Wang Ziru listened to these childish words and said helplessly, "It's not that simple."
"The scenery over there is the same. We won't even know where to go, so how can we possibly steal anything? Furthermore, the Turks have strong horses and powerful cavalry. We won't have as many horses as them, and we won't be as familiar with the terrain as they are."
"Their tribe doesn't have a fixed place to stay. How can we rob them if we don't know their exact location?"
It is undeniable that the problem mentioned by County Magistrate Wang does exist, but Ji Changying is not the kind of person who would give up without trying:
"What you're saying is that problems can be overcome, right? Are we lambs to be slaughtered? Are we the barbarians' backyard? They come to rob us when they're hungry, and when they're short of something, they come to rob us, and all we can do is endure it?"
Ji Changying sneered: "Impossible!"
County Magistrate Wang wasn't someone who could fight on the battlefield. He simply analyzed the current situation rationally: "Perhaps there is a way, but that's not something we should consider."
Even if there are any ideas, it is the business of the garrison.
Xie Siheng listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly said, "This matter is not that simple. There are Qiang and Rouran people mixed in with those Turks, and the sudden increase in their manpower suggests that these foreign tribes have reached some kind of agreement."
"Not only Gan County, but the entire Liangzhou was looted. In addition to food, a lot of medicinal herbs were also stolen. These were all the medicinal herbs that were announced during this epidemic."
"What does this mean?"
A shadow fell over Wang Ziru's heart. Could it be...
"Could it be that someone among them has been infected with the plague?" Ji Fengshou took a breath and speculated on this possibility.
"It's possible."
As soon as Xie Siheng finished speaking, Si Hu and County Magistrate Wang almost collapsed to the ground.
"But there's no need to rush. This is all speculation at the moment. We need to wait for news from Liangzhou to arrive. For now, we need to comfort the people, resettle the injured, rebuild the houses in the city, and return to normal life as soon as possible."
Xie Siheng looked at the two people who were very shocked and tapped the table to make them sober up.
Ji Fengshou patted his head to calm himself down. He couldn't even take care of his own family affairs, so why should he think so much?
"Then you guys go ahead and do your work, we'll be leaving first."
Ji Feng regained his composure and was about to take his wife and children home.
Before leaving, Ji Changying glanced at County Magistrate Wang. Seeing that he still didn't seem to have anything to say, she couldn't help but ask him, "Sir Wang! When are you going to pick up your wife?"
Magistrate Wang's mind was full of official business, and he was stunned when he heard her words: "What do you mean?"
Ji Changying frowned. This guy even forgot his own wife? Tsk, too unreliable!
She turned and left without saying anything more, but unexpectedly, County Magistrate Wang called out to her anxiously, "Wait! What do you mean? Have you seen my wife? Where is she?"
Zhou turned her head and looked at him unhappily: "You are not qualified as a husband. You don't even care about your own wife!"
County Magistrate Wang also felt wronged: "How can you say this? I sent someone to Liangzhou yesterday to look for my wife, but there has been no news yet. Why are you treating me like this?"
Ji Changying looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Your wife is at my house, not in Liangzhou! Didn't they tell you that the Qingyi Army is back?"
As she said this she looked towards Ying Er.
Ying Er looked at her: "Is Madam Wang at your house? Why didn't I see her?"
Ji Changying was so disappointed: "One of the two women I saved that day was her!"
"Oh, I don't know him."
·····
County Magistrate Wang quickly asked for details, and when he heard that only Shaoyao and Madam Wang were rescued, his face turned pale.
I'm afraid the attendant who has served him since he was a child is gone...
County Magistrate Wang was silent for a moment, then he looked at Ji Fengshou with a deep smile, "There's a lot going on at the county office, and many buildings have collapsed. I'm afraid it'll take some time to repair them. Could you please take care of them for me, my dear brother? After a few days, I'll send someone to bring my wife back!"
In the blink of an eye, County Magistrate Wang actually called Ji Fengshou "brother", which made him secretly happy. However, he remained calm and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Well, it's not a big deal. We will treat you well as a guest! Madam, you can stay as long as you want."
Magistrate Wang looked at him gratefully and said, "My dear brother, you are a man of broad mind. Please wait a moment while I write a letter to my wife."
He turned around, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a paragraph neatly. He didn't even put it in an envelope, but just folded it and handed it to Ji Fengshou.
"Please pass it to the lady for me."
Ji Fengshou naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to build relationships. He took it frankly and put it into his sleeve without even looking at it: "Sure."
After watching the three people go to the backyard, County Magistrate Wang turned around and looked at the piles of memorials and records on the table with a headache.
Xie Siheng sat in Ji Fengshou's position and took over the work he was originally doing.
Ying Er looked at him, hesitant to speak.
When will the master go to Xiaotian Village to meet Ren Dongnan? He is so anxious!
When the family of three arrived at the wing room, Ji Shilin and the others were awake. Although their faces still looked a little pale, they were in good spirits.
Seeing the surprised smiles on their faces, "You're here?! Can we go home now?"
Doctor Lin looked at them unhappily from the side: "I took such good care of you, and you just want to leave like that?"
Ji Shitou's face wrinkled like a bitter melon: "Four bowls of medicine a day, I feel like vomiting after drinking so much!"
"What's the difference between this and forcing us to eat shit every day?"
Doctor Lin's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll really give you some extra!"
If I had known earlier, I would have added some Ren Zhong Huang to the prescription for these guys so that they could enjoy it.
Seeing the doctor angry, Ji Shilin quickly stopped his two brothers: "Shishan! Shitou! Doctor Lin asked us to take the medicine for our own good. What nonsense are you talking about? Apologize!"
When the two heard what their eldest brother said, they shrank their necks and didn't dare to say anything: "Sorry!"
Doctor Lin had been taking care of them for the past two days and knew what kind of people they were. When he heard their apology, he just snorted and didn't take it to heart.
Ji Changying couldn't help laughing when she saw this: "Doctor Lin, can they move now?"
"Try not to move. If you're going home, find a comfortable carriage with thick padding to avoid pulling on the wound. Change the dressings on external injuries promptly after you return. Drink the medicine every three hours without interruption."
As Doctor Lin spoke, he packed the medicine and handed it to Ji Changying.
After hearing this, Ji Fengshou responded and went to the county government office to borrow a carriage.
Ji Changying quietly pulled Doctor Lin aside and asked, "How much is the consultation fee and medicine cost?"
Doctor Lin waved his hand and said, "You saved me once, so the two of us cancel each other out. I won't mention this matter anymore."
