Chapter 371 Why did you start arresting women again?
"That's roughly the situation. However, I don't have any medicine here. How about this? I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some. You stay home and try to find a way to lower the patient's temperature and relieve her pain."
If she just wanted to get some medicine, Yun Fu wouldn't have to rush over.
But she also planned to enter the space once on the way to get some special medicine to treat pneumonia.
"Why are you helping us like this?" the little girl was puzzled.
Yun Fu was just thinking about what excuse to come up with when she saw the bracelet on her wrist, which was a birthday gift from Qi Hanzhou.
Isn't this the reason?
"Because I want to do good deeds and accumulate some merit for myself."
The little girl was young after all, so she believed what she said sincerely.
He immediately knelt down to Yun Fu, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at her.
Yun Fu raised her hand and pulled the man up. "The ground is dirty and cold. Stop kneeling. Get up. Go get a basin of warm water and use a wet towel to wipe the patient's forehead, palms, armpits, and neck to lower his body temperature."
Yun Fu simply taught the little girl how to cool down physically, and then set off with Qi Hanzhou to the pharmacy in the city.
By the way, I entered the space again.
I took out a special medicine for treating pneumonia from the space.
Then he hurried back to the small fishing village.
From a distance, I spotted a small figure holding a torch at the entrance of the village. "You're back! I was afraid it was too dark and the road would be difficult to walk on, so I came out to greet you."
The little girl was afraid that they had misunderstood her, so she hurried to explain.
Yun Fu said, "No need to explain. Even if you're waiting here because you're afraid we won't come back, that makes sense."
After all, we just met today, so how can there be so much trust between us?
With the medicine, the rest will be easy.
Yun Fu asked the little girl to boil the medicine she got from the pharmacy, while she opened the capsules she brought out from the space and mixed the powder into the cup of water.
Fed to the patient.
After the medicine took effect, the patient's condition was brought under control.
After two days, there was obvious improvement.
The grandparents and grandchildren expressed their gratitude to Yun Fu.
After establishing this trusting relationship.
Yun Fu also took the opportunity to chat with them.
They were both simple fishermen from the fishing village. It would be very easy for Yun Fu to get any information out of the old man and the young man.
The little girl's name was Xiaoyu. She was originally a family of four who lived in this small fishing village. They had been making a living by fishing for generations. Her father and brothers were all good at fishing at sea. So, although they were not a wealthy family, they lived a good life.
Unexpectedly, a group of soldiers and officers suddenly arrived at the Haicheng Port. They not only requisitioned all the large sea vessels at the port, but also captured all the men in the nearby fishing villages.
Xiaoyu's father and brother were among them.
With the labor force gone at home, the little girl could only use a small fishing boat to go fishing in the sea, struggling to support the lives of both her grandparents and her grandchildren.
Fortunately, because the house was close to the sea, the little girl had followed her father and brothers to sea since she was young and learned the skills of fishing, so she did not starve to death.
When talking about those officers and soldiers, the little girl's eyes were filled with hatred.
When he talked about his father and brother, his eyes reddened again, and he said worriedly, "The villagers said they went to the island to build a tower, but it wouldn't be completed in just one or two years! Once they go, they won't be able to come back!"
But she really missed her father and brother.
As the little girl spoke, she lay on her grandmother's knees and cried sadly.
Yun Fu didn't know how to comfort her because what the villagers said was indeed the truth.
It’s an 18-story tower, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to return for a year or two.
The conditions on the island should be very poor. I am afraid that by the end, when the tower is built, there will not be many people who can survive.
Since ancient times, every major project has buried thousands of corpses.
——
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
Yun Fu finally waited for the large ocean ship that was carrying the supplies.
But before she and Qi Hanzhou could figure out a way to get on board.
There was a small group of officers and soldiers on the ship, about seventeen or eighteen people, who came to the fishing village.
"Oh no! They must be here to capture people and take them to the island again! Two big brothers, hide quickly!" Xiaoyu reacted quickly and pushed the two men into the house.
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou looked at each other, both of them didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
If it were so easy to get to the island, they wouldn't have to find a way to sneak onto the large ship carrying supplies.
"Xiao Yu, don't worry. We are not from here, so they won't arrest us."
"But they are unreasonable! They are no different from pirates!" The little girl was almost crying.
While the two were talking.
Then I heard cries coming from the houses at the entrance of the village.
"No, don't arrest my mother!"
"Wuwuwu...Mother!"
Yunfu's ears twitched and her brows furrowed. What was going on?
Didn't they say they only wanted to capture men for forced labor? Why are they capturing women now?
Soon, the team of officers and soldiers arrived at the door of the small fisherman's house.
The leading team leader's eyes fell on the grandfather and grandson who were hugging each other in fear in the yard. Finally, he raised his hand and pointed at the younger one: "Take the younger one with you. The old one looks useless and it will be useless to take him back."
Xiaoyu didn't expect that these people were here to arrest her.
For a moment, I was terrified.
Seeing these officers and soldiers about to take her granddaughter away, the old lady rushed forward with unsteady steps to stop them: "Gentlemen, why are you arresting my granddaughter?"
The soldier pushed the man away impatiently: "The island is short of a few cooks."
"Cook! I can cook! My granddaughter is too young and can't do anything!" The old lady reacted quickly and spoke immediately.
"No, don't catch grandma, catch me! I can cook! I cook delicious food!" Xiaoyu also knew that grandma wanted to exchange herself for her.
But she didn't want to.
The old lady was not in good health to begin with and had not yet fully recovered from her illness. How could she go to the island and suffer?
The grandfather and grandson were reluctant to be separated and hugged each other and cried bitterly.
But those officers and soldiers don't have such empathy.
He was unhappy and drew the sword from his waist. Without saying a word, he slashed towards the grandfather and grandson.
Fortunately, Yun Fu had been watching the movements outside through the crack of the door. Noticing something was wrong, she immediately pushed the door open and walked out: "Wait, sir, arresting people is one thing, but if someone dies, that's not good!"
"Why are there still men in this village? Two at that?" The group of officers and soldiers were attracted by the two people coming out of the house.
Xiaoyu was afraid that her benefactor would be arrested. No matter how frightened she was, she overcame her fear and said, "They are not from the village, they are from outside. You, you, cannot arrest them."
