Zhou Yu whipped all the way to the city, and then came to the pharmacy, grabbed a few flavors of medicine and asked the guys to help fry them. The medicine was not meant to cure the disease, but to enable the woman to last two more days. Zhou Yu didn't know if it was a correct decision to let a person who had already lived so painfully suffer for two more days, but human life is precious, and it can help people continue their lives, at least from a good starting point, he decided to listen to his own heart.

After grabbing the medicine, he came to Yongping County. After a brief explanation of the situation, Fan Qingyun took him to the prison, where two young men in their twenties who were dressed in shabby clothes were locked up in the same cell. They kept pacing, looking extremely anxious, and from time to time let out a few desperate cries, begging the prefectural magistrate to let them out.

Until Zhou Yu arrived, they seemed to feel the appearance of a savior, shouting over and over again, as if the louder they were, the more they deserved pity.

Fan Qingyun asked the jailer to open the cell door and let the two brothers out, and they thanked them again and again.

Zhou Yu stood aside and said, "I went to Sanli Temple......"

"You went to the Three Mile Temple?! What happened to my mother and my sister?! Don't you know that it's not a disaster for your family? Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, one of the men rushed up, lifted his collar, and said viciously.

But soon he was pulled away by two jailers and pushed to the ground. Fan Qingyun also reprimanded loudly: "Cheng Youhu, don't be presumptuous!" ”

"You brute! You can't die well......" Cheng Youhu's vicious words continued.

"Can you hear me finish?!" Zhou Yu was also angry, and when he came to this world, it was the first time he spoke so loudly.

As soon as he roared, the surroundings fell silent, and Cheng Youhu, who was scolding, also stared at him, as if waiting for his explanation.

"I went to Sanli Temple and checked your mother's pulse, she was very sick, plus it was freezing this day, and she didn't eat a few full meals, and now her body is very weak." Zhou Yu said expressionlessly, perhaps it was the person's actions just now that made him feel a little unhappy.

"Are you Langzhong?" Another man stepped forward, held Zhou Yu's hand, and said almost in tears: "Sir, how is my mother's illness?" Can it be cured? ”

Zhou Yu slowly shook his head and said, "There is a way, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I also want to cure your mother's illness." But unfortunately, she was so sick that she had barely eaten, and her body was too weak to be shortly fed...... I grabbed a few pairs of medicine in Jichun Hall, although I can't save your mother's life, but I can buy her more time. I have asked the guy in the shop to fry the medicine, and you can take it directly when you go back, and I have already paid for the money. ”

Listening to Zhou Yu's words, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were instantly stunned, as if their souls had been drained away, but it was the same for anyone else, knowing that their mother was seriously ill and dying, and the despair in their hearts was beyond the empathy of others.

"Sir...... Dare to ask how many days my mother has left? Cheng Youhu's brother asked.

"If it's like it is now, it's as little as a day or two, and as much as three or five days. If you take the medicine I prescribe and eat something during the day, you may have six or seven days. Zhou Yu said truthfully that he had done everything he could.

After hearing this, the man's eyes were extremely gloomy, but he still knelt down and saluted Zhou Yu: "Sir, thank you very much!" ”

Zhou Yu motioned to the jailer to let go of Cheng Youhu, and then helped Cheng Youlong up and said, "My medical practice is shallow, and I can't save your mother." Also, the person you met this morning is my uncle, and I beg your pardon for his offense. In addition, the money counts as compensation. I'm not a curse, but as soon as your mother leaves, Shoucai will always be wanted, right? There are ten taels of silver in it, and after burying her old man, take your sister away, find a good place, do a business, and support the family. Zhou Yu said and handed over a money bag.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Youhu regretted his reckless behavior just now, and apologized to Zhou Yu again and again.

Zhou Yu helped him up again, but he didn't say anything, just told them about the dosage of the medicine, and left the prison. Before leaving, Zhou Yu glanced at the two brothers again, and the other party also happened to look at him. That kind of look was not fully understood by Zhou Yu until much later.

It is the extravagant hope of the lower class for the upper class, and it contains both joy and sorrow. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was a good person and did not embarrass them because of Feng Liang's matter, and even bought medicine for their mother and gave them a sum of silver; The sad thing is that the age gap is not large, but there is a huge gap in status. They just want to save their mothers, but if they want to survive, they are already struggling. In other words, everything they have can be regarded as Zhou Yu's charity.

After all, if Zhou Yu hadn't shown great kindness, they might have to stay in prison for a while. Besides, how could the yamen offend the big taxpayer Juxianlou for the sake of just a few disaster victims? But if that were the case, their seriously ill mother, their poor sister, would probably never have been able to wait for them to go back.

Zhou Yu was in a hurry when he went out, and when he came home, he lost his soul and refused to eat. After handing over the wind to the child, he returned to the house and fell asleep. He still thought that there was a little girl waiting for him to go back to save her mother, but at this moment, Zhou Yu hoped to escape this reality. He once heard a friend of his medical profession say that most of the diseases in the world are incurable, so everyone who studies medicine must have a strong psychology to overcome the despair that time and time again.

Or maybe he remembered a line from a certain movie: There is only one disease in this world, the disease of poverty.

Feng Yue and He Shuiling brought the food to the room, thinking that he would eat as much as he wanted, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was startled when he saw it, Zhou Yu was crying silently!

Since Zhou Yu recovered from his injury, Feng Yue saw Zhou Yu crying for the first time.

This frightened the two girls, and for them, Zhou Yu's crying was no different from the sky falling.

The two hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks aside, sat down next to Zhou Yu on the left and right, and asked what happened.

Zhou Yu wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, twitched his somewhat blocked nose, and asked, "Xiaoyue, do you still remember our days in Xiaolong Village?" It's the days before I got hurt......"

"Of course I remember, at that time, our family often didn't have rice to cook, and even the grain seeds were borrowed from Liu Yuanwai's family, and I was deceived into signing an IOU of five taels of silver!" Feng Yue recalled.

"Yes, later, our family relied on Chen Jin's foolish melon skin to get rich overnight, and also opened Juxian Building, defeated Liu Yuanwai, and lived in a big house, and the eldest brother also became the master as he wished, but he seemed to have forgotten our previous days, and forgot that there were still poor people in this world. The two people this morning were refugees from Xigou Village, they lived in Sanli Temple, which was cold in winter and hot in summer, and they also had a sick mother and a sister who was about ten years old, so I was afraid that they would have run out of food for a long time. If they were to be locked up for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that there would only be two sets of bones left in the house! After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he sighed again and again.

The two girls didn't expect the family situation of these two to be so difficult, He Shuiling was hungry when she was in the theater class, and her experience of hunger was very profound, so she hurriedly asked, "What about later?" ”

"Later? Later, I asked Fan County Commander to release them, gave them ten taels of silver, helped their mother prescribe medicine, and came back. Zhou Yu said.

"Our family is not short of that little money, you can give them more!" Feng Yue said anxiously.

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Yu sat up and looked at Feng Yue, and said seriously: "Xiaoyue, you may arrange dozens or hundreds of taels of silver a day, but don't forget, a few months ago, our family couldn't even take out a penny of silver. Just because you owe Liu Yuanwai five taels of silver, you almost became his fifth wife. Don't look at these ten taels of silver is nothing to our family, but how long does it take for ordinary people to earn so much money, have you calculated? ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Feng Yue also fell silent, her arithmetic was not good, and every time it involved in calculations, Zhou Yu helped him complete it. But she knew that in Xiaolong Village, hundreds of people couldn't make up ten taels of silver, but now that her life is better, she has slowly lost her concept of money, because with Zhou Yu here, this family has never been short of money.

Feng Yue had stopped talking, but Zhou Yu's words continued: "Of course, giving them more money is not a big deal, even if you give a hundred taels, there is no problem." But it's not just these poor people in this world, do we have to give him fifty hundred taels every time we see a disaster victim? Even if we tear our house down, we won't be able to come up with so much money! Meng Ziyun: If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Although our family is not poor, it has not yet reached the point where the rich rival the country, how can we save so many poor people? In addition, there are several people in our Tianyu Garden who have disabilities in their hands and feet, but they never thought of asking for food on the street, but earned a living through their own efforts. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and I give money to those two people not because they are poor, but because they really need this money to tide over the current difficulties, and whether they can live a good life in the future depends on themselves. ”

Zhou Yu's words were twisted and turned, and the two girls could only nod half-ignorantly.

"In other words, how to deal with these people who have been affected by the disaster, it is a matter for the imperial court, we can help once, but we can't help every time. I'm a businessman, maybe half a reader, but I'm not a philanthropist, and I can't save people's lives. Zhou Yu lay down again, slowly closed his eyes and said, "I won't eat the meal first, I don't have much appetite, I'll sleep for a while." ”

When the two ladies saw him like this, they had no choice but to let him rest.

This sleep was an afternoon, it was already the time of the unitary, Zhou Yu still didn't get up, and when Feng Yue entered the house to check, he found that Zhou Yu had a fever again!

Fortunately, this is not the first time he has been sick, and he has some medicinal herbs at home. Feng Yue was still puzzled why he was so dignified and burned again, He Shuiling reminded on the side: "Sister, when Xianggong came back, the long coat he was wearing outside was gone...... I guess I left it to that family......"

Feng Yue thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. Her father-in-law is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, but sometimes what she says and does is too profound, which makes her a little unable to see through.

I don't know if it's because I've already had an illness, Zhou Yu recovered surprisingly quickly this time, and he became as bright as ever the next day. But the day has also come to the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and in two days Juxian Lou and other shops will be closed at the end of the year, and it will not be reopened until the fifth day of the first lunar month when the God of Wealth is received.

But the more at this time, the better the business of each restaurant, many people who come back from other places want to get together with old friends, the people of the official family should relax and relax after a busy year, and the landlords and squires should also celebrate this year's harvest.

Zhou Yu took the time to go to Sanli Temple again, but found that the temple was empty, and he didn't know where the Cheng brothers had gone with their mother and sister, but they could only wish them peace and security......
