Chapter 204: Something is wrong at the border, don't worry
Seeing Song Yanxi trying to stop him from opening his mouth, An Yi suddenly realized something and quickly let go.
Without the clamp, Goudan fell heavily on his butt to the ground, screaming in pain.
His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly burst into tears and shouted heartbreakingly: "Ah, the evil woman is killing people!"
"Shut up!" An Yi reached out to grab his collar, but Song Yanxi raised her hand to stop him.
She only asked, "Where is the man who tried to sow discord last night being held?"
An Yi immediately understood what she meant. He raised his hand and ordered in a cold voice, "Take this guy who can't tell good from bad and is trying to discredit Miss Song away and lock him up."
"Yes!" Two soldiers came trotting over, one grabbing the arm and the other the leg, and lifted up Goudan who was rolling on the ground.
Fearing he would fall, Goudan was too frightened to struggle and could only howl, "Murder! Help!"
One person thought he was too noisy and was so noisy that she pulled out a sweat towel and stuffed it into his mouth.
Someone lifted the curtain of the tent and stuck his head out to watch the fun, but was frightened by the scene and immediately shrank back, fearing that Goudan would anger Song Yanxi and then implicate him.
I didn't even dare to look at it, let alone help.
The surroundings were extremely quiet for a moment. Only a weak and old voice whispered his name, but no one paid any attention.
The people who shared the tent were even afraid of getting into trouble, so they deliberately shouted loudly, "If you don't want to live, then die quickly, old man, and stop lying here taking up space!"
"Your precious grandson, even though he was given away for free, no one even glanced at him. I don't know why you're so fond of him. With his ugly appearance, do you really expect him to be able to carry on your family line when he grows up?"
"That's right. If you're really afraid of dying and no one crying for you, we brothers will cry for you then."
The teasing voices of several people were loud and playful, but they could not cover up the helpless crying of the old man.
Across the tent, An Yi clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "These people are so cold-blooded that they can't even be called human beings. Why is Miss Song wasting her time on them?"
"Where did they go wrong?"
Meeting An Yi's puzzled gaze, Song Yanxi continued to ask, "Do you think that grandfather and grandson can snatch the medicine left by Zhuang Shihan?"
In terms of strength, this old man and the child are no match for the other beggars, and they might even be beaten up by other strong beggars because of the fight.
But whether from Goudan’s excited behavior last night or from his absolute support for Zhuang Shihan, he must have gotten the medicine from her and taken it.
Whether he had two for himself, or the grandfather and grandson only had one and the older one gave it to the younger one, it only proves one thing.
This kid is fundamentally a very selfish person.
This can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to turn against the two Li brothers yesterday.
Although what those beggars said was harsh, it was the truth.
The grandfather and grandson have already been reduced to begging for a living. How can he have a good life with such a selfish grandson around him?
I'm afraid that the only meal he will have in the future will go into Liu Goudan's own stomach.
What’s the point of having a grandson like this?
Grandpa Liu took good care of the two brothers and even helped Li Cheng change his dirty clothes stained with feces and urine. Even if Liu Goudan could learn such a kind character, he would not be what he is now.
It really proves the saying that spoiling a child is like killing him.
Listening to the mournful cries coming from the tent, An Yi took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Song Yanxi, saying in a cold voice, "Young lady, please read the letter first. I'll be back soon."
Looking at his back, Song Yanxi thought of something and was about to remind him, when she saw An Yi suddenly raise his right hand and wave it in the air.
When I looked closely, I found that he was holding a roll of cotton cloth in his hand.
Judging from its thickness and shape, it is perfect for plugging the mouth.
Could it be that this person... came prepared?
Song Yanxi retracted her gaze and looked at the letter in her hand. The envelope was made of ordinary paper that could be found everywhere on the street, but the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful, and every stroke showed the bold and decisive momentum of the person who wrote it.
They had just met in the morning, so why couldn't they say it face to face? Why did they have to trouble An Yi to make such a special trip?
Or is it something important?
Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, Song Yanxi held the letter in her hand and found a safe place before opening it.
The content of the letter was very short, just six simple words, and she could read it all at a glance.
"There's something strange going on at the border, don't worry."
Song Yanxi clearly knew every word on it.
But when they were put together, she felt that she couldn't understand it inexplicably.
Obviously, there are still two generals, Xu and Cheng, available in the city, or General Qiu and a group of deputy generals. What kind of urgent matter has happened that would make him willing to go there despite the injury on his shoulder and the risk of his life?
Even if he had to go, he should have brought An Yi with him.
Recalling An Yifang's abnormal behavior, Song Yanxi came to her senses belatedly.
No wonder he looked like he came prepared. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind to vent his anger on that man from yesterday.
Song Yanxi kept the letter close to her body, hurried out of the tent, and walked towards the tent in the corner where firewood was stored.
As he approached, he heard a man's muffled groan coming from inside, which sounded particularly strange along with the whimpering sound of a child.
Hearing the footsteps, An Yi threw two more punches, still unsatisfied, before stopping.
He squatted down, reached out and pulled the cloth out of the beggar's mouth, patted his face and asked coldly: "Can you speak now?"
"I said, I said everything..."
An Yi turned his head to look at Goudan, who was huddled in the corner, crying and motionless in fear. Before he could say anything, just one look from her scared him to death.
Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him, he picked up the beggar, who was curled up like a shrimp, with one hand and strode out of the tent.
When the beggar saw Song Yanxi, he was like seeing a savior. He kept calling her "miracle doctor, save my life" and his cry was so sincere and heartfelt.
After being thrown to the ground by An Yi, he endured the pain, got up, and kowtowed at Song Yanxi's feet.
He kowtowed and trembled as he said, "The miracle doctor saved me, but that woman lied to me. I'll tell you everything!"
Song Yanxi didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment. She looked at An Yi and asked directly, "When did you leave?"
An Yi: "Half an hour ago."
In half an hour, if they galloped, they would have already left the border town.
As if he had anticipated her anger, An Yi knelt down with a plop and said respectfully, "Please punish me, young lady."
The beggar bared his teeth and said, "Divine Doctor, punish him quickly, severely..."
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Song Yanxi gave the beggar a sharp glance, and the beggar was so scared that he immediately shrank his neck like a quail.
She glanced at An Yi and said coldly, "Come with me."
An Yi knelt there motionless, repeating only, "Miss, just punish me."
