In a rundown temple outside the South Qin Country's Duxi He City.
Holding the chicken soup that he had begged for with great difficulty, Que Wuyi came to his mother and said softly,"Mother, are you hungry? I met a kind person today. He gave me a bowl of chicken soup. Look, there are two pieces of chicken in it!”
Madam Ling coughed before she opened her mouth. She forced her eyes open and looked at her daughter, who was dressed in rags, wearing a tattered hat, and deliberately smearing her face with mud. "Wuyi, mother is not hungry and can't eat.”
Que Wuyi put down the bowl and helped his mother up from the door. He let her sit against the table." Mother, you can eat!" I said that I met a kind person today. Not only did he give me a bowl of chicken soup, but he also let me eat a steamed bun and even gave me a tael of silver! Mother, drink the chicken soup first. Then, I'll use this silver to invite a doctor to treat you.”
Madam Ling coughed weakly as she spoke." Then Mother will drink the soup…Cough cough, but there's no need to invite a doctor! You also know that mother's illness isn't something that happened in a day or two…Cough cough cough, if we really hire a doctor, who knows how much money it will cost…Cough cough cough!”
Que Wuyi carefully patted his mother's back and said,"No, we must invite a doctor to take a look. Anyway, mother doesn't need to worry about the silver. Mother, drink the soup, drink the soup!"
Que Wuyi brought the bowl to his mother's mouth.
Madam Ling let out a long sigh and reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of soup before pushing the bowl away." Mother can't drink anymore. Wuyi, you can drink the rest for Mother."”
"Mother, drink more. This chicken soup is very nourishing and will definitely be good for mother's body. Moreover, mother hasn't had a good meal for many days, so her stomach must be growling from hunger. So mother, drink more, drink more!”
Madam Ling looked at Que Wuyi's stubborn face, and tears began to roll down her face. She reached out to caress her daughter's face." Silly child! Do you think Mother doesn't know anything? You didn't eat it yourself and saved it for your mother, right?”
Que Wuyi shook his head vigorously, and his dirty little face was full of smiles." No, Mother, I really ate, and I'm so full. Look, my stomach is still bulging!”
As she spoke, she patted her slightly bulging stomach to confirm that she had indeed eaten something.
"Mother, the weather is cold. If you don't drink this soup now, it will freeze. If it freezes, you will cough again after drinking it.”
"Then mother will drink the soup, and you will eat the meat.”
"Mother also eats meat!" Que Wuyi grabbed a larger piece of chicken and handed it to his mother. He took the smaller piece and began to gnaw on it hungrily.
Actually, she really didn't eat. Instead, she drank a lot of water and barely stuffed her dry stomach to lie to her mother so that she wouldn't cry because she was hungry again.
How could the Ling Corporation not know? She nodded with reddened eyes and couldn't help but cough a few more times. Just as she was about to drink a few more mouthfuls of soup, there was a sudden noise of footsteps and people at the entrance of the dilapidated temple.
"Is this the place?"
"That's right, it's here! The people nearby all knew that the little beggar lived here and had an old woman with him!”
With that, the group of people entered the ruined temple and saw Que Wuyi drinking chicken soup and eating chicken with his mother.
One of them pointed at Que Wuyi and shouted,"It's her! She was the one who hit me, snatched the chicken soup I was going to serve to the guests, and stole my reward money.”
Que Wuyi rubbed his nose and sucked the chicken oil on his fingers. He stood up without a care." So what if I took the chicken soup and stole the silver? I've already drunk the chicken soup and spent all the money. Do you want me to spit it out?”
A middle-aged man said fiercely,""I can't spit it out, but I can beat you until your teeth are all over the ground. Let's see if you dare to steal again! Come on, hit me hard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few servants had already surrounded Que Wuyi and started to beat him up!
However, Que Wuyi was very slippery. With a squat and a flash, he had already slipped out of the encirclement and ran outside the ruined temple. He even jumped and made faces at the inside. "Come on! Look at you bunch of idiots with cow poop in your eyes. How can you hit me?”
A few servants chased out of the ruined temple, but Que Wuyi had already run a few hundred feet away. These servants were so angry that they stomped their feet and cursed repeatedly,"Don't go, you son of a b * tch thief. I'll kill you today! Don't go!"
"Those who don't leave are idiots, those who don't leave are idiots whose eyes are covered in cow shit. I'm neither an idiot nor an idiot, of course I have to leave!”Que Wuyi stopped in his tracks and grimaced again.
However, this group of people had suffered a few losses from Que Wuyi and had already figured out her tricks. They did not chase after her at the moment, but only carried their sticks back to the dilapidated temple. They threatened Madam Ling who was cowering at the side,"That little beggar is your daughter?"
Madam Ling nodded. Her already pale face became even paler because of the shock." Yes…Yes! May I ask what Wuyi has done?”
"What did you do?" The middle-aged man in the lead gritted his teeth. Your daughter stole a bowl of chicken soup and silver from me and scared away all my guests. What do you think I should do?”
Madam Ling was suddenly at a loss and almost lost her mind. How could this be? Why would Wuyi steal other people's things and even rob other people's silver? How could this child do such a thing?
She knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and kowtowed to the few of them." Please forgive me! That child didn't do it on purpose. That child did such a shameful thing for my illness. Please forgive me! I am here to kowtow in place of Wuyi and apologize to all of you. Please forgive me, please forgive me!”
The middle-aged man snorted." Forgive?" If we forgive you, then who will forgive us? Those customers were big customers from outside the pass. With the little beggar messing around, how could the loss be forgiven? Besides, this wasn't her first time committing such a crime. Which restaurant in Luoyang City hadn't she stolen, robbed, and ruined? I don't believe that the little beggar won't show himself after I take you! Come on, beat this stinky old woman up first, then send her to the magistrate to be dealt with!”
"Yes, sir!"
A few servants shouted loudly and raised their sticks to cover Madam Ling.
Que Wuyi, who had originally planned to lure these wolves and tigers out of the ruined temple, saw them venting their anger on his mother from afar. He immediately ignored his own safety and rushed into the encirclement, using his body to protect his mother tightly. He cried and cursed,"Don't hit my mother! I was the one who stole the chicken soup and stole the money. You heartless cow poop can hit me if you want to. Don't hit my mother, don't hit my mother!”
"We want to hit you! I'll even kill your mother, so that the restaurants and hotels in the city won't be driven out of business by a smelly beggar like you! Hit him, hit him hard!"
All the punches and kicks landed squarely on Que Wuyi's body. However, Que Wuyi endured the pain and hugged his mother tightly with both hands, trying not to let his mother suffer any grievances. He kept shouting," You heartless dogs, beasts and animals who don't help others. I curse you to have no butthole in your children. I curse you to be a thief and a prostitute. Your family will be wiped out in a fire…"
Hearing Que Wuyi's sinister curses, these people became even angrier. With a single strike, Que Wuyi spat out blood and even Madam Ling fainted.
"Thieves and prostitutes? I'll beat you to death, you little slut, smelly beggar. Let's see whose family will die first…"
Suddenly, a man's cold voice sounded." Stop! Don't you think it's a little too much for a group of people to bully a defenseless orphan and widow like this?”
These people were in the middle of a fight. Their eyes were all red as they craned their necks and looked at the door together." Which reckless bastard dares to interfere in my business?”
" What's going on?" A handsome young man in a white robe, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, stepped in." The world's affairs are under the control of everyone, especially the bullying of orphans and widows.”
"Who are you?" the middle-aged man in the lead shouted. How dare you interfere in my business?"
The waiter at the side opened his eyes and looked at the man. He reached out to pull the man." Master, I know this person. His name is Chu Nanfeng. He's a doctor.”
The middle-aged man frowned." Chu Nanfeng? I'm still Xia Beifeng! Where did this weird name come from?"
The waiter pulled the man to the side and said in a low voice,"Master, don't talk nonsense. We can't afford to offend this person. He is the emperor's distinguished guest, even the emperor is polite to him!”
The man's eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the young man called Chu Nanfeng in disbelief." Be…polite? He…is he that powerful?"
"That's right! Because the Empress was unwell because of the Crown Prince, the Emperor personally went to Dunhuang to ask him to treat the Empress. When the carriage passed by, didn't you see it?”
The moment he reminded him, the man also remembered, and his face suddenly turned pale.
It turned out that this man who had seen injustice was the second ranked Yu Tian, Chu Nanfeng, of the Nine Phoenix of Dunhuang. He was entrusted by Xuanyuan Rui to treat Chu Huanyi, who was about to give birth.
Chu Huanyi's body was weak to begin with. In addition, she had been seriously injured because of Xuanyuan Rui and had not fully recovered. Therefore, this pregnancy had made Xuanyuan Rui worry for a full nine months. In the tenth month, Xuanyuan Rui could not take it anymore and went to Dunhuang to ask Chu Fengyi for help. That was how Chu Nanfeng's trip to the South Qin Country came about.
Chu Nanfeng was indeed a divine doctor who was as famous as Chu Fengyi. When he arrived in Southern Qin, not only did he help Chu Huanyi give birth smoothly, but he also nourished her usually weak body until it was fair and tender. Her entire body became much rounder. Xuanyuan Rui was overjoyed, and his heart was filled with joy. He conferred Chu Nanfeng the title of national doctor. A few days later, the two of them even called each other brothers, and they regretted not meeting each other earlier.
On this day, Chu Nanfeng had originally gone to Prince Zhan's residence to treat the bedridden Prince Zhan. On his way back, he was strolling around the city and coincidentally saw how Que Wuyi stole people's things and robbed people of their money. He had also followed a group of people to the dilapidated temple and saved the lives of Que Wuyi and his mother at the right time, preventing them from being beaten to death!
Knowing that the person who had spoken to stop him was Chu Nanfeng, who had shaken the entire Southern Qin and was conferred the title of South Qin's doctor, the man's imposing manner immediately became much more subdued." But…are we going to let this stinky beggar off just like that?"”
Chu Nanfeng glanced at Que Wuyi and her daughter who had already fainted on the ground and said indifferently,""Don't beggars just beg for food? Once they couldn't get anything to eat and were extremely hungry, they would steal and rob. Sometimes, when they were desperate, they would even snatch, right?”
"Not just stealing and robbing? "This stinky beggar is still spreading rumors everywhere. He said that the things in my restaurant have cockroach feces and scared away all the customers. Don't you think that he shouldn't be beaten?"”The man was furious and kicked Que Wuyi again. Chu Nanfeng looked at the group of fiendish men quietly and then at the unconscious mother and son on the ground. He then took out something from his bosom and threw it over. "Take it and exchange it. Consider it compensation for your losses. You won't be able to earn this much silver in a year!”
The man took a look and his eyes widened. It was a gold ingot. Judging from its color and weight, it was worth at least fifty taels of silver.
The man beamed with joy. He was so happy that he couldn't even speak." Gold…Gold ingots? For me?"
Chu Nanfeng frowned." You don't want it? Or is it not enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough. How can it not be enough? However…" The man was still not satisfied and seemed to have something to say.
"But what?" Chu Nanfeng's eyes narrowed. His handsome face was filled with an indescribable coldness and nobility." If you don't want to be involved in a lawsuit, then get lost!" Do you know that these two people have already been beaten to the point of death?”
When they heard that there might be lives lost, how could these fiends dare to say anything? All of them immediately packed up their things and left the ruined temple in a hurry as if their buttocks were on fire.
Once the group of people left, Chu Nanfeng immediately squatted down and checked Que Wuyi's aura. Then, he touched Madam Ling's forehead and took her pulse.
At this moment, Que Wuyi woke up.
When she saw Chu Nanfeng holding her mother's hand, she didn't care whether it was black or white, thinking that he was here to beat her cow shit. She struggled and shouted, using all her strength to push Chu Nanfeng away. "Don't touch my mother! If you want to fight, I'll let you fight!”
Chu Nanfeng shot a glance at Que Wuyi and said coldly,""It's useless to hit you. Your mother is already dead.”
Que Wuyi was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at his mother, who was motionless in his arms." What did you say? What happened to my mother?"
"Your mother is already dead!"
Que Wuyi's eyes widened. He stretched out a finger and trembled as he tried to feel his mother's breath.
As expected, Madam Ling was no longer breathing. However, because she had just died, her body was still warm and her face still looked alive. It was impossible to tell that she was dead.
Que Wuyi stared blankly at the lifeless Madam Ling, then at the indifferent Chu Nanfeng who seemed to have nothing to do with her. All of a sudden, she let out a strange cry and rushed toward him, punching him with her small fists.
"You killed my mother! You bastard, you actually killed my mother! I want you to pay with your life. I want to kill you to pay with my mother's life!”
Chu Nanfeng did not expect Que Wuyi to suddenly rush over. He lost his balance and actually let her fall to the ground. He took a few solid punches and even his nose was hit, causing blood to flow from his nose.
He turned around and grabbed Que Wuyi's hand. He shouted angrily,""You crafty beggar, have you had enough?”
Que Wuyi was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire as he glared at Chu Nanfeng." I'm a beggar. So what?" Wasn't a beggar a human? Wasn't the beggar's mother his mother? I only stole a bowl of chicken soup and stole a tael of silver, and you actually beat my mother to death? I must kill you to avenge my mother!”
She shouted angrily and kicked her feet around, especially at the important part of her crotch. She wanted Chu Nanfeng to have no descendants.
However, Chu Nanfeng was not someone to be trifled with. He retreated lightly and gracefully avoided Que Wuyi's attack. At the same time, he threw a gold ingot to Que Wuyi." Take it and help your mother take care of her funeral."”
Que Wuyi was stunned. He held the gold ingot and was speechless for a long time.
She glared at him." Yuan Bao? Why did you give me the ingot?"
Chu Nanfeng's lips twitched slightly." Didn't you steal and rob for your mother? Seeing that you are a filial daughter, I will give you this treasure. Bury your mother properly, understand?”
Who knew that Que Wuyi was still glaring at Chu Nanfeng. He then threw the ingot on the ground and stomped on it a few times with great force. With an arrogant expression, he said," Me!! No! Yes!"
This time, it was Chu Nanfeng's turn to be stunned." No? Why?"
Que Wuyi raised his head and said righteously and indignantly,"You killed my mother, and now you want to bribe me with a gold ingot? Is my mother's life only worth one ingot? No way! I don't want your filthy ingots. I want to kill you to avenge my mother!”
As he spoke, Que Wuyi pounced on Chu Nanfeng again and began to kick him around.
Chu Nanfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry! What was this? He had kindly spent a gold ingot to save this little girl and her mother, and then gave her a gold ingot to bury her mother. He did not expect her to not appreciate it, but instead, she wanted to take revenge on him? No wonder Third Brother always warned him not to meddle in other people's business, lest he get into trouble!
Chu Nanfeng grabbed the little girl's hand and pushed her back." You're so weird. You don't know what's good for you! Listen up, I didn't kill your mother. The ones who killed your mother were those villains at Shengfeng Inn. If you want to take revenge, go find them. Don't find me, a passerby!”
Que Wuyi did not know any martial arts at all. He only knew a few moves like fighting kittens, plus one or two life-saving moves, such as kicking his crotch, digging out his eyes, pinching his throat, pinching his heart, and sprinkling lime.
How could Que Wuyi withstand Chu Nanfeng's push? Immediately, he fell to the ground with his limbs facing the sky and did not move at all!
Chu Nanfeng was extremely astonished. He had only pushed her lightly, and this girl had already fallen to the ground? How was this possible? He didn't exert any force, so how could this girl faint like this?
Chu Nanfeng thought of how Que Wuyi had been beaten up by a group of people just now. Could it be because of her injuries…
With this thought, Chu Nanfeng hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to check Que Wuyi's breathing. Suddenly, Que Wuyi opened his eyes and reached into Chu Nanfeng's arms. He jumped up and shouted as he rushed out. "I've got it. Let's go!”
In the blink of an eye, Madam Ling, who was originally lying on the ground and was already dead, suddenly opened her eyes and crawled out. In an instant, she had already reached the entrance of the ruined temple. Just as she was about to escape, Chu Nanfeng's cold voice rang out in front of her!!
"Where do you want to go?"
Madam Ling was stunned. She subconsciously turned around and wanted to slip toward the back door of the ruined temple, but she was faster than Chu Nanfeng. In the blink of an eye, Chu Nanfeng was blocking her way again. "You want to leave? Explain the matter clearly before you leave!"
"I…I don't know anything. I'm just following orders. If you want to find her, go find her, not me!”Madam Ling kept retreating.
Chu Nanfeng snorted coldly and approached Madam Ling." Of course I will look for her, but I want to know who you are first. Why did he have the ability to fake his death?”
Madam Ling bit her lip and thought about how she could convince Chu Nanfeng." I really don't know anything. It's…it's that girl called Que Wuyi who begged me to say that her things were stolen by a bad person. She hoped that I could help her get it back and even gave me a pill. She wanted me to take the pill before I see you so that I could pretend to be dead and deceive you.”
"So you're not her mother?”
"No, I don't know her at all. She gave me fifty taels of silver and asked me to be her mother for three months.”
"So in the past three months, she went to the city every day to beg for food and pretend to be a beggar, right?”
"That's right! She said that if she wanted to pretend to be a beggar, she had to act more like one. She really gave me the things she got back. Actually, I didn't want to do this either, but she looked so cute and obedient. She looked very much like my dead daughter, so I agreed to her request!”
"Then what about those people at Shengfeng Inn?"
Madam Ling shook her head." I don't know them. Where did they come from? I really don't know them!”
Chu Nanfeng curled his lips coldly and took out a small green bottle from his bosom. He poured out two fragrant pills and placed them in his palm." Tell me first, what is the name of that devilish girl?”
"She said that her surname is Que and her name is Wuyi. She has no parents and no good clothes to wear since she was young. She was born to be a beggar.”
"What about you? What is your name? Where are you from? Where do you live?"
"I…I'm called Ling Xiu, from the Ling Village of Shili Pu outside the city.”
"Alright, do you know who I am?”
Ling Xiu shook her head while trembling." I…I don't know."”
"Is that so? No matter what, just listen carefully. I'm Chu Nanfeng, ranked second among the nine phoenixes of Dunhuang. I'm best at using and refining poison. These two pills were refined by me using five types of poisonous insects and five types of poisonous flowers. It took me 49 days to refine them. Now swallow the pill. If what you said is true, then when the one month time limit is up, I will naturally go to Ten Mile Shop to give you the antidote.
On the other hand, if you're lying, or if I can't find that girl within a month, then you'll be waiting for your intestines to be pierced and your family to collect your corpse!”
When Ling Xiu heard this, her face turned pale on the spot. Then, with a thud, she fell to the ground with her head facing the sky.#
