After Ming Lanruo entered the room upstairs, she saw the two children in the room soaking their burned arms in snow water.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Ning followed her instructions and did a good job.
But Xiao Wei, who had been quietly following her, suddenly pushed her away, rushed over, and grabbed the two children.
"What are you doing? Why are you abusing Ah Bao and Ah Yuan? How old are they! You are just as bad as those dog officials!"
He shouted angrily at Ming Lanruo, regretting extremely that he trusted Ming Lanruo!
Ming Lanruo was held up by Chen Ning and kept from falling.
She looked at the little leopard-like boy in front of her and explained patiently: "This is to treat their burns. The snow water needs to take away the temperature of the hot oil accumulated on their skin, so that their skin can be kept from blistering, ulceration, and suppuration as much as possible.
It can also relieve their burn pain!”
Xiao Wei glared at her angrily: "You are talking nonsense. My mother said you should use soy sauce and incense ash for burns. You are a liar!"
But A Yuan suddenly pulled down the corner of his clothes and said weakly: "Brother Xiaowei, A Yuan doesn't feel that much pain anymore."
Xiao Wei was stunned and looked down at Yuan.
Abao also said in a sweet voice that his little hands were redder than his but not blistered: "Much better than before."
Xiao Wei looked at them and stopped crying, and his arms didn't look blistered. He knew that there was an uncle next door who was burned by kerosene and died of pain.
He suddenly looked at Ming Lanruo with a bit of embarrassment, mumbling and not knowing what to say.
Ming Lanruo didn't blame him. She had a good impression of brave children.
She patted his shoulder lightly: "You are a good and alert boy, but I am a doctor, so just listen to me and let Madoka and Xiaowei soak in ice water again."
Xiaowei dared to admit it. He suddenly bowed to Ming Lanruo with his legs crossed and his fists folded, and said loudly: "I'm sorry!"
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, how could this kid Xiao Wei be doing... like a military salute?
Did anyone in his family join the army before? Or... Xiaowei is the orphan of the Red Blood Legion wandering in the northeastern border?!
Her starry eyes flashed with deep thought, but she knew not to ask too many questions to arouse the child's vigilance.
She reached out and touched his little head, and warned - "Remember, after getting burned, soak him in cold water or even ice water as soon as possible."
"But they will catch a cold!" Xiao Wei said hesitantly.
Ming Lanruo said gently: "So after soaking for a while, take out the burned area, and then continue soaking for at least two quarters of an hour."
Xiao Wei and Chen Ning both nodded thoughtfully.
Ming Lanruo sat down and opened her medicine box, and warned: "The most important thing is not to believe in folk remedies and apply things like incense ash, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. It will only aggravate the burn, and it is easy for the wound to fester, fester, and become infected."
Death without treatment!"
For the next time, Xiao Wei watched Ming Lanruo concentrate on administering acupuncture and medicine to A Yuan and A Bao, and also gave each of them extra cotton-padded clothes.
He hugged his share tightly, and finally couldn't help but murmur in reverence: "Little madam, you...are really a fairy who saves people in need!"
When they are sick, they have no money to see a doctor, and no doctor is willing to treat them for free.
Ming Lanruo asked calmly: "Then are you willing to tell me, this fairy, why you dare not come to get clothes and food?"
From handing out meatballs to rescuing children yesterday, it was both her conscience and her plan. Now it was time to close the net.
Rather than prying open the mouths of adults, it is better to start directly with children, which can also reduce the vigilance of those who monitor them.
Xiaowei's words suggest that he studied in a private school.
This child is already ten years old. He is smart and righteous, and he definitely knows more about the situation in Heilia City than the younger children, but he is also very wary.
She needs to be patient and let him open her heart.
Xiaowei hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "Because... the prefect said that the food and grass supported by the court and other places are limited. Every time disaster relief is distributed, each household can receive one day's rations in seven days, and one month."
Anyone who dares to receive more than one piece of clothing will be beheaded."
Ming Lanruo and Chen Ning looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.
Each family can only receive one day of food rations in seven days, and only one piece of clothing. How can they survive in such hungry and cold weather?
No wonder there is the cruel phenomenon of exchanging children for food.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked again: "Does the imperial envoy of the imperial court know about the actions of the prefect? Could it be that he would agree with the actions of the prefect?"
My father is an honest man and will never allow this kind of thing to happen!
Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment: "I haven't seen any imperial envoys in the place where the imperial court distributes grain."
Ming Lanruo then remembered that Xiao Wei was only a child of about ten years old after all, how could he understand this.
She took a deep breath and asked in a different way: "Then can you all tolerate it? The prefect is so cruel, doesn't anyone want to be a bandit and rob the grain depot?"
In years of great disaster, it is common for people to turn into bandits, rob government rations and plunder grain depots.
Xiaowei's face turned pale, showing a look of fear and panic: "But... those uncles who wanted to steal official food were killed by the bandits, and their heads were hung in the woods and at the city gate..."
Ming Lanruo was stunned and looked at Chen Ning in disbelief. She also saw shock in the other person's eyes.
What kind of absurd and weird place is Heilia City? The government officials she encountered behaved the same as bandits, but the bandits actually did the work of officers and soldiers and maintained the order of the entire Heilia City?!
Before she could ask more questions, she suddenly heard a noise coming from downstairs——
"How dare you hurt our young master sixteen and tell that bitch to get out and die!"
The arrogant scolding and smashing sound sounded very scary.
Xiao Wei's face turned pale. No matter how bold he was, he was still a child. He almost cried out of fear: "...It's...he's from the prefect!"
Those people would come looking for trouble and seek revenge, but Ming Lanruo didn't expect that they would be so unscrupulous and come so quickly.
She glanced at Chen Ning and winked at him, and Chen Ning immediately led him downstairs.
Ming Lanruo looked at Xiao Wei and said calmly: "You can watch Ah Yuan and Ah Bao carefully here, don't go down, and don't open the door for anyone before I come. Can you do that?"
Xiaowei held A Yuan and A Bao behind who were trembling and crying with fear, gritted his teeth and nodded: "You... must be careful, they kill people on the street without blinking an eye!"
Ming Lanruo nodded, took something from the medicine box, turned around and took Chen Ning downstairs.
Chen Ning held the sword in his hand in advance.
A large number of guards surrounded the inn.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the door. The nanny of the little fat man just now covered her sprained waist and walked down accompanied by a woman wearing a veil and wearing a smart outfit.
The woman said coldly: "Is it the merchant girl here who hurt Xiao Liu?"
"Yes, Miss Second!" the wet nurse said angrily.
The woman said coldly: "Find out where that merchant girl is!"
A group of guards immediately rushed in and started smashing it!
"Is this Miss Tang, too? She has brought people to seek revenge for your little brother. It seems that you are really siblings, with the same virtue." A faint female voice suddenly sounded on the stairs.
The wet nurse immediately screamed and pointed out: "It's her, the merchant girl who hurt Master Sixteen."
The woman's eyes were cold, and she looked at Ming Lanruo who was coming down the stairs. Her eyes stayed on Ming Lanruo's beautiful face, and she suddenly said——
"Someone, scratch this bitch's face, drag her out of the street, take off her clothes, and beat her to death on the spot!"
A group of guards immediately rushed toward Ming Lanruo with swords in their hands.
Ming Lanruo, however, stood calmly with her hands behind her hands, looking at the guards with a mysterious sneer.
…
In the teahouse not far away, Xiao Qizi couldn't help but spit on the ground: "Bah, there are vicious things in the Tang Zhifu family, that stinky woman dares to shame my sister-in-law, my godfather, let our family take people to pluck all her vagina."
hair……"
Cang Qiao's phoenix eyes were slightly curved, and he suddenly took out a gorgeous gemstone mirror and looked at himself: "The little female cat I raise is really becoming more and more like me. Look at her demeanor. It turns out that cats cannot be kept free.
If you pet her often, she will become more like your master."
Xiao Qizi's lips twitched: "Master... now is not the time to boast, right? Can you bear this tone? Don't you send someone to help?"
He often felt ashamed that he couldn't keep up with Chitose's weird brain circuitry.
Moreover, with how clingy my sister-in-law is, how can I have the nerve to call myself my sister-in-law’s master?!
If my sister-in-law is really a cat, I am obviously a shit shovel...
