Chapter 108 What to do? Just pamper your best friend.
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, the two dismounted.
They sent a guard in to announce their arrival, and then the two of them followed the guard inside.
The marshal, the city lord, several generals, and Li Rongchuan and his wife were all present.
Upon seeing the couple, Mu Huaisheng disregarded his embarrassment and recounted the entire story of how he brought the Tibetan slaves back to Tibet.
However, he said it was a decision made by himself and Blue Medicine God.
"No! No, it was my own rash decision!"
The marshal gave a powerful, resonant laugh.
"I already know."
Liao, the strategist, had already given a detailed report early in the morning.
Lord Lan, you can figure out how to deal with these people yourself.
They were all elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, sigh~
If you take it back, you can cover your own travel expenses along the way.
"Thank you, Marshal. Travel expenses are assured, please don't worry!"
"Alas~ After years of war, our Great Hao Kingdom also has many wounded soldiers and orphans."
Would you like to do some good deeds while you're at it?
"Yes, Marshal."
"You can give me some people, and I'll take them back with me!"
Blue Medicine God immediately replied in a serious tone and a loud voice.
"Oh?
You rescued 126 Tibetan slaves.
"And how many of our own soldiers and orphans are you planning to rescue?"
"I'm willing, and I'll take 126 of them with me~"
"The main problem is that if there are any more, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a place for them at home, Marshal~"
Mu Huaisheng's mind was buzzing, and he thought to himself:
Speechless, facepalm~
Haha~ Great!
That's truly courageous and righteous!
Then I sent some wounded soldiers and children back to the capital, first to the Charity Hall in the western suburbs of Yedu.
That way, you can go back and find a place to go without worry.
Once you've made all the arrangements, go to the charity hall and pick them up one by one, then we can arrange everything slowly.
"That's excellent~"
"Thank you, Marshal. I'll head to the camp now."
After saying that, he bid farewell to Mu Huaisheng and went back.
When Mu Huaisheng turned his head, his eyes met those of the handsome newlywed couple.
Both men's eyes conveyed the message that they had more to say to her.
Mu Huaisheng quickly pretended not to have received it and fled as if he were escaping.
After leaving the house, I became increasingly angry with myself for being so useless.
I didn't do anything wrong~
Why should I run away?
Mu Huaisheng, oh Mu Huaisheng!
I'm truly impressed by you!
Then he thought of the Blue Medicine God, who had more than a hundred people still unresolved and whose problems had been solved, and now had more than a hundred more.
This is such a headache!
The matter is already settled; all we can do is try to find a solution.
After thinking for a moment, he discussed it with the Blue Medicine God:
"Those survivors and orphans can be placed in the charity hall for now."
They were given a fixed amount of money for resettlement at regular intervals.
We'll take it slow from here on out.
These Tibetan slaves are in dire need of help. We should go back now and treat their illnesses first.
In a couple of days, we'll return to Yedu with the army. What will we do after we get back?
“My family owns quite a few properties. I’ll go back and ask my mother and Xiuwei to arrange for them to move to the estate.”
If they knew anything else, that would be even better; my family has quite a few other businesses too.
"Yes, it's good that you have a plan."
Let's go buy 126 sets of ready-made clothes and shoes/socks first.
In order not to attract the attention of the Tibetans, they were barely clothed the whole way.
We need to find a river so they can take a bath.
We need to clean ourselves up looking like this.
I also need to learn how to talk to them, because there won't be a Mr. Liao anymore~
"When we get back, we need to free up Zhenniang and Danggui so they can prepare a generous gift to send to Mr. Liao's house."
"Huaisheng... thank you~"
Come with me, let's clean up this mess!
"We're talking like this!"
Do you really need to say such things to me?
Let's go back and buy them clothes first, then find a place to bathe them and treat their illnesses.
The two of them went to the two largest clothing stores, but they still couldn't find enough coarse cloth clothes.
Finally, the two of them visited every clothing store, big and small, in the city before they managed to collect the items.
Just have them deliver the clothes to the small river east of the military camp.
Fortunately, it was still warm, and everyone was wearing only light clothing.
We put the forty-odd sets of women's and children's items on the table and took them back immediately.
After returning home, the two of them quickly washed themselves and then took their clothes to change into with Zhenniang and the others.
They were told to go back and freshen up, then go to the city to prepare gifts to send to Mr. Liao's house. The two agreed and left.
Mu Huaisheng and Lan Yaoshen entered the tent and gestured for them to come out.
Mu Huaisheng pointed to the young woman who learned the fastest:
"You! Come here!"
With a combination of words and gestures, the girl, being quick-witted, immediately understood and knelt down in front of him.
Using the same method, Mu Huaisheng gestured and spoke simply to get her to take a set of clothes.
Once the girl understood, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Mu Huaisheng told her to stand aside, which made it much easier for the women and children to get their clothes.
Then, Lan Yaoshen looked over at the remaining male Tibetan slaves, and Mu Huaisheng led them to the riverbank.
Let's start with that girl. Make sure they all take a shower and put their clothes on.
The clothes from various stores have been delivered one after another.
Mu Huaisheng returned to the camp and asked Lan Yaoshen to take the male Tibetan slaves away.
The girl kowtowed to the two men and spoke to them in her local dialect.
Then she knelt down before Shen Huai and used simple language and body language to express that she would accompany the lord to communicate with those people.
Shen Huai then had the girl take them there.
Shen Huai led the remaining people back to the military tent and began to treat them and prescribe medicine.
When they had seen half of the people, the Blue Medicine God returned with the rest.
In the morning, I asked the restaurant to deliver cornbread at noon, and they delivered it.
Everyone was also given a piece of kimchi.
The Tibetan slaves began to kowtow again, repeating the few words that Mr. Liao had taught them along the way.
They never expected to receive medical treatment and food at noon. It seems that this lord is truly a bodhisattva reincarnated.
Zhenniang and the others returned to relieve Mu and Lan, and told them to go have lunch.
After finishing their lunch, Mu and Lan returned to continue treating these people.
I was busy until late at night.
Most Tibetan slaves needed to have their wounds cleaned, treated, and bandaged. Some even needed sutures, followed by further treatment and bandaging.
The two of them worked until midnight.
From then until the army returned, the two of them did this every day.
With too many people, we should try to avoid decocting medicine for those who can.
Before each dose of medicine is taken, both people must smell it.
There were too many; Zhenniang and the others couldn't possibly remember who was who.
Before the army broke camp, the marshal sent someone to call Lan Yaoshen to come and claim the remaining soldiers.
Mu was worried, so she went with Lan.
They were probably randomly assigned; there were people of all ages, all of whom were lonely and helpless.
Lan looked at it, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
He stood frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.
While I was busy treating the injury, I didn't notice it, but now that I've come to see it for myself, it's truly shocking.
Seeing Lan's suppressed expression, Mu knew that his heart was in turmoil.
He could only suppress the discomfort in his chest and clear his throat, saying:
"Distinguished heroes, orphans of heroes, this is Doctor Lan, and my surname is Mu."
Upon returning to the capital, we will first settle you all at the Charity Hall in the western suburbs of Yedu.
The Blue Doctor Association will cover everyone's expenses at the charity hall.
Because Dr. Lan encountered some issues this time, he saved some people with more serious injuries.
Please stay at the charity hall for now. Once Dr. Lan is done with his work, he will take care of you properly.
I will not stand idly by; I will assist Dr. Lan in properly arranging everyone's accommodation.
Please forgive any shortcomings, and please rest assured.
After saying this, he bowed to the orphans of the remaining soldiers.
Afterwards, the army, along with the wounded and Lan and Mu's self-funded wounded, broke camp and returned to the capital.
