The beggars living in the dilapidated temple were automatically divided into three groups according to their age.
The old beggar usually makes a living by begging, and just sleeps when he comes back to the dilapidated temple.
Then there are the middle-aged beggars. Since they are strong and healthy, they do everything and occasionally do odd jobs. In comparison, they are the group that lives the best.
The ones who have the hardest time making a living are the little beggars headed by Ji Ming.
If you go begging, you will be chased away by the old beggars, and no one will be willing to lend you money to buy labor.
On weekdays, he could only steal to fill his stomach, and occasionally he would run errands for others or take advantage of others.
As he said that, Dandan glanced at Song Yuehua and chuckled twice.
Song Yuehua: “…” She was definitely not one of them.
The little beggar, who was originally at the bottom of the three, was now able to live a decent life under Ji Ming's leadership.
There is obviously no conflict of interest, but those middle-aged beggars just can't stand it.
Not only is he always sarcastic on weekdays, he also often bullies the younger ones when the older ones are not around.
The day before yesterday, a little beggar named Tangyuan had a persistent fever. After Ji Ming took Tangyuan to see a doctor, he didn't have much money to pay for the medicine. The clinic was not one of those that do charity, so Tangyuan could only go home and wait to die without money.
"Didn't I give you 5 taels of silver before?" Song Yuehua asked.
Dandan glanced at her, lowered his head and mumbled, "Last time, my brother was beaten by human traffickers. He vomited blood in the middle of the night after returning to the temple. All the money was spent on the clinic..."
Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Ji Ming.
Dandan continued to speak.
In order to get medicine for Tangyuan, Ji Ming took a risk and climbed into Jin Yuanwai's mistress's house in the middle of the night, hoping to steal some money.
As a result, as soon as he climbed over the wall, the constables came outside.
Ji Ming flipped out from the other end, then jumped into the lake again and dived in the water for a long time in the middle of the night.
After waiting for a long time for the constables to leave, the man was finally rescued by Gao Wazi. After he was rescued, he didn't dare to go back to the dilapidated temple and could only hide in this place.
At this point, Dandan said angrily, "If it weren't for Xu Laoer reporting the incident, big brother wouldn't have suffered this kind of punishment."
"Who is Xu Lao Er?" Song Yuehua asked.
Gao Wazi explained that Xu Laoer was the leader of the middle-aged beggars.
Dandan wiped his face and said, "When Big Brother went in, Gao Wazi and I were guarding outside. When the constables came, we saw clearly that it was Xu Laoer who led the people."
Song Yuehua couldn't figure it out, so she asked, "Have you ever offended this Xu Lao Er?"
"No," Dandan said with a face full of grievance, "Big brother always tells us to stay away from Xu Laoer's gang, so why would we go and provoke them?"
Gao Wazi also nodded.
Song Yuehua thought that this Xu Laoer might be mentally twisted.
There is no way to find a midwife today, and Ji Ming’s situation cannot be ignored.
Song Yuehua asked Duan Yidao to buy a bag of medicine for treating colds and 500 kilograms of bran, and then drive the ox cart here.
During this time, Song Yuehua asked Dandan to bring a bowl of cold water, tore off a piece of cloth from her underwear, wet it and applied it to Ji Ming's forehead.
The water had to be kept cool, so Dandan and Gao Wazi kept running around to fetch and change the water.
After a long time, Duan Yidao came back.
Song Yuehua asked him to carry Ji Ming to the car and then cover him with bran.
After making sure that the person was well covered, Song Yuehua said to Dandan and Gao Wazi, "I'm going to take him home. You take the sick friend to see a doctor first, and then go to the city gate to take the oxcart of Master Ma and let him take you to Taoyuan Village."
Then, give them 1 tael of silver.
Gao Wazi kept holding on to Ji Ming and refused to let go.
Song Yuehua woke Ji Ming up and asked him to talk. Ji Ming opened his eyes dazedly and said, "Listen to her."
Dandan also pulled Gao Wazi's hand and said, "We can only trust Sister Song."
Song Yuehua glanced at Ji Ming, and then discussed with Duan Yidao, "His cold is quite serious, I still want to take him to the clinic for a checkup."
Duan Yidao said, "Don't worry, young lady. I have explained his symptoms in detail to the doctor. If you are really worried, I will ask Hunter Xie to come over to take a look at him tonight."
The safest way now is to leave the city as soon as possible. If you are caught, let alone seeing a doctor, it will be doubtful whether you can survive.
After giving the instructions, Duan Yidao drove the ox cart out of the city with Song Yuehua sitting in the front.
Song Yuehua had caught a spy from the Desert Kingdom once before, and he happened to be caught by the same people guarding the gate today.
Therefore, they had a particularly deep impression of her. When she was leaving the city gate, several guards waved and greeted her, and she responded with a smile.
Only after they were far away did Song Yuehua heave a sigh of relief. Then she removed the sack of bran covering Ji Ming's body, patted his face and asked, "Are you still alive?"
Ji Ming wrinkled his face in pain and said unhappily, "Not dead."
"It's good that you're not dead." Song Yuehua moved the bran bag aside and let Ji Ming use it as a pillow.
When they reached the village entrance, Song Yuehua stuffed Ji Ming under the sack of bran again, explaining, "I didn't mean to torment you on purpose. I was mainly afraid that you would get me into trouble."
Ji Ming was both angry and amused. If he was really worried about getting involved, he would have just bought a bag of medicine. Why would he take the risk of bringing him out?
Song Yuehua took everyone to Dongshan compound. Liu Xue and Qin Xiuxiu had gone to buy piglets and had not returned yet.
Granny Lan and Liu Youfu were busy in the yard, and only Zhu Yanli was in the yard.
She was shocked when she saw Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao holding a sick person. Without saying a word, she picked up the bedding and went to make the bed.
Song Yuehua was so scared when she saw Zhu Yanli working so hard with a big belly that her eyelids twitched.
Although Zhu Yanli was pregnant and looked scary, she was actually very efficient and made the bed in no time.
