Chapter 111 Wutong City
Seventeen days later, everyone finally saw Wutong City. They didn't expect that it would take half a month to walk across these two mountains.
Outside Wutong City, many sheds were built, and the people fleeing famine lined up beside the city gate, but it did not seem like they were queuing to enter the city.
The head of the village looked at the people in the distance and saw that they seemed to be queuing up to get water?
Xu Zhiyi: "Uncle Lin, let's go over and ask what's going on."
Everyone came to the queue, stood a few steps apart, and looked ahead.
Xu Zhiyi thought the line was too long and he couldn't see the front. He saw a thin uncle next to him and asked him, "Uncle, is this line going into the city?"
Hearing this, the thin uncle turned his head to look at Xu Zhiyi. Seeing that she was also fleeing famine, he explained, "Alas, we can't enter the city now because of the epidemic in Lincheng, which affected several cities. How could this harmful epidemic suddenly break out and kill many people?"
"But I heard that the epidemic in Lincheng is now under complete control and everyone is recovering. It was Doctor Mu who came out to personally cure the epidemic."
"Now, each city is distributing decoctions. Every famine-stricken citizen who wants to enter the city must queue up to register and drink the decoction. They can enter the city two days later."
"There is also great news. The princess has ordered that porridge be distributed at every city gate every day, so not only can we drink medicine to prevent the disease, but we can also drink porridge for free."
Then he whispered: "The princess also ordered the execution of many officials in Lincheng. I heard that the soldiers killed the people who were fleeing famine. At that time, the soldiers spread the word that it was the princess who issued the death order."
"Let me tell you! It turns out that it wasn't the case. It was the officials of Lincheng Prefecture who deliberately ruined the reputation of the princess. It turns out that they are spies from other countries, and their purpose is to cause chaos in Fenglin."
"Also, I think our disaster relief grain was stolen by this spy."
Upon hearing this, the common people on the sidelines praised the princess for her wisdom and decisiveness, and then cursed the spy from another country who falsely conveyed the princess's orders.
Xu Zhiyi listened to the people cursing at the spies and wondered which country sent such stupid spies to plant a spy, let alone a prefect of a city in Fenglin Kingdom, just to do something that would be exposed as soon as it was done?
The head of the village looked at everyone and said, "Let's line up together! We have to drink the medicine for two days before we can enter the city."
Doctor Li looked regretful and shook his head: "Alas, I missed Divine Doctor Mu. If I had met Divine Doctor Mu and received her advice, I would have no regrets in my life!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi jokingly said, "Grandpa Li, you didn't meet Divine Doctor Mu, but you met Miss A Yue, didn't you?"
"I think Miss A Yue's medical skills can also be called miraculous. Haven't you heard Miss A Yue say that her medical skills are third in Fenglin Country. This can definitely be called a miracle doctor."
Doctor Li: "Miss A Yue is an excellent doctor. I read the medical books she gave me, and they are all things I have never heard of in my life. But when the medicines are combined together, the effects are unexpectedly magical. I don't know how powerful Miss A Yue's master is to have such a powerful apprentice like Miss A Yue."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi joked, "Hey, maybe Miss A Yue is the apprentice of Doctor Mu."
Doctor Li: “…” What on earth did he miss?
Then I waited in line for half an hour.
The official who was distributing the medicine said: "Bring out the pass and register it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi took out the household registration from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "Brother officer, this is the household registration of me and the three family members behind me."
The officer took the household registration and checked it, then asked another officer beside him to record it.
After the official recorded it, he handed the household registration back to Xu Zhiyi, then pointed to the side and said: "Bring your own bowl to get the medicine. If you want to enter the city, you have to wait outside the city for two days."
Xu Zhiyi: "Thank you, officer, for telling me."
Su and Shen Wuyou pushed the cart and followed Xu Zhiyi to the side to get the medicine. The Su family members behind them also came out with their household registration and followed.
Xu Zhiyi came out with the bowl and looked at the big pot of black medicine. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth before he started to drink it.
After the elder brother who served the medicine poured a full bowl for Xu Zhiyi, he stared at her and said, "Girl, you have to finish the medicine in front of us before you can leave."
Xu Zhiyi: "Ah? Oh"
Looking at the medicine in his hand, Xu Zhiyi frowned, took a deep breath, pinched his nose and drank it all in one breath, but in the end he couldn't help but spit out a big mouthful.
The elder brother who was holding the medicine saw Xu Zhiyi spit out a large mouthful, so he added a small spoonful of medicine and poured it into her bowl.
Xu Zhiyi watched as the bowl was filled with half a bowl of medicine. The people queuing behind him kept urging him to finish it, so he had to grit his teeth and drink it up in one gulp!
This time, after Xu Zhiyi finished drinking, she quickly covered her mouth tightly. Oh! It's too bitter! When she was sick in modern times, she would rather take Western medicine and injections than take Chinese medicine.
After Xu Zhiyi came out of the team, he found a seat under a tree not far away and sat down to relax while waiting for everyone.
Shen Wuyou pushed Shen Changan to the side, then smiled and went to sit next to Xu Zhiyi, grabbed Xu Zhiyi's hand, and stuffed a small package into her hand.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but wonder: "What's inside?"
As he said this, he opened it and took a look. When he saw that it was filled with brown sugar, he asked in surprise, "Wuyou, when did you buy the brown sugar?"
Shen Wuyou: “Madam, hurry up and pinch some and put it in your mouth, then it won’t be bitter!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi pinched a small amount and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, the smell of medicine in his mouth was immediately dissipated a lot.
The head of the village came over after everyone drank the medicine. When Mrs. Hu saw the brown sugar wrapped in oil paper in Xu Zhiyi's hand, she smiled and said jokingly, "Oh! Wuyou just asked anxiously if any family in our team had any sugar. It turns out that he was worried about his wife's bitter mouth!"
Su, who was standing by, also joked, "Hey, you're still talking about my son-in-law. Isn't your Lin Yu also a man who loves his wife?"
Lin Yu, who was handing candy to his wife at this time, scratched his head with a silly smile after hearing Su's words.
Ye looked at the two families with a smile: "Oh! A man who loves his wife will definitely make a fortune in the future. My little He will definitely follow the example of your two families in finding a partner in the future."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaohe was so embarrassed that she pulled Ye: "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm only thirteen, it's too early for me to get married!"
Mrs. Hu: "Xiao He, I will keep an eye on him for you. After two years, I will introduce you to someone who will love his wife better."
Upon hearing this, the village head snorted coldly: "Humph, you're still introducing people. Don't make trouble. Who did you introduce to Zhiyi last time? You even praised him as a gentleman who would never mess around with a girl, but he ended up running off with a man!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Hu pinched the headman's waist and whispered, "Old man, this is an accident. I have thought of thousands of possibilities, but I never thought that he would run away with a man!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter!
