Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

The beggars' dwelling wasn't far from Willow Leaf Lane, and the group arrived shortly afterward. The one-armed beggar gestured, and the group stopped.

Xu Qing was surprised. These beggars looked so well-trained that they didn't seem like ordinary beggars. Could they be the Beggar Clan from martial arts novels?

The one-armed beggar took out a small whistle hanging around his neck, blew it gently, and produced a sound like birdsong.

The big worm tiptoed out of the alley and ran quickly.

“Dad, there’s a garbage dump in the alley, right across from the house where that person is hiding. I hid inside and kept watching. Once that person went in, he didn’t come out.”

One-armed beggar: "Do you know how many people are inside?"

Big Bug: "I peeked through the crack in the door and saw that the yard was full of children, but there were only two guards."

The one-armed beggar said, "There are many of us, but if we force our way in, the person might be holding the child hostage. We need to think of a way, preferably sneaking in quietly."

Xu Qing knew that what this person said made sense, but Bei Bei was so close, and she really couldn't wait any longer.

She looked around the mall to see if they had any sleeping pills or similar substances; if she could drug someone, she could get them inside.

Unfortunately, the mall doesn't sell this kind of thing, but Xu Qing has found a good item for self-defense.

This chili powder is 100,000 times hotter than the average chili powder, costing only one cent per pound. If you encounter an enemy, just sprinkle it out; one by one, they'll die from the spiciness.

Xu Qing gave all the money she had to the one-armed beggar, and then whispered to Xu Gong, "Are you keeping the money from selling roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) today?"

Xu Gong took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Xu Qing: "We sold 50 today. They're all here."

Xu Qing took the item, bought 10 jin (5 catties) of chili powder, and put it in the shopping cart.

“I have a plan. Follow me.”

The one-armed beggar gave him an inquiring look.

Xu Qing: "There's no time to explain. Just have a few people follow me, but hide first. I'll take down the enemy and then charge in."

Xu Gong stopped Xu Qing: "It's too dangerous, little sister. Tell me if you have any ideas so I can go."

Xu Qing refused: "Only I can do it. Second Brother and the others can hide behind me and help me."

Xu Qing asked Da Chong to lead her to the door of that family. Da Chong looked at the one-armed beggar, who nodded, and Da Chong led Xu Qing inside.

Sure enough, there was a large pile of garbage at the entrance, which provided a good hiding place. Several beggars who were still relatively strong hid inside.

After confirming that they were in hiding, Xu Qing took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Footsteps sounded inside, and the door opened a crack. The man looked outside warily but saw no one.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard. The man was about to close the door when Xu Qing came out from the side, kicked the door hard, and threw a handful of chili powder at it.

She bought two pairs of gloves in advance at the mall, and also wore a mask and glasses, so the chili powder couldn't hurt her.

The man covered his eyes and collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

"Ouch! It hurts! My eyes!"

Xu Qing quickly took out gloves, a mask, and glasses and put them into the shopping cart.

The man's wails attracted another man in the yard, who lowered his guard when he saw it was a woman.

He held up his broadsword and mocked the man rolling on the ground, saying, "You're spineless."

With a thought, Xu Qing took the gloves out of the shopping cart and sprinkled a handful of chili powder over.

The man's large knife fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust: "Aaaaah! My eyes! Aaaaah!"

The beggars hiding in the garbage dump looked at each other, as if they were of no use to them!

Xu Qing didn't even glance at the two men rolling on the ground, and ran towards the courtyard.

Xu Gong followed closely behind, tied up the two men on the ground, and ran inside as well.

The beggars also flooded into the small courtyard, where seven or eight children sat, their hands tied behind their backs, their mouths stuffed, and their eyes blindfolded.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, they all huddled together in fear.

Xu Qing glanced around but didn't see Xu Beibei. There was a room on each side of the courtyard, and Xu Qing and Xu Gong opened and checked them one by one.

Surprisingly, there were several children locked in the room, but the children in the room were dressed and looked like they came from wealthy families.

Both involve blindfolding, gagging, and binding hands, but the difference is that the person sits on the bed instead of sunbathing in the yard.

Xu Beibei wasn't in the first three rooms, so only the last one remained. Xu Qing hesitated to open the door. Da Chong said that the person hadn't left since coming in, so Beibei must be inside.

But the room was quiet, without a sound. Even when the other children's mouths were gagged, they would still make muffled noises.

Besides, Beibei was so small, how could there be no sound at all? Xu Qing dared not think any further, raised her hand and then lowered it again, afraid that she would find Beibei's body when she opened the door.

Xu Gong had the same thought. With trembling hands, he pushed open the door. Sure enough, there was a bamboo basket containing Xu Beibei on the bed, and a little boy lying next to it.

The boy's hands were bound, but his eyes were closed.

Xu Qing stepped forward, gently pulled back the floral cloth, revealing Xu Beibei's adorable little face. She placed her hand below Xu Beibei's nose.

Still angry!

Oh, she was asleep. No wonder she was so quiet. You little ingrate, your mother was so worried!

As the tension in her heart eased, Xu Qing completely lost her strength and slumped down.

Xu Gong reacted quickly, supporting Xu Qing: "There are so many children here, we should report this to the authorities. Their families will be terribly worried if we send them back."

The boy on the bed slowly opened his eyes: "You said you were going to report it to the authorities, and that you're not with them?"

Xu Qing looked at the boy, who appeared to be about five or six years old. She replied softly, "This is my daughter. We've come to rescue her. Where do you live? We can take you home."

The boy pouted, "I don't want to go back. My dad only scolds me. I see you treat your daughter very well, so I'll go back with you."

Hearing the boy's playful words, Xu Qing relaxed a bit and found it amusing. This kid was really brave; he was tied up and still dared to go with someone.

The one-armed beggar walked in, glanced at the bamboo basket on the bed, and said, "I've saved the person for you. Do you still stand by what you promised to do for me?"

Xu Qing steadied himself by taking Xu Gong's hand: "Of course it counts, please speak."

"Wait for me." The one-armed beggar turned and left the room, then came back in with a little beggar.

Xu Qing glanced at it and realized it was the same thin beggar she had initially inquired about.

The one-armed beggar continued, "Take her back to your home and raise her. I will pay for her food on time."

When the little beggar heard that she was to be given away, she clung to the one-armed beggar's leg in terror.

"Father, don't send me away, I want to stay with you! Although I ask for more money than others, I'm trying my best. Isn't the business of finding people for this lady something I found?"

"If all else fails, I'll break my arms and legs too, then I can get even more money. Please don't send me away! Dad, sob sob sob."

Xu Qing was also puzzled. Giving money for food meant that this person valued the little beggar, so why would he be willing to give her away?
