happily.

"It's so good, we Xiao Pei also have friends!" The cripple smiled happily, but kept coughing.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Xu Changshou looked at the middle-aged woman lying dying in the straw pile not far away.

"My mother has been sick for many days! In the past few days, all the money I asked for on the street was given to my mother, but it didn't work, and the doctor also saw it and shook his head! Ruan Xiaopei spoke intermittently and kept choking.

"Let me show my aunt!" Xu Changshou decided to recommend himself and give it a try, what if there is a way?

"Brother Xu, it's your injury!" Ruan Xiaopei pointed to the wound on Xu Changshou's waist.

"Don't talk about it! The pain of skin and flesh, not to mention that I am a man, I can't bear this bitterness, how can I stand up to the sky, didn't your mother say that boys should stand up to the sky? Ruan Xiaopei was silent for a moment.

Xu Changshou walked through the crowd, came to Aunt Ruan, held her hand, and then took the pulse.

Speaking of the pulse, in his previous life, Xu Changshou only occasionally followed his old friends to learn a little bit when he was young, and the price was to miss a day of work, and accompanied the old gentleman downstairs to play chess in the park for an afternoon, in fact, the only benefit of security work is leisure, Xu Changshou misses his past self a little.

"The blood flow is not abnormal, and the number of pulses is within the normal range." Xu Changshou immediately looked at the sleeping middle-aged woman.

"The mouth is dry and the skin is pale!"

Then he touched the patient's forehead again, and his hands were hot!

"It looks like it's just a viral flu that's more serious than a common fever!"

Fortunately, it is only a common disease, and if it is a terminal illness, there is really nothing I can do.

As for why those doctors shook their heads, Xu Changshou just smiled, it was all broken silver and a few taels of silver!

Can't get the money to cure the sick and save people? Those quacks categorically don't do a loss-making business, it's just a bad habit in the medical world.

"Don't worry, it's just a viral flu, fever!" Everyone on the side looked at Xu Changshou suspiciously.

"Brother Xu, what is viral flu?" Ruan Xiaopei immediately touched on his own knowledge misunderstanding.

"Uh...... You can understand it as a whole bunch of toxic stuff running into your body and causing you to get sick! ”

After listening to Xu Changshou's explanation, Ruan Xiaopei sighed twice.

"Is there a coptis? Coptis chinensis for fever! ”

Hearing Xu Changshou say this, Ruan Xiaopei nodded.

"There's not much left in the house."

"It's okay, it's just that boiling the decoction should be enough, and besides, help me find a bowl of warm wine."

"Wine?" Ruan Xiaopei pecked at the brain in confusion.

Xu Changshou first wiped the woman with warm water, and then evenly applied warm wine to the woman's forehead, neck and shoulder blades.

"Wine can reduce fever to a certain extent, commonly known as physical cooling."

The more and more people here are not understanding, but it doesn't matter, it is normal for you ancient people to not know the scope of knowledge that can only be accessed after nine years of compulsory education.

After a while, Xu Changshou slumped on the ground, "It's really tiring to take care of people!" ”

Ruan Xiaopei brought a bowl of hot water, Xu Changshou took the hot water, and was about to pour it down after blowing the hot air at will, almost burning himself to death......

Soon, Aunt Ruan's high fever subsided.

"My mother is awake!" The people in the room cheered.

"It's good to wake up, it's not too early, I should go."

Aunt Ruan had just woken up and her body was extremely weak, but she still tried her best to open her hoarse voice and let her child Ruan Xiaopei send Xu Changshou.

"Xiao Pei, go and send off your benefactor, you will be sick in the coming year, you must remember the kindness of your father, and go to see others." Aunt Ruan coughed and told Ruan Xiaopei, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Ruan Xiaopei came to Xu Changshou and said goodbye to him.

Before leaving, Xu Changshou took off his heavy robe and handed it to Ruan Xiaopei.

"Xiao Pei, it's cold, don't wear so thin, and take care of your mother, those people in the city are quite unreasonable, don't provoke them, otherwise it will be bad for everyone."

Bidding farewell to Ruan Xiaopei, Xu Changshou walked towards Yongle County.

"Brother Xu, can I still see you?"

"People who are destined will meet each other!"

The two walked with their backs to each other amid shouts.

At this time, the sun sets in the west and the moon is slightly dewed......
