Chapter 239 The Beginning of a Tragic Fate (2/2)



Doctor Lu was not appointed as the head of the Imperial Medical Academy for nothing.

After his tireless research day and night, and with the help of the people of Qijia Village who tested the medicine, he finally developed a prescription.

However, as a doctor, it's all too easy to ruin a person in this process.

After recovering from the plague, Qi Mingyu became unable to sit for long periods of time, and his hands could not hold a pen for extended periods of time.

Sitting for too long makes my whole body feel like it's being pricked with needles, and the aches and pains are unbearable.

He could barely hold the pen in his hand.

Of course, that's all in the future!

But let's get back to the present. After Chi Yu and his older brother returned to Qin Mu's house, they put the person into their spatial storage.

Inside the house, only the two sisters remained.

She never hid anything from her sister, and truthfully recounted her encounter with Qin Mu and what Qin Mu had said.

Finally, she said, "Sister, we haven't signed the documents with the Qiao family yet. We have to resolve these issues before we go back."

But things aren't looking good right now, so I think I should send Ah Kang back first thing tomorrow morning to tell everyone."

“It’s fine for A-Kang to go back first. The road is in bad shape now, and the shortcut down the mountain is probably no longer possible.”

If we take the long way around, by the time Ah Kang walks back, we should be home by then.

Rather than letting him go through all that trouble to arrive at the same time as us, you should go back with Ah Kang.

You can leave those glass gems with me for now.

"And some soap and bar soap. Give me some, and write down the recipes for me too. I'll talk to Mr. Qiao later."

"Sister, it's fine if I go back with A-Kang, but we still don't have a car."

There are no carriage companies outside now, and not even a single oxcart can be seen at the city gate.

"It's normal that you can't see them. All those vehicles have been requisitioned by the government to build the outer city wall."

The yamen (government office) paid them a fixed amount of silver each day. According to Amu, every three days of service could be credited as one day of labor service for the entire four months.

Those ordinary people who owned oxcarts, horse-drawn carts, mule carts, and donkey carts were overjoyed.

Some people even wanted to use dogs to pull carts.

Chi Yu: "..."

Good heavens, that's really good heavens.

In order to complete the outer city wall as soon as possible, the government not only spent money but also exempted the city from labor service days.

These methods must have been devised by Amu and his team, right?

Otherwise, why haven't I heard of this being possible in previous years?

Despite thinking this in her heart, Chi Yu didn't say it aloud, but instead asked:

"In that case, sister, how do we get back?"

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have brought the mule cart from home.

"Didn't we buy cattle? Let's figure out a way to buy a carriage tomorrow morning."

If there are no carriages, a flatbed cart will do.

Then you and A-Kang leave the city, get away from the crowds, hitch the ox onto the cart and let it out, then you can go back.

Although it's a bit slower, it's still faster than walking.

When you're almost at Chijia'ao, you can put the car away.

As for your elder brother and me, if there's no carriage, we'll walk back.

They're people who're used to walking, so they walk fast.

The short walk back is nothing to your brother and me.

Moreover, the current altitude of Chijia'ao is only a little over 1,000 meters.

Chi Yu thought about it and decided that it would work, so she asked, "Sister, Kang and Big Brother have entered the space. They must be harvesting potatoes in the field."

This is the second harvest. The previous two hundred kilograms of bud cuttings were planted, and with the space refresh, there were more on the ground.

"Now, with a little over one mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of land and the added benefit of space, we should be able to harvest three to four thousand jin (approximately 1,500 to 2,000 kg)."
