On the next day, the mayor of Lingxi Town personally led people to send a plaque to Song Xiuyan’s house with a gong and drums. The plaque was titled ” The Young Heroes .”

The villagers of the Song family village all came to watch. The mayor announced in public that Song’s brother helped General Long Zhanyuan who was the backbone of the country yesterday. He came from the capital to visit an old friend in Lingxi Town. The mayor did not say that they saved him, but they only helped. So even if it was publicized, it won’t affect General Long Zhanyuan’s reputation. Then, the Mayor gave Song Xiuyan a thick envelope that contained a stack of money. The money was estimated to be over ten thousand dollars.

The villagers stared at the envelopes with extreme envy in their hearts. After the mayor and the people left, the villagers discussed among themselves: “Don’t be jealous, they are risking their lives to save people. Song brothers use their lives to exchange the money.”

“Yes, those who are trying to attack General Long Zhanyuan must be extremely vicious people. Although the Song brothers have been paid for their help, those who have taken action against General Long may do it again to the Song family. We don’t know how it will be when those people take revenge on the brothers…”

The daughter-in-law of village head Wu Mei heard these words. She couldn’t help but scold them. ” Can you guys say something good? The Song family has just been better, now you’re expecting them to be unlucky again?” she said.

“What you are saying right now is that we are bad at cursing the Song family, instead we are just discussing it. As a woman, you don’t know the plot behind it. If you don’t believe it, go back and ask the village chief. Then you will know whether what we are talking about is true!” One of the men said.

Another man agreed. “That’s right. It’s good that the government doesn’t make it public. If not, the Song brothers become a target!” he said.

Wu Mei was worried too. “Stop worrying about it. The Song brothers are not easy to beat up. If they want revenge against them, they have to weigh themselves!” she said.

The villagers did not refute anymore because they felt that what Wu Mei said was true.

In the evening, Wu Mei and village chief, Lin Shenghai came to Song Xiuyan’s house. They told the Song brothers not to go out during this period. Also, they told them to lock the doors and windows at night. Lin Shenghai reminded Song Xiuyan alone, “I guess the government staff reward you guys with great provision. But in fact, it is because they want to lure the criminals out and catch them at once. All of you have to be extra cautious during this period. ”

Song Xiuyan nodded. ” Thank you for your reminder, Uncle Lin. I will take good care of my younger siblings,” he said. He knew that the government wanted to use this method to lure the gangsters out, but Song Xiuyan felt that the gangsters weren’t that stupid.

The Song family had a peaceful day for four to five days. After Song Yu and Song Xue were cured of roundworm disease, Ding Yao began to cook with spirit spring water. The white rice mixed with spirit spring water was extremely sweet. It helped to increase appetite and improve physical fitness. All of this would speed up recovery from the minor problems caused by malnutrition. Before this Song Yu and Song Xue were yellow and thin, but now they had become more healthy.

When the villagers saw the changes in Song Yu and Song Xue, they were surprised. Even if the Song family’s life was now better, the changes were too fast. The most amazing thing was Song Yi started having sensations on his injured leg after five to six days of treatment. Since the treatment was so effective, Song Yi’s smile had been hanging on his face for the whole day.

Song Yu had mastered the massage techniques of his brother, so Ding Yao didn’t need to do the massage. In addition, Song Yu also proposed to learn medicine with Ding Yao. He always watched at the side when Ding Yao was doing acupuncture. However, Ding Yao said that acupuncture was different from massage. He had to be familiar with the acupuncture points of the human body before practice.

During the day, Song Yang stayed at home to convalesce his injured arm and protect his siblings. Song Xiuyan, Song Yu, and Ding Yao went to the mountains and dug up herbs. The herb was not only for roundworms but also for other useful purposes. They made a special room as a pharmacy. Each kind of herb was labelled with its name, efficacy, and contraindications. This was to facilitate Song Yu to become familiar with the various herbs.

In the past few days, more children had come to get treatment for roundworm disease. There were also children from neighbouring villages. However, they stayed too far away. It was inconvenient for them because they had to come and return twice a day. After thinking about it, Ding Yao decided to tell the Song brothers about the sugar pill.
