Chapter 105: Poor
Han Yueshan and others closed their eyes and lay on the aircraft to rest.
Li Xiu jokingly said, "Miss Tao's junior brothers and sisters all seem quite quiet."
Tao Zi glanced at them and said, "Maybe they're hungry."
Ah Ze looked over in confusion, and she continued, "Is there anything to eat?"
Suddenly, Han Yueshan and others opened their eyes and looked over with sharp eyes.
Li Xiu shook her head under pressure: "No, but didn't we deliver food before?"
Xi Jing said honestly, "I don't dare to eat it."
Uh...it's understandable, after all, there are precedents.
"Surrender and we'll let you go!"
As they were chatting and laughing, a heavy and serious warning suddenly came from behind.
Aze looked back and saw someone coming towards him on a sword.
He hurriedly warned, "Someone's catching up! It's a deacon from the Law Enforcement Hall, with a Golden Core cultivation level."
Tao Zi clenched the dagger in her hand. With her current strength, she was unable to compete with the golden elixir.
Li Xiu couldn't help but curse: "You ignored me before, and now you're picking on the people who helped you. Are you sick?"
"I see the bad, not the good. That's why my backers don't get along with them."
After saying this, Aze suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "There's a mountain range ahead with complex terrain, perfect for throwing people away. I'll go down there and stop him to buy you some time."
Li Xiu said solemnly: "Be careful, who knows what someone with this kind of train of thought might do."
Aze smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to touch me."
The deacon behind them was getting closer and closer to them, and fortunately they had arrived at the mountains.
Aze jumped off the aircraft with the help of a spiritual weapon, while Li Xiu controlled the aircraft to turn into the mountains and successfully got rid of the deacon.
A day later, they arrived at a small town.
In order to hide their whereabouts, they packed up their spiritual weapons far away from the town and walked towards the town.
Halfway through the journey, Han Yueshan could no longer walk and had to be carried on a simple stretcher.
There are no guards in the town. The market is right after you enter the town, and there are all kinds of fishy and meaty shops waiting for you.
Li Xiu couldn't help but frown, Tao Zi looked normal, just glanced at a certain place, Han Yueshan and others had shining eyes as they looked at the food.
After walking a few steps, a hand suddenly grabbed Li Xiu and wailed, "Sir, please give us some food and some copper coins. My child is starving to death."
He was startled and looked down to see a beggar with a greasy face pulling at his clothes. His clothes were tattered and he looked miserable. There were a few scattered copper coins in the broken bowl that was shaking.
Before Li Xiu could respond, Xi Jing spoke gloomily, "Senior Sister, he's showing off his wealth."
Everyone who heard this turned their heads to look, only to see her staring at the copper coins in the beggar's bowl, her eyes full of longing: "Senior Sister, it seems like we have no copper coins left. Are we going to live under the bridge later?"
Han Yueshan and Zhao Xue both looked at the beggar. The beggar slowly took a step back. Zhao Xue said, "Big brother, do you know which bridge hole is the most comfortable? Or, is there any way to make money quickly?"
"We're both broke, big brother, can you give me a favor?"
Seeing the shining eyes of the beggars, he immediately put the copper coins into his arms, took the broken bowl and hid aside, cursing: "I have never seen anyone poorer than beggars!"
Han Yueshan said with emotion: "We never thought that this day would come."
Li Xiu silently put the silver in his hand back to its original place and resisted the urge to distance himself.
It seems that the beggars here are well-informed. In the following period of time, all the beggars begged around them, as if they were afraid of being begged back.
When Han Yueshan and the others were talking about several places to sleep for free in the town, Li Xiu couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to the inn to pay the money, and ordered a bunch of food under their expectant gaze.
Xi Jing praised: "How generous!"
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Xiu changed the gauze on Han Yueshan's wound and said, "My spiritual energy doesn't belong to the healing system, otherwise it would be much more convenient."
There are many kinds of spiritual energy for medical practitioners, some are used for investigation, some promote wound healing, some resist toxins, and even some clear out demonic energy.
Some medical practitioners choose to specialize in one area, others dabble in a few, and some choose to cultivate in multiple fields. Of course, high-level medical practitioners can master almost anything, as they have lived long enough to have ample time to cultivate.
Li Xiu just happened to be good at investigation. Although he had some experience in other things, his abilities were limited.
Han Yueshan was curious as it was his first time actually interacting with medical practitioners. He asked, "Medical practitioners use spiritual energy for treatment, so it's the doctors who make the medicine, right?"
He shook his head and denied it, "Of course not. Every medical practitioner will learn to make medicine. It's just that some medical practitioners will despise making medicine and focus on cultivation, while others believe that making medicine is more important than cultivating spiritual energy. Everyone has different views and chooses different paths."
"Understood."
At this time, Tao Zi came over with a bowl of black medicine.
The three of them were silent.
Xi Jing was the bravest one and asked quietly, "Sister, do you still need to drink?"
She asked back, "Have you ever seen any disease that only requires taking medicine once?"
Li Xiu looked at the medicine and felt pity. From the appearance, it was even more terrifying than the first medicine he made.
After drinking the medicine, the three of them fell into a corpse-like state.
Li Xiu spoke up: "Miss Tao, what do you think?"
She nodded and said, "Yes, but I have an additional request."
"Please go ahead."
"Check the health of my three junior brothers and sisters to prevent any remaining plague."
Li Xiu laughed and said, "You don't have to tell me, I will do it. After all, we are companions now, so it is normal to help each other."
Before Tao Zi could speak, he added, "Also, I'll cover your travel expenses from now on, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Good man."
"Good medical practitioner."
"A truly kind person."
Han Yueshan and the other two suddenly became much more sober and spoke one after another.
He recalled what happened before and said uncomfortably, "If we meet those poor people in the future, we can help them appropriately. Anyway, we won't hurt them at all."
Even if you don't help, you can't just stare at their broken bowls!
He didn't say the latter sentence, but he expressed it with his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Han Yueshan rolled his eyes and said, "If they were truly pitiful people, there would be no harm in helping them within our ability, but they are not!"
"They're not?"
Xi Jing sighed softly, "Look at the fabrics of their clothes, and then look at their fair, rosy skin. To be honest, we are much more pitiful than them."
"ah?"
Seeing Li Xiu's bewildered expression, Han Yueshan kindly explained, "Real beggars aren't like that. If they approach wealthy people, or even ordinary people, they'll be scorned or even kicked. How could they dare to grab someone's clothes so boldly? Believe it or not, if you had dared to do that just now, the beggars here would have surrounded you."
He was shocked.
Tao Zi spoke up: "Don't show off your wealth at this time, or you'll get harassed."
