Looking at his acupuncture skills now, it's clear that his medical expertise is quite high. It's a real waste of his talent for him to stay in this small mountain village.
After administering acupuncture to Gu Jingchun, the doctor sat down to rest.
Upon seeing this, Lanxin immediately took out a box of fine tea from the carriage and brewed it for him.
He took just one sip and looked up in surprise, realizing that this tea was no ordinary tea.
So, looking at Lanxin, he kindly reminded her:
“Young lady, things have been rather unsafe around here lately. You should leave as soon as you recover.”
Lan Xin was slightly surprised, but Gu Jinxi immediately asked a question.
Why is that?
The doctor sighed and then said:
"You probably don't know yet, but things are in chaos in Qi County."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was surprised for a moment.
"Qi Prefecture?"
The doctor nodded.
"Several days ago, it was already said that Qi County was in complete chaos due to the long-term drought."
A large number of refugees are heading this way.
If it's just a few people, the common people can naturally offer some assistance.
However, there were too many of them.
The people also heard that, because they were so hungry, they looted everything in their path, showing no regard for the lives of others.
"That behavior was practically no different from that of a robber."
"The people here learned of the news early on, so they bought enough food and nailed their doors shut in order to escape this calamity."
Upon hearing this, Lanxin and Xiaoman finally understood why no one had answered the door despite knocking on so many doors yesterday.
But why...?
Lanxin subconsciously looked at the house where they lived.
Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately snorted coldly.
"For elderly people like this, it doesn't matter whether the door is closed or not."
"After all, they not only had no money and no food, but they were also old and in difficult circumstances."
"Even if the disaster victims come, there will be nothing to steal."
Upon hearing this, Lanxin's first thought was of the pot of rice porridge from yesterday.
No wonder.
Lan Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Therefore, she took down all the extra grain and gave it to the old lady.
The old lady repeated the same words she had said yesterday.
"Girls, you keep it. I'm just an old woman and I can't eat much."
"Keep this. If you continue eastward, make sure you don't take it out again."
But just then, a strange sound suddenly came from over there.
The sound was like the earth trembling slightly, indicating the large number of people who had arrived.
The two people who had been guarding the door rushed in immediately.
"Miss Lanxin, something terrible has happened! A large number of disaster victims have arrived from afar."
The doctor was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"They arrived so quickly!"
He stood up as he spoke.
"Oh no, we should hide as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Lanxin immediately ordered people to bring all their carriages into the courtyard.
Fortunately, the gate in the courtyard was large enough that the carriage could be pulled over with difficulty.
Afterwards, Lanxin ordered people to hide everything inside and instructed them to cover the carriage with all the dry grass.
However, Gu Jinxi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"That won't work."
He looked at Lanxin, his small face full of determination.
"Follow my instructions and pull the carriage out again."
Lan Xin frowned upon hearing this.
"But……"
"Listen to me, pull the carriage out."
Lan Xin looked at Gu Jinxi's eyes.
Determined, calm, and with a convincing sense of determination.
His gaze was very much like Gu Jingchun's, but the coldness in his eyes that brooked no refusal was very much like that of Shen Hechuan, who held a high position.
With such a gaze, how could Lanxin refuse?
He immediately obeyed Gu Jinxi's instructions and pulled the carriage out again.
Gu Jinxi walked in the yard and pointed to the fruit trees one by one, saying, "Dig up this tree, and be quick."
Upon hearing this, Lanxin and Xiaoman, along with the two guards who remained behind, immediately sprang into action.
Even the doctor joined in.
Fortunately, although the old lady can no longer do farm work, she still has quite a few tools at home.
They worked quickly, and since the tree wasn't very big, they soon dug out all the roots.
Looking at the large pit, Gu Jinxi ordered people to dig it deeper.
Finally, he pointed to the pit and said, "Now, put everything in our wagon into this pit."
Lan Xin finally understood Gu Jinxi's thoughts after seeing this.
While praising Gu Jinxi's intelligence in her heart, she and everyone else put all the things into the pit.
After everything was put in, the tree was naturally put back into the pit to restore the original state and cover up the truth.
However, they had all used too much strength and were now feeling somewhat exhausted.
At the crucial moment, Gu Jinxi grabbed the tree with one hand and effortlessly placed it in the pit.
"Young Master..."
Lanxin was filled with worry.
Gu Jinxi shook her head.
"It's nothing."
Lanxin and the others were not surprised, but the doctor standing to the side had his eyes wide open.
He wanted to ask, but everyone was busy filling in the soil, so he didn't say anything.
With Gu Jinxi's great help, the tree was quickly restored to its original state, and Gu Jinxi then instructed the servants to close the gate tightly.
And it was nailed in place to hold it firmly in place.
