Chapter 54: Scurvy

After Wu Jiuhua and the six of them came to Luoyue Town, they found that there was also their wanted notice here, so in a hurry, they ran into Luoxia Mountain and met Mu Ling, which happened later.

At that time, Mu Ling was very sympathetic to their plight, took them out of the mountain, gave them a little money and let them go, but he didn't expect to meet them here again.

It's just that Mu Ling's appearance has changed too much, and they didn't recognize it for a while.

"What do you want so much money for?" Mu Ling was a little curious when he heard that they needed 10,000 gold coins.

Wu Jiuhua looked at Feng Xu and saw that he had no objection, so he told Mu Ling, "A few people who escaped with us are sick, very serious, the doctor also saw it, and the medicine was also eaten, but it didn't work, but it became more and more serious, all our savings were spent, it was not enough to work as coolies and carry sacks to earn money to eat, and we had to hide in Tibet, we ......"

Wu Jiuhua began to choke up as she spoke, "We didn't do anything wrong, why did they force us into such a situation?" We just want to have a place to live and get through the ordinary days......"

Wu Jiuhua covered her face, tears kept flowing from her fingertips, "A month ago, Tong Hui Tong Bo and two people were seriously injured in the casino in order to make money, the casino not only did not give money, but also asked us to bear the loss of the casino, they detained Tong Hui Tong Bo, and said that we wanted to pay ten gold coins, we finally got it together a few days ago, but they said that the profit has become 10,000 gold coins......"

They are now in a dilemma, they can report to the official, but when the time comes, if no one can be rescued, let alone say, even a few of them will be arrested.

"Can you take me to see them?" Mu Ling asked.

Looking at the hesitant expressions of the two, she said again, "Don't worry, I just want to go and see, if I want to arrest you, I still have to wait for now?" ”

Wu Jiuhua and Feng Xu nodded.

"Then I'll go up and call someone again, she knows some medical skills, and she can help them see." Mu Ling saw that the two of them looked embarrassed, "In this way, you blindfold us when you go, so you don't have to be afraid that we know where you live." ”

Hearing Mu Ling say this, the two exhaled lightly, not that they didn't believe in others, but that they didn't dare to believe in people.

The two of them waited downstairs for a while, and Mu Ling and Mu Si came down.

When the four of them left the city, Mu Ling and Mu Si's eyes were blindfolded, and the four of them turned around to the end of a village.

Taking off the blindfold, Mu Ling was a little surprised, can this house be inhabited?

The thatched house in front of them was crumbling, and it felt like it would be blown away if the wind was stronger, and it was estimated that it couldn't block the rain, how did they get here?

When Wu Shan saw two strangers coming, his face changed, and he said vigilantly: "Jiuhua, who are these two?" ”

"Grandpa, don't be afraid, they're here to help us" Wu Jiuhua motioned for Wu Shan to relax and asked him not to act rashly first.

"Let's take a look at the patient first!" Mu Ling nodded politely at Wu Shan.

Wu Shan looked at Mu Ling and the two coldly, Wu Jiuhua smiled embarrassedly, and Feng Xu took Wu Shan to the other side.

"Miss Mu, please come with me." Wu Jiuhua took Mu Ling and the others into the thatched house.

Pushing open the door, a foul smell came to my nose, and there were a dozen or so unadult-looking people lying on the floor of the room.

Mu Ling nodded at Mu Si, and Mu Si squatted down to check their conditions one by one.

Mu Ling opened the doors and windows in the house, and the air convection diluted the smell of the room, and the light became brighter.

"This situation needs to be ventilated more every day, otherwise it will cause their condition to be more serious," Mu Ling looked at the people on the ground and said to Wu Jiuhua beside him.

"Yes, we asked the doctor that before, and the man told us we couldn't ventilate." Hearing Mu Ling say this, Wu Jiuhua chuckled in her heart.

Mu Ling shook his head, "Some diseases really can't see the wind, but they are different, if you can't keep the air in the house smooth, it will be harmful to them!" ”

"Miss, the inspection is finished." Mu Si wrote down all their illnesses.

malaise, anorexia, swollen and bleeding gums, petechiae...... Isn't this a symptom of scurvy? The more Mu Ling looked at it, the more puzzled he became, how could they get scurvy? It shouldn't be...... Why didn't they get it?

"How long has it been since you had eaten fresh vegetables?" Mu Ling raised his head and asked Wu Jiuhua.

"Good...... It's been a few months......" Wu Jiuhua was a little embarrassed.

"And what do you all eat?" Mu Si was puzzled.

"Potatoes and wowotou, we don't have extra money to buy vegetables and meat, so we can only eat these ......" Wu Jiuhua's voice became quieter and quieter.

No wonder, Mu Ling was a little sad when she heard her words, looked at a room of patients, took out a bag of gold coins from her bag, and put them in Wu Jiuhua's hand.

"This ...... This is ......" Wu Jiuhua felt a little hot and a little overwhelmed.

"You take it, I'm not helping you for nothing" Mu Ling looked at the people on the ground, "I'm going to open a store in Yunzhou City, I need manpower, I don't know if you want to come to the store to help?" ”

Wu Jiuhua listened to the ecstasy, and looked at the people on the ground who also showed a yearning look, she wanted to agree to Mu Ling very much, but she still shook her head.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to live in peace? Mu Ling wondered.

"We think, day and night, but ...... Are we still wanted? Being so blatantly exposed will get you in trouble. Wu Jiuhua's face was full of loss.

Mu Ling listened, and his heart moved slightly, "Leave this matter to me to deal with, now your task is to take good care of them and let them recover, don't think about the rest......"

Hearing Mu Ling's words, Wu Jiuhua cried excitedly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Miss Mu's great kindness, we will never forget"

Mu Ling didn't stop her, and asked Mu Si to help her up, "Those money, you go buy some fresh fruits and vegetables first, I'll give you a recipe, you give them to eat according to the above every day, and I will have someone pick you up in less than two days" Mu Ling took out a pen and paper and wrote a full book.

"Well, I remember!" Wu Jiuhua burst into tears, and her hand holding the recipe was trembling all the time.

At this time, Wu Shan and Feng Xu came back, Wu Shan's face was not so indifferent, and he was polite to Mu Ling.

"Without further ado, let's go back," Mu Ling said to Feng Xu, asking him to send them back again.

"No more blindfolding." Feng Xu listened to Wu Jiuhua's words, feeling guilty and grateful.

Mu Ling shook his head and insisted on going back blindfolded.

Seeing this, Wu Shan lowered half of the vigilance in his heart, but he still couldn't trust Mu Ling wholeheartedly.

Mu Ling also understands, so she is not in a hurry, she needs to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, so that these people can live an upright life.

Wu Jiuhua and Feng Xu took the two back to the city and separated.
