Outside the north gate of Songjiang City, most of the victims who came from Shandong gathered here. Originally, when the victims first arrived, the city did not respond. Only some of the victims who came earlier could enter the city. However, these things were discovered in the city.
After the victims were dispatched, soldiers were immediately sent to guard the city gates and prohibit the victims from entering the city. As a result, within a few days, tens of thousands of victims were already blocked here.
These victims, who brought their families with them, came from far away, and were treated with indifference and contempt along the way. Many state capitals did not allow them to enter the city, so they have long been accustomed to this situation of being shut out.
, and even behaved very calmly, or in other words, numb. There was no scene of loud begging like that seen on TV in later generations. Instead, they gathered in small groups, then cut down trees outside the city and lit bonfires.
Unwrap your tattered quilt by the campfire and huddle with family or friends to spend the cold night.
Songjiang Prefecture is already the last stop for these victims, because to the south is the Yangtze River, and they cannot jump over this natural barrier with their legs alone. So now there are only two roads left in front of the victims, either
Either survive in Songjiang Mansion or starve to death here.
It can be said that these victims were lucky. Although Xu Shenzhong's father was not an upright official, he was also a rare good official. With his full support, Songjiang Mansion quickly made the decision to provide porridge for disaster relief.
A porridge shed was set up outside the city, and porridge was served twice a day in the morning and evening. Although the rice porridge did not contain much rice, it could meet the most basic survival needs of the victims.
As the soup kitchen progressed, the victims outside the city finally had hope, and smiles appeared on their originally numb faces. Some even began to set up wooden sheds outside the city as a temporary residence for their families. Although
This kind of wooden shed is ventilated from all sides, but it is much warmer than sleeping in the open air. The first one was followed by the second. Almost overnight, a camp for victims of the disaster sprang up outside the north gate of Songjiang Prefecture.
It’s just that there is no plan for this refugee camp. In addition to wood and thatch, the construction materials also include various rags, broken boards, etc. I don’t know where they got them? In this way,
The entire refugee camp looks messy, and security is also a big problem. Thefts and robberies often occur. When young women are alone, it is even more dangerous. Sometimes vicious cases of murder occur.
However, these victims are not under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture in the first place, and Xu Zhifu has turned his hair gray from worry about preparing food. He has no energy to manage the security aspects of the camp for the victims. At most, the impact of killing people will be too great.
Only when bad things happen, the yamen will send someone to take care of it. It would be best if the murderer can be found, but if he can't find it, he can only leave it alone.
Every morning at Chenshi, it is the time for the government to give out porridge. The victims lined up early. There are six porridge shacks in total. There is a long queue in front of each porridge shack, and the queues are very neatly arranged without any quarrels.
This is not because the quality of the victims is high, but because the government has strict orders. Anyone who dares to make a noise while serving porridge will be expelled from the team immediately and will not be able to receive porridge for two days.
Each of the victims in the queue held a piece of paper in their hands. This was the identity document issued by the government clerk when they queued up to receive porridge on the first day. On it was written the victim's name, gender, appearance, etc., as well as
The purpose of providing information on which porridge shed to receive porridge is mainly to avoid people receiving porridge repeatedly or pretending to receive it.
However, the situation today is a little different. Next to the six porridge sheds, another shed was built. There was no big pot in it, but there were big bags one after another. It was unknown what the bulging bags were inside.
What? In addition, there is a table in the middle of the shed. An old man with gray hair and a clumsy face is sitting behind the table. He is wearing a green cotton robe. His expression is calm and calm. He exudes the aura of a superior person, which makes people look at him.
Feeling in awe.
Seeing this extra shed, many victims were curious and gathered around them. However, when they saw the imposing old man sitting behind the table, they all stopped. After all, just from this demeanor,
It can be seen from the above that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person, and they do not dare to approach him at all.
There were still a few servant-looking young people busy in the shed. When they finished sorting the things in the shed, someone came out and said loudly: "Fellow folks, today is the day of our grandpa's free clinic.
We will pay a fee, and we will also give away medicines to the patients. Please spread the word among the fellow villagers. If anyone has a patient, you can also invite us to diagnose and treat it!"
"Boom~" When I heard that this newly built shed was offering free medical treatment, I immediately lit a firecracker among the victims. Everyone talked with gratitude, some applauded loudly, and some thanked loudly.
In some cases, many people did not say anything, turned around and ran back to where they lived to bring the patients at home.
In a short time, the news of this free clinic spread throughout the refugee camp, and some good people found out that the doctor at the free clinic was not an ordinary person, but an old man named Wang from Songjiang Prefecture, who used to work in the camp.
He also served as a high-ranking official in the imperial court. What is even more rare is that Mr. Wang's medical skills are astonishing. Many doctors who opened medical clinics in the city were defeated. Some even said that their medical skills were the best in Songjiang. Many high-ranking officials would
I am willing to pay a lot of money for Mr. Wang's diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately, Mr. Wang is not short of money at all. Unless he is a very close friend, he will not do any diagnosis and treatment at all.
In addition, someone also learned from the servants around Mr. Wang that in order to help the victims this time, Mr. Wang took out 700 taels of silver at once, and he was among the top three among all the wealthy households who donated money. In addition, he now
Going out for a free clinic cost three to four hundred taels of medicinal materials, not to mention everything else, not to mention that Mr. Wang personally diagnosed and treated him. After the victims heard about Mr. Wang’s deeds at the free clinic, they were full of praise for him.
Praise Mr. Wang as a true good man and a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!
The patients soon rushed outside the free clinic shed. It is said that these victims were able to brave the cold and hunger to get here. Some weak or seriously ill people died on the road, and some sick people persisted until now. But these
Because people did not receive timely treatment, their physical condition was very bad. Many people could not even stand up and had to be carried to the free clinic shed.
The imposing Mr. Wang in the shed was worthy of being an official, and he dealt with patients in a very orderly manner. He ordered his assistants to carry some seriously ill people to the shed for treatment first, and most of the remaining patients were
Because of the cold weather, he got typhoid fever, so he had already made a pot of traditional Chinese medicine to treat typhoid fever. This medicine has a mild effect and can be taken by people with different physiques. Although the effect of the medicine is a little slow, it saves money.
Mr. Wang’s energy can treat more patients.
Speaking of Mr. Wang's medical skills, it is indeed amazing. No matter what kind of patient he is, he can prescribe medicine immediately after diagnosing the pulse. Some patients even improved on the spot after his massage, massage and acupuncture.
Many, plus the condition of some patients improved after a few days, which further confirmed his reputation as a miracle doctor. In just a few days, Mr. Wang became a living god in the eyes of the victims, and even the people of Songjiang Prefecture.
The famous name of Mr. Wang is spread.
After a few days of busy work, some of the victims with milder conditions have recovered under Mr. Wang's diagnosis and treatment, and some with more severe conditions have also begun to slowly improve. All they have to do is go to the free clinic shed to get medicine every day.
This also allowed Mr. Wang to finally relax. He only took the pulse of some old patients every day and checked the recovery status of the patients. In addition, with the porridge soup going on, the bodies of the victims were slowly recovering, and there were very few new patients.
produced.
This is already the seventh day of Mr. Wang's free clinic. After some patients came for treatment in the morning, only a few sporadic patients came in the afternoon. Mr. Wang also seemed very leisurely. He was sitting behind the desk, holding a cup in his hand.
Juan is looking at the manuscript carefully. If there is someone next to him, he will definitely recognize the manuscript in his hand. It is the manuscript of the first ten chapters of Journey to the West that was widely circulated among scholars in Songjiang Prefecture during this period.
This manuscript was given to Mr. Wang by a good friend three days ago. At that time, he scolded Zhou Zhong, who wrote the book, for not doing his job properly. However, when he saw the beginning of the manuscript, he immediately fell into the world of Journey to the West and couldn't extricate himself.
I am addicted to it. Whenever I have free time, I will take out the manuscript and read it carefully. Now that I have almost finished reading the first ten chapters, Mr. Wang only has a few thin manuscripts left in his hands.
Time passed quickly, and Mr. Wang quickly turned to the last page of Chapter 10 of Journey to the West. When he finished reading the last page of the manuscript, he smacked his lips with some unfinished content and said with a pity on his face: "
A good book, indeed a good book, but it’s a pity that it only has the first ten chapters.”
When he said this, Mr. Wang's face suddenly changed, and he said again angrily: "This guy Zhou Zhong is really ignorant of current affairs. He wrote such a wonderful story, but he didn't want to give it to me for tasting first, and then ask someone else to forward it to him.
Give it to me, and I haven’t seen him visit my house for such a long time, what a bastard!”
The reason why Mr. Wang scolded Zhou Zhong in this way is actually understandable, because his relationship with Zhou Zhong is not ordinary. Mr. Wang’s real name is Wang Lun, and he is Zhou Zhong’s prospective father-in-law. He used to be a supervisor of the Ming Dynasty Inspectorate.
Zuo Fu, the deputy censor of the capital, was a high-ranking official of the third rank. He was only subordinate to the two censors of the capital in the Supervisory Council. It was just because he couldn't stand Liu Jin, the leader of the Eight Tigers, controlling the government, so he wrote a letter to speak out. As a result, he was dismissed from office and returned.
The fate of the countryside.
Although his official position was dismissed, Mr. Wang's prestige in the court was still there, and many close friends still served in the court. Therefore, Wang Lun still had a great reputation among officials. For example, Xu Shenzhong's father, Xu Zhifu, was related to Wang Lun.
They were close friends, and they often drank tea and played chess together. The reason why Wang Lun went to the mountain for free medical treatment this time was also because Xu Zhifu came to ask for help.
The debts of the Zhou family have been paid off, and the house that Zhou Zhong and his family live in also belongs to Wang Lun. In addition, as the son-in-law, Zhou Zhong should find time to visit Wang Lun no matter what, but because of this, he
He was busy writing a book and could not think of it. Butler Xu also forgot to remind him. As a result, Zhou Zhong has not been able to meet his prospective father-in-law until now. No wonder Wang Lun was angry.
