Chapter 2 Beggars

In the second year of Yongxi reign of the Song Dynasty, King Zhao Guangyi of Jin changed his name to Zhao Jiong, and he had succeeded to the throne for nearly ten years.

Within ten years, the Song army defeated the princes in the south and destroyed the Han Dynasty in the north. It finally ended the nearly 90 years of war between feudal vassals and towns since the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, and once again unified China.

Jingzhao Mansion, Xingping Town.

In the northwest corner of the town, there is a remote, damp and dark dilapidated house. A pale old beggar is huddled on a straw mat in the back room, coughing up mouthfuls of bloody phlegm from his mouth from time to time.

The old beggar reluctantly raised his head, looked at the young man standing next to him, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have only one life, so you don't have to worry about me. If you continue to be dragged down by me like this, no girl can like you. You are only eighteen."

He’s so old.”

The young man in front of him was eight feet tall and quite handsome. He was the child that the old beggar picked up from the river. At that time, the child had been suffering from fever and coma. The old beggar begged for help and took good care of him to save him.

It seems to have been burned out and all memory has been lost.

The old beggar had been lonely all his life, and he always regarded the child as his own son. Then he spent a copper coin and asked a fortune teller for a name, Lin Ye.

The fortune teller said that this name would bring great fortune. Whether it was true or false, the old beggar was very happy anyway and felt that his money was not wasted.

The two had lived together in Xingping Town for more than ten years. Although the old beggar was not in good condition, he managed to send Lin Ye to a private school by picking up garbage and doing odd jobs.

I have been a beggar all my life, and I will never let Lin Ye go his own way again. However, after more than ten years of hard work, I finally collapsed from exhaustion. Since the spring of this year, I have been paralyzed in bed and cannot afford to fall ill.

Lin Ye looked at the old beggar silently and whispered: "Have a good rest, I will be back soon."

Before the old beggar could reply, Lin Ye had already turned around and walked out of the house, heading towards the pharmacy in the town.

"Um?"

Outside the door of the pharmacy, Lin Ye, who was always attentive, noticed that there were several burly men with indifferent faces sitting in the stalls on the roadside. They glanced at the door of the pharmacy from time to time, not knowing what they were looking for.

Lin Ye thought for a moment and then thought no more. He was not a lively person, so he quickly walked into the pharmacy.

At the front desk of the pharmacy, a wrinkled old man was carefully weighing the medicinal materials for the customers, then wrapping them up and delivering them. He looked at Lin Ye coming in and said with a smile: "Boy Lin, I thought you were coming, how about it?"

, is your old man Lin feeling better?"

"Just like that, it seems like he won't survive much longer."

The old man was not surprised by Lin Ye's tone, and sighed to himself: "It's all hard work. I've also seen old man Lin's illness. There is really no way for us people to save him, and it will be too late if we delay it any longer."

If you end up losing both your life and wealth, Amber advises you to give up."

Lin Ye didn't say anything. He took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it on the table: "Stop talking nonsense and get some medicine. I think you want me to come here every day to buy medicine."

This is a dark green jade pendant. There seems to be a faint dragon pattern formed naturally inside the jade. It is worth a lot at first glance.

Amber said in surprise: "Isn't this the only thing left to you in your family? Without it, how can you find your biological father and mother?"

Lin Ye waved his hand: "I have never met my biological father or mother. Who knows whom? However, if they are rich, it is not impossible to consider it."

Amber shook his head: "You really don't have a good word in your mouth. That's all. I'll keep this jade pendant Amber for you first. Come and get it when the medicine is gone. From now on, as long as you pay off the money for the medicine, this jade pendant Amber will

I’ll give it back to you.”

Lin Ye was silent for a moment and said softly: "Thank you, Amber."

Amber smiled and said, "I have watched you grow up, and I still believe in your character."

Lin Ye shook his head and said, "Oh, sometimes I don't believe in myself."

Amber just smiled without replying, and began to patiently weigh the medicinal materials for Lin Ye, then wrapped them and handed them over.

Lin Ye took the medicine bag and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Amber: "You have some medicinal materials in this bag that can treat trauma, clear away heat and detoxify. People from outside will stop you. Go through the small door on the east side of the backyard.

I asked my assistant to look at it and there was no one squatting there."

Amber was probably talking about the burly men sitting at the stalls. Lin Ye was surprised and asked: "Who are they?"

Amber shook his head: "Who knows? Anyway, it's either the government or the famous people. We ordinary people can't get involved in these disputes. Just don't affect the business of the drug store."

"That's true. I'm leaving first, Amber."

Lin Ye walked out of the pharmacy along the small door. This was a remote and difficult deep alley. It was difficult for outsiders to find it. However, Lin Ye had lived here for more than ten years. There was no road in the town that Lin Ye didn't know.

.

Lin Ye walked through the house alleys with ease and walked quickly towards home. After running through the second intersection, Lin Ye's body suddenly stiffened.

In the dark place of the deserted street on his right side, Lin Ye noticed a pair of eyes. It was a pair of eyes that made people feel chilled all over. This was the feeling of being stared at!

Lin Ye had a bad premonition in his heart and quickly turned towards the crowded market, but the sound of footsteps coming from the direction behind him was getting closer and closer.

Sure enough, he is staring at me. What on earth does this person want to do?

Lin Ye's face was gloomy, his steps were getting faster and faster, and finally he started running straight away, but a pair of hands grabbed his medicine bag at this moment.

"Give me the medicine!!"

They are really targeting me, where did this little thief come from!!

Without thinking, Lin Ye turned around and rushed towards him. What caught his eye was a muscular man about the same height as him in a black robe. After the man in the black robe grabbed the medicine package, he no longer had any intention of entangled with Lin Ye and easily dodged it.

After Lin Ye's attack, he turned around and left.

"Asshole, leave me the medicine!"

Lin Ye used the wall in front of him to turn around and continue to pounce on the man in black robes, hugging his thigh tightly.

"Give me the medicine!"

The man in black robe hesitated, but he still hit Lin Ye's neck with one hand. Lin Ye's body was shaken, and he felt dizzy in front of his eyes. He knelt directly on the ground, but he still hugged the right leg of the man in black robe tightly.

"Damn it... why don't you go and ask around... In this town of Xingping, who dares to steal my things!!"

Lin Ye bit the opponent's thigh. The man in black robe screamed in pain and slapped Lin Ye's neck with his right hand again. The power of this blow was far beyond the previous one. Lin Ye spit out a mouthful of blood.

.

"Let go!!"

A very young voice came out. The young man in black robe was obviously a little angry, and his hands lost their weight. He punched Lin Ye one after another. The heavy bombardment echoed through the alley, and Lin Ye's mouth kept flowing.

Blood, but just won't let go.

Suddenly, Lin Ye slowly raised his head, and blood filled Lin Ye's eyes, which was so ghostly and ghostly that the black-robed young man was slightly shaken and stopped punching his fist for a moment.

"Give me the medicine...!!"

Lin Ye suddenly rose up and punched the young man in black robe, so fast!

The face of the young man in black robe changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hand to block it, but a burst of blood-red energy instantly exploded in Lin Ye's palm. The terrifying red light directly engulfed half of the young man in black robe, sending him flying to the ground.

On the ground, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Raising his head, the young man in black robe looked at Lin Ye in disbelief. At this time, Lin Ye had passed out on the ground, but his right hand had already snatched the medicine bag in his hand and refused to let go.
