soon.
Zhou Jiaojiao had already made up her mind.
As a result, not long after they returned to the team, there were many more soldiers who were originally checking at the city gate, and they directly surrounded their team of more than 300 people.
"What's going on?" Chu's mother and Chu's younger sister stuck their heads out to look, and were shocked to see the soldiers surrounding them.
Chu San had already jumped down and asked Zhou Jiaojiao not to get off the carriage, while he quickly walked to the front.
"Brother Li." Chu San greeted Li Hezhen.
Li Hezhen was talking to a commander wearing armor.
When Chu San went over, he happened to hear the commander say, "Is there a doctor in your team?"
"Excuse me, sir, do you need a doctor for something important? Our procedures are all formal, and please understand that we are all here together." Li Hezhen asked with a bow.
The commander glanced at him, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Chu San who was walking over. The main reason was that he could instantly see a bloody aura from Chu San, as if he had been on the battlefield.
"Some people in the city are sick, and the prefect has summoned doctors to help treat them."
"You can make it all the way to Yuzhou, and you'll be at your destination soon. You don't want to be stopped, do you?" The commander's tone seemed conciliatory, but his attitude was actually very forceful. "Our prefect has ordered that any doctor passing through must stay and treat patients for a month. The rest of you can leave first. The government will take care of the doctors' food rations. After a month, the government will arrange for someone to escort the doctors back to their destination."
"If you don't listen, don't blame us for detaining you."
Li Hezhen: “…”
He frowned slightly, seeing that the other party had a strong attitude. In addition, there were many garrison soldiers here, so it was obvious that they would not show weakness at all.
He turned and looked at Chu San.
Chu San decisively chose to stay with Zhou Jiaojiao. The reason was simple. There were so many troops stationed in Yuzhou. Although they were strong, they would not take anyone's life instantly. Even if he found out that they were scammers after entering, he could still find a way to get out. There was no need to make a fuss now, which would not end well. He was a wise man who knew how to act.
When Chu San came over to inform her of the situation, Zhou Jiaojiao was listening to the system saying that her merit had increased by 100.
Xiao Si: "Host, this time's merit was earned by you emptying the grain from the Wuzhou government office and sending it to the refugees for disaster relief. You are truly amazing. Keep up the good work."
Zhou Jiaojiao did not lose herself in her praise and run around to earn merits. She still focused on protecting herself and had no problem doing good deeds by the way.
"How much luck does Shen Lin have left?"
Xiao Si: "Forty-one percent."
Zhou Jiaojiao frowned. This incident had no effect on her.
"My wife..." Just as Zhou Jiaojiao was thinking, Chu San came back.
She cut off the connection with the system, took the initiative to lift the car curtain to look at Chu San, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Chu San repeated what the garrison at the gate of Yuzhou City had just said.
"Okay, then you can stay. It should be to solve the problem of the epidemic. I want to see if the officials in Yuzhou are reliable." Zhou Jiaojiao was not stupid enough to directly give the prescription for solving the epidemic to the officials in Yuzhou. What if these people were also the kind who liked to take credit, and then they wanted to force her to stay, wouldn't that be putting herself in trouble?
Like Zhou Jiaojiao, the others who agreed to stay were Doctor Lin and Doctor Wang from Li Hezhen's caravan. Of course, Doctor Lin and Doctor Wang didn't dare to say anything to refuse and were invited in by force.
"All three of you, please."
The commander was a little surprised to see that there was another girl named Zhou Jiaojiao, and took a few more glances.
However, he did not ask Zhou Jiaojiao to stay, as if he thought that one more doctor was better.
"Jiaojiao, you don't have to come." Doctor Lin said to her in a low voice with concern.
Zhou Jiaojiao explained, "I just came to take a look. If I can't help, I'll probably be let go soon."
"Then I'll protect you, so don't stand out." Doctor Lin was hinting to her that if Zhou Jiaojiao didn't show off her medical skills, it would be easier for her to leave. After all, she was a woman, and in the eyes of outsiders, she only knew some medicinal herbs, which was almost the same as an apprentice.
Zhou Jiaojiao knew he was kind-hearted, so she smiled and nodded, "No problem, it's fine."
While the three were talking, the person had already been taken into the prefectural government office.
Chu San stood at the door, like a man waiting for his wife. He waited until Zhou Jiaojiao walked away before he looked away.
"Third brother, let's go and pack our luggage first."
Chu's mother called him from the cart.
Chu San came back with Bao'er in his arms and asked in a muffled voice, "Mom, where are we going to live?"
"Master Li said the government has arranged a courtyard for us. We're all so crowded, but we don't know if there's enough space." Mother Chu looked at the thick snow on the ground and couldn't help shivering. "Look, the weather in the north is so cold. It's freezing cold right here. If we go further north, we don't know how much colder it will get."
"Mom, thank you for your hard work." Chu San said in a low voice.
"It's not that hard at all. I'm satisfied as long as our family can live well." Mother Chu was open-minded.
Chu San didn't say anything awkward. He asked, "Is the place assigned by the government office far from the prefectural government?"
"It seems to be not far away. Just walk out of the main street here and turn the corner and you will be there."
Chu San looked at the distance between the two places. It wasn't very far. If something happened to his wife in the prefectural government, he would be able to react in time.
"Let's go."
Chu San took the lead and led the carriage forward.
The courtyard arranged by the prefect this time was not small, with three courtyards. However, it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time, so it was rather dilapidated. There was no furniture inside, and it was completely empty, which was just enough to accommodate everyone's luggage.
When arranging the villagers to go to which house, something went wrong.
Father Zhao said in a muffled voice, "Why can't we live in the same room with Chen Lin? What if you bully her?"
The village chief was convinced. He was not afraid that Chen Lin would be bullied. After all, Chen Lin had not had a good experience along the way. Instead, the Zhao family was the happiest one. He was just looking for an excuse because he was afraid that other villagers would get valuable things from Chen Lin's space and wanted to keep an eye on it themselves.
"I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to discuss it with Chu San." said the village chief.
Zhao Laoer was unhappy: "Why look for Chu San, he's a fool..."
Zhao Laoer fell silent before he could finish his words. Chu San appeared at the door of the house, staring at him coldly. He thought to himself that he was not stupid at all. His wife said that he was cute!
Besides, even though he can't remember anything after he turned eighteen, it doesn't mean he's a fool!
"I, I didn't say anything." The Zhao family members bully the weak and fear the strong. Seeing Chu San silent and with a sullen face, they instantly shrank back in fear.
