Chapter 1008: Old Man Zhou

"It looks like ...... How can you save it if it's not moving? ”

……

While people were talking, Xu Jiaojiao quickly looked at the old man's hands and feet, opened the old man's eyelids and looked at it, and then took out the needle bag.

Fortunately, she has maintained such a good habit, carrying a silver needle bag with her, and has saved people's lives several times, including herself.

After a person hangs himself, he will be deprived of oxygen, and the most common manifestations are bluish and purple skin, bulging eyes, swollen lungs, swelling around the mouth and nose, and so on.

Now the old man's symptoms are very shallow, and there is room for redemption. However, if it takes a little longer, it will lead to necrosis of brain cells due to the lack of oxygen in the brain for a long time, and the loss of part of the memory will be lost in the lightest, and the brain will be dead in the worst case.

Xu Jiaojiao asked Liao Qing to press the old man's chest while quickly applying the needle. Although Liao Qing doesn't understand medical skills, under the influence of Xu Jiaojiao, who has spent most of his time in medical research, he also understands some basic truths, and there is no problem with such an operation.

While pressing, dragging the needle and massage, the two of them did it together, and it didn't take much effort to hear Zhou Laohan's unconscious "ah" in his mouth, and his limbs began to move slightly.

Everyone in the audience was shocked.

"Hey, alive! Lived! ”

"It's alive! Are they all moving, they're really alive! ”

"Ouch, this is a strange thing to see, these two young people, it is not easy to look at......"

"There is no doubt that this should be a female doctor, it seems that the medical skills are quite clever, Zhou Laohan should not be killed!"

"yes, yes......"

However, Zhou Laohan's performance was different.

He saw Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing clearly, was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"What are you doing to save me, let my old man die quietly! I don't want to live anymore, and there's no point in my life......"

The voice is desolate, sad and pathetic.

It makes people smell tears and see sadness.

Xu Jiaojiao withdrew the needle and asked in a harmonious voice, "Old man, what the hell is going on?" What's not to think about? ”

Without waiting for Zhou Laohan to speak, some of the onlookers next to him said, "Look at how many of them are outsiders, right?" The matter of our cold city, alas, is hard to explain! ”

"Yes, we're the Foot Merchants who just came to Cold City." Xu Jiaojiao replied.

They are also dressed like ordinary businessmen, and they are not ostentatious.

At this time, Master Ji Fu also arrived, and said, "What's wrong with this old man?" Listening to everyone's discussions, could it be that there is something wrong with this cold city? ”

Facing the two life-saving benefactors, Zhou Laohan wiped his tears and made the truth of the matter clear.

"Hey, it's a long story, my surname is Zhou, everyone calls me Zhou Laohan, I am an old resident of this cold city, I lost my wife in my early years, and I grew up with my son Xiaochai. Xiao Chai has always been an honest child, but he didn't expect that some time ago, he was lured to gamble in the gambling house in the city, and lost the only few acres of land in our Zhou family! My Zhou family is an old resident of Hancheng, and they all live on a few acres of land inherited from their ancestors. I didn't want to hand over the field, so the people from the gambling house went to report to the official, and when the yamen came, they arrested Xiaochai and put him in a cell. Later, the master said that the county master of our Hancheng was dead, and the new county master had not yet taken office, so he could only act as the head of the matter, saying that the human and material evidence in the gambling house was complete, and since our Zhou family's land was lost by Zhou Xiaochai's gambling, then we should be willing to gamble and lose......"

Speaking of this, Old Man Zhou's voice trembled.

"Now that I think about it, at that time, we might as well forget it and hand over the field, the land is gone, at least there is still life! At least Chai is still alive......"

Xu Jiaojiao asked, "What happened later?" ”

Zhou Laohan said, "The master of the book said this, we don't want to, because this is obviously a ghost in the gambling house, our Xiaochai also said that they deliberately designed and pulled him in to gamble, and after he found out that something was wrong, he wanted to leave, it was those people who forced him to press his handprint, please make it clear to the master of the book...... Then, the master said, that's okay, just wait for the new county master to come, and then deal with Xiao Chai's case, and put Xiao Chai in the prison first. As a result, just a few days ago, the yamen informed that Xiao Chai had frozen to death in the prison...... Frozen to death......"

After saying that, I almost cried again.

Liao Qing asked in a deep voice, "Frozen to death??" ”

Old man Zhou burst into tears, "Yes, frozen to death, the master said, our cold city is poor, even the city walls are dilapidated, the county lord was sneaked in and taken away by the snow wolf in the middle of the night, where is there still silver to repair the prison!" A few nights ago, there was a cold wind, whirring, it was too cold in the cell, Xiao Chai was frozen to death is his life, he deserves it, it is providential...... My poor son!! ”

Xu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Unheard.

Is the cold city poor like this? Can't even repair the city wall, let the snow wolf come in and take the county lord away?

Also, people froze to death, and just said that people's lives are not good, and the responsibility is wiped out?

If it weren't for what they had heard, it would have been unbelievable.

Is it really because the emperor is far away?

That's why it's so unscrupulous, right?

The water in this cold city is deep!

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask again, "Yamen makes people freeze to death in prison like this, don't you give an explanation?" Is there any compensation? ”

Has the person involved been disposed of?

Zhou Laohan cried again, "What compensation? The old man has been to the yamen many times, and the officials have driven the old man out, saying that our cold city is a poor place, the emperor is far away, the emperor doesn't care about our cold city, and no one wants to come to our cold city to be the county lord! The previous county lord is a good and upright official, but unfortunately his life is too thin, and he was taken away by the snow wolf, so no one wants to come, the official said, this is fate, who let Xiaochai go to gamble and lose the field, who made him weak......"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at each other.

Is this human talk?

doesn't care about people's lives, it's strange that people are in poor health.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but say, "Is there any royal law here?" Now you don't have an official in charge of the cold city? ”

This time, not only Zhou Laohan replied, but the onlookers complained one after another.

"What royal law? Our Hancheng Tiangao Emperor is far away, isn't it all like this? Where is the royal law? ”

"Over the years, the county lord has changed one after another, either gone, or died, who wants to care about the life and death of the people of our cold city!"

"To be alive, to eat a full meal is Amitabha, like Zhou Laohan's example, I don't know how many happened, if it weren't for our generations of living here, we would have been too far away to survive elsewhere, we all wanted to move......"
