Chapter 271 To Help or Not to Help?
In ancient times, people used beautiful seashells as currency to exchange goods, so seashells can definitely be considered money.
Although there was no gambling involved, the character for "gamble" contains the radical for "shell," so how can it be unrelated to money?
There are others, such as the character for currency, 'goods', 'credit', 'thief', 'postage', 'account', 'purchase', etc. Most characters containing the radical 'shell' are related to money, although not all of them are.
How can you think it's okay as long as you don't gamble? So, everyone should stay away from gambling.
As the group continued walking, they noticed a dozen or so young beggars crossing the road ahead, running quickly in one direction, muttering things like "performing rituals" and "attending a feast" as they went.
They were running so fast that they bumped into a middle-aged woman buying groceries, spilling her basket all over the ground. Everyone was rushing to the banquet, and no one offered to help them up; they all ran off in an instant.
The passersby were all busy with their own things and no one offered to help.
Seeing the person who had fallen to the ground and kept groaning, Wu You was having an internal struggle: should she help them up or not?
There aren't any security cameras around here, so if they say I pushed them, it'll be hard to say. But I don't think there's ever been a case of someone being falsely accused after helping someone in this area, right?
While Wu You was lost in thought, Li Lianhua had already stepped forward to help him up.
"Auntie, are you alright?"
"It looks like I twisted my ankle." The woman on the ground clutched her ankle, looking very pained.
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor. Let me set your bones." Li Lianhua immediately revealed her identity as a doctor to reassure the person on the ground.
"Come on, Youyou, help the old lady to sit down at the stall over there. Be gentle."
"Oh, okay." Wu You hurriedly stepped forward and, together with Li Lianhua, each helped one side of the old woman, leading her to a stool in the nearby wonton shop.
"Oh, thank you so much, young man and young woman. I don't know what I would have done today if it weren't for you." The old woman was also a talkative person and quickly thanked the two of them.
"Don't be so polite, ma'am. We're both in our twenties now, no longer young men or women."
Wu You: In this era where people get married, have children, and whose children are already running around in their teens, we two are definitely not young enough to be called a young man and a young woman.
"Why can't you take on the responsibility? You two young men and you, a young lady, don't look that old, yet you keep saying such mature things."
"Auntie, I think you just twisted your ankle a little. I'll straighten it for you. It will hurt a bit, but please bear with it."
Li Lianhua examined the area and then spoke to the old woman.
"It's alright, young man, you can straighten it, I can bear it. Ah..." The old woman was pulled back to her senses by Li Lianhua, and just as she was agreeing, Li Lianhua had already finished setting her bones.
"It's all better now, but we didn't bring any herbs with us when we went out, so we need to go to the clinic to buy some ointment to apply."
"Oh, it really doesn't hurt much anymore, thank you so much." The old lady shook her ankle and found that the excruciating pain from before was gone.
"We're new here and don't know where the clinic is. Auntie, where is the clinic in Xiaoyuan Town? We'll help you all the way and take you there directly."
Wu You suggested that if she were to limp over there by herself, she didn't know how long it would take.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all. The clinic is just a short distance ahead." The old lady didn't stand on ceremony. She was having trouble walking alone, so she gave directions to the group, while Wu You and Li Lianhua helped her walk.
