Chapter 502: Packaging Medicine
"Someone came over there and said that the people there are in very bad condition, some of them are seriously ill." The old man also looked worried, and said, "Mei Die and Bei Feng have already lowered the water level and temporarily stopped the people who were deliberately causing trouble."
"Lock up those who are causing trouble and settle the score with them later." Li Rongsen said in a cold tone.
The old man nodded, this was how he had handled it.
An Yan looked at Li Rongsen and asked him, "How's your medicine pack going?"
"Twenty or thirty bags have been packed." Li Rongsen said as he lifted the small bag in his hand. It was full of herbs for preventive use.
Yan Qingqiu walked up to him and said, "I'll help you pack it, it will be faster this way."
"Don't even think about sleeping tonight." The old man shook his head slightly.
"I want to go over there and take a look." An Yan said to the old man.
"How can we do this? It's a mess over there, and there are fights and rebellions from time to time, and the people are crying and wailing. It's not a good time to go there now." The old man felt that this was inappropriate and would hurt An Yan.
But An Yan thought that was precisely why she had to go. She said, "I have to go and take a look, to see for myself how those sick people are doing. I'm afraid these medicines will have little effect on them."
Li Rongsen immediately responded: "I'll go with you. Tell a few people to come and load the medicine."
"No, we can't be careless about loading the medicine. One more or one less ingredient will cost a life." An Yan was very serious about this matter.
"How about this, we pack all the herbs, refill them when we get there, and then distribute them to them one by one." Li Rongsen suggested.
"That's fine." An Yan thought this would save time. Once the items were packed, they could be given to them. So, she instructed the old man, "Go and make arrangements and prepare a few large carriages."
"Okay, let's do everything according to the city lord's wishes." The old man nodded.
"You distribute these medicines to the people in the city first, and I will make some more medicine." An Yan gestured for him to do this first.
The old man took the medicine and left.
Yan Qingqiu said, "I didn't expect the consequences of this incident to be so serious, causing unrest among people in both cities."
An Yan sighed lightly and said, "Let's hurry up, no one should be killed." Then she threw all the selected herbs into the medicine cauldron and added some energy to make it ready faster.
"I have a medicine cauldron in my room. Let me get it." Yan Qingqiu said and ran back to his room.
Li Rongsen was only concerned with quickly getting the medicine, while An Yan came over to help him and said, "We still have to use some extraordinary means, otherwise the effect will ferment too slowly."
"You are planning to hurt yourself again." Li Rongsen did not agree with her doing this.
An Yan chuckled and said, "This energy can be restored. The most important thing right now is to save people."
Li Rongsen looked at An Yan and suddenly asked a very strange question: "If the people in your area were in trouble, would you sacrifice yourself to save them?"
"That depends on the situation." An Yan simply replied without thinking too much about it, nor did she consider carefully what Li Rongsen meant.
Li Rongsen actually asked casually. He felt that An Yan was not selfish. She was a person who took the overall situation into consideration and would never let everyone else suffer because of her own gains and losses.
There is a hint of the great Dao's compassion for the common people.
Seeing Li Rongsen remaining silent, An Yan asked, "Why are you asking me such a question?"
"I'm just looking for something to talk about." Li Rongsen chuckled and saw that An Yan's movements were very fast. She had already packed dozens of boxes and placed them in clean cardboard boxes.
Yan Qingqiu walked in holding the medicine cauldron and said, "I've cleaned this up, and it's ready to be used to make medicine."
An Yan walked over, opened the lid and took a look. It was indeed clean. She immediately threw all the herbs in and said, "We'll go over there together in a while."
"Can I have something to eat after I finish my work?" Yan Qingqiu was still concerned about food.
"You only know how to eat. Even now you still think about eating." An Yan said as she walked to Li Rongsen and started to pack the herbs.
Yan Qingqiu also came over to help, explaining with a bit of grievance: "Actually, I'm a little hungry now, but don't bother me. I'll talk to you after I'm done."
Li Rongsen put down what he was doing and went to the inner room. He took out two loaves of bread and handed them to Yan Qingqiu, saying, "Okay, eat two to fill your stomach first."
"Thank you very much." Yan Qingqiu took it and started eating without hesitation.
An Yan sent a white arrow to Mei Die, asking her to settle down and she would come soon.
Mei Die replied after receiving it, and then sent it back to Xicheng. She said to Bei Feng, "An Yan will be here soon, and you and I won't have to work so hard."
"Why are those people so brave? They treat us as the murderers of their fathers." Beifeng frowned. He and Meidie were hiding in a teahouse at the moment, and there were people from the river below.
Although I stopped the two gangs from fighting and causing trouble before, it was of no avail. It made the gangs even closer. It's not that I can't beat them, but I don't want to hurt them, so I have to hide in this teahouse and set up a barrier.
The owner of the teahouse came over with tea and snacks, placed them on the table, and said, "You two should eat something first."
"Do you recognize those people below?" Beifeng asked.
"Of course I don't recognize them. They're a bunch of bullies. Previously, the River Lord intimidated them, so they didn't dare cause trouble. But now it's different. Without a king in the city, chaos is imminent. Robbery and looting are commonplace." The owner of the building sighed and added, "It's been years since it's been this chaotic. With several forces stirring up trouble at the same time, I can't keep my teahouse open. In just ten days, I've been charged protection fees five times. I'm losing money!"
Meidie frowned and said, "Many people here are very barbaric."
Beifeng said, "I haven't seen any school since I came here."
"People here make a living by fishing. No one has ever thought about learning anything cultural. We did build a school in the past, but few people went to school." The owner of the teahouse looked a little shy.
Meidie sighed again, and then said, "Let's just wait patiently for An Yan to come."
"In my opinion, only the mayor of West City can control this place." The owner of the teahouse said sincerely.
"You seem to have great confidence in the Lord of West City."
"She just doesn't care. If she really cared, how could there be any trouble?" Teahouse is also a smart person. No matter whether he is trying to please her deliberately or he said it from the bottom of his heart, what he said is not wrong anyway.
An Yan's white arrow came again, shooting in front of Mei Die, and a message came from it: "I will be there soon, open the city gate."
Meidie replied to her: "We are trapped and can't open the city gate." Then she waved her hand and let the arrow fly back.
Bei Feng said, "I feel that those people are too pitiful. We are powerless to help them. They are all sick."
"An Yan never comes here unprepared. She must have a plan." Mei Die signaled him not to worry.
"Can she come into the city? There are so many people guarding the city gate, and there are ten layers of barriers." Bei Feng was a little worried. He always felt that An Yan was a woman and might not be able to solve these difficult problems.
"You really underestimate An Yan. She is actually genderless." Mei Die said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Bei Feng didn't understand what this meant.
