Chapter 622: Rescue
"But before that, I have to go to your house with you to check on your brother's condition."
After these words were spoken, Gu Hao’s mouth became so big that an egg could fit in it.
He took a look at the refined rice in the bag, his face full of disbelief.
Such good rice is only sold for ten cents per pound. Is he dreaming?
It is no exaggeration to say that the fine rice sold by the owner of this rice shop is not at all comparable to the rice given by Ji Yuntang.
Gu Hao felt that he must be dreaming and had not yet woken up. He stretched out his hand and twisted his leg, and the pain made him grimace in pain.
Only then did he become certain that he was not dreaming and that he had really met someone who could help him.
He was excited and wanted to kneel down to Ji Yuntang again, but she held him back.
"No need to thank us. Sister Mi didn't give you these rice for free."
"After you eat, you just need to help us promote it in this city so that the people will come to us to buy rice tomorrow."
Ji Yuntang had a purpose for doing this.
On the one hand, she didn't want Gu Hao to have any psychological burden.
On the other hand, the way to attract the attention of Jiang Wangbei, the lord of Liangzhoukou City, was to lower the price of rice.
As far as she knew, these exiled criminals were imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion and were only released to work during the day.
Therefore, she had to find a way to get into the City Lord's Mansion.
The reason why Ji Yuntang said he was here to do business was that he wanted to help the local people.
When in the capital, in order to prevent any major changes in the situation, Ji Yuntang asked Wang Sheng to use all the money earned from Wanzhuanglou to buy rice, flour, grain, oil and charcoal, just in case of any emergency in the future.
A small portion of these supplies were placed in the warehouse of the Night King's Mansion, and the rest were stored in her space.
Facts have proved that Ji Yuntang's approach was correct. Today, natural disasters and man-made disasters are increasing, and no one can guarantee what they will encounter in the future.
The situation in Dongchen Kingdom is becoming increasingly unstable. If Luo Junhe wants to take revenge, he will definitely need military supplies and food.
With food, he could solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers, and he would also feel more confident.
Now, Ji Yuntang only needs to take out one tenth of the food in the space to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in Liangzhoukou. Why not do it?
Gu Hao looked at her and Luo Junhe, his dark eyes sparkling.
"Brother and sister, you are really good people. Don't worry, I will definitely help you promote it and let the people in the city take care of your business."
Ji Yuntang reached out and touched his head, "Okay, sister will wait for Xiaohao to help her with publicity."
After saying this, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe followed Gu Hao to his home.
It was an old thatched hut. The paper on the windows was already in tatters and the cold wind seemed like it could fill the room at any time.
When I opened the door, I saw a few broken pieces of furniture in the room, all tilted and tilted.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe followed Gu Hao and heard him shouting into the house: "Mom, I'm back. I brought the rice back."
At this time, a woman came out of the house. She had an old face, slightly gray temples, and was wearing patched clothes. She limped out with a cane in her right hand.
When she saw Gu Hao, the woman's eyes instantly turned red.
"I asked you to buy rice, but why did you take so long to come back? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
The old woman first checked Gu Hao's body and found that he was not injured. Then she took the bag of rice from his hand.
The moment she saw the refined rice, she was so frightened that she picked up the cane in her hand and was about to hit Gu Hao.
"Where did you get this refined rice? Did you steal it?"
"Mom told you a long time ago not to do anything sneaky like that, but you didn't listen to me, did you?"
Gu Hao ran outside while explaining, "Mom, I didn't steal it. I met my two brothers and sisters, and they sold the rice to me."
"I brought them here too. If you don't believe me, ask them."
On the way here, Gu Hao was afraid that he would be scolded by his mother if she knew that he got so much rice for free, so Ji Yuntang taught him to say this.
The woman then noticed Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe. She saw that they looked ordinary, but exuded a very extraordinary temperament, and her face turned pale with fright.
"Who are you and what are you doing in our house?"
Seeing her nervous expression, Ji Yuntang quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. We are merchants from other places who come here to do business. The refined rice that Xiaohao just bought was from us."
The woman became suspicious and her expression became more serious.
"He only has a few coins in his hand, how can he afford such fine rice? Are you guys trying to trick me?"
Ji Yuntang smiled and said, "Of course not, what Xiaohao said is true."
"If you don't believe me, we will sell grain in the city of Liangzhoukou tomorrow, and you will know once you ask around."
The woman looked at them, still half believing and half doubting.
At this time, Gu Hao also ran over and said: "Mom, it's all true, I didn't lie to you, this sister is a doctor, she said she can help my brother with his illness."
"Mom, my brother's body won't hold up if he doesn't get treated. Please trust this sister for once and let her go in and help him. What if she can really cure him?"
Gu Hao said this while hugging the woman's arm and acting coquettishly.
Finally, the woman softened her heart and sighed.
"Then please help my son, girl. I don't know what happened to him just now. A lot of blood came out of his lower body and he is now unconscious."
This description made Ji Yuntang's expression become solemn.
As far as she knew, there was only one disease that could cause blood in the urine, besides urinary tract infection and kidney disease.
That's dysentery.
This is a disease caused by bacteria invading the intestines and is contagious to a certain extent.
Usually, these symptoms are caused by patients drinking water infected with bacteria or eating unclean food.
In ancient times, this disease was undoubtedly incurable.
If the condition is not alleviated, life may be lost.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang immediately turned back to the carriage and took out his medicine box.
Since Gu Hao's home was too far away, Luo Junhe even rented a horse carriage. Now he just happened to be Ji Yuntang's cover-up assistant.
With the cover of the carriage, she took out the things she needed from the space one by one, and then took out alcohol for disinfection.
After doing these things, she pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Lying on the bed was a young man about twenty years old. His face was red due to high fever, his eye sockets were sunken and dark, and he had lost consciousness.
