……

Inside the dilapidated temple, Gu Chen held a shard of porcelain in his hand, blood dripping from it.

His face was ashen, and he was breathing heavily.

Gu Ru covered her mouth and cried; her clothes were torn, and Gu Bao, who was standing next to her, also had injuries on his head and face.

The beggar tried to bully Gu Ru and injured Gu Bao, but at the crucial moment, Gu Chen used a shard of broken porcelain to cut the beggar's neck, thus saving Gu Ru from disaster.

The three siblings watched as the beggar on the ground clutched his neck and got up.

Gu Chen was too badly injured and had no strength left in his hands. He couldn't kill the beggar, but he managed to slit his neck, not his vital organs.

A fierce glint flashed in the beggar's eyes, and he kicked Gu Chen, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

He then stepped on his back, shouting, "You little bastard, you dare hurt your grandpa? I'll kill you right now!"

After saying that, he stomped on Gu Chen's feet several more times, and Gu Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, barely able to breathe.

The beggar then moved his foot away. "You dare to fight me even when you're on your last breath? I'll leave you with this last breath so you can see for yourself. I'll have my way with your sister first, then sell them both by the feet for money. Let's see what you can do then!"

"God is really good to me. He knows I don't have a woman, so he lets me experience the taste of a woman, and such a beautiful young girl at that... Hahaha!"

"Second brother, sister!"

Gu Bao lunged forward, only to be kicked in the stomach by the beggar.

Gu Bao was just a child, and after being kicked, he couldn't get up and rolled around on the ground in pain.

When Lin Shuyun and Doctor Zhang arrived, the beggar was about to tear Gu Ru's clothes. As soon as he saw someone coming, he became nervous.

"who are you?!"

Dr. Zhang was stunned by the scene. "This... didn't you say there were three children? How come there's one more!"

Seeing this, Lin Shuyun knew what was going on. A murderous glint flashed in her eyes as she stepped forward and approached the beggar.

"I don't like your eyes, and you don't need to have them anymore."

The beggar was stunned when he saw such a beautiful woman approaching him.

Before they could even react, they covered their eyes and screamed in agony.

On the dirty, messy ground lay two bloody eyeballs.

Gui Tong screamed for half a minute before immediately covering his mouth, and Doctor Zhang was so frightened that he dared not breathe.

Madam Lin is too, too cruel.

They gouged out a person's eyes while they were still alive.

Only Old Man Xu laughed heartily. After he finished laughing, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and said, "Oh, Yun girl, aren't you afraid of getting your hands dirty? Next time, just poke this disgusting thing with a stick."

It's obvious that this beggar is bullying these three little beggars.

If they had arrived any later, the little girl would have been ruined.

If it were him, he would crush the bug's manhood.

Lin Shuyun wiped her hands clean and looked at Doctor Zhang, saying, "Go and take a look at that kid. He's sold himself to me, so he can't die, or I'll lose a lot of money."

Although she has many pears, she doesn't give them to just anyone.

Doctor Zhang was almost scared out of his wits. He swallowed hard and obediently went to take Gu Chen's pulse first.

Gui Tong looked left and right, trying his best not to look at the eyeballs on the ground, and went to check Gu Bao's injury.

The moment his hand touched her, Dr. Zhang's brows furrowed deeply. "The injury is too severe; the internal organs are ruptured. I was initially somewhat confident, but now that the internal organs have suffered further damage, I'm afraid..."

They won't survive.

"Feed this to him. Whether he lives or dies depends on his fate. If he really can't be saved, then forget it." Lin Shuyun frowned and, using her sleeve to conceal herself, casually pulled out a medicinal herb from her spatial storage.

No one noticed her movements at that moment, except for Old Man Xu, whose eyes were darting around.

I saw it right then and there, and my eyes widened even more instantly.

"Purple Ganoderma!"

Dr. Zhang's eyes widened when he saw the Ganoderma lucidum.

There is only one of this kind of top-quality Ganoderma lucidum in the entire palace. It was previously used as medicine for the retired emperor. Apart from that, Doctor Zhang has never seen a Ganoderma lucidum of this quality in all his years of life.

"With this, plus ginseng, this person's chances of survival increase by 30%!"

Doctor Zhang carefully took out a small bottle from his medicine box, poured out a pill, and fed it to Gu Chen.

Then he said, "Put the person on this wooden board and carry them away. Be very gentle and make sure you don't hurt them again!"

He immediately used the Ganoderma lucidum in his medicine when he got back. One person can't use that much, so the rest should be his, right?

He just happened to give it to that person.

Thinking of this, Dr. Zhang's desire to save lives burned even brighter.

Gu Chen was moved onto a wooden plank by Lin Shuyun and Old Man Xu and carried away.

Gu Bao was also carried on Gui Tong's back, and Gu Ru followed in fear.

The group left the dilapidated temple, but the beggar who had lost his eyes was still lying on the ground, with two bloody holes in his face, and had fainted from the pain.

Not long after the group left, several horse-drawn carriages arrived outside the dilapidated temple.

The carriage was very low-key and simple, and about ten people got off one after another.

The leader was a middle-aged man whose handsome face was still evident despite his beard. His expression turned sour when he saw the beggar in the dilapidated temple.

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone actually committed such a violent act against a beggar! It seems that Wuyun County is not as peaceful as I imagined."

"Guards, investigate! Once you find out who did this, punish them severely!"

A servant standing nearby said, "Master, this place doesn't look very good. Let someone rescue the person. You should go to the city to stay."

The middle-aged man frowned as he boarded the carriage, hoping the news he had received was true and that he could find his sister's child here.

……

……

The three children were taken to Dr. Zhang's courtyard.

Doctor Zhang gave Gu Chen a life-saving pill, which temporarily kept him alive, and then went back to his room to study the medicine.

Although purple Ganoderma lucidum is good, it cannot be taken directly. It needs to be combined with other medicines to achieve the best effect.

Gui Tong treated Gu Bao's injuries and gave the two of them some food. The two sat obediently, watching Doctor Zhang's room.

Lin Shuyun gave Gu Chen some minor treatment when no one was looking, and stopped once his life was out of danger. Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, she returned to the courtyard.

Old Xu didn't come; he said he stayed in the yard to keep an eye on people so they wouldn't die.

After all that back and forth, the sun was almost setting.

As soon as Lin Shuyun entered, she saw Jiang Changtian sitting in the courtyard.

Jiang Changtian was relieved to see her and was about to speak when Qin Niangzi, who was sitting with her legs crossed and eating melon seeds, spoke first.

"You're back? That kid looked out the door hundreds of times. If you hadn't come back soon, his eyes would have gone puffy."

Jiang Changtian couldn't help but defend himself after being told that. "Aunt, I was reading a book."

Qin Niangzi spat out a melon seed shell and drawled, "Oh, reading a book? This is the first time I've ever seen someone read a book backwards! If you don't become the top scholar, who will?"

Jiang Changtian looked down and realized he was holding the book upside down, and his ears immediately burned.
