"What do you want to do?" Liu Ling clearly sensed that something was wrong and protected the water bag.

"Why do you have enough water for the people of the City Lord's Mansion to drink?" Several boys approached Liu Ling, staring closely at Liu Ling's water bag, as if with the intention of snatching it.

"I said, our City Lord's Mansion doesn't have any extra water, only we are barely enough, and the rest has been distributed to you, what else do you want to do?" Liu Ling said.

In the city lord's mansion, there is indeed no enough water source. There is only three days' surplus of water left in the water tank at home. If it weren't for the completion of the Weishui River today, I'm afraid that there would not even be water to drink from the City Lord's Mansion in the near future.

"Whether what you say is true or not, give us the water in your hydration bag. A boy said.

"Why, this is my water!" Liu Ling protected his water bag.

"If you don't want to give it to us, then we'll grab it!"

With that, the boys rushed forward and frantically grabbed the water bag on Liu Ling's waist. Most of them have not had access to water for several days, and their mouths are dry. Seeing that there was water that could be directly obtained, it was natural that like a wild beast seeing its prey, a sudden greedy gaze shot out of its eyes.

"Get out of here!" Liu Ling kicked at the boy who rushed up first, knocking him down.

As one of the very few martial artists in Lancheng who practice martial arts, coupled with the teachings of his father Liu Xiao at home, Liu Ling's soul power is very unattainable. At this time, although he used physical skills to deal with it, his strength was a hundred times better than that of a man!

With three punches and two kicks, a group of children were beaten down by Liu Ling.

"Just your three-legged cat kung fu, and you still come to grab the water of the young master! It's really wishful thinking!" Liu Ling shook off a sentence and turned around to leave.

"Why, why should you powerful people have water that we can't get, why should we ?!!die of thirst because we can't drink water?"

A man lay on the ground and yelled loudly.

Liu Ling turned his head: "I said, the water in our City Lord's Mansion has already given you all the shares that can be given to you, and we are just barely enough to drink." Don't you be so unreasonable, can you?"

"You ......" The man who had just spoken was about to speak, when he suddenly fainted, foaming at the mouth.

Liu Ling was startled, and didn't think about why this person suddenly fainted?

Several other people surrounded him, and a few children also cried: "Wang Er, Wang Er, wake up!"

"He, what's wrong with him?" asked Liu Ling.

A boy turned his head, and there were already tears in his eyes: "Wang Erhe, he is dehydrated!"

"This ......," Liu Ling touched the water bag on his waist.

"Wang Er, he hasn't drunk water for three days! He is the most serious water shortage among us! His mother also gave Wang Er the last sip of water because she had no water to drink, and died of thirst!"

When the boy finished speaking, he burst into tears. The emotions affected several people around them, and the other boys also cried along with them.

"Hurry up, give him this water to drink, not too much at a time, a small amount many times!" Liu Ling took off the water bag and handed it to the boy next to him.

The boy took the water bag and was about to drop it into the mouth of the fainting child. Suddenly, his outstretched hand stopped, and almost in a moment, the boy stood up and sped away.

"Hey, stop!" everyone roared at the boy when they saw that he was about to occupy the water bag alone.

A group of people faded out of sight. Liu Ling stood there, looking at the poor boy in front of him who was foaming at the mouth, thought twice, picked him up, and decided to carry him back to the City Lord's Mansion.

On the beam not far away, a pair of malicious eyes witnessed the whole process. A sneer crossed the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth, and soon his figure flashed, chasing in the direction of the group of children.

In the castle lord's mansion.

"Dad!" Liu Ling returned to the City Lord's Mansion, put Wang Er on his back on the corridor, turned around and ran to find Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao responded to the call.

"Ling'er, what's the matter with me? Today, the elders in the palace are still discussing the process of transporting water to the Weishui River, and my father is too busy now. Liu Xiao was in a hurry, urged by his daughter, and his heart was even more anxious.

"Dad, look, this person has a fever, can you find a Lang Zhong to treat him?" Liu Ling said as he pointed to Wang Er, who was foaming at the mouth and dying.

"Who?" Liu Xiao looked at it, and there was a dirty boy lying on the corridor, who had fainted, and his face was extremely ugly.

"This is a wanderer I just saw outside the City Lord's Mansion, he has passed out of dehydration because he has not drunk water for too long. Liu Ling explained.

Liu Xiao stepped forward to check it himself, and immediately decided: "Not only is he dehydrated, but he also has a fever, he must be treated quickly, otherwise his life will be in danger!"

Soon, Lang Zhong hurried over with a medicine box, followed by Liu Xiao, who was more anxious than him.

"Doctor, take a look, what should this child do?" Liu Xiao hurriedly asked after seeing Lang Zhongtan Wang Er's condition.

"I haven't drunk water for a long time, and I have a fever, and the symptoms are obvious. I prescribe a prescription to use first, remember to replenish him regularly, but not too much each time, and gradually increase the amount each time. Lang Zhong instructed.

"Thank you Langzhong, is this kid's life in danger?" asked Liu Xiao.

"It's not life-threatening. Lang Zhong replied to Liu Xiao, "It's just that it's not just dehydrated, I'm afraid this kid hasn't eaten enough for a few days, and he's so hungry that his face is yellow and thin." You should give him some more porridge and rice, so as to make up for his weak constitution. ”

"Understood, thank you Langzhong. Liu Xiao thanked him.

"You're welcome. Healer's parents' hearts, this is what those of us who practice medicine should do. What's going on in the future, come back to me. Lang Zhong stroked his beard slightly, turned and walked slowly towards the door.

"Ling'er, send a doctor. Before Liu Xiao's words fell, Liu Ling had already sent Lang Zhong away.

"Have pity on the people of Lancheng!" Liu Xiao looked sad again.

Fortunately, there are also things that make him happy. The Weishui River was successfully completed, and Lancheng no longer had to worry about casualties caused by the drought. However, there is still a lot of work to be done, and the next few busy days will follow.

"You, who are you?" a weak voice came from behind Liu Xiao. He turned his head and saw that Wang Er's weak face was full of weakness and exhaustion.

"I'm Liu Xiao. Just now you fainted from dehydration. But don't worry, I found Lang Zhong to see it for you, and as long as you recuperate a little, you can be fine. ”

"This, where is this?" Wang Er looked around, and there were carved railings and paintings that he was not familiar with.

"City Lord's Mansion. A clear voice came, Liu Ling had already sent Lang Zhong out, and when she came back, she just saw Wang Er waking up and talking to his father.

"City Lord's Mansion, you are Liu Ling, you are ...... Liu Xiao City Lord?" Wang Er's eyes suddenly widened.

"How about it, do you want to thank me? At that time, I tried my best to carry you to the City Lord's Mansion to find Lang Zhong to treat you!" Liu Ling said.

"Thanks, thanks. Wang Er's eyes showed a look of gratitude.

Although he fell to the ground, his consciousness was not completely blurred. He knew what happened next. He was so grateful. If it weren't for Liu Ling's help, I'm afraid he would have lost his life a long time ago.

"What's the matter, do you want to speak ill of our City Lord's Mansion?" Liu Ling opened Shui Lingling's big eyes and glared at Wang Er.

"No, I don't dare. Before, I misunderstood Young Master Liu. Wang Er muttered.

"Okay, this young master is magnanimous, spare you once!" Liu Ling crossed his hands on his hips, full of spirit, "Okay, you talk less, recuperate more, and when you are ready, you will get out of the city lord's mansion far away." Ugly words ahead, our City Lord's Mansion is not just sheltering people, wait for you to leave as soon as you have the strength!"

"Ling'er, how can you talk to a patient like this!" Liu Xiao accused. Instead, he turned to Wang Er in a gentle tone, "Child, you have been living in the City Lord's Mansion for the past few days to recuperate. When you're well, we'll give you some pestering, and you can take care of your mom and dad when you get home. The Weishui River has been opened, and your family does not have to worry about running out of water to drink. ”

was comforted, but it made Wang Er's eyes a little more sad. All this can't be hidden from Liu Xiao's eyes.

"What's the matter, kid, did I say something wrong?" asked Liu Xiao.

"Me, I don't have a home anymore. My father and mother have died a long time ago, and I have no brothers and sisters, so I barely survive by grabbing food with wild dogs every day. As he spoke, his eyes were already shining, and he brushed his face away, as if avoiding Liu Xiao's gaze.

"Your father, did it happen a long time ago?" Liu Xiao still mentioned this sore spot.

"It didn't take long, it was last month. There was really nothing at home that could quench my thirst, so my father and mother gave me the last bit of rice porridge to drink, but they just boiled it and didn't get through it......"

This time, Wang Er couldn't hold back any longer, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Liu Xiao stroked Wang Er's head: "Sometimes, the pain that shouldn't be endured is better to cry." Don't hold it back. However, it is better to recover from the illness first. When you're well, we'll make plans. ”

Liu Ling looked at it, and unconsciously the corners of his eyes were a little moist. She turned and walked towards her room.

"The west room is still empty, Daddy, let him live there for the time being. ”

......

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a commotion. Many people gathered around and watched an old woman in a coarse cloth dress standing in front of the city lord's mansion, clamoring to enter.

The guards stopped the old woman. But no matter what, the old woman just rushed inside.

"If you mess around like this again, we're going to do it!" said one of the guards, reaching for the sword at his waist.

Such a woman is rare. It's just that now that the world is hot and cold, and because of the drought, it is reasonable that there will be some restless riots.

Since they were ordered to protect the City Lord's Mansion, they had to do their best to guard the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and they would not allow such a person to break into the palace for half a step.

"Look, everyone, sure enough, the City Lord's Mansion is a group of tiger wolves who don't care about our lives! They hid the water source privately, and they also poisoned my son to death! My children just had some quarrels with the young city lord Liu Ling, and they were going to hurt people's lives!"

"You are talking nonsense!" the guard scolded, "Our city lord loves the people like a son, and the city lord's daughter is also gentle and frugal. How can I hurt your child's life! If you do this again, you will talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you!"
