Chapter 27: Robbery
After a few days of rest, the group continued to hit the road.
The further back we go, the more dilapidated and scattered the houses are, all of which are mud houses, which are obviously different from the bustling towns, and the more barren and backward they become. There are also a lot fewer people on the streets, and even when there is a rush to eat.
"Okay, okay, give us something to eat."
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry......"
"Good Samaritans passing by, enjoy the stuttering."
“……”
Passing through a small town, you can see some poorly clothed, skinny beggars squatting in the corners of the wall begging, and many doors in the whole town are closed, and there is not much popularity.
The carriage came slowly, and immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially the beggars, whose eyes seemed to glow when they landed on the carriage.
"What's going on? How does it look lifeless here? ”
Song Qingyou lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the situation outside, but after a moment, he withdrew his hand and frowned.
Although Xiao Qishu's body was treated by Song Qingyou, when the sepsis in the body did not recover so quickly, he still looked pale and very weak at this time.
Hearing Song Qingyou's murmur, Xiao Qishu only said lightly.
"When things go wrong, there must be demons, just be careful."
"Hmm."
The two quieted down, and the carriage quickly stopped at the door of the inn.
Song Qingyou helped Xiao Qishu into the post station, and after the officials immediately found a place to sit down, Xiao Er also immediately stepped forward and began to greet him.
"I'll go outside later to see if there is a pharmacy and buy some medicine and come back."
Song Qingyou said a word to Xiao Qishu, and Xiao Qishu nodded and agreed.
The people in the big house wanted to talk to Song Qingyou before, but after being fooled by Song Qingyou, they now look at her with a little more jealousy.
After all, the Xiao family has now become exiles, but there are still people behind Song Qingyou to take care of them, if they offend people ruthlessly, maybe the people behind her will take action against them.
Just as they were thinking about it, there was a noisy sound outside the door, and everyone followed the sound and saw a group of beggars in ragged clothes squeezing into the inn.
"Get out, this is not the place for you to come, get out of here!"
Xiao Er had seen such a scene, and immediately calmly stepped forward to drive away, but this time there were more beggars than usual, and Xiao Er couldn't drive people out at all.
The officials stood up one after another, glared at the group of beggars vigilantly, and the bearded man directly called the post steward and asked him to quickly find a way to deal with it, so as not to disturb their rest.
However, before the steward could send those beggars, a commotion broke out in the group of beggars, and then all the beggars rushed in and rushed directly towards Song Qingyou and them.
"Eat, give me food!"
"Rob, I'm going to die anyway, even if I die, I'm going to be a full ghost!"
Some of the beggars were shouting loudly, and when they rushed in, their eyes lit up when they saw the food, and even if it was something on the table of the officials, they were not afraid to rush up and grab it.
The bearded man immediately drew his sword and threatened, and the other officials did the same, which slightly forced those beggars back, but Song Qingyou's side was not so lucky.
In the chaos, the dry cake in Xiao Ningning's hand was favored by the beggar, and he reached out to grab it, Xiao Ningning immediately protected the dry cake in his arms, and hurriedly shouted in a hurry.
"You go and rob Song Qingyou, she has delicious food there, she still has a lot of money, don't rob me if you rob her!"
Following the direction of Xiao Ningning's finger, the beggars surrounding her immediately noticed Song Qingyou, and when they saw the steamed bun pastry in her hand, they immediately changed their direction and pounced towards Song Qingyou.
Song Qingyou's face changed, and he was already scolding in his heart.
Damn it! It seems that the lesson given to Xiao Ningning before was not enough, and he actually caused trouble to himself at this time!
Thinking in his heart, Song Qingyou's mind also began to spin rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
"Be careful!"
There was a low cry in his ears, Song Qing came back to his senses suddenly, and he felt that his body was pulled and instinctively pushed back a few steps.
As soon as she stood still, Xiao Qishu's figure was already standing in front of her, directly attacking the beggar who rushed over.
Although Xiao Qishu used to be a brave person, but now he is tired of physical illness and leg injury, and he will inevitably be shackled when facing these beggars, and his body is a little unbearable after a few shots, and his already bloodless face is even paler.
The beggars grabbed their eyes, and saw that Xiao Qishu was difficult to deal with, so they directly picked up the bench on the ground and slapped it towards Song Qingyou, who was protected by him, seeing that the bench was about to fall on Song Qingyou, Xiao Qishu was shocked, and immediately turned around and blocked the beggar's blow with his back, and then endured the pain and raised his leg to kick the beggar out directly.
No one thought that a person who looked sick would be so brave, and for a while the beggars' movements became hesitant, and at the same time, the officials also moved the real fire, and directly pulled out their knives and cut a few people, which suppressed the riot.
After all, the beggars were still afraid of death, and they fled one after another, and a farce was quelled.
After making sure that it was safe, Xiao Qishu shook his body as if he had unloaded all his strength, and fell down first.
Song Qingyou hurriedly supported him and pulled over the bench on the ground for him to sit down.
"Let me see your injuries."
Song Qingyou was a little anxious, thinking that under the critical situation just now, Xiao Qishu actually protected her behind her regardless of her own safety, and finally hit a bench alive, her heart couldn't help but get anxious, for fear that something would happen to Xiao Qishu.
"Are you stupid? Even though my body is still very weak, I still have to protect me...... Those people just want to grab some food, and give them ......"
Although Song Qingyou complained, he couldn't help but feel a strong emotion in his heart.
Although this person didn't say much along the way, he had been standing on his side to protect himself, and now he was protecting her regardless of his own safety, which made Song Qingyou's heart inevitably ripple.
After settling down, Song Qingyou carefully checked Xiao Qishu's body and found that he was not seriously injured, so he pretended to take it out of his arms, took out the medicine that had just been exchanged from the space to invigorate blood and dissolve stasis, and fed it to Xiao Qishu to eat.
"The people at your inn are so useless that even beggars dare to break in?"
As soon as he put down the water bowl, Song Qingyou heard the bearded man's voice angrily scolding the post station steward, so he paid more attention to the situation over there.
According to the steward, the beggars here are all refugees from other places, they all gather and live in the slums on the outskirts of the town, and they will come to the street every day to beg, sometimes they will directly grab things if they can't get food, maybe they don't want to be polluted with bad luck, and many of the shops on the street have closed down recently, thinking about waiting for these beggars to leave.
Who would have thought that these beggars would be so bold that they didn't even pay attention to official errands?
The bearded man scolded several times, but there was no beggar to vent his anger on him, so he could only suppress the fire in his heart and let the steward arrange for everyone to stay.
Song Qingyou thought that he was going to leave soon, and he didn't take this matter to heart, but something happened at night.
