Chapter 80: Taking in the Little Beggar



Seeing Lin Tongxi, the child's eyes suddenly lit up, and even regardless of his injuries, he knelt down in front of him and said, "Thank you, benefactor!"

Faced with this sudden movement, the four of them were also stunned.

Everyone has made great efforts to save this child, why is he so special to Lin Tongxi?

"Uh...get up first, you're still injured." Lin Tongxi helped the child onto the bed, fearing that the previous action would aggravate the child's pain.

But when I looked at the other party's status bar, I found that the other party's injury had actually changed from serious to minor.

"This kid, did he recover so quickly? But he doesn't have any relevant talents... Could it be... the effect of [Live and Die Together]?"

The effect of [Live and Die Together] is to continuously share damage, which is equivalent to taking half of the opponent's damage, and the effect lasts for half a day.

If this half day ends...will the damage transferred to Lin Tongxi be returned?

Lin Tongxi once wondered about this question, but he had few opportunities to use this skill.

Firstly, he was afraid of danger, and secondly, he didn't want to endure too much pain.

After using it this time, Lin Tongxi finally understood the hidden meaning of [Live and Die Together], which is that after the effect ends, the damage suffered by Lin Tongxi will disappear directly instead of being returned to the injured person.

In this way, his skill can be said to be a healing skill to some extent!

Lin Tongxi was overjoyed. Now he could be said to have three very powerful skills.

One is to create something out of nothing, randomly generating items. According to Lin Tongxi's observation, these items are usually modern.

The second is to live and die together, sharing the damage with the chosen one. After the effect ends, the damage on Lin Tongxi will disappear directly into thin air.

The third was teammate enhancement, which increased a teammate's strength by consuming a certain amount of system power. Lin Tongxi hadn't used this yet. After all, they hadn't encountered a strong enough opponent yet, so there was no need to expend too much system power to use this skill.

Just when Lin Tongxi guessed the reason for the other party's gratitude, the other party suddenly called him an immortal and thanked him for alleviating his pain last night.

Just a touch relieved the child's pain a lot.

After hearing the child's description, the three of them looked at Lin Tongxi in confusion.

Of course they knew that Lin Tongxi had many strange things, but after knowing him for so long, they had never heard that Lin Tongxi had any items that could heal injuries.

In response to this, Lin Tongxi made up a story: "Uh... Actually, that is a special secret medicine made by the Golden Finger Sect. It happens to be very effective for his injuries."

"Oh? Then why didn't you take it out at the beginning?" Su Ruoxue asked.

"Uh... I only have one secret medicine on me. It's too precious and can't be used unless it's absolutely necessary. Besides, this is because I believe in your ability, Doctor Su... If he hadn't been in so much pain, I wouldn't have used it." Lin Tongxi's mind was working rapidly, and he finally gave a relatively reasonable explanation.

The child wanted to argue and tell what happened last night.

In fact, Lin Tongxi did not give him any medicine, but just touched him lightly, which greatly relieved his pain.

When he was a child, the child had heard a story about an immortal who said that as long as he touched a patient, no matter how serious the illness was, the patient would recover quickly.

The child thought that perhaps the immortal had something to hide and was unwilling to speak it out, so he chose to keep silent.

He had finally gotten close to the immortal, and it would be terrible if he made him unhappy!

"Okay, okay, didn't he say he had something to tell us?" Lin Tongxi was too lazy to explain the matter of "living and dying together". After all, it was really unbelievable, so he decided to quickly start the next topic.

"By the way, what's your name?" Lin Tongxi picked up a chair, placed it near the child, and then sat down.

Hearing this question, the child was stunned for a moment, and then he answered Lin Tongxi's question: "...I lost my memory...I don't know what my name is...One day I woke up and found myself a beggar, begging in the town...Then everyone called me Little Beggar."

"When I was a beggar, there was a mute grandfather who treated me very well. He was also a beggar... Unfortunately, he died not long ago... Then... Then a group of people came and took me away, saying they would teach me how to make a living. Then they took me to a family named Song."

As he spoke, the little beggar began to cry, missing the only person who had been kind to him in his miserable life.

The Shi family? Could it be where the thief child was before?

"Be good... don't cry, your brothers and sisters are here." Su Ruoxue stroked the little beggar's head, and the little beggar did not resist.

The little beggar cried for a few seconds, and then continued to talk about what happened afterwards in a sobbing voice.

Since entering the Song Mansion, children like him have been forced to learn things like stealing, cheating in gambling, acting to extort money, and pretending to be pitiful and begging.

When Lin Tongxi heard this, he silently complained in his heart: "The scope of this professor in the Song Mansion is quite wide..."

Of course, at such a young age, it is already good enough to be able to learn to steal.

The Song family taught the cheating skill several times, but no one could learn it.

The smarter children were assigned the task of stealing, so that they could live a relatively well-fed life.

But most children are not that smart, so they are beaten up and then thrown into the streets to act pitiful and beg for money.

The little beggar belonged to the former. He was good at stealing, so his life was not so miserable.

As he spoke, the little beggar seemed to be afraid that Lin Tongxi and the others would dislike him, so he quickly explained: "Brother and sister... I have never stolen money from poor people. I only stole from those rich and ruthless villains... I am telling the truth, please don't dislike me."
