"It's okay, I'm rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so I'll be fine." Xiao Liu waved his hand, not caring if he had a high fever. Although he feels very uncomfortable now, he can still bear it.
After looking at the group of children behind her, Qiao Linxi made a decision: "Let's rest in front for a while. I think we are approaching Baiyun City. There should be a doctor there."
Since Qiao Linxi agreed to take Xiao Liu with her, she would do her best to take care of him.
"It costs money to see a doctor, but Miss Lin Xi doesn't have to spend any money."
"It's okay. It's just money. It's not life. Since you asked me to take you with me, I have to be responsible for you. Just stay calm and let me figure out the rest."
Looking at the mature and steady Qiao Linxi, Xiao Liu felt a little moved. This was the first time he met someone who didn't ask about his identity or seek benefits from him, but only cared about him.
Not long after walking, Qiao Linxi saw the city gate. Sure enough, it was the same as what she saw on the map, called Baiyun City.
After arranging several children, Qiao Linxi also specifically asked Qiao Linbao to keep an eye on the other children. He was the eldest boy, and Qiao Linxi had high hopes for him. Even if he was not her biological brother, she hoped that he could be the leader of the Qiao family on his own.
Originally, Qiao Linbao was going to follow Qiao Linxi into the city, but Qiao Linxi was worried that there were no boys in the children's army. She was worried that someone would bully the girls. As for Xiao Liu, she didn't expect anything from him. They are just passers-by, and it is unknown how long they can walk together.
"Miss Lin Xi, look at what you said. Although I am injured, I am still an adult man. I will never sit idly by while someone bullies your younger siblings. Don't worry, since you are asking a doctor for me. , then I will take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."
When Xiao Liu saw that he was being ignored by Qiao Linxi, the man's pride began to take hold. Although he was injured but not dead, he still had the ability to protect several children.
"Then there is Mr. Lao Xiaoliu. Wait for me to go into the city and see if there is anything to eat. If there is, I will try to bring some back."
As soon as they heard that Qiao Linxi would bring food back, all the children cheered and said that they would wait for Qiao Linxi to come back.
Qiao Linxi looked at the lunch box in her system. Eight steamed buns had been produced. It should be no problem to bribe the city guard with one steamed bun.
Looking at Qiao Linxi's retreating back, Xiao Liu realized that this girl's clothes were very big, and they were men's clothes, which looked a bit familiar.
"Brother Lin Bao, your sister's clothes don't seem to be hers. I don't think they fit well." Xiao Liu asked, looking at Qiao Linbao who was looking at Qiao Linxi's back with a squinting eye.
"Oh, that belongs to Mr. Zhao. My sister's clothes were torn by those refugees when she was in a previous city."
"Mr. Zhao?" Xiao Liu's heart skipped a beat. Is it that Mr. Zhao?
Qiao Linbao didn't say much, but went to count the number of people. Seventeen of them were all there neatly.
Seeing that Qiao Linbao didn't say much, Xiao Liu stopped asking. Although he said there was no need to call a doctor, he felt really uncomfortable. All the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and he also had a splitting headache. He also held on to the girl.
The sun above the head seemed to be scorching the entire earth, making people feel like they were in a furnace. The burning of the sun even made people smell the smell of burned clothes. It didn't take long for Xiao Liu to fall asleep.
In his confusion, Xiao Liu seemed to hear some quarrel. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Qiao Linbao standing in front of him, arguing with several people.
Qiao Linbao opened his hand to stop the burly men in front of him: "No, you can't pass."
"Hey, you are a hairless boy, do you know what this is? How dare you stop me?"
The other party was wearing linen and holding a shining sword in his hand: "I told you, I know the person on the cart, and he is his... friend, why are you so stubborn?"
"My sister said that no one is allowed to approach my sister Xiao." Qiao Linbao was really afraid of these people. They were grown men with swords in their hands, and they were not good people. But Qiao Linxi had ordered not to let anyone get close to Xiao Liu. Even if Qiao Linbao was afraid, he would still carry out Qiao Linxi's order.
"Sister Xiao...???" Tong Yu looked at the boy in front of him in confusion. The child was not even taller than his waist. How could he have the courage to stop him.
Also, isn't this his Master Xiao? When did you become Sister Xiao?
Qiao Linbao puffed up her chest and said firmly: "Well, Qiao Linxiao, our eldest sister."
"this is not……"
Tong Yu looked at Xiao Liu and thought he was seriously injured. He didn't care about the little kid and stretched out his hand to pull him away. Unexpectedly, the hand he stretched out was actually bitten.
"You little brat," Tong Yu threw Qiao Linbao away in pain, his arms were bleeding, "You're so cruel, believe it or not, I'll chop you with a knife."
Tong Yu was also anxious. Xiao Liu had a distinguished status and could not tolerate any mistakes. As he spoke, he raised his sword and struck Qiao Linbao.
"Ahem..."
Xiao Liu saw the person clearly and pretended to cough. Tong Yu felt relieved when he saw that his master was awake. Just when he was about to speak, he saw the look in his master's eyes.
Xiao Liu winked and told Tong Yu and the others to leave. Although Tong Yu was worried about Xiao Liu, he could only obey the order and stepped aside with the others.
"Okay, I want to see what kind of fairy your sister is and make you risk your life to listen to her."
Tong Yu covered his arms and stood not far away, looking at Qiao Linbao, and thought to himself: This guy is a bit brave, and he is very cruel. If he can be trained well, he might become a talent.
On the other side, Qiao Linxi arrived at the city gate. Compared to the previous city, this place was better and there were no refugees. However, you still have to pay the city fee to enter the city. Qiao Linxi can understand this. This is equivalent to the highway toll gate in her world. As long as it is not too outrageous, she can accept it.
"It costs ten cents to enter the city."
Qiao Linxi planned to repeat her old tricks and see if she could get into the city for free with her acting skills.
Thinking like this, Qiao Linxi secretly pinched her thigh, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
With tears in her beautiful eyes, she looked pitifully at the officer guarding the city: "Master, my eldest sister is critically ill and urgently needs a doctor. Can you please be tolerant?"
Although Qiao Linxi has never looked in the mirror, she knows that she must be very good-looking. Just look at her four younger brothers and sisters, who are all pretty.
Good-looking people are popular everywhere, and Qiao Linxi doesn't want to use a honey trap, but she has no choice.
Unexpectedly, the official didn't take her at all and said with a straight face: "No, it's ten cents to enter the city. If you have money, go in. If you don't have money, get out."
