Shen Yuerong was stunned, completely forgetting that this was a disaster area.
Her falling hand made the rich man in front of her lose hope.
"You have tried your best. There is nothing we can do, my poor child. In the end, it is the nature of the world that we blame."
Shen Yuerong looked at her and said, "You can use a wet towel or something like that to cool the child down first. I will help you find a way to get the medicine. Don't worry, I won't just ignore this child."
Her promise was of no importance to the person in front of her.
When she left that place and returned to the government office where they were temporarily staying, Chi Mu had not returned yet, but Fu Hengyu was slacking off there.
When he saw her, he put on a smile and looked like he wanted to get closer to her. "Didn't you go out with him? Why are you back at this time? Is there anything you need my help with?"
He rubbed his hands and walked to Shen Yuerong's side.
Shen Yuerong rolled her eyes and said, “It’s okay, stay away from me.”
She walked into the inner room and took out two or three packets of prepared cold-relieving herbs from the packages in the room.
At that time, I was just worried about Chi Mu's situation, so I prepared a few medicines, but I didn't expect that I would have to give them to others now.
He always came in to look at Shen Yuerong, and quickly said, "Why did you think of making medicine? But you caught a cold? Do you want me to ask a doctor to see you?"
"Please ask the doctor?"
Shen Yuerong laughed subconsciously, "This is a disaster area, where can we find a doctor? Besides, you seem to have forgotten that I am a doctor?"
He patted his head, looking regretful.
"It's my fault, I forgot..."
Shen Yuerong didn't want to waste too much time on him, so she stretched out her hand to interrupt him.
"I have something else to do, please go away."
After passing the man, she quickly followed the route she remembered and headed towards the cabin.
The man behind him followed closely.
When the door of the cottage was knocked again, the woman inside had never thought that Shen Yuerong would come back.
"doctor?"
Shen Yuerong placed the herbs in front of them, "I only have these few sets, so I'll give them all to you. I'll teach you how to cook them."
The woman was very grateful. She didn't expect that at such a time, Shen Yuerong would still be willing to help them and give them the medicinal herbs that she regarded as life-saving.
"Miss, I don't know how you charge for these herbs. We are penniless now. This medicine..."
"I don't want any money."
It is extremely difficult for people to survive in this world today, let alone have extra money to pay for medicine.
"But this is yours after all."
"Now that we are in great trouble, how can we talk about you and me? I just hope that if I get into trouble one day, you will not just stand by and watch!"
In such a cold world, I hope people can have the most basic sense of gratitude, so that we can truly see the heart of a person.
"Thank you, thank you."
The woman was very grateful that her child was saved. She quickly boiled the medicine into soup and fed it to her child mouthful by mouthful.
But in just half an hour, the child who had been running a fever for several days finally got rid of the fever and his complexion returned to normal.
The woman knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Yuerong, "Thank you, doctor, for saving my daughter's life."
The others followed the woman in thanking her, and then a few more people came forward to tell Shen Yuerong about their illnesses.
Seeing that it was still early, she helped to deal with the situation. However, she did not have enough medicine, so she could only help with the simplest treatment.
"girl."
When Shen Yuerong was about to leave the small courtyard, someone called her name. When she turned around, she saw a girl who was not wearing shoes.
The girl's clothes were somewhat tattered, but she was holding this basket in her hands.
"These...are the herbs I picked from the mountains a while ago. Can you see if they can be used?"
“Medicine picked from the mountains?”
The girl in front of him was no more than a teenager, and her exposed skin was covered with scars from being cut by herbs.
"My mother has been seriously ill for many years. I can only go up the mountain to collect some unowned herbs to exchange for money to pay for my mother's medical treatment."
"So where is your mother now?"
The little girl shook her head. "My mother was washed away by the flood on the third day after the water came. I never saw her again. I was able to save my life only by living in this small house with my aunt."
Shen Yuerong touched her forehead with some heartache, and then took all the herbs from her hand.
"I want all of your herbs. When the disaster is over, I will recognize you as my sister. If you want, you can come back to the capital with me."
"Are you from the capital? Are you the one sent by the capital to rescue us?"
Shen Yuerong didn't know how to tell her, but looking at those hopeful eyes, she finally nodded.
"I'm here to save you."
She was so happy that she couldn't speak for a long time, "Sure enough, my uncle didn't lie to me."
…
After Shen Yuerong said goodbye to the little girl, she walked back home with a heavy heart.
Fu Hengyu, who was following beside him, kept chattering.
"That little girl is dressed so shabbily and covered in mud. How can you recognize someone like her as your sister? You don't even feel ashamed, but you are unwilling to take care of Hengyue at all."
"Why should I take care of Fu Hengyue? She's not my own sister."
“This is not…”
"At least I can hear her say thank you. I take care of the general's mansion, your mother, your sister and brother, but neither you nor your family has ever said thank you to me. Why should I waste my time on you?"
"We are not from the same family, so we should not talk about different things..."
He touched his nose guiltily.
"So we are two families now."
Shen Yuerong pushed him away and walked into the yamen first in annoyance. She just happened to see Chi Mu. Standing next to him was the man who had argued with them that day, and a few other people who were in charge of the matter.
"You're back?"
Shen Yuerong nodded, "You discuss things with them first, I'll change my clothes and get some food later, you all stay."
Chi Mu thanked her a few words and then returned to the topic of how to deal with natural disasters.
Shen Yuerong changed her clothes, cooked some noodles, and helped to serve them into bowls and placed them in front of them.
Watching the discussions among the others, Shen Yuerong felt more and more that she was living an extremely real life.
"Let's eat first."
She looked at the noodles that were growing in clumps and couldn't help but speak, interrupting their conversation.
"Okay."
While eating, Fu Hengyu was about to sit next to Shen Yuerong, but was stopped by Chi Mu.
Looking at them sitting together, eating and chatting like a couple, he felt inexplicably sad.
