Bianjing little doctor

Anxiety and restlessness permeated the dry air.

Sun Huai opened a silk umbrella and covered Xin Yi's head. She squatted on the ground to carefully observe the child's situation as if she hadn't checked.

In the carriage, Fu Jiuqu lazily leaned against the wall, looking at each other quietly.

When receiving patients, Xin Yi was very different from usual. He forgot about dizziness and vomiting, and was no longer coquettish and afraid of the sun. It was like a different person. Suddenly, a huge force came out, and his eyes became radiant.

"Brother Duan." Xin Yi suddenly looked sideways at Duan Sui who was hiding under the shed of the carriage, "Bring me some water."

Holding the waist knife in his arms, Duan Sui glanced lazily at Fu Jiuqu, "Oh."

Seeing this, the little woman looked at Xin Yi eagerly.

"Engong, what's wrong with my child? What's wrong with him?"

Xin Yi said: "Don't worry. He's just... hungry, thirsty, and hot."

The child was about two or three years old, thin and small, with a sallow complexion, skinny, and Xin Yi felt sad when he touched his thin and thin hands like dry sticks.

Even adults can't handle hunger and high temperature, let alone a malnourished child?
Xin Yi filled the child with water and gave the woman the dry food in the carriage.

"Chew it and feed it to the children."

Gao Miao specially ordered the stove to cook these things for them. The sesame seed cakes were filled with fresh meat, which looked oily and very irritating.

The crowd of onlookers made the sound of swallowing saliva.

The pair of eyes stared straight at the oil cake in the woman's hand. The woman was a little afraid, as if she had taken a piece of gold, carefully put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, tasted the taste but was reluctant to swallow it, and lowered her head Feed into the child's mouth like a swallow.

Xin Yi said: "Don't be in a hurry, find a cool place, drink some water, eat something, and let the child come over after a while."

The woman shook her head, "If you don't walk, there is no way to live. There is no food, no drink... Starvation is death, thirst is death, anyway, it is death. If you move forward, there may be hope of life..."

It is hard for people who have not experienced the hardships of life under the shadow of war to imagine.

Xin Yi never felt poverty and hunger when she was born. When she first arrived in Bianjing, her days were unsatisfactory and she never felt hungry. But she looked at the group of ordinary people with sunken eyes and disheveled faces in front of her—ordinary people like her, but Empathize easily.

If no one lends a helping hand today, these people will starve to death if they cannot find shelter.

However, they prepared a lot of dry food, but they did not enter the city or stay in a store along the way, so they did not resupply.

If I distribute it to others, I'm afraid Fu Jiuqu won't...

Xin Yi looked back at Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu was also looking at her.

The two looked at each other, and Fu Jiuqu opened his lips slightly as if he had read her mind, "Cheng Cang!"

Cheng Cang stepped forward, "Master Jiu..."

Fu Jiuqu said without changing his expression, "Give them half of the food."

Cheng Cang raised his eyelids in surprise, the "yes" was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

They consisted of nine people, three cars and ten horses. In addition to instant food such as sesame seed cakes, steamed corn bread, dried bacon, preserved fruit, etc., they also prepared some fine grains for human consumption, millet for horse food, and fresh water in barrels. .

If he hadn't seen the dry fields and the victims fleeing famine, Cheng Cang would not have refused to donate food to help people survive, but under today's disaster, he has no idea...

What if the town ahead has no supplies?

What if you can't catch up with the army and don't have food to eat?
What about the county king?
"What? Can't you hear me?" Fu Jiuqu looked over coldly.

Cheng Cang lowered his head.

Several guards looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not make a sound.

The summer heat seemed to be ignited, and the guards silently stepped forward to lift the carriage to carry the grain.

"No!" Cheng Cang bit the bullet to stop him, bowed his head and cupped his hands: "Master Jiu, this is not feasible!"

Cheng Cang had been with Fu Jiuqu for several years, and it was the first time he said no to his order.There was also some tension between the words.

"Jiuye, the victims have fled here, hungry and hungry. There must be a shortage of water and food ahead, I'm afraid we can't find supplies. We are going to fight. If there is no food, people and horses will be too hungry to walk. What can we do with those southern barbarians?"

Fu Jiuqu brushed off his sleeves with a calm voice.

"Do you want me to watch the people starve to death?"

Cheng Cang knew he was angry, but he gritted his teeth and refused to back down.

"The subordinates were also born in a common people's family, so they can be grateful for Jiuye's kind deeds, but the victims of the disaster cannot be saved... If this group of people is saved, there will be more, more people like them if they go south , Jiuye, how many more can we save? Not to mention sharing half of the food, even if we give them all our food and kill our horses to eat meat, that is not enough."

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.

Cheng Cang quickly lowered his head, not looking at him, but his voice was a little firmer than before.

"Jiuye should put the war at the top of his list, and don't discard the important and take the light, causing trouble."

Fu Jiuqu's eyes narrowed slightly, "You have stiff wings, do you want to be my master?"

"Subordinates don't dare." Cheng Cang's forehead was covered with sweat, without saying a word, he thumped, and then knelt on one knee under the scorching sun, "Please think twice."

Seeing this, the guards all kowtowed to the ground and said in unison: "Master, please think twice."

The air suddenly became tense.

Before Fu Jiuqu could speak, Xin Yi walked over.

She glanced at the sullen Fu Jiuqu and sighed softly.

"I understand everyone's concerns, Brother Cheng, you are right. Normally, we must protect ourselves first, and then talk about saving others..."

Cheng Cang raised his head and looked at her earnestly, "My lady is right."

Xin Yi smiled slightly, stared at him and said, "If I say, as long as they get through this difficult time, not only will we have something to eat, but they will also have something to eat. Would you like to give them half of the food?"

Cheng Cang asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, lady?"

Xin Yi glanced at the people squatting or sitting under the trees on the side of the road, and lowered his voice.

"The sun is scorching hot. What these people want to solve is the immediate hunger and thirst. If we don't take action, they will fall halfway if they can't reach the place where there is water and food."

Cheng Cang pursed his lips: "If we give it to them, we will be the ones who fall!"

Cheng Cang always orders and prohibits, speaks few words, like a machine without emotion, he has never disobeyed Fu Jiuqu's orders, let alone confronted him with a blushing face.

This is the first time Xin Yi has seen him be so stubborn.

Xin Yi was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I have a way to find supplies."

Cheng Cang looked at the earth that had been baked into wheat-colored by the sun, and gritted his teeth, "It's not that I don't believe in my lady..."

"Just trust me." Xin Yi looked directly at him, and said calmly: "Brother Cheng, give them half now. I will solve the water and food problems."

"Cheng Cang!" There was a little impatience in Fu Jiuqu's clear voice, "Don't waste time, disturb the morale of the army and ask you."

Cheng Cang glanced at Xin Yi, saw her wink at him, sighed, and confessed.

Duan Sui and the other guards didn't have the courage of Cheng Cang, they walked over silently when they saw this, carrying food and water, and placed the food and water under a big tree by the roadside...

"Everyone use it."

The crowd gathered on the side of the road and has been afraid to go forward.

They waited in panic, and heard them arguing, but they didn't know what they were talking about. Seeing the guards bring the food in front of them, each of them woke up like a dream.

You look at me, I look at you, surprised, but not sure...

"Is this for, for us to eat?"

"Yes, our master said, we will share half of the food with you."

"A good man, God has eyes, we have met a good man..."

A group of people wept loudly holding the cornbread and dried meat, first kowtowed to God, and then kowtowed to Fu Jiuqu in the carriage.

"Thank you benefactor for the food...thank you benefactor for the food!"

Xin Yi was heartbroken, and stepped forward to help him up, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, under the sun, don't pay attention to those empty etiquette..."

People who are extremely hungry can't wait to swallow their tongues when they see food.

"There's water here, there's water...here, take it, don't choke."

Duan Sui was the one who laughed the most and was the most enthusiastic among the guards. He scooped up water with a gourd and handed it to the common people.

"Don't worry, eat slowly. Our master said, after finishing the dry food, we will bring two bags of refined food in the sack, and make porridge when you are hungry on the road. You can always fool around for a few days, and when you reach Hengzhou That's all right, it was raining heavily when we came, and the crops in the field are growing well."

Someone boldly asked, "Are you going to the south?"

Duan Sui: "Yes."

"Don't go, let Engong go back quickly, the south is not safe now."

"Yes, go back, don't go further south." Everyone echoed.

For the convenience of traveling, Fu Jiuqu and his party were all dressed in casual clothes, and their identities could not be identified. These people thought that he was the young master of some rich family, and they were very nervous.

"Those barbarians are like savages, killing people is like slaughtering chickens, without blinking... In the past few months, we have watched reinforcements from all over the world come... One batch after another, the barbarians' territory is getting bigger and bigger... Sigh Don't go, it's dangerous!"

Duan Sui knew that they meant well, and smiled slightly, "This time it's different."

"What is the difference?"

Duan Sui glanced at Fu Jiuqu and said with a smile: "I heard that the officials appointed General Shi Di, the deputy of the Privy Council, as the envoy to conquer the South. The general will definitely beat that barbarian to death, avenge everyone, and take back their homeland..."
