Quick Wear: True and False Life

"Yes, you can ask for it as long as I can do it." Wei Nan added a prerequisite and said very firmly.

"Can you get a doctor for grandpa?" the little beggar thought for a moment and asked bravely, holding the bowl tightly in his hands until his fingertips turned white.

"That's me. Do you want me to take a look at this old man?"

"Yes, I want it." When the little beggar heard that she could treat illnesses, he agreed regardless of whether it was true or not, for fear that he would miss it if he was slow.

"You two can go over there with the sister behind me and eat something first. Can I see this grandpa?" Wei Nan said carefully.

The little beggar looked at the place Wei Nan pointed to. It was the other side of the dilapidated house. The view was wide and he could see what was happening on his grandfather's side. So he looked at her and nodded.

"Chun'er, take them over there and give them some food."

"Yes, ma'am." After saying that, Chun'er led the four children aside.

"Let me feel the old man's pulse!" Wei Nan examined him carefully and found that he was just hungry and severely malnourished. A cold almost cost him his life.

"What do you think of that boy Gang?" the old beggar asked in a low voice while taking her pulse.

"I thought my destined person was here, so I came to see him." Wei Nan withdrew his hand from taking the old beggar's pulse, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, poured a pill for the old beggar to take.

"This child was deliberately dropped here. He has good character. I wonder why you took him in?" The old beggar also heard the uncertainty in the lady's tone, so he tried to speak up for the child. He had met many people, and based on the way she spoke to the child just now, he could guess that she was not a strict person, and as long as the child did not make any mistakes, there would be no problem.

"Let's see if she has talent first!" Wei Nan said after a moment of hesitation. She wanted the child to meet Zhou Jinghao first and see how they got along before deciding where to go.

The old beggar understands that people are chosen based on their appearance, qualifications, and abilities... In short, if there is nothing outstanding about them, no one would be willing to use them.

Later, we talked about some beggars living in this broken house. Some of them grew up and were able to find a job to support themselves and left; some died before they grew up due to various accidents; and some of them took the initiative to follow others to get enough food. These people were all physically fit, good-looking, and smart, but they were afraid that they would be in danger. How many of them, such as secret guards and prostitutes, survived? Those who stayed were the old, weak, sick, and disabled, who had no hands-on ability and could only live by begging.

There are eleven people still living in the dilapidated house, including the five of them. The other six have all gone out to beg for food, the oldest of whom is eleven years old and the youngest is six. There are four children in the house now, and the one who brings water is four years old at most. He picked up someone else's child abandoned in the dilapidated house and raised him.

These children still had some conscience. When they had food, they would save some for each other. Thanks to this food, few people in this shabby house starved to death.

"How is your health now?" Wei Nan asked the old beggar when he calculated that the time was almost up.

"Much better. I'm not short of breath anymore! Your medicine is very effective." After hearing the lady's question, the old beggar felt that he was much better now.

"Of course the pills I made are good. If they're not good, wouldn't that be damaging my reputation?"

"Madam is right." The old beggar confirmed it.

"Are you always planning to do this?" Wei Nan looked at the old man's face carefully. Combining his words and deeds during the conversation, he could tell that he was once a man of great merit, but was sealed by someone, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of bad luck.

This is a special talent. She is very enthusiastic about him and must recruit him to work in her own shop.

"I have a disease in my legs and feet. Even if I were not sick, no one would be willing to hire me for a job. Otherwise, I could make plans for them. Now I can only give you some advice. It depends on fate whether you are willing to listen to it or not." The old beggar said as he looked outside the house with melancholy.

"If you are willing to go with me and that child, I can arrange for the other children to go to Ciyouan. With their own efforts, they can learn a skill there, and it will be easier for them to find a job in Ciyouan or the shop in the future. Even if they leave, they will be able to make a living." Wei Nan did his best for these two people.

"Why? It's okay for a child, but what use is there for a disabled person like me?" This is undoubtedly puzzling, not to mention that the old beggar was clear-headed.

"The child does look alike, but as for you! Of course it's because you have good luck. If you hadn't been troubled by the villain, it wouldn't be my turn to recruit you! After all, with your luck you would be able to achieve something successful. What a pity! If you don't try, your thatched cottage might turn into a mansion!" Wei Nan became more cheerful as he spoke, and finally joked.

The old beggar found it interesting, as he had been rich before, and said that he was not without money now, but as long as he could not convert it into cash, it would become a useless object. Because whether it was the treasure map or his private property hidden in the mountain stream, it would take manpower and material resources to uncover it!

Ever since the accident, his good luck seemed to have run out. Everything he did was half-hearted. For the things he had, those people not only broke his legs, but also monitored him in disguise for several years. Only last year, when they saw that he was completely disabled and nothing happened, they evacuated Suzhou Prefecture.

Hearing Wei Nan say that he was lucky, it confirmed his earlier guess that someone had done something to him, and it was someone closest to him.

"What can you see?" the old beggar asked excitedly, his fingertips trembling.

“You should have some guesses! Your luck is special and cannot be taken away, but it has been sealed by someone, and a bad luck spell has been placed on you.” Wei Nan would not deliberately conceal the truth if he intended to recruit you.

"I knew it... I knew it was my luck that was wrong." The old beggar kept muttering to himself until a quarter of an hour later, when he finally figured it out, and gradually calmed down.

"I'd like you to go."

In this way, Wei Nan took the old beggar and the child away, and asked Chun'er to arrange for the rest of the children to enter Ciyu'an, where they could learn skills they liked. As for the expenses, they could pay off their debts by working.

She temporarily arranged for him to live in the backyard of the medicine shop. After the old beggar was cured, she would take over the shop and the business of precious elixirs. She would let the child adapt to the environment, and then let Zhou Jinghao come to take a look at the situation and decide whether to make him an adopted son or an apprentice.

"San'er, why don't you go to Master Zhang's place this afternoon? How about I take you to see someone?" Wei Nan saw that Zhou Jinghao was at home and invited him to visit his pharmacy.

"Okay! That's exactly what I was thinking. Shall we go now?" Zhou Jinghao said very happily to be able to accompany Wei Nan out.

"Let's go!" Wei Nan said as he took Zhou Jinghao and the maids and servants to the pharmacy.

Business at the drugstore was pretty good. Wei Nan had to see patients, and the old beggar Fang Zhiyuan was still recuperating from his injuries, so Zhou Jinghao was left alone to go pick up medicinal herbs with the young beggar Shunzi.

One picked up the herbs, the other packed them up, and they cooperated very well. When they had time, they could even exchange some simple knowledge about medicinal herbs, and the conversation went quite smoothly.
