As the various clinics entered, the many refugees outside the city gate began to cheer.
This means that you have survived the difficult days, and there is hope that you can be cured and get medicine for future common diseases. This is a great guarantee for survival.
When winter passes, the temperature rises, and the crops are harvested, life will no longer be so difficult.
In addition to medicines, clinics also distribute some food so that refugees have something to eat on their way back.
Of course, there are also some people who suffer from difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be cured.
After receiving a response from the clinic, miserable cries were often heard throughout the venue.
Within the area that Yuanming Medical Clinic is responsible for.
Zhou Zhilu was guarding a hill, looking at the people queuing up for food below. He couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky. He was able to go to the capital during the most difficult winter and join the Fuye Division, so he didn't have to suffer from hunger and cold.
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him.
Looking back, I found it was Yu Qingkui. She was holding a bowl of hot porridge and said, "It's windy on the mountain. Drink some hot porridge to warm yourself up."
Zhou Zhilu took the hot porridge and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Miss Yu. I don't know where you are from?"
Yu Qingkui was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "I don't even know the answer to this question myself."
Zhou Zhilu looked at Yu Qingkui in confusion.
Yu Qingkui gathered her hair, looked at the people down the mountain, and explained in a gentle voice, "Ever since I can remember, I have been fleeing famine with my parents... It seemed like there was always famine in those years. We fled to one place after another, and it seemed like we were always on the road.
“So I don’t really know where my hometown is.”
Zhou Zhilu said regretfully, "Is that so... Then what about your parents? They should know, right?"
Yu Qingkui smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "Back then, I was young and kept complaining about being hungry, so my father and mother left more food for me. As a result, they couldn't hold on any longer. At that time, they didn't even have the strength to speak, so how could they tell me where they escaped from..."
"...S-Sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this." Zhou Zhilu apologized awkwardly, and in the cold wind, some sweat appeared on his forehead.
He quickly stopped talking and started drinking the hot porridge.
In my heart, I kept complaining about what a tragic experience this was! And he said it so calmly, I really couldn't take it anymore.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I founded this Yuanming Medical Clinic with the hope of helping more people." Yu Qingkui smiled softly.
Looking at the smile on Yu Qingkui's face, Zhou Zhilu wanted to comfort her but couldn't say the words because he felt that was the pity that the other person least needed.
“Thank you for the porridge.”
"There's only one bowl." Yu Qingkui joked.
In the distant sky, the sun rises from the mountains, greeted by several red clouds.
Strands of golden light sprinkled on the white land, bringing bursts of warmth, and also sprinkled on Yu Qingkui's face on the mountain, making her smile seem even warmer at this moment.
…
"A-choo!"
Zhou Zhilu was sneezing as he walked back to the city.
No matter how warm the smile is, it cannot offset the chill of being blown by the cold wind on the mountain all day. It is really freezing.
On the way back, I met Yun Li, but at this moment his face was full of worry.
Zhou Zhilu's mind raced, and he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Liao Bufan?"
Yun Li nodded and said with a guilty look on his face, "Liao Bufan is missing. I'm sorry I couldn't keep an eye on him."
"Gone?!" Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise, "How could he be gone? Did he do anything?"
Yun Li shook his head and said, "He didn't do anything. When I saw him, he was drinking tea in the yard. Then he went into the house and didn't come out all day. I noticed something was wrong, so I went to knock on the door and found that there was no one in the house..."
Zhou Zhilu was silent for a moment, then patted Yun Li and said, "It's okay. After all, you can't just leave the guard post. Come to my place first, and then you can tell me the details."
The two returned to Zhou Zhilu's inn and whispered about the possible doubts.
At this moment, Song Luo suddenly pushed the door open and shouted, "Zhou boy! Look what I brought you? Thank me now!"
The two people who were having a private conversation were suddenly startled.
Zhou Zhilu looked at Song Luo who suddenly barged in, his face darkening as he said, "Even if you are the Seventh Princess, can't you knock on the door before entering?"
Song Luo glanced at the two of them: "Why, are you doing something shameful?"
Zhou Zhilu rolled his eyes at Song Luo and jokingly said, "Yes, we are plotting how to kidnap the Seventh Princess and see how much money we can get."
"No, no, we wouldn't dare do such a heinous thing." Yun Li hurriedly waved his hand in denial upon hearing that.
Song Luo walked forward with narrowed eyes and said with a smile: "Why not give it a try? This princess is very precious. Maybe I can ask Fifth Brother for tens of thousands of taels of gold. We can split it fifty-fifty afterwards."
Looking at Song Luo, who was prodding him with his elbow, Zhou Zhilu sighed and said, "I'm scared of you. What are you doing here?"
Song Luo then remembered and took out two pills and said with a smile: "This is the Warding Pill. You've been standing outside all day, and I thought you would definitely catch a cold, so I specially sent it to you! How about it, are you touched?"
Yun Li took one of them, held it in his palm, and said, "I am touched! Thank you very much, Your Highness! I have done nothing but honor to receive your care. I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly in the future!"
"Oh, that was just something you brought along." Song Luo explained casually.
“…” Yun Li covered his heart.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhou Zhilu looked at the pill and said with a warm feeling in his heart.
