Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang paused slightly, pretending not to hear, and continued to follow the villagers back.
"Smack!"
Meng Yi pulled out his whip and lashed it hard against the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The tip of the whip barely struck Xuanfeng's prison uniform on the back.
Xuanfeng turned his head, exchanged a glance with Xuanshuang, and stopped in his tracks.
Upon hearing the sound, the village chief walked towards Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang.
Xuan Shuang turned her head first.
His usually stern face instantly broke into a smile, as if he had undergone a complete transformation...
He then turned back to Meng Yi and asked ingratiatingly, "Sir, are you calling us?"
Meng Yi frowned, looking at him with a gloomy expression, as well as at Xuan Feng, who was still facing away.
The village chief rushed over and spoke kindly to Meng Yi, introducing the two as newly arrived convicts who worked very hard, helping everyone carry water...
"Are they people from Princess Cheng's entourage?"
Meng Yi asked angrily.
Only then did the village chief learn of Ning Xi'er and Xie Zhun's identities.
While amazed, I felt even more respect for their help.
He was exiled here at a young age and knew very little about the situation in the imperial court.
Although it's unclear why Prince Cheng and his wife were exiled here, based on their interactions over the past two days...
The village chief was still able to distinguish right from wrong and begged Meng Yi to let him take Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang away so as not to delay the delivery of water.
Meng Yi was very dissatisfied with the village chief's stance, and his eyes were filled with malice as he looked at him.
Suddenly, a woman's urgent shouts came from the direction of the villagers.
"My husband!"
The village chief's wife was seen running towards him, with a thin villager helping to carry the child.
The person the villager was holding was the village chief's son!
The village chief, disregarding the situation, rushed forward to the wife and child, and quickly asked what had happened.
The village chief's wife wept uncontrollably, pointing at the child, unable to utter a single word due to her anxiety.
The villagers quickly said that the child was having difficulty breathing and was coughing up white foam...
The village chief took the child and found that the child's face was pale and breathing was very weak. His hands and feet immediately turned cold.
The villagers reminded them that they brought the child over because they heard the military supervisor had invited a doctor from Pingyuan, and they wanted to see if the doctor could save the child...
No sooner had the villager finished speaking than the village chief turned around, preparing to take the child and plead with Yan Lang ahead...
An arm was placed across the village chief's face.
Meng Yi, holding a long whip, said with disdain, "How can the doctor invited by the military supervisor be at your beck and call?"
The village chief's eyes were already red, and he was about to plead when Meng Yi said again:
"If you want to see a doctor, go to the county town and find one yourself!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers nearly ground their back teeth to powder, but dared not show it.
Tears welled in the village chief's eyes, and the child in his arms suddenly coughed, breathing rapidly, as if in a final struggle...
The situation was urgent. Xuanfeng, who was standing to the side, snatched the child from the village chief and ran towards the doctor who was treating the refugees one by one.
The village chief realized what was happening and immediately followed.
Although not as fast as Xuanfeng, he was close behind and soon knelt down in front of Yan Lang.
Meng Yi turned around in a rage, clearly not expecting them to be so bold as to completely disregard his words.
He waved his hand, signaling several soldiers to seize the village chief's wife and the villagers, and then followed.
Xuan Shuang stayed behind Xuan Feng the whole time.
Xuanfeng brought the child to the doctor, and the convict being treated there immediately recognized him as the village chief's child and quickly stepped aside...
I beg the doctor to examine and treat my child now.
Two months after Yan Lang arrived, his subordinates, including the military supervisors, paid lip service to him but secretly disobeyed him, and did not respect this newly appointed commander.
Relying on his seniority, he formed cliques and attempted to sideline Yan Lang.
But the village chief was honest and law-abiding, and he tried his best to accommodate Yan Lang's demands...
Therefore, Yan Lang had a good impression of the village chief.
Upon seeing the village chief kneeling, Yan Lang personally helped him up.
Upon hearing the village chief's plea, Yan Lang immediately nodded and went over personally to have the doctor examine him.
The doctor was someone Yan Lang had asked Pingyuan Xianling to invite; he was not some great philanthropist who practiced medicine and saved lives.
If Yan Lang hadn't personally spoken, he wouldn't have bothered to look at a beggar.
But since Yan Lang had spoken, he glanced at the child in Xuan Feng's arms.
He merely glanced at the child, without even touching the child's mouth, nose, or limbs, and declared, "There's no cure! Go home and wait to die!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanfeng, who was usually calm, immediately clenched his fists as he held the child!
Everyone says doctors are benevolent, but are there really doctors who not only fail to take their patients seriously and disregard the feelings of family members, but also treat them with disrespect and contempt?!
Upon hearing this, the village chief swayed and almost fell over again...
Fortunately, Xuan Shuang reacted quickly and caught the person in time.
The village chief rushed over, knelt down in front of the doctor, and begged him to examine him more carefully.
The doctor immediately turned hostile, "What? You doubt my medical skills?!"
"If I say he's not going to live, even a miracle worker couldn't save him!"
"Thump!"
A few steps behind, the village chief's wife, overwhelmed with anxiety, fainted.
The villagers broke free of their restraints, trying to wake the village chief's wife.
The village chief looked dazed. Yan Lang couldn't bear it and asked the doctor a question as well.
The doctor's expression immediately changed, his smile becoming respectful and humble:
"Reporting to the supervising officer, this child is suffering from asthma, an illness that requires slow and gradual treatment and cannot be cured completely..."
It's obvious at a glance that this child is having an acute attack; no matter what you do, it's useless..."
The convicts waiting for their medical appointments looked at the village chief and his three families with sadness and reluctance.
Seeing that the doctor said this, Yan Lang could not say anything more.
Suddenly, Xuanfeng picked up the child and ran towards the village...
Even a great immortal couldn't save him!
Today I'll show you who's more powerful than a celestial being!
