Chapter 167 - Healing the sick and saving the sick
Xiao Letian strongly believed that there was no one in this world who could not be moved. The people of China, especially the people of the lower classes, were unparalleled in kindness. As long as you could move them, they would repay you with their greatest kindness.
For example, today, when the medical team that Xiao Letian had formed officially entered the three villages that had been affected by the storm, the helpless citizens immediately boiled over.
Tall and big, the horses trampled on the snow as they made their way forward. The stunned iron wheels smashed a white road made of snow and ice on the countryside road. There were all sorts of medicine and food on the train, and even a blond foreigner on the front of the train.
”Fellow villagers of the Little Wang Manor, I, Xiao Letian, am back. This time, I am not asking for firewood, but medicine, food and even doctors. Do you still want me to enter the village? ”
Xiao Letian was still holding onto his iron horn as he stood on top of the carriage and shouted towards the surrounding villagers. This brat was really bad, to think that he was still thinking about taking revenge.
The commoners could not understand what the Industrial Zones was trying to do, and whether Xiao Letian, who had studied in the west, was a demon or not. In any case, all the Elementary Scholars had said that it was so, and that it was so. The commoners had listened to the words of the scholars for thousands of years and had gotten used to it.
However, what had happened in the last two days had made the villagers feel extremely disheartened. The scholars only knew to shout 'starving to death is a small matter', but who would be willing to starve to death?
No matter how bad Xiao Letian's situation was, the person who sent the firewood for rescue was someone else. In the middle of the night, the person who was ambushing and protecting the villagers was someone else, and even the village had a plague. The person who sent the medicine was Xiao Letian.
What moved the citizens even more was that Xiao Letian did not despise everyone. This was something that everyone could feel. If personally unloading the carts was an act, then risking the danger of being infected to enter the epidemic area to save his fellow villagers was true righteousness.
”Mr. Xiao, this old one is ashamed. I was so disrespectful to you before, I kowtowed to you here …” The village chief led a group of people to kneel in the snow, their foreheads buried deep within the snow.
When Xiao Letian saw that the joke had gone overboard, he hurriedly jumped down the carriage to help the old man up. ”Old man, you really killed me, you really killed me … Everyone get up. I, Xiao Letian, know what scruples you guys have. Isn't it because I'm afraid of forcibly buying your land? ”Don't worry, I, Xiao Letian, swear that I will never force anyone to buy it. I will definitely negotiate with this big guy peacefully and with the plague not retreating, I will never discuss this matter ever again …”
”Good man, you are truly a good man …” This time, all of the commoners were convinced and they began to cry.
The villagers dispelled their misgivings and started to unload the carriage. Once the goods were in the carriage, the villagers realized that Xiao Letian had sincerely come to help them.
There were also the scattered flowers and indigowoad root. This was the gold formula that Xiao Letian learned from the future generations, it could cure all illnesses without any problems.
In this era, the citizens were more or less malnourished. A full meal was very important, Xiao Letian thought it through very carefully.
”Fellow villagers, didn't you guys have large animal s that were killed by the thugs? ”Send it to me. I'll use the normal price of a good animal to buy it. I definitely won't let you guys suffer a loss …”
When the extremely cold cattle and horses were delivered, the villagers holding their white eagles could not believe their eyes. Xiao Letian had actually bought the beast at the price of a live beast in its prime, with this foreign money, everyone could buy ready-made large animal at the Spring Market.
What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Letian actually started the cooking from where he was, inviting the Coastal building's meat chef to cook it for everyone. Large chunks of beef, horse meat, and donkey meat were thrown into the boiling water, and spices that had never been seen before were thrown into the water. Soon, the entire village was filled with the fragrance of meat.
”All of you work hard. Today, I, Xiao Letian, will treat you all to a meal, a large bowl of wine, large pieces of meat, and a rich broth. Today, we will celebrate the new year early … ”Come, come, come. Put on your mask first. You brat, you dare to not bring a mask. I won't have your meat to eat in the afternoon …”
However, no one dared to take them off as they looked at the snow-white gauze masks they wore, jeering at each other. This was because Xiao Letian had already said that as long as one carried this kind of mask into the human body, the typhoid fever would not spread any further.
”Mister, you can say whatever you want! Mr. Xiao is a big shot who can write books, so he should be more reliable than those little Elementary Scholars. Furthermore, who would listen to his orders? ”
The Little Wang Manor and the two surrounding villages were instantly overrun by Xiao Letian's gentle attacks.
Huang Liu had only come out of his house at around 9 in the morning. As a person who had slept so lazily, he did not know that his butler had been caught, even if he wanted to live, he did not expect that there would be a soldier that could hide in the snow for half the night. Even if there were these elite soldiers, it was impossible for them to protect this small, crappy village.
Thus, he didn't really care about the steward's disappearance. In his heart, he didn't know where the steward was sleeping and sleeping after drinking too much.
