Chapter 703 Xiao

The girl, Luo He, had red and swollen eyes.

The young man next to her accompanied her silently, looking at the girl with worry.

But he was also confused, who was the woman in front of him?

But when he looked at the woman's temperament, he instinctively felt that she must be capable.

If they don't have the ability, they won't come to save people.

And it was the doctor who said that.

Xiao Yueyao didn't care about what happened to others. She quickly treated the injuries and applied medicine.

Soon, the person was bandaged.

"Okay, it's just a minor problem. Just go home and rest for a few days."

"The fever subsided quickly."

Fortunately, Xiao Yueyao had prepared a lot of spare medicine before coming, so they came in handy.

When the girl heard this, she felt her heart come alive. She hurried over and asked, "Is my brother really okay?"

Xiao Yueyao said: "Don't worry, it's okay!"

The doctor was also in disbelief. "How is this possible? How can there be such a good healing medicine? The bleeding stopped so quickly."

Xiao Yueyao looked at the doctor and said, "There are always people better than you. There are many people with good medical skills. Don't limit yourself to your own medical skills."

Xiao Yueyao almost said that the doctor's medical skills were terrible.

But you can imagine that in a small place like this, it is good enough to have a clinic.

And according to the information I have gathered in the past few days, there is only this one clinic in the entire county, including the villages below.

There was only one doctor and two students in the clinic.

So no matter if people have a headache or fever, they will come to this clinic.

Xiao Yueyao originally thought that the doctor's skills should at least be decent, but now she knows what his skills are like.

Is it really that shocking?

However, Xiao Yueyao now roughly understood the medical level of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the need to train more qualified doctors.

If the medical skills are improved, more people can be saved.

For example, the person in front of me clearly had a minor problem, but the doctor said he could not be saved and asked people to prepare for his funeral.

It’s really hard to say what to say.

But she also understands that this era cannot be compared with the technological age.

The young girl Luo He went over to take a look and felt that her elder brother's breathing became stronger and he didn't look as weak as before.

She touched her eldest brother's head and found that his forehead was not so hot anymore and his fever had subsided a little.

She knelt down immediately and said, "Thank you so much for saving my brother's life!"

Seeing the girl's appearance, Xiao Yueyao quickly helped her up and said, "Hurry up, I just happened to see you."

"I don't like others kneeling like this, get up!"

This is the way of the times, but Xiao Yueyao still hasn't gotten used to it.

She herself felt that she had not done anything.

But Luo He was extremely grateful to Xiao Yueyao.

"Benefactor, what should we do next?"

Xiao Yueyao said, "Just take your eldest brother home and take good care of him. He will be fine in a few days."

“But he still needs to take medicine these few days.

"The medicine I gave him before was just emergency medicine. Let me write a prescription!"

"Thank you so much, benefactor. Thank you so much, benefactor."

But Luo He didn't have the money to buy medicine.

The boy helped pay the bill.

The prescription Xiao Yueyao prescribed was just a prescription for ordinary medicinal herbs, and it also took into account the actual situation of ordinary people here.

If the medicinal materials are too expensive, it will cost a lot of money.

So just try to prescribe common herbs and you will feel better in a few days.

While the doctor was dispensing medicine, Luo He talked to Xiao Yueyao, and Xiao Yueyao realized that they were actually from Luojia Village.

Xiao Yueyao's expression changed and she said, "We are just about to go to Luojia Village to take a look."

Luo He said excitedly: "The benefactor can come and live in our house, and we can repay the benefactor."

Xiao Yueyao said, "My last name is Su, so there's no need to call me benefactor."

The surname Xiao is too special, so when Xiao Yueyao is outside, she still calls herself Su Yueyao.

Luo He called her Miss Su.

The young man's name was Nie Feibai, also sixteen years old. He looked frail, but had a gentle and refined demeanor.

When they came, the young man rented an ox cart. When they went to Luojia Village, Xiao Yueyao asked Xiao Yi to drive the carriage over, and so the group rode in the carriage to Luojia Village together.

According to Luo He, there are only more than 20 households in Luojia Village.

It's a small village.

The village is also relatively remote and poor.

But she can embroider, and her work is good, so the embroidery workshop in the town is willing to buy her embroidered handkerchiefs and the like, and she can also earn some money to supplement the family income.

The unconscious person is her eldest brother.

Luo He is sixteen years old and her older brother is eighteen years old.

Luo He happens to be the home of the village chief of Luojia Village.

As for the young man, he just accompanied them for a while and then went back.

Xiao Yueyao could tell that the young man Nie Feibai had a special relationship with Luo He.

Moreover, there was affection in the eyes of both of them, but that was only visible in their eyes; their behavior was still polite.

Luo He looked at Xiao Yueyao's expression, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

Xiao Yueyao said: "You don't have to tell me everything."

Xiao Yueyao knew that in some places in this era, a woman's reputation was more important than anything else.

If a word or two related to a man is spread out, people will talk about it.

Luo He sat in the carriage and said, "Actually, there's nothing that can't be said."

"When I was a child, my family arranged a marriage for me. But the man later broke off the engagement after he became a scholar. I was scolded by everyone at that time, so I ran away secretly and thought about jumping into the river."

Xiao Yueyao was shocked when she heard this, "How can you be so desperate?"

"I don't know. At that time, everyone looked at me strangely and talked about me behind my back. My sister-in-law even ran away with the family money. Others insulted her behind my back. I could only hide and cry secretly."

"It was Nie Feibai who saved me."

"He was very good to me and helped me many times, but his situation was also very difficult."

"He has done what he can."

Xiao Yueyao's expression changed. "Your sister-in-law ran away because of you?"

Luo He shook his head and said, "No, it was because my mother was sick and needed money. There was a drought that year and the crops in the fields didn't grow much. My sister-in-law couldn't stand it and left."

Speaking of this, Luo He couldn't help wiping away tears.

"In order to get medicine for mother's treatment, my eldest brother went to work as a farmhand at the Du Mansion."

"I thought the farmhands were different from the servants in the mansion and wouldn't be bullied, but I never thought they would take my life if they wanted, and beat me up if they wanted."

"My eldest brother was not this thin before. He was very strong."

Xiao Yueyao sighed inwardly and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

Although Luo He said it simply, Xiao Yueyao knew that it was definitely not that easy.

"The Du Mansion is so powerful. You are farmhands, not servants of the mansion. They cannot beat or kill you at will."

Luo He said, "The county magistrate's wife's surname is Du, and she is related to the Du family."

Xiao Yueyao nodded and said, "So that's how it is. The county magistrate is backing him up."

"But I heard that the county magistrate didn't do anything to oppress the people."

Luo He said, "That's because the emperor doesn't allow it. The magistrate of a county next to ours was dismissed, so the magistrate is openly stricter in his management."

"But when people from the Du Mansion bully others, they always find a legitimate reason."

"My eldest brother was a farmhand. The Du family had no right to beat him to death, but they falsely accused him of stealing. Even if they reported him to the authorities, they had no evidence or reason."

Xiao Yueyao asked, "What did they say your eldest brother stole?"

Luo He cried and said, "They said he stole a concubine's gold hairpin. My elder brother would never do such a thing."

Xiao Yueyao looked at Luo Chuan lying in the carriage and naturally believed what Luo He said.

There must be some other reason.

There must be conflicts in a family like the Du family.

Maybe Luo Chuan was just involved in it.

"I believe your brother is innocent."

"Don't be sad. When your eldest brother wakes up, you will know what happened."

"Don't worry, your brother will be fine."

"kindness."

As they talked, they came to the river.

Luo He carefully drove the carriage past one of the places, "The water here is shallow, the carriage can wade through, it's okay."

After crossing the river and walking for a while, we arrived at Luojia Village.

Most of the houses in the village are wooden, which is different from the villages in the north.

Luo He's family is also the village chief's family, so they live at the east end of the front street of the village.

The cabin is spacious.

"Mom, we're back!"

A neatly dressed woman slowly walked out with a cane.

"He'er is back!"

After Luo He went in, she told her mother what happened.

In fact, Luo He originally just went to the town to deliver embroidery, but she didn't expect to learn about her elder brother's news, so she went to save her elder brother and took him to the clinic.

Now it’s brought back.

When the woman heard this, she was so shocked that she almost fainted, but she held on.

The woman also wanted to kneel down to Xia Qingnuan, but Xia Qingnuan stopped her and told her that Luo Chuan was fine and just needed to take good care of himself.

The woman was relieved.

The woman wiped away her tears gently and said, "Thank you, young lady. Thank you for saving Chuan'er!"

When Xiao Yueyao stopped the woman, she reached out and touched her wrist and found that she had been suffering from long-term malnutrition.

But the way she walked and talked, she didn't look like an ordinary farmer.

And he looks very strong and resilient.

"You're welcome, Auntie. I just happened to see it. It's just a small favor."

"It just so happens that we came to Luojia Village for something, so we might need to stay here for a few days."

"Miss, you are too polite. It is our honor that you don't mind staying at our home."

As soon as the woman saw the woman in front of her, she knew that this was definitely not an ordinary woman.

After a few pleasantries.

Xiao Yueyao said, "Xiao Yi, please help move the people into the house first. Be careful."

When the woman heard this, her expression suddenly changed, "Xiao...surname Xiao!"

Luo He was also stunned, "Mom, I have the same last name as you!"

"Mother, could it be your former relative?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yueyao's expression changed.

Xiao!

The surname Xiao is not a common one.

Xiao Yueyao asked, "Aunt, is your last name Xiao too?"

"Auntie shouldn't be from here, right? I wonder where she came from before?"

"Don't worry, auntie, we have no ill intentions, we are just passing by."
