Chapter 372: Kind Doctors in Yuan City
After saying that, and mentioning that Nangong Yupiao wanted her to send the three children away, Guan Chibei’s eyes darkened. Then, he looked at her and said, “You don’t have to worry. The three children will be fine.”
The three babies would be fine, especially now that there was the black panther as their guardian beast. Could Nangong Yupiao be stronger than a fierce beast with intelligence?
Even if she wanted to do something, it was impossible to succeed.
“Let’s get back to work first.” Ye Lulu turned around and washed her hands. This matter was disgusting, but business was still the most important. She had to do business first.
“Yes.” Guan Chibei felt that it was nothing. He replied and told her not to worry before turning around and leaving.
Business continued and Ye Lulu busied herself with the dishes for the day.
…
From spring to summer, everything was livelier. Yuan City was also more prosperous and bustling. There were endless voyages on the Yuan River.
As the next season inched closer, many children in Yuan City had fallen sick recently.
This was not a problem of not taking good care of them, but a change in seasons. Every time this happened, the children in Yuan City would fall sick on a large scale.
It was a small matter if they only had a cough or a fever. Although some colds were not serious in the beginning, farmers were poor and had no money to step into the doors of a large medical center. The longer the delay, the more serious the illness, the more dire the consequences.
Therefore, this year, there were Kind Doctors from the government. If farmers’ children had a cold or minor illness, they would bring the children to the Kind Doctors to prevent them from becoming seriously ill.
In front of the government’s door, there was a long queue in front of the Kind Doctor’s stall every day…
The queue for the commoners who brought their children to see the Kind Doctor was so long that they almost passed through the main street.
The Kind Doctors were so busy that they couldn’t take all of them in and didn’t even have time to drink water. They were working later and later hours each day. For a few nights, the Kind Doctors only returned home at midnight. Often, at night, there were citizens who suddenly carried their children and rushed over to ask the Kind Doctors for help.
The officials naturally had to do something. They knew that many children had been sick in the city recently and that Kind Doctors were busy. They raised Kind Doctors’ payments to three times the amount of money. It was said that this was from County Magistrate Lin’s personal pockets.
With the Kind Doctors, many children’s illnesses were cured this time. The praise for the Kind Doctors in Yuan City was even higher. The Kind Doctors were very famous in Yuan City. There were even citizens who thanked them gratefully when they saw them.
In the alley.
The woman scooped up a bowl of porridge. The porridge was very hot. Her face darkened as she prepared to carry the porridge from the stove to the table. In the courtyard at home, the boy climbed up a branch, that was neither high nor low, to pick the last flower on the peach tree for the girl.
After picking the flower, the boy could not get down.
Looking at the ground, the boy’s face revealed fear. He belatedly felt afraid.
“Come down. Come down.”
The girl stood under the tree and looked up at the boy, urging him.
“I can’t…”
The boy gripped the tree trunk tightly with one hand and replied to the girl hesitantly. However, he did not let go of the pink flower. He wanted to pick it for his sister.
Although the two children had experienced too much at such a young age, they were still too young. As soon as they encountered something terrifying, the boy could not control himself and instinctively cried out.
“Wa… Wa…”
“I… I can’t come down. I’m afraid.”
The boy did not cry very fiercely, but his thin legs stood on the tree trunk and trembled fiercely. His voice also trembled.
