"It's getting late. I'll go over there before it gets completely dark. I'll trouble the female manager to look after this place. I'll try to go early and come back early." Li Xia blinked, she raised her head, looked up at Ying Niang, opened her mouth, and spoke to her.
Even if she went to the place where she was setting up a stall to apply pesticides at this time, there was no guarantee that she would meet those people.
After all, it would take time for them to return. Moreover, after she and Xiao Yihe returned to the inn, she also healed his wounds, which also took time.
All this time added up to a lot.
Zhou Ping and his men had special identities. Even though the fat guy and his men behaved badly, the most they could do was give them a good beating and teach them a lesson, but they would not really kill them.
Otherwise it will be of no benefit to either party.
Although because of the war now, officials in many places have almost stopped caring about things and are only concerned about protecting themselves.
In today's chaotic world, it is human nature to choose to protect oneself.
However, if something serious like a loss of life really happened in the territory under his jurisdiction, the city magistrate could not turn a blind eye.
If as an official he does nothing.
Ordinary people at the bottom of society will think of their own situation.
If they think that their safety cannot be guaranteed where they live, it will cause unrest among the people, resulting in a peasant uprising.
After all, the war has not yet spread here.
As a local official, he has the responsibility to ensure the safety of local people.
Even if it's just for show, you still need to fulfill your duties.
If a war really comes to the area under his jurisdiction one day, he will have to escape and no one will care about this.
Yingniang nodded, licked her lips, and then said, "Okay, Miss Li, you can go. Although I can't help you with things like curing illnesses and saving lives, I can take care of your brother for a while. Okay, Miss Li, I won't say anything more. I'm sorry to waste your time. It's really getting late now. You should leave quickly. Be safe. Go early and come back early. You don't have to worry about the things here at the inn. I'm here."
She swallowed and moistened her throat.
I don't know any medical skills, but I can still help with some small things that require little effort and help relieve some of Miss Li's worries.
Although it was late for Miss Li to set out at this time, as long as she did not delay on the road and walked a little faster, she should be able to get back before dark.
Yingniang was worried that it would be unsafe after dark, so she spoke up and reminded her to come back quickly.
It's not that she's afraid of trouble or anything.
If it was still early, she wouldn't say a word if Li Xia wanted to go earlier or later.
Now many places are engulfed in war. Because of the war, food crops and other supplies have suffered varying degrees of damage, and many civilians are starving.
When many people are suffering from long-term hunger, the public security of a place cannot be guaranteed at all.
Hearing this, Li Xia nodded and replied with her mouth open: "Well, shopkeeper, I will pay attention to it. I will leave now."
She licked her lips, looked up at Ying Niang, opened her lips and spoke to her.
