Seeing Dani limping out, Si Jinxing glanced at Mo Qiu.
The child is already covered in wounds, and if he walks on the road in the dark, who knows how many times he will fall!
With Mo Qiu there, it didn't take long for the two of them to enter the yard with a white-bearded old man.
Seeing this, Si Jinxing simply handed Zhao Dani a tube of ointment, told her how to use it, and then turned and left the Zhao family's yard.
She had some good feelings towards Liu Mei at first, but she didn't expect that she was even more vicious than Zhao Zhuang!
As a woman, Liu Mei knew that it was not easy for women to live in this world. Not only did she fail to protect Dani, she even imposed her own suffering on her daughter!
Si Jinxing couldn't understand it. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Liu Mei was not fit to be a mother!
As for the baby in her belly, she thought the barefoot doctor would find a way to get it aborted, and she would not interfere in other people's business.
The next morning, when Si Jinxing opened her eyes, it was already half past eight!
By the time everyone finished breakfast and cleaned up, another half an hour had passed.
Aunt Feng was standing outside the yard. Seeing Si Jinxing about to get on the carriage, she hurriedly took two steps forward with her little granddaughter.
She took out the one or two ounces of silver from yesterday and said awkwardly:
"My dear, you are staying here temporarily, yet you still provide us two good meals.
How can I, an old woman, accept your money? Please take it back."
Si Jinxing heard this and said with a smile:
"It's alright to stay here, but wouldn't it be more fun to eat together? Please keep this money, and we'll take our leave."
After she finished speaking, she got into the carriage.
Zi Su lifted the curtain and waved to the grandfather and grandson standing outside the door.
Seeing this, Aunt Feng carefully put the silver away and said loudly, "May your journey be safe and sound!
In the carriage, Si Jinxing asked:
"Have you heard anything about the Zhao family today?"
Qing Chan said, "Since we left last night, there has been no more noise from the courtyard. I just wonder how the baby in Liu Mei's belly is doing."
Although Zi Su did not go with them last night, she heard about this from Bai Xi early today.
She snorted coldly and said, "Who cares about her? I've never seen a mother like this!"
The carriage traveled for half an hour and arrived at the county seat of Tongshan County.
Si Jinxing lifted the curtains and saw that most of the houses on both sides of the city streets had collapsed, and the ground was covered with mud and sand after the flood.
The people walking on the street from time to time all looked pale and thin.
Si Jinxing frowned. The situation in Tongshan County was indeed much more serious than that in Xuzhou City!
Bai Xi drove the carriage eastward, where the terrain was higher and was also the area where the disaster victims gathered.
It is said that when a flood occurred, the magistrate of Tongshan County, Li Kunzheng, immediately asked the people to go there for refuge.
But even so, it is only a temporary escape from the water.
Unable to wait for the government to open its granaries to release grain, the people had no choice but to find their own way out and flee everywhere.
Most of the people went straight to Xuzhou City, and a small number went south to Jianzhou City.
Now that the flood has long receded, many of the people who had fled abroad have returned after learning that the court has sent an imperial envoy.
Soon, the carriage slowed down and Si Jinxing lifted the curtain to look outside.
Then I saw that the open space in front of the government office was surrounded by hundreds of tents on all sides, and in the open space in the middle, the people had formed a long line.
At the front of the line, a man was handing out thermometers to eight people in the first row of the line and registering them.
That person was none other than Gu Anxu, who came to Tongshan with Fang Yongzhi, the Imperial Hospital Director.
When Cao got off the carriage, she saw the busy figure at first sight, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
In the past few years, my husband has been struggling with the child's strange illness, and it has been a long time since he has been doing his own thing like he is now.
If my father-in-law and mother-in-law were still alive, they would be very happy!
Gu Keying followed Cao out of the carriage. She didn't wear a veil, and was exposed to everyone with three big bumps on her face!
The beautiful sister once said that since someone’s mouth is on someone’s face, she can’t make everyone in the world shut up!
The beautiful sister also said that everyone’s life is limited. The more pain and sadness one experiences, the less happiness one will have!
Why did she choose to make things difficult for herself and make her parents sad as well?
Gu Keying was different from Cao. She first saw the skinny people in the open space, and then she saw her father who was busy seeing patients.
She wanted to rush up and find her father immediately, but she knew that those who were seeing the doctor needed her father more at this moment.
Si Jinxing didn't want to disturb Gu Anxu, but her three carriages were too eye-catching. The people were talking about it, and Gu Anxu naturally saw it.
He politely asked the people behind him to wait a moment, then strode towards this side.
Fang Yongzhi naturally also saw the commotion here. He received a letter from Xuzhou City the day before yesterday, saying that Princess Anping was still alive!
The fire in the Qingcheng County Posthouse kept flashing through his mind. How could this woman still be alive with such a severe fire?
Could it be that King Mo Ying had anticipated that from the beginning?
Or does this woman have other helpers hiding in the dark?
Otherwise, as a weak woman, she would never be able to escape safely under such circumstances!
Although Fang Yongzhi was the Imperial Medical Officer, he was personally appointed by the Emperor to assist the Princess of Anping in providing disaster relief and saving the people.
After all, he was also a subordinate of the county lord, so naturally he had to go up and say hello.
When he came to the girl, he heard Gu An, the head of the Suzhou Gu family, say:
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
