After the man listened, he looked him up and down, only to see that Lin Nian was thin, his face was pale and bloodless, so he nodded and let him go directly.

After entering, he explained his intentions, and the county magistrate here was very reasonable, and directly asked Lin Nian to go to the studio, and the fixed salary was half a tael of silver per month.

It's also very searching, but it's not a few. At least she can live here, Lin Nian readily agreed.

Putting on the thick cloth again, Lin Niannian wore deerskin gloves on both hands, took out his tools with ease, and began to cut the meat with those busy ancient poems.

Most of these are deaths from the black water disease, and although there are special drugs for the black water disease in Lingnan, the number of deaths has been rising.

The number of people who have fallen ill has always been higher than the number of people who have been cured.

Lin was so busy every year that he had to act as a three-person caller, not only to record the life of the deceased, but also to restore the appearance of the deceased, and by the way, to take care of chores and put on a shroud for the deceased.

After a lot of busyness, it was already dark.

When it was finally time to rest, Lin Niannian took off his heavy clothes and took off the gloves on his hands.

“… New kid, here's lunch for you. Sitting on the side steps, one of the older servants came over with a food box, and the other young servants rushed up to eat.

Only Lin Niannian was left standing in place dumbfounded, and the person who delivered the meal still had some sympathy, left a steamed bun for Lin Niannian, and sat down by the way.

"It's good to get used to it, our county master picks the door, and he can ignore the food." "My name is Dacheng, what about you?" ”

Lin Niannian thought about it and looked at the steamed bun in his hand: "Lin Yan." ”

"Good name!" Dacheng poured a mouthful of water from the sheepskin water bag on his waist, wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I don't hear your accent like a Lingnan person." ”

"It's like it's from the north. What are you doing in Lingnan? There is a lot of miasma here, and there are many deaths. ”

Lin Niannian sighed and said, "There is no way, the original place can't be mixed up, so I want to come here to beg for food." But I think you're doing a lot of work here. ”

"Of course that's a good idea." Dacheng didn't know what to remember, and the expression on his face was a little weird, "Since... Three... It's that after that person died, strange things continued in Lingnan City. ”

"Anyway, people die every year, but there are a lot of deaths this year."

Lin Nian didn't speak, chewing on dry steamed buns, and suddenly remembered the matter of Fengcheng.

Dacheng saw that she didn't speak, so he continued to say to himself: "But maybe it will be fine after a while, the prefect issued a decree to carry out a full search and arrest from today, but anyone who shows signs of blackwater disease will be pulled down the barren mountains outside the city." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Niannian's action of chewing things froze in place.

She stared at Dacheng fixedly, desperately swallowing the contents of her mouth: "But what about those patients who are not blackwater patients?" ”

"As soon as the prefect's decree came out, it was clearly an opportunity for the officials below."

"Those people have always been poor, and if they get this little right, they will definitely do humane things." Lin Niannian frowned, and his mood was instantly bad.

"There's no way around that, I heard that it seems to be someone from the capital. The prefect is good for political performance. That's all I have to say. ”

"After all, it's difficult to be an official, and it's not a good master from this capital!"

Lin Niannian had no intention of listening to what was said later, and while the two were talking, there was already a quarrel on the street.

"Let go, let go! What are you doing, my daughter is infected with wind cold, not some kind of black water disease! An old woman pulled the disheveled girl, and the two servants in front of the lively girl sneered, and pushed the old woman to the ground.

"If you want to find your daughter, go and cry to the prefect!" After that, ignoring the struggles and shouts of the two people, he took the girl away.

Lin Nian was stunned in place, and suddenly thought of something, the thing in his hand fell to the ground, and then ran wildly regardless of it.

"Xiaolin, you thing! Are you still here in the afternoon? Dacheng hadn't reacted at the moment, caught the steamed bun that Lin Niannian had fallen on the ground, and shouted.

Lin Niannian ignored the shouts behind him and walked towards the courtyard of Chunhong's house.

He was thinking, what if Chunhong was also taken away?

The so-called putting people on barren mountains to treat diseases is actually just a nice thing to say, and everyone knows that putting people there is basically a life of nine deaths.

Barren mountains are infested with wild beasts, and there is no food. Even if you are not a patient with blackwater disease, you can't survive two days on the barren mountain.

Chunhong is a weak woman, how can she withstand this.

She ran forward desperately, and suddenly bumped into someone unexpectedly.

"You are blind, you dare to hit the little master!" Yuan Kui was carrying a large pile of stones in his hand, and when Lin Niannian hit him like this, those stones fell to the ground and hit his feet, and his facial features were wrinkled together in pain.

"Lin Niannian, what medicine did you take wrong today?" Before the quarrel between the two had been turned over, Yuan Kui jumped to his feet angrily and scolded.

Lin Niannian was stunned, and when he saw that it was him, he reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"It's too late to explain, come back with me!"

Yuan Kui was a little stunned, and subconsciously followed her back.

"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Kui saw that there was something wrong with her expression, and couldn't help but say.

As they spoke, the two of them had already come to Chunhong's small courtyard.

Sure enough, Chunhong was held up by two officials, and Meng Wang's little feet were padded, shouting how far he chased out, but everything was to no avail.

"Old woman, it's easy to want your daughter to go back, as long as you come up with twenty taels of silver!"

The servant was fierce and vicious, and sneered hideously.

"I... How can I have money, all the adults are okay, my daughter is just weak, twenty taels of silver, you wait for my wife to make it up for you, you can do well, slow down for a few days. ”

Meng Wang's family cried and grabbed the ground, and when the officials saw that there was no silver to take, they immediately turned their faces, and a thin and tall man stretched out his hand to push the old lady.

This time it was ten percent of his strength, if the Meng Wang clan was really retreated, with this old lady's body and bones, it would inevitably suffer a lot of damage.

At the critical moment, Yuan Kui finally reacted quickly, and quickly caught Meng Wang's hand, and then glared angrily:

"What the hell are you doing? Do you have to make a fuss? ”

"Human life?" The two of them glanced at each other and sneered, "I don't care what kind of life you have, who are you, dare to point fingers here." Beware of me catching you! ”
