Chapter 272 Refugees Attack (6)
Not much gossip, but when he had an idea, Shen Jun quickly took action, took the needed medicinal materials written by Qin Shuang, and immediately sent people to various drugstores and even some herbal pickers to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials, next to the There are a lot of medicinal materials growing on Fengtai Mountain in the county seat, so in addition to medicine shops, many herbal collectors in the city usually have a lot of medicinal materials in stock.

Previously, the yamen had bought a lot of medicines for wounded patients from pharmacies in the city, but because there were only a few doctors who could treat people, the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment was not good, and the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on wounded patients was also slow. Or the injury is too heavy, the result is often always very unsatisfactory, with little effect.

But most of the medicinal materials Qin Shuang asked Shen Jun to obtain did not conflict with the medicinal materials collected by the yamen, so it did not take much effort to find them.

At about the same time, Qin Tian finally arrived at the gate of Xile Building with a dozen horse-drawn carts and donkey carts carrying thousands of catties of grain and hundreds of bedding. At the same time, Shen Jun had also collected a batch of medicinal materials and grain that Qin Shuang requested. They also got some quilts, but not as many as Qin Shuang's.

Shen Jun also knew where Qin Shuang's food and quilts came from, and because he knew, he couldn't help but lament the coincidence of the matter!
Except for the corn that Qin Shuang bought from the people in Tongfu Village, the corn was quickly consumed for making pine nuts, and the rest of the grain had not been processed. The bedding in the village was originally only planned to be used as second-hand when they moved. I did not expect such a coincidence. These actually came in handy at this time!

The materials were almost collected, Shen Jun would let people continue to find ways to find insufficient medicinal materials, but in order not to waste more time, Qin Shuang directly asked the 30 people and materials that Shen Jun had found to follow him to the concentration of refugees in the slums.

"Look over there! A lot of carriages are coming with a lot of things!"

"Could it be that the disaster relief food from the government has been delivered!?"

"Hurry up, go and have a look! It must be the relief food! It's great, I don't have to worry about starving to death!"

"Is it true? It's really a food delivery? Do you have a padded jacket? My children are going to freeze to death. God damn it, what a crime!"

"What's going on? What's the fuss over there?" Several servants at the soup kitchen looked suspiciously at the commotion crowd not far away.

"It seems that there are a lot of carriages filled with unknown goods coming over there. Could it be that the disaster relief food from above is really delivered?"

A yamen servant shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that fast."

The person who was making porridge next to him sighed: "It would be great if the relief food was delivered." In this way, they don't have to do this and drink two or three bowls of rice soup that may not be enough to fill their stomachs. In fact, it is not too little, there are four to five thousand catties, but because he is not sure when the relief food from above will arrive and how long this situation will last, the county magistrate does not dare to use up all the food at once, otherwise It will be caught blind in the later stage.

If you are half full, you will never die of hunger. At most, some weak people will collapse first if they cannot hold on. If there is no food left, then everyone can only wait to die.But the most terrible thing is that they can persist for a long time even if they are half full and hungry, but for refugees who are more or less injured and their body immunity is much lower, they cannot maintain enough physical strength but it is fatal. Because of this, the number of refugees who died in the city has continued to increase in the past few days. In just three days, no less than a hundred people died.

The death toll of 200 people from Zhoushui County was only confirmed at the beginning, but in fact, I am afraid that the real number must be at least several times higher!
Just when the people on the yamen side booed and sighed, the person who caused the commotion had already arrived in the slum area, everyone looked curiously, hey! ?They actually knew one of the leaders!
