The man kicked and cursed at the same time, and Liu Xu and others frowned as they watched.

Seeing that the boy was dying, but the man didn't stop, Han Duoduo quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Okay, uncle, you have your wallet back, so let's be merciful."

The man stopped, gasped, and glared at the boy: "Hmph, you're lucky! If it weren't for this girl's pleading, I would have beaten you to death today." After that, he thanked Han Duoduo perfunctorily and turned away.

"Hey, I mean this guy..." He Lei was somewhat dissatisfied with the man's attitude.

But Liu Xu ignored them, ran to the boy and asked softly, "Little brother, are you okay?"

The boy was about eleven or twelve years old. Liu Xu discovered that although his clothes were worn out, there were no other stains except for the footprints left by the man and the mud on the ground.

Because he protected his head when he was beaten, the boy's face can be clearly seen at this moment.

His face was thin and his complexion was a little dark. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he was enduring pain; his long eyelashes were trembling slightly like butterfly wings, and his eyes were tightly closed, making people wonder what kind of expression was hidden in them. Under his high nose bridge, his lips were tightly pursed, bloodless. Although he was in a very embarrassed state at the moment, he had an inexplicable unyielding temperament, which made Liu Xu have the urge to find out.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and looked at the little girl who cared about him. There was shame and more bitterness in his eyes.

He shook his head slightly, then frowned and tried to get up, but the man seemed to be too heavy-handed and he failed after several attempts.

The young man's eyes looked in one direction, and he didn't make a sound when he was beaten, but now he shed tears, his eyes revealed deep sadness, and then he fainted.

Seeing this, Liu Xu hurriedly shouted, "Brother He Lei, come and help."

"Junior sister, he is a thief, how could you...?" Although Han Duoduo felt a little sorry for him being beaten so badly, she was still upset about his behavior of stealing.

"Senior sister, he doesn't seem like a bad person. Maybe he has his own reasons." Then, Liu Xu turned to Xu Ruolan and the others who were walking over and said, "Mom, can we help him?"

Xu Ruolan nodded slightly, and He Lei picked up the boy and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Send them to Anhe Hall first!" After saying that, Liu Xu turned to the adults and said, "Mom, take grandpa and the others back first. I'll come back when they wake up, okay?"

"Xu'er, don't be willful." Xu Ruolan frowned slightly. She agreed with her daughter to save people, but it was absolutely not allowed for her daughter to stay alone. The last incident had left a shadow in her heart.

Liu Xu also knew what her mother was worried about. She pulled Xu Ruolan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mom! Don't worry, I will follow Brother He Lei closely. When the little brother wakes up and finds out the situation, we will come back immediately. Okay, Mom."

Han Duoduo also took the opportunity to persuade her: "Aunt Xu, I will stay too! With me here, no one can bully Junior Sister!"

The main reason was that she felt a little guilty because it was she who kicked the boy down, causing him to be beaten so badly.

Xu Ruolan had already lost her temper due to her daughter's annoyance. Seeing Han Duoduo say this, she could only sigh helplessly: "Then the three of you should come back earlier and don't stay in the town any longer!"

Liu Xu smiled happily: "Thank you, mother. I knew you were the best." After that, she took Han Duoduo, He Lei and the young man and hurried to Anhetang.

Qiao Yun was kept by the young lady again. She looked down at her body and sighed.

Xu Yiru and his wife were a little worried. "Mingzhe, you and Huairen go and take a look. They are all children after all, be careful not to be deceived."

Xu Mingzhe nodded and chased after him.

Only then did everyone feel at ease and continue to walk back.

Anhetang was not far away. He Lei used his Qinggong skills, and Liu Xu was led by his senior sister, and the four of them arrived quickly.

There were not many people in the clinic. When the waiter saw He Lei holding someone in his arms, he quickly led the person to the inner room.

The old doctor came in soon. After taking the patient's pulse and examining him carefully, he frowned and said, "The patient is seriously injured. He has bruises all over his body and his internal organs have been shaken to a certain extent. In addition, he is depressed and has been hungry for a long time, which makes him extremely weak. If he is not carefully taken care of, his life may be in danger."

Liu Xu and others frowned when they heard this, "Doctor, when will he wake up?"

The old doctor stroked his graying beard and said, "He will wake up soon, but waking up doesn't mean he's fine."

When Xu Mingzhe came in and heard this, he frowned slightly and couldn't help but blame the man who had attacked him earlier.

"Please help me prescribe some medicine first, doctor. We saved this child on the road. We can only do anything else after he wakes up." Xu Mingzhe took over the conversation.

"Uncle, Uncle Huairen, why are you here? Where are my mother and grandfather?" The three of them turned around after hearing this, and Liu Xu asked in surprise.

"They went back first. Your grandpa was worried about you three kids, so he asked us to come over to check on you." Xu Mingzhe walked up to his niece, touched her head, and said softly.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so nosy, he wouldn't have been beaten like this." Han Duoduo felt a little guilty.

Liu Xu hurriedly comforted her, "How can we blame you? Senior Sister was just doing justice. We never thought that uncle would be so cruel."

"People like that deserve to be robbed!" He Lei said angrily.

Liu Xu's mouth twitched, "You can't say that! It's wrong for the little brother to steal things. I just don't know what his reasons are. I saw him crying just now."

Several people were chattering non-stop. Xu Mingzhe walked forward to take a look. After a moment, his pupils shrank slightly.

The boy had delicate features, and even his ragged clothes could not conceal his noble aura. The skin under his neck seemed different from that on his face, as if his face was deliberately blackened.

Xu Mingzhe wanted to see more clearly, but before his hand got close, the boy opened his eyes. His look was not confused like that of an ordinary person, but rather alert like that of a wolf cub.

Seeing Xu Mingzhe, he frowned slightly, "Who are you? Where am I?"

Xu Mingzhe silently withdrew his hand and was thinking about how to answer when he was pushed away by Liu Xu.

"Little brother, you're awake! We saved you! My name is Liu Xu, and this is my uncle. We brought you to the clinic."

"What's your name? The old man said you have bruises all over your body and you often don't have enough to eat. You need to take good care of yourself!"

The boy sat up with some difficulty, and He Lei stepped forward to help him.

"Thank you all, Miss Liu, for your kindness. I will repay you one day. But there is an elder in my family who is still bedridden, and I have to go back to take care of him." As he said this, he wanted to get out of bed.

He Lei quickly pulled the person back and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Who can you take care of in this state?"
