Chapter 240 Quack?

The people at the back were curious and asked, and cheered after getting the answer. Soon, almost all the people who were still queuing and suffering from the scorching sun cheered and praised Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing pressed his palm down, signaling everyone to be quiet. The cheers gradually stopped, but the joy on his face did not change at all.

Soon, Ah Fu and his men came with bucket after bucket of water and several bowls, and served a bowl of salted water to each person in line.

After drinking the salt water, everyone's complexion improved a little.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and the servants brought up the troublemaker.

A few children...

Shirahoshi stopped, asked the patient to wait for a moment, and walked over to the children, "What's going on?"

The women around the child suddenly started crying:

"Damn it, this quack doctor is a liar. My child's condition wasn't that serious yesterday, but after I treated him, he died this morning. Damn it."

"My child is the same. He keeps complaining about stomachaches, diarrhea, and vomiting after returning home at night. He has no peace all night long."

"Quack, I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. Let me in, let me in!"

"My child has become like this. None of you can expect to have an easy life. You must give us an explanation. I want to report to the police. I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Oh, my child, who will do justice for us?"

Several men also looked sad. They did not make a scene, but said firmly to the attendant: "We want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. You must give us an explanation for this matter, and this quack doctor must be brought to justice."

Afterwards, several people looked at Bai Xing with extremely ferocious eyes, as if they wanted to eat him. If it weren't for the Rhino Armor Guards stopping them, there was no guarantee that they would not really rush over.

Bai Xing did not speak a word from beginning to end, and stood aside in silence. His eyes swept across several pale children, who looked like they had been tortured, with their eyes closed and expressions of pain.

When everyone saw this, their faces changed drastically. Some criticized Shirahoshi, while others defended him. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and the argument was fierce.

Bai Xing remained silent, as if he was out of the matter. Ever since he was attacked last night, he guessed that today would not be peaceful. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was at its highest.

But I didn't expect that they would choose to attack at this time, and they were just children.

At this time, everyone's mouth is dry and their mood is inevitably restless due to the scorching sun. This is the time when emotions are most easily aroused.

Once people get too excited at this time, they tend to get drunk, in all kinds of senses.

Not long after, there was another violent commotion in the crowd. Bai Xing guessed that someone must have fainted.

He looked over there and saw several people fainted on the ground.

He said calmly, "Quick, move them to a cool and ventilated place. Also, get a few basins of cold water and wipe their bodies, especially their armpits and necks."

Afu thought for a while and decided to do as Shirahoshi said.

Under his command, several people were carried to a cool place to dissipate heat.

Everyone felt uncomfortable under the scorching sun and their voices gradually became quieter. Due to this accident, most people chose to leave, but not all of them left. Instead, they found a shady corner nearby and stayed together.

Go to the theater.

Bai Xing ignored those who ran away. He ordered people to bring the child up. The child was still conscious and could open his eyes and speak.

There was a child who started screaming as soon as he saw the white star: "Mom, I'm scared, mom, wuwuwu."

A woman hurried forward, and the servants did not dare to stop her. She easily passed the defense, hugged her child, and whispered comfort.

Then she glared at Bai Xing fiercely, "It's you, it's you who harmed my child, you will be punished."

Then, she coaxed him in a low voice: "Son, I'm here. I will definitely seek justice for you. Tell me, what happened last night?"

The child buried his head in the woman's shoulder and sniffed. "I...I came here to see a doctor yesterday. This uncle gave me a bottle of something to drink, saying that drinking it would make me healed. Then I drank it. When I went to bed at night, my stomach hurt so much. I wanted to go to the toilet and vomit."

"Mom, I feel dizzy now. Am I going to die?"

The woman's expression immediately changed. "Be good, you won't die. Mother won't let you die."

She held the child, tears streaming down her face. "You all heard it, right? It was him. My son Erniu became like this after eating what the quack doctor gave him. The child wouldn't lie, and we're not here to cause trouble. Please give us a witness."

"This quack doctor said that drinking this medicine will cure us. He is taking us for fools. Where in the world is there such a good medicine? My son Erniu almost lost half his life after drinking it."

Those who were still queuing and had high faith in Shirahoshi couldn't help but begin to waver.

"Yeah, kids don't lie. Could it really be him? Is he really a quack?"

Everyone's eyes on Bai Xing gradually became strange.

At this time, a young man squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Do you remember me? I am Zhang Bufan who lives in the south of the city. My father, Old Zhang, was the first one to receive medical treatment from you yesterday. He was able to recognize people on the spot. There was nothing abnormal after returning home. He is doing well."

"Don't worry, everyone. The master also gave my father three bottles of medicine. He is still drinking it and the effect is very good."

He seemed to remember something, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and coughed lightly, and continued: "My father can now tell my uncles and aunts about the embarrassing things I did when I was a child. I eat everything with relish, sleep well, and even take a walk now."

Someone in the crowd said, "I know that old Zhang. He hasn't recognized anyone for years. He doesn't even recognize his own children. He randomly recognizes relatives on the street. It's said that he won't live past the next year."

"I was there yesterday and saw with my own eyes that Old Zhang recognized the child. I was quite moved. This child had a hard time too. Old Zhang's family had a son when he was old, but when the child was still a little older, he became ill. They were a good family, but now... Alas~"

The woman's face suddenly turned ugly. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm lying? The child is so young, would he lie?"

"That's right, so what you said makes sense. We are the ones who gathered to cause trouble? Who would play such a joke on their own children? How can we, as elders, feel good when we see children in pain?"

As she spoke, another woman burst into tears. She cried and said, "Look at these children. Do they look fake? They are all in this state, and you are still talking to this evil man. I will not live any longer. This is so unjust. The children have been abused like this, and there is no place to seek justice."
