Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Xiaoqi’s Dissatisfaction

On the early morning of the third day of Lunar New Year, Wang Jingzhi and several other fellow students had already packed up their belongings and were only waiting for Shen Wenchen’s people to send them to treat the illnesses in the villages.

"You all have to endure hardship this time."

Looking at the doctors in front of him, Shen Wenchen felt a sense of relief.

Currently, there is no longer any need for secrecy, and they are exactly short of manpower. Although the second in command of Qing Fenghan had found the treatment, the situation of the patients is still not promising.

The second in command merely stated that they needed doctors specialized in acupuncture to go help.

Yesterday, he sent people to various medical halls to find more doctors and this morning, a total of eleven arrived.

While it wasn’t much, they were still decently staffed.

From Jihe Hall alone, three came.

The medical skills of Sun Qian from Jihe Hall were well known and recognized by the people of Yan City. Now, seeing that Wang Jingzhi and his two fellow students were preparing to venture out of the city to practice medicine, they felt somewhat relieved.

This at least indicated that their lord didn’t abandon the commoners outside the city. Yan City was also home to many people from other places, most of whom had suffered from natural disasters and other calamities and could not find a way out in their hometown, so they had chosen to leave their homes and seek livelihood in Yan City.

They naturally knew how such situations were handled elsewhere.

Compared with those, Shen Wenchen was already a very decent official.

"Since everyone is ready, let’s set off."

After dealing with the affairs at home, Shen Wenchen left the city as well.

He was only planning to replace some of the soldiers to let them return to the city for rest.

While in the city, at least there was a chance for rest, while the soldiers stationed in the villages had to protect the people’s safety all day long.

Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu stood side by side, silently watching their retreating figures.

After the incident last time, Shen Zhiyu and Xiaomi had calmed down a bit and didn’t sneak out of the city again, but obediently stayed at home studying their lessons.

"Mother, when will father come back?"

Shen Zhiyu looked at her father’s retreating figure and felt a sense of unease in her heart.

"After the situation outside the city is dealt with, your father will return."

Nanzhi gently patted the little one’s head, feeling worried herself.

Her intuition was usually accurate, and this time she had an unsettling feeling again.

She was afraid that something might happen.

As soon as the second in command’s medicine proved effective, he sent it to the other villages. Now, while there were enough doctors, he worried that they might not know how to administer it properly, so Shen Wenchen first had the soldiers go and swap shifts at each village, while he himself took Wang Jingzhi and the others to the village where Chi Sheng was.

"General!"

Aze, with his sharp eyes, spotted Shen Wenchen in front and his face broke out in a smile.

"Aze."

Shen Wenchen also replied with a smile and entered the village with his group.

Among the doctors, some were older, and others were about the same age as Wang Jingzhi. Now all of them carried their medical boxes off the carriage, eliciting joy from the villagers.

The doctor had come to treat the patients in the village!

Although the selected patients had already woke up, they still experienced nausea, vomiting, and muscle fatigue. As the second in command was busy preparing other antidotes, it was impossible for him to take care of everyone alone.

Others had the mind to help, but per the second in command’s instructions, it was uncertain whether these diseases would spread like Rat Plague, so aside from two women who were chosen to take care of the patients and the second in command himself, no one else was allowed to step foot into that courtyard.

Now that the city lord had brought doctors over, wasn’t that equivalent to saving their lives?

Taking into account that other doctors still had to rush to other villages, Shen Wenchen only asked Wang Jingzhi and two other experienced doctors to enter the courtyard for treatment.

After waiting outside for about two quarters of an hour, they heard the sound of movement inside the courtyard.

"Jingzhi, how is the situation inside?"

Wang Jingzhi’s fellow student, Ye Ze, asked through the door.

"Brother, this disease is a bit strange."

Wang Jingzhi knew that this disease would definitely be a bit tricky, but he hadn’t expected such strange symptoms.

Shen Wenchen, being a non-professional, didn’t stay around any longer but followed the directions his god-daughter pointed out to find Chi Sheng and Ming Qin.

"General Shen."

Upon seeing him arrive, Ming Qin simply smiled, nodded, and greeted him.

Although Chi Sheng felt a bit sour in his heart, he didn’t say much and just poured him some tea.

"This matter has caused trouble for General Shen."

Though he felt bitterly about it, he was a reasonable person after all.

From the establishment of homes in the village to the accumulation of food in the village currently, he owed Shen Wenchen a lot.

"It’s no trouble." Shen Wenchen accepted the tea, then turned his head to look at Ming Qin.

"Elder, in addition to this matter, there’s another matter I need your help with."

Upon hearing this, Chi Sheng’s ears perked up, wanting to hear what he had to say.

At the side, Yuanbao knew that this was the adults’ business, so he immediately called Erniu to go play outside.

"Yuanbao, your mother is really beautiful."

Erniu murmured as he followed Yuanbao out. He thought she looked like a fairy from the heavens.

"Of course, my mom is the most beautiful." Yuanbao proudly lifted his head, and then, as if he remembered something, stopped to add, "And my godmother is beautiful too!"

"Who’s your godmother?"

Erniu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"It’s the wife of the city lord of Yan City."

"Was it the pregnant woman last time?" Erniu furrowed his brows, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, she’s my godmother."

"Then why didn’t they take you to the city? My mom said that life in the city is better!"

Yuanbao hadn’t thought about this before, and when Erniu suddenly asked, he didn’t know how to respond.

Xiaoqi saw Yuanbao and Erniu standing by the field from afar. Before he could turn around to leave, he saw a rat creeping towards Yuanbao in the next second.

His pupils contracted instantly. Without warning, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Erniu was closer, so he spotted the flying arrow sooner and was frozen in place, scared stiff.

Yuanbao saw the arrow and the one who shot it--Xiaoqi--and just stood there without moving.

The arrow penetrated the rat’s body and pegged it to the ground.

The dark red blood spread out, almost splattering onto Yuanbao’s dress.

"Run home."

Xiaoqi quickly stepped forward to retrieve his arrow, but spoke to Erniu.

When a rat appears, a swarm is not far behind.

Now, they were coming earlier and earlier.

Erniu had been frightened out of his wits long ago. He had always hidden at home during the village’s rat extermination, so where would he have seen such a scene?

"Alright, alright."

Erniu was nodding his head in agreement, stumbling as he ran back home.

"Yuanbao, what are you daydreaming for! Do you know how dangerous just now was?"

Xiaoqi frowned, the cold anger apparent on his face.
