Chapter 49: I met the magistrate

He secretly took a look at the warehouse, and finally his eyes were fixed on the dried fish. The dried meat made from big fish became more and more fragrant the more you chewed it. You could never buy a piece of it for a penny.

He immediately found two paper bags, put two taels in each bag, and handed them to the guard.

"Thank you brother for your blessing. This is a homemade snack. Please accept it."

The guards thought it was dried wild fruit, so they accepted it. When the father and daughter entered the city, they discovered that it was dried fish.

The faces of the two guards showed great joy. They had not eaten meat during the New Year, but now they had meat to eat.

When Shui Ling and Shui Zheran entered the city, they found that all the shops on the street were closed. After all, it was only the first day of the new year.

But the father and daughter suddenly looked at each other. It's the first day of the new year. Is the county government office open?

Shui Zheran scratched his head, "Why don't you go find Wei Chenglin first?"

"Well, that's all we can do. Find a corner and get something out. The county magistrate has to give it to you, otherwise how can they be willing to do things?" Shui Ling also forgot about this.

In their previous life, they were all busy and there was no such thing as a New Year's holiday, so they forgot about it.

Shui Zheran took out the rabbits and put them in the basket. The parents and the rabbits let them go and let them continue to give birth.

The pheasants are prepared for the county magistrate, after all, they look good, and there are also frozen fish and dried fish.

Shui Ling said: "That's almost it. We are poor people. Taking too much will give people a feeling of richness."

"Well, let's go." Shui Zheran found the address according to Wei Chenglin's address and raised his hand to knock on the door.

After waiting for a long time, a woman with a sallow face and thin muscles came to open the door. Her lower abdomen was protruding, indicating that she was pregnant.

Shui Ling immediately smiled and asked, "Are you aunt? Uncle Wei said you are pregnant with a baby."

The woman was startled, and then her eyes lit up, "Are you Shuiling?" But the next second she started to chase people away again, "Don't come in, don't come in, I'm afraid I'll infect you with vomiting and diarrhea."

Shui Ling's heart tightened. Wei Chenglin's health was not bad. He was already infected. I'm afraid the disease had begun to spread.

"Auntie, my mother is a doctor. She has prepared some pills. Let us go in. They can cure Uncle Wei."

The woman opened the door with excitement, "Really? Please come quickly."

The woman hurriedly walked inside with broken steps. Shui Ling was afraid that she would fall and quickly stepped forward to help her.

There are three large tile-roofed houses here. Medicine is still boiling on the stove in the main room, and a bitter smell permeates the house.

Shui Ling sniffed and smelled the bezoar. Although this prescription could also cure the plague, the patient himself had diarrhea. If he drank this medicine, he would be empty of his body, or he would directly meet the King of Hell.

She covered her nose and said, "Oh, this tastes just like the Xiexin soup made by my mother. How can a patient with diarrhea drink this?"

The woman was startled and said with admiration: "Shui Ling is so powerful, you can smell it." At that moment, she became even more convinced that Shui Ling said he could cure her husband.

After passing through the main room and entering the master bedroom on the left, Wei Chenglin was lying on the bed. He was also sallow and thin, and his nose and eyes were almost covered by his big beard.

Shuiling took out the pills and handed them to the woman, "Auntie, dissolve them in water and feed them to uncle."

"Okay." The woman was at her wits' end, so she prepared medicine and gave it to Wei Chenglin.

After waiting for half an hour, Wei Chenglin breathed a long sigh of relief, "I'm hungry..."

The woman quickly looked at Shuiling, "Can I eat something? There is brown rice porridge at home."

Shuiling frowned, brown rice porridge was not good. The brown rice porridge in this era was not soft and would hurt the stomach.

"I have fried noodles here, is there boiling water?" Shuiling asked.

"Yes, the kettle is always burning on the stove." The woman took her out.

Shui Ling really didn't expect that Big Beard's family was not well-off and not much better than them. She took out the fried noodles bag and made a bowl of paste for her aunt to feed.

This is not ordinary fried noodles, it is nutritional powder from the dry ingredients room. Of course, 50% of it is fried noodles.

After drinking fried noodles, the bearded man finally had the strength to sit up. He saw Shui Zheran saying with tears of gratitude: "Brother, if you didn't come, I wouldn't be here."

Shui Zheran looked amused, patted him on the shoulder and said, "My eldest brother is blessed with great fortune. We are here to apply for household registration for our children. I thought I didn't know if the Yamen would be open, so I came to see you first."

"How did you get infected? Aren't you allowed to eat those livestock?"

The bearded man sighed, "I was unlucky to be bitten by a sick dog, but I discovered a characteristic. The sick ones are all male animals, and the infected ones are also men. Unless women are old, they will not be able to do it. Others

You won’t get sick.”

"Look at your sister-in-law, she is weak and still pregnant with a child. It's okay. Do you think it's strange?"

Shui Zheran frowned and asked: "Are there many people in neighboring countries who are good at using medicine? Could it be that they administered the poison? The purpose is to kill us men."

When the bearded man heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Help me up quickly. I want to see the master."

Shui Zheran was speechless, "Come on, I'll carry you."

Shui Ling looked around and asked, "Auntie, where is my little brother?"

"Ah, I sent him to my parents' house. I was afraid of infecting him." The woman smiled lovingly.

Shui Ling nodded, "I brought a gift for him. Auntie, help me keep it." She took out three snow-white rabbits.

"Oh, this is so valuable. Now a live rabbit can only be sold for the price of a pig. Take it back quickly." The woman said nothing.

Shui Zheran came out with Wei Chenglin on his back, and Wei Chenglin said: "Take it, that brat is lucky to have such a good girl." He wanted Shui Ling to be his daughter-in-law, and the two families were in-laws, so there was no need to be too divided.

.

"Okay." The woman finally nodded.

Shui Ling was carrying the remaining three rabbits and pheasants, which weighed about twenty kilograms. She didn't feel heavy at all, as if she had become stronger.

When they arrived at the Yamen, Wei Chenglin opened the door. They went straight to the back hall and finally saw the county master.

This county gentleman is fair and fat, with a mustache, and his eyes are not fierce, but he does not have any great ambition. He is a happy-go-lucky person.

When the county magistrate saw Wei Chenglin, he beamed with joy and said, "You are well. You don't even know how much my hair has turned gray due to worry."

Shui Zheran put Wei Chenglin on the chair, then saluted, "See you, sir."

"No need to be polite, I'm not even wearing official uniform, just sit down." This county gentleman didn't have any airs at all.

On the contrary, Shui Ling likes this kind of person. Although he has no ability and is a bit greedy, he is approachable.

When everyone was seated, the county master said, "Cheng Lin, what kind of medicine have you taken?"

Wei Chenglin looked at Shui Zheran, and Shui Zheran looked at Shui Ling.

Shui Ling was speechless, pointing at his eight-year-old child.

She could only take out pills and decoction and put them on the table, "This is what my mother prepared. For moderate symptoms, just take one pill. For severe dehydration... people with severe diarrhea and weight loss need to use this to make decoction."

Drink, boil three bowls of water into one bowl, three times a day, and a dose of medicine will be enough."

"Okay, okay, great, the people are saved." The county magistrate finally had a light in his eyes.
