Chapter 18 Who is stingy?



Chapter 18 Who is stingy?

Jiang Moyu walked out of the darkness quickly with something in his hand.

"Xier, look quickly."

When Jiang Moyu came closer, Lin Xiyan saw clearly that he was holding two rabbits in his hands.

"Wow!" Lin Xiyan exclaimed.

"Brother Mo Yu, you're so awesome! You actually caught two rabbits!"

Everyone in the main room also looked at Jiang Moyu with approval.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Moyu handed the two rabbits to Lin Xiyan, "Sister Xier, these are for you."

Like a young boy, he scratched his head shyly.

"Thank you, Brother Mo Yu." Lin Xiyan was about to reach out to take it, but was stopped by Lin Muyi.

"Xiaoer, if you want to eat wild rabbit, I'll catch it for you."

Are you trying to kidnap our eldest sister?

"Brother Mo Yu, you caught this rabbit with great difficulty, so why don't you keep it for yourself?" Lin Xiyan glanced at Lin Muyi and politely declined.

Jiang Moyu stood there stubbornly, still holding the rabbit in his hand.

"I was alone originally, and you took good care of me, making me feel at home."

Lin Wuyu was deeply moved by his sincerity.

He patted Jiang Moyu's shoulder and said, "It's fate that we meet each other along the way. You and I are destined to be together!"

Having said that, he took the rabbit.

Lin Mu was also cautious, trying to prevent someone from kidnapping his sister.

They sat around the fire to keep warm, skewered hares on twigs and roasted them over the fire.

Lin Xiyan also secretly sprinkled some chili powder and cumin powder on it.

The fat of the rabbit was sizzling as it was roasted, and soon the aroma filled the air.

As expected, grilling with firewood is more delicious. Lin Xiyan almost drooled.

Lin Mucheng smelled the scent and walked over: "Brother Mo Yu, my sister is sick with a high fever and needs nutrition. Since we are on the same journey, can you give our Yiqing a wild rabbit?"

Jiang Moyu just felt it was strange. Your sister was sick, and not only did you not light a fire to keep her warm, but you also had the nerve to come and ask others for things.

Lin Muyi glanced at the desperate Lin Mucheng and said slowly, "Okay."

Seeing Lin Mucheng's eyes shining, he was about to take it.

Lin Muyi slapped his hand away and said, "You haven't finished yet. Okay, I'll give you the bone to chew on."

After saying that, he smiled smugly.

"How dare you play tricks on me!"

He then deliberately shouted, "You, the eldest wife, are so heartless! Not only did you not let your cousin warm herself by the fire when she was sick, you even refused to share your food!"

"She's having a terrible fever and there's no medicine. Are you going to just watch her die?"

Lin Wuyu glanced at Lin Yiqing, who was dying in the distance, and said helplessly, "Mu'er, just give him one."

"After you take it away from the second house, don't bother our first house anymore."

He made up his mind to break off all ties with the second wife.

"Okay! Thank you, uncle." After he took the leg, he happily went to the corner.

"Sir, can you give me some medicine? My little daughter has been feeling drowsy and has a fever all over her body since she got caught in the rain today."

A woman came forward and begged the fat yamen runner.

"Want medicine? No!"

"Sir, my old lady is the same. She got caught in the rain today and has been unconscious ever since."

More and more people came forward to cry.

Even some of the yamen runners began to cough.

The fat yamen runner then realized that the situation was not good and it was really a headache.

How can we go on when so many officials and prisoners are sick?

He suddenly thought of Lin Xiyan. She could poison herself and make medicine, and she could also find herbs in the miasma forest. Maybe she knew some medical skills!

The fat yamen runner walked up to Lin Xiyan with a bit of annoyance. Seeing that the eldest wife of the Lin family was looking at him very warily, he put on a flattering smile.

"Miss, may I have a moment to talk?"

Seeing the fat yamen runner's flattering look, Lin Xiyan nodded: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"We got caught in the rain today, and some people in the team have colds and coughs, while others have high fevers."

He looked at Lin Xiyan, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can you heal me?"

Lin Xiyan smiled and said, "I do know a little bit about medicine, but a good cook cannot cook without rice."

She changed the subject and pointed at the BMWs: "But we can use the herbs we bought in Zhuyang last time to make medicine."

The fat yamen runner's expression was initially relaxed, thinking that as long as there was a way, it would be fine.

But then he thought again, there were only two days' supply of medicine left. If he gave the medicine to others, his own poison would be impossible to cure. He looked conflicted.

"Your poison, I'll buy the herbs when I get to the Nanyan City Bank."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you can make the medicine."

The fat yamen runner couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He would ask his superiors to reimburse him later.

"Okay!" Lin Xiyan agreed happily.

Hehe, another profit.

Lin Xiyan called Jiang Moyu and asked him to take down the medicinal herbs on the horse, and then replaced them with common herbs in the space for treating colds and high fevers while no one was paying attention.

She collected the yamen runners' kettles and porridge pots and filled them with well water.

He asked Jiang Moyu to help him watch the fire, while he concentrated on preparing the medicinal herbs.

The people around were talking about it, all questioning whether Lin Xi's research could actually cure them. After all, where did a little girl get such ability?

Seeing Lin Xiyan's focused and serious look, his heart was beating fast.

"Looking at Lin Xiyan, it seems like she's really capable."

The water slowly boiled, and Lin Xiyan put it in a bowl, ready to distribute the medicine.

Unexpectedly, everyone just stopped and watched, and no one came forward to get the medicine.

She thought again and realized that it was natural for these people not to trust her. After all, who would dare to drink medicine made by a fourteen-year-old girl who had never learned anything?

Seeing that no one was taking medicine, a young man squeezed out of the crowd.

"Miss Xi, give me a bowl. You saved my grandmother in the miasma forest that day, so I naturally believe in your medical skills."

"My grandmother has a high fever and she saw you making medicine, so she hurriedly asked me to come and ask for a bowl."

"That's good, let grandma drink it while it's hot."

Lin Xiyan handed him a bowl of hot medicine.

A strong smell of Chinese medicine spread in the dilapidated temple.

The young man looked at Lin Xiyan with gratitude, then took the medicine with both hands and fed it to his grandmother.

When everyone saw that the old lady was fine after drinking it, they all came forward to ask for more.

Seeing the chaos, Lin Xiyan shouted, "Line up, come one by one."

Lin Mucheng, who was in the corner, saw this and wanted to go forward and ask for four bowls of medicine.

Lin Xiyan looked up at him and only gave him one bowl.

Lin Mucheng shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why do you give so much to others, but only one bowl to our second wife? Do you have any objections to the people in our second wife?"

"There's not much of this medicine, so it can only be distributed on demand. I see that only Lin Yiqing from your second house needs it. The other three are full of energy, so one bowl will be enough."

You're so shameless! I'm already giving it to you, and you still want more? No way!

The people in line behind urged: "Hurry up and leave after you take it. Don't block the road. Don't you see there are so many people behind you?"

Lin Mucheng had no choice but to leave in embarrassment, still shouting, "The people in the main house are really stingy."
