Chapter 191 Jiang Mu's Changing View
"I knew you'd be distributing the medicine kits this time, and sure enough, I saw you as soon as I arrived." Huo Ran sighed softly. He didn't know what to say. Even though she had suffered a lot of grievances in Linshui County, she was still willing to help others. Perhaps that was one of the reasons he liked Jiang Mi.
He may say he's not a good person, but everything he does is for the benefit of others.
Jiang Mi was unaware that she had already become such a great figure in Huo Ran's heart. Anyway, she had no other use for these things. Helping everyone would also benefit her from the system. Moreover, her "good woman value" had increased.
"My original intention was to help everyone, but I didn't expect this to happen. Although it has little to do with me, I still feel very uncomfortable."
Jiang Mi glanced at the spot where the deceased had just been lying. Now there was no one there. It seemed that she felt the place was unlucky, and people passing by avoided it.
"Don't be sad. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, the examination has already been completed. It was because that person was in poor health and contracted the epidemic. It was only a matter of time. Moreover, the magistrate has promised to help the mother and child. You don't need to worry too much."
Jiang Mi nodded. Nothing can be perfect, and it's enough to help more people.
"How did you end up here?" Jiang Mi asked Huo Ran.
Huo Ran said, "I heard that many people in the town have been infected with the epidemic, so I came to check. Now quite a few people in the village have also been infected."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi felt utterly exhausted. It seemed that she hadn't made enough medicine packets to save anyone. She needed to find someone to help, and that person had to be trustworthy, otherwise, if something went wrong, someone could die.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Mi's predicament, Huo Ran suddenly suggested, "Are you short-handed? I can send my people to help out; having more people will increase efficiency."
Jiang Mi was naturally overjoyed: "That's wonderful! I was just worried about it. It's not easy to find someone from outside these days, but I trust your people quite a bit."
The guards behind Huo Ran looked helpless. They had once again been used as sacrifices to appease the girl by their master. How could they, as dignified guards, spend their days doing nothing but following women around?
Huo Ran, however, had no idea what they were thinking and was happy to be able to help Jiang Mi.
They walked towards the restaurant. This time, when Jiang's mother saw Huo Ran, her expression was much better than before. On the contrary, Jiang Cheng looked at Huo Ran with disdain.
"Young Master Huo has arrived? I heard you were also infected with the plague before, are you better now?"
Huo Ran quickly replied, "I'm all better now. I'm sorry to have worried you, Auntie. How are you feeling, Auntie?"
Mother Jiang nodded: "Much better. Almost everyone in our restaurant, except for Honey, was infected. Fortunately, everyone is fine now. What brings you here?"
Huo Ran quickly said, "I heard that Miss Jiang is helping everyone, so I also called my people to help, hoping that everyone can get this medicine. This is only for the people in the town; there are many people in the villages who have also been infected. Many people have died from this epidemic."
"What?" The Jiang family members exchanged glances. They knew that the epidemic was spreading rapidly and that some people must have died in the plague, but they did not expect that so many people would die.
Huo Ran sighed. He had already reported the situation to the imperial court, and the funds should arrive soon. The money would then be distributed to the people who had lost their families, but it was hard to say how much they would receive.
Jiang's mother sighed: "I've lived most of my life, and this is the second plague I've encountered. I was lucky when I was a child and survived. I'm lucky again this time, mainly because I have a capable daughter who saved my old life."
Jiang Mi leaned against her mother, acting coquettishly, "Mom, what's with all this talk about being old? In my heart, you'll always be young and beautiful. Don't talk like that anymore, I don't like hearing it."
Jiang's mother smiled helplessly, her face full of doting affection: "Alright, alright, who told you to be my good daughter? Whatever you say goes."
Jiang Mi couldn't keep acting cute in front of Huo Ran, so she got down to business: "Then come with me, brothers. I'll teach you how to wrap medicine. Also, some of the medicinal herbs I grow in my backyard still need some time to grow. Let's prioritize giving medicine to the infected people first."
Huo Ran nodded. He not only sent his people to learn from him, but he also came himself. He was like a strange student, seriously learning knowledge from the teacher.
"First, do it like this... then add these two herbs in as well... Do you understand?"
Jiang Mi looked at their wrappings, which were all quite professional. The worst thing about wrapping medicine is putting in the wrong dosage, otherwise the antidote could very well turn into poison.
“You…” Jiang Mi hesitated as she looked at the medicine Huo Ran had wrapped. “Didn’t I just say that the last two ingredients must be added last because they are very rare and cannot be exposed for too long. It’s best to wrap them up as soon as possible to ensure their efficacy.”
"Okay," Huo Ran replied obediently, then quickly wrapped up the medicine, and looked at Jiang Mi again, "Is this right?"
Jiang Mi nodded: "That's more like it. This child is teachable."
Suddenly, she burst out laughing. Jiang Mi's imitation of the teacher's head-shaking and swaying was just too funny.
Jiang Mi found it rare to see these grown men being so meticulous. Back in Linshui County, she had only a rough idea of Huo Ran's identity, and she knew that his identity was even more powerful than she had imagined. Now, seeing them patiently packing medicine for the people here was truly admirable.
When Jiang Mi went out to serve them tea, her mother was watching from outside, and she was very satisfied with Huo Ran's behavior.
"It is truly remarkable that someone of such status would patiently serve the common people."
Jiang's mother and Jiang Mi had the same idea, but Jiang's mother knew that Huo Ran's status was different, but she did not know that his status was so noble.
Jiang Mi didn't say anything, afraid of scaring the Jiang family, since the highest official the Jiang family had ever seen was a county magistrate.
"Honey, I think this Huo Ran is not bad. I didn't like him before because I felt that he was not from our place and I was afraid that you would become attached to him, and I was also afraid that he would let you down in the future. But now I see that he is quite persistent and has no airs at all. He has even saved your life several times. He is a trustworthy person. I don't object to him anymore."
