Chapter 35 Rescue
Shen Shiqian agreed and prepared to make two plans. It was easy to use the common people, but the difficult part was to contact the Dongyi people.
After so many years of fighting, a deep hatred has been formed, but everyone is familiar with each other, so it is still possible to get in touch.
Shen Shiqian wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to the Dongyi people, now the Dongyi Alliance.
Yes, the Dongyi only have alliances. The Dongyi are composed of various ethnic minorities, each with its own tribe, none of whom submits to the others. Except in times of war, all other matters require consultation, with no single individual making the final decision. This is why, for so many years, Yanquan County has been able to resist the Dongyi with a single civilian organization. Even the garrison, which was able to withstand Dongyi attacks after less than a month of training, was able to do so because they had no leader.
This is a bit off topic. Shen Shiqian wrote in the letter that Lu Chenyang has mastered the medicine that can make them immune to the miasma. If they want to destroy the Dongyi people, it will only take a thought. The reason why they haven't taken action yet is because the medicine has not been prepared. In time, when they have enough antidotes, it will be the day when the Dongyi people are exterminated.
The Dongyi people were not so stupid as to know that the letter was exaggerated. They were not willing to be destroyed just like that. The rainforest and mountains were their best protection.
But they also believed what Shen Shiqian said, because Lu Chenyang's commando team was indeed not affected by the miasma. If he remembered to send people over for a stroll in the future, could they bear it?
So even though they knew that Shen Shiqian was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, the Dongyi people had to jump into this trap.
Shen Shiqian threw this matter to the Dongyi people, and he turned around and arranged for the people to go to Lu Chenyang's county government office to cry and complain.
When a yamen runner saw this scene, he knew that this must be the arm of the Shen family, and he couldn't help but gloat.
"This alone is enough to make that young county magistrate suffer a lot. He even wants to go against the Shen family. Humph, he's overestimating himself. County Lieutenant Xu is still wavering. He thinks too highly of that young county magistrate." A county official said sarcastically, "I'll go in and report it. I want to see how he handles this."
Ever since Lu Chenyang came to the county government, he has never used the county government's runners, and the two sides have kept to themselves.
This made the yamen runners very dissatisfied. Lu Chenyang actually didn't take them seriously and just left them alone.
Lu Chenyang remained calm when he received the news. The yamen runner snorted in his heart, thinking that he was just pretending.
When Lu Chenyang walked out, he heard a group of people crying and shouting at the gate of the county government office.
"Sir, please have mercy on us. How are we going to survive the winter if we can't buy cloth?" These were ordinary people. They said that Lu Chenyang had withheld the Shen family's goods, leaving them unable to buy cloth and unable to survive the winter.
"Damn it! The price of cloth is rising so fast now, it's really hard to make a living! How can I survive? I finally saved enough money to make a cotton-padded jacket for my child, but now what should I do?"
Lu Chenyang: “…”
There was also a man dressed like a merchant's owner who stepped forward and said to Lu Chenyang, "Sir Lu, there is something wrong with the Shen family's goods, and I dare not say anything. But I had ordered these goods before, and I have already paid the deposit. If the goods cannot be delivered on time, I will have to pay liquidated damages. I thought we were robbed by Fairy Mountain, and now that the court has found the stolen goods, can you please return them to me?" After saying that, he knelt down in front of Lu Chenyang with a thud.
Just as Lu Chenyang was about to speak, he heard someone shout, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Someone's been bitten by a snake."
Someone rushed to the county government office holding a child, and knelt down when he saw Lu Chenyang: "Sir, please save this child."
How could I get bitten by a snake in the middle of winter?
A little girl of six or seven years old, her face was pale, her ankle was swollen and had two teeth marks on it.
Lu Chenyang didn't have time to think about it. He lowered his head and sucked out the poison from the wound. It took more than ten mouthfuls for the blood to turn red.
Everyone looked at Lu Chenyang, watching him suck the girl's poisonous blood again and again without hesitation. For some reason, watching the handsome and elegant top scholar lower his head to suck the girl's blood, they felt an indescribable shock.
Lu Chenyang took out a bag from his arms, took out a pill and fed it to the little girl.
He picked up the little girl horizontally, turned around and said, "You go back first. If you have any problems, come to the county government office tomorrow. I will give you an explanation." After a pause, he said to the person who brought the little girl, "Come in with me."
After he said that, he carried the little girl and ran into the county government office.
The group of people that Shen Shiqian had called in to cause trouble looked at each other. That wasn't right. They had said there was nothing to do with the little girl. Was this the young master adding to the drama again?
Lu Chenyang sent the little girl back to her room. He asked the man who followed her, "What kind of snake bit her?"
"I don't know." The man said neatly.
Lu Chenyang glanced at him and said, "Uh, I don't know. I was chopping wood in the mountains when I saw her get bit by a snake. I was just seeing something unfair, so I sent her here."
Don’t send someone to the clinic, send them to the government office.
Running up the mountain in the middle of winter and getting bitten by a snake? This lie doesn't need to be scrutinized.
Lu Chenyang first boiled medicine for the little girl and bandaged her wound. After Zhao Xi came back in the evening, he carefully examined and treated the little girl again.
Zhao Xi was furious when she heard this. This was clearly a frame-up for her family. How could it be so cruel?
Zhao Xi was on high alert and must not let the bad guys succeed in their plot.
Zhao Xi personally decocted and boiled the medicine, and even used acupuncture, determined to save the little girl's life.
Chang Jing was very jealous: "When I was injured, Sister Zhao Xi didn't seem to care so much."
Zhao Xi gave him a cold look: "How can you compare with her?" This is an important witness who framed her family!
Changjing was shocked. How could she hurt his heart like this? He even regarded her as his benefactor!
Zhao Xi used all his strength to treat the little girl, and was much more attentive than when he treated Chang Jing's injuries. As a result, the little girl recovered very quickly and woke up that night.
Lu Chenyang didn't ask her anything, but just asked Zhao Xi to take good care of her.
Zhao Xi said, "She was poisoned by the five-step snake, which is very poisonous. Fortunately, she met a good person like you, otherwise she would have died here today."
Lu Chenyang's face darkened. "The Shen family's methods are truly despicable! They can even harm such a young child!"
He had repeatedly attacked civilians, and this had already crossed his bottom line. This time, he even wanted to kill a little girl. How old was she? The Shen family was so careless about human life.
Zhao Xi consoled him, saying, "There are countless people in this world who sell their children for money. How could those rich and powerful care about the lives of their subjects? There are many who take human life lightly, and only a few are as kind-hearted and compassionate as you, sir."
So this is why her brother, Lu Chenyang, wants to be an official.
Zhao Xi saw Lu Chenyang's sadness and felt heartbroken. People with great kindness would pity all the sorrow in the world, so they would suffer even more.
Zhao Xi felt warm in her heart, thinking that her parents were the best people in the world. Those who made her sad should die!
Zhao Xi said softly, "Sir, you saved another person. This is a good thing. If she hadn't met you, she would have died."
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "That's because she was lucky enough to meet our Zhao Xi. Our Zhao Xi medical skills are so superb, so we were able to save her. You are her blessing."
Zhao Xi was praised and felt extremely happy.
Lu Chenyang hoped that many people would have such a blessing. Her eyes flashed, "Zhao Xi, go call Lu Ning over."
Lu Ning came in quickly, and Lu Chenyang whispered a few words to him. Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, looked at him in surprise, and nodded in response.
