There is no one in the world who cannot be touched. Xiao Letian is extremely convinced that the kindness of Chinese people, especially the people at the bottom, is unmatched by any nation. As long as you can touch them, they will repay you. The utmost kindness. net
Just like today, when the medical team organized by Xiao Letian officially entered the three disaster-stricken villages despite the wind and snow, the helpless people suddenly became excited.
The tall horses trampled on the ice and snow to clear the way in front of them, and the rattling iron wheels crushed a pure white road of ice and snow on the country dirt road. There are all kinds of medicines and food on the carriage, and there is even a blond foreigner in the front cart.
"Folks from Xiaowangzhuang, I, Xiao Letian, am back again. This time I am not pulling firewood, but medicines, food, and doctors. You can't stop me this time, right? You won't let me enter the village this time. ?”
Xiao Letian still held his tin trumpet and stood on the cart shouting at the surrounding villagers. This guy was bad enough and he was still thinking about revenge. When the people at the entrance of the village heard this, they all turned red in the face.
The common people don’t understand what the Industrial Zone is, and they don’t know if Xiao Letian, who studied Western learning, is a monster. Anyway, people say he is a scholar, so that’s it. The common people have been listening to scholars for thousands of years, and they have formed a habit. .
But what happened in the past two days made the people feel extremely chilled. When the village suffered, the scholars could only cry out, "Starving to death is a small matter, but a big mistake is a big mistake." But who in the world is willing to starve to death?
No matter how bad Xiao Letian is, he is still the one who delivers firewood and grass to rescue people in emergencies. He is still the one who ambush and protect the villagers in the middle of the night. Even when a plague spreads in the village, it is Xiao Letian who is the one who delivers medicine. If such people are all bad people, then there are still more bad people. good.
What moved the people even more was that Xiao Letian did not dislike everyone, and everyone could feel this. If unloading the truck in person is just a show, then risking infection and going into the epidemic area to treat the villagers is a real act of benevolence.
"Mr. Xiao, I am so ashamed. I have been so disrespectful to you before. I kowtow to you..." The village chief led a group of people who knelt down in the snow, their foreheads pressed deeply into the snow.
When Xiao Letian saw that the joke had gone too far, he quickly jumped off the cart and helped the old man up. "Old man, you are hurting me. This is killing me... Come on, everyone, get up. I, Xiao Letian, know what's in your heart." What scruples do you have, aren't you just afraid that I will forcefully buy your land? Don't worry, I, Xiao Letian, swear that I will never forcefully buy your land, and I will negotiate with everyone calmly. And if the plague continues, I will never talk about this. Something..."
"Good man, you are truly a good man..." Now all the people were convinced and cried one by one.
The villagers put aside their worries and began to unload the truck. When the goods were off the truck, people realized that Xiao Letian was sincerely helping them.
Various large and small herbal bags have been weighed in Tanggu city, as well as bulk honeysuckle and isatis root. This is a million-dollar prescription for future generations of Xiao Letian's school. It can cure diseases but not prevent them.
There are also rice noodles and oil for each household. In this era, people have some nutrition, and a full meal is very important. Xiao Letian considered it very carefully.
"Folks, didn't you have some big animals that were killed by bad guys? Send them to me, and I will buy them at the normal price of good animals. I will never let you suffer..."
After the frozen cows, horses and mules were delivered, the villagers couldn't believe their eyes when they held the white-flowered Yingyang. Xiao Letian actually bought them at the price of a prime-age live animal. With these foreign money, he went to the spring market Everyone can buy ready-made large livestock.
What made people even more surprised was that Xiao Letian actually started cooking on the spot and invited the braised pork chef from Haihailou to cook it for everyone on the spot. Large pieces of beef, horse meat, and donkey meat were thrown into the boiling water, and a lot of spices that the villagers had never seen were thrown in. After a while, the whole village was filled with the smell of meat.
"You have worked so hard. Today at noon, I, Xiao Letian, will treat you to a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, and a fragrant broth. Today we will celebrate the New Year early... Come on, come on, put the mask on me first, stinky I dare you not to wear a mask and not have your meat for lunch..."
The humanoid villagers, who had been tortured by the recent disasters, finally smiled. They looked at the snow-white gauze masks on their faces and laughed at each other. However, no one dared to take them off because Xiao Letian had already said, As long as you wear this kind of mask, the disease will not enter the human body and typhoid fever will not spread.
"Whatever you say is what you say! Mr. Xiao is a big shot who can write books. He is more reliable than those little scholars. Besides, who else can you listen to if you don't listen to him now?"
Xiaowangzhuang and the two surrounding villages fell instantly under Xiao Letian's warm offensive.
Huang Liu ran out of home just after nine o'clock in the morning. After a long sleep, he had no idea that his housekeeper had been arrested. He never imagined that there were soldiers who could hide in the snow for half the night. , Even if there are such elite soldiers, it is impossible to protect this small and broken village.
So he really didn't take the butler's disappearance seriously. In his mind, the butler might be sleeping in after drinking too much.
Just after eating a bowl of porridge at around nine o'clock, the tenants in the village reported Xiao Letian's news to him. Huang Xiucai was so furious that he smashed the porridge bowl and rushed out with his servants.
"Stop, you are crazy, you are all crazy, how can you let Xiao Letian enter the village? He is the one who brought the plague, he is the disaster star..." Before the scholar could finish speaking, there was a big and hard snap. A snowball hit him in the face, followed by the screams of a group of children.
"Hit it, beat it, this bad guy is burning our firewood, and he doesn't want us to eat meat yet... Beat it, we want to eat meat!" A group of children made snowballs and threw them at Huang Xiucai, as if he was trying to steal the meat. Like a vicious dog.
Huang Liu was stunned. He was wondering what kind of mess it was, what kind of meat was not flesh. "Stop it, you bastards, if you dare to take action again, I will arrest you all and put you in jail..."
"Hey, you have just become a scholar, and you have such great official power. What will you do if you become an official in the future? The people are not going to let you be killed?" Who else could be so angry but Xiao Letian? .
Huang Liu was almost going crazy now, "Xiao Letian, don't try to pretend to be a good person here. I don't know what you are? It's you who burned the firewood and haystacks. You're the one who killed the big animals in the village. Even this plague It was also infected by you, look at it... everyone, look around him, there are foreign devils!"
The foreign devil Huang Liu was talking about was Dr. Barker who had just arrived in Tanggu from Ryukyu yesterday. This British doctor who had successfully performed blood transfusion surgery was excited when he heard that there was a plague in a village and that Xiao Letian was going to lead a team to provide disaster relief. Buck was so excited that he took his medical kit and jumped on the carriage and followed.
The people of Xiaowangzhuang are so lucky. Western medicine is good at rescuing, and Chinese medicine is good at prevention. Those patients who already have high fevers are like meeting a savior when they meet Buck. He rubs his body with a knife to lower his body temperature. The latest cold medicine in London can be taken orally. It takes a whole morning. More than a dozen patients with high fever have been rescued.
At first, the people were indeed a little resistant to foreigners. Later, they heard that this foreign doctor had treated Xiao Letian, and he also knew how to perform blood transfusions. He was a famous miracle doctor in the West. Now the people didn't dare to speak, and looked at the foreign master with a lot of fear. But no matter what, everyone was convinced by the foreign master's medical skills.
Now Huang Liu actually scolded Xiao Letian and the doctor together. The villagers could no longer suppress their anger. A young man rushed up and shouted, "You are a mad dog. If I tell you to bite again, I will beat you to death, you bastard." …”
Several young people rushed out of the crowd instantly. They surrounded Huang Liu and his men and beat and kicked them. "I'll make you burn our firewood and beat you to death... You still curse people and threaten people. I'm not afraid of you anymore." …”
Huang Liu was completely stunned. He never imagined that the people who had always been very docile to him would actually rebel today. How did this happen? Has Tanggu's innocence changed?
"Are you going to rebel? How dare you hit people..." Just as he was rolling on the ground, Xiao Letian suddenly noticed a group of black figures coming from the distance. Using his binoculars, he saw that it was the head catcher Zhou Xing and the others.
"Okay, stop fighting. There's nothing to say about following a mangy dog. The arson charge is enough for him. They're all gone... Why are you still kicking, you brat? I'm going to punish you by holding firewood. I didn't watch." The heat of the stew is too low..."
Xiao Letian smiled and drove away the beating villagers, then squatted in the snow and looked at Huang Xiucai, who had a big bump on his head and panda eyes, "Hey, ye, ye, Master Xiucai, your popularity is not very good, even with the fellow villagers. It’s so pitiful that I don’t want to see you!”
"Xiao Letian, don't be arrogant. Others don't know your true identity, but you can't escape the eyes of us scholars. Aren't you a bastard of foreigners? Aren't you just a Westerner who wants the Qing Dynasty to believe in you? You can just dream, forget it. Even if I die, I will bite off a piece of your flesh..."
At this point, Huang Liu really pounced on him like a mad dog. Xiao Letian was so frightened that he quickly shrank back, but he still caught the fur collar at the cuffs.
"Hey, you are a dog? How can you bite someone? How dare you bite someone..." At this moment, the head catcher Zhou Xing finally ran over. When he saw this posture, his eyes widened with anger. This is not bad, Xiao Letian is the benefactor who gives money to everyone, how can he let a mad dog bite him?
"The brave maniac dared to bite someone and take him down..." A group of policemen swarmed up and pressed Huang Liu into the snow like a stack of Arhats, almost breaking his waist.
Amid the chaos, a cotton sedan arrived shortly after, and fellow magistrate Zhou Mingkui from Tanggu also arrived. Mr. Zhou got off the sedan and pointed at Huang Liu's nose against the cold wind and scolded him.
"Sweep the floor politely, sweep the floor politely! You are also a scholar who has read books about saints and sages, how dare you bite someone? Last night, you actually asked the housekeeper to burn the life-saving firewood in someone else's farm. How vicious is your heart? This is your housekeeper's confession, you What else can I say..."
"You are a scholar. I cannot torture you until you are expelled. I have reported what you have done to Tianjin. You can wait for your fate. But as the parent official of Tanggu, I cannot but punish you. …”
"Huang Liu, before the epidemic is over, I will punish you as a volunteer in Xiaowangzhuang to atone for the sins you have committed..."
Huang Xiucai was so stupid now that he sat down on the snow and cried loudly, "Sir, I was wronged, I really was wronged!" i734
