After exchanging information, Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue both came to a conclusion.
The illness is caused by drinking dirty water.
At this time, the village doctor came out of the villager's house. He was panting and his forehead was covered with sweat. It was obvious that he could not cope with so many patients.
What should I do? Xu Xingchen suddenly thought of Lu Heng.
Didn't he call himself a doctor? Perhaps he could help.
She hurriedly took Jun Haoyue to her aunt's house. When he heard her plan, Jun Haoyue looked hesitant.
"Don't you think Lu Heng is a little strange?"
Xu Xingchen suddenly stopped in his tracks. "It's true. This village is so remote, most people wouldn't pass by. But Lu Heng came here, and we don't even know where he came from."
But the situation is urgent, let's wait until he cures the patient before checking again!"
Seeing her insistence, Jun Haoyue did not express his doubts aloud.
The two soon arrived at the aunt's house.
After they explained their purpose, perhaps because he was a kind-hearted doctor, Lu Heng agreed without hesitation.
"Mom, I'm back."
Just as they were walking towards the patient's home, Munduner suddenly came back with something.
Xu Xingchen was thinking about something and didn't have time to hide it, so Lu Heng saw it.
Lu Heng was shocked: "Is this a child from the village?"
Xu Xingchen casually hugged Mundun'er in his arms. At the same time, Jun Haoyue also stood in front of her: "Yes, this is the child in the village. He usually likes to play with his cousin."
Xu Xingchen quickly followed up his words, saying, "The child's attire is a bit strange, but he's just a child, so just dress casually. No need to be too particular. By the way, Doctor Lu, please go to the village chief's house up ahead and help. I just saw that everyone's condition is quite serious."
At Xu Xingchen's urging, Lu Heng suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
With his joining, all the patients in the village were cured and their respective prescriptions were also issued.
"Dr. Lu, thank you so much."
"I almost died from the pain today. If it weren't for Doctor Lu's miraculous healing skills, I don't know what I would have done!"
The patients whose health gradually improved praised Lu Heng.
The latter smiled modestly. "Thank you for your compliments. It's just a simple favor, nothing to worry about. By the way, it's been raining a lot lately, and the rainwater is dirty. Please remember to boil the water before drinking it, otherwise the problem will recur."
"Okay, we'll remember it!"
One villager sighed, "The scholars from the city are really different. Look, even their speech is elegant and they seem very learned!"
Everyone looked at Lu Heng with a bit of respect.
The disease was cured, and everyone should be happy, but Xu Xingchen couldn't smile, and his eyes kept looking towards the fields with worry.
It takes time for the villagers to recover their strength. Even if they recover by then, their physical strength will not be able to support them working in the heavy rain.
Alas, the crops cannot be saved.
After a few days, when the villagers had enough energy to work, the heavy rain finally stopped, but it was of no use because the fields were washed away and all the crops died.
After seeing this scene, an aunt couldn't bear it and sat on the ground crying.
"If the crops die, how will we eat? We'll all starve to death this year!"
The faces of the others were also gloomy.
Xu Xingchen was also in a bad mood. She had worked so hard to grow all those crops, and to see them gone was heartbreaking! But in order to complete the task, she had to suppress her sadness and go out: "Auntie, don't lose heart. It's too early to say we'll starve to death. What we should do now is to rest the fields and sow again, not be sad."
Aunt Wu stood up and sneered, "It's easy for you to say 'reseeding', but do you have any seeds? How can you plant crops in this broken land?"
Under normal circumstances, Xu Xingchen would have definitely retorted, but she was in a bad mood today and really didn't want to argue with Aunt Wu.
Fortunately, Jun Haoyue spoke at this time.
"First, let the fields rest, then find some wood ash and fertilizer. In a few days, you can replant them. Although the crop yield may decrease due to the wrong season, it's better than getting nothing at all."
Village Chief Wu also agreed: "That's true. This is a difficult hurdle, but if we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome it."
The other villagers cheered.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, Zhao Gan came over, looking puzzled, "I heard the sound from a long distance just now."
Xu Xingchen's eyes lit up and he explained a few words to him.
Zhao Gan immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll help too. This is something I'm good at!" He came here to discuss the industrial chain with Xu Xingchen, but now that he saw that they were in trouble, as a man, he certainly couldn't stand idly by.
With everyone working together, the accumulated water in the fields was quickly cleared away.
But this is just the first step, and there are still many difficulties waiting.
While Jun Haoyue led the villagers to rest in the fields, Xu Xingchen was not idle at home either, and put up a wooden sign.
Make money by embroidery.
The fields that the villagers relied on for their livelihoods were washed away by the floods, leaving them without a source of income. To make a living, they needed to find a new way. Embroidery was a new way Xu Xingchen had come up with recently. Her secret was a technique Mendun'er had brought back from abroad: thread-drawing embroidery. This method produced beautiful flowers.
It's a pity that this technique has been lost for a long time. If it were taught to the villagers, it would be a way to get rich.
It depends on whether they are willing to learn.
Xu Xingchen brought a small stool and sat at the door. After a while, someone came over curiously to ask for advice.
"Your embroidery really sells for money? It's different from the embroidery methods on the market. Will anyone buy it?"
Xu Xingchen vowed: "It will happen."
The women who came to ask questions looked at each other and walked forward with a smile: "Good sister, since we are from the same village, can you teach us too?"
"I can teach you, even for free. But someone from your family will have to help my cousin."
She can’t teach for nothing, right?
The faces of several women changed. Jun Haoyue's work required wading through water and digging soil, which was so tiring. How could they bear to let their men do it?
An auntie asked with a smile: "Besides this, is there any other way?"
Xu Xingchen thought about it and said, "If you can't help, then just pay my tuition."
They feel that embroidery cannot make money.
Xu Xingchen was so angry that he almost threw the bench. No wonder the people in this village were poor. It was because they were lazy and unwilling to work hard!
"Sister, I want to learn."
Just as Xu Xingchen was sulking, a hand gently tugged at her sleeve. It was Auntie Fatty's daughter, Erya. She opened her big round eyes and asked, "Can you teach me? I can pay my sister's tuition!"
Xu Xingchen was amused. "Really? What are you going to use as tuition?"
