Chapter 195 You have no right to bargain with me
Xi Lin said, looking at Song Yanxi, "Miss Song, please use the silver needles to keep the child alive. I will go and boil the medicine."
Thinking of the rumored Xi family's unique skill, which was said to be a bowl of soul-resurrection soup that could even snatch people from the King of Hell, Song Yanxi hurriedly said yes and began to give acupuncture.
With the help of the Resurrection Soup, she would have a three-point better chance of winning.
As for the rest, it depends on the child's own luck.
Song Yanxi gave him several injections in succession, reached out to feel his weak pulse at his wrist, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
When they were in Beijing, Mo Jinchuan, at her request, only introduced the two of them to each other that day and never revealed that she was the successor of the Divine Doctor Valley.
Given his personality, he would keep the secret for her if he agreed.
How did Doctor Xi Lin know this?
Noticing Song Yanxi's puzzled look, An Yi coughed lightly and said, "Miss, you don't know that Doctor Xi Lin, besides being obsessed with food, also has a not-so-glorious habit."
"Like eavesdropping?"
"The girl is really smart."
With such a hobby, how come he didn't get beaten to death when he was wandering around?
Thinking of the second time they met, Song Yanxi swallowed the words back.
This person is really lucky.
Looking at the little beggar huddled in the corner, shivering with cold but still staring at them with a vigilant look, Song Yanxi wrapped two cakes in oil paper and walked over.
The little beggar looked at the golden baked pancake and swallowed his saliva unwillingly, but he forced himself to hold back and did not reach out to grab it.
He asked cautiously, "Is this for me?"
After seeing Song Yanxi nod, he quickly took it, grabbed a pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.
After finishing one cake, he looked eagerly at the other cake wrapped in oil paper and said through gritted teeth, "I'm full. Leave this for my brother."
An Yihe frowned and couldn't help asking, "Didn't Zhuang Shihan give you any food?"
"who?"
"Your fairy sister."
Hearing the name of his benefactor, the little beggar's expression instantly became alert, and he blurted out: "Sister Fairy is a good person, you are not allowed to bully her!"
An Yi sneered: "You don't even know her name, but you know what is good and bad."
"I just know it!"
The little beggar was so angry that he clenched his fists and said angrily: "Sister Fairy is a good person, not like you guys."
"You're a good person if you gave you two doses of medicine. Miss Song treated your brother and gave you cakes, but why don't you say a word of good things about her?"
An Yi's face darkened. "Zhuang Shihan was right. You are an ungrateful person."
The little beggar was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
He rolled his eyes, looked at Song Yanxi and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Miss Song saved you out of kindness. What could a little brat like you need do?"
"I do need your help with something."
Listening to Song Yanxi's words, the little beggar had an expression of "as expected", while An Yi was so shocked that he was speechless.
He really couldn't imagine what use this kid, who was as thin as a daylily and had only this mouth, could be.
When seeing Zhuang Shihan, he calls her "Fairy Sister" and calls those Miss Song bad women. It is really ungrateful.
It's just that Miss Song has a good temper. If it were that Zhuang Shihan, she would have to tear his mouth apart.
The little beggar stared at Song Yanxi and said, "I can help you, but I also want two more cakes."
Afraid that she wouldn't give him anything, he emphasized, "I can't do anything if I don't have enough to eat, and I can't help you."
An Yi clenched his fists.
Meeting the somewhat uneasy eyes of the little beggar, Song Yanxi decisively refused.
"You have no right to bargain with me."
"You!" The little beggar's eyes turned red with anger.
But when he caught a glimpse of his brother lying on the wooden bed, still unconscious, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
Song Yanxi asked directly: "Where are you from? How many people are there in your family? Why did you two brothers end up in this border town?"
The little beggar rolled his eyes and was about to speak.
An Yi reminded him coldly, "Before you lie, it's best to think about the consequences first."
The little beggar shrank his neck and said honestly, "We are from Lijia Village in Hexi Town. There are four people in our family... Two of us came to the border town to escape with my brother."
As if he was thinking of something sad, the little beggar started crying as he spoke.
He cried and said, "We just want a place to sleep. We don't want to fight with them for territory. Why do they beat us?"
No wonder the child was not only weak but also had internal injuries. It was amazing that he could survive until today.
Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "How many days have you been in the city?"
"Five...six days."
The little beggar wiped his tears and said timidly, "You are not going to drive us all out, are you?"
Song Yanxi sensed something was wrong and frowned as she asked, "Besides you two brothers, are there any other people traveling with you?"
Hearing this, the little beggar cried even harder, "Dead, they are all dead. My brother and I are the only ones left in the village."
He looked at Song Yanxi with tears in his eyes and asked, "Is my brother going to die too?"
Song Yanxi moved her lips, and then she heard Xi Lin's teasing voice behind her, "Don't worry, he's very strong and won't die."
When he heard that he would not die, the little beggar immediately breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyelids and slammed his head to the ground.
An Yi quickly picked the man up, weighed him in his hand and said, "It's not even as heavy as a bag of rice."
Xi Lin sighed, took the child from his hands, and said, "What a sin! Judging from the child's appearance, he hasn't had a full meal or a good sleep for at least half a month.
I've been away from home for so many years and have traveled all over the country, but I've never seen a place where life is like this."
Song Yanxi said softly, "It's an epidemic."
Hearing this, Xi Lin suddenly stopped, his eyes full of disbelief.
He murmured, "How could it be such a coincidence."
“I’ve seen the defense map of this area before. Although Hexi Town is under the jurisdiction of Hongsha City, it is closest to the border town.
The army moves slowly, and the news that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is coming must have spread throughout the streets and alleys a few days ago.
They worshipped His Royal Highness Prince Jin as a god, and they must have thought that the border town would not refuse them entry, so they fled all the way here.
As for those people from his village, most of them died on the road."
Xi Lin thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned ugly. "You mean, maybe this isn't a coincidence?"
Song Yanxi said solemnly, "It's just a guess. This is all just too coincidental."
Even before His Royal Highness Prince Jin led his army to set off, the people of Liang State had been harassing the villages near the border town every few days, as if they were ready to start a war immediately.
But when they arrived at the border town, they found that the Liang army had not made any moves for nearly ten days and was only stationed thirty miles away as a provocation.
The officers and soldiers in the army all said that they were frightened by the reputation of the God of War, and when they heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was on the way, they dared not act rashly again.
This kind of talk is just for fun, don't take it seriously.
Mo Jinchuan only injured his legs, not dead. If they were really afraid of him, they should just keep their distance instead of provoking him repeatedly.
Song Yanxi's intuition told her that Liang Jun's abnormal behavior must be brewing a bigger conspiracy.
