Chapter 49: Ask for help

Chapter 49 Asking for help

Gu Jinli took the medicinal herbs and counted them silently while looking through them: Scutellaria baicalensis, Kuidi Ding, Gallbladder, Corydalis... there were more than a dozen medicinal herbs in total, all of which they needed to use now.

"Xiaoyu, are these medicinal materials okay?" Qin Sanlang was watching from the side. He saw Gu Jinli looking through the medicinal materials, breaking off a small section from each bundle of medicinal materials, putting it in his mouth and chewing it a few times, for fear that they would buy it. These medicinal materials are not useful. After all, I bought it from a barefoot doctor in the countryside, so it's hard to say whether the medicinal materials are good or bad.

Gu Jinli looked up at him and said with a smile: "No problem, it can be used."

The cooking temperature is very poor, which affects the properties of the medicine a little, but it can be used. At this time, it is enough to have usable medicinal materials.

Gu Jinli took out a bundle of dry mugwort, lit it on fire, and used the mugwort to smoke the shed to kill bacteria and remove moisture.

He also took out some turmeric, chopped it into pieces with a dagger, added it to the pot, and boiled it with other herbs.

After the medicine was boiled, Gu Jinli called to everyone: "The medicine is ready, everyone come and drink half a bowl."

This pot of medicine is for people who are not sick to drink. It is mainly used to prevent wind and cold, so as to prevent the third mistress and Lao Yan from suffering another batch of illnesses before they get better.

Ms. Chen was the most active. When she heard this, she immediately rushed over and scooped the pot into the pot with the wooden bowl she had used to feed Wang Geer the medicine.

Gu Jinli had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately hit the back of Chen's hand with the handle of the dagger to stop her movement: "Auntie, this is the medicine bowl from which Brother Wang drank the medicine. Have you washed it? Use this medicine bowl to scoop the medicine directly. Do you want everyone to get cold?"

Ms. Chen's hand hurt. She wanted to say something to Gu Jinli, but she didn't dare to say anything after hearing this. She smiled and said, "Auntie, you are in a hurry."

Everyone knows that wind and cold are contagious, but in this day and age, a single wind and cold can kill someone if they are not careful.

Gu Jinli took a clean wooden bowl from the side and handed it to Luo Huiniang: "Huiniang, divide the medicine for everyone."

If the medicines were not separated, she could guarantee that with Chen's temperament, their family of four would drink two bowls each. There was not much medicine in the pot, and half a bowl would be enough for each of them.

Hey. Luo Huiniang responded, took the wooden bowl, and began to distribute the medicine to everyone.

When Mrs. Chen saw Luo Huiniang, she gave her half a bowl of medicine. She was very dissatisfied and said to Luo Huiniang: "Girl Hui, fill the bowl for my aunt. What can be cured with just this little medicine?"

Luo Huiniang said: "It's half a bowl per person. If Auntie wants to drink more, she has to buy water."

The river in Yuchang Mansion has stopped flowing, and only deep wells can still produce water. However, they are disaster victims from outside. If they want to drink water, they have to buy it with money.

Chen Shi searched, asking for money was almost as good as asking for her life. When she heard this, she saw Gu Dagui glaring at her again, and did not dare to pester her anymore. After drinking half a bowl of medicine, she took another half bowl of medicine and took it back to give it to her. Drink, brother.

Several other families also started queuing up to get medicine.

There was a lot of movement on their side, and the victims around them were all watching. Many wanted to come up and grab them, but they were also afraid of the knives in the hands of Qin Erlang, Qin Sanlang and Luo's father.

There are also those who play the bitterness card.

A couple holding a sick child came to the grass shed and knelt down to the third grandfather: "Old man, please give us some medicine, the child can't hold it any longer!"

The third grandpa took a look at the child in the couple's arms. The child's mouth was purple and his cheeks were red. He was obviously suffering from cold and had a fever. However, the child was not comatose and was still awake.

The third grandfather said: "There is a village nearby, and there is a barefoot doctor in the village. You can take your child to see a doctor." "Old man, the nearby villages will not let us enter the village. Besides, we have money there, so just do it. Save the child." The person who spoke was the child's mother, a thin woman with a disfigured face.

The third grandfather frowned and wanted to refuse, but the woman reacted quickly and kowtowed to the third grandfather. The third grandfather was frightened and stood up quickly and stepped aside, scolding her: "You woman, why are you making things difficult for us?" The medicine is also used to save lives. I dont have any extra for you. If you want medicine, go to the barefoot doctor to buy it with your own money.

The woman didn't care about this. She kowtowed to the third grandfather and cried loudly.

Her man did not stop her, but sat on the ground with the child in his arms, as if the third grandfather would not leave without taking medicine.

You, get up quickly! The third grandfather was very angry. This couple wanted to rely on them.

Along the way, he also saw many tricky victims, but he was in a very difficult situation at this time. It would have been fine if they were adults, but this couple came to ask for help with their children in their arms.

What Gu Jinli hates the most is people who use children to threaten others into submission. This kind of person is the most abhorrent.

When she saw that the couple refused to leave, she immediately got angry. She picked up a wooden stick and rushed over, hitting the crying woman with a few bangs until the woman stopped crying and jumped up. Pointing at Gu Jinli, he cursed: "Smelly girl, your conscience was eaten by a dog? If you don't give medicine to save people, why do you still beat them?"

Gu Jinli laughed angrily: "Our families pooled their money to buy these medicines. Why should I give them to you?"

The woman didn't listen at all and just cried to the victims around her: "Oh, everyone, come and take a look. The people in this shed have no conscience. Even if they don't save the children, they beat us severely. This is killing our family." Three lives."

From the moment the couple came to beg Third Grandpa with their children in their arms, the victims inside and outside the ruined temple kept a close eye on the thatched hut. They waited for Gu Jinli and the others to relent, and then they swarmed up and asked them for medicine.

Now seeing that Gu Jinli and the others refused to give the medicine, and hearing this woman's words, they all took a dozen steps closer to the hay shed and threatened Gu Jinli and the others with their actions.

After the victims surrounded their hut, a few arrogant people came out. The man leading them was a familiar face named Wu Da. He often ran around with a few brothers. Now he was walking in front, pointing. They said: "We are all victims of famine. We should help if we can. Not only do you not help, you also beat people. What's the point?"

Wu Da sneered and said to the victims: "Guys, tell me, do people like this kind of people who see their children dying of illness but refuse to save them deserve some punishment?!"

Several of his accomplices behind him immediately said: "For such a heartless person who won't even save a child, let alone punishment, beating to death is not an exaggeration."

The victims had long wanted to rob them. When they saw someone taking the lead, they immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, they only care about themselves and don't even save their children. They have lost their conscience. We must teach them a lesson and let them know how to behave." Have a conscience.

"Don't put it so nicely. To put it bluntly, you just want to find an excuse to rob us." Gu Jinli sneered, scanning the surrounding victims, and his eyes fell on the one named Wu Da: "Your name is Wu Da, this method is not the first Just use it once, do you think you can succeed this time?"

People like Wu Da are just gangsters. They were able to escape from the northwest to Yuchang Mansion by stealing and robbing here and there, plus this kind of deception.

Seeing that Gu Jinli had seen through their trick, Wu Da immediately incited the victims around him: "Don't talk nonsense to them, they are just a group of heartless villains. Let's go together, steal their medicine, and do justice to God."

For your mother!

Gu Jinli struck first, holding the wooden stick, rushed in front of Wu Da in a few strides, and hit him with a stick on the top of his head.

Bang!

Wu Da was beaten to the point where his head was bleeding. He was stunned for a while. After he came to his senses, he cursed: "You little bitch, you dare to beat you, Mr. Wu..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Sanlang kicked him to the ground, grabbed his straw-like hair, dragged him to the straw shed, and beat him hard in the face.
