In ancient times, there was a Baiyu Temple in Yongning Village, Huaizhou. It was once in full swing. Later, when war broke out, the temple was abandoned. Year after year, day after day, the temple has been disrepaired and has become dilapidated.

However, although the temple is dilapidated, it is the most ideal place to settle down for homeless beggars and passers-by.

There is a young beggar in the temple, who looks at most in his early twenties. Although the clothes are worn, it is not difficult to see that a person looks handsome and talented.

Although everyone is curious about why he became a beggar at a young age, no one has asked too much about it.

In fact, what everyone doesn’t know is that this young beggar is named Qin Zhifan, who was once a famous Qin family son in the neighboring county.

Qin Zhifan's father was a local cloth merchant. He started from scratch and ran the cloth business without any deception. Gradually, the business was getting better and better, and eventually became one of the rich.

After Qin Zhifan was born, Qin's father favored him very much, and even asked the teacher to come to his home to teach him how to read and read.

He is sensible, well-behaved, smart and studious, and his husband praised him very much. Qin Zhifan passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, and Qin's father held a banquet to celebrate.

The following year, under the arrangement of Qin's father, Qin Zhifan and He Yuanwai's daughter Helan got engaged and got married three months later. Helan is well-educated and well-informed, and is very compatible with Qin Zhifan.

Who knew that one month later, the Qin family cloth store's warehouse suddenly caught fire and destroyed many silk cloths. After Qin's father discovered the fire, he rushed to put out the fire without hesitation. He was accidentally hit by the falling rafters and died.

The glorious Qin family fell overnight, and creditors kept coming to collect debts. Not long after, Qin's mother became ill due to depression.

In desperation, Qin Zhifan found He Yuanwai and begged him to help. Unexpectedly, He Yuanwai not only turned him out, but also took the opportunity to cancel his engagement with Helan.

Qin Zhifan returned home disheartenedly. After Qin's mother learned about the He family's approach, her qi and blood were at her heart and soon followed Qin's father.

After handling the funeral of their parents one after another, Qin Zhifan sold his property to pay off his debts. Afterwards, he left his hometown and made a living by begging.

Finally, Qin Zhifan came to Baiyu Temple. During the day, he went to the street to beg and returned to Baiyu Temple to spend the night. In Baiyu Temple, Qin Zhifan did not often communicate with others and often stared blankly alone.

Qin Zhifan is taciturn and likes to be alone. This is a year.

Once, he saw a rich young man teasing a woman on the street, and Qin Zhifan stepped forward to stop him. As a result, he was injured in one leg by the rich young master's entourage.

Since there was no money to treat, Qin Zhifan could only limp from then on.

On the evening of that day, Qin Zhifan finished begging on the street as usual and walked towards Baiyu Temple. When he was about to arrive at the temple, he didn't pay attention to his feet and staggered and almost tripped by something on the ground.

He stopped and looked back and saw that there was a coarse cloth bag on the ground. He bent down and picked it up, and found it was a coarse cloth bag with the word "Ning" embroidered on it and a small lotus next to it.

Qin Zhifan opened the coarse cloth bag and was shocked. Unexpectedly, there were fifty taels of silver in the cloth bag.

Qin Zhifan was not very happy, but frowned. If the rich family loses these fifty taels of silver, the loss will not be very big. But such a coarse cloth bag is not like a wealthy family’s belongings.

If the owner of the cloth bag needs to work hard to support his family, wouldn’t he lose so much money ruin other people’s family?

Qin Zhifan knew too much about the feeling of not having money to crush a home, so he sat under a big tree by the road, eating the food he was begging for while waiting for the owner.

After eating, the owner still did not see him looking for it. He waited for a while and fell asleep unknowingly.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Qin Zhifan was woken up. He slowly opened his eyes, but saw a middle-aged man holding a long branch, fiddling in the grass on the roadside, as if looking for something.

Qin Zhifan got up and asked, "What are you doing here late at night?"

"I lost a coarse cloth bag and didn't know where it fell. I could only go back along the way to look for it." The man looked anxious and looked with a look. explain.

"I wonder what are the characteristics of the lost coarse cloth bag?" Qin Zhifan asked cautiously.

So, the man described the characteristics of the coarse cloth bag and the things contained inside. After Qin Zhifan checked it one by one, he confirmed that the middle-aged man was the owner of the coarse cloth bag.

The man took the coarse cloth bag returned by Qin Zhifan, cried with joy, and thanked him repeatedly.

It turns out that the man's name is Ning Gui, who has been making a living outside all year round. Recently, I received news from my wife that her mother was seriously ill, so he hurried to take the money home.

I didn't expect to rush to travel, and I didn't know when the coarse cloth bag disappeared. He was anxious and had to look for it. It’s a pity that Qin Zhifan won the money, otherwise he really didn’t know what to do.

In order to express his gratitude, Ning Gui took out five taels of silver to thank Qin Zhifan. Qin Zhifan refused to accept anything and only urged him to seize the time to hurry up.

Ning Gui finally stuffed the silver directly into Qin Zhifan's arms and hurried forward. Qin Zhifan had difficulty getting his legs and feet and couldn't catch up, so he had to give up.

On this day, Qin Zhifan came to the market to beg for a while, but saw a hustle and bustle in front of him, surrounded by people. When he walked closer, he saw a strong man holding a girl about fifteen years old. The girl looked frightened and kept crying.

At this time, someone in the crowd whispered: "This person is Qin San, a famous rogue. The girl's name is Wang Lan. Her mother died early. Her father died unexpectedly not long ago and borrowed Qin Sanwuliang of silver during his lifetime. Now that the Wang family has no money to pay off the debt, Qin San wants to take the opportunity to occupy Wang Lan as his concubine. "

The onlookers knew that Qin San was arrogant and unreasonable, and they didn't dare to step forward.

Qin Zhifan rushed out of the crowd in anger and scolded sternly: "Stop! In broad daylight, you, a big man, bully a weak woman."

Qin San looked at him and saw a thin beggar shouting at him. . Qin San sneered, "Poor beggar, are you planning to meddle in other people's business?"

"Does this girl owe you five taels of silver?" Qin San nodded contemptuously, and Qin Zhifan continued, "I'll pay it for her."

Qin San burst into laughter when he heard this. He thought that Qin Zhifan would not be rich. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhifan really took out five taels of silver and threw it on Qin San.

At this time, the crowd began to talk. Qin Sanyi looked shocked. His original intention was to occupy Wang Lan, but he didn't know that this stinky beggar really had five taels of silver.

A good thing was ruined by Qin Zhifan. Qin San said unwillingly: "You are a poor beggar and you have five taels of silver. You must have stolen it."

After saying that, Qin San pulled Qin Zhifan to the government office . Qin Zhifan couldn't break free, so he simply walked towards the government.

County officials received a report from Qin San to ask about the origin of Qin Zhifan's money, and Qin Zhifan told him truthfully. However, the county magistrate only felt that he was lying, so he immediately pronounced a sentence and put him in jail.

At this moment, a man squeezed into the front from the crowd watching in the lobby and shouted, "Sir, wait." Qin Zhifan looked back and didn't expect that the person coming was Ning Gui.

Ning Gui happened to go to the market to buy things. He heard that his benefactor was framed and even made trouble in the government. He rushed to the government to clarify for Qin Zhifan.

After the county magistrate learned the truth, he immediately changed Qin Zhifan to be acquitted, and Qin San was imprisoned for false accusation.

Wang Lan was very grateful to Qin Zhifan and thanked him repeatedly. Qin Zhifan asked Wang Lan what plans he had in the future, but Wang Lan didn't know how to answer, so she just shook her head.

Then, Wang Lan proposed to beg with Qin Zhifan, but Qin Zhifan said he did not agree with anything.

At this time, Ning Gui said, "I have to thank Zhifan for help. I arrived home in time. My mother's condition has improved. My wife and I have never had anything to do. Why don't you both go home with me."

At first, Qin Zhifan refused, and could not help but Ning Gui said that if Qin Zhifan had not gone to his house, he would not have taken Wang Lan in, and let her, a girl, die for herself.

In desperation, Qin Zhifan had to agree.

Just like that, Qin Zhifan and Wang Lan lived in Ning Gui's house.

Ning Gui asked the doctor to treat Qin Zhifan's legs. A few months later, Qin Zhifan's legs finally returned to normal.

With Ning Gui's support, Qin Zhifan continued to study. Wang Lan followed Ning's wife to take care of the family affairs together, and did needlework for others in her spare time to supplement the family income.

Later, under Ning Gui's support, Qin Zhifan and Wang Lan became husband and wife. After the two got married, they had a deep relationship and were very loving, and were very filial to Ninggui and his wife. From then on, the family lived a stable and happy life.
