Chapter 997 Awesome
The third brother also started to cry: "Many people in our village have starved to death. It's cold now. We are frozen stiff. Even if we die, we want to die with a full stomach."
The other two little ones were crying loudly beside them.
He looks about seven or eight years old.
"What are you crying for?" In the past, they looked so pitiful and I didn't want to deal with them.
Send them to the government. The government is also losing a lot. At least one steamed bun a day should be guaranteed to prevent them from starving to death.
Sending it to the government would be a waste of food.
"One of them should whip him and throw him out, so as not to disturb the noble man's rest." As long as it did not threaten the risk of their trip, he didn't bother to care.
I'm going to sleep outside, I'm a light sleeper.
He stood by the window and looked at the situation in the backyard.
Seeing that the matter had been handled, he finally felt relieved.
The world is in such a mess right now that he has to be careful.
When you go out, your safety comes first.
After making sure it was safe, he lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.
Soon I fell into a drowsy dream.
I woke up in the morning and found it was white outside. It snowed in the middle of the night.
Gu Yao couldn't help but frowned: "Xiao Zhen, can we continue walking in this situation outside?"
"Under normal circumstances, it's possible to walk on this thickness of snow, but the journey will be slower. I don't know if it's snowing in other places? Yaonan Road might be easier to walk on. Let Xiao Yi go and call Li Qian over." Xiao Zhen made a gesture to Xiao Yi.
When Li Qian heard that Gu Yao had gotten up, he immediately went upstairs and found Gu Yao.
"Ms. Gu, you're already up. Have some breakfast and we'll leave later." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Then I'll listen to you." Gu Yao went downstairs and walked to the top of the stairs.
I saw Hu Li was already eating.
"Good morning, Doctor Hu." Gu Yao smiled and sat down.
"Good morning, Doctor Gu. Today's breakfast of rice porridge with pickles is pretty good." Hu Li was very content as long as he had something to eat.
When he lived alone, he only had two meals a day.
Some time ago, when there were people on duty in the palace, he tried his best to be on duty so that he could have his working meals in the palace.
This would save him a lot of food.
"It's snowing heavily outside today. Shall we continue walking?" Hu Li looked at Li Qian beside him curiously.
"This little bit of snow is child's play for us. We are soldiers. How much can this snow do? We have someone driving the carriage so it won't affect us. The journey may be a little slower. Two doctors, pack your luggage and we will leave soon." Li Qian said seriously.
The sooner they leave, the sooner those suffering from the plague can recover.
"As long as I can walk normally, those patients with the plague can get treatment as soon as possible." It didn't matter where Gu Yao lived. Even if it was freezing and snowy outside, he didn't mind living in a carriage because he had a hot pack.
"Doctor Gu is righteous. I can do anything. Art is limited. I will follow Doctor Gu." Hu Li said with great insight.
His job in the palace was to prepare medicinal materials. How could he have a role in visiting the concubines in the other palaces?
He just needs to follow Gu Yao closely. If Gu Yao dares to go to the plague city, it means she has the ability to protect herself. If she follows him, she can save her life.
Li Qian had already asked his men to pack up the carriage and tie iron chains to the wheels.
Gu Yao couldn't help but sigh. The ancient people were really smart.
This method is still very common in later generations.
Tying chains to the wheels is the most effective way to deal with rain and snow.
Before getting on the carriage, Gu Yao looked at Li Qian and said, "Captain Li, safety comes first. Your own safety comes first, too. Without life, there is nothing left. It's snowing, and the roads are slippery. Have you applied all the necessary plasters?"
Hu Li hadn't gotten on the carriage yet, but he heard their conversation: "What kind of plaster are you talking about? Is it a pill?"
He was very curious, so he asked.
Li Qian laughed and said, "Thank you Miss Gu for the plaster. I have applied it to the brothers and they all said it works very well."
No wonder the person who sent them to Nanjiang in the morning always had a cold face. This morning, he had a faint smile on his face and didn't look so tense anymore.
These guys still have some conscience.
"That's good. Don't come down for the next few days. Soak your feet in water and apply another one after three days." Gu Yao said as she got on the carriage.
Hu Li was curious and knew they were going to leave. Doctor Gu and he were different in gender and did not ride in the same carriage.
Even if he was scratching his head and wanted to know, no one would tell him.
Wait until we get to the next resting place and then have a good chat with Dr. Gu.
Everyone else knows about it, but he is the only one kept in the dark. Doesn't that make him seem very shameless and ignorant?
Gu Yao looked at the risk of retreating outside. The speed was a little slower than usual, but not much different.
It took them three full days to get out of the snow-covered area. The weather became clearer the further south they went.
This made this winter less unbearable. They also moved south faster.
"Miss Gu, you are ready. In order to hurry up, let's walk a little longer. When it gets completely dark, we will camp and stay outside tonight. We wasted some time in the past few days. Now that the road is good later, let's walk a little longer every day." Li Qian said outside.
"It doesn't matter to me. I'll just sit in the carriage and don't need to do anything. I'll do whatever you say." Gu Yao was drowsy in the carriage all day. He slept when he was sleepy and ate when he was hungry.
He has become accustomed to this kind of life.
I have completely adapted to the bumps in the road.
Li Qian led the team in front and waited until it was completely dark before he stopped. Although there was still moonlight outside, it was still not very safe to walk at night.
Both man and horse need a rest.
Rest for a few hours before setting off again.
He had to leave before dawn tomorrow morning. The sooner he could reach southern Xinjiang, the sooner he could finish his work.
Gu Yao felt a little dizzy after getting off the carriage, and it took her a while to calm down.
After Hu Li came down, he let out a scream and started vomiting while holding onto the tree trunk.
Seeing Hu Li like this, Li Qian stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Hu, are you okay?" Li Qian didn't know how good Doctor Hu's medical skills were, but he dared to go to the plague city, which meant he was awesome and that was someone he admired.
Even a grown man who vomits loudly is not as good as Miss Gu.
Miss Gu swayed her body, then stood there looking very steady.
"Oh, the carriage is driving so fast today. I feel like I'm flying in the sky. How can I be okay? I'm about to fall apart. I can't take it anymore. I need to take a rest." After Hu Li finished vomiting, he collapsed on the ground.
"I'm really sorry, Doctor Hu. The people in southern Xinjiang are in a hurry. If you two go there, the patients there can't wait. If you go one day later, many more people may die." Li Qian looked solemn.
