Chapter 255 Someone is really causing trouble
The county magistrate understood and immediately whispered to the maid to go to the kitchen and arrange for two more such cakes to be prepared.
"Master, are we going to check on the victims?" asked Mu Baobao.
Doctor Deng took her hand and walked out. "Now let's go check on the victims."
"Baby, you promised me that when we get out of town, you'll stay by my side, okay?"
They entered the city from the gate where there were no disaster victims, so they did not see the gathering of disaster victims.
Mu Baobao agreed obediently.
When the master and his disciple, accompanied by a dozen servants arranged by the county magistrate, arrived at the place where the victims gathered outside the city, they saw a huge crowd of victims.
Mu Baobao was shocked by the scene before him and stood there blankly. How could there be so many victims?
There is no end in sight.
Doctor Deng was also surprised. He didn't expect there would be so many victims. The number of victims was a bit too many.
He took Mu Baobao to the free clinic.
There are three doctors here for the free clinic, all of whom were paid by the county government to provide free clinics.
Doctor Deng did not steal the show. He found an empty seat and sat down, holding the wooden baby and observing the surroundings and the situation of the victims.
The victims were either gathering together to chat or hiding in simple tents, with a few also making medicine.
From time to time, coughing can be heard.
"This horrible weather, the snow keeps falling. It's been so many days and it's still snowing."
"It's good to have something to eat. At least we can live, unlike those who died."
"The county magistrate is a good man. He provides us with three full meals a day and he also provides free medical treatment. The daughter of the family next door to me almost died of a fever. Fortunately, there is a free doctor and medicine."
"It's really cold out here. I can't keep walking."
After observing for a while, Doctor Deng withdrew his gaze and watched the three doctors treat the victims.
The three doctors did not show any disdain for the victims and did a very good job.
"It's typhoid fever, a little fever. Take the medicine back and boil it. Drink it twice a day after meals."
"You're just holding onto something. You need to relax. Look, you have food to eat, and the county magistrate is still looking after you. Why are you worrying so much, right?"
Dr. Deng was very satisfied with the words and deeds of the three doctors. This is what being a doctor is like.
Mu Baobao looked at the victims, and a deep scar was left in his little heart.
So this is what it feels like to not have enough to eat and not be warm enough to wear.
These are so pitiful.
She tried to wrap her cotton jacket tightly around her body, but she had no intention of helping these people.
She knew very well that this was not something she, a little girl, could do, and she should not do it.
As she watched, she saw several disaster victims sneaking towards a small wood not far away.
She tugged at Doctor Deng's sleeve and whispered, "Master, there are a few disaster victims running towards the grove, looking suspiciously suspicious."
She pointed in the direction she was talking about.
Doctor Deng looked in the direction she said and saw five or six male victims running towards the woods.
He narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to call two secret guards, and whispered to them to follow and see what was going on.
The two secret guards followed quietly.
The victims did not notice anything unusual.
Seeing that no one was following them, they quickly disappeared into the woods.
Coming to a secluded corner of the grove, they looked around warily.
The grove was covered with thick snow, which made a crunching sound when stepped on and left a trail of footprints.
Several victims repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around. One of them put his right hand to his mouth and then made a sparrow sound.
After a burst of shouts, a man wearing a black cloak that covered his entire face jumped down from a tree.
"Is the matter settled?"
He spoke in a low voice, and his specific sound could not be heard.
The disaster victim standing in the middle rubbed his hands and said with an ingratiating smile, "It's not done yet."
"Sir, it's not that we didn't do our job well, but the county magistrate forbade any disaster victims from entering the town."
"The most important thing is that everyone who enters the town will be carefully checked."
"Even if we wanted to get in, we couldn't."
The cloaked man cursed inwardly, "I don't care what method you use, just get in as soon as possible and complete the task I instruct you to do."
He threw out a bag of food and two taels of silver, "If you do the job I asked you to do, you will definitely get some benefits."
Several victims immediately started looting.
The first thing they grabbed was the bag of food.
They don't care if the food falls in the snow, they just care if they can eat it.
The food mixed with the cold snow was quickly stuffed into the mouths of several disaster victims.
They were not full. To be more precise, they wanted to eat more, even if it meant they would die of overeating.
They looked at the cloaked man eagerly.
The cloaked man said, "If you do your job well, you will be fed and well paid."
After saying that, he left.
A few victims didn't dare to chase after him and stood there savoring the delicious food.
"How can we sneak into the town? Only after we sneak into the town and complete the mission, we will have countless food and silver."
"Anyone who sees us like this will know we are disaster victims."
"I think if it really doesn't work, we should find a place to wash up properly and then see if we can go into town."
"Let's go back first."
Several disaster victims returned slowly.
……
at dusk.
Mu Baobao followed Doctor Deng to the house arranged by the county magistrate.
This was the first time she had truly seen the house.
This is a two-courtyard house.
As soon as you step in, you will see a spacious front yard.
There are many flowers and plants planted in the front yard. Even in this winter, it is still green and lush, and you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms from time to time.
"Wow!" Baby Mu felt that his eyes were not enough to see it all. "Master, this is so beautiful and so big."
The county magistrate's house was also very nice, but it was too big and she didn't like such a big place.
I always feel empty.
It's pretty good here.
If their family lived here, the brothers could run around here and practice martial arts.
A variety of vegetables, fruits, and rice can be grown in these fields.
How great.
Doctor Deng said, "Baby, when you make money in the future, you can buy a yard like this."
"There's enough room for your whole family to live here."
Mu Baobao nodded, "Master, how much money does it cost to buy a house like this?"
Doctor Deng wasn't too sure about the housing prices here, so he asked the accompanying housekeeper, "Do you know?"
The housekeeper said, "In reply to Doctor Deng, if it's a normal two-courtyard house, it would cost three or four hundred taels of silver."
"If it's better, the price will be a little higher."
Doctor Deng explained to Mu Baobao, "Baby, three or four hundred taels of silver is a lot of money. It will be enough for you to earn for a long time."
For a family like Bao Bao's, it is very likely that they will never be able to earn that much money in their entire life.
