Lin Shucheng quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I am not worthy of your kindness."
Lin Shucheng was a shrewd man; he could tell at a glance that Gu Shao wanted something from their family.
His daughter has been busy these past few days, and he hasn't even had a chance to discuss future plans with her yet. How could he dare to agree to anything so casually?
He confiscated the jade pendant, figuring his daughter would find it troublesome.
This was the first time Gu Shao had done something like this, and he was rejected, so his face turned a little red.
Lin Shucheng, being a seasoned shrew who had been navigating the business world for decades, said, "Sir, you provided the medicinal herbs this time, which saved my nephew's life. If you ever need anything from me in the future, I will do my utmost to help."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Shucheng left.
Gu Shao was also very satisfied, feeling that his relationship with Lin Shucheng had taken a step forward, and he felt that there was hope for the future of medicine prescriptions, crossbows and the like.
It wasn't long after Lin Shucheng left that Gu Shao realized Lin Shucheng was indirectly rejecting him. He'd said he'd saved his nephew's life, but Lin Shucheng had also saved the entire city's population. How could he possibly use that as an excuse to buy crossbows from Lin Shucheng?!
Gu Shao practically cursed out loud: "Old fox, you look so refined, how come you're even more cunning than that old fox Ji Yuan?"
But that's a story for another time.
Although Lin Shucheng and his team had a brief respite these past few days, they were still very busy.
Most of the patients who were on the verge of death have recovered, but there are still quite a few critically ill and mildly ill patients who need care.
There weren't enough masks, and the soldiers were all in a panic. Jiang Yun sent them all out to do logistics, so that if the civilians weren't cured and the soldiers got infected, they would have to work even harder.
Lin Shucheng and the others mainly helped take care of people, feeding them medicine and brewing medicine; they wished they could be split into two people.
When a large quantity of medicinal herbs arrived, Lin Shucheng and his team even took them into the farm to brew them, where time passed quickly and the herbs were taken out in batches.
Gu Shao is also under a lot of pressure.
Following the principle of curing the disease, Jiang Yun believed that solving the plague was not difficult. However, since they had been sick for so long, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, their bodies were depleted. After the plague was cured, they would need to drink a few more doses of medicine to recuperate.
Of course, he wouldn't say this to Gu Shao.
The cost of these medicinal herbs was all paid for out of their own pockets. Jiang Yun wasn't sure if Gu Shao was willing to pay, but as a doctor, she naturally wanted all her patients to recover, and the cost was not within her consideration.
In fact, Jiang Yun did restrain herself.
Lin Jinyue took the pulse of the person and said that she was not fully recovered and wanted General Gu to get some ginseng to help them recover.
Every day, Gu Shao had his men search for medicinal herbs and write letters to the capital, asking the Gu family to send more money.
Ten days later, the plague was basically under control.
Jiang Yun and the others did not plan to stay here any longer. Jiang Yun wrote down the prescription and precautions and then prepared to say goodbye.
County Magistrate Ji Yuan hurriedly came out to greet him.
If the entire population of Yunmeng County were to perish in this plague outbreak, his entire clan would surely be wiped out.
But things are different now. He gave away all his wealth and donated money with his uncles and brothers. He also met a miracle doctor like Jiang Yun. Since Jiang Yun came, only ten people have died.
Even those who had one foot in the grave are now gradually recovering.
The capital was too far away, and there was war. Just because Jiang Yun said that the plague was not man-made, and since it had been cured, there was no need to make things difficult for the county magistrate. He didn't seem like that kind of person.
Thus, Ji Yuan kept his official position.
Upon hearing that Jiang Yun and the others were in a hurry to leave, Ji Yuan rushed out in a flurry: "Hey, hey, Dr. Jiang, don't rush off! Didn't you all flee from the famine in the north? Why don't you settle down in our Yunmeng County? As for a house, I'll definitely arrange it for you. There's a dilapidated temple that's going to be demolished, and I'll build you a big house there!"
At this point, many people were tempted.
Lin Shucheng shook his head: "We have to keep moving forward."
Ji Yuan was puzzled. “Brother Lin, from now on you’re my brother. Our Yunmeng County isn’t bad either. Even though it’s plagued by the plague, Yunmeng County is the best county besides the prefectural city. Are you going to Guangcheng? That’s fine too. I know people in Guangcheng. I’ll make sure they take good care of you.”
The group then looked at Lin Jinyue.
Lin Jinyue whispered to her father, "Dad, let's go to Yunhe Village instead, it's better there."
Lin Shucheng shook his head: "No, it's a bit far, I'm going to Shawan Town."
Seeing that Ji Yuan was reluctant to refuse, he continued, "Lord Ji, it's not that I'm arrogant, I would definitely prefer to stay here, but our group has reasons that we have to go..."
When asked for a reason, Lin Shucheng couldn't give a clear answer.
Quickly, look for your daughter to help you out of this predicament.
Lin Jinyue's small eyes darted around, and tears streamed down her face. "Actually, I dreamt of my grandmother who loved me the most. She said I had been wronged, and she risked her life to give up her chance to reincarnate, just to find me a good place, which is Shawan County."
"Whether it's true or not, I can't bear to let my grandmother's efforts go to waste."
Towards the end, Lin Shucheng started wiping away tears.
Lin Jinyue was faking it; she didn't want to stay in Yunmeng County. The location was also bad, with a small river and bridges built over the villages and towns along the way, making it impossible for large cargo ships to pass. Only small boats could cross, which was time-consuming and laborious.
Ji Yuan actually cried.
"Good, good, good, he's a filial son."
Ji Yuan was truly moved, and he suggested that he would like to treat Lin Jinyue's family to a proper meal.
Many people, because of Ji Yuanyuan's chubby figure and his constant scheming to please his superiors, had the initial impression that he was treacherous and not an honest official.
In all honesty, Ji Yuan owns many houses because his wife's family is wealthy. While he was in office, even if he wasn't exceptionally good, he genuinely considered the well-being of the people.
Lin Jinyue had noticed this over the past few days; at least, Lord Ji hadn't slept much, and his dark circles were almost as bad as a panda's.
Lin Jinyue was thinking to herself, why isn't Ji Yuan the magistrate of Shawan County?
Sigh, such good connections, it'll be inconvenient to use them in the future.
Ji Yuan also felt sorry for her. What a good person she was, and she seemed to be very capable. Why didn't the old lady appear in his dream and say that she wanted to come to Yunmeng County?
Despite his regret, Ji Yuan still had people prepare a banquet.
Jiang Yun had told them that Lin Gou Dan had been half-dead after eating a sick wild rabbit and was still weak.
They didn't dare use the poultry from the city, so Ji Yuan specially sent servants to distant county towns to buy rabbits, chickens, and ducks, all of which were raised by the locals themselves.
In short, Ji Yuan put a lot of thought into this banquet.
