The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 406 Part 2

The commotion grew loud, so the young apprentice came over to ask what had happened.

The old woman apologized to everyone repeatedly, then explained the old man's situation.

The old man was still on his son's back, unconscious. When the young apprentice touched him, he was burning hot. But the people wouldn't give way, and the young apprentice had no choice either: "Go queue outside! You can't cut in line unless you have a certificate issued by the yamen."

"Huh? What certificate?" Not only the old man's family, but even those queuing nearby didn't understand.

The blanket lifted slightly at one corner, and Guaizai's two big eyes peeked out. Seeing they were still looking at him, he quickly covered himself again.

Sleeping next to Guaizai was Tang Fulang. Seeing no movement from under the thin blanket, he reached over and pulled it down for him.

Guaizai had been exhausted these past few days. The moment he lay down, he was dead to the world. Now he was sleeping soundly, and quite a few people gathered around to look.

A woman gently opened his little hand. It was wrinkled from being soaked in water for so long, and there were two blisters on his palm. She burst into tears right then and there.

In past years, whenever something like this happened, the Ministry of Revenue would wail and sob. The silver and grain for disaster relief clearly came from the imperial treasury, yet these people cried as if the money were being pulled straight from their own pockets, endlessly crying poverty. But now, their expressions seemed to say: "Ah, the common folk are suffering again. Who knows how they'll get by now. But it's fine—the court will send grain and it'll be alright."

What was going on?

Oh, right. There was chemical fertilizer.

A soldier lay at the opening looking inside and also concluded they couldn't dig any more, or else if it collapsed, the child would die.

But the opening was really too small. They couldn't get down at all. Several people tried multiple times, but their shoulders got stuck.

"Call Xiao Zheng over," Fang Zichen said.

Xiao Zheng was called over. He was a man with a very small frame.

He could squeeze through this opening.

Xiao Zheng crawled in and came out after a while: "Lord Fang, that child's left foot is pinned."

Chapter 405

Grandma Tang watched what was happening in front of her, stood up, and walked toward the other side too.

One, two, three...

Earlier, everyone had cursed them.

Cursing outside occasionally got them beaten, so they stopped saying it aloud. But not saying it didn't mean they agreed with it. In their hearts, they still didn't approve of the higher-ups conscripting young women and gers into the army.

Especially some of the elderly—they complained the most.

Tang Daniang watched as he clenched his little fists, lifted his little feet, and stamped them hard on the ground. He said loudly: "Big Sister, Guaizai isn't afraid. Guaizai wants to help. Guaizai is a brave Guaizai."

It was just blood. He wasn't afraid at all!

He wanted to help his father.

He was already a man. He couldn't be afraid.

The bedding and clothes that had been dug out were dirty, wet, and unusable.

The injured needed a clean, warm place to recover, and their wounds, already treated with medicine, couldn't get wet.

Tang Fulang took Niuwa into his arms and called him several times. Niuwa didn't respond, as if asleep.

Tang Fulang pressed his lips together, reached out a trembling hand, and touched Niuwa's pale face, only to find it was cold. His heart lurched.

"Niuwa, don't scare Daddy. Please don't scare Daddy. Open your eyes and look at me. Don't sleep. Look at Daddy."

Niuwa didn't move. His hair was wet and stuck to his pale little face. He was very thin. Now, held in his arms, he was almost weightless. Yesterday he had occasionally called out that he was cold, that his leg hurt. Today, Grandma Tang held him and noticed he wasn't speaking, just sleeping in a daze. She shook him, and he said he was sleepy, wanted to sleep a bit.
