The concubine is so charming

Chapter 283 The Miserable Scene
Su Yao blinked, feeling that the matter was not simple: "How many disaster victims have gathered here?"

"There should be hundreds of people at the gate of Rongcheng now. I heard that there are still many people rushing over one after another. The number should not be small."

Rongcheng itself was affected by the disaster. If so many people entered suddenly, the whole Rongcheng would be in chaos, but if they were not allowed to enter, the victims would surround Rongcheng, and some people could not help but start to attack the city gate. , if the conflict is intensified, there may be a big mess.

"Old man, what's the situation in the city now?"

"There was no movement in the city for the time being, but Mu Cixiu sent a large number of people to guard the gate of the city. Prime Minister Chu also sent people out of the city to appease the victims. Bigger mess."

"This is only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution." Su Yao's expression was solemn, as there were more and more disaster victims, but Rongcheng's digestion capacity was limited, and it was difficult to stabilize the situation for a long time by only relying on porridge.

"There's no other way. Mu Cixiu didn't give the order to allow the victims to enter the city, and we can't leave so many people alone. I want to prepare some medicinal materials, and then go to the gate of the city for a free clinic. It's also convenient to inquire about news." Voice.

Su Yao nodded, and looked at Huhetu worriedly: "Uncle, you are not recovering from your injuries, so you should stay at home and rest for the time being. I will go with Mr. Mei."

"A little flesh injury is nothing serious. It's too dangerous for you, the old and the weak, to go among the victims. I'll accompany you for protection. It's just to see how those grain merchants are rich and unkind."

Mentioning grain merchants, Su Yao's heart sank: "Uncle, how much grain have those grain merchants hoarded?"

"Releasing all of them is enough to help Rongcheng and those victims survive the current crisis. Moreover, most of the grain merchants in Jiangnan are related to each other. They have established chambers of commerce and are closely related to water transportation. I heard that some people have investigated it before, but in the end No evidence was found."

Su Yao blinked, and gradually had a vague idea in his mind, but how to implement it needs to be discussed with Chu Feiyan: "Let's go to the gate of Rongcheng for a free clinic, let's talk about the specific situation. "

"it is good."

The next day, Su Yao followed Mr. Mei to the outside of Rongcheng. From a distance, he saw crows and crows at the gate of the city full of people. When he got closer, he couldn't help frowning.

The weather was already hot, and most of these victims were ragged, yellow and thin, and they had traveled a long way, and their original appearance could not be seen on their bodies, and they smelled sour and pungent.

Some people were also injured, the wounds were dirty and black, red, swollen and festered, and they looked extremely miserable...

Su Yao's mind was touched. She knew the cruelty of natural disasters, but it was the first time she saw such a horrific scene with her own eyes. She felt extremely depressed: "Grandpa..."

Old Master Mei turned his head to see her pale face, and sighed slightly: "The world is difficult. If the heavens are not beautiful, the people will live in dire straits. Today's situation is already considered good."

He has seen the real desperation, that is the real corpses littering the fields, many people have to change their children to eat in order to survive, so many years have passed, and thinking about it now, it still feels vivid and bloody.

The arrival of the two caused a little commotion among the victims. After hearing that they were healers, many people rushed forward and begged the two for help.

Hu Hetu hastily stepped forward to block the flow of people, but he was injured and his movements were quite inconvenient.

Mr. Mei hurriedly raised his hand to signal the victims to calm down, and then said: "There are many people, and the illnesses vary in severity, but my granddaughter and I are only two. We can only save lives and then treat illnesses. We will be in the open space next to you." Wait, those who are seriously ill will be brought over for treatment first, and please wait for others. Everyone has gone all the way to Rongcheng, so please be considerate of each other. We will continue to provide free clinics at the gate of the city until everyone settles down. until."

After Mr. Mei said this, the noisy flow of people gradually quieted down.

An old man who was about his age coughed slightly and gave up his seat: "The old man is old, but his body is still strong, so let's give up the seat to those who are seriously ill. Those of us with mild illness It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

With the leader, many people gradually followed, leaving some space around.

Su Yao heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: a friend in adversity sees the truth, even though these people have been driven into a desperate situation, the vast majority of them are kind-hearted people, and they are brave in the face of adversity. It's really admirable to lose your heart.

Soon, a middle-aged man was carried over.One of his legs was broken, and the legs were wrapped with layers of blackened coarse cloth. His eyes were closed and his body was hot. Only his chest heaved slightly, and he seemed to be in danger.

A woman knelt down in front of Old Mei with a plop, "I beg for help, doctor. Yesterday, when he stormed the city gate, my husband was trampled and broke his leg in order to protect the child. If we don't heal him, I'm afraid he will die..."

Mr. Mei hurried forward, stretched out his hand and untied the cloth strips wrapped around his legs, and blood splattered out immediately. He tightened his brows and said, "The bones are not broken neatly, and only a little flesh is connected. I can't keep one leg, I need to amputate the leg, if it's fatal, your husband may still survive."

The woman almost fainted when she heard that, but she nodded with strength: "Okay, doctor, please do your best, and it would be nice if you can save your life. He suffered too much in the past to support his family. Now my child and I Come and raise him..."

A child about seven or eight years old threw herself in front of the woman: "Mother, don't cry. When I grow up, I will take care of Mother and Daddy..."

Su Yao's heart trembled, and he didn't say much, he just stepped forward to put down the medicine box, took out the silver needles, and helped Mr. Mei prepare various medicine powders.

Hu Hetu took out the spirits brought behind him, took a bowl and poured it directly on the leg of the man with the broken leg. The severe pain woke up the comatose man suddenly, and his whole body convulsed uncontrollably.

Mr. Mei stabbed the person unconscious with two needles, and then took out a short knife and handed it to Huhe Tu: "Hit it faster."

Hu Hetu nodded, clenched the short knife in his hand, and slashed at the man's broken leg. His strike was crisp and neat, and the cut section was extremely neat.

Blood gushed out, and the severe pain caused the man to struggle continuously. Su Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help hold him down. The blood stained his dress, but she didn't care about it at all.

Mr. Mei repeatedly applied needles to stop the bleeding, and then wrapped the man's broken leg tightly with a clean cloth to prevent the blood from bleeding too much.

Many victims around were stunned and couldn't help but exclaim.

The woman with the child watched her husband twitch again and again, sobbing that he could hardly cry out.

Old Mei wrote a prescription and told Su Yao to help with the dispensing: "My lady, there are only three of you, and your ability is really limited, so I can only ask you to make the medicine yourself."

The woman quickly stepped forward to kowtow to thank her: "Thank you doctor, I can make medicine." Although she is not sure whether her man will survive, but looking at the blood stains on Mei Lao, Su Yao and others and the sweat on their foreheads All that was left in her heart was pure gratitude.
