Everyone had just been baptized by bandits and was in a panic, not knowing what to do next and having no backbone.
Meng Shijie has now become the backbone of the whole audience, and what he says is more effective than anyone else.
"My neighbor broke his leg while climbing a mountain. I helped him fix it, and now he can walk."
This person thought it was good to be able to help at least.
"Okay, then you will listen to the doctor's help later."
After the first person stood up, more than a dozen others followed.
Only two people knew something about medicine, and one of them was a barefoot doctor.
However, everyone in the Zhou family knows a little about medicine.
Even Dr. Zhou's five-year-old grandson knows a little about medicine and can recite many recipes.
"You all should listen to my uncle Zhou. He is a great doctor with excellent medical skills."
Doctor Zhou did not refuse at this time as human life was at stake.
Now we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and we all need to work together.
"Please help boil some more hot water, the sooner the better."
"quick!"
Meng Shijie took the lead in lighting the fire and boiled a large pot of hot water in his own pot.
Seeing this, others also took action.
Those who don’t have pots can help collect firewood and fetch water.
Fortunately, the officers wanted to stage a scene where the food was washed away by water, so they chose to set up their tents next to a stream so there was no shortage of water.
There was enough firewood and the water boiled quickly.
Meng Shuyan saw that those people were now in good order, better than those managed by the police.
They are all working together.
It is true that people only understand the interests involved after they have experienced hardships together.
Watching those people helping dozens of wounded patients treat their wounds was quite inspiring, and I felt like I should do something too.
"Doctor, can my hand be cured?"
A middle-aged man, holding his bleeding hand, asked Doctor Zhou with a pale face.
"Doctor, I beg you, you must help me heal this hand. I can't live without it."
He is the pillar of the family. He has a wife, two daughters, and elderly parents. If he can't use his hand, who will support the family in the future?
"Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Doctor Zhou saw that his hand was injured to the bone, so he couldn't say for sure, but he could still shake hands, so the tendons should not be injured.
Meng Shuyan looked at the elderly, weak, women and children following behind him. At this time, the big pot of water in her own home also boiled.
She dropped a drop of spiritual spring water directly into the pot.
[Whether it's used to clean those people's wounds or to drink, it should be of some use.]
That was all she could do.
However, this scene happened to be seen by Leng Yingshuang.
She wasn't sure if a drop of water had been dropped into the pot, but after hearing her daughter's inner voice, she was certain.
My daughter has a kind heart. Every time she takes out the spiritual spring, she is careful to avoid people.
It was only a drop at most each time, and no one noticed.
So she wouldn't say anything. Her daughter was still young, and she would slowly teach her about the evil nature of human nature.
But my daughter’s efforts cannot be wasted, so I should just drink such a good thing.
"Mom, this pot of water we boiled is clean. Let's give it to the injured people."
After hearing the nods from her daughters-in-law and younger daughters-in-law, Chen, together with her eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson's wife, poured water for the injured people.
"Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Because the Meng family's pot was big, Chen not only poured water for the injured, but also gave some warm water to Doctor Zhou and the others.
The injured people would stop now and feel the pain in their wounds even more.
After drinking the hot water, I felt warm all over and the wound seemed to be less painful. I thought it was an illusion and no one paid attention to it.
After all, no one would have thought that there is so much mystery in a bowl of ordinary water.
Doctor Zhou, who had been taking the pulse and checking the wounds of several people, also seemed to be less tired.
He was so busy with so many injured people that he didn't have time to notice this detail.
There is strength in numbers. Within an hour, all the injuries were dealt with and no one died. It was a blessing in disguise.
Those who are seriously injured can only wait until tomorrow to go to town to buy some medicine.
The Zhou family had used up all their medicinal herbs, and it wasn’t enough.
While Doctor Zhou and his colleagues were treating people's wounds, several people received instructions from Meng Shijie.
Pile the bandits that were hacked to death together and cover them with dirt to prevent the smell of blood from attracting wild animals.
Meng Shijie also searched all the robbers, including the dead ones, and found two hundred and sixty taels of silver.
"Alright everyone, go to bed early. We'll take the bandits to the yamen tomorrow morning and take care of our business at the same time."
Meng Shijie also heard from his two little nephews that someone had robbed their ox cart before, and no one knew where those people had gone.
"A word of advice to all of you: just because the officials are tied up now, don't think you can escape.
Don't even think about running away.
Everyone is registered. If you escape, you will never be seen again in the world, even your descendants will not be able to see anyone.
Look at these desolate mountains and wilderness, can you survive on your own?"
Meng Shijie began to comfort all the remaining people again, saying that there were wild wolves cooperating with him in the nearby forest.
“Ouch—”
As for those who had escaped during the chaos before, Meng Shijie didn't care. It was not his business.
From now on, no one can escape.
Otherwise, the officers would definitely blame him, saying that they escaped because they were kidnapped.
Otherwise, he wouldn't care whether these people stayed or died.
Now he just wants his family to reach the relocation destination safely and start a new life, but he doesn't want to become a rioter.
He thought differently from those people. After all, their whole family was together, so it didn't matter where they lived.
"Send all these people to the local county magistrate tomorrow.
I believe the county magistrate will make the decision for us and provide us with enough food.
Otherwise, if so many of us return the same way, the emperor will definitely find out.
Then all the county magistrates along the way will be in trouble.
So don't worry, we will have someone to take care of it.
Maybe they'll even prepare an ox cart or something for each of our families, so we can travel much more easily."
Meng Shijie was not exaggerating. These six or seven hundred people had been stamped with the order to migrate and farm.
It can be said that all the officials passing by have already obtained their relevant information.
If an accident happens in someone's area, that person will have to be beheaded and brought to the emperor.
He was also not afraid that these bandits would collude with local officials.
Let’s see if anyone dares to admit it and do anything to these people, unless they don’t want to live anymore.
It would be hard to say if it was just one or two families, but there are almost seven hundred of them!
A riot is also a considerable force that no one wants to see.
The new emperor ascended the throne only three years ago.
There had been constant wars, the population was gradually decreasing, and disasters and plagues occurred one after another.
So even though these six or seven hundred people look like prisoners, if one of them dies, it will attract the attention of the people above.
