The old man sighed and said, "We don't know anyone here in Huamen Town. Perhaps I really misunderstood you, young master. You are not that kind of person. In that situation, Xier's survival was the most important thing, so I asked her to find you. It seems that my gamble was right. You are a good person. I misunderstood you. Thank you for saving my life."

Qibao said, "You're right to be alert. Ultimately, I'm also responsible for this. If it weren't for the silver I gave you, your grandfather and grandson wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

The old man shook his head and said, "Young Master, you have good intentions, but there are too many bad people in this world!"

Qibao asked, "Who hurt you? Do you know him?"

The old man said, "They are also beggars. They usually go out in groups of three or five to beg for food. Many weak beggars in the town have been bullied by them. Sometimes when we finally get some food and copper coins, they will snatch them away. They are very arrogant and domineering. Xier and I have also been robbed a few times. Usually when we see them, we try to avoid them."

After Qibao understood the situation, he saw that the old man's face was pale due to blood loss, so he quickly said, "Old man, you should lie down and rest first. It's getting late now. Let Xier go to bed early too."

Qibao originally wanted to arrange a room for Xier, but the little girl just didn't want to leave. Qibao had no choice but to let her go and went back to sleep.

The next day, Qibao gave Chunwa some money and asked him to go out and buy some breakfast. Chunwa also knew where to buy it, so he went out without saying a word.

When Chunwa came back, Qibao specially brought two bowls of white porridge and some snacks to the room of the grandfather and grandson.

When Qibao entered, the old man had already woken up, and Xier was fanning him...

"Xi'er, it's time for breakfast. I bought some porridge, which is perfect for your grandpa to eat while he recovers from his injuries."

"Young master, thank you for taking the trouble to buy food for us and letting me recuperate here. I am very grateful!" said the old man.

"Old man, you don't have to be polite. These don't cost much. I see that you look better than yesterday. You should be well soon." Qibao said.

"I feel better than yesterday. Thank you, young master!" said the old man.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Xier, feed your grandpa some porridge!" Qibao said.

Xier took a bowl of porridge and was about to feed the old man, but the old man said, "I can eat by myself, Xier, you eat your own! Young Master hasn't eaten yet, right? We can't let our grandfather and grandson delay Young Master's meal time, so you should go and eat! Don't worry about me!"

Qibao nodded and walked out the door.

In the afternoon, Xier suddenly came to Qibao and said, "Master, my grandfather has something to tell you."

Qibao was puzzled and followed Xier to the old man's room and said, "Old man, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Does what you said yesterday still count?"

Qibao was stunned for a moment, then said, "You mean you're willing to bring Xier to my house to be the concierge?"

"Yes, although I haven't spent much time with you, sir, I can tell you're a good person. I'm old, and I might not be able to protect Xier completely. If you don't mind, I'll agree. As long as we can have enough to eat and Xier won't be bullied anymore, I'll be satisfied."

Qibao said, "Don't worry, no one will bully you when you come to my house. However, my home is not in town. I will take you back in a couple of days."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions, sir. I'm willing to sign the indenture, even if it means becoming a slave. It's better than starving to death or getting beaten to death one day!"

Qibao said, "Don't worry. I just said before that I would teach Xier to read and practice martial arts. What do you think, old man?"

The old man didn't directly answer Qibao's question. Instead, he asked Xier, who was standing beside him, "Xier, did you hear what the young master said? Are you willing to learn?"

Xier thought for a moment and said, "I'm willing. As long as I learn Kung Fu, I can protect Grandpa and never let him bleed so much again!"

The old man's eyes welled up as he said, "No! Xier, when you learn kung fu, the first person you should protect is the young master. We should learn to repay our gratitude. The young master saved Grandpa's life!"

"Yes! I will protect the young master and grandpa in the future!" Xier nodded and said.

Qibao said, "Xier, practicing martial arts is not only hard, but it can also cause injuries. Can you persist?"

"Yes, I can hold on."

Qibao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tomorrow, I will go and avenge you. I won't let anyone who dares to bully me have an easy time!"

The old man was shocked when he heard this and said quickly, "Young Master, don't be impulsive. Those people are strong and healthy, they are all adults. You will suffer!"

Qibao said, "I'll eat anything, but I won't suffer any loss. Don't worry, old man. If I can't even handle these people, my family won't let me go out alone."

Although the old man felt that what Qibao said made sense, he still felt a little worried. After all, the young master still looked like a child. How could he defeat those adult men!

…

The next day, Qibao left Chunwa and his sister at home to take care of the elderly, and asked Xier to lead the way, intending to seek revenge on those people.

The two men walked all the way to an abandoned Taoist temple outside the town. Before they even entered, they heard a man shouting and scolding: "Didn't you hear me telling you to try harder? Didn't you eat or something? You're a bunch of unwanted bastards. If it weren't for us brothers, you would have been abducted by human traffickers long ago!" Then there was a "pop" sound.
