I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The next morning, Ji Xiaobei left before dawn.

She took Huang Po away.

The people of Ye County all gathered in the South City. With so many people, it was easy for diseases to spread.

Ji Xiaobei planned to ask Huang Po to boil some herbs in advance and give them to the people to drink to strengthen their bodies.

The women in the cave got up one after another, boiled water, washed themselves, and started to get busy.

The men were busy too...

The people of Ye County were in panic, so Ji Xiaobei took Huang Po to the south city.

The shelter in the south city was built next to the well that had just been dug. It was called a shelter, but it was actually just a few tents with a few large stoves and a black pot on top.

We were only given one meal of porridge every day, which was not enough to fill us up but not enough to starve us to death.

The people of Ye County who could not leave relied on this porridge to make a living.

Huang Po felt sad as she watched a woman holding a child coming towards her.

The child in her arms was crying heartbreakingly.

"What's wrong with the child?" asked Mrs. Huang.

"My stomach hurts. I don't know what I ate. It started hurting last night and it's even worse now. Grandma, do you know where I can find a doctor?" The woman saw that Grandma Huang was dressed decently and cleanly, and thought that she must be the housekeeper of a wealthy family.

"Let me take a look!"

Huang Po said this and walked towards the child.

The woman quickly picked up the child and sat on a big rock, looking at Huang Po with gratitude.

Mrs. Huang took her pulse and rubbed her stomach.

"What did you eat last night?" asked Mrs. Huang.

"I didn't take it, and it started hurting yesterday..." the woman said while crying.

The child only had a bowl of thin porridge yesterday. She felt so distressed, but there was nothing she could do as there was nothing to eat at home!

I followed the people to the south city and had some porridge to drink.

"Go over there and put the child on the grass. I'll give her a few injections..." said Mrs. Huang.

"Oh, you are the doctor?" the woman said in surprise, and quickly put the crying child down.

Mrs. Huang took out a silver needle and slowly inserted it into the child's hard belly.

After a while, the child stopped crying and shouted that he was hungry with tears in his eyes.

Huang Po took up the needle and said, "It's okay, give her something to eat!"

The woman quickly kowtowed to Huang Po to express her gratitude.

"Food? Where is there any food? We have to wait for the porridge to be served over there later. Baby, wait a little longer, wait a little longer!" The woman turned around to comfort the child.

The people around gave Huang Po a thumbs up and praised her medical skills.

Huang Po sighed, pulled the woman aside, took out a piece of cake from her bosom and said, "Here you go!"

"Ah, thank you, old immortal... I kowtow to you!"

The woman kowtowed three more times before taking her things and leaving.

As people watched, the woman did not take out the cake on the spot, but took the child and left.

An old lady trembled as she walked up to Huang Po and said, "Old Immortal, could you please take a look at me? My heart is beating so fast, I am so panicked!"

Huang Po: Ah, this is a bit tricky!

She felt the old lady's pulse and found it was indeed beating very fast.

"Take this pill first. Is there any family member here? Help you lie down first. I'll come over to check on you later..." Mrs. Huang called.

A middle-aged man squeezed in and helped the old lady walk away.

Mrs. Huang examined the two children again, but unfortunately there was no medicine.

She had to go back. There were still some herbs in the house she rented in North City, but how could she go back such a long way?

Ji Xiaobei had just left, and she didn’t know where to find her.

At this time, County Magistrate Liang and his men happened to pass by here, and Huang Po was delighted.

With Magistrate Liang here, this matter will be easy to handle!

Mrs. Huang ran over and told the magistrate of Liang County.

County Magistrate Liang has been so busy these past few days that he is almost unable to hold on any longer. He really wants to find a doctor to give him a refreshing injection.

After inviting Huang Po to the place where the work was done, Liang Yuhui slumped in the chair.

"Mrs. Huang, thank you for coming to Ye County to treat the people at this time. Please tell me if you need anything..."

Mrs. Huang nodded and said, "Liang County Magistrate, you should also take care of your health. Staying up late all the time is not good for you. Your qi and blood are insufficient and your liver fire is strong. You may get sick! So, I will take your pulse and prescribe some medicine. I will have my subordinates make it for you to replenish your body."

Liang Yu nodded gratefully and sent someone to follow Huang Po to her home to get the medicine.

He also asked someone to bring the list of herbal medicines in the county government warehouse to Huang Po, and told her to just go and get whatever she needed.

Huang Po rode back in a horse-drawn carriage, took some commonly used herbs, and followed the yamen runners to the south city.

When she arrived at the shelter, three young men were already waiting for her.

They were people selected by the county government from among the common people who had some knowledge of medicine.

The doctors in the pharmacies in Ye County had fled the famine long ago, and now not a single one can be found.

Seeing that the visitor was just an old lady, the three men did not take her seriously and thought to themselves: The county magistrate asked us to help her, but she doesn't look like someone who knows medicine.

"Do you three know these herbs?" Grandma Huang handed the herbs in her hand to them.

The three people looked at it for a long time, and each of them said something different.

Mrs. Huang: Forget it, you just heard the names of common herbs. At this moment, she missed Lian Feng so much.

When I meet Ji Xiaobei in the evening, I have to ask her to bring Lian Feng over.

Otherwise this job can’t be done!

When they heard that a doctor had arrived, the sick people ran towards them as if they had seen a savior.

Mrs. Huang sat in the tent, with the two young men standing on her left and right.

Another one, maintains order at the door.

Two days passed like this, and there was finally movement from the Western Barbarians. About 20 troops were stationed outside the border line miles away from the gate of Ye County.

General Fang was also on high alert.

The two armies faced each other, seemingly waiting for some signal.

Ji Xiaobei and his colleagues are mobile personnel, ready to receive orders and wait for deployment at any time.

Fu Jichang and his men traveled day and night without stopping for a moment and arrived near Anzhou.

"Heita, take the badge and go find General Wei and give him this letter!"

Fu Jichang took off the badge from his waist and handed it to Heita.

Heita rode his horse and disappeared into the night.

Fu Jichang and He Ye ran directly to the Anzhou Guard near Xishan Guard Station.

"Old Fu, the escort team only has about a thousand people. I'm afraid they are a little short. I'll go to the Xishan Guard Station to find Old Hou. He will definitely be able to help."

He Ye said while looking at the dark night.

Although he didn't know what he would face next, he wanted to help Fu Jichang, whether he succeeded or not.

"Is it reliable?" Fu Jichang asked with some concern.

"Lao Hou is my subordinate, he is reliable. At that time, the two of us formed a small team of more than 100 people. These 100 people are reliable, but I can't say about the rest."

He Ye said.

"Okay, let's split up. You go to the Xishan Guard Station, and I'll go to the Anzhou Guard."

After that, the two men rode away on horseback.

Heita rode his horse all the way to the Green Forest Army camp. The surroundings were very quiet, with only a few patrolmen walking back and forth with knives in hand.

Heita reined in the horse, and the horse neighed, breaking the silence.
