A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

"Be careful!" Lin He'er cried out in alarm as she saw the beggars surrounding Meng Xing at the same time.

Good for you scum, you're going to rob us outright!

Meng Xing roared and tackled one of the beggars to the ground, swinging his fist at him until the beggar screamed in agony.

Then he stopped bothering her and turned to the others.

Lin He'er, carrying the child, led Luan Ge and Shan Zi, and retreated directly from the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

He kept his eyes fixed on the people in front of him, praying that Meng Xing could drive them away!

These beggars are terrifying! They robbed us when we didn't give them money, and now they're even hurting people!

Brother Luan, are they really beggars?

I don't know. I've never seen them in the city before. About two months ago, these people suddenly came to the dilapidated temple and tried to drive us away. I begged them for a long time, and they only allowed us to stay after I brought them food back every day.

They are all bad people; they stole our food and beat us up!

Shanzi, who was standing next to Luan Ge, chimed in angrily.

Lin He'er never expected that these beggars would behave so badly.

Meng Xing was having a lively fight with several beggars when he realized that these people didn't seem like beggars at all. Each of them was extremely ruthless when they attacked him, and when they hit him, they were all fighting desperately.

Although I am physically strong, I can't withstand them occasionally giving me a hard time.

Damn, today it's like a tiger being surrounded by jackals.

We can't delay any longer; the child can't wait.

While thinking to himself, Meng Xing didn't stop. He squatted down and pulled the short knife out from his left leg!

We must draw blood today to subdue these people.

Seeing Meng Xing surrounded by enemies, Lin He'er was extremely anxious.

Just as they were thinking that if all else failed, they would pay money to avoid trouble, they heard a scream. One of the beggars suddenly knelt down on the ground, clutching his arm and howling!

"It's bleeding!" Shanzi cried out in fright.

Lin He'er looked at Meng Xing and was surprised to find that he had a knife hidden on his body. With a sharp blade in his hand, he should be able to deal with these people without any problem!

The scene unfolded exactly as Lin He'er had predicted. Meng Xing took out a short knife and easily dealt with one of the men. Then, with a swift movement, he aimed at the next target, preparing to strike again.

This time, the beggar he had chosen was the one with the scars on his face. This guy was incredibly slippery; after all this time, he had been circling around him the whole time, never getting any closer.

This time, he easily took care of one of them. Before the other could react, he closed in and, in a moment, the scarred beggar couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the leg.

Ah! Another scream rang out as a short knife pierced Brother Jiao's leg, causing blood to gush out immediately. He was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up and collapsed to the ground!

Seeing that he had fallen to the ground, Meng Xing went forward and kicked him again, sending him flying quite a distance.

When the remaining beggars saw that their leader had been injured, they became frightened and all circled around Meng Xing.

Meng Xing didn't stop moving either, and directly defeated them one by one, knocking each person to the ground with a single sword strike!

Apart from Meng Xing, there was no one else standing around!

Madam, don't be afraid, bring the children with you!

Seeing the blood all over the ground, Lin He'er felt that Meng Xing was too violent.

They won't die, will they?

Lin He'er asked Meng Xing in a low voice!

No, the ladies only suffered superficial wounds. Except for the scarred man whose wound was deeper, the others only bled a little and won't die!

Okay, as long as you don't die!

Seeing that Meng Xing was quite confident in his knife skills, Lin He'er didn't ask any more questions.

Madam, you should drive the carriage to take the children to the clinic. I'll stay here and keep an eye on these people. Something's not right with these beggars. I suspect they're not beggars. I'd better keep an eye on them. You tell this boy to go to the yamen to report the case later!

As Meng Xing spoke, he pointed at Brother Luan!

Lin He'er also felt that these people did not look like beggars, so she nodded to Meng Xing, took the children, drove the carriage, and went to the clinic first!

Lin He'er traveled by carriage at breakneck speed, arriving directly at the clinic.

Brother Luan, you go to the county government to report the case, I'll take Little Grape to see a doctor.

Knowing the importance and urgency of the matter, Brother Luan nodded and turned to run towards the yamen!

Doctor, come quickly, this child has a high fever!

Lin He'er carried Little Grape and went straight to the consultation area in front of the hall. She didn't care about cutting in line at this moment, because she was waiting to be saved!

The only option is to break the rules and rush to see a doctor!

The doctor sitting in the clinic, upon hearing that it was a child with a fever, did not blame the woman for not following the rules.

He stood up abruptly, said "Follow me!" and led his men toward the inner room.

Lay the child flat on the bed!

Lin He'er gently placed Xiao Putao on the bed, watched as the doctor took the child's pulse with his little hand, then lifted his eyelids to examine him, before calling out to the waiter outside;

Prepare some medicine to reduce the fever!

After finishing speaking, seeing the family members standing in front of the bed, he continued;

Madam, the child's illness has been delayed for several days, and now he has a high fever. We will give him fever-reducing medicine in a moment. Whether the fever goes down or not depends on the child's fate!

I need to go out to see more patients. You can wait here!

Without giving Lin He'er a chance to ask questions, he left the inner room and returned to the main hall to continue his consultation!

Madam, is there any hope for Little Grape?

Although Shanzi didn't quite understand what the doctor was saying, seeing Lin He'er's complexion, he also felt that Little Grape might not be doing well!

There's hope! There's hope!

Didn't the doctor prescribe medicine? Little Grape will get better after taking the fever reducer!

Seeing the boy beside her on the verge of tears, Lin He'er quickly comforted him.

I didn't dare tell my child. The doctor said we should do our best and leave the rest to fate!

Looking at the little girl on the bed, her face pale with fever, Lin He'er knew that she couldn't just listen to the doctor; she had to do something about it!

Shanzi, you stay here and watch over Little Grape. I'm going out to buy some things. Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon!

Alright, Madam, you go ahead. I'll stay here and watch over Little Grape!

Lin He'er nodded to Shanzi, then turned and left the clinic.

Little Grape's body was too hot. In addition to taking the antipyretic medicine prescribed by the doctor, we also had to use physical methods to cool her down!

Shopkeeper, bring me a jug of your strongest liquor! Lin He'er arrived at the liquor shop and immediately asked for strong liquor!

Alright, madam, please wait a moment!

The shopkeeper took a small gourd from the counter, turned around, took some wine from the large vat behind him, and put it into the gourd!

Thank you for your patronage, five hundred coins!

Wow, this wine is so expensive!

Lin He'er didn't bother to haggle with the shopkeeper anymore. She paid the money, took the items, and ran towards the clinic!

When we arrived at the clinic, we saw the clerk holding a bowl of medicine and skillfully feeding it to Little Grape!

"Madam, you're back!" The servant, having finished feeding the medicine, saw the lady of the house return and thought to himself, "Thank goodness they didn't run away."

When I came in just now, I only saw two children here. I thought the adults couldn't afford medical treatment and had abandoned the children at the clinic!

Unaware of what the waiter was thinking, Lin He'er took a handkerchief from her person, poured the wine from the gourd onto the handkerchief, came to the bedside, and began to wipe Little Grape's face!

Madam, what are you doing?

Don't mess with the child unnecessarily.

When the waiter saw the adults using alcohol to wipe the child's body, he quickly spoke up to stop them!

Don't worry, buddy, this is a family heirloom method for cooling down!

Unable to explain the use of alcohol for cooling to her staff, Lin He'er could only respond with this ancestral saying.

Alright, since it's their family's traditional method, I won't say anything more. After all, the child isn't mine!

The waiter shook his head and left the inner room.

Lin He'er took a handkerchief and kept wiping Xiao Putao's body to cool her down. She did this for half an hour until the wine in the gourd was gone. Then she shook her sore arms and used her hand to check the child's temperature.

It doesn't seem so hot anymore!

Shanzi, touch Little Grape, is it not so hot anymore?

Lin He'er hesitantly let Shanzi touch it too!

Madam, it's really not as hot as it was before!

Shanzi also exclaimed in surprise!

Doctor, doctor, please come and see the child!

Lin He'er went out to call the doctor and asked him to come in and take another look.

The doctor heard someone calling from inside and got up to come in.

He then stepped forward to take the child's pulse and nodded.

The fever has indeed subsided quite a bit. I'll prescribe another dose of medicine and give it to the child later!

The doctor didn't leave immediately after he finished speaking.

He asked Lin He'er with an unnatural expression;

The lady just used wine to wipe the child's body; is this a way to reduce fever?

The doctor had just heard from the waiter that this was a family heirloom method and he shouldn't have asked too many questions. However, as a doctor, he felt that if the clinic could use this method to reduce fever in patients, it might save many lives!

That's why I had the audacity to ask!

Yes, it's a family remedy passed down through generations! It's hard to explain in just one sentence. Once your child is better, I'll write down the detailed method and have my family give it to you!

Lin He'er's arms were sore at the moment, and she was not in the mood to talk to the doctor. She just wanted to wait until the child recovered before writing down the remedy and sending it over!

Thank you, Madam!

The doctor was surprised by the woman's generosity and happily bowed to Lin He'er!

Lin He'er was relieved to see that Xiao Putao's fever had gradually subsided and her face had finally regained some color!

I wonder how Meng Xing is doing over there!
