"Get inside, all of you!"

"Hurry up!"

Lu Qiqi and her group, carrying their bundles, were driven to a village not far from Tianxin Village by soldiers early in the morning.

"Don't push! Don't push!"

"We are doctors, not criminals. You can't treat us like this!"

Dr. Ma was shoved a few times by the soldiers and couldn't help but argue with them.

Two days ago, they were treated as honored guests by the villagers of Tianxin Village, who brought them all sorts of delicious food and drinks to their courtyard.

Not long after, he was treated like a prisoner by these soldiers and escorted to another village suffering from the plague.

The gate of the village has the words "Tianlong Village" written on it. Not far from the gate, many villagers are standing and looking towards the village entrance.

Looking at the villagers, Lu Qiqi roughly guessed what was going on.

It should be the villagers of Tianxin Village who have recovered, and these villagers are all waiting for them to come and treat them.

However, these villagers were destined to be disappointed.

Because most of the ginseng was used to treat the villagers of Tianxin Village, there is very little ginseng left in the space.

Even though she has replanted the ginseng, the villagers in the remaining villages can't wait for the ginseng to be planted before they can treat their illnesses.

Li Changlong walked up to Lu Qiqi and said, "Our horses and Wangcai are still in Tianxin Village, what should we do?"

Lu Qiqi didn't think it was a big deal; the carriage wouldn't be lost if it stayed in Tianxin Village.

Wangcai had already been taken back into her spatial storage, and was probably already rolling around on the grass by now.

She said, "Brother Lu will take good care of it for us."

Since things had come to this point, there was nothing more that could be done, so Li Changlong said nothing more.

The group entered the village, but the fence at the entrance was closed again, just like when they first went to Tianxin Village.

It's just that this scene has played out once again.

Doctor Luo walked beside Lu Qiqi, supported by Doctor Huang, but he refused to admit he was old and repeatedly pushed Doctor Huang's hand away, insisting on walking on his own.

Dr. Huang patiently helped him up without a single complaint.

Doctor Qin felt a pang of bitterness when he thought of the medicinal herbs on the oxcart behind. He said, "Miss Lu, there's no ginseng in these herbs. What should we do?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qiqi said, "Ginseng is used later. Let's treat the villagers' mild symptoms first and see if we can find a way to make up for the deficit."

If it can't be fixed, then we'll see if the government really intends to let it go.

Dr. Qin sighed and nodded slowly.

He felt incredibly nostalgic whenever he thought of the scene in Tianxin Village where Lu Qiqi took out half a basket of ginseng.

If only there were another wealthy and powerful benefactor willing to lend a helping hand again.

However, he only thought about it. This was something the government should do. How could he expect a kind person to keep spending a lot of money to do good deeds without expecting anything in return?

"These must be the doctors who cured the plague in Tianxin Village. That's wonderful! Our village is saved."

Someone shouted, and the villagers standing under the gatehouse began to cheer and jump for joy, as if they had been cured.

Lu Qiqi saw a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the villagers, a hope she had never seen before when she first arrived in Tianxin Village.

In this situation, she originally wanted to mention that she had come here because she didn't have enough medicinal herbs.

Now I can't bring myself to say it; it's like a lump in my throat. I don't want to shatter their hope for recovery.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse black cloth stepped out from the crowd.

He stepped forward and said, “Doctors, you’ve come all this way, thank you for your hard work. I am Tian Dalong, the village chief of Tianlong Village.”

"I'll be troubling you these days. If there's anything you need, just let me know and I'll arrange it."

"By the way, the villagers have specially set aside a few courtyards so that it will be more convenient for you to stay."

With just a few words, Tian Dalong revealed his identity as the village chief. Lu Qiqi glanced at him; it was good to have someone in charge in the village, as it would make things easier.

She said, "Thank you very much, village chief. Please lead the way."

The village chief quickly settled them into four courtyards.

Unlike the villagers of Tianxin Village, most of the villagers in Tianlong Village are too sick to get out of bed, so they have no choice but to live in the ancestral hall for the convenience of taking care of each other.

Instead, they each live in their own houses, and it's already quite an achievement that they were able to free up four courtyards.

Lu Qiqi and the others naturally had nothing to say; it was much better than a dozen people sleeping on the floor and crammed together.

Upon arriving at Tianlong Village, it was impossible to immediately arrange for someone to examine and treat the patient. In any case, there was no rush, and it wouldn't be a problem to rest and treat the patient tomorrow.

After the village chief left, Doctor Huang said, "Since that's the case, let's make the best of it. Let's settle into our courtyards and get ready to stay first."

There are four courtyards, and each courtyard has three rooms, which means there are twelve rooms in total.

Lu Qiqi, Li Changlong, and Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't be separated; they lived in the same house, occupying two rooms.

There was one more room, which was given to Dr. Luo and Dr. Huang.

The remaining three courtyards were freely allocated and set up by a dozen or so doctors.

As evening approached, Village Chief Tian and several villagers came to knock on the door.

At this moment, Li Changlong, Zhou Yi, and several other doctors were busy cooking in the courtyard.

When they saw the villagers carrying two cages into the yard, everyone straightened their backs, wanting to see what was going on.

With a smile on his face, Village Chief Tian pointed to an open space in the yard and said, "Let's put it here."

Following Village Chief Tian's instructions, the villagers put down the two cages. Before Li Changlong could speak, Village Chief Tian said, "The doctors have worked hard. This is a small token of our appreciation from the villagers. Please accept it."

"There are still things in the village that I need to check on, so I won't stay any longer."

After the village chief clasped his hands in greeting, he led the villagers away.

It perfectly embodies the phrase "bustling and energetic".

"Brother Long, what should we do about this?"

Through the gaps in the bamboo cage, you can see that there is a cage of chickens and a cage of ducks inside.

Li Changlong stepped forward, lifted the cage lid, and counted the cage members.

There are six chickens and six ducks in total.

He was impressed by Tianlong Village's generosity, but also somewhat worried.

A young doctor also asked, "We've come here and haven't done anything yet, but we've already accepted gifts from the villagers. What if they find out that we're missing one ingredient and can't cure the illness?"

Another doctor said, "Are you stupid? Just because he brings it here, does that mean we have to eat it? Let's leave it for now. If they use this as leverage, we'll return it to them."

These doctors, who had been fed so well by the villagers of Tianxin Village these past few days that they were quite succulent and no longer craved meat, quickly offered their advice.

Li Changlong took the two doctors' words to heart and felt that this was the only way forward.

He said, "Let's leave it. The two doctors are right. Let's just let it rest for now."

"Go back and cook first. Everyone has been busy all day. Eat early so you can rest. We still need to treat the people in Tianlong Village tomorrow morning."
