Inside the town hall, the atmosphere is low and depressing, and outside the town hall, it is overcrowded, crowded and noisy.

Wearing a mask, Liu Qingcao struggled to squeeze out from the crowd, feeling extremely depressed.

This person has already blocked the gate of the town yamen, if it is not suppressed, the virus will probably spread everywhere.

Yes, Liu Qingcao is now very sure that this is the influenza virus, the cold is not terrible, the terrible thing is that it will be contagious, and what is even more terrible is that there is no medicine available in the entire Qianfeng Town Medical Center.

If they are not healed by the medicine stone, these people will be tortured to death one by one.

They can't handle it!

Liu Qingcao's heart felt like a needle pricking her heart, and she felt pain in her heart. She didn't know why she was so emotional. She didn't have any contact with these people, but she could empathize.

She thinks that she is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so she won't feel sad when she sees it. Moreover, this is only when she has a way to solve it.

Liu Qingcao covered her heart, frowned uncomfortably and walked into the town hall.

In the town yamen, Xia Gengcai sighed and sat on the stool. The writing brush in his hand fell on the paper irritably.

"Master Xia."

Liu Qingcao entered the door, seeing Xia Geng was so overwhelmed that she didn't even pay attention when she came in, fearing that she would be too close to scare people, so she yelled aloud.

Xia Gengcai heard the sound, suddenly raised his head, seeing that it was Liu Qingcao, he was stunned and said in a low voice.

"Qingcao, why did you come to town?"

"Master Xia, I heard that many people in the town are sick, so I came to the town to have a look."

Liu Qingcao answered truthfully and did not intend to beat around the bush.

Xia Gengcai listened to Liu Qingcao's words, and looked at her strangely. She knew that there were many patients in the town, but she still leaned on this town. Could it be that she is not in a good mind?

Liu Qingcao saw his strange eyes, and made up a possible picture in her own brain, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching.

"Hey, Master Xia, I'm fine, it's okay."

Hearing Liu Qingcao's words, Xia Gengcai looked away in embarrassment, and hurriedly said seriously.

"Then you came here to buy land? The town has been in a lot of chaos these past two days. It's better to delay buying land."

Xia Gengcai is now preoccupied with how to solve this disease, not in the mood to make a deed for Liu Qingcao, so he turned a corner and politely refused.

"...Master Xia, I'm here to help you, not to buy land."

Liu Qingcao is sure that in Xia Gengcai's eyes, she is definitely included in the list of hoarders, otherwise she wouldn't be thinking about it too much.

Without waiting for Xia Geng to ask again, Liu Qingcao directly took out the rice in the basket, put it on the table, and spoke slowly.

"Master Xia, this is the rice I got by chance from a wealthy businessman in the county. I heard from him that this rice is soaked in water with high-quality medicinal materials and then poured into the rice fields to produce rice."

"Here, did you grow up drinking medicinal water?"

Xia Gengcai was dubious about Liu Qingcao's words, after all, no matter how rich a businessman is, he would not be able to do such a bold and inhumane thing.

If Liu Qingcao knew that he thought so, she would definitely give him a silent praise.

Indeed, whoever puts this matter on will not just believe it so easily.

"Master Xia, I also thought it was a lie at the time, but I thought that the rich businessman was dressed very well, and he also said that if he hadn't been robbed halfway and had no money for the toll, he wouldn't have cheapened the rice. Sell ​​it to me."

Now that Liu Qingcao is lying, she can do it with ease, and she has to believe it even if it is a little outrageous.

"Qingcao, I say you must be cheated."

Xia Gengcai sighed and shook his head, put the rice in his hand back into the basket, and said leisurely.

Liu Qingcao smiled, ignored his joke, and answered.

"Master Xia, after I bought this rice, I also regretted it for a long time, but one day, on a whim, I boiled this rice and gave it to the injured family member to eat, and his body healed almost immediately. That's why I believe that the rich businessman didn't lie to me."

"I thought about the serious injuries on his body, which can be cured. I should try it for fever or something. Master Xia, what do you think?"

Liu Qingcao's eyes were shining brightly, like stars in the summer night sky, making it hard to believe that what she said was false.

Xia Gengcai looked into Liu Qingcao's eyes, nodded in a strange way, and agreed to her proposal.

Liu Qingcao frowned, pushed the rice in the basket towards Xia Gengcai, and smiled slyly.

"Master Xia, I paid a lot of money to buy this. If it works, then I will be of great help to you. Tell me, should I exchange my rice for something?"

Xia Gengcai was taken aback, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he gave Liu Qingcao an angry look. He secretly thought she was doing something good, but he didn't expect this girl to be a ghost, waiting for him here.

However, if this grain can really suppress the disease, the town government should really compensate the girl.

only……

It's just that there is not much left in the town government's public bank, and it is too shabby to use it as compensation.

Forget it, it's still too early to say these things, let's wait until there are results.

"You spent money on this grain, so naturally we will try our best to subsidize it to you, but if it doesn't work, then you can only bear it yourself."

"Okay, it doesn't work, I admit it myself."

Liu Qingcao readily agreed, she didn't have to make up for herself, but just giving it away for nothing, it seemed that the rice was too cheap, and what she did today was nothing more than wanting a favor, a town It doesn't matter if it is paid or not for the favor of the yamen.

"By the way, you only have this small basket of rice?"

Xia Geng just wanted to say take it down and cook it for everyone to try, but in a blink of an eye, he found that there was only this basket of rice, so he changed the subject and asked.

Liu Qingcao shook her head, took Xia Gengcai and a few yamen servants out of the town yamen, and went to the place where the ox carts were kept at the town entrance.

On the wooden board of the bullock cart, there are two hundred catties of rice taken out from the space and placed on it before Liu Qingcao puts the bullock cart.

"Master Xia, this is the rice I bought, and it's all here."

Liu Qingcao lifted the burlap, revealing two round burlap pockets.

Xia Gengcai took a look at the two sacks, summoned four yamen servants, and asked them to carry them back to the town yamen and hand them over to the kitchen to make porridge.

"Qingcao, let's go, let's go back and watch."

Xia Gengcai looked at the number of patients who were still increasing at the entrance of the town, and hurriedly wanted to go back to see the results of the rice.

Knowing that he was impatient, Liu Qingcao didn't say much, and hurried towards Xia Gengcai.

The yamen servant moved the grain into the yamen, handed it to the cook, and gave some careful instructions before returning to look for Xia Gengcai.

"Master Xia, I've handed it over to the kitchen, what's next?" Wu Hu, the head of the yamen office, clasped his fists in reply.

Xia Gengcai looked at the crowd outside the yamen, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered a few words to him.

Wu Hu nodded, and walked quickly towards the Yamen with four servants.

After a while, Wu Hu turned around and came back, behind him was a yamen servant carrying a person on his back, there were men, women, old and young, the four of them had one thing in common, that is, they were all dying and couldn't hold on any longer.

"Master Xia, I have already made it clear to their family members that these four people are not very conscious now, and I don't know if they can persist until the porridge is cooked."

Wu Hu frowned, and couldn't bear to look at the few people lying on the back chairs.

Apart from these few people, there are many patients like them outside. As long as they don't get treatment today, they won't survive tomorrow.

That's horrible!
Wu Hu didn't dare to think, if the rice brought by Liu Qingcao didn't work, and the medicinal herbs from the county government couldn't be delivered in time, then what a miserable situation they would have in Qianfeng Town!
