Chapter 197 The Special Beggar

When the beggar arrived at Shangliu Village, there were still quite a few people at the village entrance.

Most of the people were just there to watch the spectacle. They were mostly from neighboring villages or nearby Huaiping County. They had heard that the orphanage had been built and were curious to see it.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to get in; there were yamen runners guarding the village entrance.

The orphanage isn't an exhibition hall. What if so many people go in and scare the children? So everyone could only chatter at the village entrance, and several children were quietly asking about the orphanage's conditions for accepting children.

The beggar was also mixed in with the crowd, but the more he listened, the more desolate his expression became.

He stepped out of the crowd, looked around, and suddenly rushed into a weakly guarded area.

However, he had only taken a few steps inside when a constable caught up with him from behind, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and scolded him with a frown, "What are you doing? Who told you to sneak in? Get out of here, or I won't be polite."

The beggar turned his head and immediately revealed a fawning smile, "Sir, I didn't mean to do anything bad. I just heard that the orphanage has opened, so I brought a child to you."

The constable frowned. "What child?"

The beggar turned slightly to the side and opened the front of his clothes a little.

Only then did the constables realize that a child was tied up inside his large, tattered clothes.

"you……"

The beggar untied the bandage with one hand, then shoved the child into the arms of the constable. "This child has no father, no mother, no relatives, and no place to live. He's a pitiful orphan, three years old this year, and meets the criteria for admission to an orphanage. Now that you've taken the child, I'll be leaving."

After saying that, he glanced at the child, turned around, and ran away.

But he was thin and weak, hadn't eaten enough, and had no strength. He couldn't keep up with the speed of the strong and sturdy constables. He was pulled back after only three or five meters.

"Why are you running away? Just bring the child here and explain yourself. You sneaked in and then ran away. What, are you feeling guilty? Is there something wrong with the child's background?"

The beggar immediately shook his head, "No, her background is fine."

"Then you..." The constable started to speak, but suddenly sensed something was wrong. Looking down, he saw that the sleeping child in his arms had a flushed face, rapid breathing, and an abnormal temperature. He frowned and asked the beggar, "Is she sick?"

"Yes, I have a slight fever."

The constable frowned, holding the child in one arm and still gripping the beggar with the other. "Come with me." Seeing the beggar try to break free, he bluntly said, "If you dare to run away, I'll abandon this child."

The beggar immediately stopped struggling and followed them to the orphanage.

At this moment, only Liang Wei was at the orphanage; Gao Hongfei had other matters to attend to and had already returned to the yamen.

Seeing the two strange-looking people approaching, Liang Wei glanced at them and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

The beggar shrank back instinctively when he saw him, his face full of worry.

The constable briefly recounted the events, and Liang Wei's gaze fell upon the beggar, who instinctively gave him a fawning smile.

Liang Wei withdrew his gaze, turned to He Hua who was standing at the door, and instructed her, "Have Doctor Han examine this child first."

The orphanage does not yet have a regular doctor, but in order to deal with emergencies these days, Gao Hongfei brought Dr. Han from the county clinic. He is currently inside, examining the health of several children who have already moved into the orphanage.

The constables carried the unconscious child inside.

The beggar looked relieved, but the next moment he met Liang Wei's sharp gaze.

His heart skipped a beat, and his smile became even more obsequious. Liang Wei said, "Speak, who are you? What is your relationship with that child? What is your purpose in coming here?"

“I have no relation to her. I found her in the dilapidated temple. I saw that she was young and had nowhere to live, so I brought her here.”

"Really?" Liang Wei knew he was lying.

But this child was too inexperienced; he had nowhere to hide from a commander like Liang Wei, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

In just a few words, he made clear what should and shouldn't have been said.

The sick child with a high fever was actually the beggar's younger sister. The two siblings depended on each other for survival, both making a living by begging in the county town.

Yesterday, while my younger sister was begging for food, she encountered a drunkard who kicked her into the lake.

After the beggar rescued the person, the younger sister's health deteriorated, and she developed a high fever this morning.

He only had a few copper coins on him, and had no other choice but to carry his sister to the clinic and kowtow to the doctor to beg for a prescription.

The clinic was not a charity, and the young apprentice quickly chased them away.

The beggar had no choice but to try wiping his sister down, just like Jian Yunsang had done to cool down Chaochao a few days earlier. It worked somewhat; at first, the temperature seemed to go down, but it quickly spiked again.

Seeing that his younger sister was delirious with fever, he disregarded everything else and thought only of going to the clinic to kowtow and beg for a dose of medicine, even if it killed him.

Just as he tied up his sister and set off, Chaochao in the sky said that the energy level was rising abnormally. He suddenly remembered what he had heard a few days ago about the orphanage that was about to be completed.

Without saying a word, the beggar brought his sister over, and sure enough, the orphanage was willing to treat the sister's illness.

He breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liang Wei, "Sir, I told you the truth."

"If that's the case, just bring the child over directly. Why run around? And you still say this child has nothing to do with you?"

The beggar lowered his head and said softly, "I heard that orphanages only take in orphans who have no one to rely on. My sister has a brother, but I'm afraid she doesn't meet the criteria, so you won't take her."

If that were the case, his sister might really be dead.

Liang Wei said, "I understand. Chaoyang Orphanage will take your sister in." He then turned to Master Cao and said, "Register the child's information."

"Yes."

The beggar smiled sincerely and kowtowed to Liang Wei several more times, saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

After saying that, he looked at the gate of the orphanage with some reluctance.

He wanted to go in and see his sister one more time, but he was afraid that if he did too much, he would annoy others and prevent them from treating his sister's illness.

Finally, the beggar gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, stood up, and said, "I...I'm leaving. Thank you."

He turned to leave, but Liang Wei called out to him, "Stop. You stay at the orphanage too."

The beggar was taken aback and stopped in his tracks. "Me? But I'm already eleven years old."

"The requirements for the conditions of care homes can be appropriately relaxed for people with disabilities."

Master Cao, who was standing to the side, looked up in surprise and carefully examined the beggar in front of him. Only then did he realize that the child had an empty sleeve.

At the same time, Chaochao on the sky paused in her drinking, and said to Jian Yunsang in surprise, "It suddenly increased by two hundred."
