Chapter 72 Save the Little Beggars
"What's wrong with you? Are you scared? Are you more courageous than me? Why are you so timid? Weren't you very brave and fearless in Juxing Tower?"
Shangguan Yue blinked her big eyes and looked at the three children, then said to the oldest one.
"Who said we are afraid? We are just afraid of your guard. He is so good at killing people." said the eldest child. The other two did not dare to say a word.
"You are afraid of someone who is good at killing bad guys? Shouldn't you admire him and want to be like him so that he won't be bullied by bad guys?"
After saying this, Shangguan Yue noticed that the three children clearly had different looks in their eyes.
This shows that boys all admire people with good martial arts skills.
"Didn't you say your sister was ill? Aren't you in a hurry to go back and get a doctor for her?"
"We have no money. Can you lend us some? We can do anything with it." The three children looked at Shangguan Yue eagerly.
“I can help you, and I can also find a doctor to treat your sister, so how are you going to repay me?
There is no good without reason in this world, nor is there hatred without reason. Do you want others to give you mercy, or do you want to work hard on your own to earn a future that belongs to you? "
Shangguan Yue looked at the three children. If they were timid and hesitant, she would give them money, but that was all.
If they are willing to create their future through their own efforts, and are passionate and motivated, they can become the assistants she wants to train.
"We are willing to follow you, young lady, no matter how hard it is, as long as we can keep our brothers and sisters alive."
Although the three little boys were dirty, the confidence on their faces and the determination in their eyes made Shangguan Yue admire them very much. She believed that only those who refuse to accept their fate and work hard to make progress will have the opportunity to realize their dreams.
"Okay, where is your sister? You three can introduce yourselves."
"My name is Datou Chong and I'm eleven years old," said the oldest boy.
"My name is Erbai, and I'm eight years old." said the shorter one.
"My name is Shan Guang and I'm seven years old," said the youngest boy.
"Ah? You're broke? Ka... All right, let's get on the carriage and go see your sister."
Shangguan Yue smiled and wondered how these three children could get together by such a coincidence.
He took the three little beggars on a carriage and drove about twenty miles out of the city until he arrived at the home they had mentioned.
Their home is a half-collapsed house hidden on the side of a mountain where the weeds are taller than a person.
There were ruins everywhere. When Shangguan Yue got off the carriage, the people in the house heard the sound of the carriage, poked their heads out from the broken walls to take a look, and then retreated cautiously.
The three little beggars got off the car and hurriedly took Shangguan Yue and the others into the dilapidated house.
After entering the house, Shangguan Yue found that it was not a house at all. There were broken things everywhere, including broken bowls and pots that were picked up.
There was more than ten meters of dry grass on the ground, and on the grass were gray and black rags of various sizes.
About ten or eight children were sitting on the rags, with a curled-up little child lying in the middle. Almost every child had messy hair.
Shangguan Yue couldn't tell whether they were boys or girls. Some children were crying, while others were feeding water to a child who was curled up in a ball.
Datou Chong, Erbai and Shanguang got off the carriage and ran into the shabby house. The surrounding children made way for them.
Shangguan Yue followed and squatted down to look at the curled up child. This should be the sister they were talking about.
I reached out and touched the little girl's forehead, and it was indeed very hot. Normally, a person with a fever would have a red face, but the little girl's face was pale and she was sweating profusely.
Curling up may cause pain and discomfort, so don't delay.
It takes too long to get a doctor, and I didn't see any clinic on the way here. If I had known, I would have hired one in the city and brought him here.
"Shangnan, quickly carry the child onto the carriage and go to the clinic! Datou Chong, Erbai Shanguang, and the other three follow." Shangguan Yue ordered.
When Shangguan Yue said to carry the little girl into the carriage, several children in the room subconsciously stopped her, thinking that Shangguan Yue was going to do something bad to the little girl.
When they knew they were going to be sent to the clinic and that Datou Chong was asked to take the three of them together, the other children felt relieved.
After arriving at the city's medical clinic, the doctor examined the little girl and found that her fever was caused by internal injuries.
The little girl's name was Xiaozhu. The reason she had a fever was that she was kicked while begging a few days ago. Xiaozhu didn't dare to tell anyone when she came back.
A few days later, his injury worsened and he developed a fever, which was already very serious. The doctor immediately wrote out a prescription and ordered a medicine to be boiled.
He also advised him to have a good rest, treat his internal injuries and recuperate after his fever subsided.
When the three children heard from the doctor that their condition was very serious and that they would need treatment for internal injuries and rest and recuperation, they started crying out of worry.
The subsequent treatment of internal injuries and recuperation were not suitable in a place outside the city that might collapse in a heavy rain, but Shangguan Yue couldn't think of any other place to accommodate them.
"Miss, can you let them live somewhere else? I am willing to use my monthly salary to rent a place for them."
Shangnan looked at Xiaozhu and recalled his previous life of wandering, when he was also like this, homeless and bullied.
During these years of wandering, he practiced martial arts desperately to avoid being bullied by others.
He sold himself just to find a good family so that he could have the opportunity to get close to his enemies and have a chance to take revenge. As a beggar, he could never get close to those who were high and mighty.
"Ah! I remember now, the house Zhang Shurou bought outside the city.
That house can easily accommodate thirty or forty people. Are you three willing to go?
That way, Xiaozhu can live there and have a place to recuperate, and you can also take care of her.
You can also tell your brothers and sisters in the broken house that I will provide you with food and shelter, and hire a teacher to teach you how to read, write, practice martial arts, dance, etc.
Of course, after you learn, you will help me with work. After you have worked for me for ten years, you can decide whether to stay or leave, and you will receive the monthly salary and rewards you deserve. "
Shangguan Yue said slowly.
Xiaozhu was still groggy and couldn't answer. Datouchong, Erbai, Shanguang and the other two knelt down without thinking.
"Miss, thank you very much for sending Xiaozhu to the clinic and paying the medical expenses. You also provided food and accommodation, and taught us to read, write, and practice martial arts. We will definitely study hard and stay with you forever."
"Good job! Shangnan, find another carriage and take all the children from the shabby house to the house outside the city."
Shangguan Yue patted the three of them on the head happily.
Shangnan went to find a carriage very happily.
About half an hour after Xiaozhu took the medicine, she became much more sober. She knew it was Shangguan Yue who saved her. She was so excited that she couldn't speak and just kept crying.
It turns out that Xiaozhu is not the biological sister of Datou Chong and the other two, but they were all children who begged together.
But they shared weal and woe and were as close as brothers and sisters. They were all orphans, or abandoned by their parents who could not afford to raise them, or escaped because their families wanted to sell them...
