Chapter 244 Public Sentiment
The man's eyes rolled and he immediately started to cry out in pain, his cry sounding extremely miserable.
Those who didn't know would think that Xi Lin didn't grab his collar, but was strangling his neck.
Seeing him screaming with saliva flying everywhere, Xi Lin let go of his hand in disgust. He turned to look at Doctor Sun and others who were standing there in a daze, and said coldly: "Don't stand there like an idiot. Hurry and take Elder Li down to give him the medicine."
Doctor Sun responded quickly and asked a few medicine boys to help carry the person.
The man who was sitting on the ground and about to throw a tantrum saw this and immediately refused to do so. He shouted, "He can't leave. No one can leave today without giving the princess an explanation!"
"An explanation?" Xi Lin raised his eyebrows coldly, looked past him at Zhuang Shihan, and asked in a deep voice, "Princess Shihan, tell me, what explanation do you want from Master Li?"
Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed, and for a moment she wanted to curse, but she could only pretend to be embarrassed and said, "Divine Doctor Xi misunderstood me. Today's incident was actually caused by a misunderstanding.
It’s all my fault for not explaining things clearly in advance, causing everyone to mistakenly think that I was wronged, which is why I spoke rudely to Mr. Li.
As an elder, Mr. Li has served in the army for many years and made great contributions. How could he be wrong? If I were to say it, I should give him an explanation."
She looked at the troublemaker and said angrily, "Let me ask you, you keep saying you'll make the decision for me, but have I ever said anything about Mr. Li deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Upon hearing this, there was a sudden sigh from the surroundings.
Although Zhuang Shihan's words just now sounded ambiguous, if you ask her what she said, she definitely didn't say anything.
But if it was a misunderstanding, it couldn't be that everyone was blind and saw and heard it wrong, right?
The man looked at Zhuang Shihan who was trying to calm things down, and then looked at Xi Lin who was in a domineering manner, and the balance in his heart suddenly tilted even more.
But he was afraid of the Xi family's reputation, and he didn't dare to directly criticize Xi Lin. He could only stiffen his neck and say, "Princess Shihan saved everyone's lives. If anyone doesn't like it and wants to embarrass her, just step over our dead bodies!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of agreement from all around.
The slogans were shouted with great force, and if you didn't look closely at their faces, they didn't look like people who were sick.
If Xi Lin had not still retained his rationality, he would have been so angry at the scene before him that he would have vomited three liters of blood.
He looked at Zhuang Shihan, whose eyes were filled with emotion and who was clearly enjoying the experience, and said with a sarcastic curl of his lips, "Princess Shihan, studying medicine is really a waste of your talent. You should go into opera."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked.
In Daan, although Laban's opera performances were highly praised, people looked down on the profession of opera performers from the bottom of their hearts and even considered them to be the lowest class.
If you call someone an actor for no reason, at best you will be scolded, and at worst you may even be beaten to death.
Especially since the person Xi Lin was talking about was Zhuang Shihan, who was now worshipped as a god by them, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had violated the laws of heaven.
They were so angry that they didn't care about the influence of Xi family on Da'an. They just wanted to vent their anger for Zhuang Shihan.
Some even shouted viciously, "I don't care about the Xi family. The real talent is to get out of this alive!"
If he had accidentally died of the epidemic in the city, no one would know what happened today.
Although he didn't say the rest of the sentence, the others all thought of the same thing tacitly, and their eyes became more ferocious than each other.
Realizing that something was wrong with these people, Xi Lin silently put his hands behind his waist and took out a small paper bag.
It was the knockout drug that Song Yanxi had specially given him before he came back.
The quantity is not much, but it is enough to protect yourself.
"Big guys, come on!"
I don't know who shouted, but several strong men suddenly rushed to the front, each with a ferocious face as if they wanted to eat people.
Only then did Xi Lin see clearly that these people clearly had murderous intentions.
At the critical moment, a chubby boy stumbled in from outside the door, his face covered in blood.
When he saw Zhuang Shihan behind the crowd, he burst into tears and was heartbroken.
Someone recognized him and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Zhuangzhuang from Erniu's family? Why did you come out without a mask? Where's your mother?"
Hearing the key words, Zhuangzhuang cried even harder and stammered, "Mother...she won't wake up. I can't wake her up."
Zhuang Shihan's expression suddenly changed. She rushed over from the crowd, grabbed his wrist, and said excitedly, "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Zhuangzhuang was so frightened that he forgot to cry and said blankly, "Mom is asleep and I can't wake her up."
Upon hearing this, the people around him instantly quieted down.
Except for a few young children, everyone present knew what had happened, and their faces were uglier than each other.
"Zhuangzhuang's mother got sick one day later than me, how come..." A woman spoke weakly, and couldn't help crying before she finished her words.
Everyone knows that epidemics can kill people, but when people realize that they can die too, it’s hard for them to face it calmly.
An atmosphere of fear quickly spread among the crowd, and along with the suppressed cries, there were also whispers of doubt.
"Can the princess really save us? I haven't married yet, and I don't want to die."
Although the person next to her didn't say anything, she didn't stop her either. She just stared at Zhuang Shihan without blinking, clearly waiting for her to speak.
Even Xi Lin was staring at him seriously, waiting for her to speak.
It's not so much that I want to hear what she says, but rather that I want to see how she plans to comfort everyone in this situation.
The people's will is like a sharp knife if used well, but it is even sharper when used poorly and turned against oneself.
When no one believed her anymore, he wanted to see how she planned to end it!
Zhuang Shihan understood Xi Lin's eyes and clenched her fists involuntarily. She secretly told herself to stay calm.
The more they wanted to make fun of her, the more she couldn't let them succeed!
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Shihan released Zhuangzhuang's wrist, reached out and touched his head, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, your mother must be too tired and fell asleep. I'll go with you to check on her now."
Zhuangzhuang raised his head and looked at her, his tears mixed with the blood from the scratches on his face flowing into his collar. He choked and said, "Really? Fairy sister, you can't lie to Zhuangzhuang."
He thought of something and said, "Mom's hands are so nice..."
Zhuang Shihan quickly interrupted him and said, "Your mother had a high fever last night. It's normal for her hands to feel a little hot. I'll go over and give her acupuncture right away."
When he heard that she was going over, Zhuangzhuang nodded hurriedly.
In his heart, as long as Zhuang Shihan is willing to go and treat his mother, his mother will be fine.
Gently taking Zhuangzhuang's hand, Zhuang Shihan looked at the other patients who hadn't been seen yet, bowed slightly and said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll be back soon."
Human life is at stake, no one dares to say no.
A woman wiped her tears and said, "Sister Chunhua has such a miserable life. Her husband died last year and now she has encountered this terrible thing this year. I want to go over and see her too."
"no!"
Zhuang Shihan suddenly raised her voice, realizing that everyone was looking at her with a strange look in their eyes. She quickly pretended to be serious and said, "Zhuangzhuang's mother is very ill. The reason I didn't let her come for treatment these days was because I was afraid of cross infection and making everyone else sicker."
