Escape after crossing

Doctor Hu listened very seriously, but he could not practice for the time being. Jiang Ziluo also told Doctor Hu that he wanted to learn Chinese medicine from him.

It was at this time that Doctor Hu realized that Jiang Ziluo could not take the pulse, but he knew some simple diseases and the required medicinal herbs.

Doctor Hu didn't say anything else and agreed immediately. So Jiang Ziluo followed Doctor Hu and started to learn the simplest Chinese medicine.

Jiang Ziluo also agreed that when conditions permitted or they settled down, he would definitely teach Dr. Hu what he wanted to learn.

Doctor Hu not only taught Jiang Ziluo, but also kept his promise to teach Jiang Hongyu to read.

Although I couldn't teach him poetry, songs and prose like a teacher in a school, I still taught him simple words, simple poems and enlightening content.

The Jiang family studies and exercises as needed, and every day is fulfilling, which makes them stand out among the crowd.

How do they look like refugees? Apart from being a little dusty, they don't look like refugees at all.

After Bai Yi left, he never came back. Jiang Ziluo also put the matter behind him.

After walking for ten days, they finally arrived at Bailing City in Huaizhou. There were also many refugees outside Bailing City.

Village Chief Zheng took his eldest son Zheng Daqiang to find out whether the local officials take care of the refugees.

Village chief Zheng had already asked the villagers on the way, and they knew that they had been eating wild vegetables for the past ten days and that they didn't have much food left.

They were afraid that they would not be able to hold out until the next city, so Village Chief Zheng kept praying in his heart that the officials of Bailing City would open their eyes and take care of the refugees.

Maybe God opened his eyes, or maybe the superiors had a change of heart, and all cities nearby with refugees were to accept them unconditionally.

If there are too many refugees, they must be given enough food to sustain them until the next city, and an explanation from the government must be given.

Although this is good news for everyone, Village Chief Zheng also said that when he went to report to the government just now.

I heard a few clerks say, "Since the day before yesterday, there have been more and more refugees. I heard that the prefect called the officials from various counties to discuss how to arrange it. I didn't expect that so many more came today."

Another clerk said, "I don't know if we can complete the arrangements. We are all poor people. If we arrange it sooner, we can settle down sooner and have less wandering."

"I heard that this idea was proposed to His Majesty by the Ninth Prince, who does not take care of the affairs..."

"Shh... We don't know anything, just do our best."

Village chief Zheng did not dare to stay any longer. He brought Zheng Daqiang back to tell everyone the news he had heard, so that everyone could feel at ease.

"Village chief, when can we be arranged with accommodation?" asked a villager.

"Yes, village chief, with so many people, won't there be any good places for us?"

"Village Chief, can our village continue to be together?"

"Yes, if we are not assigned together, what if we are bullied by people from other villages?"

……

Although Village Chief Zheng brought back good news, the problems that followed cannot be ignored.

But these problems are also what the village chief is worried about, and they are not something he can solve.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet and listen to me. I have asked what you said, and the person who registered said that this has to wait for the prefect and the county magistrates to discuss and decide.

Let's wait for news here. If we can't be together, just take care of yourselves.

Maybe they can be separated not far away, or maybe they can be separated together?"

After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers’ originally happy mood became unhappy because of too much instability.

Neighbors who are close to each other are always reluctant to part, for they are afraid that they will not be able to live together and will hardly see each other in the future.

Some women discussed together, and since they couldn't be grouped together, they would visit each other during the holidays, since they all came from the same place.

The children also said goodbye to each other, but they didn’t stay quiet for long and started playing again.

……

Everyone waited until noon the next day with joy and anxiety. After noon, a servant came to call the village chief to go to the city gate, and the rest of the people waited there.

When Village Chief Zheng came back, he was followed by two people. Everyone was nervous when they saw someone following him.

"Village Chief, how is it?"

"Village Chief, do we want to separate?"

"Village Chief, are we going to the next city?"

……

Everyone was anxious to know the result so that they could calm down. The village chief also looked very embarrassed.

"Jingjing, listen to me, we can stay, but there are two choices, listen carefully.

One of them was that we were from the same village, but the land we were assigned was of very poor quality and it was far away from the town and county seat.

Another reason is that, according to the distribution by the adults, the land we were allocated was good and close to the town and the county seat.

So now we have to make a choice. My opinion is that we should separate and find a better place with better fields.

It will allow everyone to settle down faster, the fields are good, and it will be easier to support a family."

The village chief said nothing more after this, and let everyone discuss. Although everyone was reluctant to part in the past two days, they encountered this situation now.

They all hope to be allocated a good place, especially a place with good farmland. For those who have been digging for food in the fields all their lives, the most important thing is to have a farmland that can feed the whole family.

One of the two people who came with Village Chief Zheng said, "Everyone should make a decision as soon as possible, while it's still early and we can still make it to the distribution place."

Village Chief Zheng knew that he had no choice but to make a decision. "Every head of the family, come to me."

Soon, more than a dozen men came to the village chief. "Tell me what you think."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to speak. Seeing this, Village Chief Zheng said:

"Since no one wants to say anything, then just do as I say and separate. As for how to separate, these two will tell you later."

Finally, the Zheng family and Jiang Runzhi's family were assigned to the same county, and Zheng became just a villager.

The rest were divided into two counties. Fortunately, these three counties were not too far away from each other. By the end, no one had heard where Doctor Hu was divided.
