Chapter 227 I don’t know if this master is good or not
The current situation is really tricky. It is a disaster year and these soldiers have no other skills to make a living except practicing martial arts every day.
They couldn’t even get enough food to eat. They were so hungry that they had no strength left and couldn’t do many things.
Want to find a job at the escort agency? They won't hire people like them.
After all, in this disaster year, everyone is struggling to protect themselves, filling their stomachs has become a luxury, and it is even more difficult for these soldiers to survive.
A group of people quickly arrived at the camp. Master Bai looked at them and said, "You must think carefully. You served the country before, but from now on you can only serve our family."
Zhao Lei looked at Master Bai and said, "We have thought it through. From now on, you will be our master..."
"Hey! What? You recognized the wrong master. Your master is Lin Wanwan..."
Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment and said, "Then may I ask where our master is? We will go to see him later."
In fact, Zhao Lei was very panicked. He didn't know whether this master was easy to talk to. What if he was a tyrannical one? What would he do?
Master Bai coughed and said:
"Ah... no hurry, no hurry, you can't see her like this.
Eat some food first! If anyone is sick, take medicine first.
Then change into another set of clothes, you are wearing too little."
Zhao Lei muttered to himself, their master might be a bit of a germaphobe, otherwise why would he have to change clothes!
But he didn't dare to say anything.
There were still a lot of clothes at home, maybe hundreds of pieces if pieced together. Mrs. Bai asked someone to take these clothes out.
The clothes of these soldiers are already very worn out. Some of them are still wearable, but some are really in terrible condition.
All the shoes were worn out, so Mrs. Bai asked someone to take them out.
Some of these clothes and shoes were placed on the flatbed cart, and some were placed in their backpacks, so it was very convenient to take them out.
Some of these clothes were stripped off from monks, some were obtained from wizards, and some were obtained from bandits.
Soon they changed their clothes and shoes, and Mrs. Bai had someone prepare some food for them.
They each received a bowl of coarse rice porridge, and some even shed tears: "Wow...it's been so long since I had hot food."
"Okay, why are you crying? Let's serve our master well from now on."
"Yes, let's drink it quickly. We can help with some things later."
There are more and more disaster victims here, and everyone knows that they can get free medicine here.
The medicines in Luoyang City are very expensive now, and ordinary people can't afford them at all. Madam Bai sighed and said, "We don't have many herbs left. What's more, we need water to boil the medicine, and we are running out of water."
Zhao Qiaoniang said helplessly: "Then stop it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw dozens of people surrounding him and asking, "Who allowed you to sell medicine here? Are the medicines you sell here fake? Arrest them."
Master Bai looked at them and said:
"What do you want to do? Where can we cook the medicine?
It's just boiling some water for the victims to drink, isn't that allowed?"
Those people sneered and said:
"Okay, okay, boiled water, right? It's best not to let us find out you're selling drugs.
If we find you, we will send you straight to the government office."
These people all work in pharmacies. To put it bluntly, what Zhao Qiaoniang and her colleagues did violated their interests. Even if there were free medicines, people would not go to the pharmacies.
Business in the pharmacy is not good today. These people smashed their pots.
Zhao Qiaoniang came out and looked at the person hiding not far away. Then Sun Mei and several people from the village came out.
Sun Mei said, "Don't you want to be a good person? I'll let her do whatever she wants. Bah! I hate this kind of woman the most. Why is she pretending to be so generous?"
"That's right! We have enough money to support so many people, so why not use it in our village?"
Bai Qian smiled faintly and said, "After all, everyone has different ideas. Maybe Qiao Niang is just kind."
"Hahaha... kind? Don't be fooled by her appearance. She is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and very bad!" Sun Mei couldn't help but say.
They have been living in Luoyang City for some time. Sun Mei has been very upset recently. Her three children have fallen ill one after another, and she has been living in the pharmacy recently.
She originally had dozens of taels of silver on her, and she had almost used it up. But when she suddenly saw Huangmao today, she knew that Zhao Qiaoniang and the others had caught up with her again.
It’s unlucky every time she meets these people. The wizard didn’t kill Zhao Qiaoniang last time, but this time she couldn’t bear it anymore.
When she saw the prescription, the first thing she did was to tell the owner of the pharmacy. Sure enough, there were fewer patients in the afternoon.
In fact, selling prescriptions is not a good thing for pharmacies. If they don’t know the prescriptions, the victims will spend all their money to buy medicine.
The medicines in the pharmacy were used up very quickly, but now that there are prescriptions, everyone only gets those medicines, and they can't make any money at all.
Zhao Qiaoniang couldn't help but mutter, "It's those evil spirits again. Nothing good ever happens when I run into them. I really suspect they're behind this."
Madam Bai sneered and said:
“Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be punished with evil; it’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
We don't need to worry so much, Sun Mei and the others will face their retribution later!"
Zhao Qiaoniang sighed and said, "The most pitiful ones are the disaster victims, but we don't have enough medicine, so let's just forget it!"
They also want to save people, but now they have so many people to support, and the premise of saving people is that they must protect themselves.
In the evening, just after Zhao Qiaoniang finished drinking her porridge, she saw Naitang looking at her and biting her trouser leg.
"Toffee, do you have any new discoveries?"
Naitang nodded, and Zhao Qiaoniang quickly took dozens of women and followed Naitang.
Naitang must have made a big discovery. Zhao Qiaoniang followed Naitang helplessly, crouching down and crawling into Luoyang City through the narrow dog hole.
Naitang seemed to be very familiar with this dog hole and liked to take everyone through it every time.
The group followed closely, walking hurriedly, turning around and around in the winding alleys of the city. After a long time, a pharmacy finally appeared in front of them.
Everyone stopped outside the drugstore, and Sun Mei's voice could be heard faintly from inside the store.
I only heard Sun Mei lower her voice, but still questioned with some anger:
"I arranged for you to go and smash the place today and destroy all their stuff, why didn't you do it?
Also, those people should be taken to the government office directly, why haven't they taken action yet?"
The drugstore owner looked at her coldly and said:
"You think the government office is owned by your family? If you really arrest them, what do you want me to say to the magistrate?
They said they were helping the disaster victims and draining their own medicinal materials, and I was petty and couldn't stand it, so I arrested them?"
