After finishing all the things that should be done, Yu Qiuping finally had a solid sleep. Early the next morning, Charlie went to the mountains behind Junfu Castle to shoot arrows as if nothing had happened. Yu Qiuping started settling accounts again and prepared to pay off debts. After working hard for a long time, the harvest was achieved.
Not bad. He has already made 82 yuan. He plans to take two more orders in the afternoon.
During lunch, Charlie still came back on time. Just as the two of them were sitting in the shop and preparing to eat, they heard a knock on the door outside the shop.
Yu Qiuping and Charlie got up and opened the door. Standing at the door was a young beggar, about 1.6 meters tall. In Japan, this is considered tall. Although the beggar was very tall, he was very thin.
The left foot is wrapped in half a straw sandal, and the right foot is wearing a cloth shoe that I picked up from somewhere, with a big hole in the toe. Although the clothes on my body have many holes, they are not dirty. It can be seen that
The owner washed it carefully. He wore a bun on the back of his head, which was a bit like a samurai bun, but not quite. The most eye-catching thing was that his right eye was covered by a white cloth tied behind his head.
, some pus can be seen slightly on the edge of the white cloth, and there is also some redness on the cheek under the right eye.
His name is Chibei, and he has been wandering for ten years.
He was originally the son of a concubine from a samurai family in Mino. His parents passed away when he was four years old. Since he was a child, he had a humble status and was not favored by his uncles and uncles at home. While other children were enjoying the happiness of their family,
, but he has already started to help with the housework. Since he was a child, he has learned to watch people's words and live cautiously.
However, misfortunes happen to people. When he was six years old, he suffered from an eye disease. It was only a mild inflammation at first, but no one in the family cared about this child. Finally, the inflammation became more and more serious, and his eyes began to ulcerate and pus.
His disgusting eldest son beat him, but instead accused him of being the first to do it. As a result, Chibei was kicked out of the house and he began to wander.
He once caught bird eggs in the mountains, ate grass roots, and wandered all the way from Mino to Suruga to beg. It was said to be begging, but he never knelt down to pray for mercy from others. Instead, he asked others for a job.
However, everyone hated Chibei's scary right eye, and all of them waved their hands to chase him away, and even punched him.
For ten years, although he has been down and out, he has never allowed himself to be sloppy. Because in his vague memory, his father asked him to keep himself tidy no matter what.
So he often went to the river to take a bath. Even if the pants he finally picked up were washed away by the water, he kept this habit.
He had no money for medical treatment, and his eye disease was becoming more and more painful. Now, he could hardly do heavy work. He would be exhausted after walking a few steps and could no longer catch prey. He had to pray in Sunfu Castle.
Work and eat other people's leftovers.
Today, he discovered a newly opened shop and decided to try his luck. However, he didn't have much expectations.
The guard bowed and asked weakly, "Sorry to disturb you two adults." Although his tone was humble, he tried hard to maintain his dignity, which made people feel particularly distressed. "I want to ask, is there any villain?
A job that can be done?”
"This..." Yu Qiuping and Charlie looked at each other in confusion.
"You two adults, don't worry. I'm just a beggar, but I don't want to beg," Chibei explained. "I want to use my labor in exchange for some food. I don't know, you two..."
"No problem," Yu Qiuping agreed immediately and led him into the house. "You can have some food with us first." As he said this, he poured some millet porridge from his own bowl and gave it to him.
"This..." Chibei felt a little embarrassed, "I would like to thank you for your kindness... It's just that I haven't worked yet and can't eat."
Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that he seemed familiar.
Ah, isn't it the same version of myself that just came here? Even though he has no other way out, he still wants to retain his dignity as a human being. A sensitive place in his heart was suddenly touched, and he suddenly wanted to help this young man. Perhaps, his life would be completely different.
Different. Just like Taehyung Asahina helped him at that time.
"How can you work if you don't have enough to eat? Please help me deliver the accounts later," Yu Qiuping teased, "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Chibei was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yu Qiuping, and then at the bowl of millet porridge. His left eye suddenly became moist.
"Sir, you are such a good man." He carefully swallowed a mouthful of food. "To be honest, I haven't eaten for three days. People around me saw that my eyes were broken and they refused to let me stand at the door.
I must chase the villain away, because I think I will bring bad luck."
"I don't believe that," Yu Qiuping explained with a smile, "Speaking of which, what's wrong with your eyes?"
"I don't know, either," he answered honestly. "My eyes suddenly broke when I was a child, and I have been in pain ever since. My parents died early, and my uncles at home thought my eyes looked terrible.
If it brings bad luck, I will drive the villain out."
"The villain has been wandering for almost ten years. He wandered from Mino to Suruga." As he spoke, tears began to well up in his eyes. "In the past, kindhearted people would only give me some leftovers, sir."
He is also the first person who agrees to work for a villain and does not dislike the villain's eyes."
"Don't worry, I won't dislike it." Yu Qiuping comforted her gently.
"I would like to ask, can I see your eyes?" Yu Qiuping asked, "Is it possible that you have some disease?"
"I'm afraid of scaring the adults, so let's forget it." Senbei replied honestly.
"I'm not afraid. Please show me quickly. It's a disease that needs to be cured." Yu Qiuping urged anxiously. Charlie on the side also nodded.
Chibei hesitated for a moment and took off his white cloth. He saw that his entire eye and even the eyelids were covered in severe ulcers that were almost rotten. There was a pungent smell.
"Can you still see?" Yu Qiuping asked in a solemn voice.
"I can't see you for a long time." Chibei replied while carefully observing Yu Qiuping's actions.
"Don't worry, I don't think there's anything scary about you, and I won't drive you away." Yu Qiuping's unintentional words of relief made the young man burst into tears.
"Okay, don't cry." Yu Qiuping patted him on the shoulder. "Listen to me now. Your illness is very serious. It's your fate that you haven't died for so long. I will take you to see a doctor now."
.”
"Sir?" Chibei was surprised, "But I have no money."
"Let me help you cushion it first," Yu Qiuping said, taking the family's remaining savings of about a hundred cash. "You can pay me back later. Treatment is the most important thing."
"Sir...Sir..." Jianbingwei sobbed softly, suddenly pushed away the stool, knelt down, and kowtowed twice to Yu Qiuping.
"This is my first time to kowtow, my lord. Don't be offended by my lack of etiquette." He suppressed his tears, but the sobs still came out as soon as he opened his mouth. "My lord, you are so kind and kind. I will never forget this."
.It’s just that villains really look down on doctors…”
"Stop talking, let's go," Yu Qiuping wanted to help Jingbingwei, but Jingbingwei refused to get up, so he had to ask, "What's your name?"
"Young man... I used to be from a samurai family, but I have been expelled from the family. You can just call me a kenbei."
"Okay, Chibei, my name is Yu Qiuping. Listen to me now," Yu Qiuping said anxiously, "Your eye disease is very likely to endanger your brain, and then you will be dead. To be honest, I
I feel that if this disease is delayed for a day or two, something will happen. I don’t know why you have been fine for ten years. But you have to know that this disease may kill you at any time, so I will take you to see a doctor now.
immediately!"
After that, Yu Qiuping winked at Charlie, and the two of them helped Chibei up, and walked quickly to the medical clinic in the city. However, the doctor in the hospital saw Chibei's glasses.
Later, he looked troubled.
"The villain is incompetent and makes the adults laugh." The doctor sighed, "The whole eye is broken, I'm afraid I have to cut it off. It's just that the villain doesn't have this ability."
"Is this illness important?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"If I hadn't seen this little brother live for such a long time, I would have thought that he would not survive this disease for more than a month," the doctor said seriously, "it's better not to delay."
"Then where can I help him cut off his eyes?" Yu Qiuping asked again.
"I think the one with the most superb medical skills in Suruga is Dr. Tsushima from the castle town in the north," he said. "If Dr. Tsushima can't do anything, probably no one can."
"Then let's go now. Thank you very much." Yu Qiuping turned around and was about to leave, but the doctor hurriedly added, "But you adults, you'd better bring enough money!" He said, "That Dr. Tsushima has a weird habit and charges extremely high fees.
high."
"Thanks."
As soon as Yu Qiuping and his group walked out of the hospital, the guards grabbed Yu Qiuping and Charlie.
"I appreciate the kindness of the two adults," he said with some difficulty. "I have been content with ten years of life, and I don't dare to bother Master Yuqiu to spend so much..."
"No, this is not a matter of money," Yu Qiuping growled angrily, "This is your life! No amount of money can buy a life! Now that you are born, you must live well!"
Chibei's Adam's apple squirmed, and even his rotten right eye moved slightly.
To... live well.
He looked at the hand that was holding him forward, tears constantly overflowing from his eyes.
This world is so cruel, but also so beautiful. Chibei's ruined eyes have not seen the light for ten years. At this moment, it is hot, as if there are sparks jumping. It is an indescribable touch.
