Chapter 67: Help
When I came, I didn't bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but fortunately, I found a little straw paper in the broken temple, and found half a piece of charcoal to probably write down everyone's condition.
The six of them were not seriously ill, but they were all infected with wind and cold, and the food was not clean, which led to diarrhea and other diseases.
All six of them are old, and it is definitely not possible to live here for a long time.
glanced at the room, saw that the pumpkin girl was still eating steamed buns, turned her head, and looked at a few people: "How did you plan it?" It's definitely not okay to live in the City God Temple for a long time, do you want to go back? ”
Several people shook their heads and sighed, one of them said: "We all want to go back, but we are all old, and we can't find anything to do, and we have discussed it, whoever wants to die in the back will be buried for the person in front, and the last one to die can only trouble the pumpkin mother and son." ”
Several people have lived in the City God Temple for so long, and they also have feelings for each other.
Lin Qingdai sighed and said, "Later, I'll let the pumpkin go with me to grab the medicine, you can recuperate your body well, go back, and as for pestering me, I'll help you think of a way." ”
I can't get over it regardless of my conscience.
The old man at the head shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "Doctor Lin, you are really a bodhisattva, a few of us are old and useless, you don't need to help us, I just ask you to help a group of pumpkin mothers and sons, they are still young." ”
Lin Qingdai has no relatives and no reason with them, and she has helped them enough, so it's really not good to trouble Lin Qingdai again.
Lin Qingdai understood the meaning of several old people: "Do you still have relatives in your hometown?" ”
The old man at the head shook his head and said: "No, our whole family came out together to escape the famine, and then we got separated halfway, and I don't know where my son and daughter-in-law went, that's it, that's it for this life, Dr. Lin Pumpkin is a good boy, this child is filial and sensible, if there is a lack of an errand runner around you, can you leave him behind?" You don't need to give money, you just need to give food. ”
Lin Qingdai glanced back at the pumpkin mother and son, and then said: "You should all have families, I will let people come to you in three days, send you back to your hometown, return to your roots, and farm well after you go back, it is better than sleeping outside, maybe your family has gone back to wait for you." ”
She still has a little bit of money, so she has to find a way to make up a little bit and send a few people back.
As for the pumpkin mother and son, she had to ask what it meant.
There is no maid in the courtyard, she will definitely be very busy in the future, and she also needs a cleaning person by her side.
As for Xiao Tong, she also wants to have someone who can take care of Xiao Tong, Pumpkin is two years older than Xiao Tong, she can be Xiao Tong's companion reading child, and she can also learn a little bit of something, even if she leaves in the future, she can make a living.
Several old people were thinking about Lin Qingdai's words, saying that it was a lie if they didn't want to go home, and they actually wanted to go back, even if they died, they would die in their homeland.
But to trouble Lin Qingdai, I really don't want to go.
Lin Qingdai didn't say much, turned around and entered the house.
"I don't know what my aunt's name is?" She asked, looking at Pumpkin Niang.
After eating two steamed buns, the pumpkin lady felt a lot more comfortable, and replied gently: "I am much older than you, if Dr. Lin wants, you can call me Aunt Fang." ”
Lin Qingdai squatted down, took Aunt Fang's hand, and began to check the pulse.
The pumpkin stood aside and didn't dare to come out, and waited until Lin Qingdai put her hand down, then asked eagerly: "Doctor Lin, how is my mother's health?" ”
Lin Qingdai comforted: "Don't worry, you will be cured by taking two pairs of medicines, I just discussed it with a few old people outside, I want to ask you, is there a place to go?" ”
When Aunt Fang heard this, she lowered her head and wept, and even the pumpkin wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"What's going on? Auntie, can you talk to me about it? She panicked.
Aunt Fang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and said: "Pumpkin and I have nowhere to go, Pumpkin Daddy went hunting a few years ago and fell down the hillside, Grandma Pumpkin's family said that I was a mourning star, occupied our family's land and house, and drove the two of us out, I wanted to go back to my mother's house, and my mother's brother didn't let us enter the house, so I had no choice but to follow the people who fled the famine to Ningyang City, but I didn't want to encounter the plague." ”
Lin Qingdai didn't expect the pumpkin mother and son to be so miserable, and sighed: "I temporarily live in the small courtyard of King Li, only me and my brother live, it just so happens that my brother and I are short of people to take care of, so I want to ask you, if you are willing to stay with me and my brother, it is estimated that the salary will not give you too much, after all, I still owe a lot of silver to the prince to repay, but I will definitely not let you go hungry." ”
The salary will definitely be given, she said this, and she also wanted to test the heart of the pumpkin mother and son.
Aunt Fang didn't hesitate at all, pulled the pumpkin and knelt directly in front of Lin Qingdai.
Lin Qingdai hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help the two up, but she couldn't help them.
Aunt Fang said gratefully: "Doctor Lin, don't pull us, this head must be knocked on, thank you for helping us, Pumpkin and I are willing to be cattle and horses by your side in this life, we don't ask for wages, as long as Dr. Lin gives us a bite to eat, we will be content." ”
Lin Qingdai was very satisfied with the attitude of Aunt Fang's mother and son.
"Get up, as long as you are loyal to me and my brother, and do things seriously, I will definitely not treat your mother and son badly, and if you want to leave in the future, just say it."
She just wants to help the two mothers and sons, but there are certain requirements, and if she is not faithful, it will definitely be useless to stay by her side.
Aunt Fang promised: "I can swear to God, Pumpkin and I will never do anything to be sorry for Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin can take in our mother and son, it is a great favor to us, how can we have other thoughts." ”
She is not an ungrateful person, Lin Qingdai took them in obviously to give them a way to live.
Lin Qingdai stood up: "Pumpkin, you go back to the city with me to get the medicine back, and find a carriage to pull your mother to the courtyard." ”
Pumpkin nodded sensibly and asked Aunt Fang to pack up her things, and she left with Pumpkin.
Half an hour later, Lin Qingdai went to the medicine hall to get all the herbs she needed, and after buying some food for a few people in the City God Temple, she found a carriage to go to the City God Temple.
After giving the herbs he had caught to a few old people, he gave the food he bought to a few people.
"You guys pack up these days, I'll look for you in three days, and I'll ask someone to send you back to your hometown when the time comes."
The old man at the head was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Dr. Lin." ”
Lin Qingdai also felt uncomfortable: "I can't help you much, this is two taels of silver, you take it on the road as a plate, I will pay the silver money for the carriage, and I will find someone who knows the bottom to send you back." ”
She was going to ask Aozora for help when she got back.
