章 37: Chapter 37
After she finished speaking, Li Xinyue quickly brought yesterday's picked herbs and then lit a fire to decoct the medicine.
In less than half an hour, the herbs were decocted.
The officers took the initiative to come over to take the medicine but were stopped by Li Xinyue.
"Master Peng said, let me pick some people I like to treat."
Zhou Lao Ba also heard the two men's conversation just now, knowing that this was indeed the boss's intention.
"Okay, we'll help you carry it and give it to whoever you say."
Li Xinyue walked in front, first coming to the Fang family's position.
Mrs Zhao saw her coming over as if she had seen a saviour.
"Ms. He, I thank you for my whole family."
Li Xinyue nodded to her and then arranged for the officers to distribute the medicine.
This time, Fang Chuanzhou did not escape, but the symptoms were not very serious, just feeling a little dizzy and nauseous.
Li Xinyue let the officers give him a bowl of medicine and whispered.
"Uncle Fang, remember to come to my husband at night."
Fang Chuanzhou, holding the medicine bowl: "Okay, I must go."
Li Xinyue also let the officers give medicine to several other heatstroke patients in the Fang family before heading towards the Li and Li families.
Although the Li and Li families were hostile to Qin, they did not dare to show it now.
They were still waiting for the lifesaving herbs.
Li Xinyue looked around. These people's symptoms were not very serious; some even deliberately lay there groaning.
It is estimated that they want to stop on the road.
She did not expose them on the spot. She selected a few elderly and young children and let the officers give them medicine.
As for the others, she chose to ignore them directly.
Just as she was about to leave with the remaining bit of medicine, she heard He Rou'er scolding loudly from behind.
"Li Xinyue, you are inhuman for refusing to save lives. Qin Yichen married a daughter-in-law like you. It's bad luck for eight lifetimes."
There was no such thing as not talking back in front of Li Xinyue.
Just as she was about to curse back, she suddenly heard a crisp whip crack and He Rou'er's scream.
Zhang Qing was best at wielding the whip, moving quickly and fiercely.
"Shut up for me. No wonder Ms. He is unwilling to treat you. If it were me, I wouldn't save you either."
This whip just happened to hit He Rou'er's right arm and also hit her exposed neck.
He Rou'er clutched her neck, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Officer, this is unfair. Li Xinyue didn't give us medicine to eat. Not only did you not scold her, but you even hit me for speaking fairly?"
Zhang Qing was even amused by He Rou'er's words while fiercely whipping her again.
"I just don't like you. I'll beat you to death."
Seeing that He Rou'er had offended the officers again, Zhu immediately pulled her aside.
"Officer, my young lady is ignorant. Please spare her this time!"
As Zhu spoke, she had already kowtowed to Zhang Qing several times.
Seeing this, Zhang Qing's anger subsided a lot.
"Keep her uncontrollable mouth shut from now on. If I hear her talking nonsense again, it won't be as simple as two whips."
He Rou'er was also extremely angry just now, which led her to speak recklessly in front of the officers.
Now that she had calmed down, she became afraid.
However, her hatred for Li Xinyue was even more robust.
She knelt behind Zhu and sobbed softly while plotting how to make the exile journey more comfortable.
Li Liang felt a headache when he saw his usually most sensible daughter become like this.
Fortunately, Zhu was sensible and apologised in time.
Otherwise, with these officers' temperaments, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not make things difficult for their Li family on the road.
Seeing the officers and Li Xinyue walking away, Li Liang glared fiercely at He Rou'er.
"From now on, be mute in front of outsiders."
"Dad..." He Rou'er looked at Li Liang aggrievedly, wanting to explain something, but the latter stopped him.
"Shut up now."
He Rou'er immediately fell silent and continued to wipe away tears in Zhu's arms.
Li Xinyue looked at the remaining medicine soup in the iron pot and distributed it to all members of the Fang family who were not suffering from heat stroke. It could play a preventive role.
She wanted these people to see that offending the Qin had no benefits.
She would instead give the remaining medicine to those not suffering from heatstroke to take and not give it to these enemies.
After more than two hours of travel, the convoy finally entered Yunlai County before dark.
The officers seemed very familiar with this place. After entering the city, they went straight to an inn in the west.
Seeing the inn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Heaven knows how they survived the night camping in the wilderness last night.
In addition to the cold and damp, they also had to guard against mosquito bites occasionally.
When they woke in the morning, dew was on their faces and clothes.
Today was different. They could rest well for a night at the inn.
Especially those family members who were suffering from heat stroke. Although they had recovered a lot after taking Li Xinyue's medicine, they were still weak.
Being able to rest well would speed up their recovery.
Zhou Lao Ba looked at everyone.
"Those who want to stay in a 10-person dormitory, one tael of silver; a room for two, five taels of silver; those without silver can spend the night in the hut in the inn yard."
Hearing this, Li Xinyue was immediately filled with contempt. Such prices were intended to fleece them.
However, on second thought, she let it go. These officers all relied on fleecing to get rich. How could they miss such an opportunity?
The other families let out sighs of dismay.
"Officer, we don't have any silver!"
"Yeah, officer, please take pity on us, and don't let us stay outside!"
"Officer, please do us a favour. It would be fine even if you let us stay in a room for twenty minutes."
Zhou Lao Ba waved his hand impatiently.
"Stop chattering. Those with silver hand it over now. Those without silver will sleep in the grass sheds outside."
The third daughter-in-law immediately took out some broken silver and approached Old Lady Qin and Li Xinyue.
"Mother, sister-in-law, there are twelve of us in total. I want to get a ten-person room and a two-person room. What do you think?"
Old Lady Qin was delighted with her daughter-in-law's arrangement.
"Hmm, that's great. Let Yichen and Xinyue go to the two-person room. I will stay with your sisters-in-law and Han Yue in the ten-person room."
