I do beauty in Jianghu

Bai Muxi was taken aback.

If this face is to be cured, I am afraid that a box of pearl ointment cannot solve the problem.

Bai Muxi sighed softly, he is afraid that there is nothing he can do now, after all, even he himself is only sharing a box of pearl ointment with Qi Ming.

He stood up and asked Xiaoyu to open the door to let the child go.

Qi Ming on the side disagreed: "Just let her go like this?"

Bai Muxi whispered: "She is still a child."

Still such a poor kid.

Qi Ming disagreed: "Can a child break into a house and steal?"

His tone of speech was cold, and the child who had just relaxed huddled up again in fright. She felt that this person was not as good-tempered as Bai Muxi in front of her.

Bai Muxi was dumbfounded, a little embarrassed: "But, such a small child, there is no need to really send him to the government to be beaten. It's poor, they are all poor people."

Qi Ming disagrees: "You can steal if you are poor? Why, you are rich now, and you need others to steal from the rich and help the poor?"

"If she stays poor, can she keep stealing?"

Bai Muxi was speechless, it was rare for him to see that Qi Ming cared so much about something, he looked at Qi Ming, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Qi Ming's eyes were calm, but his tone was merciless: "Whether she came here by herself or was instigated by others, if you let her go with this reason now, she will steal again someday, and if someone catches her, she will be beaten to death immediately." You should know that if a poor person like her becomes a thief, no one will care if she is killed."

Bai Muxi understood now, and sighed slightly in her heart.

That's right, he just went up from the lowest level of poor people, how could he forget this truth.

Bai Muxi was helpless: "What should I do, is it really sent to the government, or really beat her up?"

But he couldn't do it.

Qi Ming shrugged: "You can do whatever you want."

Hearing this, the child finally couldn't bear it any longer, and hurried out and knelt down to Bai Muxi, crying, "Please, please beat me up, it doesn't matter how hard you are, don't send me to the government, please .”

Bai Muxi looked at the poor child and felt embarrassed.

He understood what Qi Ming meant, if he didn't teach this child some lessons and let her go stealing with the principle that she can be let go when she's weak, she might be caught by a rich family next time, and if she doesn't die, she will be crippled. Once a poor person like her is disabled, she is not far from death.

Besides, the kid said that, it seems that he is not afraid of being beaten, but only afraid of being sent to the government.

Then it's useless to beat her.

After much deliberation, Bai Muxi decided to try to reason with the child.

"Don't be afraid, get up, let me tell you the truth, I don't have any pearl ointment for you, and the scars on your face can't be wiped off with just one or two boxes of pearl ointment."

The burns on Liu Chuyun's face were not serious, and now two boxes have been used up, and they still haven't completely disappeared. The burns on the child's face are so severe, it will take longer time and more pearl ointment than necessary.

The child got up from the ground and hurriedly said, "I don't use it for myself, I use it for my brother."

"elder brother?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi immediately became angry, "Your family actually instructed you to steal? Do they know that if you encounter someone with a bad temper, you may be beaten to death!"

Did they expect that such a young child might not be beaten by others?The intention is so vicious!

Seeing that Bai Muxi misunderstood, the child hurriedly explained: "No, no, I came to steal it myself, I, I..."

She couldn't explain clearly, startled and frightened, sobbed, and spoke intermittently for a long time before she managed to explain the reason clearly.

Her mother got a sudden illness and needed a sum of money to save her life, but in order to see a doctor for her mother, the family was completely destitute and could not afford a penny.

And not long ago, a master took a fancy to her elder brother's appearance and wanted to take it back to be a male favorite. Her elder brother was only 16 years old, and his mother was not sick at that time, so he resisted to death and was scratched on the face. The master is no longer interested in him.

Now my brother regrets it and wants to heal the scars on his face so that he can sell himself to that master for money, but he can't go out to steal things if he wants to sell himself. There was absolutely no hope of saving her mother, so the little girl volunteered to steal pearl ointment from Bai Muxi's yard.

Her brother's injury was shallow, and he didn't need much pearl ointment. If Bai Muxi was willing to give them some charity, the little girl would sign a contract of sale and make Bai Muxi a cow or a horse to pay back the money.

After knowing the reason, the people in the room were completely speechless.

Qi Ming has been through the wind and rain for half his life, and he is used to seeing life and death parting, and there is no sadness or joy on his face, and he is unmoved.

Xiaoyu's big eyes rolled around. His situation is not much different from that of this girl. The same thing is everywhere around him. He has even experienced a lot in his own way growing up, so he didn't suffer from it because of what he heard. This matter caused too much sympathy, and more numbness.

Helpless numbness.

But only Bai Muxi had more pity in his eyes.

After a long silence, Bai Muxi suddenly said: "For this kind of thing, you can choose to come to me for help. I will try my best to help you, instead of stealing in the middle of the night. No matter what reason you have, stealing is wrong."

The little girl lowered her head in shame and said honestly.

She originally wanted to come to ask for it, but after the old people in the neighborhood knew about it, they all said that if they couldn't get the medicine at home first, they would be vigilant, and naturally it would be difficult to steal, and their family's livelihood was cut off.

She is a child, even if she is caught, many people just beat her up and let her go, they will not really send her to the government, even if she is really beaten to death, it will probably be their family's life.

So the little girl tried her best to die, and touched Bai Muxi's corner in the middle of the night.

Bai Muxi let out a long sigh and had nothing to say.

Because of the environment in which he grew up, he felt very empathetic to the plight of the child in front of him. He didn't want to think about the child's right and wrong. When life has pushed people to a desperate situation, many times they can't care about right and wrong. .

He went to his room and took out the newly left box of pearl ointment. He wanted to give a box to the girl, so he didn't have to use it, but thinking about the scars on Qi Ming's face, he divided half of it and put it in an empty box. Here, give it to this girl.

Bai Muxi didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "You are still young, some things can't be clearly distinguished, I don't blame you, but in the future, don't listen to other people's bewitching you, stealing is absolutely wrong, you should know It's not easy to make money, so you should know that you are not the only one who is difficult to make money, and if you are caught again later, your little life may be lost."

The girl took the pearl ointment and thanked Bai Muxi a thousand times.

Bai Muxi: "Go."

The girl kowtowed heavily to him and left.

Bai Muxi looked back at Qi Ming, who didn't respond, and didn't know whether he agreed or disapproved. Bai Muxi shrugged helplessly: "Forget it, everyone has their own responsibilities, and we can't control so much."

Qi Ming's expression was always calm, noncommittal.

When he expresses his opinion, he just expresses his opinion. As for how to decide, that is Bai Muxi's business.

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Qi Ming is always the first one to get up, Xiaoyu almost regards him as a benchmark, as long as he hears Qi Ming's movement in the yard, he will immediately get up and start tidying up the yard.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, and he doesn't have to get up so early, the yard is always clean, because Qi Ming will look for things to do when he is free, and the kitchen that he usually uses will take some effort, but Xiaoyu eats his master's food for nothing , I always feel that I don’t do anything, and I feel guilty.

After Qi Ming finished washing, he sat on the stone bench in the yard, staring at the nothingness in the air for a while, and the little fish next to him hugged the broom, walked over, walked over, walked over, and came over again.

There is really nothing to clean.

So he couldn't help but circle around Qi Ming.

I don't know why, but he admires Qi Ming very much in his heart. He always feels that this person is cold and powerful. After living together for so long, the cage has never spoken to him, but the more he ignores him, the younger The more the fish wanted to talk to him.

Although it seems that what Qi Ming does at home is no different from doing odd jobs, but even the posture of squatting by the sink to wash and dry clothes is more fluid than him, and he does it in one go.

What he does is called doing odd jobs, and what other people do is probably to pass the time.

Especially last night, when the little girl came in to steal something, he, the gatekeeper, didn't notice it at all, but Qi Ming, who was sleeping far away, found it out first, which is amazing.

Qi Ming was annoyed by the little fish, and squinted his eyes: "Are you all right?"

Xiaoyu was swinging back and forth with his broom in his arms, when suddenly he heard Qi Ming's faint voice, he hurriedly stood up straight, and stammered: "No, it's all right."

Qi Ming: "Go to sleep."

It was still early for Bai Muxi to wake up, enough for a good night's sleep.

Xiaoyu shook his head: "No, no need, I'm not sleepy, I'll just go around."

"Ah."

Qi Ming looked at him and suddenly sneered.

Xiao Yu got goosebumps from his laugh, what's wrong?Could it be that his intentions were discovered?

Qi Ming looked at Xiaoyu leisurely.

He has been observing this child for a long time. He is a kind-hearted child with a good temper. Bai Muxi seldom orders him around, but he himself is never lazy, and he is very diligent. Bai Muxi helped, very clever.

Bai Muxi likes him very much. He once said in a chat with Qi Ming that if he becomes rich in the future, he would like to ask Xiaoyu if he would like to follow him.

Qi Ming asked him, "Can you walk like a horse?"

Xiao Yu stood at attention and looked at him, shaking his head.

Qi Ming: "Want to learn?"

The little fish nodded like pounding garlic.

He knew that he knew that it was said in the little story books on the street that the first thing to learn martial arts is zama stance!After the horse stance is mastered, just fall off a cliff, ask a teacher, marry a wife, and you will become a martial arts master!

Qi Ming didn't know that there were so many messy things in his mind, and he was idle when he was idle. Seeing that the child wanted to learn, he simply taught him a few tricks.

Tomorrow...

Bai Muxi always needs someone to take care of him, otherwise, like last night, when a clumsy thief slipped in, neither of them would notice.

So Xiaoyu confidently posed in front of Qi Ming. He often peeked at those martial arts students practicing kung fu, and memorized some basic kung fu postures.

But Qi Ming shook his head, and stretched out his hand to help him adjust his posture so that the horse's stance was standard. Xiaoyu couldn't take it anymore, and felt his legs shaking like chaff in a moment.

"Qi, Mr. Qi..." Xiaoyu's voice was trembling.

Qi Ming sat back on the stone table with a smile in his eyes: "Hang on, learning Kung Fu is not so easy."

After a while, Xiaoyu's whole body trembled like a leaf falling in the wind. Seeing that he was going to be unable to hold on anymore, he suddenly heard a cautious knock on the door.
