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.

After eating a bowl of porridge at around nine o'clock, the village tenants immediately reported on Xiao Letian's movements to him. The furious Scholar Huang angrily smashed the porridge bowl as he rushed out with his servants.

"Stop, you are all crazy, you are all crazy, how can you let Xiao Letian enter the village? "He brought the plague, and he is the Bane …" Before the Elementary Scholar could finish his sentence, a large and hard snowball struck him in the face, followed by the screams of the children.

"Fight, fight, fight. This evil thing is burning our firewood. Right now, he doesn't want us to eat meat …" Hit Hit Hit Hit, we want to eat meat! " The group of children desperately smashed Scholar Huang with their snowballs, as if he was a vicious dog who stole meat to eat.

Huang Liu was completely stunned, he was wondering in his heart, what kind of mess was this, what was this? "Stop, you bunch of wild brats, if you dare make a move again, all of you will be captured and thrown back into the prison …"

"Aiyo, you've just become an Elementary Scholar and you're already so famous. What would happen if you became an official in the future?" Aren't you going to kill the people? " Who else could it be other than Xiao Letian?

Huang Liu was about to go crazy from anger, "Xiao Letian, don't even think about pretending to be a good person. The stack of firewood was burned by you, and the large animal in the village was killed by you. Even this plague was spread by you, look and see … Everyone look around him, where are the foreign devils! "

The foreign devil that Huang Liu was talking about was Doctor Ba Ke who had just rushed over from Ryukyu yesterday. This British doctor who had performed a successful blood exchange surgery, when he heard that there was a plague in the village and that Xiao Letian was going to bring people to help, Ba Ke, who was extremely excited, brought her medical case along and jumped onto the horse carriage.

The common folk of Little Wang Manor suffered greatly, the western medicine was good at saving and the traditional Chinese medicine was good at preventing. Those patients who had a high fever and refused to retreat finally found their savior when they met Ba Ke, they would burn their knives to lower their body's temperature and take the latest cold medicine in London. In the morning, more than ten patients with a high fever were rescued.

At first, the citizens were indeed a little against the foreigners. However, after hearing that this doctor had treated Xiao Letian before, and even knew how to change his blood circulation, he was Xi Yang's most famous genius doctor. The citizens did not dare to speak anymore, and the way they looked at Master Yang was much more fearful than before. But no matter what, everyone was convinced that Master Yang did not have enough medical skills.

Now that Huang Liu had actually scolded Xiao Letian along with the doctor, the villagers could no longer suppress their anger. A young lad rushed forward and said with a big mouth, "You're a mad dog, if I tell you to bite anyone again, I'll beat you to death …"

A few young men suddenly rushed out from the crowd. They surrounded Huang Liu and his subordinates and started to beat them up. "You're still cursing and threatening, I'm not afraid of you anymore …"

Huang Liu was completely struck dumb. He never would have thought that the people who had always been incomparably obedient to him would actually want to rebel today. What was going on?

"Are you going to rebel? "How dare you hit me …" Just as he was rolling on the ground, Xiao Letian suddenly realized that there was a group of black figures.

"Enough, stop fighting. There's nothing much to say about following a dog. Arson is already enough for him. He's already dispersed …" "You stinking brat, how could you still kick him? Go punish yourself for carrying the firewood. Didn't you see that the fire for the stew was getting smaller …"

Xiao Letian laughed and dispersed the villagers who were beating them up, then squatted in the snow and looked at Scholar Huang with his panda eyes and a big bag, "Oh oh, Master Elementary Scholar, you don't have a good relationship with other people, it's so pitiful that your folks don't even like you!"

"Xiao Letian, don't be arrogant, other people might not know about you, but you can't hide from us scholars, you are the lackey of the foreigners, aren't you the one that wants everyone in Great Qing Dynasty to believe that you are a western student? "Keep dreaming. Even if I die, I'll bite off a piece of your meat …"

Speaking till this point, Huang Liu was really like a mad dog that pounced at him, scaring Xiao Letian so much that he hurriedly retreated backwards.

"Aiyo, you're a dog, aren't you? "How can you bite … How dare you bite …" Just at this time, constable head Zhou Xing finally ran over. Xiao Letian was the benefactor who gave money to the big guy, how could he let the mad dog bite him?

"Insolent madman, you actually dared to bite someone and take him down …" A group of constables swarmed over and pressed Huang Liu down into the snow, as if pressing their bodies down hard enough to almost bend their waists.

Amidst the chaos, a cotton sedan chair hurried over, Tanggu was aware of Zhou Mingkui's arrival. Lord Zhou got down from the palanquin and pointed at Huang Liu's nose and scolded him.

"A gentle sweep of the floor, what a gentle sweep!" You are an Elementary Scholar, how dare you bite someone? You asked the steward to burn the life-saving firewood in someone else's manor last night. How vicious is your heart? "This is your housekeeper's confession. What else do you have to say …"

"You are a scholar, I cannot punish you before you achieve your rank as a revolutionary. I have already reported your actions to Tianjin, so you should wait for your death." But as the parent official of Tanggu, I cannot do anything but punish you … "

"Huang Liu, before the epidemic situation ends, I will punish you to be a volunteer in the Little Wang Manor, to atone for your sins that you have created …"

Scholar Huang was stunned, he sat down on the snow and wailed, "Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
