Chapter 502: Passing through the Poor Village

Fortunately, Shen Muyan also likes his grandfather very much, and after being carefully comforted by his grandfather and attracted by a bunch of strange things, Shen Muyan immediately got out of his sad mood and became happy to play with his grandfather.

Song Shuyan couldn't leave for too long, otherwise it would be easy for others to find out, so he had to hurry back the next day. Shen Muyan saw that Song Shuyan was going back and reluctantly hugged Song Shuyan, Song Shuyan patted his head and said, "Mu'er, don't worry, as long as your father catches the bad guy, your mother will definitely come back to pick you up as soon as possible." ”

Shen Muyan was not difficult at all, let go of Song Shuyan and said to her: "Well, you can also rest assured that Mu'er will obediently listen to her grandfather's words, and she will definitely not run around, and she will wait here for you to come back and take me back to the palace." ”

Song Shuyan nodded with satisfaction, only then did she see the valley lord coming to see her off, and Shen Muyan ran over and grabbed his hand when she saw her grandfather coming.

"Grandfather, I don't know where you ran this morning, and you won't come to see me off when I'm leaving. Song Shuyan muttered, and there was a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

When the valley lord saw her like this, he smiled and said, "Hahahaha, you." Haven't I come to see you off? I'm already a mother, why are you still like this? ”

Shen Muyan also grinned, and the valley lord pointed at him and said, "Look, even your son laughs at you!" and then laughed again.

"Grandfather!" Song Shuyan said pretending to be angry.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you, this is some new medicine I specially made for you to treat pain, and some medicine can cure all kinds of poisons, and some medicine can save your life at a critical moment, you must not lose it for me." The valley lord said.

"Is it really so magical? Can it cure all kinds of poisons?" Song Shuyan asked him suspiciously.

"Of course, no matter what poison you have, just take one of my pills for three hours and you'll be fine. ”

"No matter what kind of injury you have, as long as you take a medicine I gave you, even if there is only one breath left, your grandfather and I can pull you out of the ghost gate, I, the medicine king valley master, is not just shouting and listening. ”

Hearing him say this, Song Shuyan naturally believed it, after all, this Medicine King Valley Lord definitely didn't just shout and listen, and after carefully accepting it, he left and left.

The carriage had been walking for a while and had already left the Medicine King Valley, when it suddenly stopped.

Song Shuyan asked the horseman outside: "What happened, why don't you leave?"

"There are a few people lying in front of the village in front of us, and there is no way to go. ”

Song Shuyan instantly thought that it would be an injured hunter, and hurriedly went down to see what was going on. But when she saw these people, she quickly overturned her guess, this could not be Orion.

The people in between, skinny and yellow-faced, each lying here with a weak breath, some seemed to have a breath left, and some were as if they were dead, without any movement.

This looks like death of sickness or starvation, but the living person is lying on the dead, what is going on? Song Shuyan wanted to go up to inquire and check, but was stopped by Qingyi.

"Madam, I don't know if it's an epidemic, but it's better to be careful. Qingyi reminded Song Shuyan.

Song Shuyan also thought of this, so he stopped his hand and wanted to touch the hand of one of them, and asked out loud: "Who are you, why don't you go home and lie here?"

Almost no one looked at her, let alone answered her question, and after a long time, an old man said with difficulty: "We are all villagers in poor villages, this year's floods and crops are not good, the government still insists on collecting grain, and if they can't pay the food, they will turn over all our materials from the inside out, and burn them all over, and now the house can no longer open the pot, and the house can not be inhabited." ”

Song Shuyan didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the Great Li Dynasty now, and the ministers didn't tell him before, so he hurriedly asked: "Didn't the official uniform approve the disaster relief silver before?" Song Shuyan asked.

"How could those officials give us the silver? After the flood, not only were the houses gone, but most of the bankers were drowned, and the overall harvest was not good, but the group of officials who killed a thousand knives had to increase taxes. Another man said.

How could this be, it had already been solved last time, Song Shuyan thought to himself.

A woman's cry came from afar: "Woo woo woo ~ my son, you can't scare my mother like this, you can't just go like this, who can save my child." ”

The woman was crying heartbreakingly, but the people around her seemed to be used to seeing such scenes as if they were used to it, and no one came to help her, not even to comfort her.

Song Shuyan stepped forward and said to the woman, "Madam, I know a little about medicine, can you let me see your child?"

The woman looked at Song Shuyan, and Song Shuyan continued: "I also have a child who is about the same age as him, please believe me, let me help your child take a look." ”

The woman hurriedly knelt down as if she had grasped a life-saving straw and said to Song Shuyan, "Okay, good." I beg you to help me save my son, who has had a fever for three days. ”

Song Shuyan nodded and touched the child's forehead, it was indeed very hot, and then gave him a pulse, the boy's hand was so thin that only a layer of skin was left wrapped in bones, Song Shuyan picked up the arm and carefully checked the pulse, the veins were very weak. Song Shuyan opened his eyelids and looked at them, and his pupils were already dilated.

Song Shuyan immediately asked Qingyi to take out a needle bag and prick him with a few stitches, and after a while, the boy shouted in a daze: "Mother, mother, I'm so hungry." ”

Song Shuyan asked Qingyi to leave food and water for the woman, wanting her to feed the child a little. The woman thanked her very much, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

The one next to him said, "Why do you bother, there are hundreds of families in several villages on the way here, can you save one of them, and can you save so many people? Listen to my advice, hurry up, the people here are crazy with hunger, you are a woman, it will be very dangerous here." ”

Song Shuyan was shocked, it turned out that this was not only the case, but even several villages. Song Shuyan said to the woman: "Don't worry, as long as I meet it, I will definitely help you." ”

Then he went to visit several nearby villages, and sure enough, as the man expected, it seems that the silver for disaster relief has been privately swallowed by the government again, which is hateful!

Song Shuyan asked Qingyi to take all the silver on his body to the town to buy food, and then I distributed it to everyone, and then hurried back to the palace.
