Li Shitou ran out of the house and stood on the busy street.

Looking at the bustling crowds on the street.

All kinds of things in the world are presented before your eyes.

Most people look similar to Li Shitou, wearing tattered clothes and busying around on the streets, just trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

However, some people seem to be not affected by this world at all. They still wear silk and satin clothes and wander the streets with their servants.

He just stood there, looking at every rich kid who passed by.

After a while, he found a candidate.

He was a young man wearing dark blue clothes, a jade crown on his head, and a slightly fat body.

The reason why he was chosen was because Li Shitou saw the bulging purse on his waist.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his mind flashed with his sister who was still waiting for him at home, and he no longer cared about propriety or morality.

Seeing that the young man was about to leave his sight, he immediately walked towards him quickly.

The moment his hand touched the purse, a smile appeared on his face, and all he thought in his heart was that his sister would not die.

But the next moment his hand was grabbed.

"Hey, little bastard, I finally caught you."

He pulled his hand away but couldn't pull it out.

He raised his head and saw a ferocious-looking face.

Li Shitou pursed his dry and chapped lips, feeling a surge of fear in his heart, but his hand holding the purse did not relax at all.

"Finally I caught you! You stole my money last time, and now you dare to come again! You're so audacious! You're asking for a beating!"

The last time he returned home, he found that his silver had been stolen. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he came up with this method to lure the thief into the trap.

Li Shitou tightly grasped his purse and shook his head desperately, "No...it's not me."

"Not you?"

The young man looked at this beggar-like man with an impatient look on his face.

He turned to look at the servant beside him and shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you give it back to me!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The servant was obviously much stronger than Li Shitou. Seeing that Li Shitou refused to let go, he picked him up and threw him to the ground, then started beating him up.

The pain came like a tide, and Li Shitou couldn't help but curl up into a ball.

In the end, he was completely exhausted and his purse was taken away by the servant.

"Sir, I've got it back for you."

The young man looked at the purse that had become somewhat dirty, frowning with disgust on his face, "What bad luck! Here's a reward for you."

"Oh, yes, I thank you, sir."

When the two men left, the servant did not forget to look at Li Shitou, who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and kicked him hard again.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shitou finally regained some strength and slowly opened his eyes.

During this period, no one who passed by came forward to help him, as they were all afraid of getting into trouble.

After all, the person he offended was the son of a wealthy family.

Li Shitou lay on the ground like this for a while. Thinking of his sister who was still at home, he endured the pain and got up from the ground.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his nose, used all the money he had left to buy buns, and then slowly walked back carrying the buns.

Let these brothers and sisters have a full meal before they die.

A cold wind whistled past, and he couldn't help but shiver and rubbed his arms with goose bumps.

He sniffed and continued to limp.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the front.

At the moment the carriage passed by him, a corner of the carriage curtain was slightly lifted, revealing half of the face of the woman inside.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he made a decision in an instant.

We're going to die anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Let's just give it one more try.

At this time, Yun Zhi was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest. At this moment, the moving carriage suddenly stopped.

Her body shook slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

Chen Yuanshu, who was sitting opposite her, saw her wake up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

"Ah."

Chen Yuanshu gently lifted the curtain and looked at Zhou Yifeng who was sitting in front of her. "Mr. Zhou, what's going on?"

"He's blocking the road."

Following Zhou Yifeng's gaze, I saw a skinny little boy kneeling there.

The clothes were covered in dust and stained with blood.

Seeing someone coming out, Li Shitou, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed several times towards the carriage.

For a moment, blood mixed with dirt dripped from his forehead.

"Please, my dear, please save my sister. My sister and I are willing to work like slaves to repay you."

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuanshu was at a loss as to what to do. She turned to look at the people in the car, "Miss?"

"Ask."

Chen Yuanshu nodded and looked at the little boy, "What happened to your sister?"

"My sister is sick with tuberculosis. The doctor said it would cost two taels of silver to cure her. I beg you to have mercy on me and save my sister."

Yun Zhi didn't want to spend too much time on this matter. After all, a few taels of silver was nothing to her.

"Yuan Shu, give him three taels of silver."

"Yes."

Chen Yuanshu took out three taels of silver from his purse and looked at the little boy who was still kneeling on the ground. "Little boy, come here."

Li Shitou didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events. He stood up excitedly and walked quickly to the carriage.

He held the silver carefully in both hands.

Looking at the silver in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Chen Yuanshu, "Thank you."

Then he turned his head and looked inside the carriage.

At this moment, the curtain had been lowered, and he could not see the people inside.

"Sir, when my sister is well again, we will definitely come to repay you. Please let us know where you live."

"Yun Mansion, Qingyun County."

When Yun Zhi mentioned this place name, she didn't expect them to be able to find it.

After all, she changed the place name later, so it is very difficult to find it.

Anyway, it was just someone I rescued casually, and maybe in a few days I will forget this memory and put it in an inconspicuous corner.

Li Shitou repeated the place name several times, "My dear, I've remembered it. I, Li Shitou, and my sister, Li Erniu, will definitely come to see you."

Yun Zhi ignored his words and said to Zhou Yifeng in front of her, "Let's go."

Watching the carriage slowly start to move, Li Shitou held the silver tightly in his hand and ran home in a roundabout way under the watchful eyes of others.

Looking at my sister lying on the bed, yawning, opening and closing her eyes, trying hard not to fall asleep.

Li Shitou walked up to her and put the buns he bought in her hands. "Sister, let's go get treatment."

"Don't we have no money?"

He spread out the three pieces of silver in his hand and said, "We are rich now. A noble man gave it to us."

As he said this, he carried his sister on his back and walked towards Doctor Zhao again.

On the road.

Li Erniu took out some buns and fed them to him.

Li Shitou finished one and stopped eating. "You eat the rest. I'm full."

But she still stubbornly raised her hand holding the bun and said, "Brother, eat it."

"Okay, brother, eat."

"Sister, do you remember what Dad and Mom taught us? If someone does us a favor, what should we do?"

"Gratitude."

"Yes, after my sister recovers from her illness, we will go find the noble man, okay?"

"it is good."

……

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of the twelfth lunar month and the New Year is approaching.

The pace of occupying territory has been accelerated during this period, and now most of Yanmen County has fallen into Yun Zhi's hands.

As many as 30,000 soldiers have been recruited.

As for Pingyang County, half a month after the incident that day, Prince Gong gathered forces from the other two parties and attacked Pingyang County.

The fighting there is in full swing now.

Qingyun County, however, welcomed its first year-end banquet.
