The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 90 Distributing the Elixir
"Do you all know these people?" An officer and soldier raised his voice and asked, pulling the hair of one of the sick patients with his hands so that everyone could see the man's face clearly.

Everyone pointed and discussed:
"Isn't this the fifth son of the Li family? Why is he so sick?"

"Tsk tsk, what a crime..." Someone lamented.

As soon as an old woman saw Xiao Wuzi's face, she burst into tears: "My son who died of illness in the alley... was also the same age as Xiao Wuzi..."

"Next, this doctor Xin will give them some medicine." The officer and soldier let go of the fifth son, and wiped the dirty marks on the wall beside him, with a look of disgust on his face.

Meng Xiaosuo went forward, fed medicine to the three people one by one, and asked the servants in the mansion to fetch water for them to freshen up.Strange to say, after a few servants took face towels and wiped them for a while, they found that their complexions were unexpectedly rosy, not as sallow as before.

"Stand up and try walking a few steps." Meng Xiaocom pointed to Li Xiaowu.

Xiao Wuzi only felt a warm feeling rising from his stomach, and his whole body seemed to be a little light, and he was indescribably comfortable. He got up and took a few steps, but there seemed to be no serious problem except that his feet had no strength.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." He opened his mouth, his voice was very weak at first, and everyone could hardly hear what he said.As the number of repetitions increases, it becomes louder and louder, and in the end, it is not talking, but roaring.The face was so thin that there was not much flesh left, it was almost deformed, two strings of pea-sized teardrops rolled out of the sunken eye sockets, and flowed down the cheeks into the open mouth...

In the Alley of the Sick People, mourning was loud day and night, the patients died one by one, and no one dared to pick up the corpses.He was suffering from illness day after day, but he did not expect that one day, he escaped the fate of waiting for death!If you were in hell before, you must be in heaven now!No, it's even more incredible than the sky!
The onlookers were all stunned, no one thought that Meng Xiaoshu's elixir would have such an effect!

The remaining two people who took the medicine also got up from the ground one after another, pinched their arms, slapped themselves, as if they couldn't believe it was true.

"The merciful and compassionate Avalokitesvara, the female Bodhisattva who saves the suffering! I also have an 82-year-old mother who is dying, please save her..."

"My son is only seven years old, and he is about to die. Mistress, I will kowtow to you..."

The villagers fell to their knees in the blink of an eye, and none of them fell to their knees, except for the officers and soldiers, only those wealthy businessmen.But Meng Xiaocom's next words quickly turned their faces pale.

"There are only seven pills left. I will leave this place after they are sold out. If you want to buy one, hurry up." She said.

"What? Only seven? But there are fifteen of us!" A businessman showed dissatisfaction.

"I'll pay 110 taels of silver!" Someone shouted immediately.

"I give 120 taels!"

"I give 150 taels!"

"You... are you trying to make things difficult for me, don't you?"

"You're the one who can't get along with me..."

Meng Xiaoshu frowned, and stretched out his hand to stop: "Stop arguing, who of you is in the grain business?"

"Me." A person stood up.

"Would you like to exchange the grain you have for this elixir?" Meng Xiaosuo asked.

The man was obviously unwilling at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded.After all, if you lose your life, what's the use of keeping the food?Besides, after the imperial court heard about the outbreak of the epidemic here, they sealed off the commercial routes leading to the mainland, and they don't know when they will be reopened...

"The big house with green tiles in the south of the village is my home. If you bring the grain there, I'll give you the elixir." Meng Xiaosuo said.

The man nodded in agreement, turned and left.

Meng Xiaocoma turned to look at the rest of the people: "Let's line up, the first person in the line will pay 100 taels of silver, the second one will get 110 taels, the third one will pay 120 taels, and so on. By the way, I don't accept jewelry. Only cashier receipts are accepted, those who don’t have cashier receipts can leave now.”

All the merchants hurriedly lined up after hearing the words, and almost didn't raise their hands in order to fight for the first position.

A group of people looked at this situation, they were a little disheartened:

"This doctor girl is not as good as the young one before. She has such a dark heart. I think we must not have our share of this medicine!"

"Nonsense, isn't it? She said it all, 100 taels of silver!"

"Tsk tsk, 100 taels of silver! Save it for her to buy a coffin for herself!"

Meng Xiaosuo listened to these words quietly, her expression remained the same.In her heart, she already had a plan.

The food was in hand soon, and the banknotes made a lot of money. After handing over the agreed ten pills to Fang Zhifu, she returned to the mansion under the escort of officers and soldiers.

Along the way, she always felt a little uneasy. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after taking out the elixir, she never saw the shadow of Wu Miaoxin again.

Where will that person go?

After closing the door, Yun Feitian walked in with her: "What should I do next?"

"Let the magistrate's wishful thinking come to nothing." Meng Xiaocom raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him, "I still need your help in this matter."

Yun Feitian nodded: "Tell me."

Meng Xiaosuo leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

After night fell, the two put on night clothes, avoided the guards sent by Fang Zhifu at the door, and quietly climbed over the wall and left the house.The first thing I went to was the foul-smelling sick people's alley.

There were a lot of patients, more than Meng Xiaoshu expected, she suddenly hated herself, why didn't she get the news of the plague earlier, why did she spend half a day to bid farewell to Sister Zhang and the others instead of rushing to treat these patients...

Yun Feitian and her walked hurriedly, shuttled among the patients, and distributed a pill to everyone. When they encountered some patients who were so sick that they couldn't even open their eyes, they had no choice but to stuff the pill into their mouths.

The patients took the medicine dubiously, and they still didn't know who Meng Xiaoshu and Yun Feitian were.

There are six sick people's alleys, and it took a full midnight for the two to finish distributing them.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Meng Xiaocom took a little breath.Suddenly a hand reached out to her forehead, wiping away the sweat for her.

"What medicine did you take wrongly?" She tilted her head to avoid it, and gave Yun Feitian a white look.

"I'm in excellent health, I don't need to take medicine." Yun Feitian lowered his hand, his expression was still very indifferent, it seemed that someone else wiped Meng Xiaosuo's sweat just now.

Facial paralysis is facial paralysis.Meng Xiaocom pouted.

Touching the elixir in his bosom, there were about a hundred pills left.These sick people's alleys are full of patients who were abandoned by their families, and there are also many seriously ill patients who have not been thrown into this kind of place.This requires her to deliver it door to door.
