The sun sets.
The flow of people in the distance became less and less, and the market dispersed.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one came forward to tease the fool, the girl finally closed the stall.
Her face was full of disbelief, and she turned her head to look at Zhang Kun, who was lying on the ground with his eyes shining.
She quickly stuffed the coins into her pocket, glanced left and right like a thief, and then moved Zhang Kun under the sloping wall again.
It is protected from the wind and rain, and the shadows are scattered, so it is not very noticeable.
She has been hiding here for the past few days and has long regarded it as her home.
One day when the rice and water were gone, she was swaying slightly and her stomach was growling. She reached out and touched Zhang Kun's forehead, and then sniffed, with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.
"Wait a moment..."
The girl gritted her silver teeth and made a decision.
She tiptoed, hunched over and followed the wall, along the houses and shops, and hurriedly looked at Dongtou Long Street before leaving.
Zhang Kun opened his eyes, stared at the setting sun for a while, and fell asleep again.
…
When it got dark and the last ray of light was about to be swallowed up by the night, the girl hurried back.
She held a medicine jar in her arms and a water bag tied around her waist. The soot black marks on her face were mostly washed away by sweat, and her true face could be faintly revealed.
"You still have time."
Seeing Zhang Kun's eyelashes fluttering, the girl's eyes lit up and her face lit up with joy.
"Here, take the medicine."
She helped Zhang Kun up and called softly.
One hand quickly took out the small porcelain bowl and poured the medicine in the jar into the bowl. The aroma of the medicine was fragrant.
"So...you went to buy medicine?"
Zhang Kun said weakly.
For a moment, he thought the beggar girl had run away...
I never expected that after begging for hundreds of copper coins during the day, this girl would buy medicine instead of eating.
Judging from the shape of her pocket, the copper coins have almost been spent.
"Don't worry, this medicine was bought from Anrentang. It can cure wind and cold. Dr. Yang is kind-hearted and gave me the medicine at a cheap price.
My father said that although he came from a small place, his medical skills were comparable to those of an imperial doctor. He was very famous even here in the capital, and there would be no problem with the prescriptions he prescribed. "
When it comes to medicine and medicine, girls always have a strange sense of confidence and can speak a few more words.
"You...are indeed a fool."
Zhang Kun pulled his lips, laughed softly, coughed twice, and said: "Forget it, you can drink it by yourself. You were also caught in the rain last night. My body is useless after eating, it is a waste... …”
"If you don't want to drink it, just throw it away."
The girl's eyebrows were raised and she was angry.
Holding the bowl, I was shaking all over, and tears fell heavily.
Zhang Kun looked at her blankly for a while and then said: "Okay, I'll drink."
It didn't matter whether the medicinal soup was effective or not. What was important was that at the moment when the girl was angry, his eyes blurred, and the golden light appeared again. In the attribute column that had been silent, the "Dragon Qi" suddenly changed from 0 to 1.
A "+" suddenly appeared behind "Sanda" in the column of physical fitness, agility, spirit, skills, and martial arts.
This is?
He took a big gulp of the medicinal soup, which was warm and warm, and went right into his throat.
Zhang Kun's heart was filled with turmoil and excitement.
'This is how dragon energy comes from. '
Is it the girl's gratitude or dependence? Either to support each other or to worship.
It’s not necessary to distinguish them too clearly.
There is a saying in ancient times that the heart of heaven is the heart of the people, and the spirit of the dragon is the spirit of all people, which may be the heart of gratitude and trust.
From this point of view, I helped the beggar girl get money and buy food on a whim. This was feedback.
She contributed a little bit of dragon energy.
Perhaps because of the previous behavior of refusing to take medicine, or perhaps because of the fear of losing, under the agitation of emotions, he gave dragon energy. There is no need to delve into this.
At the Gate of the Void, Zhang Kun could clearly see that the progress bar had moved a little bit, reaching 0.1%, which was considered to be moving.
From this point of view, as long as you do more good deeds, wouldn't it be possible to infinitely improve your physical fitness, agility, etc., and become a little superman?
At the same time, it can also open the door to the void again...
Thinking of this, Zhang Kun couldn't wait. He focused his eyes on the + behind "Physique" and tried harder.
10 points of physical fitness turned into 11 points in the blink of an eye.
boom……
Zhang Kun's body was shaken violently.
His face also turned red.
He felt a wave of hot air, like an electric current, rushing to his heart and lungs, and also to his limbs. His strength returned, his mind regained clarity, and he breathed evenly and vigorously...
The injury actually healed.
The strength becomes greater and the physique becomes stronger.
Instant results.
He secretly clenched his fists.
A force gathered, causing the fingers to ache slightly.
Bones crackled softly.
The body is rejuvenated.
'It's true to increase your physical fitness. If your physical fitness is strong, your body will be strong, and it will naturally be difficult to get sick. The only thing I didn't expect was that while adding points, my injuries were actually cured...
Back in class, the monster's dying attack was so powerful that I broke at least three sternums and suffered serious heart and lung injuries. Now it's as if I had never been injured. '
Zhang Kun thought in disbelief, his heart filled with ecstasy.
Finally survived.
"Is this medicine so effective?" The girl was dumbfounded.
She was not blind, she was not far away, and she could see clearly.
The other party was obviously dying before, but as soon as the medicine entered his throat, a red light immediately hit his face, his breathing became less rapid, and his heart beat stronger.
The cloudy eyes also became clear.
It's a good sign at first glance.
I was in a daze, with so many things in my mind, and I didn't know how to speak, when I heard Zhang Kun say: "Let's change places, we can't stay here anymore."
"What?" The girl was confused.
"You asked for so many copper coins earlier. There are so many people and it's not safe..."
It is often said in the story that the beggar profession has never been easy to get along with.
Although Zhang Kun had been lying dead on the roadside before, he didn't do anything.
He secretly observed the pedestrians and listened to the conversations of many passing scholars and businessmen.
This should be the capital city, where the Queen Mother is in power and the Emperor is working hard to reform and reform.
I also heard about "failed naval battles", "ceding territory to pay compensation", and even heard some rumors about how "Easterners" and "Westerners" were arrogant and tyrannical.
Then there was chaos in various places. Rebels like the Red Lotus Sect and Xiaodao Society appeared. In Zhili, there was even more "Boxers".
There was internal and external troubles and chaos.
Zhang Kun understood immediately when he heard it. He had studied history in middle school. This must have been a time of troubled times in the late Qing Dynasty, when foreign powers invaded and the people were in dire straits.
At this time, Queen Mother Qixi was still aloof and ignored the sufferings of the people...
Li Zhongtang is like a paper framer, patching here today and patching there tomorrow. Doing nothing is surrendering.
Snowflakes and silver are like water to compensate foreigners.
At the moment when the country is being destroyed and the species is being destroyed, some people cry out loudly and some people can't sleep all night.
Of course, there are also people who fish in troubled waters and oppress the people.
At the bottom, there are even more demons dancing around, including everyone.
Needless to say, the begging profession in particular has had a bad reputation throughout the ages.
The strong wield their swords to slash at the weak, and the weak wield their swords to slash at the weaker.
This has been the case since ancient times.
During the day, although the little girl asked for not much money, she still had several hundred copper coins... At the current price, it was enough to buy more than thirty kilograms of good quality rice.
For wealthy people, this amount of money is just a casual reward. For ordinary people, this amount of money can allow a family of three to live well for a month.
Not to mention the beggars who have nothing. In their eyes, this is a huge sum of money.
The exposure of money is the original sin.
Especially when you don't have the power to protect yourself.
…
"right here."
A fierce and slightly proud voice sounded in his ears, and two figures appeared in the night.
Each holds a stick.
The girl was startled, looked back, and whispered: "It's him."
Zhang Kun also recognized it. The one on the left who spoke out was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. His head was wrapped in a piece of cloth, and there was faint blood oozing out.
At this moment, he was looking at himself full of hatred.
This person was the guy who was so drunk last night that he stripped off his school uniform and shoes in the heavy rain.
Next to him, there was a dark-skinned, muscular man in his early thirties.
The strong man has a sinewy face, a garlic nose, and a beard that grows untidyly on his cheeks. He looks a bit scary.
His eyes were fixed on the girl beggar, his Adam's apple moved, and he was obviously swallowing: "Money, half for each person, I want the girl."
"Brother Hei, as the incense owner said, I have some good stuff to bring back, and I can sell it for money..."
The thin man was a little unwilling.
"Stop talking nonsense, as long as you don't kill him, you can take him back."
The strong man chuckled, waved his stick, and moved forward with a fierce light in his eyes.
A skinny girl, a consumptive man lying on the ground unable to move, there is no one in the abandoned garden at night...
What else is there to hesitate about?
