Everyone immediately became alert. Even Lu Yaoyao stopped looking at the ants. She straightened her back and stared straight ahead.

"What happened in front?"

Yang Liuqing frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is it that the Imperial Guards are back again?"

Lu Hu looked ahead and said solemnly, "I didn't hear any horse hoof sounds, so it's probably not the case."

"Could it be that someone left again?" Yang Liuqing sighed.

"It seems like the victims are fighting each other."

"seems not!"

Lu Qingqing listened carefully and did not hear any screams, which meant that they were not fighting.

Just as she was wondering whether to go over and take a look, a faint fire suddenly appeared in front of her.

There was someone holding an oil lamp and walking around, stopping and starting, as if asking the victims questions?

What is so important that it can’t wait until tomorrow?

After about a cup of tea, the person holding the oil lamp came to the front.

At this time, Lu Qingqing also saw clearly that the person holding the oil lamp was an old lady over 50 years old. On the left side of the old lady, a middle-aged man with a very cold expression was supporting her.

Under the light of the oil lamp, the old lady's face looked very weathered, and her silver hair was glowing white!

There were still some elderly people in the team. Lu Qingqing took a closer look, but she didn’t know who this old lady was.

As I got closer, I heard the old lady's choked voice asking a woman:

"Old Hu, do you still have any golden healing oil? Can you sell me some for two taels of silver?"

It turned out that he was buying medicinal oil for healing wounds, and he was willing to spend two taels of silver!

Rich family!

Before the famine, two taels of silver were enough to cover the living expenses of a family of six for half a year.

Golden Injury Medicinal Oil is not expensive to buy normally, only two hundred coins for a bottle. The old lady was willing to spend two taels of silver, which was already a sky-high price.

However, the woman waved her hand without even raising her head: "I don't have any gold wound medicine oil."

The old lady sighed deeply and looked at the man holding a child next door.

The man raised his head and shook his head, "Grandma Mu, don't you see how well off my family is? How could I possibly have those things?"

When Yang Liuqing heard the man call the old lady "Mu Po Po", she immediately thought of who this person was?

She whispered, “This old lady is Mu Yanshi’s mother!”

She had spoken to the old lady several times, but they were not familiar with each other!

Mu Yanshi was whipped by the Imperial Guards, and his mother went around looking for the victims to ask if they had any golden healing oil.

Between the lightning and the fire, what did Lu Qingqing immediately think of?

It was estimated that Mu Yanshi's whipping wounds were very serious, so serious that he was about to die.

So, I went out myself to get medicine for him.

The Lu family practiced martial arts, and golden healing oil was always on hand.

However, Lu Qingqing didn't have any on her, but Second Aunt did have a bottle.

Under the current circumstances, Jinchuang Medicinal Oil has already been sold out in the market.

It is hard to buy it even if you have money. The bottle in Second Aunt's hand is extremely precious. The more you use it, the less it will be.

It's impossible to sell it.

deliver?

Not only is there no door, there isn't even a window!

After asking so many people, no one had any medicine, so her son Mu Yandu quickly persuaded his mother to go back.

"Mom, let's go back. The villagers may really have no medicine."

"No, someone must have it. I'll go ask a few more."

"You can ask more companies and they will give the same answer. Don't you see what the situation is like now? Even if they have the medicine, they won't sell it to you!"

Old Lady Mu was very stubborn: "Then I will offer five taels of silver, and there will definitely be someone willing to sell it."

Mu Yandu looked at his mother as if she were a stranger:

"Mom, five taels of silver is all our belongings, and you used it all to buy medicine. How can my brother and I, two families of eight, survive?"

Whether he is alive or dead, Old Lady Mu doesn’t care.

Anyway, in her eyes, the life and death of her youngest son is more important than eight people.

Old Lady Mu said lightly: "If you lose money, you can still earn it later!"

"Where are you going to earn it? Mother, are you going to earn it?"

She is already old, of course it is impossible for her to go out and earn money, otherwise how would she save face if the news got out?

Old Lady Mu said forcefully, "If you don't buy the medicinal oil tonight, something will happen to your brother. Do you want him to be in trouble so you can be happy?"

"That's his own fate, no one else can be blamed!"

"You!" Old Lady Mu was so angry that her chest choked: "Rebellious son, he is your own brother!"

Mu Yandu lowered his head and stopped talking.

In his heart, he has never had such a heartless brother, who is lazy and loves gambling. When he has no money, he cheats and even steals from home.

It would be better if he died, so that my family wouldn't have to be held down by him and sucked blood no longer.

Seeing that her second son looked angry, Old Lady Mu also became angry and walked towards the next family, which was Lu Qingqing's family.

When Old Lady Mu saw that it was their family, her eyes suddenly turned red and she looked as if she had seen a savior.

She quickly stepped forward and held Yang Liuqing's hand, and said excitedly: "I almost forgot about your family, Liuqing, you must have golden wound medicine oil, right? Sell me some, no matter how much you want, I will buy it!"

Yang Liuqing never liked strangers approaching her. She pushed away Old Lady Mu's hand without leaving a trace and said in a cold voice:

"We don't have this medicine at home!"

"Impossible, your family practices martial arts, so they must have this medicine!"

"That was in the past. I'm not prepared for it now!" Yang Liuqing said in a calm tone.

Old Lady Mu didn't believe it. Seeing Yang Liuqing's cold tone, she looked at Lu Qingqing who was silent on the side and pleaded:

"Girls, please be kind and sell some to me. We will work like slaves to repay you for your kindness."

Lu Qingqing suddenly laughed: "Old man, please don't talk nonsense. I never want to be a good person. A bad person is suitable for me."

Old Lady Mu didn't expect that a little girl could be so difficult to talk to. Seeing that they were not moved by any soft or hard words, she wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Mu Yandu.

"Mom, can you please stop doing this? They've already said there's no more, do you really have to force it?"

Old Mrs. Mu didn't listen to her son's advice. She looked at Yang Liuqing and then at Lu Qingqing.

Then he took out two taels of silver from his pocket, and knelt down with a thump.

The sound scared Lu Qingqing so much that she was afraid her legs would be broken and she would have to blackmail them!

Old Mrs. Mu had never knelt before anyone in her life. She knelt too hard just now and her scalp was throbbing with pain!

But thinking of her little son who was waiting for the medicine oil to save his life, Old Lady Mu ignored the pain in her knees and looked at them begging:

"I'm kneeling down to beg you, please sell me some. I'm not stealing from you, I'm just buying. Please just sell me some. My son is waiting for it to save his life. How can you be so heartless and not help him?"

Yang Liuqing was furious when she saw this. She didn't expect that old lady Mu would kneel down so shamelessly.

Fortunately, she dodged quickly, otherwise, if she had been kneeled by Old Lady Mu, her life would have been shortened!

Bah, bah, bah, Yang Liuqing quickly spat a few times in his heart.

However, seeing that Old Lady Mu was determined not to get up unless she sold the medicine, Yang Liuqing was at a loss for a moment!

At this time, Lu Qingqing suddenly took Yaoyao's hand and said to Yang Liuqing:

"Second Aunt, let's go to bed. We are a family of stone-hearted people. We don't want to deal with such a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, if we get stuck by accident, we won't be able to pull it off. It's unlucky."

Lu Qingqing particularly disliked people who took advantage of their age and seniority. If it weren't for the other person's age, she would have beaten him out with a broom.

What Lu Qingqing said was exactly what Yang Liuqing wanted to say.

She quickly picked up Yaoyao and walked behind the big tree.

"Let's go and have some rest. It's really unlucky to force a cow to drink water these days."

Lu Qingqing followed and said, "Second Aunt, we have to move to another place and not rest here."
