Chapter 1516: Farmers, Reward
Just as Zhen Cheng was having a fight with Meng Yan in the house, a family across the east side of the farmhouse was sighing.
This family is a typical farmer, a family of six, an old couple, a young couple, and a pair of children of the young couple. It is very common in the countryside outside Lingwu City, and even has a small population.
Recently, the couple's son has suffered from serious illness. He has been taking medicine every day and cannot bear the cold, but he has never improved. For this reason, a well-known doctor in the city was invited to see a doctor.
The medical expenses are fine, but what this farmer cannot bear the most is that the prescription prescribed by the doctor contains a precious herb that is more expensive than gold. Only by using this medicine to replenish the child's vitality can the prescription drive away the disease and be completely cured.
However, they are just ordinary farmers, with a meager income and cannot afford the expensive cost at all, but it is not possible to not save them. This boy is the root of their family. If the root is gone, what's the point of their life?
At the most tormenting time, the couple even wanted to sell their daughter to exchange for money to treat their son. They were typical of favoring boys over girls, but in this world and social environment, it was difficult to blame.
Fortunately, although the old couple felt sorry for their grandson, they were unwilling to sacrifice their granddaughter, especially since the matter was not over yet. The root cause was that the old man in this family was a member of the Pudu Church.
The church members are different from ordinary believers. They are serious and open incense and enter the door.
This is not to say that the old man has something amazing, but because he is old, has been in the local area for a long time, has known many people, and has many relationships. The Pudu Church hopes to use him to attract more people to the church, so he gives him such treatment.
The Pudu Church relies on saving the world and practicing medicine to help the world to deceive the people. The old man has always been convinced of the Pudu Church's methods of curing diseases, so he has fantasies and expectations, waiting for the Pudu Church's messenger to come and help him overcome the difficulties.
However, since Meng Zhao dominated Lingwu City, he has successively cracked down on the forces and religious groups of Pudu, which has led to the Puduism listing this place as a dangerous place, diverting energy, and developing religious groups elsewhere. Local religious groups are basically without a leader and can only rely on faith to support them.
However, the Buddha Dapu is just a fictional religious belief and does not protect his believers' divine power. Therefore, the old man is now in an embarrassing situation. He wants to find someone to help, but he can't find someone to help.
However, they can wait, but children who are seriously ill cannot wait. Therefore, in the past few days, the old man from the farmer has been running around to borrow money and sell the things in the family, but it is still much different from the need to cure his grandson.
In the farm house, the whole family was bleak. The old couple, their daughter-in-law, and their young daughter sat around the kang table, but none of them had an appetite.
Dada, the old man knocked on his tobacco pipe, his old face full of gullies was full of gloom.
"Old woman, it really doesn't work. I want to leave Lingwu City and go to Yanzhou to find a Buddhist envoy. As long as the Buddhist envoy is willing to take action, the puppy will definitely be safe and sound."
However, as soon as the old man said this proposal, he was strongly opposed by his own wife and daughter-in-law.
The old man is not a martial arts world. He is not good at martial arts. He may have some strength when he was young, but now he is old and weak, he is even worse than an ordinary strong man. Now the world is uneasy, and he is a man with old arms and legs going to another place, which is too dangerous.
You should know that in this world with inconvenient transportation and information blockage, many people have traces of life in their lives within a radius of ten miles, and some people have never even come out of the village.
The old man also knew that his idea was a bit whimsical. Not to mention whether he could safely find the Buddhist envoy of the Puji Buddhism, even if he found it, it would be a question whether he would be willing to come back with him to treat his illness.
It’s not that the Buddha’s envoy is like this person, but that the Lingwu City is now a forbidden zone for the people of the Pudu Church, and there are considerable risks when they come back.
Just then, a barking sounded from outside the door, but it was the old man's son who was back.
He was twenty-five or six years old, carrying a hoe in his hand, his face was gloomy and a little excited.
After putting down the hoe, I came to the house and closed the doors and windows, looking sneaky.
The old man and the others were also very puzzled when they saw his style. What doors and windows should be closed in broad daylight?
"Dad, I just heard from Man Jizi that General Yangwu gave a heavy reward and wanted to search for suspicious people near us. If we can get this money, we can definitely cure the puppy."
Rewards have been the most efficient way of doing things since ancient times. As a reward, there must be brave men, and there are many people who sacrifice their lives for this.
Although Meng Zhao dominated Lingwu City and had a huge power, it cannot be said that he controlled the entire city without any blind spots.
Therefore, in order to search for the traces of the mafia and Meng Yan, he issued this order, and with the powerful power of the Meng family, everyone who promoted it was well known.
Of course, many times, farmers like this generally dare not get involved in such matters. Even if they know that they have great gains, they will keep silent for their duty or fear of trouble, and they will not lie and earn rewards.
Normally, the old man's family is also a member of this kind of farmer's people, and may only use this news as a topic of conversation after dinner.
However, the situation is different now. The lifeblood of their family is that the puppy is seriously ill and must have money to treat the disease. This reward has become a life-saving straw for them.
Of course, the more important thing is that they did realize something different, that is, the neighbors seem to be different from the past.
For example, the neighbor's old wife has been missing for a long time, and only one old man is in charge of her at home.
For example, as a neighbor, you have to have some contact in the past and say hello to meet every day.
However, the old man in the neighbor seemed to have no such intention at all, and lived a dead end in his home, completely strangers to these neighbors, and was reluctant to even greet him.
For example, sometimes the old man next door will be elusive and does not take much care of field affairs.
In addition, compared with the old man in this farm family, the old man was older, but he obviously didn't look like an elderly man. He was smart and energetic, and was completely different from the past.
These flaws are actually Zhen Cheng's shortcomings. He is a noble figure. Even if he has the skill of disguise and face-changing skills, how can he truly put himself in his shoes and play the role of such an old farmer?
The family was careful and whispering, but in the end the old man made the decision and decided to go and react to the Meng family in order to give the reward.
If they really get this reward, not only will the puppies have the potential to cure their illness, but they can also live a prosperous life.
