Chapter 37 Entering Yunlai County
After saying that, He Zhiran quickly took out the herbs he had picked yesterday, and then made a fire to boil the medicine.
In less than half an hour, the herbs were cooked.
The officers came to get the medicine, but were stopped by He Zhiran.
"Master Peng told me to pick some people I like to treat."
Zhou Laoba also heard the conversation between the two and knew that this was indeed the boss's intention.
"Okay, we'll help you carry it. You can give it to whoever you want."
He Zhiran walked in front and arrived at the Fang family's location first.
When Zhao saw her coming, she felt like she had seen a savior.
"Ms. He, I thank you on behalf of my whole family."
He Zhiran just nodded at her and then arranged for the officials to distribute the medicine.
Fang Chuanzhuo was not spared this time, but the symptoms were not very serious, just a feeling of dizziness and nausea.
He Zhiran asked the officer to give him a bowl of medicine and whispered some instructions.
"Uncle Fang, remember to come see my husband tonight."
Fang Chuanzhou held the medicine bowl and said, "Okay, I'll definitely go."
He Zhiran asked the officials to give medicine to several other patients from the Fang family who had suffered from heatstroke before heading towards the Li and He families.
Even if the Li family and the He family were hostile to the Mo family, they did not dare to show it at this time.
They are still waiting for life-saving herbs.
He Zhiran looked around and found that these people's symptoms were not very serious. Some of them even lay there humming deliberately.
I guess it’s because he doesn’t want to continue on his journey.
She did not expose it on the spot, but selected a few elderly people and young children and asked the officials to distribute medicine to them.
As for the others, she simply chose to ignore them.
Just as she was about to leave with the remaining medicine, she heard Li Rouer cursing behind her.
"He Zhiran, you are so heartless that you didn't help someone in need. Mo Jiuye will be unlucky for the rest of his life if he marries a wife like you."
For He Zhiran, there is no such thing as not fighting back when being insulted.
Just as she was about to curse back, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of a whip and Li Rouer's screams.
Zhang Qing is best at wielding a whip, and his attacks are fast and fierce.
"Shut up, no wonder He's unwilling to treat you. If it were me, I wouldn't save you either."
The whip hit Li Rouer's right arm and the exposed neck.
Li Rouer covered her neck with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Sir, this is unfair. He Zhiran refused to give us medicine, and instead of scolding her, you actually hit me for speaking for justice?"
Zhang Qing was amused by Li Rouer's words, and at the same time he whipped her hard.
"I just don't like you, I'm going to beat you to death."
Seeing that Li Rouer had offended the officer again, Zhu quickly pulled her aside.
"Sir, my daughter is ignorant. Please forgive her this time!"
As she spoke, Zhu had already kowtowed to Zhang Qing several times.
Seeing this, Zhang Qing's anger subsided a lot.
"Keep that loose mouth of hers under control from now on. If I hear her talking nonsense again, it won't be as simple as a couple of lashes."
Li Rouer was extremely angry just now, which is why she spoke without thinking in front of the officer.
Now that she had regained her senses, she was really scared.
However, her hatred for He Zhiran also grew stronger.
She knelt behind Zhu and sobbed quietly, while thinking about how to make her life more comfortable in exile.
Li Liang felt a headache when he saw his usually sensible daughter become like this.
Fortunately, Zhu was sensible and apologized in time.
Otherwise, given the temperament of these officials, there is no guarantee that they will not make things difficult for the Li family on the way.
Seeing the officers and He Zhiran walking away, Li Liang glared at Li Rouer fiercely.
"From now on, when there are outsiders around, you must be mute."
"Dad..." Li Rouer looked at Li Liang aggrievedly and wanted to explain something, but was stopped by the latter.
"You shut up right now."
Li Rouer suddenly fell silent and lay in Zhu's arms, continuing to wipe her tears.
He Zhiran looked at the remaining medicinal juice in the iron pot and distributed it all to those people in the Fang family who did not suffer from heatstroke, as a preventive measure.
She wanted to let these people see that there was no benefit in offending the Mohist school.
I would rather give the remaining medicine to those who have not suffered from heatstroke than to you enemies.
Back at the cart, He Zhiran told Peng Wang what he observed while distributing the medicine.
"Master Peng, I just did a quick check. Three people from the Fang family did suffer from heatstroke, but it seems that not that many people from the He and Li families suffered from heatstroke."
That was all she had to say. I believe that with Peng Wang's experience, he could fully understand it.
Of course Peng Wang understood that those people were just pretending to be sick even though they were not.
In a fit of rage, he gave the order to continue on his journey, and anyone who dared to fall behind would be whipped.
Now, those people from the He and Li families no longer dared to pretend. Although they couldn't be said to be full of energy, except for a few people who suffered from heatstroke, they had no problem traveling.
After marching for more than two hours, the large army finally entered Yunlai County before dark.
The officials seemed to be very familiar with this place. After entering the city, they went straight to an inn in the west of the city.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the inn.
God knows how they managed to survive last night sleeping outdoors in the wilderness.
Not only is it cold and damp, but you also have to be on guard against mosquito bites from time to time.
When I woke up early, my face and clothes were covered with dew.
Today is different. There is an inn to stay in, so they can have a good night's rest.
Especially those family members who suffered from heatstroke, although they have improved a lot after taking the medicine given by He Zhiran, they are still a little weak.
If you can have a good rest, you will probably recover faster.
Zhou Laoba looked at everyone.
"If you want to stay in a large dormitory room for ten people, it's one tael of silver. If you want to stay in a double room for two people, it's five taels of silver. If you don't have money, you can stay in the shed in the courtyard of the inn for the night."
Hearing this, He Zhiran secretly complained in his heart. Such a price was obviously meant to fleece them.
But after thinking about it, she felt relieved. These officials were all hoping to get rich by taking advantage of the situation. How could they let go of such an opportunity?
The other families sighed.
"Sir, we really don't have any money!"
"Yes, sir, please have mercy on us and don't let us live outside."
"Sir, please be kind and let us stay in a room with twenty people..."
Zhou Laoba waved his hand impatiently.
"Stop talking nonsense. Those who have money can pay it now. Those who don't can sleep in the straw hut outside."
The third sister-in-law quickly took out some small change from her bosom and came close to Madam Mo and He Zhiran.
"Mom, Ninth Brother and Sister-in-law, there are twelve of us in total. I'm thinking of having a room for ten and a room for two. What do you think?"
Madam Mo was very satisfied with the arrangement for her third daughter-in-law.
"Well, that's great. Let Jiuye and Heshi go to the double room, and I, your sisters-in-law, and Hanyue will stay in the ten-person room."
