Chapter 89
"Dashan, fetch a bucket of water and come with me on a trip."
"Yes, young master."
Lin Zaozao quickly turned her head back, looking at Xiao Taohua and Ji Fantian wanting to follow along, and immediately reached out her hand to stop them.
"That's enough, you two don't follow me. Both of your bodies are not well, and you've been tired all day, so go back and rest after eating!"
After all, the system said she would lose her husband! She had to remember that!
After speaking, Lin Zaozao took Dashan and walked out the door.
Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua watched the backs of Lin Zaozao and Dashan, looked at each other, and tactfully did not follow.
Forget it, if Zaozao didn't want them to follow, they'd better not foolishly follow along.
Walking out past the fence, Lin Zaozao looked at the ragged, powerless person lying on the ground.
To tell the truth, she felt very sad in her heart. During the day, she had already seen these poor people. But for the greater good, she pretended to be a petty, greedy little person. To these poor people, she resolutely did nothing to help when they were dying.
If she had given the medicine to these ragged people during the day, would those poor people blocked outside Falling Water Village still have had a chance to enter under the control of those rich people?
"Dashan, is it safe around here?" Lin Zaozao asked in a low voice.
"Young master, very safe."
"Did you bring the things?"
"Brought them."
"Okay, release them now!"
As soon as Lin Zaozao's words fell, Dashan threw out a tube of anesthetic smoke from his sleeve. In just a moment, all those lying on the ground fell fast asleep.
"Come on, Dashan, let's cooperate and divide up the work. One person opens mouths, one person pours medicine."
"Yes, young master."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao and Dashan began their medicine pouring behavior. But when they had just finished pouring the medicine, the people who had just fallen into deep sleep all woke up.
When Lin Zaozao's gaze met theirs, she was stunned for a moment. When Lin Zaozao reacted, she secretly poked Dashan's arm and whispered.
"Dashan, is your anesthetic expired? How did they wake up after just a tiny moment?"
"No! This anesthetic is essential for robbery on the Jianghu, how could it be expired?"
Dashan looked at the awakened people, also confused for a moment.
"Lin the Immortal, did you come to save us?"
"Lin the Immortal, we don't have any gold!"
"Lin the Immortal, I..."
"..."
Hearing the gradually noisy voices, Lin Zaozao immediately put her finger to her lips, signaling them to be quiet.
"Shut up, quiet down a bit. Aren't you afraid your loud voices will attract ghosts!"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's voice, those lying on the ground instantly quieted down.
"Everyone, I want to ask, how did you get into Falling Water Village?"
"Lin the Immortal, the entrance to Falling Water Village is surrounded by rich people's hired thugs, ordinary commoners simply aren't allowed to get near. In order to live, we could only take the risk and climb over the back mountain!"
A man dressed in rags lying on the ground said tremblingly.
"You were able to climb over the mountain into Falling Water Village, so what about your family members? Where are they now? Also, is the plague outside Falling Water Village really so serious?"
"Yes, Lin the Immortal. This plague came too quickly, it didn't give us any time to react at all.
By the time we realized something was wrong, we had already all collapsed. Rich and noble families were fine, they have medicine to temporarily maintain the illness, but how could poor families like us get money to buy medicine!"
Hearing the man's complaint, Lin Zaozao asked the system in her mind.
【System, are there any aftereffects from getting this plague?】
【Host, there are minor aftereffects. But as long as it is properly treated with herbal medicine, it will be fine.】
【Okay! As long as it's fine.】
After speaking with the system, Lin Zaozao looked back at Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua standing at the door. She waved her hand signaling them to come over.
After Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua came over, Lin Zaozao pointed at one of the plagued men and asked.
"Fantian, later I'll give this man the antidote to drink. After he drinks the antidote, check his pulse and see where else needs replenishing?"
"Ok!"
Then Lin Zaozao and Dashan looked at each other, and continued distributing the antidote to the people lying on the ground.
Before long, the people who drank the antidote also gradually regained their spirits, and respectfully kneeled on the ground, speaking thanks softly to Lin Zaozao.
"Alright, alright, enough thanks, hurry and stand up."
After soothing the people kneeling on the ground, Lin Zaozao turned to look at Ji Fantian and said.
"Fantian, how is it? Can you examine them and see if there are any aftereffects after drinking the antidote?"
"Zaozao, the symptoms aren't obvious. The main thing is to drink some heat-clearing, detoxifying medicinal herbs for several meals, then it will be fine."
"Then that's good."
Lin Zaozao let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to set her mind at ease.
"But Zaozao, have you never considered, with the plague so serious outside right now, do you think these people can still buy medicinal ingredients?" Xiao Taohua asked.
Xiao Taohua's words made Lin Zaozao involuntarily take a deep breath. That's right! Now these poor people have trouble just running to Falling Water Village, let alone having them buy medicinal ingredients.
Most importantly, looking at their clothing and dress, already so poor, where would they get money to buy medicine!
Thinking of the huge amount of money she had issued today, she could use that money to buy some medicine!
After all, that was accidental money to begin with, giving some away, she could do so with a clear conscience. So Lin Zaozao turned to look at Xiao Taohua and said.
"How much gold did we earn today?"
"Close to 100,000 taels!"
Xiao Taohua's words made Lin Zaozao involuntarily gasp.
Wow! 100,000 taels of gold, such a huge sum could last her eighteen lifetimes.
But in such a remote place, where did so many rich people come from! After all, the last time she went into town, she saw mostly just poor people in town!
"Zaozao, those lavishly dressed people outside today didn't come running over from Lan City, they were wealthy merchants who came from Fengshuo Country. Otherwise, do you think ordinary families could take out 10 taels of gold."
Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Zaozao turned around to see Murong Hai and Ruo Qiu standing behind her.
Damn, these villainous husbands of hers!
She was worried they had caught the plague this morning, so sent them to the neighboring house, but now!
These dogs actually ran out from the neighboring yard. And were standing among so many plague patients.
Were they tired of living!
Murong Hai and Ye Yi looked at the anger in Lin Zaozao's eyes almost taking physical form, and somewhat guiltily looked aside, scratching their noses.
They really couldn't be blamed for this! They were all steadfast, larger than life men, not cowards afraid of death who let their wife work hard outside while they hid in the room, afraid to show their face.
"Zaozao..."
"Gushan, don't touch me!" Lin Zaozao looked at Gushan and said fiercely.
"Zaozao, are you angry with me?"
"Yes, I'm angry at you!"
Lin Zaozao strode in front of Gushan, grabbed his wheelchair, and fiercely said.
"Gushan, what did you promise me this morning? Didn't you tell me you would listen to me, and stay at home properly?
Now what! You actually ran out into the crowd of plague victims. Gushan, you, you broke your word."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's accusations, Gushan fell silent for a moment.
After all, this time he really did break his word.
Standing on the side, Ruo Qiu timely stood out to defend Gushan and said.
"Zaozao, Gushan cares about you. Suddenly so many lavishly dressed plague victims appeared at our door, we were afraid someone was secretly manipulating this to harm you.
So we could only temporarily agree to hide at home as you asked, then secretly investigate the origins of all this."
"So what were the results of your investigation?" Lin Zaozao asked with a stern face.
“Zaozao, I’m afraid you’ll run into some trouble tomorrow. But trust us, we’ll take care of it for you.”
Ruo Qiu held onto Lin Zaozao's hand, speaking ingratiatingly.
"I'm still angry now! Don't hold my hand."
Lin Zaozao shook off Ruo Qiu's hand and said angrily.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's angry look now, Ruo Qiu felt that if they didn't come up with something big now, it didn't seem they could smooth things over with this little fat ball Lin Zaozao.
He didn't know if it was his bad eyesight, but how did this little fat ball Lin Zaozao seem to have lost so much weight after not seeing him for just one day!
Ruo Qiu looked him over carefully, this little fatty must have lost at least a hundred pounds in just one day!
Thinking this to himself, Ruo Qiu reached out and squeezed Lin Zaozao's chubby belly. Hmm! His eyes were still fine, the little fatty's waist was much smaller now.
"Don't touch me, and don't squeeze my belly. Didn't I say I'm still angry?"
After saying this, Lin Zaozao slapped away Ruo Qiu's mischievous hand on his belly again, and turned his back on him angrily.
The system had said that during this plague, one of her husbands was in mortal danger. She didn't know specifically who, she could only have them all hide.
But now! They were standing in the center of the outbreak, even if they didn't catch the plague, the outcome wouldn't be much better.
Seeing he couldn't smooth things over with this little fat ball Lin Zaozao, Ruo Qiu could only turn around and signal Ye Yi with his eyes.
Receiving Ruo Qiu's distress signal, Ye Yi could only walk over to Lin Zaozao's side with a smile at the corner of his mouth, gesturing at her.
Lin Zaozao blankly watched Ye Yi's hand waving in front of her eyes, but didn't understand anything.
The only thing she could see clearly was that Ye Yi's hands looked so beautiful! Fair and delicate, slender fingers, they looked just like a scholar's hands.
Beautiful!
Thinking this, Lin Zaozao directly grabbed Ye Yi's hand and carefully compared her little chubby hand with his.
When she loses weight later, wouldn't her hands look as nice as Ye Yi's!
Just as Lin Zaozao was holding Ye Yi's hand, puckering her lips in a daze, Ye Yi patted her shoulder and pointed at Murong Hai.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Zaozao looked at Murong Hai in confusion and asked.
"Zaozao, Ye Yi is telling me to tell you that he's going to give you a big surprise tomorrow."
"Surprise?"
Lin Zaozao looked up at Ye Yi and asked doubtfully,
"What surprise?"
Ye Yi gently shook his head, and looked back at the translator Murong Hai.
"Ye Yi says, when tomorrow comes, you'll know. But little fatty, we have a surprise to give you now, do you want to see it now?"
"A surprise I can see now?"
"Yes, a surprise you can see now." Murong Hai said earnestly, a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, let's go see it now! To be honest, I've never gotten a surprise from you guys before!"
