Chunxi: "People will see them, and then they will be looked down upon." Even if they behave like gentlemen, they are still a group of beggars in the eyes of others.

Fu Bao said indifferently: "What they think is none of my business, so don't take it to heart!"

Chunxi stopped her anxiously: "Not only that, but you might also be targeted by others. Anyway, let's go later when there are fewer people."

Fu Bao was even more confused: "Is there anyone watching us?" What are the identities of these people? They have fallen to such a state, yet they are still being followed by people.

Chunxi didn't want to say more, and Fubao wandered around the dilapidated temple with full of suspicion.

Fubao looked at Yian who was sitting on the steps, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, and slowly approached: "Baoxiang!"

Yi An was frightened: "Yi Shu, you scared me to death!" The children quickly became familiar with each other.

Fubao sat next to him: "Why don't you go climb trees with them?" There were two bird nests on the big tree behind the temple. Several people went there to take bird eggs after breakfast early in the morning. Only Yi An sat here quietly.

Yi An smiled and said, "I don't like climbing trees. I'm afraid of heights."

Fubao nodded, and then remembered that Chunxi always said that he was weak, but she had not noticed anything unusual until now.

Fubao: "Yi'an, is there something wrong with your body? Brother Chunxi always says that you are weak..."

Yi An's face froze, and he lowered his head sullenly: "I... I'm fine."

Fu Bao: "I don't have any other intentions. I just learned medicine from my master for a few days and wanted to see if I could help."

Yi An raised his head, looked at her with bright eyes and asked, "Really?"

Fubao nodded, and Yian quickly said, "My waist hurts when I walk too much... It hurts a lot."

It was such a simple sentence, but Fubao seemed to suddenly see how he had tossed and turned and endured countless nights, and he felt a little bit sorry for him.

Fubao: "Can you let me see it?"

Yi An suddenly blushed: "That's not good, men and women should still be separated..."

Fubao looked at him curiously: "Have you ever been to school?"

Yi An's face changed and he quickly denied it: "No, no, how could it be possible? I don't even have money for medical treatment, let alone studying."

Fubao: "Oh...but I have to take a look to know if it can be cured."

Yi An pursed his lips and whispered, "Wait a moment." After that, he tried to quicken his pace and walked towards Li Shuangrong and the others' house.

After a while, Li Shuangrong came over with him. Under the gaze of Fubao's father, Yi An quickly undressed and exposed his waist and back: "Look."

Fu Bao found it somewhat amusing, but was soon shocked speechless by the scars on his back. The scars were scattered and lay hideously on his waist. They were not caused by a sharp blade or burns, but rather by being beaten with a board and then healed.

Li Shuangrong also saw it, and he was no less surprised than Fubao. Looking at Yi An, who was not much older than Yi Sheng, he angrily said, "Who did this?"

Yi An was so scared that he shrank his neck and whispered, "It's okay, it's healed, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Fubao: "I'm afraid that I didn't pay attention to rest before, and I have developed a root of illness. I need to take good care of it."

Yi An's eyes dimmed: "Rest quietly, forget it, it's not painful if you don't want treatment." They are now starving and fortunately have a dilapidated temple to stay. In such a situation, what else could they ask for?

Fu Bao comforted him: "It's okay, I'm here, I will definitely heal your injury."

These words said with such confidence ignited hope in Yi An. He was only ten years old and was afraid of pain. He didn't want to drag down his brothers who loved him sincerely.

Fubao: "But you have to tell me, who are you? And how did you get this injury?" She was doubtful. Although she had decided to help him heal his injury, she didn't want to get into trouble without knowing it.

Yi An slowly lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Wait for me to ask my brother, and then I will tell you."

Fu Bao did not force it: "Relax, I won't do anything to you."

Yi An looked at the sky and said to her, "Don't you want to go out for a walk? There are the least people at the door at this time, so go ahead."

Fubao nodded and followed Li Shuangrong and Zhao Xiuer to the street. As soon as he arrived at the market, he bumped into a pillar after walking a few steps. He came out of an inn sweating profusely, looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.

Fubao hurriedly shouted at him: "Brother Zhuzi!"

Zhuzi was startled when he heard the voice, and immediately turned around. When he saw them, he breathed a sigh of relief and trotted over: "Where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere."

Fubao smiled and said, "Someone took him in."

Zhuzi: "I saw that your house was uninhabitable and my house was too small, so I went out to find a place to stay nearby. But when I came back, you were not home."

Li Shuangrong and Zhao Xiuer were very touched. They didn't expect that he was still thinking about them. They said, "We have found a place to stay. We thought everyone was asleep, so we didn't tell you."

Zhuzi nodded: "Where do you live? When will you come back?"

Fu Bao: "In the dilapidated temple over there. I'll find someone to repair the house in a few days. The inside wasn't burned, but it was soaked by water. We can just change some furniture and continue to live there."

Zhuzi's eyes widened: "What? You guys live with those guys? A haunted temple!"

Fubao: "Do you know them?"

Zhuzi said quickly, "No, no, no, where can anyone live? Just follow me. Who doesn't know those guys?"

Fu Bao pursed his lips: "They saved my family."

Zhuzi sighed: "Those guys are not bad people, so let's just live together."

Fubao immediately found a teahouse and asked Zhuzi to sit down with him: "Brother Zhuzi, can you tell me where they came from?"

Zhuzi took a gulp of tea and said, "I don't know the exact number, but I heard that they are all sons of criminals."

Fubao was slightly surprised, and Zhuzi continued, "Have you not seen these young boys, who have hands and feet, but can't find a place to work?"

Fubao nodded: "Why is that?"

Zhuzi: "The superiors ordered them to beg on the street. Tell me, with their status, who would dare to help them?"

Fubao never thought that it would be like this. She wanted to go back and ask Chunxi about it, so she changed the subject: "Brother Zhuzi, can you take me and my father to the pier? You know, it will cost a lot of money to turn the house into this."

Zhuzi thought for a moment and said with embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to take you, but you have to sign a contract first. Once you decide, you have to work hard. There is no such thing as going to take a look first."

Li Shuangrong nodded immediately: "I will go to Changgan and sign the contract."

Fubao: "Dad!"

Li Shuangrong whispered to her, "I'll go check it out first. At worst, we can just go somewhere else."

Fubao pondered for a moment and agreed.
