The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 215

[Chapter 215: Applying Medicine is also a Difficult Task]

For Xu Wenxuan’s sake, the officer was kind to Lin Tian and gave him a brief explanation.

After that, he glanced at the refugees who wanted to sneak in and glared at them fiercely.

The refugees thought they could avoid being beaten and sneak away, but they didn’t expect the officer to turn around and glare at them.

They had all been beaten by these officers, so they were frightened all of a sudden. The little girl’s eyes were even more shrunken, hiding in her mother’s arms and not daring to look up.

“Okay, okay, it’s not a big deal, let them in!”

Lin Tian waved his hand, seeing that these people were really pitiful. They were outside the city every day and could only sleep by the city wall.

“This… Mr. Lin, please don’t embarrass us. There is an order from above, and we can only do things according to the rules.”

When the officer heard that Lin Tian wanted to let these refugees in, he immediately said with an embarrassed look.

If they let one in, what would they do if the refugees made trouble later?

Moreover, the higher-ups had issued a death order that no one must be allowed in. If they were discovered, he would lose his life!

“Can’t you make any compromise? What’s going on?”

Lin Tian frowned. The sudden appearance of so many refugees must be unusual.

But they didn’t receive any news in the capital, and even Xu Wenxuan didn’t have any news!

There was only one reason, that it was deliberately blocked!

“It is said that the mountain to the south had a flood after heavy rain a few days ago. All the houses collapsed and the crops were harvested. Didn’t those people run to our Ningjiang City?”

The officer’s eyes rolled around, as if he was considering whether to tell Lin Tian.

But according to Mr. Xu’s ability, it would be sooner or later to find out about this, so he might as well do a favor.

“It’s really a flood!”

Lin Tian was really shocked. He didn’t expect that the thing he least wanted to happen really happened.

“Then why are all these refugees sick? I see that although they are pale and thin, they don’t look sick!”

Lin Tian asked again, looking out of the wide-open city gate. Although the refugees were ragged and looked bad, they were full of energy in their eyes and didn’t look sick at all.

“That’s what the superiors said. It’s hard for us to do it. Master Lin, please don’t make it difficult for us. Go and do your work!”

The officer said weakly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Lin Tian knew that they were just doing things for others, so he didn’t ask any more questions and asked Lin Kang and others to accompany him out.

Not long after walking out of the city gate, he saw a group of people in front of him making a lot of noise and forming a circle.

“What are they doing in front of them? Why are there so many people gathered together? They look like they are going to fight!”

Lin Kang said strangely when he saw the group of people gathered together in front.

However, at this time, Lin Tian was lost in thought because of what the officer said just now. If Lin Kang hadn’t pulled him, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

“Let’s go to the front and take a look!”

Lin Tian looked up and said, but he was still a little absent-minded.

Several people walked over there, only to see the refugees scrambling to surround a small table in the middle, and surrounded by a young girl.

“Please make way, everyone has a share, everyone has a share, don’t be anxious, take your time!”

The woman said loudly, but the refugees didn’t listen to her at all and rushed forward to grab, even the pot where she boiled medicine was overturned.

“Ah!”

The boiling medicine in the pot was poured out, splashing a few drops on the back of her white hand, and soon a few small red spots were burned.

“Everyone calm down, everyone will have a share!”

The woman was obviously a little angry, and her voice was a little loud, but it was a pity that the refugees turned a deaf ear.

While the woman was healing the burn on her hand, she asked them to grab all the packed herbs in his backpack.

“If you are afraid of suffering, don’t come out to be a good person!”

said a passerby, glancing at the woman with some disdain.

The woman’s face changed for a moment, as if she was a little disappointed, but she soon calmed down again.

Several refugees rushed over to grab the backpack on its back, and when they were about to walk away with the backpack, they were blocked by another hand.

“You, who are you? What are you doing?”

The refugee who looked a little sturdy stared at Lin Tian.

That’s right, it was Lin Tian who blocked their way.

“Put down what you have in your hand!”

Lin Tian said expressionlessly, and behind him were Lin Kang and Lei Dian, two tall and strong men, who looked very imposing at first glance.

“It’s not yours, this, what does this have to do with you? I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business!”

The refugee looked at the fierce Lei Dian and Lin Kang behind him, and suddenly became a little timid, but still said with courage, holding the backpack tightly.

“This is not yours either.”

Lin Jian pinched his wrist without any hesitation, and the man felt pain in his hand and quickly put it down.

Lin Tian also took the opportunity to take back the backpack in his arms and gave it back to the woman.

The other stolen herbs and the small pots for boiling medicine were also taken back by Song Zijie and Xu Wenxuan one by one.

“Thank you!”

The woman had already treated the burns on her hands. She looked up at Lin Tian and the others and thanked them.

“Everyone wait a moment, these are just soups for strengthening the body. Even if you rob them, they are of no great use. When I boil them, you can come and drink them!”

The woman said with a cold face. She was not like those people who did good deeds, all with kind faces, but with a calm face.

As she spoke, she started to boil the medicine. Soon a large pot of soup was boiled. After it cooled down a little, she prepared for people to drink it.

It was a pity that those people did not line up in an orderly manner as she said, but returned to their previous state and rushed to grab it together.

“Stand still, don’t move!”

Seeing that the scene was about to get chaotic again, Lin Tian raised his eyebrows and shouted sternly.

Perhaps because Lin Tian’s aura was too overwhelming, those people were frightened by him and stood still and dared not move.

“How can you be so cruel when doing good deeds? Aren’t these medicines meant for us to drink?!”

said a middle-aged man with a somewhat ferocious face. He greedily picked up the basin of medicine and was about to leave.

Unfortunately, before he took half a step, he was chopped by Lin Tian with a knife.

“You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
