Tianquan happened to have heard the story from Lu Hanjiang not long ago about the Qian family in the town and the green forest in Xiaofeixia, but what he didn't expect was that not only did these grievances not dissipate with the wind, but they were extended to the next generation.
Hongshan Town is not big, with only one medical center and several pharmacies. However, when Tianquan went to find someone, they all refused when they heard that they wanted to treat the little beggar's relatives.
Now Tianquan really felt helpless. In Hongshan Town, money was not easy to use. They searched for doctors in the town to no avail. They could not take a seriously ill woman on a long journey to a neighboring town.
He wanted to go there, so he had to return to the dilapidated courtyard.
The little beggar stared at a pair of red eyes and stood by the woman's bed. He said in a tone full of hatred: "The people in this town will never care about our life and death. They will not save my aunt."
"..."
Tianquan had nothing to say. He had already heard about the grievances of the previous generation in Hongshan Town, but he did not expect that these grievances had not been eliminated to this day.
Back then, the Qian family was causing mischief in the town. Babu Ping and his party finally led people into the Qian family, killing all men, women, old and young. This little beggar and her aunt were lucky enough to escape.
They are the only two surviving members of the Qian family.
Because of what the Qian family did back then, many people in the town were hostile to their family, so although the two secretly retained some of their family wealth, their lives were very difficult.
In Hongshan Town, everyone regards their aunt and nephew as enemies. On weekdays, they have to travel to the next town even to buy groceries. Life is very difficult for the aunt and nephew. After the woman fell ill from overwork, the family
Everything collapsed at once.
Tian Quan asked with a complex expression: "Since you can't live in Hongshan Town, why don't you choose to leave and simply go to the next town to live?"
The little beggar said bitterly: "My aunt and I are both women. If we go to a place we are not familiar with, we will easily cause trouble. If we stay in Hongshan Town, as long as we don't cause trouble again and tolerate our anger, even though those people won't associate with us,
But he won’t bully us too much.”
Tian Quan sighed silently, glanced at the seriously ill woman on the bed, and said, "If the doctor in this town refuses to give acupuncture, your aunt's illness will have to be left to fate."
The little beggar looked unwilling, but could do nothing. No one in the town was willing to help them. They had been relying on the savings left by the woman for these years. No one was willing to accept the two of them even when they went out to beg for a living.
After the woman fell ill, the little beggar couldn't even buy medicine in Hongshan Town, and had to ask someone to go to the next town to buy it for her. However, the person she entrusted would have "accidents" two out of three times.
After several twists and turns, their small savings immediately hit the bottom.
Tianquan didn't have any good ideas at this time. When he saw the little beggar avoiding him and wiping his tears, he quietly withdrew and watched the fire in the yard for him.
But he didn't expect that when he got to the yard and took a look, even the boiled medicinal materials were at the bottom. Tianquan was very puzzled, so he went in and found the little beggar and asked: "Girl, how can you use those two taels of silver?"
Did you take the medicine?"
The little beggar nodded, and Tian Quan asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, then why are there only so many scraps left in the yard?"
More than two taels of silver were used to make medicine. Even if she ate the medicinal materials as food every day, it would be enough for the woman to eat until next month. These medicinal materials were not precious, so they spent all the money to buy these points.
The little beggar lowered his head and replied: "The pharmacy in Hongshan Town refused to sell medicine to me. I asked someone to go to the next town to buy it. That person only gave me these before. I gave him all the money. He
Tell me it will take a few days to buy it back."
Tianquan was speechless. When this person was unlucky, his teeth would get clogged even if he drank cold water. It was obvious that he had tricked this little beggar.
So he said: "Who do you entrust to buy medicinal materials on weekdays? Let me help you find out."
So the little beggar pointed him in a direction, which was the mountain temple outside the town. After Tianquan went there, he discovered that there were several ragged men gathered here, holding bamboo sticks in their hands and cloth bags hanging around their waists.
He is dressed like a beggar gang.
Tian Quan was surprised. When the imperial guards were cracking down on the beggar gang, apart from the iron-headed boy who was fighting for his life, the only one who still maintained the same outfit and walked around the world was...
"Hey, you kid, what are you looking at here!" When the beggars saw Tianquan looking at them, they immediately changed their faces and came forward to surround them.
Tian Quan glanced at them, looked at them secretly, and at the same time said politely: "I am Tian Quan, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. May I ask if you are brothers of the Beggar Clan?"
"Qingcheng Sect? I've never heard of it." The beggar leader looked arrogant and looked at people with his nose. He patted his chest and said, "I am a disciple of the Beggar Sect. What advice can you, a Taoist priest, give me?"
Seeing his behavior, Tian Quan shook his head: "It is indeed a fake. Everyone, the name of the Beggar Clan is not easy to borrow and use now. Please stop calling yourself like this, otherwise it will easily bring disaster to yourself."
"You little nose, what are you talking about?" The man frowned and looked at Tianquan with an unkind look and said.
Tianquan didn't care about the other party's bad attitude, but continued: "Did a girl come to your place before and ask you to run errands to buy medicine in the next town?"
Several beggars looked at each other, and the leader was stunned for a moment. Then he rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "So you came here to find a place for that stupid girl from the Qian family. Brothers, beat him up!"
The men immediately took action without thinking, and punched them with fists as big as sandbags. Tianquan frowned, raised his foot and kicked each of them down, easily kicking them all to the ground.
In just one meeting, several men became gourds on the ground. When the leader saw that he had kicked the iron plate, he quickly begged for mercy: "Niubi...ah, no, Taoist priest - please go around, Taoist priest."
I wait!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tian Quan saw that they were ordinary people who didn't know martial arts, so he didn't hit hard, but he kicked him solidly, and it definitely still hurt.
It will hurt.
Several people knelt down and begged for mercy. Tianquan did not make things difficult for anyone, so he said, "Miss Qian asked you to buy medicine. Why do you want to bully a young, ignorant and shameless person into giving her money back?"
The little beggar just gave them the money not long ago, and these people didn't have time to go to the next town. Besides, they had no intention of running errands. They just used this as an excuse to try to cheat more money.
Now Tianquan came to the door, and they had no choice but to return the money. Tianquan got his money back and asked again: "What's more, this is not the first time you have defrauded the girl. The previous one
Where did the money go?”
Several people hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Taoist Priest! It's not that we don't want to pay back the money, but we really have no money. The money we got from that stupid...from that girl has been exchanged for wine by our brothers."
After drinking, we really can’t afford more money..."
It's true. These people were just idle on weekdays, never able to save money, and spent the money they got from defrauding them in exchange for wine. Except for a few tattered quilts in the mountain temple, they had no other valuable items at all.
Tianquan glared at several people, gave them a verbal lesson, forced them to swear not to cheat again, and then left.
However, although he got the money back, the problem of the medicinal materials had not been resolved. The woman was seriously ill and could not travel far, and the town refused to sell medicine to them, so Tianquan had no choice but to go to the next town to buy some.
But he couldn't worry about the little beggar, so he went to the inn first and asked Lu Hanjiang for help.
After Lu Hanjiang heard the story he told, he agreed as a matter of passing time.
