Li Rongrong stayed in Longchuan County for a week, so there was no need to check these things. She could find out what Zhao Tuo had ordered people to do by just asking around.

However, Longchuan County was remote and the emperor was far away, and Zhao Tuo controlled the army, so no one dared to resist. Even the newspaper that Qin Shihuang had ordered to be published was pretended to be obeyed by Zhao Tuo.

"Madam Li, these are the potato pancakes I just made. I'll give you some to try." Li Rongrong was just thinking when Madam Zhang came over with a few pancakes.

"Thank you, Madam Zhang."

She has been living in Longchuan County for three days, and during these three days she has been staying at Zhang's house. Mrs. Zhang is a widow with no children and only a sick brother, and is in urgent need of money.

She also gave Qin Banliang some money to let him stay here, just to help out.

"My maiden name is Zhang Yiyi, you can just call me Yiyi." Zhang Yiyi smiled and said as she handed her the potato pancake.

"Okay, thank you Yi Yi. Then you can call me Rongrong too." After Li Rongrong thanked with a smile, she tasted the potato pancake. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was really delicious.

Unexpectedly, the potatoes that were first given to Fusu were also grown on a large scale in Longchuan County.

Although Zhao Tuo wanted to establish himself as king, he was quite capable in executing government orders.

...

...

Apart from heavy taxation and the use of various "reasonable" means to oppress the people, there is nothing else wrong with it.

Li Rongrong thought about it and ate faster.

Zhang Yiyi smiled more when she saw this. "After my parents and husband passed away, I didn't have many close friends. Now I'm happy to see you."

The two chatted for a few words, and then Zhang Yiyi's younger brother, a little boy with big, blinking eyes, staggered over, holding half a potato pancake and looking at them curiously.

The little boy's name is Zhang Xiaobao. His face looks a little pale due to his illness, but his eyes are full of innocence and vitality.

"Xiaobao, come here, let sister hug you." Zhang Yiyi greeted him gently, handed him a potato pancake, and gently held him in her arms.

Xiaobao took the cake and nibbled it in small bites. He did not forget to look at Li Rongrong with his big eyes, as if he was full of curiosity about her new guest.

Li Rongrong looked at the brother and sister, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She gently touched Xiaobao's head and said with a smile, "Xiaobao is so good. Sister has some candy here. Do you want some?" As she said that, she took out a candy from the small bag she carried with her and handed it to Xiaobao.

When Xiaobao saw the candy, his eyes lit up, but then he looked at his sister, as if asking for her opinion.

Zhang Yiyi was touched when she saw this. She said to Xiaobao softly, "Xiaobao, this is given to you by Sister Li, just take it." Xiaobao then took the candy, carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and a satisfied smile bloomed on his face.

"Yi Yi, has Xiaobao's illness been treated by a doctor?" Li Rongrong asked with concern.

She noticed these two days that Xiaobao's illness might be asthma.

In ancient times, asthma was an almost incurable disease, but I still wanted to do my best for this pair of siblings.

"doctor?"

"It's the witch doctor."

Zhang Yiyi's eyes dimmed when she heard this. She sighed and said, "I've consulted a government witch doctor, but he said this disease is difficult to treat and requires long-term care. But where can we afford to buy those expensive herbs?" As she spoke, her eyes slightly reddened.

Li Rongrong felt sad when she saw Zhang Yiyi was in a low mood.

She gently patted the back of Zhang Yiyi's hand and said softly, "Yiyi, don't be too sad. There will always be a way. Perhaps I can help you find out if there are other witch doctors with excellent medical skills who can cure Xiaobao's illness."

Zhang Yiyi heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but then dimmed again. She smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know, although Longchuan County is big, even witch doctors are only available in the government."

Li Rongrong thought to herself that it seemed that after the meeting with Fusu, the establishment of a government hospital in Daqin would have to be put on the agenda.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said to Zhang Yiyi, "Yiyi, don't worry. Since I said I would help, I will definitely do my best. I have read some records about asthma in books. Maybe we can try some diet therapy or simple massage methods to stabilize Xiaobao's condition first."

Li Rongrong has a cousin who suffers from asthma. She had lived in her cousin's house for a period of time before. At that time, she happened to have learned massage techniques for a period of time, which she could use.

After hearing this, Zhang Yiyi's eyes sparkled again. She held Li Rongrong's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Rongrong, you are really our savior! If Xiaobao's illness can get better, I... I really don't know how to repay you."

Li Rongrong patted Zhang Yiyi's hand gently and said with a smile, "Yiyi, you're welcome. It's fate that we met. Besides, I like Xiaobao very much, and I'm happy to be able to do something for him."

In the next few days, Li Rongrong started to get busy.

She and Zhang Yiyi went to the mountains to collect some herbs that were beneficial for asthma, and boiled them into a decoction for Xiaobao to take.

At the same time, she also taught Zhang Yiyi some simple massage techniques to help Xiaobao relieve the symptoms of coughing and wheezing.

As time went by, Xiaobao's condition improved significantly.

His complexion gradually became rosy, and the frequency of his coughing and wheezing decreased significantly.

Zhang Yiyi was so happy watching Xiaobao recover that she couldn't express it in words. She held Li Rongrong's hand and thanked her over and over again, tears of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Li Rongrong was also filled with relief when she saw Xiaobao's transformation.

These methods can only alleviate the problem, but being able to help this pair of siblings can be considered a fate that they met.

Of course, Li Rongrong did more than just these days. When she entered Longchuan County, she was allowed in without checking her household registration.

As a result, she had to check her household registration to leave the city, and now she was completely trapped in Longchuan County. If Fusu couldn't find her in a few days, the most risky way would be to go to Zhao Tuo.

However, he was uncertain about Zhao Tuo's attitude. He appeared alone in Longchuan County and had a relationship with Fusu. If Zhao Tuo was bolder, he might have killed him.

The only thing we can do now is to wait.

I didn't expect that the two of us would be separated, and I didn't keep two walkie-talkies with me. I still regret it now.

"Rongrong, can you please take a look at what's written in this newspaper? I just saw others discussing it outside, so I brought a copy back." Zhang Yiyi walked over with great interest, holding a copy of the Daqin official newspaper.

Two days ago, she found out that Zhang Yi Yi was illiterate, so she taught her a few words. Unexpectedly, that night Zhang Yi Yi brought back a newspaper and asked her to teach her how to read.

This teaching lasted for several days, and Li Rongrong was happy to help her.

Zhang Yiyi was different from other women she had met in Daqin. She was strong, passionate and motivated.
