Duguchi couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the young man in such a mess, so without saying a word, he took out a clean handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the young man, saying: "Wipe it, don't be anxious, if you have any trouble, please speak slowly. Maybe I can help you if you tell me."

The young man saw that Dugu Chi was just like him, just a child. Judging from his age, he was almost as close to him as a general. He believed that Dugu Chi would have the ability to solve his own problems. But he saw that the other party treated him so kindly and pleasantly. He didn't dislike him because of his status as a little beggar, and felt extremely grateful in his heart, so he calmed down and slowly told Duguchi his difficulties.

I hope this young man is not a local. His family originally lived in a county called Laszhuer. His father was a second-level magic gang monk and an officer in the anti-theft camp of Laszhuer County. As a cultivator , an officer, the family situation is not bad in theory, not to mention rich and powerful, it can be considered a well-off family, and the life can be considered harmonious and beautiful.

Unexpectedly, when chasing thieves, the young man's father accidentally fell into an ambush by the thieves, and a team of anti-robbery soldiers and himself were killed by the thieves' swords. A whole team of anti-robbery soldiers, forty or fifty people, all died in the battle, but It's not a trivial matter, so someone needs to take responsibility. Even though his person is dead, the accounts still have to be settled. What's more, it's perfect for a dead person to take the blame. So the final result is that he The Shangguan charged him with frivolous advancement, and all his property was confiscated.

This is not over yet. The young man's father was convicted by a superior officer of being a jinjin. The family members of the dead soldiers stopped working. It doesn't matter if you lost your life because of qingjin, but these are the mainstays of dozens of families. If you follow you, you will be gone. For a small family, without the backbone of the family, it is like the sky has collapsed. How can the dozens of families, old and young, survive? So the survivors of those dead soldiers Spread all this resentment on the young man's family.

From then on, people came to the door almost every day to make trouble. The young mother felt that her husband had failed her, so she swallowed her anger and asked for help if someone came to make trouble. He went away, leaving only the young man and his sister, who was two years younger than him, helpless and unable to live.

Seeing that there was no longer any way to live in that county, the young man had no choice but to take his sister and leave this sad place. However, he remembered that his father once said that they had an uncle, and his family lived in the capital. , so the young man and his sister begged all the way to the capital to join their uncle.

But who would have expected that after arriving in the capital, the two of them asked around and found no news about their uncle. They had no choice but to do so. They were young and did not have the strength to help others, so they had to find an abandoned house in a shantytown. They settled temporarily and continued to work every day. Begging for a living.

Who would have known that misfortunes never come singly. Due to long-term lack of nutrition and poor resistance, my sister contracted typhoid fever. She had a high fever for a while, and there were no doctors or pharmacists in the world. This disease actually made her lifeless. The young man thought about his poor sister. , just thinking about getting a hot meal for her sister before she died, so that her sister could go on the road with a full stomach, so the scene that Dugu Chi saw before happened.

After listening to the young man's narration, Duguchi pulled the young man into the store without saying a word, took out more than ten green coins from his arms, slapped them on the counter, and shouted to the shopkeeper at the counter. : "Bring me three roast chickens and pay for my meal."

The boss at the counter glanced at the two of them in surprise and said with a smile: "Sir, you haven't eaten yet."

"I won't eat anymore. Let's cook the chicken quickly. I have something else to do." Duguchi replied coldly.

The boss thought to himself that it would be better if you didn't eat. Wouldn't this be an advantage to me?

When the roast chicken was ready, the shopkeeper gave the order, and the nimble boy had already taken three roast chickens, wrapped them in oil paper, tied them with hemp rope, and handed them to Dugu Chi.

After calculating the money for the meal, Duguchi picked up the packed roast chicken and said, "Let's go, take me to see your sister. Maybe I can save his life."

The young man didn't believe it when he heard it, but the current situation couldn't get any worse, so it was still up to him to choose.

The two of them were anxious, so they walked quickly and arrived at a shanty town in just one stick of incense.

Shantytowns, the shelter for people living at the lowest level in big cities, have not disappeared no matter in that dynasty or that generation. The upper-class aristocrats and their rich families are drinking and eating, while the lower-class poor people are starving and lying in ditches. Poor people, if they can have a tile to cover their heads It’s already extremely difficult.

The dilapidated house where the young brother and sister live is truly a dilapidated house. One of the four walls has collapsed, and half of the roof has been lifted off. It can block the wind but not the rain.

After entering the door, through the light leaking from the broken roof, Dugu Chi saw at a glance a little girl huddled in a pile of tattered cotton wool in the corner, with only a pale little face exposed. , someone came in and showed no reaction at all, he must be in a coma due to high fever. Duguchi didn't say anything, he quickly stepped forward, reached out his hand, grabbed the little girl's hand from the pile of torn cotton wool, and put three fingers on the wrist to pulse. Here, close your eyes and say nothing.

After half a stick of incense, Dugu Chi slowly opened his eyes, turned around and said to the young man, "Do you think your sister would have survived if I didn't care?"

The young man was silent for a while and shook his head.

Seeing the young man shaking his head, Dugu Chi continued: "Well, I have a way to cure the disease, but I don't dare to guarantee whether it can be cured. Are you willing to let me treat your sister?"

The young man nodded without any hesitation and said: "The situation is bad enough right now. Even if your treatment is ineffective, how bad will the result be? Please go ahead and treat me. No matter what the result is, I will still be grateful to you."

It seems that this young man is also a very decisive person, which is quite rare at such a young age.

"Okay, go get a bowl of water." Duguchi told the young man.

The young man didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went out. After a while, he came over with a black rough porcelain bowl with a cracked edge in his hand. The bowl was filled with half a bowl of water. Duguchi took the bowl without saying anything and put his right hand in. In his arms, he secretly touched the ring with his thumb, and when he took it out, he actually held two plant tubers in his hand. He stretched his right hand above the magnetic bowl and applied force on his hand. The tubers were squeezed, and the juice in the tubers slowly seeped out. Come out and fall into the porcelain bowl.

The juice dissolved into the water, and the water gradually turned into a dark green color. When all the juice in the tuber was squeezed out, Duguchi put aside the tuber, lifted the girl up with a gentle support of his right hand, and slowly poured the juice in the bowl into the girl's mouth. The girl seemed to be still conscious, but she was also suffering from a high fever, and her mouth was feeling thirsty. The girl drank all the liquid in the bowl in one go.

After feeding the medicine, Dugu gently laid the girl down, covered her with cotton wool again, turned to the boy and said, "Okay, now we just wait for the medicine to take effect. If nothing goes wrong, the high fever will gradually subside in half an hour." Retreat."

After all the busy work, it was already the red sun moving westward. He didn't realize it while he was busy, but now that he was free, Duguchi felt hungry in his belly, so he picked up a roast chicken, tore open the package, and tore the chicken into two pieces. Half, half of which was handed to the young man and said: "Eat some, you must be hungry too."

After not eating for a day, the young man was very hungry. When he saw the roasted chicken, his belly started to growl, so he didn't refuse, thanked him, took the roasted chicken and started to devour it.

After all, he cared about his sister very much. While eating the roast chicken, the young man kept observing his sister's condition with his eyes. Dugu ignored him and took half of the roast chicken, tearing off the meat piece by piece and stuffing it into his mouth. After eating half of the roasted chicken, Duguchi was full, but seeing that the young man was not busy enough, he said to him, "There is still more, you can get it and eat it yourself."

The young man was also worried about his sister. When he was half full, he had no intention of eating anymore, so he responded, "That's enough." Knowing that he was worried about his sister, Dugu Chi didn't say anything more.

At this time, both of them were focused on the little girl and were in no mood to talk, so Duguchi found a relatively clean place to sit down and wait.

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. The young man couldn't calm down and naturally couldn't sit still, so he rubbed his hands and paced back and forth, as if not doing so could relieve the pressure in his heart.
