Su Junli let it sweep around without moving aside, and only said one more sentence
"I love her, but I can't let her go against the rules. Nurturing a soul is not allowed by the Heavenly Dao, and I can't harm her!"
Titi stopped what she was doing and silently pointed at Qin Luo, probably asking him, "Aren't you going to tell her?"
Su Junli looked in Qin Luo's direction, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance, which transformed into resolute determination!
"If she finds out, she'll only be more upset. Why bother?"
Titi fell silent. It didn't understand human emotions, nor did it comprehend the so-called love between them.
But at this moment, it realized something more important.
That is, knowing a secret but not being able to tell it is incredibly painful…
Every day after that, I continued on my journey as before.
The only difference was that it started raining the day after we left Changjin County.
Qin Luo sat speechlessly on the donkey cart, watching Wu Hua excitedly open her mouth to catch the rainwater.
Ejiao also happily shook its donkey head, occasionally turning back to grin at Wu Hua.
Qin Luo was utterly speechless at these two oddballs.
"Little one, let's go into the space! You play like this every day, aren't you tired of it? Or are you really thirsty?"
Wu Hua glanced at her as if she were illiterate.
"You don't understand anything! Is this just ordinary rain? This is spring rain! Haven't you heard that spring rain is as precious as oil? This year is sure to be a bumper harvest!"
Qin Luo still didn't understand
"But you can't get rained on every day! I'm worried you'll catch a cold after a few days in a row!"
Wu Hua completely ignored her, waving her little hands cheerfully, as if greeting the raindrops.
Although the rain was light, it lasted for four days, and the two of them braved the wind and rain to reach the dilapidated temple outside Sishe County.
Just as the two were about to get out of the car and stretch, they heard the sound of a fight not far away.
Curious, they approached, but before they could even get a proper look, the beggar who had been hitting them noticed them.
He arrogantly yelled at them, "What are you looking at, you brats? Get lost!"
Qin Luo was insulted for no reason and was about to retort when Wu Hua beat her to it.
"You filthy thing, who do you think you are? Believe me or not, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Upon hearing this, the beggars who had been hitting people stopped and all looked at Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
Wu Hua glared at them defiantly, as if a fight was inevitable.
The beggars looked at the two children and burst into laughter.
One of the beggars spoke up
"I thought they were some important people! Turns out they're just two kids!"
The other one chimed in.
"Judging from their jewelry, they must be children from a wealthy family."
On the way, Qin Luo had already instructed Wu Hua to put away the gold bracelet.
I'm just afraid of being seen, it would be troublesome to explain.
Now, it only wears the longevity lock given to it by He Suisui, the collar given to it by Doctor You, and the silver bracelet given to it by Qinling.
Qin Luo was only wearing a silver bracelet on her wrist; the jade pendant Shui Ying had given her was hidden inside her clothes and couldn't be seen at all.
But this was already a luxury for ordinary families, which is why the beggars said they were children from wealthy families.
Seeing Wu Hua's determined look, Qin Luo also glared fiercely at the beggars.
"What do you care whose children we are? What? You think you can just take us?"
The beggars actually had this idea, and they quickly surrounded the two of them.
Wu Hua calmly tugged at Qin Luo's sleeve.
"Hold back a bit, don't kill him!"
How could the beggars tolerate this? They swarmed forward to subdue the two men.
Qin Luo knocked them down with a single punch each, while Wu Hua stomped on the beggar's feet, each stomp eliciting a scream of agony.
In just a few breaths, the beggars were subdued, lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Wu Hua walked up to them like a villain.
"Hahaha! Now you know how powerful I am! Still dare to be arrogant?"
The beggars could never have imagined that a half-grown child and a tiny baby could possess such strength.
They collectively begged for mercy.
"I'm so sorry, young master! I was blind and offended you! Please forgive me!"
"Yes! Young master, please forgive us!"
Wu Hua ignored them completely, pulling Qin Luo to the side of the man who had been beaten earlier. He was lying on the ground, trembling.
"Luo Luo, is he stupid? Why isn't he taking the opportunity to escape and instead just staying here without moving!"
Qin Luo took a closer look and realized that the tendons in the man's hands and feet had been severed.
She pointed to her injury and said to Wu Hua, "I can't walk, all the tendons are torn!"
Wu Hua felt sorry for him.
"Who did this? How could they be so cruel!"
At this moment, the leader of the beggars spoke.
"Young master, he's not a good person! He almost got Doctor Yang killed!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua looked at Qin Luo and said, "There's some gossip going on!"
Qin Luo nodded, then looked at the speaker: "Who is Doctor Yang?"
The beggar then recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
It turns out that this person was saved by a doctor surnamed Yang from Sishe County. During the epidemic, he saved many people who were about to die, including these beggars.
That day, Doctor Yang saw an alley full of people lying down, so he kindly went over to check on them.
They were found to have been drugged; without treatment, they would certainly die.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then looked away in tacit agreement.
The two did not interrupt the speaker, but continued to listen.
The beggar leader said that they helped carry those people into the dilapidated house.
At that time, Dr. Yang gave each of them a piece of cake as payment!
Under his treatment, the group of people gradually recovered!
Who knew that the first thing they did after they regained their mobility was to steal all of Doctor Yang's food and water.
He even threatened to kill him. Fortunately, Doctor Yang was a cautious man and would hide some poison in his sleeves for self-defense!
