Chapter 125 – Saving the People Together

A one-meter wide aisle was left in the center directly opposite the warehouse door.

The people in the courthouse had boiled hot water for them, and Wei Ruo had them make extra ginger tea for the crowd to drive away the cold.

Immediately after that, he wrote a prescription for the feverish little girl, and handed it, along with the money for the medicine, to Hong Ping, the magistrate who had just followed her, so that he could go and help to get the medicine.

Wei Ruo specially gave some more silver, let Hong Ping more catch a few stickers back to prepare, these days the wind and rain, may be infected with wind chill more than a little girl.

Xiu Mei rushes to find the Nurse and asks the Nurse to transport some supplies over, there is a shortage of quilts, food, and charcoal.

Wei Ruo instructed Xiu Mei to change herself into clean clothes when she went to the milkmaid’s place, and then come over with the milkmaid.

Xiu Mei worriedly said, “What about you, Miss?”

Wei Ruo: “I’m fine, I’ll talk later.”

Xiu Mei: “But ……”

Wei Ruo interrupted, “Go and return quickly.”

Xiu Mei only agreed, “Good.”

After finishing all this, Wei Ruo had time to ask Wei Jin Yi, “Second brother, why did you come back early?”

“It’s been raining for days, and I have a feeling that something might happen in Xingshan County.” Wei Jin also said.

The rain has been widespread, and it is also falling in the Huzhou Province, but the situation there is much better than in Xingshang County.

Wei Jin also probably guessed that Xing Shan County might also be under and would be in a worse situation because of the lack of innate conditions.

As expected, when he arrived in Hing Sun County he found the situation bad.

He was going to go back to the school captain’s residence first, but he met the subordinate of Wei House who went out to buy supplies, and learned that Wei Ruo had gone out and was not in the house.

He then guessed that Wei Ruo might have come to the south of the city, and came over on the way out of the city to meet the county magistrate escorting the people of the south of the city into the city, and inquired to know that Wei Ruo was still in the south of the city, and then rushed over.

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo’s wet clothes and said, “Follow me.”

Wei Ruo was still a bit puzzled when she was pulled into a side room by Wei Jin Yi.

The room was a utility room with a lot of clutter piled up in it, but there was a clean chair set up with some clothes on it.

Wei Jin also brought Wei Ruo into the room, while he himself went back to the door and closed it behind him, saying to Wei Ruo inside, “You should change your shoes first.”

Wei Ruo looked into the room, which held a pair of newly purchased shoes and socks, as well as a dry towel.

Wei Ruo’s feet were soaked when he was in the fields south of the city, but he was too concerned about taking care of the little girl and resettling the people along the way to care about it.

Wei Ruo’s feet had been soaked in water, and then left alone, even if they didn’t catch a cold, it would be extremely bad for their feet.

Wei Ruo sat down and changed her shoes and socks while talking to Wei Jin Yi outside the door, “When did you get these clean shoes and socks, Second Brother?”

“Let Xiao Bei go buy it.” Wei Jin also leaned his back against the door without looking away.

“Then how do you know what size shoes I wear?” Wei Ruo asked again.

The shoes of a woman from a large family are usually customized by someone who comes to her house, and the average person would not know the size of her shoes.

“Coming back from the south side of town, you had dirt on the soles of your feet and left footprints on the ground.”

“Second brother, so you’re so meticulous!” Wei Ruo praised.

Wei Jin, who was outside the door, also didn’t answer, but instead instructed, “After you change, if there’s nothing on this side, you’ll depart back to the mansion first, and you’ll need to take a hot bath before changing your clothes.”

“If you’re going back, why are you going to so much trouble to let me change my shoes first?” Wei Ruo asked.

“It’s better to change it earlier.” Wei Jin also replied.

“Second Brother, are you afraid that my feet will give out from the cold?” Wei Ruo laughed.

There was another silence.

Well, the answer is yes, it’s just that Ernie won’t admit it himself.

After changing her shoes, Wei Ruo took the used shoes and socks away in a cloth bag prepared in advance next to her.

Even thinking of that, Ergo is really attentive.

After going out, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jin also, “Let’s go, let’s go back to the mansion, not only me, you should also take a hot bath and change your clothes, body is the capital, if you want to save people, you have to take care of your own body first.”

“Don’t you have things to do?”

“The supplies won’t be delivered for a while, and the medicine will be grabbed later, so I’ll just have to wait here, so I might as well go back and pick myself up first.”

Wei Jin also nodded, as long as Wei Ruo had no concerns, he had no problem with it.

So Wei Jin also sent Wei Ruo back to the school captain’s residence.

Wei Jin Yi sent Wei Ruo to the entrance of Listening Pine Court and then stopped walking. Although Wei Ruo had run into his courtyard and even his bedroom many times, Wei Jin Yi had always observed the etiquette and did not enter Wei Ruo’s courtyard easily.

After watching Wei Ruo enter the house at the courtyard entrance, Wei Jin also went back to his own compound to change his clothes and shoes.

In the room of Listening Pine Court, Wei Ruo didn’t have time to have someone prepare a large amount of hot water for himself to bathe and bathe, in order to save time, Wei Ruo wiped himself with hot water and then changed into a clean outfit.

Opening his regular medicine kit again, he selected some medications from a bunch of bottles and jars to take with him.

The people who were transferred to the Yamen warehouse today may not only be the little girl, but others may also be at risk of contracting wind-cold or other illnesses, so these commonly used medicines should be brought along in case they are needed.

And then Wei Ruo rejoined Wei Jin, ready to go out again.

Just as the two of them were about to go out, Yun, accompanied by her maid Cui Ping, arrived at the entrance of Listening Pine Court and intercepted Wei Ruo, who was preparing to go out again.

“Ruo’er, you’re not allowed to go out anymore.” Yun’s expression was serious.

“I have something important to do.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Even if it’s important, you can’t run around all day. Your second brother is a man, he can walk around, you can’t.”

Wei Ruo explained, “I’m not running around, I’ve gone to transfer and settle the people in the south of the city, nowadays with this weather, leaving the people in the south of the city unattended, they will starve and freeze to death.”

“The people in the south of the city have their own officials to control, you, a lady of the house, mixing with them all day long is not good for your reputation.” Yun persuaded.

“I don’t feel that I’m doing anything bad, I’m walking the talk and I’m being honorable outside. Manners and etiquette are used in normal times, now it’s a special time, countless people are suffering, any rules of manners and etiquette should give way in front of a natural disaster.” Wei Ruo firmly stated his point of view.

“Just because you think so doesn’t mean others will, and when the rain clears, what you’re doing today will be considered out of character and cause offense.”

“Then I won’t regret it when the time comes.” Wei Ruo’s gaze was firm and unwavering.

Yun frowned, “Why are you such a disobedient child? Mother is doing this for your own good, worried about you, afraid of the eventuality that it will affect you ……”

At this time, Wei Jin also spoke up, “I’m sure that father, who is in the process of rescuing the people from the fire, will very much agree with what the eldest sister is doing.”
