Chapter 177: Yu Daniu’s Guess

Before Yu Sangou knew it, he finished the big meat bun in just a few mouthfuls. When he swallowed the last mouthful of meat buns, he gulped down the remaining warm water in the bowl. He then rubbed his stomach and felt the pricking pain slowly dissipate.

Sighing in satisfaction, he looked at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, where are the others?"

Yu Daniu knew who he was asking, and said, "Some of them are still unconscious. They are in the bedrooms."

Noticing the helplessness in his Grandfather’s tone, Yu Sangou held his thin hands and said, "Don’t worry, Grandpa. After resting for a while, I will go out and find some medicinal herbs for them."

Yu Daniu didn’t say anything after hearing what he said, because both of them knew it was impossible for him to find it. Everyone already knew that after seven years of drought, nothing could grow on this land anymore. Not to mention those medicinal herbs that are hard to grow and rare to come by, even grass can no longer be seen anywhere.

Yu Daniu patted his grandson’s hand and said with a smile: "Alright, then you have a good rest and get well soon."

Yu Sangou nodded to his grandfather, then lay down and closed his eyes. The wounds on his body were only wrapped in dirty clothes, and already festering in this hot weather. It didn’t take long for him to fall asleep because of his fever.

Yu Daniu sat beside his grandson, looking at his slightly flushed face because of the fever. He reached out and touched his forehead. When he felt Yu Sangou’s forehead was hot, he became anxious.

He got up from the floor, walked to the door, and left the house. While he was waiting anxiously outside the house, A Lu Da came with a young man carrying a medicine box. A symbol was painted on the back of the young man’s hand, symbolizing that he was a physician of the Yishi tribe. A Lu Da saw Yu Daniu waiting anxiously in front of the house from a distance, and walked faster.

"Old Grandpa, what are you doing outside of the house in this hot weather?" He asked curiously.

Yu Daniu looked at A Lu Da after hearing his question. When he saw another young man wearing clothes made from animal skins with different patterns painted on his body standing beside A Lu Da, he hesitated and said, "He is..."

The young man took a step forward, put his right hand on his heart, bowed slightly to Yu Daniu and said, "My name is Hede Gezu, one of the Yishi tribe’s healers. I came to visit the wounded at the request of A Lu Da."

Yu Daniu looked at his polite way of speaking and manner, and then suddenly looked at A Lu Da and Hede Gezu, and thought: ’These people... Could it be that they are not citizens of the Shang Empire?’

Despite his thought, Yu Daniu put his palms together and politely returned Hede Gezu’s greetings. He looked at the two young men standing in front of him, and said gratefully: "Thank you for coming, Physician Hede Gezu."

Hede Gezu smiled at him and said, "Old Grandpa, you can just call me Gezu."

Yu Daniu gestured to them to go inside first, and said, "Please come inside, Physician Gezu."

Since the house was built only yesterday, there were only a few soft rugs made of animal skins covering the floor for them to sit or lay down. Although the design is simple, the house has a living room, a bathroom and two bedrooms on the first floor, and then four more bedrooms on the second floor.

Stepping into the house, A Lu Da and Hede Gezu saw two men lying motionless on the soft rugs. Looking at their flushed faces, Hede Gezu knew immediately that they were having a fever and that their wounds had begun to fester. He wasted no more time and walked to the first man lying not far from the door.

Putting down the medicine box he was carrying, he held the unconscious man’s wrist and felt his pulse. Yu Daniu watched his skillful movements closely, and didn’t dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing him.

A Lu Da stood at the door, looked at Yu Daniu and said, "Old Grandpa, I still have something to do so I’m leaving first. Gezu is one of the best physicians in the Yishi tribe, so you don’t have to worry."

After hearing his words, Yu Daniu’s anxious heart calmed down a little. He put his hands together, bowed slightly to A Lu Da and said, "Thank you, Young Master. You have done so much for us, but I still don’t know your name."

Unaccustomed to such polite greetings, A Lu Da scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "My name is A Lu Da and you can just call me by my name. Since there is nothing I can do here, then I will go first. If you need anything, please let us know."

Yu Daniu nodded, sent him out and said, "Please walk slowly, A Lu Da."

After saying goodbye to Yu Daniu, A Lu Da went to help A Lu Yu and the others build the remaining houses. While everyone in the village was busy with their work, Lin Zi City is facing a serious problem.

Sitting behind a large desk, Qi Baijun looked at the report sent by the military physician. The more he read, the deeper his frown became. After a while, he slammed the report on the table.

Standing in front of the desk, Chen Yiwei looked at him and asked, "Is the situation getting worse? What did Physician Gu write in his report?"

Qi Baijun pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration and said, "This disease spreads too quickly, and we don’t have enough medicine. Physician Gu said that if we can’t control the spreading as soon as possible, he fears it will turn into a plague."
