Chapter 182: You are not alone
There are so many disaster victims in front of Su Tan, and so many children younger than Song Xiao and even Sui Sui waiting for her to rescue.
These days, Lu Zhiheng even ordered that no one was allowed to disturb her with trivial matters.
It’s just to save every person.
But at this moment, someone close to Song Tingchen came, and what he brought was just a trivial matter like Song Xiao had caught a cold.
The accompanying imperial physician was no ordinary person either.
You won't be able to tell the difference between a common cold and an epidemic.
Su Tan continued to cast spells, his eyes falling on the servant with a dissatisfied face. His brows were furrowed, as if covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.
"He is ill. You should find the accompanying imperial physician."
"The imperial physician will treat his cold."
"I still have so many disaster victims here, and right now there's this little girl waiting for me to rescue her."
She didn't have time to get involved with Song Tingchen and Song Xiao.
In the past few days, she even sent the little nightmare ghost to find the souls of those children that had not yet dissipated.
She wished she could split herself into two people just to save one more person.
At this critical juncture, she would not allow anyone or anything to distract her.
The servant's heart sank. He had never seen such a cruel mother. His face twisted with anger and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
"The young master is so sick that he's almost unable to wake up. As a mother, don't you plan to go and see him?"
"County Lady Jiayi, the young master is still just a child!"
"Rather than the imperial physician, he would rather have his biological mother by his side to take care of him at this time!"
As the attendant spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his voice was choked with sobs, "Did you know? Back in the capital, the young master was stabbed by that vicious wife Liu Qingyin."
"He almost didn't wake up. If you felt sorry for him, you should have..."
Before the servant could finish his words, Su Tan had him thrown out.
She ignored those unimportant things and continued to supply spiritual power to the little girl in front of her.
The little girl's internal organs were severely injured. She fell countless times while fleeing and suffered from hunger and cold. Sometimes she was beaten and bleeding just for grabbing a bite of food.
She even had to be on guard against someone targeting her and cooking her and eating her.
This girl can hardly hold on any longer.
But she wasn't supposed to be short-lived.
Su Tan closed his eyes and continued to supply spiritual power to the little girl. Her internal organs barely healed, and the little girl spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.
What was vomited out also included the pieces of meat from before.
She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Su Tan, whose face was slightly pale. There was golden light lingering on his fingertips, and that golden light was drilling into her body.
The little girl weakly widened her eyes and looked at Su Tan in surprise, "You...are you the fairy sister?"
The emperor didn't send anyone to rescue them, but did a fairy suddenly appear in the sky?
The little girl's eyes were sore, and she suddenly pursed her lips and cried out in grievance, "Fairy sister, my...my grandma, grandma starved to death, and her body...her body was eaten."
Dad, with tears in his eyes, asked her to drink the soup.
But she didn't want to drink.
Dad gave her the drink with red eyes.
After drinking it, she vomited it out again.
"Wow, fairy sister, why... why do people eat people..."
"I don't want to eat people... I don't want to eat my grandma, and Mom and Dad don't want to eat her either. But Mom and Dad say that if we don't eat her, Grandma's death would be in vain... And they say that we will die with her..."
The little girl cried as she spoke these words, coughing as she did so, until all the broken pieces of flesh from her internal organs came out.
Su Tan felt upset.
None of this should have happened.
Originally...originally, so many people didn't have to die.
She reached out her hand, held the little girl in her arms, lowered her eyes and closed them, "I'm sorry..."
"It's my sister who's late."
If she had come earlier, perhaps she could have sent the message to the capital earlier.
Maybe so many people wouldn't have died.
The little girl nestled in Su Tan's arms, her voice muffled. Although she was young, she was not ignorant of right and wrong. She knew what was good and what was bad.
"No...it's not Fairy Sister's fault."
"Yes...it's the Emperor."
Hatred emerged in the little girl's pure eyes.
When she was young, she heard others say that the emperor was a good emperor and that he loved his people like his own children.
It is said that he loved all the children from poor families in the world as if they were his own children.
But since the snowstorm, they have waited for so long, but the emperor has never sent anyone to rescue them.
Instead, we received news of increased taxes.
Su Tan couldn't say anything to excuse Emperor Qinglong.
If Lu Zhiheng had not exposed this matter in front of all the civil and military officials, making Emperor Qinglong lose face, the disaster relief food would probably have to be delivered only after all the people had died.
Su Tan patted the little girl's shoulder gently and sighed softly, "Go to sleep first."
"You still need to get some sleep now, dear. You're not well yet."
The little girl is weak now and needs to rest well.
No matter how much hatred or resentment you have in your heart, you have to take care of your health before you can talk about it.
Nothing is more important than living.
The little girl nestled in Su Tan's arms and indeed felt very sleepy. Her body needed to heal itself, and she was so sleepy that she fell into a deep sleep in a moment.
Su Tan sighed, carried the little girl to the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
She walked out of the tent and ran into Lu Zhiheng holding Sui Sui who was sleeping soundly.
Su Tan paused, a look of distress spreading across his brows, "Did Sui Sui faint from exhaustion again?"
Using spiritual power to save people requires a huge amount of mental energy.
Even she couldn't bear it.
What's more, Sui Sui is still young.
Lu Zhiheng nodded, his eyes were full of bruises.
During this period, he was very busy.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen, who has always lived a life of luxury, has been trying hard to exchange things for money these days to buy rice and medicinal herbs.
There is no way, there are simply too many victims.
Especially the sick victims.
Su Tan took out a spiritual fruit from the space and handed it to Lu Zhiheng. "I'm busy saving the remaining victims and don't have time to give this to Sui Sui in person. Your Highness, when Sui Sui wakes up, you can teach her to eat this. It will help her recover faster."
By saving people here every year, my merits and cultivation are constantly increasing.
However, Suisui seemed to be stuck in some dead end. Every time his cultivation advanced a little, he would make himself more tired.
Lu Zhiheng nodded tiredly, and couldn't help but say, "You should also take care of your own body."
"Su Tan, you are not a human being, so don't treat yourself as a nobody."
