Chapter 920: North and Love (3)
Several people looked at each other and saw the tacit decision in each other's eyes.
The other four people stepped forward and protected the person carrying Gong Fu.
"Sir, this is our young lady. She ran away from home and is now wandering around because of a conflict with the master. We are only following the master's orders to bring her home. Please don't stop us."
Although this sounds somewhat logical, Beiji doesn't like to take unknown risks.
"If she is really your daughter, you could have come to pick her up in broad daylight. Invading at night and resorting to such despicable tactics is unacceptable to me."
The leader could see that the man opposite was not someone to be trifled with, because he couldn't see through him. This was enough to show that the man's skill was far superior to his.
"The main reason is that the young lady has a strong temper. If we don't use this method, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring her back safely. This is also a last resort. Please give me some convenience."
Beiji seemed not to hear these nonsense, and just said: "I say it again, put her back to her place."
The leader's expression suddenly changed, as if he was considering whether to fight or not.
"We are from the Sanjiang League. Are you sure you want to go against the Sanjiang League?"
Bei Ji lost his patience, his face turned cold, and his internal strength burst out, and a powerful pressure swept towards the five people.
Deep fear appeared in the eyes of several people, and the leader even wanted to retreat.
Not to mention that they can't beat him, even if they fight with all their strength, they might hurt the young lady... By then, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the wrath of the leader!
The others looked at the leader, as if waiting for his decision.
"Okay, since you're willing to help, you're probably not a bad person. We can retreat today, but tomorrow we'll come back and ask the young lady to come home. Then, please don't stop us!"
After saying that, he gave a look to the man carrying Gong Fu, and that man sent her back.
"My people have already given the young lady the antidote. When she wakes up, please inform her of this matter, sir."
Before leaving, the five people deliberately took off their face scarves, as if to prove that they had a clear conscience.
Seeing this, Beiji put away his murderous intent.
If she was really sent by her family, there would be no need for him to kill her.
Only after several people retreated did Bei Ji walk out of the deserted temple.
As the sky gradually brightened, the two older boys sleeping in the outer room woke up first.
"Be quiet, or you might wake up Sister Fu'er and her brothers and sisters!"
The other one rubbed his eyes, nodded gently, and then tiptoed out of the temple.
"Brother Qingfeng, if we still can't find a job today, do we have to beg?"
Qingfeng was a twelve-year-old boy. Due to years of malnutrition, he looked only ten years old and was frail. However, his eyes shone with a certain intelligence and maturity.
"Don't worry, we'll just wait in North Street today and we'll definitely find a suitable job!"
Qingliu is eleven years old, one year younger than Qingfeng, so he looks much shorter than him.
"Alas, people look down on us because we are too young and don't dare to hire us. Even if we stay there for a whole day, no one will want us."
It's just a waste of time.
Qing Liu washed up briefly and said, "Brother Qing Feng, how about I go begging today and you go look for work? We can divide the work and work on both fronts, and maybe we'll get better results!"
After hearing this, Qing Feng quickly refused, "No, I'm worried about you being alone."
"Whether it's looking for a job or begging for food, we're all together!"
"We've spent all of Sister Gong Fu's money. We can't cause her any more trouble. We must earn some money today!"
The little face was full of determination.
Gong Fu opened the door and the two children looked at her in surprise. They didn't expect her to wake up so early.
"Sister Fuer, why did you wake up so early?"
Qingliu went to meet him, his face full of joy.
He really liked Gong Fu and felt that Gong Fu was the greatest benefactor in their lives.
Qingfeng and Qingliu came home very late yesterday, so they didn't know what happened in the temple that afternoon. This was mainly because Gong Fu had told the other children not to tell them, fearing that they would worry unnecessarily.
"Didn't I tell you not to go out begging again? Why don't you listen again?"
At their age, the most important thing is to go to school!
"Didn't I pay for half a year's tuition for both of you? Why aren't you going to school? Instead, you're thinking about finding a job or begging?"
"Sister Fu'er, we..."
Seeing her stern face, Qingfeng quickly stepped forward and interrupted Qingliu, explaining, "Sister, we went there after class. We mainly wanted to help our family and didn't want you to work so hard."
Gong Fu was a little skeptical and asked Xiang Qingliu, "Is that so?"
Qing Liu's eyes dodged instantly, a trace of guilt flashed across his face, and he nodded in response: "Yeah, yes, yes..."
Gong Fu looked at the two children and did not ask any further questions.
"Alright, hurry up and get ready, and go to the teacher's class. Don't worry about your brothers and sisters at home, I'll take good care of them!"
The two men felt relieved and ran away quickly.
Gong Fu went in and told Da Xi something, then chased after him out.
She wanted to see if these two children really went to school!
Qingfeng and Qingliu went out, changed into their old tattered clothes, ruffled their hair, and then ran to the most prosperous North Street in Beisha City.
They are very smart and will go up to and beg for food when they see young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Although some people would give them a few coins as alms, most people would avoid them with disgust, as if they were some kind of bugs.
Early in the morning, they always meet a few people who are in a good mood and generous.
Looking at the few copper coins in the broken bowl, Qingliu's face broke into a smile.
"Brother Qingfeng, we can buy buns today!"
Qingfeng also had a few copper coins, but even with the two of them, it was only enough to buy three buns. But he had so many younger brothers and sisters...
Qing Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some steamed buns."
Steamed buns save money.
Qingliu's face was a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered. "That's fine. Sister Fu'er already gave us meat buns yesterday. We can't eat meat every day! Let's just have steamed buns!"
The two changed their clothes, bought some steamed buns, and returned to the deserted temple to bring breakfast to the children.
Usually, the elder sister would be out at this time, so they would often come back at this time to bring food to Daxi and the others. They would also ask Daxi not to tell Gong Fu, saying that this was a secret between them.
If their sister knew, they wouldn't be able to hide the fact that they didn't go to school.
