Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

The beggar didn't look that big, and he didn't have any skin on his body. Now he had a fever and was about to die soon.

Seeing him like this, Shi Qing remembered her promise to help Sister Qiao do more good deeds, and was no longer in a hurry to find a warehouse.

She raised her head and looked around, but she didn't see the ghostly figure outside Yuan Yuan.

"Forget it, it's more important to save people."

Shi Qing brought the water from the carriage and gave him some water to drink, but the little beggar clenched his teeth and could no longer drink any water.

"If someone helps me hold his teeth, maybe I can get some water in."

Shi Qing suddenly thought of Wang Ren again.

Originally, she planned to let her uncle, Wang Ren, fend for himself, but now she wanted to save people, but she happened to be missing a helper.

Shi Qing tried to clench her fists again. She felt much better than when she first woke up, but she hadn't eaten enough and her strength was limited now.

But if Wang Ren can be tied up and asked to help, maybe he can be thrown into the town first. At least the chance of survival would be greater this way. She didn't believe he wouldn't agree.

Shi Qing simply took the beggar and went to find Wang Ren again, but Yuan Yuan did not see the ghost here anymore.

Walking back, Shi Qing was always distracted by looking at the beggar, so she didn't notice anything unusual on the road.

When he saw Wang Ren again from afar, Wang Ren lost all his energy this time and just agreed casually, saying that he wanted to change his mind.

"Are you serious about what you say?"

Shi Qing looked at him sideways, "If you really change your mind, I can save you. I have a beggar here. As long as I save him, I can spare you!"

"Yes! Don't say one, I will save even ten of them. I won't have any bad intentions in the future."

Seeing how pitifully he was crying, Shi Qing finally felt compassion when she thought that he was Qiaojie's maternal uncle.

It's better to give him a chance. If he does it again, it won't be too late to kill him.

My relatives always hurt me the most, but I couldn't help but give him a chance.

Sure enough, as soon as the rope tied to the pillar was untied, Wang Ren started to have fun, repeatedly asked not to be tied up anymore, worked hard, and did not dislike beggars being dirty.

This is completely different from the original one.

Also, Wang Ren has not yet sold Qiao Jie and is completely heartbroken, so it is still worth saving.

"I'll get a gourd of water and boil it for him to drink!"

The return of Sister Qiao makes Wang Ren very motivated. He used to love children, but the situation is stronger than people. After all, it is the evil world that forces people to become bad.

"Ok!"

Sister Qiao was not afraid that he would run away. It was already dusk, and Wang Ren would get lost in the night even if he ran.

The two waited for the water to boil, then let it cool and asked the beggar to drink more water. Perhaps because of the poor life, the beggar's high fever gradually subsided.

"Amitabha! I have also built a seven-level pagoda!"

Wang Ren bared his big teeth and smiled at Shi Qinghan, "I'll get some more water and wipe him a few times to make him clean."

"I heard the imperial doctor say before that you can lower the fever by wiping your armpits!"

Wang Ren rushed to the waterside excitedly.

The prodigal son returned with gold, so Shi Qing knitted a straw mat and saw that he had a good face, "Watch the water and be careful."

She was just looking at the little beggar, making random guesses about his identity while weaving, when Wang Ren suddenly ran over with a gourd of water.

"Brother Qiao! Drive away quickly, there are thieves here!"

Just as Shi Qing became alert, he saw a knife flying out of the darkness and stabbing Wang Ren in the light of the fire.

"The nest is down! The uncle is down in the nest!"

Wang Ren lay down and saw the knife flying over Wang Ren's head and inserting into the grass in front of him.

Another head with a messy beard crawled out of the dark bushes. He looked towards the fire, only to find Shi Qing, and he burst out laughing.

"Brother! Where are there many people? Here is a weak-footed man and a hairy girl!"

The visitor parted the tree and walked out. He didn't look rich in his dress, but he had big shoulders and a round waist, making him a very strong man.

At this time, such a strong man is rare.

As soon as he finished speaking, a few more heads popped up in twos and threes around them. They were all wearing colorful clothes, some were tacky, some were hemp, all draped on their bodies, and they looked like they were full of gangster aura.

"Sister Qiao!"

Seeing this, Wang Ren didn't dare to run away. He crawled up to Shi Qing and covered her up while trembling.

"Dear heroes, we are just a family of flesh and blood. We have no food and no money. Please, heroes, please spare our poor lives!"

Wang Ren trembled, feeling like he could shake off any coquettish spots.

"Bah! Soft-footed shrimp, are you a robber?"

"Haha! Although we have done this before!"

Another voice interfaced. He checked the fire in front of Shi Qing and found that it was only heating water, so he really believed Wang Ren's words.

Shi Qing only watched them gather with cold eyes. There were more than a dozen men in total, all armed with weapons. It could not be said that they were not bandits.

People like them have bodies that ordinary people cannot afford to support in troubled times.

Someone took advantage of the firelight to lift Shi Qing's chin to see the person's mouth.

"Brother, the two people here are from wealthy families, and their teeth are not bad at all!"

He patted Wang Ren away and looked at Shi Qing alone, "My little girl is pretty, how about brother Qiao? Isn't this the first lady?"

He raised his hand to touch Shi Qing's face.

"Who are you?"

Shi Qing saw that among the dozen or so people, eight or nine had chaotic auras, as if they had eaten human flesh, and did not dare to be tough anymore.

After she reacted before, she was able to escape, but her uncle and the beggar on the ground were in trouble.

Fortunately, Shi Qing was bored and felt the grass was wet, so she just made a long grass mat. Before all the people got close, she blocked them behind her and threw a straw mat to cover them.

It’s good that few people will suffer this time!

"Humph! We are regular troops."

One of the men finished speaking, causing a burst of laughter.

They probably don't think they are good people themselves, that's why they laugh so obscenely.

"Okay! Never seen a woman?"

The most rugged man in the middle came over and looked at Sister Wang Renqiao up and down for a few times. After seeing that she was indeed a weakling with no strength, he sat down next to the fire.

"Okay! I'm just going to lend you a hand. I have business to do, but I don't have time to joke around here."

He winked at his men, and two of them quietly went out, walked around, and brought back two skins of water, which they also tied to a tree branch and burned.

Then two more people went out and ambush beside the stream.

"You! Go get water for our brothers!"

A gangster kicked Wang Ren and rushed out. Wang Ren stood up in a daze and was about to follow suit.

"Uncle, I'm afraid!"

Shi Qing dragged Wang Ren with all her strength. These people didn't bring any food.

She and Wang Ren didn't go to the city because of a conflict, but this group of people were so embarrassed, why didn't they go to the city?

It's not far from the new city.

"Both of these two sheep have fine skin and tender meat. They can be eaten even when roasted."

Shi Qing's ears can hear from a distance. When she saw the two of them going out quietly before, she listened intently.

Now I hear them talking about sheep again... but I don't see any sheep around!

His words are self-evident without thinking.
