They call us priests
【Chinese-The Only True God】:
I think it’s pretty good!
【Medicine-Xue Yide】：
? You actually still have a group chat, go get some work
【English College-abandon】
It’s so funny, not bad, it fits the character very well!
【Physical Science-The King of Volumes Reborn】:
The uncle I was taking care of just now called me a priest. He was so nice! He also asked me my Dharma name, and I replied immediately: a fragile college student!
【Medicine-Lancet】：
After this experience, I found that our medical system still has many shortcomings and room for development. For example, we can only provide drug treatment, and some diseases that require surgical removal cannot be cured.
【Medicine-Xue Yide】：
Agreed. We will discuss this in a follow-up meeting.
【Small Teaching-Makabaka】:
Please don't turn this joyful group into a medical seminar!
After everyone's unremitting efforts, all the villagers recovered after five days. Xie Yuan sent a message saying that everything was fine in the army, so Xie Ci decided to let them rest in the village for a few days before returning to the camp.
"Let me do it." Xie Ci took the shaky box from the young man's arms and motioned him to go back and have a good rest.
The young man waved his hands repeatedly and took back some of the heavy objects:
"How dare we trouble you, General? You have brought the priest with you to save us, which is already a great favor!"
Xie Ci's mouth twitched for a moment when he heard the word "priest", but he was really grateful to them this time, so he said nothing and walked towards the village clinic:
"Are you going to take him to the infirmary? I'll go with you."
"Okay!" The young man hurriedly followed, "The High Priest is really knowledgeable. He said that after the plague, we need to, uh, what's the word, disinfect! Yes, we need to take all the things used by the patients to be disinfected. Military Doctor Lin also prescribed nourishing medicine for the frail elderly, women and children in the village. If it weren't for the High Priest and General Xie, Chang'an Village would really have to report to the Yama Palace this time!"
Xie Ci had never been good at responding to compliments, as all the people in the court used to be mean and hypocritical. Even though he knew that the villagers were thanking him sincerely, he still turned his face away uncomfortably, and the black hair tied behind his head fell down, covering the slightly red tips of his ears.
It was already summer, and the country roads were filled with scorching heat. People were in much better spirits. Along the way, I met many villagers who were out for a stroll. They all greeted Xie Ci with smiles on their faces. The cicadas hidden in the lush green shades were singing tirelessly. I didn't know whose child was caught by his mother for tearing up his homework because of playing, and the sound of his crying for mercy echoed throughout the village.
The young man stole a glance at the young and famous general. It was rumored that he was violent and bloodthirsty, and not as kind to the people as the high priest. But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized that the rumors were not to be believed. General Xie was obviously very kind, so he couldn't help but open the conversation:
"These days, there is chaos and disorder outside. People who were alive and well the day before may become the victims of the chaotic army the next day. Everyone has to live one day at a time. My cousin lives in a village adjacent to Gulou. A few years ago, the Gulou cavalry attacked and we lost contact with him. Alas, I don't know when we can live in peace again."
Xie Ci paused for a moment, looked away and replied:
"That day will come, I promise."
He pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked:
"Tell me the details of your cousin. When I recover the lost land, I will send people to look for the refugees."
"Thank you very much, General!" The young man was startled, tears welling up in his eyes. He quickly told the general the truth. If he wasn't holding something in his hand, he would have performed several great salutes.
In the clinic, Lin Shizhu was helping medical students disinfect the villagers' utensils with alcohol spray. Chen Miao was also working there, so he took advantage of the opportunity to get close to them and show his courtesy:
"Are you looking for cotton cloth? I'll do it!"
"Miss Chen, take a rest. I'll do the disinfection!"
He reached out to take the spray bottle from Chen Miao's hand, but she dodged it calmly, smiled at Lin Shizhu, turned sideways and continued to work, leaving Lin Shizhu where she was, her cheeks getting hotter.
Xie Ci came in and happened to see this scene. He put his things down, kicked him, and cursed:
"Look at how worthless you are. Your eyes are almost glued to others!"
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Xie Ci felt so angry that he turned around and left, but someone gently pulled his sleeve.
Xie Ci lowered his eyes and saw a timid girl. She was wearing a koi-colored jacket and skirt made by her mother. She had watery eyes and stole a glance at Xie Ci. When she was discovered, she quickly lowered her head, her ears red, and held the scarlet flower hidden behind her back in front of him:
"Brother General, this is for you..."
Xie Ci was slightly stunned. The young man he had just helped came over after moving his things. Seeing this, he hurried over to the girl and scolded her:
"Xiao He, don't be disrespectful to the general!"
Turning his head, he bowed to Xie Ci apologetically:
"I'm sorry, General, this is my little sister, she's young and doesn't know much—"
"No problem." Xie Ci shook his head, then bent down and looked at the child who was only as tall as his knees. His sharp eyebrows softened a lot. Xiao He had just been scolded by an adult, and tears had accumulated in his pupils. He touched the little guy's furry head, took the little flower, pinned it in his hair, and thanked him with a smile:
"Thank you. I like it very much."
The child's tears came and went quickly. Seeing that he was happy, she immediately smiled brightly. The young man next to him did not expect Xie Ci to be so easy to talk to, so he picked up the girl and apologized to Xie Ci before taking her home.
Xie Ci smiled and turned around, just in time to run into Lin Shizhu, who was clinging to him like a resentful female ghost, and was startled:
"Why are you so close? You're going to die!"
He raised his hand and stroked the small crimson flower on Xie Ci's head, his tone shrill:
"When I said goodbye to her that day, I saw these blood-colored flowers - ah!"
Xie Ci was disgusted by him and kicked him away. When he turned around, he was frightened by Tong Zhenzhen who had stood behind him out of nowhere and cursed:
"Oh my god! What happened today? Are you trying to scare me to death?!"
Tong Zhenzhen stretched out her index finger and shook it without any guilt:
"How could that be possible, General? I just didn't expect that you, Demon Cough, would be able to take care of children. You have great potential to be a good husband!"
“I don’t understand what you are talking about…” Xie Ci glanced around and tried to make excuses for himself, “I’ve only been taking care of Xie Yuan since she was a child, so I’m used to dealing with children.”
"No, why am I telling you this? Why are you hanging around here when you have nothing to do?"
Xie Ci realized something was wrong and immediately questioned him.
Tong Zhenzhen covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She had never expected that Xie Ci, who looked ferocious, was actually quite gentle to a child. She wanted to tease him for a while longer, but he reminded her to think about her business. She shook the AD calcium milk in her hand in dissatisfaction:
"Which eye of yours saw me being idle? I'm just helping Ma Chengyun distribute some supplements to everyone!"
"Friendly reminder, ad calcium milk is strictly speaking a beverage, not milk, and has no nutritional value." Xue Yide raised his head from the misty disinfectant spray and said lightly.
Tong Zhenzhen smiled awkwardly at Xie Ci's teasing look, and without saying a word, she inserted the straw into his mouth.
"What the hell is this? This general won't drink it—"
Before he could finish his words, he was overwhelmed by the magical taste that was like milk but not milk. He inhaled it desperately with a cold face.
Tong Zhen really hit upon his weak spot, just like the lemonade before. This guy seems to particularly like sweet things. Wow, he's really a little brother.
Of course, she didn't dare say this to his face.
A few days later, when everyone had rested and the medical students had conducted follow-up examinations on the villagers to confirm that they were all fine, Xie Ci prepared to lead them back to the military camp.
"Hey, little horse, let's go quickly. The devil Xie is urging people to come to the village entrance!" Tong Zhenzhen called out to Ma Chengyun who was discussing something with a few villagers.
"Come on!" Ma Chengyun turned around and agreed, and then whispered to them, "Then it's settled. Don't worry, we'll give you a discount!"
Several villagers thanked him repeatedly, but still looked puzzled:
"Thank you, Master Priest! But the money of mortals should be of no use to you. Why..."
Ma Chengyun raised his hand to interrupt them:
"Hey, I am Gu Linyuan, the god in charge of money. Even though I was banished to the mortal world, I still remember my duty to make money!"
After saying this, he turned around and left under the admiring gaze of the villagers.
Today, all the villagers of Chang'an Village spontaneously gathered at the entrance of the village to see off the priests who saved the village. After Xie Ci gave the order to set off, they all knelt down and shouted in unison:
"Farewell, General Xie, the High Priest! We will serve you wholeheartedly in the future and spread your good name!"
Xie Ci immediately gave Tong Zhenzhen a look:
"Tsk, you're just playing tricks on me."
Tong Zhenzhen became much bolder and made faces at him directly:
"Hmph, are you jealous?"
"you!"
The morning light was just beginning to shine, illuminating this village that had not yet been affected by the war. The chirping of cicadas was drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the crowd. Men, women, young and old, all bowed devoutly, allowing the sunlight to lengthen their shadows, bidding farewell to this small group of people. Their faces were immature but their eyes were firm. They smiled as they watched the two people at the front of the team bickering and playing.
"Why do I feel like there's something about these two?"
"Don't say that, don't say that! Isn't General Xie a tsundere type?"
"Knock, you can knock!"
Xie Ci urged these ancestors to hurry up and finally returned to the military camp before dark. Xie Yuan had already lined up at the entrance of the military camp to greet them. As soon as Xie Ci got off his horse, he went forward to greet them:
"Brother, you have returned safely. I have asked the kitchen staff to prepare some food and drinks for you and everyone else—"
She turned around and looked at the exhausted college students, and laughed:
"Welcome and welcome."
“There’s food in Wuhu!”
"Woo woo, I know Uncle Wang has us in his heart!"
When the people who were originally too lazy to lift their arms heard that there was food to eat, their eyes turned red, their waists and legs no longer felt sore, and they ran to the kitchen camp without stopping.
Now the military supplies are no longer as scarce as before. The ingredients exchanged from Ma Chengyun's mall system have greatly enriched the food in the camp. There is also enough capacity to hold banquets. Uncle Wang even brought out his own private brew.
Xie Ci didn't like drinking, but seeing Tong Zhenzhen either eating crazily or chatting and laughing with his companions, but always refusing to tell him the truth, he felt inexplicably irritated and drank several cups in succession. When his men discovered that the general had finished a whole pot of wine, he was already flushed and drunk at his desk.
When he was carried to his bed, he vaguely realized that he had drunk too much. He thought he was extremely embarrassed this time. He wanted to stand up by supporting himself on the edge of the bed, but fell down weakly again. His chest was filled with an unspeakable emotion, as if it would burst at the next moment.
At this moment, a line of small words suddenly appeared in his blurred vision:
Are you sure to connect to the hotspot "If you are a friend, please connect to me"?
