Consciousness fluctuated in the chaos, his head was so painful that it was about to explode, his body was so heavy that it seemed that a huge boulder was pressed on it, and Xiao Qi couldn't move.

The dry thirst coming from her mouth and tongue still overwhelmed the drowsiness of drowsiness, she struggled to open her eyelids that seemed to be glued together, and saw the broken tiles on top of her head.

Several holes were broken in the middle of the layered blue-gray bricks, through which light came in. Following the meager light, her eyeballs turned slightly, and she looked around the surrounding environment.

A few Buddha statues with peeling paint, dilapidated and rickety stood aside. Things that were supposed to bring people hope and anticipation looked eerie and terrifying at this moment.

The walls were mottled, with stains attached to them, and the window paper was eroded by the wind and rain and lost its proper function. Right now, the wind was pouring in, making her shiver.

Blinking her eyes twice, her sight became clearer, and her five senses gradually recovered. There was dry and fluffy withered grass under her body, and a warm and soft thing resting on her head. This is——the ruined temple she lived in when she was young!

Xiao Qishun sat up in shock, and after returning to consciousness, she was accompanied by a soreness from the tip of her nose. She stared at the person who was holding her just now, and almost choked up and called out: "Sister?"

The voice was hoarse and subtle, but it also brought some unknown expectations.Fear of being a little louder and all this will no longer exist.

Is it a dream?She was obviously pierced by the spear and bled to death, even the God of Da Luo would not be able to recover from her injuries, but the real scene now does not seem to be fake.

Could it be that there is such a benefit after death, that you can see the person you miss the most in your heart again?

If she had known that this would not be a waste of effort, she had struggled in this world for several years, but in the end it was all in vain.

***

Rong Chu has not closed his eyes all night.

There was a heavy rain yesterday, the dock came again, and the cargo was in a hurry to get off. The salary was only five cents more than usual, so A Qi went to the dock with his back, drenched in the rain for two hours, and sent it after he came back. No matter how high the fever is called, I can't wake it up.

The money in her hand is not enough to buy a pair of decoctions, and there are few herbs growing around here, and she dare not let A Qi here alone, and go to a farther place to search.He could only dip a rag made of rags into water and apply it on A Qi's forehead. When the veil warmed up, he took it off and dipped it in water again, and wiped her body with cold water over and over again.

Thinking that I was studying medicine at a young age, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so I can only use the simplest method to cool her down.

Really useless!

The disdain for herself almost overwhelmed her.

It wasn't until dawn that Ah Qi's high fever subsided, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and put on her clothes again to avoid catching a cold.

I was exhausted all night, my nerves continued to be tense, I couldn't hold on after finishing this work, so I closed my eyes and waited for Ah Qi to wake up.

In just a few hours, she thought a lot, from panic, to worry, despair and helplessness, to relief.

To her, A Qi is probably the only light in the darkness. She dare not imagine what it would be like to walk alone in this world without A Qi.

As the daughter of the head of the imperial hospital, she grew up surrounded by the aroma of herbs since she was a child. After she was enlightened, she devoted herself to medical books and classics. What ordinary people call difficult and difficult to understand medical skills and pharmacology, she was excited about. to.My father often regretted that she was a woman and could not inherit the mantle of the Le family, but he still passed on what he had learned.A gentle and elegant mother, a father who laughed heartily, and a brother who studied with her...all of these ended at the age of 13.

The queen was seriously ill, the building was about to collapse, and her father failed to save her life.

The emperor laid down millions of dead bodies in a fit of anger, not empty talk.The angry emperor blamed the queen's death on the incompetence of the doctor, and ordered the whole family of the Le family to be executed.Of course, there were also several imperial doctors who had business affairs with my father, none of them were spared, and all of them were implicated in the nine clans.

Her mother sent her out overnight, and she escaped unharmed.However, the servant who escorted her saw that the master's family was killed, and no one was in control, so he secretly made money and abandoned her on the streets of Shangzhou.

She Le Rongchu swore that she would never touch the technique of Qihuang again. The doctor saved people, but she ended up in this situation.

He has been familiar with medical books since he was a child, and only focuses on this one, but other than that, he has no special skills, has no money, and his jewelry has been stolen, so he has nowhere to go.Both her parents were beheaded, she had no bondage, and there was no joy in living in this world, so she simply lay on the ground waiting to die.

When she was about to starve to death, she met A Qi.

The thin child with wolf-like eyes gave her the steamed buns in his hand.

***

The life of beggars on the street is not easy, it is full of open and secret struggles, which street is the easiest to get rewards, which street has the most dignitaries and dignitaries, everything depends on fighting, and those who can survive are hard-nosed and ruthless.

A Qi didn't have a name at first, and she had been wandering the streets since she could remember, not knowing how she got here, nor what to do.

Human life is nothing more than food and drink. She has no money, but she is born with infinite strength. Under the urging of primitive instinct, she competes with others for food, and she has to swallow the food that she has snatched. Vegetable leaves, Big pancakes, steamed buns... She doesn't care even if someone gnaws or stomps on her a few times, as long as she can eat them.How rich the food of street beggars can be, but only to fill their stomachs.

Later, she learned to beg like other people. She was thin and thin, but her eyes were amazingly bright. When others saw her, they would never have the heart to give some money or steamed buns.

He begs for food when he is hungry, and sleeps in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city when he is sleepy, but he has lived peacefully until now.

That day, she had just exchanged the two fen that she had begged for for two steamed buns, and it was rare for her to eat steaming, soft, sweet and fragrant food just out of the pan. This meal was a rare delicacy for her.

In the world of beggars, there is only scrambling. Generally, when there is food in hand, they will swallow it in twos and threes to prevent it from being robbed by others.

But by coincidence, after she got the steamed bun, she put it in her arms and didn't eat it.She walked the path she wouldn't normally take, and saw a girl lying in the corner, even though she looked like the beggars lying on the side of the road everywhere, she still exuded a different aura.

The man's eyes were closed, motionless, and there were some stains on his face.She is illiterate, there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness, no one taught her to speak, she doesn't know how to describe it, she just thinks that man makes her feel comfortable.

The clothes on the girl looked as good as those who gave her money in the past. A few steps away, there were two beggars staring at her, as if they were about to step forward to snatch her in the next moment.

So A Qi, who has always been only thinking about eating and never caring about other things, chased away the beggar who coveted the girl for the first time, and reluctantly parted with her, and gave the girl a steamed bun.

Since then, she has a home.

***

The girl taught her to speak, taught her to read, told her how to take a bath, and named her Qi.She called her, sister.

Sister knows too much.

She can tell by pinching her bones that she is two years younger than her; she will pick the grass that grows differently outside, boil it with fire and drink it, which she calls herbal medicine; she will also exchange the money she asks for corn, The porridge is stewed in a Napoleon pot. The porridge is much more delicious than steamed buns, and it will not choke.

A sister said, we are all girls, but we have to pretend to be boys, otherwise someone will bully us.A Qi didn't understand, but she was obedient and called her brother in front of others.

The money she collected was not enough for two people to eat and drink. She heard people chatting at the stalls on the street, saying that going to the wharf to do portering could earn ten renminbi a day.

The shopkeeper was reluctant to use such a skinny monkey-like kid like her at first, but she can carry three sacks of goods at a time, which is much more than those five big and three thick guys.Spending the same wages to do more work, the shrewd shopkeeper settled the bill and of course hired her.

Sister went to a restaurant to work as a servant, and she made money every day.

With more money, not to mention being able to eat enough, I can slowly save a little bit, and the days go by, the better.My sister said that when I save enough money, I can buy a yard, and we will no longer be beggars.

But later, sister died.

She was starved to death.

When A Qi was 15 years old.

There was a flood in Shangzhou City, drowning a lot of crops, and everyone was displaced. She only knew that there were more beggars on the street, the price of rice in the rice shop was higher, and the wages of the boss were getting lower and lower. In the end, sister I have no income with her.

I don’t know which officials have corrupted the government’s disaster relief silver taels. Anyway, after reaching the hands of the people, there is only a few clear rice gruel left, and they can’t eat enough.

After a few times, the porridge was no longer served.

People began to eat grass and peel bark, but later these were gone, and they could only eat soil.The soil is not tasty, but the feeling of being hungry is even more uncomfortable, as if there is a fire burning in the stomach.If you can't get out after eating the soil, those people's stomachs will swell and they will still die.

Elder Sister refused to let her eat soil, but gave her the bark that she secretly hid. She refused, but Elder Sister said that if she was full, she would have more strength to find food.

Elder Sister asked her to swear that she would try her best to survive.

With the bark she snatched back, what she saw was Ajie's body.

She lost her home again, and wandered around with the crowd for an unknown amount of time. When she reached a place where she could get enough food, she couldn't ask for money. She heard that people in the military camp could get enough food, so she joined the army.

Her natural strength made her invincible on the battlefield. After killing too many enemies, she became a general by accident.Her salary can buy a lot of food, but it can't be exchanged for sister.

The book says that if there is no war in the country and the people, there will be no people who can't eat enough.

So the only purpose of her life is to kill those enemies who burned, killed and looted, so that there will be fewer people like herself and sister in this world.

She sacrificed her life to save the prince because the emperor only had one son, and without an heir, the country would be ruined.She endured the humiliation and survived because this was the last wish of Ajie before she died.Didn't she also survive fighting vicious dogs and eating food that was trampled on?Nothing is difficult, as long as you are alive, there is still hope.

But in the end, she died at the hands of the people she desperately protected, in the backyard of the prince she guarded wholeheartedly.

***

Rong Chu heard A Qi's cry in a trance, she opened her eyes in surprise, and saw that the person who had been in a coma all night woke up.

"Aqi, you've finally woken up." She laughed, "You child, do you know how dangerous it is? You've had a fever all night, and you almost can't cool down. What if you have something to ask sister to do!"

There was a trembling sound while speaking, and she was so frightened all night, she wished she could beat up this brat, would she even give up her life for five cents? !

With some difficulty, Xiao Qi opened his arms and embraced Rong Chu: "Sister, I miss you so much, it's so hard for Ah Qi to live alone in this world, they, all of them bully me. I listen to you and live well. But they don't want me alive. I hurt so much, it hurts to be stabbed by a spear..."

She has been in the army for many years, and she has long been used to showing people a cold face, but she has suffered too many grievances. When she saw her sister, whom she hadn't seen for many years, she couldn't help but become incoherent.

"Aqi, are you confused, why are you talking nonsense?" Rong Chu frowned, don't let your brain get confused.

As she spoke, she thought of something again: "Speaking of this, you are not allowed to make up your own mind in the future, can you treat yourself as a body of iron? Don't let it rain again!"

"?" Xiao Qi was at a loss.

Rain, high fever, ruined temple, sister...

Everything is connected somewhere, is she—going back to the past? !

This was clearly the time when she was 15 years old, and she went to the pier to move goods in the rain for a few extra pennies.

Could it be that God really pitied her for being lonely all her life and gave her another chance?

Xiao Qi was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.Sister is still alive, and she is still alive, which is great.

Rong Chu reached out and pulled her from his arms, and touched her forehead with the back of his hand.Well, it's not hot anymore, it seems that the fever has subsided.

He picked up the broken pot that had been put aside a long time ago, and fed it to Xiao Qi's lips: "You are thirsty, drink some water, and drink the porridge later, and it will be better after a few more days."

Xiao Qi greedily swallowed the sweet water, his smoldering throat was finally rescued, like rain after a long drought.

She thought, she was back to the best time, sister-in-law hadn't died yet, everything hadn't started yet.

She still has a chance to stop everything from happening.
