prosperous medical woman

Chapter 46

Yi Gengtian's home is not that big, it only has a few rooms and a big yard. When Bai Li first arrived here, he couldn't help but be surprised that his home is so simple and shabby that it is even worse than the homes of ordinary civilians.The official's family didn't have many servants, but Yi Gengtian's family had only one servant, and it was this servant who adopted Zhang Liang who had no father or mother since he was a child.Bai Li is not greedy for anything, but admires Yi Gengtian for being poor and caring for the people.

"Miss Bai, it's time to eat."

"Sister Zhao, I'll come, I'll do it." Bai Li quickly got up to help.

Mrs. Zhao held the bowls and chopsticks with a kind smile, showing a friendly smile, "Miss Bai, the city lord is not here, and Liang Er has gone to the barracks. I am lonely here as an old woman. Fortunately, Miss Bai, you don't dislike her."

"Where is it, it's thanks to the city lord for taking him in, otherwise Bai Li wouldn't even have a place to stay. Bai Li has to thank Aunt Fei for taking care of her!"

Bai Li picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables. There were three dishes on the table. The leaves were all covered with traces of insects, and the roots of the vegetables were all rotten. The original white rice was now broken rice with sand and gravel. "Ms. Fei, where are the rice and vegetables?"

Aunt Fei smiled a little embarrassedly, "Miss Bai is a guest, I should take good care of her, but I didn't take good care of her."

"No, no, no." Bai Li hurriedly waved her hands. "Ms. Fei, you misunderstood me. I'm just curious. The food is getting worse every day. Is it because Bai Li's arrival has increased your burden?"

"No, now that the army is here, they are collecting food everywhere in the streets. We ordinary people can't buy food even if we have money."

how so?Bai Li was very suspicious, how could the army collect food from the common people when it had its own military pay and rations?Bai Li saw the basket in Mrs. Fei's hand and asked suspiciously, "This is?"

"Oh! Miss Bai, I will go to the military camp later and bring this meal to Liang Er. We can only eat like this. Liang Er must not eat well as a hot soldier in the military camp."

"Ms. Fei, you are getting old, so you should stop walking so much. I'll just go."

"This... this... no, Miss Bai, you are a guest."

"It's okay, I'm also going to the barracks on something."

"Okay, please trouble Miss Bai."

Bai Li shook her head slightly, and took the basket from Aunt Fei's hand
The street is not as lively as it was a few days ago. There are few stalls on the desolate streets. Even if there are stalls, they are all things that have nothing to do with food. The passers-by are all holding things in their arms in panic.

At the door of a rice shop, several soldiers knocked on the door, "Open the door! Open the door! Collect food."

The soldiers knocked for a long time before the rice store opened a crack, "Masters, the store is out of rice."

"No rice!" The soldier kicked with his foot in a funny way, and the door and the people behind it were kicked to the ground. "Search for me!" The soldier gave an order, and someone rushed into the store to search for food.After a while, the soldiers returned with a cart full of grain.

The owner of the rice store sat on the ground holding the banknotes given to him by the soldiers and cried loudly, "My rice! My rice!"

Bai Li looked at all this with a frown. This is not real robbery. After all, the soldiers paid for it, but the old side of the rice store was unwilling to sell it, and the soldiers insisted on buying it.Bai Li walked into the rice store, and the rice store was turned into a mess, "Don't cry, uncle, get up."

The owner of the rice shop saw Bai Li, he had lived for so much of his life, when did he shed tears, and now a little girl told him not to cry, if he cried again, he would really be ashamed to see others.

"Hey..." The owner of the rice shop was supported by Bai Li and shook his head as he saw his shop turned into a mess. "Little girl, I don't have any rice here, you can buy it elsewhere!"

"Uncle, I'm not here to buy rice, I just want to know how to run out of rice if it's so good."

"Little girl, you are from another place! You don't know! A lot of refugees came to Xinjiang in the past few months. Our city lord is a good person. For our city lord's sake, people from ten miles and eight villages have donated a lot of food. , God is short-sighted. After autumn, it was a good time to harvest grain, but a lot of land was destroyed by a heavy rain, and the road to the south was blocked. Our common people's grain can only be boiled After this winter, these officers and soldiers are forced to sell grain, and they can’t do without it! If we don’t fight this battle, we will eat a lot of grain, and I don’t know how to get through this winter.” The more the boss said, the more desolate he was, and he burst into tears Wipe the tears from this cheek.

Strange to say, the 5 troops of the Qin army have been camping dozens of miles away from the city gate and have been reluctant to attack.The so-called, the three armies go first before the food and grass are used. If the food from outside is not brought in, the soldiers will be sallow and thin when they are hungry. border city.

Never sit still!
The Fu'an army camped on the outskirts of Jiangcheng City, not very far away, Bai Li walked in one direction and saw the rigorous army.

"Who? Stop!"

Before Bai Li could go in, she was stopped by the guard at the door.

"You, what are you doing!"

Bai Li held the basket and signaled, "I'll go in and deliver a meal, and then I'll leave."

The gatekeepers looked at each other, "Delivering food? Bring it for us to see." As they spoke, they wanted to come up to grab the basket in Bai Li's hand.

Bai Li quickly backed away, protecting the basket behind her back, and looked at the people in front of her vigilantly. The common people could not get enough to eat, let alone these soldiers.

"You ugly girl! You!" Seeing that the thing he wanted fell into the air, the guard immediately changed into a hungry wolf face, and wanted to go straight to Baili, but found that the collar on the back of his head seemed to be caught by something .

The two guards turned their heads to look frightened and quickly bowed their knees and called the boss.

"Hey, boss!"

Zhao Xiaolong turned his head, his black eyes rolled around the two of them, looking like a little gangster, "You two!"

"Boss! That mother-in-law has something to eat, we plan to snatch it to honor the boss!"

Zhao Xiaolong shook his legs, "Honor me with my things? You two really have a heart." As he spoke, he pushed the two of them, and they fell to the ground immediately, and then they rolled and crawled up. Arched his back and said with a hippie smile: "Boss, we don't know this mother-in-law, no! I slap my mouth, this girl! It's for you to deliver food, the little one has eyes and can't see Taishan! The little one deserves to die, the young one deserves to die!"

Zhao Xiaolong ignored them and just walked in front of Bai Li, looking at the basket with bright eyes, "What's the matter? Deliver food to that kid."

"En." Bai Li put the basket behind her back smoothly, she knew that Zhao Xiaolong would not snatch it, even though Zhao Xiaolong was a hooligan, he was a very principled hooligan.

Hearing Bai Li's answer, his bright eyes darkened and then bright again, "Let's go! I'll take you there."

Bai Li followed behind Zhao Xiaolong all the way, staring straight at him without any hint of fear, and kept silent.

Zhao Xiaolong is used to the groups of people around him who are flattering him, but walking with Bai Li is so quiet, he really can't get used to "Why don't you talk."

"You said that you want to get that kid into the barracks but not go into battle to kill the enemy, what do you think?!"

"That kid would pester me whenever he had a chance and let me go to another camp for him. If he knows it's you..."

Zhao Xiaolong said to himself, before you finished your words, you were too scared by Bai Li's gaze to continue.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Xiaolong pursed his mouth, "I shut up!" Zhao Xiaolong wondered in his heart, he was always fearless, but after that bet, he felt a little afraid of Bai Li in his heart.

Bai Li's bet was to let Zhao Xiaolong get Zhang Liang into the barracks, but Bai Li secretly asked Zhao Xiaolong to keep Zhang Liang from going to the battlefield. If Zhang Liang knew the truth, he would hate her to death.
