Chapter 148 Going to Wen'an City to See a Doctor
The donkeys were distributed to each household, and every household was filled with joy.
I was especially happy because I was reunited safely with my family members who were away from home.
After all, in these troubled times, how can one not worry when going out?
And now that we are reunited, even though the world is still unstable, as long as the family is together, no, a whole village is together, that is a full sense of security!
With a donkey at home, the men went to cut fresh grass with great enthusiasm, while the women lit a fire and set up a pot to prepare food.
Masters Shen Qingjiang and Yingjiang sat in a secluded place with a group of people who had gone out, chatting about the situation in Wen'an City.
"We were afraid of running into Anping City's soldiers and runners on the road, so we took a detour. But the further we walked, the more things seemed to be going wrong. There were obviously more and more disaster victims on the road!
Fortunately, we have donkeys that run fast. We traveled almost day and night. We were so sleepy that we would rather take a nap next to a grave than squeeze in with the disaster victims. "Zhao Mingyue, who is usually carefree, still felt a little scared when talking about the situation on the road.
Feng Meng echoed in a gruff voice, "We've already experienced a robbery. Along the way, we were more scared of people than ghosts! But fortunately, we've experienced it once before, and aren't as kind-hearted as the villagers. Looking back, we've inadvertently avoided several dangers!"
It is just as what Aunt Shen Qing said: There is no wasted journey in life, every step counts!
Even a bad experience can become a wealth of experience later.
Shen Qing thought of Wang Fugui and Zhang Heshun and asked cautiously, "Do you think the looting and smashing in Anping City will happen in Wen'an City?"
Jiang Ying, the second master, looked at Shen Qing calmly, wondering in his heart if they had the same suspicion.
Zhao Mingyue and the others had already learned about the chaos in Anping City from the large group. Upon hearing this, they shook their heads and said, "I don't think so. I don't know whether Anping City is big or not, but we have been here for several days and have some understanding of Wen'an City.
It's five times the size of our Xingcheng! There are so many people inside, and there must be a lot of soldiers and officials. How can those disaster victims cause trouble? "
"By the way, no wonder there are more and more soldiers guarding the city in the past two or three days. Is it because they learned about the incident in Anping City and strengthened the defense?" Jiang Tian interrupted.
Qin Dazhu agreed, "It's possible. The number of disaster victims has been increasing over the past two days, but there hasn't been any major news. This might be because there are so many soldiers."
With soldiers there to intimidate, even if someone wanted to cause trouble, they had to consider whether their neck was strong or their sword was sharp.
Shen Qing's attention was focused on what Zhao Mingyue said, 'as much as five times the size of Xingcheng'!
Mr. Jiang said that Anping City was a fortress and must be quite large, but the disaster victims had just started rioting in Anping City, so they did not dare and could not stop, and had to rush to the next place without stopping.
Now that Wen'an City is heavily guarded and prepared in advance, is it relatively safe now?
She didn't need too much time, just one or two hours, to take Huo Bing to the city to see a doctor - she always had headaches from time to time, and when she had a headache, she would break out in cold sweats, her face would turn pale, and she would be unable to stand.
Being sick is not a pleasant feeling. Since she was in Xingcheng, she has been planning to find a famous doctor to check her pulse when passing by a big city to find out the cause. The roads she has taken so far either bypass the city or are very small and comparable to Xingcheng.
If you finally come across a big one, should you seize it?
She looked at Mr. Jiang and asked, "Uncle, how long can we stay in Wen'an City?"
Mr. Jiang was originally planning to leave after lunch, but when he heard Shen Qing's serious question, he didn't answer but asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Shen Qing didn't hide anything and said directly: "A Bing is feeling a little unwell. I want to take her to the city to see a doctor. It's not an emergency, but it's a bit tricky. Doctors in big cities are more knowledgeable and should be able to diagnose the symptoms better, right?"
After saying that, he added, "Are there any big cities behind?"
Jiang Ying thought of another aspect: "Sister-in-law, even if there is a big city behind, what if the doctor can't see it?
We women will basically never leave Jincheng for the rest of our lives. Will we regret not seeing a doctor here?"
Now that I just happened to pass by, I still worry about this and that and don't want to see a doctor. Will I not worry about it in the future?
The journey, housework, children, money... many young women in the village have endured and suffered for decades.
"Yeah, let alone Jincheng, I'm afraid they rarely even go out to the village. You'd better go and have a look. If you miss this village, you will miss this store." Wang Cui also advised.
Feng Meng's idea was very simple. He said directly, "Aunt, you can go into the city and see a doctor without worry! We'll wait here. If Wen'an City is not safe for so many of us, then I think it will be just as dangerous elsewhere. Whether we leave early or late, we can't avoid danger!"
He just couldn't believe it. Their team had more than a hundred people, they had large animals pulling carts, they had swords and crossbows, and everyone was well fed. If there was still danger outside the city, then where could they be safe?
Since it’s dangerous, it’s better to go into the city and take a look.
Finally, Master Jiang said, "With a large animal pulling the cart, we don't have to worry about the speed. We have been busy traveling these days. Since you have this plan, you can rest here in the afternoon and set off tomorrow morning.
By the way, ask others if anyone wants to go into the city together, so we can go together."
Shen Qing was originally worried about other families in the village. She didn't want their family to be delayed. When she heard them say this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
It was so safe and heartwarming to have a group of teammates who supported and helped each other on the escape route.

Although Huo Bing was going to see a doctor, the world was not peaceful at the moment and no one was comfortable with the two of them going alone.
It just so happened that many families needed to purchase things, so in the end a small team was formed by Feng Meng, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, Jiang Xiangxi, Jiang Datou, Jiang Daxi and Qin Erzhu. They not only protected the two men's safety, but also bought things for the villagers.
After entering the city, they found out about Huichuntang, where a famous doctor was staying, and headed straight there.
After arriving, Shen Qing saw a small stall selling wontons outside the clinic. He took out some change and said to Jiang Xiangxi, "Xiangxi, take the elders and brothers to have a bowl of hot wontons. Buy some sesame cakes or buns to go with it. Your sister-in-law and I will go in."
Originally, it would have been more appropriate for the husband, Xiangdong, to come over and greet them, but the two children were small and needed someone to look after them. With Mommy away, wouldn't Daddy have to take over? Besides, the second child was taller, stronger, and more skilled than the eldest, so from a safety perspective, he was indeed more advantageous.
It’s just that the second child is quiet and not very good at dealing with people - commonly known as social phobia.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and told Jiang Datao and Jiang Daxi, "We're here today for my sister-in-law's family. Don't let anyone else grab the bill when you eat. Make sure Xiangxi pays, okay?"
No matter which dynasty, rushing to pay the bill is a technical and physical job.
