The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 194 Settlement
Some people's clothes were wet, there was a little blood on their bodies, and a few had a cut on their foreheads.

The old man grabbed an official and asked: "Brother official, these people are all injured and you haven't asked a doctor to come and take a look?"

The official who was held back turned around impatiently and saw that the old man was well-dressed and there was a carriage following behind him, so he calmed down the expression on his face and said: "Our Lord County Magistrate did invite a doctor, but these people Seeing a doctor together requires a lot of money, and we also need to arrange a place for them to live. We adults are honest officials and are reporting the matter to the superiors. At present, we can only pay for the doctor ourselves, but the doctor has not come yet!"

Qibao frowned, noon had already passed, how could the doctor in this town not come yet...

The old man asked: "It's been so long, why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

The official said: "Only Leshan Pharmacy sent a doctor over to take a look this morning. Others said there were too many patients in the store and they needed to be seen before they could come over."

At this time, a woman limped over, with streaks of black ash on her face. When she saw the old man, she said, "Are you from the Xu family? I saw the young lady next to you last time."

The woman pointed at the seven treasures.

The old man said: "My surname is Xu, and this is my granddaughter. I wonder how you are feeling? Are you injured?"

The woman said: "Thank you so much, my benefactor. Apart from spraining my ankle, nothing else happened to me. However, some of you were seriously injured. Now we have no place to stay." After that, started crying.

The old man comforted him: "Don't cry. As long as people are fine, there is hope."

The woman nodded.

The old man took Qibao on the carriage and went to Leshan Pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Hong saw the old man coming and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"

The old man said: "I heard that the house in the slum collapsed and many people were injured, so I came here to take a look. I heard that I arranged for a doctor to go and see them. I wonder how they are doing?"

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Most of the people are injured, and some have colds and need more medicine. The guys are brewing medicine in the backyard! They will send it over when it is ready."

The old man said: "Brother Hong, you can use whatever medicinal materials you need. I will pay for the medicine."

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Why don't I pay this money? Even if I don't have the money, I can't bear to see so many innocent poor people suffer."

The old man nodded and said, "My character is really impeccable."

Shopkeeper Hong waved his hand and said, "My master cannot bear to see the suffering of the people. He said that medicine shops and hospitals are meant to save lives and heal the wounded. Otherwise, if they are only for profit, there will be no meaning in their existence."

The old man said: "I didn't expect that this kid Jing Chen doesn't talk much. He turns out to be a cold-hearted person."

Shopkeeper Hong felt sour after hearing this. If the old man knew the identity of his master, he probably wouldn't be able to say "this kid".

At this time, the waiter in the backyard ran to the lobby and said: "Shopkeeper, the medicine is ready and there is a whole pot! How are we going to deliver it?"

"Get clean barrels, put them in them, send them over in a carriage, and give them a drink while they're still hot."

"Yes, I'm going to get the bucket right now."

After loading the buckets of boiled medicine into the carriage, the old man said: "I'm afraid there are not enough manpower, so I will go over and see if I can help."

"In that case, why don't we go there together!" Shopkeeper Hong said.

So several people went to the slums together.As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw the county magistrate here.

After saluting, Magistrate Wu said: "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Hong, for being able to come to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. You really live up to your reputation as a philanthropist."

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Magistrate Wu is serious. This is what a pharmacy should do. The medicine has been prepared. Let's drink it while it's hot. It can also warm your body."

Magistrate Wu called several government officials to give each person a bowl of medicine.

After everyone drank the medicine, those who could move bowed to the magistrate.

Magistrate Wu said: "Everyone thanked the wrong person. This medicine was sent by Shopkeeper Hong from Leshan Drug Store. They didn't confiscate a single copper."

When everyone heard this, they thanked and saluted Shopkeeper Hong again, with expressions of gratitude that were beyond words.

The next step is to start applying medicine and bandages to those who are injured.

Magistrate Wu said: "It is not an option to continue like this. Many people's clothes are wet, and they have no shelter or quilts at night. It is estimated that some people will get sick again tomorrow."

The old man said: "Wu County Magistrate, I have an idea. My family has a courtyard in the town and there are more rooms. It can barely accommodate a few people. The rest can be let to go to my barbecue restaurant to rest at night. This Don’t catch a cold again when the wind blows outside at night.”

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Even if I go to your barbecue restaurant, I won't be able to accommodate them. We do have room for them in the drug store. Otherwise, we can arrange for some people to stay in the drug store at night."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Wu immediately said: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper Hong and the old man. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of these people."

"Your Majesty, the county magistrate is serious. Since we have the ability to help, we will definitely help. Our Xu family has also experienced almost all the difficulties, so I can understand their feelings." The old man said.

Magistrate Wu nodded and said loudly to these people: "Don't worry, your injuries will be cured with the help of Leshan Pharmacy. The old man next to me said that he will provide everyone with a place to rest at night. , wait until everyone recovers from their injuries before making any plans."

Many people in the crowd knew Qibao and knew that they were from the Xu family, so they all said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Benefactor Xu. You have helped us twice. You are such a good person! We don't have to." It’s good to know how to repay.”

The old man said: "Everyone, taking good care of your health is the best reward. I will send someone to buy you some clean clothes. You can't wear these wet clothes anymore, and you can't make your illness worse!"

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!" Some people even knelt down to express their gratitude.

When a person is in trouble, if someone can lend a hand to help him, that would be such a happy thing.

Next, after County Magistrate Wu arranged for the government officials to send the refugees to places to settle down, the old man asked Kui Wu to go to a clothing store to buy a set of clothes for each of them. They didn't need to be too good, just enough to keep them warm.

There are not so many clothes shops in this store. I went to several and couldn't buy enough. Fortunately, some kind people in the town sent me a lot of clothes. Although they were not new, they were all clean.

These people had a place to settle down, and they were sincerely grateful to the Xu family for that time. They put on new clothes and covered themselves with warm quilts. They seemed to be alive again. It was the Xu family that gave them the courage to live. Color is also swept away.

The old man also bought a lot of food and let them cook it themselves, which would save trouble.

Magistrate Wu sighed and said: "At present, these refugees have settled down with the help of the old man, but this is not a long-term solution! Most of these people are women, children and the elderly, and they need to arrange a long-term residence as soon as possible. "

The old man said: "Then renovate the previous slum."

The county magistrate said: "This slum is actually owned by an owner. They are all very old houses. The owners also have new residences, so they rented this place to these refugees at a low price. Now that it has collapsed, they probably also I don’t care, it’s all abandoned anyway, but if you want to build a house, you have to buy the land from them, otherwise wouldn’t it be stupid to spend money to build a house on someone else’s site?”
