Chapter 505 Chapter 506. Complaining
Ah Liu then remembered that there were still several other places where medicine had not been delivered, "It's really a tough job."
As he spoke, he asked two yamen runners to help carry the medicine barrels, "Send some to the prison cells as well. We can't afford to lose all of them. We still rely on them for food this year..."
After Ah Liu left, the prison boss began to urge them again, "Don't just stand there, get to work."
"Brother, we just took the medicine, shouldn't we be allowed to rest for a while? It would not be good if we get sick!" Tian Er had just received praise from Ah Liu, and he felt a little overwhelmed, and blurted out words without thinking.
"What's wrong with that?" The whip kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground. "If you drink the medicine, it means you won't die. Why don't you get to work quickly? Anyone who's lazy should be careful with the whip in my hand."
Those who were originally a little nervous relaxed after hearing this. Yes, their lives were still useful, and it seemed that these officials of the Rong Dynasty did not want them to die.
Shan Lao Da was very depressed. He thought he had finally found a good opportunity, but who knew that something unexpected would happen so quickly.
Now that these people's lives are temporarily saved, are they still willing to take risks with me?
"I think you'd better give up on that plan for now," Boss Shan never expected that Lord Lang would be the first one to jump out and go back on his word.
"Why? We can take advantage of their relaxation and rush out in one fell swoop."
"Hey, what are those two eyes of yours for? Which eye of yours saw that they relaxed? When we went out, didn't we all see that several more checkpoints were added?
The most important thing for us now is to save our lives. If we run away, will they still give us the medicine that can cure the plague?"
After weighing the pros and cons, Lord Lang naturally chose the way to live.
If you rush out, you will risk your life. If you stay here, at least you can keep your life and there are infinite possibilities in the future.
Shan Lao Da, "…What if this medicine is fake?"
"Are you still afraid that they will poison us?" Lord Lang said self-deprecatingly, "We are more useful to them alive than dead.
Besides, they have been drinking the medicine for more than half an hour, and you can see that everyone is full of energy and vitality. "
Boss Shan was also confused. Could it be that the plague that people on their island were so terrified of could be cured here?
That day, everyone was safe and sound. When another large bucket of potion was placed in front of them for the second time, they consciously came over with their bowls.
The same situation occurred simultaneously in several other wastelands. After drinking for three days in a row, they were told that everything would be fine, and the harsh and heavy life of land reclamation was waiting for them again.
Jin Qianqian didn't expect that Gu Wenheng and Zhou Shixiong would take things to this extent just for her small suggestion.
“Is that medicine reliable?”
Gu Wenheng, "Of course it's reliable. One bowl of it can sterilize you. I even prepared it for two more days just in case.
Later, I consulted several doctors, and they confirmed that even if a miracle doctor were alive, these people would not be able to have children. "
Jin Qianqian: "...well done."
Gu Wenheng also felt that this was a reliable approach. Those who knew the inside story were all Brother Zhou's confidants. This matter was done secretly and it could be regarded as solving a major worry in the future.
"The same goes for the ones in the cell?"
Gu Wenheng, "This is natural."
Jin Qianqian didn’t know how to express it at the moment and could only give two thumbs up.
It’s not that they are cruel, but the crimes committed by this island country in the future are simply too numerous to list.
They are now helping to reduce the population, which can be considered as doing good deeds for them.

In Lucheng, Jin Qianqian can be said to be the lady with the highest status. The families of other garrisons are all in the capital, and those who serve them are just concubines. Jin Qianqian naturally will not live with them.
The officials under Gu Wenheng did have families, but their status was too different, and most people did not dare to invite them actively.
Jin Qianqian, who had no social engagements, always had to find something to do.
It happened that many businesses had moved out of Lucheng before, so she took advantage of the opportunity to buy some shops at a very low price and slowly established her own business here.

As soon as Bai Jinglie arrived in Lucheng, he happened to see Jin Qianqian's soap shop opening. Now the group was sitting in a private room of the newly opened Tianfu Restaurant.
Looking at Bai Jinglie who had grown a beard, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but glance at Gu Wenheng's smooth chin.
It seems that maybe she really can't stop it for too long, and growing a beard seems to be a trend.
As soon as Gu Wenheng raised his eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and when Bai Jinglie lowered his head to bring the water, he winked at her.
Bai Jinglie never imagined that this couple would reach their current status, and that there are endless possibilities in the future.
"Brother Gu, it is often said that a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. This is absolutely true. I guess I will have to rely on your care in the future."
Gu Wenheng, "You are such a jokester, my Lord. You must have worked hard on this journey. I'll toast you a glass."
Although Bai Jinglie now has the identity of a marquis's son, his official position is only fifth rank.
"I dare not. We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's raise our glasses together."
After spending these few years outside, Bai Jinglie has become more reserved than before.
The two of them talked back and forth for a while before getting down to business.
Bai Jinglie, "Are you sure about the sea trade?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head. "I dare not give you a definite answer. After all, there are factors of natural disasters and man-made disasters involved. No one can say for sure."
"I still remember when we were in Haicheng, the foreign merchant ships there always made me jealous," Bai Jinglie leaned back in his chair, "but the other party was always unwilling to cooperate, and didn't even give me the opportunity to go on board for a visit.
Now you say you can go out to sea and build your own boat, but you haven't even started yet. Isn't this a little unreliable?"
Gu Wenheng, "No matter what you do, there are always risks. If there is cash to be picked up, who would still work hard?"
"Isn't it a bit ridiculous to rely on your practical drawings?"
"If Master Bai doesn't believe it, why would he make this trip?"
…
"Hey," Bai Jinglie said defeatedly, "It's been a while since we last met, and Brother Gu has become more and more eloquent.
The orders from the glass workshops I have are decreasing day by day. If I don’t find another way out, I will run out of money.”
Gu Wenheng, "It shouldn't be that serious. Although it will be more stable, there is still a stable source of customers. Don't set too high a standard."
Although he did not participate in it, he had a sense of responsibility in his heart.
Although people will lose the initial excitement and desire to compare with each other, this thing is not indestructible and will always need to be replaced with a new one.
Besides, there is a mirror at the back, so even if there is less business, it won’t be as difficult as he said.
I have to complain. I really ran into a bad guy when I was queuing for nucleic acid testing. I encountered more than a dozen elderly people who cut in line. When the volunteers stepped forward to persuade them, these elderly people warned them in a serious tone, "Don't touch them. You can't be responsible if you knock them down."
Although this rogue display caused public outrage, nothing could be done about it. They left smugly after the nucleic acid test...
