Chapter 83 Saved a Fool

The Shen family's children picked up a person.

Yes, it's still a living, breathing person.

Its eyes can move, and it makes little noises.

Shen Qingjun was the first to notice. After he took his younger brothers to watch the autumn harvest outside the village, he saw the farm children carrying small baskets and searching for something on the ground.

Then, as I passed by the desolate mound behind the village, I saw a person lying on the ground.

Dressed entirely in black, he didn't look like a refugee begging for survival.

After struggling to turn it over, I saw that the face looked quite young.

Shen Qingming carefully kicked the man with his foot. The man groaned, opened his eyes, saw that it was a group of children, and then closed his eyes again.

The three Shen brothers didn't want to watch how the farm children were harvesting autumn crops, so they found two servants to move the guy to the woodshed on the farm.

The man was strange; he could move, but he wouldn't walk on his own, waiting for the servant to carry him into the woodshed.

Shen Qingjun was kind-hearted and thought that this was, after all, a human life.

To do good for his father who was hiding in the north, Shen Qingjun decided to help him as much as he could.

After being given a bowl of hot soup, the man finally stopped whining.

"Is there... anything to eat? Anything edible will do," the man in black said softly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingjun realized that it was from hunger!

"Yes, wait here, Rui-ge'er, go to the kitchen and get two steamed buns, and also bring two pieces of pickled vegetables." Shen Qingjun ordered his youngest son, Shen Qingrui.

Shen Qingrui hurriedly went to the kitchen to find steamed buns.

As a result, steamed buns were brought over, as were pickled vegetables, and Dongmai, who was busy in the kitchen, was also brought over.

Dongmai was originally in charge of preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Before dinner was even ready, Shen Qingrui slipped into the kitchen.

"My older brother asked me to get two steamed buns."

"Dinner is coming up soon, what kind of steamed buns do you want?" Dongmai asked.

"It's not for us to eat, it's for others to eat. Some people are starving to death." Shen Qingrui said honestly.

Upon hearing this, Dongmai exclaimed, "Is that so? I must go and see!"

If she were a good person, she would definitely make sure that person was well-fed and watered, and then casually tell him that the children who saved his life were born to her young mistress.

If you set up a longevity tablet when you get back, be sure to remember the young lady's name.

If it's a bad person, forget about steamed buns...

Whether to hand him over to the authorities or throw him out, that's up to Miss.

Then Dongmai, carrying a fire poker, followed Shen Qingrui to the woodshed.

Therefore, when Shen Qingjun saw the winter wheat, he was completely speechless.

It was a trivial matter, why did you have to bother Aunt Dong?

If Aunt Dong finds out, it's the same as Mother finding out.

“Aunt Dong…” Shen Qingjun didn’t know what to say.

Dongmai waved his hand and glanced at the man in black lying on the ground.

He looked to be in his early twenties, and quite good-looking, though not quite as handsome as the Duke when he was young.

However... this all-black outfit.

Are these the night walkers described in storybooks?

"Let's tie them up first!" Dongmai suddenly said.

The three Shen brothers...

The man in black, who had already opened his eyes, was also sizing up Dongmai...

“It’s the same whether I’m tied up or not, I can’t move anyway,” the man in black said with a wry smile.

Dongmai was a little skeptical.

For the sake of the masters and servants in the house, Dongmai found some hemp rope and tied the man in black up tightly.

Resigned to his fate, the man in black, bound like a piglet awaiting slaughter, spoke again.

"Now can I have something to eat?"

The three Shen brothers dared not agree, but only looked at Dongmai.

The more Dongmai looked at the man, the more she felt that he was no ordinary person.

No, she had to tell her mistress about this.

Miss is knowledgeable and well-read; she'll surely know this person's background.

So, Shangguan Jin, who had just settled Madam Shen, was pulled over by Dongmai again.

They also dragged the Shen Qingyue sisters along.

Shangguan Jin was startled when she saw the man in black in front of her.

The public security in Chongqing is relatively good, so it's quite unpredictable that such a person would suddenly appear.

"Madam, may I have something to eat?"

"If I don't eat soon, I'm going to faint again," the man in black said weakly.

Shangguan Jin...

How much evil could a man who is about to starve to death, who is not missing any limbs, possibly do?

"you......"

Shangguan Jin wanted to ask a couple more questions, but the man slumped his head down again in front of everyone.

Shangguan Jin then realized that this kid might be suffering from common hypoglycemia in the future!

"Sister Yao, go to the kitchen and make some sugar water."

"It's that packet of brown sugar that Mother told Aunt Dong to always carry. Make a strong bowl of it." Shangguan Jin quickly instructed.

Soon, Shen Qingyue brought over a large bowl of brown sugar water.

Two servants helped the man in black and poured a large bowl of brown sugar water down his throat.

After a short while, the man in black let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes again.

"Thank you, Madam."

The man tried to get up to bow, but found himself still bound, so he had to give up.

Shangguan Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he could speak again.

If she sees it on the street, she can pretend she didn't see it.

But the children dragged him home; they couldn't just watch him die at home!

Why......

These kids really know how to get themselves into trouble.

"You're awake! You can move? Then you'd better leave quickly!" Shangguan Jin said.

The man in black...

"Madam, you can't move yet. Although you're conscious, your body is still limp and you can't walk," the man said slurredly.

Shangguan Jin found it strange; why couldn't she walk anymore?

"You...are crippled?"

"No!" the man replied.

"Is it because they're still hungry?"

"No, not exactly!" the man continued.

"What is the reason for that?" Shangguan Jin continued to ask.

"If you've been poisoned with 'softening powder,' it won't take two days to recover," the man continued in a low voice.

The crowd, ears perked up...

"You were drugged? Who did it? How could they be so despicable?" Shen Qingjun asked instinctively.

The man's head was lowered as low as it could possibly be.

“Myself!” the man said in an almost mosquito-like voice.

Everyone...

"What did you say? You drugged yourself?" Shangguan Jin suddenly raised her voice.

The man's face, which was originally pale, suddenly turned red, and his ears and neck also turned red.

"No...no! It was an accident."

"So you drugged yourself!" Shen Qingyue said from the side.

The man's face turned even redder, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Now everyone has this feeling.

Could it be that they rescued a mentally challenged child?
