Chapter 304 Shadow 7 (2)
"Xiao Qi, Fifth Sister is back. Look, these delicious meat buns."
"Shh! Xiaoqi has fallen asleep. Give her food later."
Yingyi was very happy that Xiaoqi woke up, but then he frowned again. He had to find a job tomorrow no matter what, and Xiaoqi's poisoning could not be delayed any longer.
Nan Xi opened her eyes. The toxins in this body had been cleared. After taking the detoxifying pill, all the toxins were cleared.
Ying Wu had been keeping an eye on Nan Xi and ran over immediately when he saw her wake up.
"Xiao Qi, you're awake. Come and try the meat buns. They're your favorite."
Yingwu secretly swallowed his saliva. The fragrance was so pleasant.
Ying Yi and the others came over, and Nan Xi had a hard time eating.
"How about we all eat together?"
Yingyi's face turned serious, "Xiaoqi, eat quickly. Your martial arts skills are the worst, and your body is too weak to suppress the poison. We can just eat wild vegetables."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Qi, eat quickly. The brothers are not hungry."
"Xiaoqi will be fine after eating the meat buns. When you are better, Fifth Sister will take you out to play."
Nan Xi had no choice but to eat the meat bun bite by bite.
As the sky gradually darkened, several figures appeared at the door of the dilapidated temple. They were also homeless beggars.
This is also where they stay.
A fire was lit in the dilapidated temple, and several people sat around it in a circle, their faces showing fatigue from the day's work. The firelight illuminated their faces, brightly and dimly.
"Lao Li, we have to find a good place tomorrow, preferably one with lots of people, so we can have more opportunities to beg."
"I heard that the East Market has been quite lively recently, with a market and a lot of people coming and going. We can try our luck there."
"The East Market is good, but there are many beggars there, and the competition is fierce. I remember a new restaurant opened at the South Gate, and they may need some help. We can go and ask."
……
Yingyi glanced at Yinger and Yingsan. They were the oldest among the three, so maybe they could give it a try.
Ying Wu lowered his voice and said, "I also heard about it when I was on the street today. It seems that the restaurant is hiring waiters and waitresses. Although the salary is not much, it is better than begging."
"If there is an opportunity to work, that would be the best. But we also need to prepare and understand the situation over there so that we don't get caught off guard when the time comes."
Ying nodded, "We can't always live by begging. If we can have a stable job, life will be much better."
Ying Er rubbed his hands together, "I'll go try tomorrow, if I can get in, you guys can go later."
The beggars were discussing the matter heatedly, and Yingyi and his companions made a decision to go to bed early and wait until dawn.
As soon as the sun rose, Ying Yi and his companions headed towards the restaurant.
Nan Xi looked at the backs of several people and shook her head. Without a household registration and because they were so young, it would be impossible for them to find a job.
Sure enough, at noon, several people came back dejected. Yingyi was particularly depressed. They were skilled in martial arts, but no one was willing to use them.
"Boss, I'll go to the dock tomorrow to check. I don't believe that I can't even carry a bag."
Ying Er touched his stomach. He hadn't had breakfast today and was hungry.
Ying San, Ying Si and Ying Liu followed behind without saying a word. They had not expected that it would be so difficult to not have a household registration.
"Now how to do?"
Ying Wu frowned, "Do we have no choice but to beg?"
Nan Xi touched the fur under her buttocks and said, "Brothers and sisters, let's sell this fur. We should be able to get some money."
Yingyi's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten that they could go hunting.
"Old Two, Old Three, Old Four, let's go up the mountain. Old Five and Old Six will accompany Old Seven."
"Yes, boss."
The brothers walked up the mountain together, and Yingwu and Yingliu stayed with Nanxi in the ruined temple.
Yingwu was a little happy, "When the boss brings back the prey, we can buy rice."
She carried the hay that they slept on out to dry in the sun, and Yingliu also started to clean up the ground.
Nan Xi had nothing to do so she could only sit and practice. Among the seven people, the original owner was the weakest. He only practiced for a few months before going down the mountain and became almost the same as an ordinary person.
It was not until the evening that Yingyi and his companions finally returned. They had sold their prey and bought a few steamed buns and two meat dumplings.
The brothers ate steamed buns, and the meat buns were given to Xiaowu and Xiaoqi.
Ying Er ate while talking about interesting things in the mountain.
"Xiao Qi, you didn't see it. I, your second brother, killed the hare with one punch. That hare was sold for more than ten copper coins."
Nan Xi's eyes widened, "Second brother, you are so awesome."
Ying Er smiled proudly, "Of course, I will hunt big insects for you in the future, and use their fur as a mattress for you in the winter."
"Thank you, second brother. Second brother is so kind."
Ying Yi looked at Ying Er helplessly. This guy is really a chatterbox.
Nan Xi brought the water with detoxifying pills to everyone, "Brothers, are you thirsty? Drink some water and take a rest."
Yingwu helped to distribute the water and his face was full of joy. He believed that things would get better and better for everyone in the future.
In the evening, everyone had a rare full meal and slept soundly together.
Yingyi was on guard at night. He sat by the fire, meditating and practicing his mental skills.
"Eh~ The toxin is much less. Could it be that the poison will be slowly excreted from the body?"
Yingyi carefully felt the changes in his body and found that the toxins that were wreaking havoc in his body now seemed to have become much milder.
Yingyi couldn't help but feel in a good mood, as if he saw hope of breaking free from his shackles.
It was late at night, and the sounds of wind and insects outside the dilapidated temple intertwined into a peaceful nocturne.
Yingyi practiced quietly, the fire occasionally made crackling sounds along with his breathing, everything seemed so peaceful.
Nan Xi was not completely asleep. She opened her eyes and saw Ying Yi practicing by the fire, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"This time, let me protect you."
In the morning, everyone else got up and exercised as usual. Ying San also noticed that the toxins had been reduced.
"Boss, can we get rid of this poison in the future?"
Yingyi's mouth corners curled up, unable to suppress the joy in his heart. It seemed that his guess was correct.
"It's very likely. We need to keep exercising, earn more money, get Xiaoqi treated, and then buy a household registration and live a good life."
Everyone was very happy. Ying San was a little confused. "Did Xiao Qi's poison erupt because he had no internal energy?"
"Probably."
Several people put aside their doubts. If this was the case, they would have to quickly earn money to pay for Xiao Qi's medical treatment.
Ying Yi came to Nan Xi as usual and prepared to examine her body. He placed his hand on Nan Xi's wrist and felt the breath flowing in her body.
"Xiao Qi, do you have inner strength?"
Nan Xi nodded, "Yesterday, when I was meditating and practicing, my tendons and meridians suddenly opened up, and I felt a warm current flowing through my body, and then I found that I could circulate my internal energy."
Ying Yi was a little surprised. "It's only been a short time. You've already opened up your meridians and gained internal strength. Xiao Qi, you're really a genius."
