"Excuse me, Auntie. You live nearby. I saw a group of people passing by your house this afternoon. It was a big man riding a tall horse, with three or five other men following him, and some of the ruffians who often cause trouble in the market. I want to ask you, did you see where they went?"
When Li Xia hurried to her stall, it was already empty.
In fact, when she was on the road, she saw the sun was about to set and had a premonition that even if she rushed there, it would probably be a wasted trip.
But she still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Unexpectedly, I still came up empty-handed.
Li Xia looked around the stall but didn't see Zhou Ping and others.
Just at this moment, an old lady who lived nearby opened the door. Seeing this, Li Xia immediately walked to the old lady's door.
She bit her lip, looked up at the old lady and asked her politely.
"It turns out to be a female doctor. I just heard the footsteps at home and thought they sounded a bit like yours, so I thought of opening the door and taking a look. I didn't expect it was really you." When the old lady saw Li Xia, she enthusiastically took her hand, opened her lips, and spoke excitedly.
Most of the people in the city have received treatment and kindness from Li Xia. They are grateful to her and are very enthusiastic whenever they see her.
Many of them are simple people.
With war raging everywhere, they knew very well that if it were not for Li Xia's generosity in providing them with free medicine and treatment, these poor people living at the bottom of society would not be able to afford to see a doctor. Even if they could scrape together the money to hire a doctor, they could only pay a consultation fee at most. For subsequent treatment, it was simply a drop in the bucket. As ordinary people, they could not afford it at all.
Not to mention the poor people like them.
Even if those wealthy people have enough money to hire a doctor, the doctor they hire must have real skills and genuine medicinal materials if he wants to make money.
However, due to the continuous wars in the past two years, the medicinal materials in Medicine City have been almost monopolized by the military lords, and many drugstores and clinics have been forced to close due to lack of medicinal materials.
Many medicinal herbs have become priceless treasures among the people.
Unless the high-ranking officials and nobles living at the top of the pyramid have the power and connections, ordinary people like them are not even qualified to see him.
In short, ordinary people like them can only pray to God and stay healthy and free from disasters.
For example, this time most of the people in the city were infected with the plague. If they had not met the noble female doctor, they would have had no choice but to accept their fate and wait for death.
So it is no exaggeration to say that the female doctor is the adopted parent of all of them and their benefactor.
"Female doctor, you look tired and sweaty. If you don't mind, please come with me to my home to rest."
The old lady looked at Li Xia's forehead which was oozing with sweat and spoke with her mouth open.
Li Xia waved her hand, licked her lower lip, opened her mouth, and declined the old lady's kindness: "Thank you, old lady. No, no, I have something urgent to do. I must find the people I just asked you about as soon as possible. If you have seen them, please point me in a direction."
"There was such a big commotion in the daytime. I have an impression of that group of people. Let me think which direction they went." The old lady blinked.
