Chapter 139
Shen Jiao and the others had no idea what was going on when they saw this situation. They knew there must be someone close to him who was being suppressed.
"Let's go and take a look." Xue Shun suggested.
"Okay." Qiongzhi nodded.
Shen Jiao: "What's the point of looking here? This is still the territory of Tongcai Villa. There must be a hall, a garrison, etc. The most important thing is to find someone to come here quickly."
Shen Jiao looked around and walked towards the two beggars who were watching the fun. He handed them the hairpin and Xue Shun's token, gave them a few instructions, and then came back.
Qiongzhi asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid they'll just run away with the things?"
"Just run away. I only lost a hairpin, but they will be profiled for stealing the young master's token, with wanted posters posted all over the streets. They won't even be able to eat. Passing a message won't cost them their lives. What kind of fool would take things and not do anything? Didn't you see the appearance of those two beggars?"
"What it looked like?" Qiongzhi thought for a moment, "It was quite dirty."
Shen Jiao: "They are a bit dirty, but they are dressed warmly enough so they won't be cold at night. There are people coming and going on the street, but they are not in a hurry to beg for money. Instead, they sit by the wall, catching lice and watching the fun. They are so lazy that they are almost asleep. It can be seen that they are probably not hungry and don't have to worry about tomorrow.
Such people are either incredibly lazy, living from hand to mouth, not caring about life or death, or they have ambitions and a plan for making a living. Looking at their chubby appearances, they must be the latter. Such people are not stupid; if you give them the task, they will definitely get it done. The cunning ones will probably even ask for a few more rewards."
"You talk so coherently, as if you were once a beggar. Let me say..." Qiongzhi thought for a moment and then said in a long tone, "Maybe they are not beggars at all. There are no fat beggars. Maybe they are related to this matter and are pretending to be beggars to follow us. What do you think, sir?"
Xue Shun: "This... seems to make sense."
Shen Jiao rolled her eyes. "How can that make sense? If they're fake, that's too bad. Not only do they have lice, but they don't even trim their nails. They're covered in mud. How long must it take for them to go without a shower?"
Shen Jiao just walked over and was almost knocked down by the smoke.
"Besides, how do you know if I was a beggar? When I was begging on the street, I was afraid you were still playing in the mud. How could you know them better than me?"
Shen Jiao never underestimates these shadow-like people.
They may seem humble and insignificant, huddled in an inconspicuous corner, unable to even get enough to eat, but in fact, there is a lot they can do.
As long as they come together, they will be a great force.
For example, Jin Shuisheng and his friends, although they are just a group of children, know a lot of things and can make an adult fool around.
If you set your mind to do something, you will definitely be able to accomplish it.
Chang Ge'er once wanted to subdue these people and set up a Beggars' Gang, but unfortunately they were just two children at that time, and no one would take them seriously, let alone submit to them.
They couldn't even subdue the beggars in a county, let alone all the beggars in the world.
Chang Ge'er just loves to brag.
She was so naive back then that she actually believed his lies. As a result, when they were separated, Shen Jiao was still the only member of his gang, and he, the gang leader, only took her to have affairs...
What wonderful memories.
When Shen Jiao came to her senses, she saw two pairs of sympathetic eyes.
Qiongzhi said hesitantly, "I, I think... there's nothing wrong with being a beggar."
Xue Shun patted her arm and said, "I want to be a beggar there, too."
Shen Jiao: ...
Is it worthwhile to comfort a poor guy who has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters and a young prostitute who grew up in a brothel and was bullied by others?
We are all equally miserable, okay!
These two people are too kind-hearted.
Shen Jiao pretended to be sad and said that she wanted to be alone for a while. As soon as the two of them went there, she ate up all three bowls of noodles, wiped her mouth, and used the last three cents to buy a string of candied haws. After eating, she slowly strolled over to find them.
Xue Shun and Qiongzhi were actually helping to rescue people.
Shen Jiao sighed that he had arrived too early, but he had to roll up his sleeves and join in.
The folk customs here are still simple.
Many people came to help, including a doctor, but unfortunately human life is so fragile that a brick or a tile can kill a person.
Those who are still alive are not having an easy time either, and their condition is horrible.
Xue Shun walked towards the man who collapsed first and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and go to the clinic. I know a doctor who is very skilled in medicine. I'll ask him to help later."
The man turned around and held a small corpse in his arms.
His daughter was gone, and his wife's body was half smashed to pieces and had just been carried away.
Hearing Xue Shun say this, he said with a dull face: "Ah? Okay..."
The man seemed to be stupid and like a ghost. He turned around in a circle while holding his daughter who looked like a human being. Only after Xue Shun reminded him did he chase after her.
"Hey..." Xue Shun raised his hand, wanting him to put his daughter down before leaving.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them. He could only swallow them back and silently retracted his hand. He looked at the bloodstains along the way. There was some white stuff mixed in with it, like grease, and also like... brain matter...
Xue Shun still vomited, but he did so after he had walked a long way.
I almost made it to the boat.
Shen Jiao: So strong!
Shen Jiao and Qiongzhi went to help him. Xue Shun squatted on the ground, waved his hands and said, "Qiongzhi, go find Doctor Wei first and tell him I told you to come and help."
Xue Shun hadn't finished vomiting yet and couldn't leave for the time being.
After he finished vomiting and recovered, Qiongzhi also called Wei Qian over. He didn't want to go back to the boat anymore and wanted to go with them to take a look.
Shen Jiao tried to persuade him, but Xue Shun was not willing to listen.
So they went to the clinic.
Although this is someone else's place, there are too many injured people and many people have no money for medicine, so the owner of the clinic doesn't mind other doctors coming to help. He just is not happy about the medicinal materials.
Xue Shun was also impulsive and took the job immediately. He took off the jade pendant and placed it on the counter, then asked Shen Jiao to get the money.
The owner of this inn is a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have let people carry these injured people in. At this time, I can't help but quietly advise: "It's good that you are kind-hearted, but what does this have to do with you? Don't blame me for being nosy. I advise you to stay out of it, otherwise there will be some wicked people who will blame you. The Chuge Tower has been closed for a long time, otherwise it wouldn't have collapsed. No one knows who the owner is now. If you interfere... I run a clinic, I have to treat patients and save lives. There is no other way. Why are you asking for trouble?"
He just gave a reminder and didn't go into too much detail.
Xue Shun was a little angry with him at first, but after hearing what he said, he looked at him with much more favor.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I saw it, but I couldn't do anything about it. I feel guilty about it."
He looked at Shen Jiao somewhat uncertainly.
Shen Jiao was a bad person, but she wouldn't make such a decision for Xue Shun: "If you want to intervene, why don't you reveal your identity? Who can still blame Tongcai Villa?"
