The children begged, but the shopkeeper became more and more irritable. Finally, he was so angry that he raised his legs to kick the two children.

Just as he rushed over, his body was grabbed by someone.

At the same time, the two children who were almost kicked were hugged from behind.

The children were shocked by this turn of events and stopped talking.He stared blankly at the person in front of him.

The one who took action was naturally Jiang Anrao and his party.

Jiang Anrao took the child away, and Guo Zhan and others stopped the medicine shop owner.

"They're just children. If you don't want to sell them, you won't sell them. If you don't want to buy them on credit, you won't buy them on credit. Why bother? Since it's a drug store, it should be willing to save lives and heal the wounded."

Jiang Anrao took a look and saw that the two children were relatively thin and a little dirty, but not injured. Then he stood up and said a few words to the shopkeeper.

"Ha! It's a joke. If all the medicinal materials in my shop are used to save lives and heal the wounded, then what will I eat and drink? Will the sky drop food for me?
Go, go, go, how I act has nothing to do with you!Hurry up and go your way! "

Jiang Anrao and others took their packages with them because they were on their way, so they inevitably had some miscellaneous things.The drug store manager had a very good look and waved them away.

Then he ignored them and turned back to the house.

Jiang Anrao was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to look at the two children.

"Is someone in your family sick?"

The two children stared at her, seeing that she was always cheerful and smiling, so they nodded.

There was a child who was quite clever. His knees weakened and he knelt on the ground. He opened his mouth to beg for help. He first thanked Jiang Anrao for saving his life just now, and then begged her to save his life.

"My brother at home is ill. He has a high fever and is weak. He only regains consciousness occasionally. If he doesn't have medicine, he may die! My dear friend, please save our brother!"

When one child said this, the other one responded quickly and followed suit immediately.

Jiang Anrao was pestered by the two children with all kinds of requests.

Originally, Jiang Anrao and others planned to spend only one day in Gaotang and then go to Jucheng by land.But now seeing these two children asking for help very persistently, Jiang Anrao thought about it and decided that since he had encountered them, he might as well help.

"Guo Zhan, take the people to find a place to stay at the inn first. I'll go with these two children to have a look."

"I'm with you." Wang Yun said from the side.Guo Zhan hesitated, but still agreed.

Jiang Anrao nodded.Then he asked the two children where their brother was.

She initially thought that these two children also lived in Gaotang City, but after asking, she found out that they lived in a village more than 30 miles away from Gaotang.

Jiang Anrao lowered his head and looked at the bare feet of the two children. It was hard to imagine that these two children had come all the way from thirty miles away barefoot in such weather!
"Why are you the ones who come out to ask for medicine? What about the adults in your family?"

"My eldest brother has been out for two days and hasn't come back yet, but my brother's illness has become more serious. We were afraid that if we waited any longer, he would die of illness! So we went out before dawn.

"Do you have a prescription?" Seeing the children shaking their heads, "Without a prescription and no doctor to diagnose it, how can we diagnose the disease and prescribe medicine?"

"We have no money, so we can only ask people to give us some medicine on credit. We don't know what the disease is, nor what the prescription is..."

"Okay, then why don't you take me home? I'll help you take a look." The child's eyes lit up and he looked at Jiang Anrao:
"My benefactor is actually a doctor!"

After asking, he nodded quickly!As he said this, he was about to take Jiang Anrao home.

But another child stopped him and emphasized to Jiang Anrao with some embarrassment that they really had no money at all and had nothing of value at home.

Jiang Anrao smiled and said he didn't want their money. The two children looked at each other and couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to them. However, in the end, their eagerness to save people prevailed and they agreed to take Jiang Anrao home. .

But they did not take Jiang Anrao out of the city immediately. Instead, they led Jiang Anrao and Wang Yun around the city twice.

"Six of us came out together. They went to other pharmacies to try to get medicine on credit. I found Dr. Engong and had to ask them to come together. My brother said that we should come out together and we must go back together."

Jiang Anrao nodded, thinking that the elder brother of these children was also a careful person.

After walking around for a few times, the two children finally found the six people who came with them.Don’t say that businessmen are all hard-hearted.There were actually two children who got two medicines on credit from a drug store.

The children were very happy when they heard that they had found a doctor and were willing to go to their brother's home to treat their brother for free. They immediately took Jiang Anrao and the two of them out of the city to where they lived.

Along the way, Jiang Anrao found out that the place where they lived was said to be called Luguan Village. The children were all from poor backgrounds. Although they called each other brothers, no matter it was the eldest brother or the sick brother, , are not their biological brothers.They are not even from the same family.

These children are considered war orphans in Luguan Village.

Before the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, King Min of Qi went to war. Almost all adult men and boys over 15 years old went to the battlefield. After the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, all children over 12 years old also went to the battlefield.In the end, the old men and women were also forcibly rushed to the battlefield.

This has left many families with only the elderly who cannot hold weapons or whose hands and feet are inflexible, or the young children who are crying for food.

And after a few years, although Le Yi implemented various benevolent policies in Linzi, in the small villages outside the towns, the labor of every household was drained, and only the old people cultivated the land, and no one could even cultivate it. .

Most of the remaining old people who were incompetent or too old have not survived these five years due to the multiple blows to their hearts and bodies.

Therefore, many villages in Qi State are now like ghost villages day and night, with either no one or only a few children left who are still struggling to survive.

The six children Jiang Anrao met were all orphans who had lost their parents and elders, and the brother and eldest brother they mentioned were also in exile. Seeing how pitiful they were, they finally couldn't bear to leave them alone.

Jiang Anrao and Wang Yun followed a few children towards Luguan Village. When the village was in sight, they saw several small figures at the entrance of the village.

I saw several children from a distance, and they all ran over.

"Xuan! Hao! You are back!"

The fastest runner rushed over and grabbed the two children Jiang Anrao met first, then looked at Jiang Anrao and Wang Yun, and said excitedly, "Have you invited a doctor?"

After being rescued by Jiang Anrao, the older child named Xuan nodded happily:
"These two benefactors were kind-hearted. They saw that I was about to be beaten by the medicine shop owner, so they saved me! They also agreed to come to see my brother for free without taking any money!"

The children who came to ask questions were very happy when they heard this. They jumped up and shouted thank you for their benefactor.

And he turned around and ran inside first, shouting:

"Brother is saved! A doctor is here to save me!"
