Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 220 A Chance Encounter with Zi Mo

After being busy for more than half a month, including fighting with the Imperial Advisor, burning Gu, and checking Meng'er, Ban'e hadn't had a proper time to enjoy some alone time with her partner.

The following day, Puyangxuan accompanied Yang Jianwu for a leisurely stroll along Hanlingjun Street, chatting about interesting things they had heard recently, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Pu Yangxuan learned a few tricks of "mind reading," and he would make judgments about everyone he met, and he would even ask Yang Jianwu to analyze the right and wrong together.

"Sword Dance, the people of Hanlingjun are really rich. Look, that uncle gave the little beggar a piece of silver! It's a pity the little beggar didn't tell the truth."

Yang Jianwu was looking at the roadside stalls and didn't notice what Puyang Xuan was talking about. "Where's the little beggar? What did he say? How do you know it's fake?"

Puyang Xuan pointed to the street corner, "It's right there. He just said he has a younger sister who is blind and is waiting for him to raise money to go back for treatment. His eyes glazed over for a moment when he spoke, so I guess he's a liar."

Yang Jianwu looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a child who wasn't too slovenly. His clothes were faded from washing, and he didn't look like a beggar, but rather a child from a poor family.

"Go over and have a look."

"Hey~ Sword Dance, let's keep walking around, why are we going to look at the beggars?"

"He's not a real beggar; he must be having some trouble."

"Sword Dance, how do you know he's not a real beggar? Besides, even if he isn't, don't be so kind. There are too many poor people in the world to help everyone..."

Yang Jianwu stopped and looked at Puyang Xuan. "I don't think I told you that when I met Luo Li, he was a real beggar."

"Forehead……"

Luo Li possessed a unique air about him, and Puyang Xuan simply couldn't associate him with a beggar...

While she was thinking, Yang Jianwu had already come to the little boy's side. "What's your name? Is someone in your family sick?"

The little boy stared at Yang Jianwu, momentarily stunned. What a beautiful older sister... Suddenly, a cold light flashed, startling him. Realizing his rudeness, he quickly bowed.

"I'm so sorry, Miss, it was Zimo who was rude. I have a younger sister at home... She's blind and is waiting for me to raise money to buy her medicine..."

Zi Mo seemed unwilling to lie to Yang Jianwu, and spoke somewhat hesitantly, which confirmed Pu Yangxuan's suspicion that he was lying.

"I'm a doctor, would you be willing to take me to see your sister?"

"Huh?! This...you're really a doctor?"

"Yes, absolutely!"

"Alright, please come home with me."

"it is good."

Zi Mo led the way for Yang Jianwu, while Puyang Xuan followed behind, pouting. He knew she was lying, yet he still followed. What was Jianwu up to? Was she perhaps thinking of Luo Li when she was little?! Maybe!

Zi Mo led the two to the northwest corner of the city, which could be considered the slum of the city, where people from poor families lived.

After walking through several streets, we arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard.

"Sister, this is my home."

Yang Jianwu glanced at the surroundings, which were indeed not good, but the child's manners were quite proper, which showed that he had been well-educated at home.

"Well, let's go in."

Zi Mo felt uneasy, but still called out to Yang Jianwu.

"Sister, I wasn't telling the truth just now, I lied to you..."

Puyang Xuan, as if he had caught someone red-handed, jumped in front of Yang Jianwu, separated Zi Mo, and laughed loudly: "Haha! I told you he was lying, Jianwu, it was so obvious to him, you should have been able to see it, so why did you still come here with him?"

Yang Jianwu was speechless. Suddenly, the image of Sakuragi Hanamichi praising himself, "I really am a genius," flashed through her mind... It was so similar...

Pushing Puyang Xuan aside with one hand, she looked at Zi Mo, who seemed somewhat at a loss, and asked in a softer voice, "What did you lie to me about?"

Zi Mo bowed first, and then spoke, "Sister, it's like this, it's not that I can't see her at home, it's an older sister. She was injured and was rescued by my grandmother and me..."

Yang Jianwu patted Zi Mo's head, "How can this be considered lying? Whether it's the older sister or the younger sister, it's because you can't see that you have to go out and beg."

Puyang Xuan scoffed inwardly. Claiming to be his sister was just a ploy to gain sympathy! Was Jian Wu touching his head to test his bone age? Could it be that he was too?!

Unaware of Puyang Xuan's thoughts, Yang Jianwu gestured for Zi Mo to continue leading the way.

"Let's go and take a look first."

"Okay, please come in, sister!"

The courtyard was small. Upon entering, one could see an old woman and a blind girl in the main room.

The old woman was doing needlework under the eaves, and the girl sat next to her on a small stool, picking vegetables with her hands. Because she couldn't see, she moved very slowly, and some of the good ones were even picked off. The old woman just quietly picked them back and didn't scold the girl.

Because the girl couldn't see, her hearing became more acute.

"Is that Zimo back?"

"Yes, Sister Meng'er, I'm back."

Yang Jianwu's heart skipped a beat. She met Puyang Xuan's gaze. Was it just a coincidence or a shared name? This dream was...

Puyang Xuan was also full of doubts. Their shopping trip was a last-minute decision made this morning, and there was absolutely no way anyone would have leaked it, let alone arranged it in advance... Moreover, it was he who reminded Jianwu to be careful of Zi Mo...
