Chapter 27: Gold is expensive



Apart from Lin Goudan, there is really no one else.

Lin Youcai was so angry that if he hadn't seen that his grandson was in serious condition, he would have kicked him twice.

The large army rushed forward, not forgetting to leave a secret signal.

After Jiang Yun took Lin Goudan's pulse, her face changed. She immediately took out a silver needle to relieve his pain and poured medicine powder into his mouth.

This was not the end. He secretly asked Lin Jinyue to go to the farm to make medicine for him.

In other words, Goudan was so painful that he passed out and didn't pay any attention to other people.

After working for half an hour, giving injections and administering medicine, they finally saved the patient.

In the past, some people in the village drank raw water and stuffed meat into their mouths without caring whether it was cooked or not. They would even eat dead rabbits on the roadside.

After Lin Goudan’s behavior this time, I’m sure everyone will be more careful about what they put into their mouths from now on.

Jiang Yun was frightened for a moment: "I told you not to drink that dirty water. If I hadn't bought some silver needles and some emergency medicine today, you would be..."

Lin Goudan's stomach no longer hurt, but he was still weak. He knelt down and kowtowed to the couple: "Uncle San, Aunt San, from now on you are my second father. If you say anything, I will give you my life!"

Lin Goudan kowtowed several times and his forehead was almost broken.

He was really scared and felt like he was going to die because of the pain in his stomach. He would work like a slave to repay the favor.

It was also because Jiang Yun saved Lin Youcai's only grandson, the treasure of the Lin family, that Lin Youcai had complete trust in Lin Jinyue's family from then on. Even though he did not understand many of Lin Jinyue's suggestions, he supported them unconditionally.

Lin Shucheng lifted the man up and said, "Don't kowtow again. It will waste the medicine for the wound."

Lin Goudan asked uncertainly, "Then, Uncle San, is there anything else I can help with?"

Lin Shucheng looked at his daughter again.

He never worries about these things, and relies entirely on his daughter. Mainly because he is afraid that he will say too much and cause trouble for his daughter.

Lin Jinyue glanced at her father and her brother. The two of them stood out in the crowd with outstanding temperament. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people. After all, the people selling water were Prince Jing's subordinates. It would be troublesome if they suddenly wanted to investigate their family.

Lin Goudan, on the other hand, looked okay, but like most people in the village, he had a hunched back and looked ordinary.

Lin Jinyue arranged for him to buy water and gave him two taels of silver.

She thought, no matter how expensive the water was, two taels of silver would be enough to buy it. After all, she was not buying gold.

Money can be earned again. It would be a loss if you get a red card warning for filling the system with water just to save money.

After all, she had done something borderline not long ago by exchanging brown rice for iron. After the exchange, the line in the mall that read "no resale" became "no transactions of any kind".

Well, this system is smart and can fix bugs by itself.

Lin Goudan took on the task of buying water.

Seeing more and more people going up the mountain, Lin Goudan followed them in to buy water.

Everyone's face was filled with numbness.

There were also a few farmers with patches on their clothes who knelt down and begged them, but they were quickly kicked away.

The doorman had a bad attitude and told them to get out.

Lin Goudan followed the crowd inside and asked someone nearby about the price of water.

Unexpectedly, the man said: "Water price? The price changes every day. It was 1.50 yuan a scoop the day before yesterday, and it was 2.5 yuan yesterday. I don't know what the price will be today."

Lin Goudan didn't know how to count, so he asked the man, "Uncle, how much silver do you think it will cost to fill these twenty water bags? Is two taels enough?"

The man was dressed respectably. He did a rough calculation and said, "It's not enough. The water scoop is only the size of a palm. Their hands are shaking. If they want to fill these twenty water bags, they will need at least thirty or fifty taels. It is definitely not enough."

Lin Goudan almost felt dizzy.

This, this is something he can’t make the decision on, so he just takes the water bag and goes to Erya to make the decision.

"What? Two and a half cents for a bucket of water?!"

The people who were waiting for Lin Goudan in the woods were shocked.

Lin Jinyue blurted out: "Why don't they just go and rob it?!"

Lin Goudan was so worried: "That's right, why don't you just go and rob it?"

Lin Jinyue thought of what Blacksmith Li had said. There was no water to drink within a few miles. Even the water from the well behind their own house was not drinkable.

I'm afraid it won't be long before this city will be empty.

Lin Jinyue sighed.

Although she still had some money in her hand, which could buy some water, she was not a sucker.

Lin Jinyue asked them to wait here and went over with her father, taking the water bag.

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said to her brother, "Mom, brother, you take Goudan with you first. Dad and I will go buy water together and see if we can find another way to get them a cheaper price."

As she spoke, she winked at Lin Xueqing and Jiang Yun.

They both understood what she meant.

At this time, they were ready to get water directly from the farm, but they couldn't help but complain about the system in their hearts. It's not that they are not allowed to give supplies to other people, but they have to make things so troublesome and give red card warnings at every turn.

Lin Jinyue went there with her father.

The father and daughter went to the place where water was sold, but they felt particularly heavy in their hearts.

After hearing what Goudan said just now, they felt that this group of people had no conscience and would not leave any chance for the old man to survive. When they came here and saw it with their own eyes, they felt even more upset.

Inside the courtyard wall, everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes. On the table were rare snacks and a few hard dishes. The tableware was made of white jade. Even the dog in the yard had bones in its bowl.

There were several people lying outside the gate, their faces and noses swollen, their bodies covered with patches, and blood spitting out of their mouths. There was also a man who was unrecognizable, with his arms and legs broken.

Anyone who could move struggled to get up, not caring about the wound on their foreheads, and kowtowed to the guards outside: "Sir, we are dying of thirst, please give us some water. My baby is only three years old, and the doctor said he will not survive... Please give us some water..."

Another person choked up and said, "Sir, please be kind and give me some water to drink. My wife gave her blood to the baby so that he could survive. He died yesterday. Please be kind and…"

Their heads were all bruised, but they were kicked away by the guards at the door.

Those people, who were wearing patched clothes, were kicked to the ground and lay there motionless. It was unknown whether they were still breathing.

Lin Shucheng quickly pressed his daughter's head into his arms. The child couldn't bear to see this.

Lin Jinyue felt depressed.

Their family went to the city, which was the most prosperous area. The passers-by were all well-dressed and wealthy people. They only saw the temporary peace in Runan County.

These scenes were too much of a shock to Lin Jinyue, who grew up in a prosperous Taichung city.

The most painful thing is not that you are powerless, but that you are capable but cannot help.

Lin Jinyue knew that if she helped, she would definitely get into trouble.
