Chapter 18 Dignity

After finishing all the things that should be done, Yu Qiuping finally slept steadily. The next morning, Charlie went to the back mountain of Junfu City to shoot arrows as if nothing had happened. Yu Qiuping started to settle accounts again and prepared to pay off his debts. After working hard for a long time, the harvest was good. He had already earned 82 yuan. He planned to take two more orders in the afternoon.

During lunch, Charlie still came back on time. Just as the two of them were sitting in the shop preparing to have a meal, they heard a knock on the door outside the shop.

Yu Qiuping and Charlie stood up to open the door. Standing at the door was a young beggar, but about 1.6 meters tall. In Japan, it was already considered tall. Although the little beggar was very tall, he was extremely thin. He wrapped half a straw sandal on his left foot, and his right foot was a cloth shoe that was picked up from somewhere. The tip of his shoe was leaked. Although the clothes on his body were torn, they were not dirty. It was obvious that the owner had washed it very carefully. There was a bun behind his head, which was a bit similar to a samurai bun, but it was not completely. The most eye was that his right eye was covered by a white cloth tied behind his head. Some pus could be seen slightly on the edge of the white cloth, and the cheeks below his right eye were also a little red.

His name is the personal guard, and he has been wandering for ten years.

He was originally the son of a polite son of a samurai family in Mino's family, and his parents passed away when he was four years old. Since he was a child, he was not favored by his uncles and uncles at home. When other children enjoyed the joy of family, he had already started to help with housework. Since he was a child, he learned to observe his words and be cautious and live cautiously.

However, people have good fortune and good fortune. At the age of six, he had eye disease. It was originally a very mild inflammation, but no one in the family cared about this illegitimate child. Finally, the inflammation became more and more serious, and his eyes began to ulcerate. The eldest son of the legitimate son who thought he was disgusting beat him and slandered him first. So the personal guards were driven out of the house and began to wander from then on.

He once grabbed bird eggs in the mountains and ate grass roots. He followed Mino all the way to beg for Suruga. He said it was begging, but he never knelt down and prayed for mercy from others. Instead, he asked others for a job. However, everyone hated the scary right eye of the personal guard, and all waved his hand to snatch him away, even adding fists and feet.

It has been ten years since he was in a down-and-out manner, but he never let himself be sloppy. Because in his already vague memory, his father asked him to keep himself clean no matter what.

So, he often went to the river to take a bath. Even if the pants he had finally picked up were washed away by the water, he still maintained this habit.

He had no money to treat his illness, and his eye disease was getting more and more painful. Now, he could hardly do heavy work. He would be so tired that he would never catch any prey again after walking a few steps. He had to pray for work in Junfu City and pick up others' leftovers to eat.

Today, he found a newly opened store and decided to come and try his luck. However, he didn't have much expectations.

The personal guard bowed and asked weakly, "I'm disturbing the two adults." Although his tone was humble, he tried hard to maintain dignity, which made people feel particularly distressed. "I would like to ask, is there any work that a villain can do?"

"This..." Yu Qiuping and Charlie looked at each other in confusion.

"You don't have to worry, two adults, the villain is just a beggar, but he is unwilling to beg," explained the personal guard. "The villain wants to exchange his own labor for some food. I don't know the two..."

"No problem," Yu Qiuping agreed immediately and led him into the house. "You can have some meal with us first." While saying that, he evened a little millet porridge from his bowl for him.

"This..." The personal guard was in a little embarrassed, "The villain thanked the good intentions of his lord...but the villain has not worked yet and cannot eat."

Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that it seemed familiar.

Ah, isn't it just me who just came here? I was already desperate, but I still wanted to retain my dignity. A sensitive part in my heart was suddenly touched, and he suddenly wanted to help this young man. Perhaps his life would be completely different. Just like the time when Asahina Taehyung helped him.

"If you don't eat enough, how can you work? I'll send me the accounts later," Yu Qiuping teased, "Eat quickly, the food is going to be cold."

The personal guards were stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Qiuping, and then looked at the bowl of millet porridge. The left eye suddenly became wet.

"Sir, what a good person," he swallowed carefully, "To be honest, I haven't had a meal for three days. When the people around him saw my eyes broken, they refused to let me stand at the door. They must drive the villain away, thinking that I will bring bad luck."

"I don't believe in those," Yu Qiuping explained with a smile, "After that, what's wrong with your eyes."

"The villain doesn't know either." He answered honestly, "When a villain was suddenly broken when he was a child, he has been in great pain since then. My parents died early, and the uncles and uncles at home thought my eyes were too terrible and would bring bad luck, so they drove the villain out."

"The villain has been wandering for almost ten years. He has wandered from Mino to Suruga." As he said, tears began to roll in his eyes. "In the past, kind-hearted people ordered leftovers for the villain at most. The adults were the first. Those who promised to work for the villain would not dislike the villain's eyes."

"Don't worry, I won't dislike you." Yu Qiuping comforted gently.

"Ask a risk, can I look at your eyes," Yu Qiuping asked, "Can you have any disease?"

"The villain is afraid of scaring the adults, so let's forget it." The personal guard replied honestly.

"I'm not afraid, please show me quickly, it's the disease to be cured." Yu Qiuping urged anxiously. Charlie on the side also nodded.

The personal guards hesitated for a moment and untied their white cloth. Only saw that the entire eye and eyelids were seriously ulcerated, which was almost rotten. It smelled pungent.

"Can you still see something?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice.

"I have been unable to see it for a long time." The personal guards answered, while carefully observing Yu Qiuping's actions.

"Don't worry, I don't think you have anything scary and won't drive you away." Yu Qiuping's unintentional comfort made the young man shed tears.

"Okay, don't cry," Yu Qiuping patted his shoulder, "You know now that your illness is very serious. It's your life that you haven't died after being delayed for so long. Now I'll take you to see a doctor."

"Sir?" The personal guard was surprised, "But I have no money."

"I'll help you with some first," Yu Qiuping took the only 100 million savings left at home. "If you pay me back in the future, treating the disease is the most important thing."

"Sir... Sir..." The personal guards whimpered softly, suddenly pushed the stool away, knelt down, and kowtowed to Yu Qiuping twice.

"This is the first time for a kowtow to the knights. The etiquette is not good. Don't be surprised by it, sir," he forced his crying, but the whimper still ran out as soon as he opened his mouth. "Grandman is very kind and kind, sir is unforgettable. But, sir, really look down on the doctor..."

"Stop talking, let's go," Yu Qiuping wanted to help the personal guards up, but the personal guards insisted on not getting up. He had to ask, "What's your name?"

"The villain... used to be a samurai family, but he has been removed from the list. Just call me the personal guard."

"Okay, my personal guard, my name is Yu Qiuping. Listen to me now," Yu Qiuping said anxiously, "Your eye disease is likely to be in danger to the brain, and it will be a dead end at that time. To be honest, I think something will happen if this disease is delayed for one or two days. I don't know why you are fine for ten years. But you have to know that this disease may kill you at any time, so now I will take you to see a doctor, right away!"

After saying that, Yu Qiuping winked at Charlie. The two of them helped the personal guards up, one left and one right, and quickly walked towards the clinic in the city. However, the doctor in the clinic looked embarrassed when he saw the personal guards' glasses.

"The villain is incompetent, which makes the adult laugh." The doctor sighed, "The whole eye is broken. I'm afraid I have to cut off my eyes. But the villain is afraid that he doesn't have the ability."

"Then is this disease important?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"If I hadn't seen this young brother live for so long, I would have thought that this disease would not last a month," the doctor said seriously, "It would be better not to delay it."

"Then where can I help him cut off his eyes?" Yu Qiuping asked again.

"I think the one with the highest medical skills in Suruga is Doctor Tsushima of the Northbound Castle," he said. "If Doctor Tsushima has no choice, there is probably no one else to do it."

"Then let's go now, thank you," Yu Qiupi turned around and was about to leave, but the doctor added hurriedly, "But you all, it's better to bring enough money!" he said, "That doctor Tsushima has a quirk, and the charges are very high."

"Thank you."

As soon as Yu Qiuping and his group walked out of the clinic, their personal guards grabbed Yu Qiuping and Charlie.

"The good intentions of the two adults are appreciated," he said with some difficulty. "The villain has picked up ten years of life and is already very content. He dare not waste so much money on Yuqiu..."

"No, this is not a matter of money," Yu Qiuping growled angrily, "This is your life! No amount of money can be exchanged for a lifetime! Since you are born, you must live well!"

The personal guard's Adam's apple squirmed, and even the rotten right eye turned slightly.

Want to... live well.

He looked at the hand that was holding him forward and tears kept pouring out of his eyes.

This world is so cruel and so beautiful. The already broken eye of the personal guard has not seen the light for ten years. At this moment, it is as if sparks are jumping. It is an indescribable touch.
