Mind Reading: Koi Cub brings script to save the whole family

With a nervous mood, the Yu family drove a ox cart into Songyang County.

Jirentang.

Yu Ze still helps with medical consultations in the morning and studies in the afternoon.

At this moment, I was talking to Dr. Qian about the two people from yesterday.

"Alas, I tried to stop him this morning, but failed!"

"He asked for a few more doses of the medicine that Senior Brother prescribed yesterday, and also asked for the prescription."

Doctor Qian disagreed: "Forget it, it's his business if he doesn't listen, we just need to do our own thing."

The buddy Xiao Niu ran over and said, “Your family is here!”

Yu Feng's eyes lit up: "How many people are here?"

Xiao Niu said, "There are quite a few people! One of them is injured, and the young master is bandaging him."

Yu Feng became anxious and said hurriedly to Doctor Qian, "Master, I'll go over and take a look!" Then he ran away.

Xiao Niu said to Doctor Qian from behind: "It is said that they are refugees."

Doctor Qian's face suddenly became serious.

Refugees?

This is not a good word!

When Yu Feng arrived, Qian Jinnian was applying medicine to Yu Lin.

"The cut you made is quite deep, and the blade is rusty. The rust has penetrated into your skin and flesh. It's quite serious. You must take good care of it, otherwise there will be big problems!"

Qian Jinnian's expression was serious, which scared the Yu family.

Liu quickly assured: "Okay, okay, we will listen to the doctor!"

"Yes, just use whatever medicine you need. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive!" Zhang held Youyou's hand tightly.

Youyou reached out and touched her face.

"Don't worry, mom. Dad will be fine."

"What happened? Why is Second Uncle injured so seriously?" Yu Feng frowned: "Grandma, Dad and Mom, are you okay?"

Yu Sen shook his head: "We are fine, we just encountered refugees on the road and your second uncle was scratched."

I didn’t say anything else for fear of scaring Yu Feng.

Those are not ordinary refugees!

Doctor Qian followed closely, took a look at the situation and said to Xiao Niu, "Go and arrange a room for them to rest."

Yu Feng said: "Master, let my second uncle and the others go to my room!"

Doctor Qian nodded: "Alright, you take them there, Master will come over later."

Yu Feng turned to Yu Lin and the others and said, "Dad and Mom, come with me."

Qian Jinnian bandaged Yu Lin's arm and told him not to touch water or do strenuous exercise.

Then he wrote a prescription and asked Xiao Niu to get the medicine and boil it.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he followed behind.

The wound on Yu Lin’s arm was unusual, and the appearance of the refugees was also very strange.

In Yu Feng's room, Yu Lin was pressed down to sit on the edge of the bed, with Zhang sitting next to him holding Youyou.

Liu sat on a chair leaning against the wall.

Seeing this, Qian Jinnian stepped out first and then brought in two benches.

Everyone then took their seats one by one.

Doctor Qian looked at Yu Lin: "What's going on? How did you run into refugees?"

Qian Jinnian also said: "Your injury is not light. The wound looks like an ordinary kitchen knife wound, but the blood is black, which means that the knife is not clean. It is not far from being poisonous."

Everyone was so nervous that Liu asked nervously, "Poison? Is the second brother okay?"

Qian Jinnian said: "That's why I said you need to take good care of it and don't make any mistakes again!"

Liu heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good! That's good!"

"Don't worry, grandma. Daddy will be fine."

"It's just that the knife is too dirty. It has cut a lot of messy things!"

Zhang's heart tightened when she heard this, thinking of the dangerous situation before.

Have you ever chopped up some mess?

Yu Lin said in a deep voice: "That group of people came out of the dilapidated temple. There are many offerings in the dilapidated temple. If they are refugees, it makes sense."

"We were driving the bullock cart, but they came up and beat and killed us, which shows that their target was people, not bullocks."

"They must have eaten humans before! Otherwise they wouldn't leave such a big cow alone!"

Everyone has thought about the idea of ​​cannibalism in their mind, and to hear it said in this way really makes people shudder.

Qian Jinnian was horrified: "Eating people? I've only seen this in records of strange things. Isn't it raining now? How could this happen?"

Although Doctor Qian looked unhappy, it was obvious that he had seen the world.

"It rained in Songyang County, and the villages downstream of Songyang County were saved, but going upstream of Baihe River, it is probably still a wasteland. I'm afraid these people came from there."

"The refugees are cannibalistic... I can only say that the situation there is more difficult than we imagined!"

Yu Lin asked: "Will the government not do anything? Will it allow this to continue?"

"Besides, doesn't Songyang County have a response plan? If a large number of refugees come, the first ones to suffer will be the villages outside the city!"

Yujia Village is also outside the city!

Doctor Qian's face became increasingly serious: "I haven't heard any news yet, but there is another piece of news that I guess you don't want to hear."

Yu Lin was stunned: "What?"

Qian Jinnian's face turned grim when he thought of the news.

"Yesterday the county government issued a notice that this year's taxes will not be exempted, but will be increased by 10% from the previous level."

"What?" Yu Mu's voice suddenly rose, his face full of disbelief.

"Increase by 10%? Are you trying to drive me to death?"

Liu's eyes also turned red: "God damn it! The seedlings have just been planted in the fields, where will the grain come from to pay the taxes?"

"A 10% increase is a 40% increase! Even in a bumper year, we don't harvest grain this way!"

It snowed at the beginning of the year, then it rained, the wheat harvest was good, and the rice was transplanted.

The occurrence of all these things makes everyone feel that it is a good thing and a smooth year.

But when this news came from the government, people were instantly plunged into depression.

Not to mention whether taxes will increase or not, even if taxes are not exempted, it is still unknown what the harvest will be like this year.

Now with a 10% tax increase, coupled with the threat of refugees, there is really no way out!

Everyone felt that it was not as bad as last year's drought. At least they didn't have to worry about losing their lives.

The room was silent and everyone felt powerless.

After a while, Yu Lin asked, "Can I use silver bills to pay taxes?"

Shopkeeper Qian said, "Okay, but you have to add another 10%!"

Liu couldn't help cursing, "You dog official! You shall not die a good death!"

The family has ten acres of land, and in previous years, 30% of the tax was on three acres of land.

In terms of silver, it would cost three taels of silver per acre of land, while in previous years it would have cost nine taels of silver.

An increase of one tenth of a acre is equivalent to four acres of land, which is equivalent to twelve taels of silver.

But now, even if we use silver to pay it back, we have to pay 50% of it, which means we need 25 taels of silver!

Twenty-five taels of silver is enough for a family to live on for at least five years!

This is definitely robbery!

But what can be done?

How can officials win the fight against the people?

When Doctor Qian told them about this, he also wanted them to pay it off with money.

Silver is worthless these days, and food is the only thing that can save lives.

Doctor Qian knew that the Yu family had money, so he gave a reminder.

"Daddy, please use the silver as collateral. What's important now is the refugees. Nothing else matters!"

Yu Lin thought the same thing, and he said, "We'll pay for it!"
