I yawned and said to Xiao Ning, "It's so late, you don't rest?" ”

Without waiting for him to speak, I grabbed the topic and said, "You must have slept enough in the car, since that's the case, help me clean up the mess." ”

"You're idle."

Putting down the scorched pot in my hand, I stepped out of the threshold of the large kitchen, walked into the lobby of the ground floor, picked a wooden table, and put my head on my elbow to sleep.

Xiao Ning in the large kitchen looked angrily and funny at the direction where his back was gone

Before dawn, I opened my eyes and saw the light on the table, Xiao Ning sitting on one side, and what was written on the paper on the table.

"Morning." I stretched, only to realize that I had a robe of his.

"Give me your hand." I whispered to Xiao Ning, the corners of his mouth moved, and I raised my hand to him, and I put it on his pulse.

"You're looking better than you did yesterday, isn't that weird?" I muttered.

Xiao Ning raised his head and looked at me, his eyes staring: "What's so strange about this, the medicine is here." ”

I was stunned for a second, then I realized what he meant, shook my head and said, "I'm a doctor, not a medicine." ”

His head leaned closer to where he was sitting, and he looked at the piece of paper spread out on the table.

"What are you writing about?"

"Don't you sleep all night?"

"Xiao Ning?"

"I must have slept enough in the car, so I didn't need to sleep." He snatched me back from what I had said last night, and I glared at him.

"Xiao Ling'er." Xiao Ning folded the letter in his hand and handed it to me, his eyelashes flashed, and he looked at me and said, "You go to Jianghuai, enter Beicheng, if you have something, come here to find me directly." ”

I read the address written on it, my eyes stopped on his face, and I leaned back in my chair. "Do you still have a house in Jianghuai North?"

As soon as the words came out, I felt that I was redundant, Jianghuai is an important town, and the royal family will have another residence. Actually, there is nothing to be surprised about.

"Thanks," I coughed, tucked the letter in my arms, turned my eyes back to the sky outside the window, saw that the rain was still continuing, and sighed, "Look at this situation, it's still raining on the road." ”

"Xiao Ning, the convoy of our medical hall will leave early in the morning."

"There is not much way to get to Jianghuai. You remember to eat on time along the way, don't pick things up, go out, and collect your noble son's pie. ”

"Your son?" Xiao Ning glanced at me coldly, and finally a trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes. "Who told me to clean up the mess last night, you slept and slept all your head in a daze?"

Seeing that a popping chestnut was about to hit me on the head, he magically withdrew his hand again.

"Hey, why are you so careful, you see that you don't sleep, you always have to find something to do." "That's right." He couldn't help laughing. His deep eyes stared at me, and he said in a gentle tone, "It's not like you, in such a place, you can sleep until dawn as soon as you pour it on the table." ”

"There was food in the kitchen. Go get it yourself, and your master should be waking up soon. ”

Master Chen took the porridge I served and tasted it, it was smooth and soft. A little surprised: "Did you do it?" ”

"Sort of, sort of." I tugged at the corners of my mouth and asked flatteringly, "How's it going, teacher?" ”

"It's not like you can make it taste."

I turned my face sideways, glanced at Master Chen, and turned my head expressionlessly, pretending to be calm.

But he couldn't hide the embarrassment in his tone and said, "Teacher, you can't help but say it." ”

Chen Shi laughed, he rested all night, soaked his legs and feet in medicinal soup last night, and now he looks much better: "Xiaolin, set off in a while, you prepare, and call the people in the team to prepare too." ”

I folded back to the large kitchen with the tray and walked down the walkway on the ground floor to the empty wooden escalator, leaning back and muttering to myself, "Don't you be so capable?" ”

Unexpectedly, he not only cleaned up the mess, but also made breakfast

The carriage continued on the road, through the rain curtain, through the streets of the town.

After passing the small city, the road to Jianghuai is just a large plain, and the road condition is much better than that from Yingtian.

I sat next to the driver the day before, just like the day before.

Looking at the forests and fields beside the road moving back, this way until the northern suburbs of Jianghuai outside the city, we did not encounter any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and we were unexpected.

But the closer you get to Jianghuai, the more you feel a sense of urgency.

I always felt like I was about to fight a big battle, and even the dart master around me raised his spirits and stopped laughing casually.

The procession of carriages became quiet, but faster than ever.

After noon, the car climbed all the way along the slope, and finally arrived in the north of Jianghuai and officially entered the city.

In terms of topography, Jianghuai City is different from other cities, divided into Jianghuai and Jianghuai North, separated by the Great River.

It means that this city happens to be composed of two parts, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Jiangbei is a mountain city, and Jiangnan is built on the plain

On the evening of arriving in the mountain city of Jianghuaibei, Chen Shi contacted the old friend of the shopkeeper of Renshantang here.

Coming in through the city gate, I inquired with the guards guarding the city to confirm the location.

After turning two streets, we arrived in the center of Jianghuai North, his family's house was on a rather prosperous street in the city, the house was not small, and I and Chen Shi and the people from the medical hall team temporarily lived in that person's home.

The other party runs a business 50 miles away and has a few shops in the local area.

On such an occasion, I was reluctant to participate, so Master Chen discussed with him in the study about the establishment of the Renshantang branch, and I arranged for the brothers and handymen assigned to the medical hall, and settled the accounts with the dart master of the Yingtian Dart Bureau who escorted us.

The rain has been falling, and after many days of driving, this moment is the most relaxing.

I soaked my body in the tub, took a comfortable hot shower, and then sorted out the medical books that I brought with me.

The empty shelves of the room lent to us were quickly filled with medical books, and the top floor was the acupuncture equipment brought by Master Chen.

When I went to check the placement of my brothers, I found that the room was empty, so I went to the side hall to eat.

I walked around the garden and went to find Master Chen.

Two large round tables were placed in the side hall, and this meal was a reception banquet given to us by the old friends of the shopkeeper.

I'm not good at drinking, but I just ordered them to go through three rounds of drinking. After all the introductions were introduced, I turned to the main topic.

Master Chen told the other party that I was his youngest disciple, so the master was very polite to me.

The topic is naturally closely related to the water of Jianghuai.

Somehow, I noticed something strange from the moment I entered the city.

It was originally in my imagination. The mountain city of Jianghuai North should be home to a large number of victims, the city may be chaotic, or the price of goods has risen, in short, on the way here, there has never been an optimistic expectation of the situation here.

However, when I arrived, I found that not only was there no large number of victims in the city as I had imagined, but the streets were not even lively.

Isn't this too weird, but what about the victims in Jianghuai and the nearby residents of the neighboring towns?

Looking out the window at the heavy rain that kept falling, the brothers and sisters gathered in the room where Master Chen and I lived were silent.

Just now, the owner of this place has already told us about the cause and effect. I still can't come back to my senses, but I think about it, they are the same. "Teacher," he thought for a moment, his hand clenched into a fist. Slowly letting go, I finally opened my mouth with difficulty, "This can't be done, before we came, we didn't know that the local officials in Jianghuai handled the victims in this way." ”

I still remember our shock when the owner of the house spoke!

"No wonder I came out of Yingtian, and the first team of displaced people I met said that they would also go to Yingtian. Ask the reason and say it is vague. ”

"I didn't expect that the victims were trapped directly in Jianghuai, and there was no response to let them cross the river."

I walked to the table, picked up the teapot on the table, took a small white porcelain cup, and poured a cup of tea for Master Chen.

Looking at the mist rising from the tea. I lowered my voice and said:

"Teacher, I understand that what the owner of the house said must be the truth, but what I can't figure out the most is that if the officials of the DPRK and China go to the front line, they will go to Jianghuai. How will the government here respond? ”

Master Chen's face was not necessarily much easier, after all, everyone knew the task he had to carry on this trip.

According to the current situation, if we stay in the north of Jianghuai, this Renshantang medical center can be built, but it is far from being as we imagined, and it can benefit the people of Jianghuai who were affected by the disaster.

Chen Shi said in a low tone: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold up the officials of the DPRK and China." “

I handed the tea to Master Chen, who took a sip and continued: "There is a road, and there is no means to cross the river, except for a few victims who can bypass the checkpoints of the government and venture to cross the river, you can see that the heavy rain has not stopped, and the flood has risen very quickly. ”

"When the time comes, those who are trapped there"

What Master Chen didn't finish, we all understand.

He changed his words again and said meaningfully: "Besides, there is no news from the officials who came from Ying Tianlai, so I don't know if the people sent by him will be willing to risk going to the south bank?" ”

"One side wants to hide it, the other side wants to be perfunctory, who knows if it will be complicit?"

"It's not without precedent."

I glanced at Master Chen with solemn eyes, and looked at the rain outside the window silently, I knew that what he said was the truth.

"The emperor is far away, and it's hard to say how the officials will deal with it when they get to the local area."

These words made my heart move, the only difference this time is only I know at present, because it is Xiao Ning who came

According to the owner of the house, the heavy rain has come down for a few days, and the Jianghuai City in the south has long become a Ze country, and there are very few people who can survive.

The more people the court set aside for disaster relief, the greater the reason for opening the money

The weather was gloomy, just like I am now.

Master Chen put his hands behind his back, walked around the room with an anxious expression, and stopped at the table.

He glanced at the people who were looking at him, and after hesitating, he said, "Look, do you want to find a boat, cross the river in danger, and go to Jianghuai City for a walk?" ”
