Chapter 62 63. Silver Notes
"Dashi's wife, Uncle San has no other intentions. I just want to ask you if you know where their family members are now?" Gu Sanbu didn't expect that his eyes would scare the other party like this.
Li Cuicui pointed in a direction casually, "I saw his wife and mother taking care of his father over there, you can go and look for him yourself!"
She didn't want to go over there, lest she look at that family and think about the water that was sent away.
Gu Yuanjin didn't want to get himself into trouble, so he supported Li Cuicui and said, "Mom, let's go back too. You can rest assured and I'll keep an eye on this side. Who of Lao Qi and the others has returned? I'll definitely notify you as soon as possible."
This old lady has managed to hold on until now, unlike her own father who doesn't care about anything. His cries are almost deafening.

"These two guys are really good-for-nothings. They want to sell us all out in exchange for their own benefits." Gu Shulin helped Gu Sanbu carefully return to his ox cart.
"Alas! Now I am glad that those treasures filled with water are gone. As long as we deny it flatly and insist that there is no miracle, even if the prefect believes it, they will not be able to find evidence if we do not admit it."
Gu Sanbu lay back on his bunk, and did not forget to explain, "I'll say hello to everyone when I have time, so that everyone can have an idea. We have never encountered any miracles, and the water we found along the way was all obtained with great difficulty."
"But will they believe it?"
"So what if you don't believe it? Where's the evidence? Let them go find the person who said it. Anyway, they can make up a miracle, so it's possible that they can provide some substantial evidence."

Seeing Lan Tian coming back with bruises all over his body, the Lan family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt their scalps tingling.
Lan Yongnan hasn't woken up yet, and his wounds haven't been treated yet. Now Lan Yun is sent back covered in wounds. Isn't this a threat to the lives of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
"Mom, what should we do now?" Liu Xiaoli had a bitter face and didn't even dare to take off Lan Yun's clothes.
"Go find the doctor right away and tell him we owe him, and ask him to come and save his life first."
"But the doctor won't agree. We've begged him before, and going back now would just be humiliating ourselves." Liu Xiaoli was really panicked. If the pillar of the family really fell down, her future fate would be unimaginable.
Lan Tian gritted her teeth, turned her back and took out a handful of banknotes from her bosom, found a smaller denomination banknote, turned around and handed it to Liu Xiaoli, "We have used up all the money we have now. This is all we have. Talk to the doctor, it should be enough for medical treatment and prescription medicine."
Liu Xiaoli, "Mom, the doctor is out of medicine. So many people were injured before, and they just picked up some herbs from the roadside to deal with it. My husband and dad were injured so badly, I guess the doctor surnamed Liu can't do anything."
"Whether there is medicine or not, you should find a doctor to treat my injury first." Lan Yun, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and glared at Liu Xiaoli fiercely, "If you don't find a doctor first, you will find an excuse first."
Under the stares of the Lan mother and son, Liu Xiaoli could only muster up the courage to walk towards Doctor Liu.
"Why are you in such a mess?" Lan Tian looked at her son's miserable state with distress. "Since you have entered the city, you should run for your life. Why did you come back?"
Lan Tian did not explain, "I thought I would be rewarded for reporting the miracle to the prefect, but I didn't expect to run into troublemakers and end up messing things up."
If He Tuliang hadn't said that the evidence was missing, the adults wouldn't have thought they were fooling him.
"What about your sister? Did you run into her?" Lan Tian gritted her teeth, "That kid from the Gu family hasn't come back yet. Do you think she ran away with that kid?"
Lan Yun shook his head. "I don't know about that. The scene was too chaotic at the time, and I could only follow the flow of people. I remember that the Gu family should have lined up in front of us. It was impossible for them to run into each other, right?"
"Then why hasn't she come back yet? She's a girl, could she have been kidnapped?"
Although refugees are worthless, for a girl like Lan Ying who is only 28 years old, that may not be the case.
"It's all my fault. If I had held on to my sister, everything would have been fine." Lan Tian struggled to sit up. "Then let's move to a place near the corner of the city, so that my sister can see us immediately when she comes out."
"How can it be our turn? That piece of land has long been occupied by those people from Baini'ao. Small families like ours, without anyone to take the lead, have been squeezed over here." Speaking of this, Lantian felt very unhappy.
As long as they left with their family, maybe they have found a stable place to settle down and their lives have returned to normal.
With the banknote, Doctor Liu did not insist on taking only water as the consultation fee. He came with his blackened medicine box and gave the father and son a simple treatment for their wounds.
"There is no medicine now. We just simply cleaned the wound with strong liquor. If the wound becomes festered tomorrow, we can only find a way to go to the city to find a doctor." Doctor Liu looked at the father and son on the ground with sympathy. Even though he had done simple treatment, the wound still kept bleeding. He really could only leave it to fate.
"No, you charged us so much for medical fees, and it's just as simple as that?" Nan Tian's heart ached. This was too dark.
Doctor Liu, "Is this easy? The wounds on these two people have almost used up my last bottle of strong liquor. You know, these things are very expensive now."
"Doctor, my mother is also worried." Lan Tian knew how important doctors were nowadays, and he couldn't offend them because of his mother.
"There's nothing we can do about this. Okay, I won't bother with a woman like her. You guys should have a good rest tonight. If he has a fever, try to cover his forehead with water and see if he can get through it."
Liu Xiaoli let go of Lantian's hand only after the doctor walked away. It turned out that Lantian didn't jump around because she was stopped by Liu Xiaoli.
"Why are you holding me? This Liu guy is really heartless. He just fooled me for a few times and dared to charge me so much money. Even the doctors in the royal city are not as expensive as him..."
"Mother, please stop talking." Lan Tian suddenly became quiet as soon as Lan Tian spoke. "He is the only doctor among all the refugees. If we offend him, we may not be able to get help from him in the future."
“…”
"Is there any water? I'm almost dying of thirst." Lan Tian hadn't had a drop of water the whole day and was already extremely thirsty. He had forced himself to talk so much before, and his mouth was now dry and cracked.
"Alas, with just this little bit of water, how are we going to live in the future?"
