The captain of the guards said nothing more, but just reminded: "Do it well and be careful."
"I understand." Xu Tianchong bowed to him, turned around, lowered his eyes and restrained his expression.
He followed his attendants and carried the porridge bucket into the temple.
Those who can walk come to line up and help distribute porridge.
Xu Tian had some free time. He stood beside the long queue to maintain order and glanced at the patients lying in the Buddhist hall.
He scooped a bowl of porridge and walked to the side of an old man who was leaning against the wall and talking to someone.
"I was told that the prince would definitely not ignore us and would do everything he could to find medicine to cure our illness!"
"Yes, the prince is a very good man. I thought our temple was the last peaceful place before his death."
"Who would have thought! The prince actually used such an expensive medicine on us!"
Xu Tian came over and handed over the bowl, "Old man, you haven't had the rice porridge yet, right? This bowl is for you."
"Thank you, young man." The old man took the bowl of porridge from his hand and thanked him.
He moved his body, revealing his legs without feet under the quilt, and saw Xu Tian glance at his legs.
He smiled and said, "Young man, I injured my leg on the battlefield."
"The old man is brave and a role model for our generation."
"Hey, I don't deserve it." The old man smiled and waved his hand.
Xu Tian asked again: "I wonder what your last name is."
"My last name is He, so you can call me Uncle He." The old man blew on the rice soup in the bowl and sipped it around the edge of the bowl.
Xu Tian glanced at him and sat down next to the old man.
"I just heard you say that the prince found some herbs to treat your illness. Is that true?" he asked tentatively.
"I just started working and didn't know about this."
The old man was in high spirits: "Of course it's true! We both drank the medicine this morning and just now."
"The medicine the prince gave me is really good. After drinking it, my body feels warm, and my originally dry stomach feels full. Look, we all have the strength to speak now."
"I was just surprised that at this time when herbs are so precious, His Majesty can actually use them to treat everyone." Xu Tian glanced at him and continued to ask.
"I heard that the prefectural governor's residence and the other village don't have these herbs at all. Where do you think the prince got these herbs from?"
This morning he received news that the patients who were housed in the temple by King Jin had begun receiving medicine for treatment.
Some time ago, he sneaked into the villa to inquire, but he had not heard that there were any herbs in the prefectural government.
The medicinal herbs in Youzhou are almost exhausted, but the King of Jin is still able to use them to save the people. This is a strange fact.
The prefectural government was heavily guarded and he couldn't get in.
He found an identity and planned to sneak into the temple to investigate.
When the old man heard him say this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"What do you mean by that? The prince helped us, and you still dare to question him?"
Xu Tian waved his hand and said, "No, old man, you misunderstood me."
"I mean, the prince must have put a lot of effort into finding these herbs!"
"Of course I don't need you to tell me that." The old man calmed down when he heard his voice soften.
"Prince!" At this moment, there was a commotion at the door and someone shouted.
"Thank you, Prince, for saving us!"
"If it weren't for the prince saving us, we would have died long ago!"
The people in the Buddhist hall all looked towards the door, their eyes red as they expressed gratitude.
Zhao Chengqian stood at the door and waved to Doctor Luo and Doctor Song, indicating that they should treat the people in the temple, and asked Yingyi to give everyone the old quilts and old clothes he brought from the prefect's villa.
Ruanruan walked to the woman's side and frowned when she saw the quilt covering them.
"Brother Xiaogan, don't they feel it's cold in here?"
This quilt is thin, just like the summer quilt they use at home, and it’s snowing so heavily outside.
There were only five small pots of charcoal fire in the room, but because there were many people in the Buddhist hall, everyone was crowded together, so it was not that cold.
"We'll give them some old clothes and quilts later."
Although there is no guarantee that everyone can get it, at least they won’t starve or freeze.
"Ruanruan, are you still cold?" Zhao Chengqian looked at the big flowered jacket on Ruanruan and spoke.
"It's not cold." Ruanruan shook her head.
She saw the aloof servant hugging the wall behind the door and thought he looked familiar, so she went over and looked up.
"Hey... it's you, Brother Xiao Jiang?"
"Brother, we meet again."
Wu Jiang was walking forward with an expressionless face when suddenly a little girl wearing a pink flowered jacket appeared in front of him.
Blocked his way.
The little girl had two pigtails and her bangs covered her forehead. She opened her big gray eyes, put her hands in her pockets, and looked up at him obediently.
He stared at Ruanruan and paused, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
"Little brother?" Ruanruan pulled out her chubby little hand and waved at Wu Jiang.
This little brother is so weird. He seems unhappy every time I see him.
And he looked quite lonely.
"Oh, by the way, Ruanruan brought a lot of candy this time. This is for you."
Ruanruan took out a handful of fruit candies from her other pocket and stuffed them into Wu Jiang's hand.
He didn't react immediately and the candy in his hand fell to the ground.
"Oh...it fell." Ruanruan bent down to pick up the candy.
Wu Jiang finally came to his senses and immediately half-knelt down, "Miss, you can't do this. I'll do it myself."
He picked up the candies on the ground one by one, put them in the palm of his hand, and held them in front of Ruanruan.
Ruanruan pushed the candy in his hand and said, "It's all for you."
