How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

As soon as Xia Tian came back, Guan Xu came up to him mysteriously and said, "Brother, brother, I found a treasure!"

"What treasure?" Xia Tian looked at him with amusement.

Guan Xu opened his palm, revealing a golden bead the size of a soybean. "Gold!"

Xia Tian was surprised and took it to look at it. "Is it really gold?"

"Let me see!" Xia Chu took the gold and pinched it hard with her fingernail, leaving a nail mark. Gold and silver are soft, and this was the only way she knew to distinguish them. She had heard that burning them could also be used.

"Is it true?" Guan Xu squeezed his little head over.

"It should be, right?" Xia Chu was not sure either. The color and texture looked similar.

"Are there any more? Where did you pick them up?" Xia Tian asked.

Guan Xu raised his head and said, "Over in the flower garden, I saw it in the cracks between the bricks when I was weeding. But there was only this one."

Xia Tian turned the beads over and over and looked at them. "I'll look for them again. If they are real, I'll be rich."

Even Zhang Zhou got up. The four of them squatted beside the flowerbed, searching inch by inch along the bluestone tiles. They actually found two more. Guan Xu practically dug them out of the mud. His eyesight was unmatched by anyone else.

The bead had a hole in the middle, most likely from a broken chain that had fallen off. Regardless, it was still a sum of money, and Xia Chu happily stuffed it into her patchwork purse.

After a period of recuperation with plenty of food and drink, the children's faces grew some flesh, and Zhang Zhou's injuries were almost healed.

Xia Chu felt that her life was quite comfortable, but she didn't expect that an accident would happen like this.

That day they were sitting around the table eating the wontons Xia Chu had bought. The evening glow shone on the table, like a golden tablecloth.

"This is delicious, but there is too little meat." Guan Xu took two mouthfuls and grimaced from the heat.

Suddenly, a young man's voice came from the back, "Hey, who are you?"

Xia Chu turned around in surprise and saw a boy about ten years old squatting on the courtyard wall. He was looking down at them from above, his eyes full of curiosity, but his expression was a little arrogant.

"Brother?" Guan Xu glanced at the young man and then looked at his elder brother.

"Who are you?" Xia Tian asked back.

"I live next door. I've seen you guys several times. Who allowed you to live here?" The young man raised his chin. "Is this your home?"

Fortunately, it's just a child, but I'm afraid this place is no longer suitable for living. Xia Chu bit her lip and calculated how much money she had saved.

"None of your business." Xia Tian rolled his eyes.

Seeing that their elder brother was not nervous at all, Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu ate a few more wontons.

The boy thought of the little face of the dwarf who had just come down and turned around, "Hey, you, come play with me, or I will report you."

Xia Tian's heart tightened, and his eyes were filled with anger when he looked at the boy.

Xia Chu looked over blankly. Are you talking about me?

The boy didn't even look at him, staring at Xia Chu, "What are you looking at? The smallest one, come over and play with me."

"Get out." Xia Tian stood up, his voice low and angry.

How old are you and still need someone to play with you? Are you the emperor? Xia Chu rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned her head to continue eating wontons.

"I'm talking to you!" The young man threw the thing in his hand over.

Xia Chu had just scooped up a wonton when she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head. She gasped and reached out to touch the painful spot, her hand sticky with a sticky substance. She brought it to her eyes and saw blood.

Xia Tian took two steps forward to block his sister. Seeing the blood on her hand, he was shocked and angry, "Xiao Liu! It's bleeding!"

"Ah! Xiaoliu! Does it hurt?" Zhang Zhou suddenly stood up and grabbed her hand.

Xia Tian held her shoulder and examined the wound. Blood had already flowed down her hair to her neck and into her clothes. He picked up his sister and said, "Xiao Liu, let's go! Let's go see a doctor!"

"Hurry!" Zhang Zhou covered her head and walked towards the dog hole.

"You bastard! You hit my brother!" Guan Xu jumped up, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over, but unfortunately it didn't even reach the courtyard wall.

"I, I didn't mean it. Who knows him? He is so fragile. It's none of my business!" The young man turned his head and jumped off the courtyard wall. A scream of pain came from outside the wall. I don't know if he fell.

"Xiaowu! Come and push the stone!" Xia Tian and Zhang Zhou failed to push the stone, so they hurriedly called Xiaowu.

Guan Xu responded, and the three of them worked together to push the stone away.

A wave of pain surged from the wound on the back of her head. Xia Chu bit her lips, but tears still flowed down her face.

The three children struggled to push the stone away, but the young man had disappeared.

The two brothers pushed their sister through the dog hole. Xia Tian carried her on his back and was about to leave when Zhang Zhou grabbed him and said, "Brother, push her back."

By the time they hurried to the clinic, it was already dark.

Xia Chu was in so much pain that he felt dizzy. He lay on Xia Tian's body and felt like vomiting. He kept feeling like falling down, as if he was in the void and couldn't find any solid ground.

"What's wrong?" Sun Wusi could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xia Chu. Just as he grabbed her arm and tried to help her down, she fell limply to the side.

"Xiao Liu!" Xia Tian turned around and screamed, tears immediately welling up in his eyes, "Xiao Liu is dead!"

"Xiao Liu!" Zhang Zhou panicked and stretched out his arms to support the person.

"Xiao Liu is dead!" Guan Xu burst into tears.

Sun Wusi was given a headache by the noise and picked up the child. "He's not dead, not dead. There's so much blood on his neck. Is his head injured?"

"It was hit by someone." Xia Tian wiped away his tears.

"This is what smashed it." Guan Xu's face was covered with tears and snot, and he held a bloody pearl in his hand, the size of a longan. No one knew when he picked it up.

"This..." Sun Wusi took a look. It was a pearl with a sharp point, bloody and hard to see. He carried the man to the inner room, laid him down, and pulled aside his hair to see the wound on the back of his head. The blood had matted the hair together. He casually picked up a pair of scissors and cut away the hair at the injured area, revealing the blood-crusted wound.

He turned back to the three anxious faces and said, "Go out and wait. Don't get in the way here."

Xia Tian reluctantly pulled his two younger brothers out. Lady Liu brought over a few cups of tea and said, "Drink some water. It's curfew now. Let's stay here for the night."

"Thank you, Madam Sun." Xia Tian took the water and said angrily, "A kid I don't know, Xia Chu threw things at him because he didn't want to play with him."

"This is what was smashed. What is this thing?" Guan Xu took out the thing again.

"Hey, it's a pearl, such a big one!" Liu Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, rubbing it with her fingers and turning it in a circle. "To use such a big pearl to hit someone, the child must be from an ordinary family. I'm afraid you won't get any justice. Why don't you sell the pearl? You can get some money to live a good life."

Guan Xu's eyes widened. "Is this bead valuable? Can it buy a house?"

Liu Zhenzhen didn't quite understand the market for this. After washing it, she found a piece of gold caulk stuck to it. It must have been the sharp corner of the caulk that had pierced the head. "I don't know the market price of this. This is the first time I've seen one this big. The caulk is gold."

Xia Tian casually said, "Leave it for now and wait until Xiao Liu wakes up."

"Zhenniang, bring a basin of hot water." Doctor Sun shouted from inside the room.

"I'm coming." Liu Zhenzhen responded and went to the kitchen to get some hot water and brought it over.

Sun Wusi cleaned the wound. There was a hole in her head, but thankfully no bone was damaged. He applied medicine and bandaged it with gauze. "Zhenniang, bring another basin of water."

Liu Zhenzhen sighed and poured some water.

Sun Wusi ordered, "This is a girl. Wipe the blood off her body. It's curfew now. Keep them here for one night."

Liu Zhenzhen smiled and replied, "I know. I've told them."

"Thank you for your help, madam." Sun Wusi wiped his hands and went out.

Three children squatted at the door, like three mushrooms appearing out of thin air.

"You all can squeeze into this room for a while and go back tomorrow morning." Sun Wusi opened the door of the next room and pulled Zhang Zhou over to check on him. "Your injury has completely healed. Be careful in the future."

"I understand. Thank you, Doctor Sun." Zhang Zhou bowed and saluted.
