[111] Distress
Su Xueer glared at Qianyu fiercely, "If you say anything more, I will call Lingyu back."
Mentioning Xue Lingyu, Su Xueer turned to look at Chi Rui and said, "Sanlang, I want to go to Jirentang to see the master. He is sick. Lingyu has been back for several days and there is no news. I want to go and see him."
"Yeah." Chi Rui nodded.
The relocation and the bandit attack were put aside for the time being.
Su Xueer left the yard carrying the medicine box.
Chi Rui said to Qianyu calmly, "Go follow her."
Qianyu was puzzled, but followed anyway.
Su Xueer came all the way to Jirentang.
Because Manager Xue fell ill, there was no one in the store to see patients, so no one came to see the doctor.
There was only a young apprentice wiping the dust off the cabinet.
The little apprentice is called Bajiao. He entered the sect first, but he is still young. Su Xueer always forces Bajiao to call her senior sister.
Bajiao burst into tears as soon as he saw Su Xueer: "Senior sister, I haven't seen you for several months. Where have you been? Master is very sick. Senior sister Lingyu cries every day..."
"Where is the master?" Su Xueer asked anxiously.
Su Xueer did not want to waste any time and quickly found the home of Shopkeeper Xue.

However, in a remote alley on the way to Manager Xue's house, Su Xueer suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind her.
Just as she was about to look back, a sack was suddenly put over her head, followed by a pungent smell, and she lost consciousness instantly.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xueer slowly woke up, feeling a splitting headache and weakness in her limbs.
She struggled to open her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar place. Her hands and feet were tied tightly with thick ropes, and a dirty rag was stuffed in her mouth, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She looked around in horror and found herself thrown into a dark corner on the street, surrounded by several ragged and hideous beggars who were looking at her with ill intentions and saying some obscene words that were hard to hear.
"This young lady is so pretty. We are so lucky today." A beggar with pockmarks on his face said with drool.
"Hehe, we have to enjoy ourselves." Another one-eyed beggar echoed, showing his yellow teeth.
Su Xueer's heart was filled with fear and despair. She struggled desperately to break free from the restraints, but it was in vain.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she prayed silently in her heart, hoping someone would come and save her.
At this critical moment, Li Muzi, the second in command of Lihua Village, happened to pass by.
He was dressed in a black suit with a long sword on his waist. He had an upright posture and a handsome yet somewhat cold face.
He was just passing by here, but heard the beggars' dirty talk. He frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw this outrageous scene before him.
"How dare you do such a wicked thing in broad daylight!" Li Muzi roared in rage. His voice was like a resounding bell, making the ears of those present buzz.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the beggars fled in all directions.
Li Muzi flashed and quickly grabbed one of the slower beggars. He lifted him up like a chicken and threw him to the ground. "Tell me, who told you to do such a shameless thing?"
The beggar was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered, "It was... a girl who gave us a hundred coins and asked us to do this."
