"Oh, right, Lord Mo gave me the artifact because many people are coveting it now. Everyone thinks that the artifact is in Lord Mo's hands." Zhou Jiaojiao said this, having already made up her mind. She asked Chu San for his opinion: "My husband, what do you think? I should arrange for someone to deliver the artifact to General Xie?"
"Why not tell Lord Mo and Zhao Changliu?" Chu San understood the key point and pondered for a moment before immediately selecting a candidate: "What do you think of Chu Qi? He has heterochromia, so others won't believe he'd go looking for General Xie. They'll just think he's from an alien race, which will make things easier. I've also taught him a lot of skills, so he should have no problem going to Youzhou."
Zhou Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Okay, but can Chu Qi be trusted?"
“Trustworthy.”
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't ask him why he was so confident. Anyway, she could use the fragments to create another space later, so it was not a bad idea to use a space that was about to be destroyed to test Chu Qi. After all, Chu Qi was Chu San's confidant, and it would be better to train him.
"Okay, let him do it."
When Chu Qi was called over, he was still eating pancakes. The pancakes were made by Chu's mother and filled with bacon. It was a rare delicacy at that time. You have to know that there was a shortage of food in the capital city. It was good to have porridge to drink. Where could there be meat? All the meat was taken out from Shen Lin's space.
"Sister Zhou, boss, my aunt asked me to bring you some meat patties." Chu Qi handed the patties wrapped in a cloth bag to Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao took it casually, then took out a few bottles of medicine and some small bundles and handed them to him: "Take these things."
"What?"
Zhou Jiaojiao calmly ate the biscuits and said, "Go and do a mission. Deliver the artifact to General Xie. The artifact is inside. The medicine bottle is what I gave you. You'll need it on the road. There are also copper coins and silver."
Chu Qi's hands holding the package almost started shaking, and his voice changed: "Sister Zhou, are you just going to give it to me like that?"
He almost dropped the cake.
Zhou Jiaojiao was very calm: "Is this a big deal? Just tell me if you can complete this task and you'll know."
"...Yes, since you trust me, I won't really let you down."
Zhou Jiaojiao nodded. "That's right. Then you should set off according to the time. Don't let anything go wrong. If something goes wrong, just control the artifact and save your own life. Then you can give it to General Xie when the time comes."
Chu Qi was a little moved. He put the bag into his arms, pretended he knew nothing, and continued to eat the biscuits. Zhou Jiaojiao had already told him about the dangers of giving the artifact away. After all, there were many people watching.
Chu Qi left on the second day, and Zhou Jiaojiao did not see him off, mainly for his safety.
The second day.
Zhou Jiaojiao brought Doctor Lin and others to the provincial capital to treat the epidemic for the people waiting in line.
"Jiaojiao, let us help you."
Zhou Jiaojiao was busy giving medicine to people with her group.
At this time, Chu's mother came with a lot of people. Hu Liuzi, Fang Nian and others who were rescued by Zhou Jiaojiao were also wearing protective clothing and masks. They helped carry medicine and feed the patients.
"Why are you here?"
Zhou Jiaojiao straightened up and asked. She felt a little tired. There was nothing she could do. There were too many patients and it was tiring to take turns.
"We don't have much to do at home. I heard from the third child that you will be treating people on the street starting today, so I thought we could help." Mother Chu explained with a smile.
Zhou Jiaojiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked around, but didn't see Baoer.
"Mom, where's Bao'er?"
"Don't worry, Baoer, your father is taking care of them. He's not in good health, and I'm afraid he'll get infected if he comes here, so I left your second and eldest sister-in-law at home to help take care of the children."
Zhou Jiaojiao felt relieved: "Mom, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me."
Zhou Jiaojiao was too busy to talk to everyone.
She spent most of the following time running around the state capital.
"Ms. Zhou, you should go and have a rest. We can help take care of the patient ourselves." Mother Wang insisted on pulling Zhou Jiaojiao to sit on the stool next to them to rest for a while.
Zhou Jiaojiao sat down and asked, "Auntie Wang, how are you feeling lately? Do you have a high fever, itchiness, or pus-filled blisters?"
She was surrounded by many local people, and they all knew each other.
"No, we are all in good health. We have been drinking the medicine provided by the government for several days. We feel much better after drinking it. Now the weather has improved and it is not so cold. You said that we should not drink dirty water casually, and we are listening."
"That's right, Miss Zhou. You are a good doctor and saved us. We all know it."
The people around followed suit and said that there were still sick patients lying in front of them, but the patients were in good spirits. The epidemic was no longer a terminal illness, and their condition was getting better every day.
"As long as you are okay, that's all." Zhou Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Niu, let me take another look at you." Zhou Jiaojiao squatted down and said to the little boy who was sick next to her.
Xiao Niu's eyes were red: "Sister Zhou, thank you, I thought I was going to die."
"How could that be? Listen to the doctor, take medicine when necessary, wash your hands frequently, don't eat dead livestock, and boil water before drinking. The disease will gradually heal." Zhou Jiaojiao said as she examined and treated him. After feeding him the medicine, she broke and scraped off the pus bubble. It was a little painful, but it cured the disease. After acupuncture, he felt much better.
"The calf will be obedient."
Zhou Jiaojiao nodded, and when she looked up, she saw Chu San coming over with the plaster. She stood up and said, "Do you all know how to apply the plaster now? I'll distribute it to you. Help the sick people at home to apply it. Don't miss any patients, otherwise this epidemic will not be solved and will spread to healthy people. We don't have much medicinal materials."
Aunt Wang said, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao. We'll all keep an eye on you. No one would dare to hinder us at a time like this."
"Yes, that's it."
Those in the crowd who were ignorant and confused, or even wanted to leave the plaster to exchange it for silver in other states, subconsciously shrank their necks. All their subsequent movements were being watched, so they had no choice but to endure the pain and use it.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San stood side by side, watching the people's spontaneous cooperation.
"Madam, everyone is becoming more and more convinced of you now." Chu San praised with a curled lip.
Zhou Jiaojiao leaned lazily against him. "Everyone knows what's best to do. After all, some patients who were treated too late before lost their lives and had to be burned. Now that they can be treated, the people are not stupid. Why wouldn't they cooperate?"
"By the way, how's Bao'er? Are your parents tired?"
Chu San smiled and said, "Bao'er is doing very well. He can crawl now and is very well behaved. He doesn't make any noise. Every day, Erbao and the other kids play with him. Daddy won't let go of Bao'er even if he holds him. I've never seen a child in the family that Daddy can't let go of as much as he does."
