Chapter 173

　　The ruined temple used to accommodate the sick is located on the edge of the shanty town. Whenever someone dies in the nearby villages, they will come to the ruined temple to burn something.

　　Of course, everyone is poor, so what is generally burned is the broken chairs that the dead used to sit on, the shabby clothes they wore when they were alive, and ingots folded out of yellow paper.

　　Tin foil is generally unaffordable for others.

　　And every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, some old people will gather here to chant Buddha's name.

　　But right now, the place is full of sick people.

　　One by one, patients with scarlet fever and red bodies were lying in the ruined temple, and the ruined temple was crowded to the brim.

　　This is not the first time something like this has happened.

　　At times like this in the past, these sick people lay together, feeling uncomfortable, and people died from time to time around them, they would feel fear in their hearts, and because of this, they would give up on themselves and feel that they could not survive...

　　but now......

　　"I don't know what we can have for lunch..."

　　"I smell meat!"

　　"I heard I bought a chicken!"

　　...

　　Several ten-year-old children nestled in the woodpile in the corner, talking in low voices.

　　"If you can eat a chicken leg, it's worth dying for." The youngest of these people, a five-year-old child, said that he has never eaten a chicken leg in such a big age!

　　The other child immediately said: "What are you talking about! The doctor said, we won't die!"

　　"That's right. Didn't the doctors outside say that? Second Young Master Huo has medicine in his hands, which can help us cure our illnesses."

　　"Second Young Master Huo is such a good man!"

　　...

　　These children don't actually know who Huo Ershao is, but at the moment, they are very grateful.

　　And at noon this day, they really ate chicken.

　　After chopping up the chicken with the belt and bone, boil it with rice to make chicken porridge, which is nutritious and delicious. After one bowl, the whole person will be warmed up.

　　They even chewed and ate chicken bones.

　　After eating, there are even bigger surprises waiting for them!

　　Hot water was boiled in the yard, and each of them could wash their faces and hands with hot water. After washing, they were given clean clothes, and someone repaired the dilapidated temple and cleaned up the debris piled inside. .

　　A ruined temple that doesn't leak wind or rain at all, warm clothes, delicious food... These patients feel that their bodies seem to be much better.

　　But at this time, more and more people came here for Xilin, and more than a hundred doctors alone came here. With so many people, there was simply no room for them to stay in the ruined temple.

　　However, the doctors at this time were not short of money. They spent some money and asked someone to level an open space near the ruined temple, and also asked someone to build a shed on the open space. tea break.
