Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"You're just going to let her go like that?" The man looked at her with sinister eyes. "She's so nosy, I have to teach her a lesson."

"Of course not. It's just that you whipped me. Are you going to make up for the difference?" The woman reached out and grabbed the flesh on Sheng Changan's arm. "Come here."

When Sheng Changan was pinched like this, she took a breath. No one dared to pinch her before or now, but thinking of her own situation, she endured it.

"Didn't I teach you not to meddle in other people's business? You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to save others." As he said that, he pinched Sheng Changan again.

"Aren't you afraid that my people will come after you?" Sheng Changan suppressed his anger.

"Who do you think you are? Give me back your people." The woman poked Sheng Changan's shoulder hard. "Then tell me where you live?"

Sheng Changan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

As for the man, he lost interest after being suddenly interrupted and instructed the people next to him to take the person back.

The woman pinched it twice and barely let out a sigh, "Don't you want to wash your hands? Why don't you come over here?"

But she still felt unbalanced as she walked. This girl still had to go hungry for a few meals to avoid causing trouble for her.

This time Sheng Changan didn't say anything, but if the child hadn't received treatment in time, he would probably have died.

Thinking of the look in his eyes just now, at such an age, he didn't give in even after being whipped like this. In a sense, it met her recruitment requirements.

The woman led the man to the corner and said impatiently, "Okay, hurry up."

It’s such cold weather, and I still have to accompany this girl out to wash her hands. It’s really a torture.

Sheng Changan walked in silently. There was no sound here, and there was no way to determine the place. Moreover, the woman had taken a long detour to get here.

This increases the number of distraction options. Unless you want to attract attention, but using fire in such weather is not very practical.

"What are you dawdling for?" The woman frowned. If it wasn't useful, this disobedient person would still have to be beaten.

Sheng Changan looked up at the woman. It is said that one's appearance reflects his heart, but she was different. She was a little fat and had some wrinkles on her face. She looked like a kind-hearted woman.

It was only when she spoke, with her eyes glaring and her tone ferocious, that she looked like a complete villain.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave," the woman pushed Sheng Changan directly.

I didn't gain much from this trip. I can only say that I barely got a grasp of the situation nearby.

Secondly, there are people patrolling outside from time to time, so we can only wait until night to check.

The weather was too cold and there was only a thin blanket on the ground, so the three of them had to huddle together to keep warm.

"Eleven, do you know where those people over there were sold to?" As soon as Sheng Changan asked the question, he realized that it was not appropriate. How could such a young child know so much?

"I don't know." He also wanted to check, but those people always thought he was a child and didn't need to care about these things.

Xiaoyu shuddered, "Sister, I'm cold."

Sheng Changan touched her body and found it burning hot. She must have a fever. Under such conditions, a child could not last long.

The sky also gradually darkened.

Eleven stood up and said, "I'll go call them. Our price is not low, they won't ignore us."

"Wait, I'll go, you stay here." She was older than that, and she had something to protect her life. It was better for her to go than Eleven.

"Open the door!" Sheng Changan knocked on the door and shouted at the top of his voice.

After a while, someone came over and asked, "What are you yelling about? Can't you be quiet during New Year's Day?"

The person who came was the one who whipped the young man in the afternoon. He was still holding the whip in his hand. Sheng Changan seemed to smell the blood in his nose.

"Xiaoyu has a fever and needs to see a doctor," Sheng Changan said concisely.

His expression changed. He knew the identity of this girl and was planning to ask her father for some money and then sell her off. Nothing could go wrong at this time.

"Wait, I'll call someone over." These people were not under his responsibility, and he only took a small portion of the money, so naturally he wouldn't be so dedicated.

Sheng Changan squatted by the door, and the sound from afar slowly came over.

"I just said to take an extra quilt. Now the person is sick. If he dies, we will lose both the wife and the army," the woman said with some dissatisfaction.

"That sounds nice, but you don't want silver for extra quilts? Or should I take it from you?"

The woman instantly became quiet. It was definitely impossible to take money from her.

The other man who came was strong and muscular, but he looked calculating.

The woman placed her hand on Xiaoyu's forehead and said, "She does have a fever. It doesn't matter if she's a little bit stupid, but I'm afraid she's gone. What do you think we should do?"

The man frowned. He hadn't received the money yet, so he certainly couldn't let her die like this. "Then what do you say we should do?"

"Those new people who moved in next door should have some medicine for the cold. They've been boiling it these past few days, and it smells so bad. Why don't we get a pack from them?"

Sheng Changan's eyes moved slightly. After hearing these words, he was probably confirmed. Although Xu Qing was a bit eccentric, he was still responsible as a doctor and would never give medicine without seeing the patient.

Now it’s about how to connect online.

The man was a little embarrassed. "I hope we won't be discovered!"

"Don't worry, they just moved in and don't know the situation here. We are just asking for some medicine, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Besides, there are so many of us here. If we are discovered, the worst that can happen is that we will be killed," the woman said lightly.

The man looked at Xiaoyu again. She was indeed worth a lot of money. It would be a pity for her to die like this. "You go in person."

Sheng Changan dipped his hands into the water they brought, rubbed them on the ground, and pretended to fall at the woman's feet. He immediately got up and shrank to the side.

The woman didn't pay attention to this little episode and thought Sheng Changan was scared.

Sheng Changan's gaze lingered on the hem of the woman's skirt, where there was a black handprint, hoping to attract attention.

"What's going on?" Li Hui said seriously, "Didn't I tell you to stay with me, sir, every step of the way?"

Li Dashan stood in front of Li Hui with his head lowered. "I've checked that fortune-teller. He's just a liar. There's nothing suspicious about him."

"So the master just disappeared like that? The master didn't leave any clues?" Even though he had not practiced martial arts with me for a long time, it had been nearly half a year.

If something unexpected really happened, there would be no way there wouldn't be a struggle. And she remembered that the master had a hidden arrow, so at the very least, it would be no problem to buy time.

Nothing, unless she did it on purpose. Li Hui looked at Chen Ze, "What do you think?"

"I tend to think that the adults were kidnapped intentionally. It's unlikely that they were kidnapped by enemies, so the possibility of human traffickers is more likely."

Li Hui rubbed his forehead. It was the same as his own guess. Although the Lord was soft-hearted, he was not the kind of person who would put himself in danger.

She guessed that she took the risk because she felt she had the ability to protect herself, and that was why she felt helpless.

Xu Qing huddled aside and didn't dare to say a word. After all, it was he who suggested going out.

"Captain, someone came to ask us for medicine to treat colds." He Yin's voice came from outside.

"Xu Qing, you go and take a look." After thinking about it, he couldn't miss any clues at this time, so he decided to follow him out.

A woman standing at the door rubbed her hands and said, "I'm so sorry to bother you. The clinics are all closed at this time. There's really no place to buy medicine."

"I thought you guys seemed to be making some medicine these past couple of days, and there might be some leftover, so my master asked me to come and ask."

"Who at home is sick? You can't be careless about taking medicine. I am the doctor. Why don't I go to your house first to take a look?" Xu Qing suggested seriously. The atmosphere was too stressful. It would be better to go out and take a look first.

The woman was a little embarrassed. "This...I'm afraid it's not very convenient. The master doesn't like strangers."

"What's the inconvenience? I'm just a doctor. Wait, I'll go get the box." As he said this, he had already entered the house.

The woman opened her mouth and said, "This, this is not appropriate!"

"It's okay, he just has nothing to do." Of course she was happy that Xu Qing could find something to do on his own.

"Okay, let's go!" He dragged the woman outside.

Although Xu Qing looked frail, his arms and legs were quite strong. He dragged the man away and said, "Your master's house is over here, right?"

Being bored these past few days, he paid special attention to his surroundings. This family was the strangest. They kept their door closed all day long, and the people coming in and out looked furtive.

He was also very curious, so he took this opportunity to go in and take a look.

Li Hui's eyes fixed on a maidservant who looked neatly dressed, but had a black handprint on the hem of her skirt. "Gao Qiang, bring a few people with you. I don't think something is right."

"Will it be dangerous for Xu Qing to go there alone?" Chen Ze frowned.

"It's okay, it's a good opportunity for him to explore the way." Li Hui said indifferently, let's see if he can come back.

The woman was dragged away unexpectedly and after struggling for a few times, she was already at the door.

Xu Qing then let go of his hand. "You're quite heavy. This is it, right? I'll knock on the door."

Without waiting for the woman to stop him, he knocked on the door.

This time the woman had learned her lesson. As soon as the door opened, she said directly, "This is the doctor from the family next door. He said that he can only prescribe medicine after seeing the patient. Why don't you report it to the master immediately?"

"I'll go right away," the gatekeeper reacted very quickly.

"Why do you hire such a strong man to be the gatekeeper? It's rare to see one." Xu Qing muttered casually.

The woman's face froze. "Oh! The master thought it would be safer to find someone young and strong."

Soon, the gatekeeper came running over and said, "Doctor, please follow me."

Xu Qing commented as he walked, not caring about the people around him. "You've lived here for quite a while, why don't you take care of this house?"

"Don't you have a hostess here? Why are there so many men here?"

"Where does your patient live? Why is he getting further and further away? Where is this?"

Xu Qing looked at the woman with a strange expression.

The woman's expression gradually turned from grim at the beginning to expressionless. As soon as she arrived at the backyard where she was imprisoned, a group of people surrounded Xu Qing.

At this time, Xu Qing noticed something was wrong. "What are you doing?"

"Even if I said something unpleasant, you can't send someone to beat me up!"

Xu Qing was muttering to himself while trying to retreat. These people saw that something was wrong and decided to run away first.

But before he could take any action, a group of people pounced on him. Xu Qing struggled a few times with his mediocre skills, but was still caught.

"Take the man in and let him see the doctor, then we'll deal with him. Move him to another place quickly, it's not safe here anymore." As soon as the man was caught, the woman immediately began to make arrangements.

"How can you just abandon me? You've all made a profit by having a miracle doctor like me."

Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, Sheng Changan's head suddenly started to hurt. What a fool.

"Do you know who I am? You dare to catch me? You are asking for your life."

The person holding Xu Qing grabbed his hair and lifted his head up. "Hurry and look."

Xu Qing's muttering stopped, and Sheng Changan turned his face away expressionlessly.

This time Xu Qing finally showed his wit, pretending to be a stranger to Sheng Changan. "If you don't let go, how can I treat the disease?"

Xu Qingmo walked slowly to Sheng Changan's side. "Are you sick?"

Sheng Changan pulled the corner of his mouth, pretending to be worried, and took Xiaoyu's hand. "It's her. She has a fever. Go and see her."

"That's no problem." Xu Qing glanced at the two door gods standing at the door, blinked at Sheng Changan, and made a look for help.

Sheng Changan sighed silently in her heart. She thought that Xu Qing would bring at least two people with him when he came out to see a doctor, but who knew that this person would come alone.

"Doctor, are you okay?" Sheng Changan simply ignored his gaze.

Xu Qing was a little anxious. Seeing that he had not returned for such a long time, Li Hui and the others would definitely react, but before that, he had to at least save his own life.

Seeing Sheng Changan staring at the child on the ground, Xu Qing had an idea. "How can the cold enter the body so quickly? Let me give her acupuncture first."

"How long will the acupuncture take?" The woman was a little unhappy.

"This child is too seriously ill. He must be given acupuncture first and then take medicine. At least he has to survive tonight." Xu Qing looked at Sheng Changan's drooping brows and quickly added the last sentence.

The woman looked at Xiaoyu, but she still couldn't bear to spend the money. "Then I'll take you with me. It'll be a good opportunity for everyone else to see you."

It has come to this, it would be nice to find a doctor. If he really doesn't obey, breaking his legs will make him behave.

With the woman's words, Xu Qing's life was temporarily saved. Listening to the sound of people moving outside, he swallowed and asked, "What should we do?"

They reacted so quickly, could Li Hui and the others notice it?

"Are you here alone?" Sheng Changan asked with a hopeful mentality.

"I'm alone, and I'm really worried." Xu Qing stopped talking in time when he saw Sheng Chang'an's slightly threatening look.

"Miss, while you're seeing the patient, you can take this opportunity to check if you've been kidnapped by them. Who knows..." He really regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would never have come alone.

Sheng Changan was silent for a while before he looked up and said, "You are really smart."
