I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters
Chapter 23 Asking for a Doctor
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned, nothing will happen to me." Xiao Liu waved his hands, not caring if he had a high fever. Although he felt very uncomfortable now, he could still bear it.
Looking at the group of children behind him, Qiao Linxi made a decision: "Let's go to the front and rest for a while. I think we are almost at 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 hire a doctor, Miss Lin Xi, you don't have to spend any money."
"It's okay. I just want money, not my life. Since you asked me to take you with me, I have to be responsible for you. You stay here and I will 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. It was exactly the same as what she saw on the map, called Baiyun City.
After arranging for several children, Qiao Linxi also specifically asked Qiao Linbao to look after the other children. He was the eldest boy, and Qiao Linxi had high hopes for him. Even though he was not her biological brother, she hoped that he could stand on his own and shoulder the responsibility of the Qiao family.
Originally, Qiao Linbao was going to follow Qiao Linxi into the city, but Qiao Linxi was worried about the lack of boys in the army. She was worried that someone would bully the girls. As for Xiao Liu, she didn't expect anything from him. He was just a passerby, and it was unknown how long they could walk together.
"Miss Lin Xi, look at what you said. Although I am injured, I am still an adult man. I will not sit idly by and watch someone bully your brothers and sisters. Don't worry, since you are going to ask for a doctor for me, I will take good care of your brothers and sisters."
When Xiao Liu saw that Qiao Linxi ignored him, his manly pride began to take over. He thought that he was injured, not dead, and he still had the ability to protect several children.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xiao Liu. I'll go into the city and see if there's any food. If there is, I'll try to bring some back."
When they heard that Qiao Linxi would bring back food, all the children cheered and said that they would wait for Qiao Linxi to come back.
Qiao Linxi looked at the lunch box in his system. Eight steamed buns had been produced. It should be no problem to bribe the officials guarding the city with one steamed bun.
Watching Qiao Linxi's back gradually moving away, Xiao Liu realized that this girl's clothes were very big and were men's clothes, and they looked a little familiar.
"Brother Lin Bao, your sister's clothes don't seem to be hers. I think they don't fit well." Xiao Liu asked Qiao Linbao, who was staring at Qiao Linxi's back.
"Oh, that belongs to Mr. Zhao. My sister's clothes were torn by the refugees when she was in the last 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. There were seventeen of them, all present and in good order.
Seeing that Qiao Linbao didn't say much, Xiao Liu stopped asking. Although he said that there was no need to see a doctor, he was really feeling very uncomfortable. All the bones in his body felt like they were broken, and he had a splitting headache. He was also holding on when facing the girl.
The sun above seemed to be scorching the entire earth, making people feel like they were in a furnace. The scorching sun even made people smell the smell of burning clothes. Soon, Xiao Liu felt drowsy.
In a daze, Xiao Liu seemed to hear some quarreling. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw Qiao Linbao standing in front of him, arguing with several people.
Qiao Linbao opened his hands to stop the burly men in front of him: "No, you can't go through."
"Hey, you little idiot, do you know what this is? How dare you stop this?"
The man was wearing sackcloth and holding a shining sword in his hand. "I've already told you that I know the man on the cart, and he's his... friend. Why are you so stubborn, kid?"
"My sister said that no one is allowed to get close to my sister Xiao." Qiao Linbao was really afraid of these people. They were adult men with swords in their hands. They were not good people at first glance. But Qiao Linxi had ordered not to let anyone get close to Xiao Liu. Even though Qiao Linbao was afraid, he had to follow Qiao Linxi's orders.
“Sister Xiao…???” Tong Yu looked at the boy in front of him in confusion. The boy was not even as tall as his waist, so where did he get the courage to stop him.
Also, isn't this his Master Xiao? When did she become Sister Xiao?
Qiao Linbao puffed out his chest and said firmly, "Yes, Qiao Linxiao, our eldest sister."
"this is not……"
Tong Yu saw that Xiao Liu must be seriously injured, so he didn't care about the little brat and stretched out his hand to pull him away. Unexpectedly, his hand was bitten.
"You little brat," Tong Yu pushed Qiao Linbao away in pain, his arm bleeding, "You bit me pretty hard, believe it or not, I'll chop you to pieces with my knife."
Tong Yu was also anxious. Xiao Liu was of noble status and could not afford any mistakes. As he spoke, he was about to raise the sword in his hand and chop at Qiao Linbao.
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Liu saw who was coming and pretended to cough. Tong Yu was relieved to see that his master had woken up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the look in his master's eyes.
Xiao Liu signaled 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 that makes you obey her even at the risk of your life."
Tong Yu stood not far away, covering his arm with his hands, and looked at Qiao Linbao, thinking to himself: This kid is quite courageous, and he is ruthless. If he can be trained well, he might become a talented person.
On the other side, Qiao Linxi came to the city gate. Compared with the previous city, this place was better and there were no refugees. However, one still had to pay an entrance fee to enter the city, which Qiao Linxi could understand. This was equivalent to the toll gate on the highway in her world. As long as it was not too outrageous, she could accept it.
"It's ten cents to go into the city."
Qiao Linxi planned to use the same trick again to see if she could use her acting skills to get into the city for free.
Thinking of this, Qiao Linxi pinched her thigh secretly, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked pitifully at the official guarding the city: "Sir, my elder sister is critically ill and needs a doctor urgently. Can you please be lenient with her?"
Although Qiao Linxi had never looked in the mirror, she knew that she must be very good-looking. Just look at her four younger brothers and sisters, they all have handsome features.
Good-looking people are popular everywhere. Qiao Linxi doesn't want to use the beauty trap, but there is nothing she can do.
Unexpectedly, the officer didn't buy her trick at all and said sternly: "No, it costs ten coins to enter the city. If you have money, you can enter. If you don't have money, get out."
