It was already more than half a month before we started on the road again, and the sky kept raining like a leak in the middle of the month. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in this arid and cold northwest border, it has not been encountered for many years. The carriage left the town and entered the mountains and forests, and arrived at a small town called Liulin at noon. Zhao Ruoyun and his party are very eye-catching in the streets full of homeless people. As soon as the heavy rain stopped, most of the people who came here were homeless people from the mountains near the town. The mountain here is high and steep, and the soil quality is special, and many residents dig holes directly in the rocks and live in a little rest. Heavy rain, such houses are particularly prone to collapse.

The mere people around it have overwhelmed this small town. The chaotic streets, most of the closed shops, the begging people, the cries, curses, and pleadings mingled. At noon, the group arrived at the largest inn in town. Tang Jue went in as a batch, and the others waited in place. Zhao Ruoyun felt stuffy in the car, so he got out of the car and stood on the side of the street to breathe. Although she was in the car, she couldn't see much of the situation on the road. She was very intelligent, and when she helped Rong Qi to seize the throne and board the plane, she mainly focused on personnel, money and food, and she had worked hard to study the population distribution, urban scale, and agricultural production of the Great Luo Dynasty, so it can be said that she was very familiar. Although it has been outside the country for eight years, the changes in agriculture and population are also very slow. The rain for more than half a month, combined with the surrounding terrain, population, agricultural production habits, and the situation in this period of time, Zhao Ruoyun basically calculated the surrounding disaster situation in his heart. It's just that she doesn't know how big the damage is, and she sighed slightly in her heart. After thinking about it for a moment, she felt a little dizzy, so she closed her eyes and calmed down. Su Ji saw that her face was not good, and called softly to the side, "County Lord." Zhao Ruoyun turned his head sideways, smiled at him and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

At this time, there was a cry not far behind them, and in search of prestige, there was a woman holding a girl of four or five years old under the root of the house, crying. The girl's face was pale and yellow, and she was drowsy, apparently suffering from some kind of illness. Zhao Ruoyun walked up to the woman and asked, it was easy for the lady to control her crying, and looked at Zhao Ruoyun, Zhao Ruoyun inherited her mother's appearance, and people who saw her would not think that she was a stunning beauty, but if you look carefully, she is definitely a first-class beautiful beauty, not to mention that in this place full of homeless people, the appearance of such a beautiful and freshly dressed woman is really beyond the woman's expectations. She froze, as if judging whether the person in front of her was real, as if questioning whether he was talking to her.

Zhao Ruoyun didn't wait for her to answer, she touched the child's forehead deeply, and looked at the child's chapped lips carefully, "Then he said that the child has diarrhea?" ”

This time, the woman seemed to understand immediately, grabbed Zhao Ruoyun's hand, and pleaded, "Save my child, please save my child." ”

"You get up first and bring the child over!" Zhao Ruoyun turned around and walked towards the inn, Su Ji supported the woman and followed with the child in her arms.

This is Tang Jue is also arranging things and walking towards them. "Lord Tang, this child is sick, would you like to help?" Although Zhao Ruoyun asked, he knew that Tang Jue would answer. These days, she has often gossiped with Tang Jue, probably knowing his origin, and feeling that he is kind and benevolent. Tang Jue really said immediately, of course, Zhao Ruoyun asked the woman to sit at a square table with the child in her arms, and she stood on one side, Tang Jue was checking the child's pulse, and Zhao Ruoyun asked, "This lady, where are you from?" Is the child really sick? ”

The woman couldn't help but wipe her tears and replied, "My husband's surname is Cao, and his family lives on a mountain fifteen miles northwest of Liulin Town. My husband came to Liulin Town three months to work and never returned, and the family house collapsed and could not live, so I took the child to Masato to find her father. After looking for two days, there was no news of his father. The night before yesterday, my child said that she had a stomachache, and I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then the pain was so severe that my stomach was swollen, so I took her to the town hospital to see a doctor. I spent all the money on my doctor and medicine, but after taking the medicine, my child's stomach was not swollen but the diarrhea did not stop. I couldn't wake up this morning. I took her to the hospital again, but the hospital closed its doors and fled because there were too many homeless people who asked for medical treatment, and most of them couldn't afford to pay for it. As she spoke, the woman could not help but weep again.

After listening to her, Zhao Ruoyun was not surprised, and did not show much sadness, this kind of experience is not so tragic and bizarre among the displaced refugees, how many of the hundreds of displaced people outside are separated from their wives, broken families, and separated by yin and yang? Zhao Ruoyun looked at Tang Jue, Tang Jue had already finished diagnosing the pulse and said to Mrs. Cao: "Women don't have to worry, the child's abdominal distension may have eaten something indigestible a few days ago, and the doctor in the hospital prescribed the medicine to dissipate it is also symptomatic, but it may be because the child is small and has a relatively large reaction to the medicine, so he has diarrhea symptoms." Diarrhea followed by prostration, although dangerous, is not hopeless. ”

After Mrs. Zhao heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and Zhao Ruoyun said while helping her up, "It's not the time to kowtow to treat the child first." This Dr. Tang has superb medical skills, and he will definitely take care of the child with a kind heart, so you can rest assured that you will go to rest first and hand over the child to him. Su Ji knew that Zhao Ruoyun was afraid that Mrs. Cao would cry and cry here and get in the way, so he coaxed and persuaded her to take her away.

The little girl's illness was not difficult to treat, Tang Jue first applied needles to stop diarrhea, prescribed some medicine to regulate the stomach and intestines, and then asked Mrs. Cao to feed her more water, and it didn't take long for her to deal with it.

Zhao Ruoyun kept watching him finish all this on the stool next to him, and did not immediately go back to the room to rest. After everything was dealt with, Cao's mother and daughter also found another room and arranged to stay, Tang Jue came over and said, "Does the county lord have something to say to the lower officials?" ”

Zhao Ruoyun smiled again, seeing that Tang Jue should be confident, thoughtful, and skilled just now, it seems that he has made a lot of progress in affairs recently. can also see at a glance that he has something to say to him, and Zhao Ruoyun feels more and more that this person is smart and has unlimited development in the future.

"Lord Tang, did you hear what Mrs. Cao said just now? This town is not big, and there are too many displaced people, and it is normal for ordinary medical centers to cope with it. Now that most of the people who have flocked to this town have lost their homes, if they suffer from illness again, can Lord Tang be willing to help? Zhao Ruoyun glanced at Tang Jue, only to see a gleam in his eyes, and he knew that he had thought of it with himself, but he couldn't mention it because of his identity and task.

Tang Jue thought for a while and said: "What the county lord said is exact, the purpose of Xiaguan's trip this time is to take the county lord back to Beijing." A while ago, it had been delayed by heavy rain for many days, and there was no reason to delay it any longer. “

"I'm just asking if you're willing to help?" Zhao Ruoyun said again with determination.

This time, Tang Jue did not hesitate for long, and said with certainty: "The minister is willing." ”

"You just have to prepare to arrange the treatment and save people, and I will take care of the rest."

"Yes." Tang Jue didn't know how Zhao Ruoyun was going to explain, he agreed, firstly, he felt that these refugees were indeed pitiful, and secondly, his intuition after seeing Zhao Ruoyun for the first time, he felt that Zhao Ruoyun must be credible and trustworthy, and he was very willing to do something with her.

After Tang Jue left, Zhao Ruoyun returned to the room, took out a pen and paper, thought about it, and began to write a letter. The letter was written to Prince Qing, who was the sixth prince of the year, Rong Qing. They hadn't seen each other for eight years, and although they only had a general situation with each other, they hadn't exchanged any letters. One is because the silent interrogation that took away Zhao Ruoyun does not want her to have any dealings with Da Luo Dynasty, and the other is because Zhao Ruoyun feels that he may never be able to go back, and if they are always thinking about it, it is better to disappear slowly. However, what he didn't know was that although she had information coming out, the current emperor exchanged letters with him every year.

Since eight years ago, the two met at the border, it can be said that they sympathize with each other, and over the years there has been no war between the two countries, each of them has recuperated, and the emperor and the silent interrogator have also maintained several letters a year in a semi-official form. Rong Qi's letter would ask about Zhao Ruoyun's recent situation from time to time, and he also told him truthfully. This time, he was willing to send Zhao Ruoyun back, and Rong Qi was also the first to learn about it in the letters of the two.

Zhao Ruoyun sent a letter to Rong Qing, first reporting the disaster she had seen, and then talking about her and Tang Jue's decision. Please ask the emperor and the court to deal with it more, and also roughly calculated the materials that may be needed and asked Lord Qing to help coordinate. After finishing a matter, she thought about it again and added, "I'll be fine, please don't read it, I look forward to seeing you." Then he sealed the letter and asked someone to send it to Beijing as soon as possible. It takes half a month for a convoy to travel from Liulin Town to the capital, and it takes about three or four days if it is a fast horse. Zhao Ruoyun estimates that it will be seven or eight days soon, and about ten days if it is slow, and he should see a reply.

Here, Tang Jue arranged for medical treatment, first chartered the inn where they lived, and then sent people to the nearby town to collect medicinal materials as much as possible. Tang Jue is naturally mainly responsible for treating people, and all other matters are taken care of by Su Ji.

The next day, their half-finished medical clinic opened, and they did not charge money for medical treatment, only some medicinal materials. For patients who do not have a place to live, on the first floor of the inn, spread some licorice for them to rest, and help them decoction medicine on the spot. Tang Jue and the others did not involve Zhao Ruoyun in this officer, however, there was a lack of female dependents in their team, as long as there was a Gui Zhi and a Mrs. Cao who took the initiative to ask to join. When I met some female patients who needed to change dressings and other things, I was really busy. Zhao Ruoyun unconsciously joined the busy crowd. On the first day, more and more people came to inquire on the second day. Tang Jue often went to various disaster areas and epidemic areas in previous years, and he was all alone, but now he has a helper to deal with it more easily. The others, except for Zhao Ruoyun, Gui Zhi and Mrs. Cao, were all strong men who were one in a hundred when they went out on this mission, and they were also comfortable after gradually getting started. Gui Zhi and Mrs. Cao are both people with no such experience, and it is inevitable that there will be some confusion when there are many female patients who need help. Zhao Ruoyun helped them take care of the overall situation, and at the same time, he had to guide them from time to time.

On the third day, at 10 o'clock in the night, the crowd gradually dispersed, and most people hurried to catch up on sleep. Tang Jue stood up, stretched his waist and was about to go back to the room to sleep for a while, when he turned around and saw Zhao Ruoyun sitting on a stool in the corner and asleep at the table outside. Gui Zhi is really a careless girl who doesn't know how to take care of people, Tang Jue thought to herself. He walked over and saw that Zhao Ruoyun was breathing steadily and sleeping very deeply, and he sat down and put his hand lightly on her wrist. Zhao Ruoyun's veins were vain, it should be caused by being too tired, but Tang Jue still didn't dare to think about it tomorrow, no matter what, he would lock her in the room and rest for a day.

"County Lord." Tang Jue called softly. Zhao Ruoyun snorted evenly and was still asleep. It seemed that she had fallen asleep and couldn't wake up. After the last time he was in distress, Zhao Ruoyun also slept in a drowsy mood for a long time.

Tang Jue hesitated for a long time and had no other choice, so he had to pick up Zhao Ruoyun and go to the room. Pushing open the door, I found that Gui Zhi, the girl, was sleeping on the table in the room. Tang Jue was also helpless, woke her up, and then put Zhao Ruoyun on the bed and instructed Gui Zhi a few words before going out.

As Tang Jue expected, Zhao Ruoyun slept until dinner the next day. She woke up with only herself in the room, and she didn't know how she fell asleep in bed. After lying on the bed for a while, Zhao Ruoyun pushed open the door and came to the lobby downstairs. The number of patients has stabilized today, and there are few patients left as soon as it gets dark. Everyone is eating, after a few days, everyone knows each other a lot, Tang Jue and Su Ji, the two high-ranking officials, have no shelf, everything is their own first, and they are very loved by everyone. So for a while, the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious and warm. Zhao Ruoyun stood for a long time before anyone saw her.

"County Lord, you're here." Everyone saluted. Zhao Ruoyun smiled gently, and smoothly integrated himself into this warm scene.

"Feel free, you've worked hard today, I just woke up and sat here to settle down."

"Yesterday, Liu Yuan from Nancheng came to see a doctor and said that he had a stomachache. Originally, we only treated the poor who were affected by the disaster, and he didn't count, but he said that he was in a terrible pain, and other medical centers were far away, so Tang Daren showed him kindness and confiscated the money. It's really kind and rewarding, today Liu Yuanwai sent someone to send us two live chickens, as well as his homemade pickles. He said that his master was cured of illness as a token of gratitude. Originally, Lord Tang said that he didn't need it, but in the end he still kept it, these two big roosters were okay to say, their homemade pickles were really delicious. I heard that it is also famous here. We had already tasted it at noon. "The one who spoke was called Jinzi, and he was the youngest among the people who came out of the trip this time, and he had the most lively temperament.

As he spoke, a large pot of stewed chicken was served, and needless to say, the two big roosters must have been inside. Although everyone was looking forward to it, after all, they were trained officials, and they all restrained themselves and waited for Tang Jue to speak. Some of them snapped their chopsticks. Tang Jue also knew that everyone had worked hard in the past few days, so he waved his hand and said, "Eat." ”

More than 20 men crowded around the two tables, so it was not lively. Tang Jue and Zhao Ruoyun set up a table separately, and they originally wanted to stay with them. Su Ji insisted on joining the battle to grab food, saying that it was too good to eat with them. Mrs. Cao thought about her daughter and went back to the house to eat. Zhao Ruoyun called Gui Zhi over to eat with her and Tang Jue.

Before it started, Tang Jue first said, "The rooster meat is not easy to digest, and the county lord should eat less." The minister boiled chicken soup for the county lord, and the county lord could taste it first. ”

"Lord Tang, you still bother to remember me after working so hard."

"Where, has the county lord forgotten that you are also my patient?"

Zhao Ruoyun nodded in a sudden realization and took a sip of chicken soup. "The taste of this chicken soup 。。。。。"

"Oh, I've added a few herbs to it, or it may be beneficial to the county lord's body. Why doesn't it taste good? Tang Jue looked at her expression and said.

"It tastes good, too!" Zhao Ruoyun took a sip of soup and ate some side dishes. Biting his lip, he glanced at the plate of stewed chicken.

Tang Jue smiled and said, "Haha, I just asked the county lord to eat less, and I didn't let you eat it." As he spoke, he picked a piece of meat and put it in Zhao Ruoyun's bowl.

Zhao Ruoyun smiled, "Originally, I didn't like to eat meat, but today I saw them snatching it up, it seemed to be very delicious, and I felt itchy in my heart." ”

I didn't expect Zhao Ruoyun to be so childlike, Tang Jue said, "The county lord wants to eat it, anyway, I didn't find out that you listened to the doctor very much." ”

"Are you blaming me?!" Zhao Ruoyun said while chewing the meat, at this time, she really didn't have any royal woman's manners. Tang Jue also felt more and more that this was different from the other imperial relatives he had come into contact with, but it was difficult to evaluate for a while.

"Even if it is, the county lord's own body is not stronger than ordinary people, he should know this. You still have to take good care of yourself. ”

"Oh, got it." Zhao Ruoyun was also in a good mood today, and he didn't distinguish anything from Tang Jue.

"County Lord, don't come down tomorrow to take care of others, it's better to recuperate by yourself."

"I..." Zhao Ruoyun wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back, anyway, there won't be too many people to see the doctor tomorrow, Gui Zhi and Mrs. Cao are gradually becoming more powerful, and they can't use her if they think about it, even if they listen to Tang Jue, it doesn't hurt.
