Chapter 119: A Former Subordinate

After saying that, He Zhiran quickly fetched the herbs picked yesterday, and then made a fire to cook the medicine.

In less than half an hour, the herbs were ready.

The officials took the initiative to come over to get the medicine, but were stopped by He Zhiran.

"Peng Guanye said, let me pick some people who are pleasing to my eyes and treat them."

Zhou Laoba also heard the conversation between the two and knew that this was indeed what the boss meant.

"Okay, we'll help you carry it, and you can give it to whoever you ask."

He Zhiran walked in front and came to the Fang family's place first.

When Zhao saw her coming, it was like seeing a savior.

"Heshe, I want to thank you on behalf of the whole family."

He Zhiran just nodded towards her and immediately arranged for the officials to distribute the medicine.

Fang Chuanzhou was not spared this time, but his symptoms were not very serious, just a bit dizzy and nauseated.

He Zhiran asked the official to give him a bowl of medicine and whispered instructions.

"Uncle Fang, remember to come see my husband tonight."

Fang Chuanzhou held the medicine bowl: "Okay, I will definitely go."

He Zhiran asked the official to give medicine to several other heatstroke patients in the Fang family, and then walked in the direction of the Li family and the He family.

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 the symptoms of these people were not very serious, and some even deliberately lay there and groaned.

I guess it’s because I don’t want to continue on my way.

She did not expose it on the spot, but chose a few older people and young children to let the officials distribute the medicine.

As for the others, she simply chose to ignore them.

Just when she was about to leave with the remaining concoction, she heard Li Rouer yelling from behind.

"He Zhiran, you are so unconscionable that you don't save me. Mo Jiuye will be unlucky for eight lifetimes by marrying a wife like you."

Here in He Zhiran, there is no such thing as refusing to retaliate.

Just when she was about to curse back, she suddenly heard a crisp crack of a whip and Li Rouer's scream.

Zhang Qing is best at wielding a whip, and his attacks are fast and hard.

"Shut up, I. No wonder Heshi doesn't want to save you. If it were me, I wouldn't save you either."

This whip hit Li Rouer's right arm, and also brought it to the exposed neck.

Li Rouer covered her neck, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"My lord, this is unfair. He Zhiran refused to give us medicine. Instead of scolding her, you actually hit me for speaking out?"

Zhang Qingdu was amused by Li Rouer's words, and at the same time he whipped her hard.

"I just saw you unhappy and beat you to death."

Seeing that Li Rou'er had offended an official again, Mrs. Zhu quickly pulled her aside.

"My lord, my girl is ignorant, please spare her this time!"

While talking, Mrs. Zhu had already kowtowed to Zhang Qing several times.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing lost most of his anger.

"From now on, keep her open mouth in check. If I hear her talk nonsense again, it won't be as simple as giving her two canes."

Li Rouer was extremely angry just now, so she spoke indiscriminately in front of the official.

Now that her rationality returned, she was really scared.

However, her hatred for He Zhiran became even stronger.

She knelt down behind Mr. Zhu and sobbed softly. At the same time, she was thinking about how she could live a more comfortable life on the road to exile.

Li Liang felt a headache when he saw his daughter, who was usually the most sensible, turned into this.

Fortunately, Ms. Zhu was sensible and apologized in time.

Otherwise, with the temperament of these officials, there is no guarantee that the Li family will not be given small shoes to wear on the road.

Seeing the official and He Zhiran walking away, Li Liang glared at Li Rouer fiercely.

"Whenever there are outsiders in the future, you can be a mute for me."

"Dad..." Li Rouer looked at Li Liang aggrievedly and wanted to explain something, but was stopped by the latter.

"Shut up now."

Li Rouer suddenly lost her voice and lay in Zhu's arms and continued to wipe her tears.

He Zhiran looked at the remaining concoction in the iron pot and distributed it all to those in the Fang family who did not suffer from heatstroke, which would play a preventive role.

She wanted to show these people that there was no benefit in offending the Mo family.

I'd rather give the remaining medicine to those who don't have heat stroke than to enemies like you.

Back at the cart, He Zhiran told Peng Wang what he had observed while distributing the medicine.

"Master Peng, I just checked briefly and found that three people in the Fang family did suffer from heat stroke. However, it seems that there are not that many people in the He family and the Li family."

She said this, and I believe that with Peng Wang's experience, he can completely understand it.

Of course Peng Wang understood that it was just those people pretending to be sick when they were not sick.

In a fit of anger, he directly ordered him to go down and continue on his way, waiting for the whips who dared to fall behind.

Now, the people of the He family and the Li family no longer dared to pretend. Although they could not be said to be full of energy, except for a few people who suffered from heat stroke, there was no problem at all in traveling.

After continuing to march 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 survived last night while sleeping in the wilderness.

Not to mention it’s cold and humid, and you have to guard against mosquito bites from time to time.

When I woke up early, there were dewdrops on my face and clothes.

It was different today. There was an inn where they could stay and they could have a good night's rest.

Especially those family members who suffered from heat stroke, although they have greatly improved after taking the food given by He Zhiran, they are still a little weak.

If you can take a good rest, you will probably recover faster.

Zhou Laoba looked at everyone.

"Those who want to live in a ten-person Datongbu room will pay one tael of silver, and a two-person room will pay five taels of silver. Those who don't have any money can spend the night in a shed in the courtyard of the inn."

Hearing this, He Zhiran cursed in his heart. Such a price was obviously to steal their wool.

But thinking about it, she felt relieved. These officials were all hoping to make a fortune by harvesting wool. How could they let go of such an opportunity?

Several other families let out bursts of sighs.

"Master, we really have no money!"

"Yes, sir, please take pity on us and don't let us live outside."

"My lord, just do it, even if you let us live in a house of twenty people..."

Zhou Laoba waved his hand impatiently.

"Don't be nagging. Those who have money should pay it now. Those who don't have money can sleep in the hut outside."

The third sister-in-law quickly took out a few pieces of silver from her arms and came to Mrs. Mo and He Zhiran.

"Mom, nine brothers and sisters, there are twelve of us in total. I want a room for ten people and a room for two people. What do you think?"

Mrs. Mo is very satisfied with the arrangement of her third daughter-in-law.

"Well, that's good. Let Jiuye and Heshi go to the two-person room, and I, your sisters-in-law, and Hanyue will live in the ten-person room together."
