Doctor Zhou has superb medical skills and is well-known in the provincial capital, so Gu Zhang brought him to treat his master.
"Doctor Zhou, how is the patient?"
Although Doctor Zhou did not know the patient's identity, he was very nervous that the prefect had come in person, and he thought that the patient must be of very important status, so he was very careful in his reply.
"Your Excellency has suffered a severe injury before, so your pulse should be disordered, but it is now stable. Rest well, there is nothing serious."
"The patient is now unconscious. What's going on?"
"Oh, the noble man has fallen asleep."
Hearing what Doctor Zhou said, Gu Zhang had no doubt at all. He knew that his master had rushed all the way here just to find a way to save the people and had not taken care of his own health.
It must be that he had been overworked during this period, which led to the health problem. So without any suspicion, he sent Doctor Zhou away and he left in a hurry.
He had no choice but to go. The government office was overwhelmed with work every day, and he certainly couldn't stay here to wait for his master to wake up.
"Qingxuan, when the master wakes up, please have someone notify me. I have something to report to the master."
"Okay, no problem."
After Gu Zhangqian, Qingxuan signaled Qingxi to go out.
"The master has been very tired recently. Let's not disturb him and let him have a good sleep."
Xie Ruiyuan, who was lying on the bed, was not completely asleep at all. On the contrary, he was very sensitive to the outside world.
The reason why he pretended to be asleep was because he found that his body was undergoing slow changes.
Every time the poison took effect, my body would feel a needle-like pain afterwards. It lasted for one day at first, and then gradually prolonged to two days, three days, a day, and even seven days.
This time he thought he would have to endure the pain for seven days, but he didn't expect that after spitting out a mouthful of blood, not only did the pain in his body disappear, but he also felt lighter than ever before. He thought it was the water he drank that caused the trouble.
Thinking of the water bag, Xie Ruiyuan immediately stood up, walked to the table, and picked up the water bag on it.
Seeing the water filling up inside, Xie Ruiyuan fell into deep thought and said to himself, "Woman, what other surprises can you give me?"
Because of the extremely severe flood, many people in Guangping Prefecture had to make the painful decision to leave their homes where their ancestors had lived for generations in order to survive.
Some of the refugees went to nearby prefectures to seek refuge with relatives, while others yearned for the prosperity of the capital and wanted to work under the emperor's feet. However, most people had peasant thinking and wanted to find a place where they could live a stable life.
However, on the way to Beiqian, Qingshan Prefecture is a must-pass place.
However, these refugees believed that the further north they went, the better life would be, and they would no longer have to live in despair, with no food to eat.
Even if I can't settle down at that time, I can still survive by begging.
However, things did not go as planned. The harvest in Qingshan Prefecture was poor in recent years, and the lives of ordinary people were not easy.
Especially this year, the entire city is dry, only some places are better, but only a little bit better.
With the local grain harvest facing a total failure, the people of Qingshan Prefecture had nothing to eat and could not fill their stomachs, let alone have extra food to give to the begging refugees.
Four hundred miles away from Wuning County, there was a group of several hundred people fleeing famine. Everyone brought their families with them, carrying their only belongings on their backs, and staggered along the road.
Adults and children alike were exhausted and bewildered because of the long-term lack of food and the physical and mental torture caused by the constant journey.
