The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Qi's sudden change of words surprised the little beggar, who kowtowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Song Hao took the little beggar to the nearest clinic. In fact, Song Hao's skills were very good, and the horse did not hit the little beggar. After a careful examination, the doctor found that only the wound on the head was bleeding and a little serious. After cleaning and bandaging, he let Song Hao take the people away.

After listening to Song Hao's report, Yang Qi said in the car: "Let's go." Let's see where that little beggar is taking us.

Yang Qi thought he was going to the suburbs, but he didn't expect that the place the little beggar took him to was actually in the inner city. After getting off the carriage, Yang Qi looked at the scene on the street and was a little shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.

When teaching Yang Qi, Nanny Zhu paid great attention to cultivating Yang Qi's temperament and capacity, and kept giving feedback to Yang Qi, telling him not to be distracted by trivial matters and to try his best not to change his color before a disaster.

Walking forward, I didn't expect that there was such a dilapidated place in the city. The alley was very narrow, just wide enough for a carriage to pass. On the road, there were hungry, sallow and skinny beggars everywhere.

Yang Qi's appearance in this alley was truly a strange sight, attracting quite a few people's attention.

The little beggar brought Yang Qi and his group to a dilapidated house and said, "Miss, this is my home."

Yang Qi took a look and thought that the so-called dilapidated house was actually just a thatched hut. Could this thatched roof withstand the wind and rain?

As soon as they entered the shed, they were hit by a strange smell. Yang Qi was wearing a veil, so it was hard to see his expression. However, Song Hao felt like vomiting, but after looking at Yang Qi who looked normal, he could only suppress the nausea in his heart.

It’s not that Yang Qi didn’t smell the strange odor in the shed, but the place where he was burned to death in his previous life was only slightly better than this.

At the innermost of the thatched hut lay an old beggar in thin clothes, so thin that his bones were just visible. Yang Qi couldn't help but shook his head. Even if he couldn't leave today, he could always be taken away if he had any minor illness or pain in the future.

The young beggar came forward and hugged the old beggar in the straw hut: "Miss, I beg you, please save my master."

"Master?" Yang Qi said the first words after entering the alley.

The little beggar's eyes were wet. He looked at the weak master and cried, "I am an orphan. It was the master who saved me and gave me food. I beg you, young lady, to save my master."

Yang Qi taught himself medical skills, but now he is not able to diagnose anyone. The old beggar's symptoms are very similar to those described in "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases": "For patients with solar disease, headache and fever, body pain, back pain, joint pain, aversion to wind, no sweat and wheezing, Mahuang Decoction is the main treatment."

Yang Qi said to the little beggar: "What's your name?"

The little beggar was expecting Yang Qi to say something, but unexpectedly, he just asked his name: "I don't have a name. Others call my master the old beggar, so they call me the little beggar."

Yang Qi thought for a moment and said, "From now on, I will call you Fang Hua. Although it is not appropriate for me to give you a direct name, it is better than calling you a little beggar all the time."

Then, Yang Qi said to Song Hao who was standing beside him, "Song Hao, go to Guangming Pharmacy and tell Doctor Li to boil some Ma Huang Tang and bring some common typhoid fever medicines."

Song Hao was a little anxious when she heard Yang Qi say this: "Miss, how can Song Hao leave you here alone? This is too unsafe."

Yang Qi looked at the people at the door and nodded: "Fang Hua, are you going to come with us, or stay here to take care of your master?"

Fang Hua knew what Yang Qi and Song Hao were worried about. Not all people in this alley were good people. "I'll go with you. When the time comes, I can come back by myself."

Doctor Li was specially assigned to Guangming Pharmacy by Xu's family. They thought that when Zong Yue came back, Doctor Li could also return to his original pharmacy. But they didn't expect that Zong Yue had been gone for so long.

Doctor Li was originally a doctor in Xu's Clinic. Now he is in Yang Qi's Guangming Pharmacy. Many people recognize him. Coupled with the good reputation that Zong Yue had established at the beginning, the business of this pharmacy is becoming more and more prosperous.

Yang Qi entered the shop and told Doctor Li about the old beggar's condition in detail. Doctor Li also asked Fang Hua about all the matters in detail, and then went to boil the medicine first.

Yang Qi took Fang Hua to the backyard and said, "Can you tell me what's going on in this alley?"

How could there be such a poor street in the inner city where every inch of land is valuable?

Fang Hua knew that Yang Qi had questions. Since the master fell ill, Yang Qi was the first and only person to lend a helping hand, so he told him everything he knew: "My master and I were originally begging in Xihu, but there were too many bandits near Xihu. My master was worried that something might happen to Xihu, so he brought me to the capital to beg, hoping to have a meal in this most prosperous place in the Tianyuan Dynasty."

After a pause, Fang Hua continued, "But the beggars in the Tianyuan Dynasty are also organized, called Blue Sticks. At first, Master took me to beg near the restaurant, but was soon driven away by Blue Sticks, who said we were occupying their territory. Master and I hadn't eaten for a long time, so we had a quarrel with Blue Sticks, but Blue Sticks actually pushed Master into the lake. Ever since Master came out of the lake, he has been having a fever, and after a few days, the situation has become worse and worse."

Fang Hua wiped the tears from her face and said, "Miss, I really have no other choice. Apart from stealing and robbing, I really have no other way to make money. But my master is waiting for this money to save his life."

Although Yang Qi felt some sympathy for Fang Hua at first, he never thought of helping Fang Hua later. Although Fang Hua was younger, he had hands and feet. As long as he was willing, he would not starve to death if he started as an apprentice: "Fang Hua, let me ask you again, what's going on in the alley?"

Fang Hua was shocked when he heard Yang Qi's words. He thought Yang Qi was kind-hearted since she could treat his master. He also thought that he could get more money from Yang Qi and tell her all about his suffering. But it seemed that this lady was not moved by him.

Fang Hua hesitated for a while before speaking: "Miss, this alley is called Bibo Lane. It was originally a wealthy place, but some major incidents happened a few years ago, and all the people in Bibo Lane disappeared at once. Later, people living in Bibo Lane met with accidents one after another. Therefore, everyone spread the rumor that this alley was unlucky, and over time, the alley became empty. We, who had nowhere else to go, occupied this alley."
