Cement, water and mud, it is hard to imagine its function from the name.

"Cement is a kind of mud mixture, used to build roads, strong and stable." Li Xi paused, "It can also be used to build houses, and it is extremely strong."

Gu Jingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, obviously he understood her implication. This thing can not only be used to build roads, but also to build city walls.

"How sturdy is it?" Gu Jingzhi asked.

"After drying, it will be as solid as a rock." After Li Xi said this, she waited for Gu Jingzhi to agree. She didn't believe that he would not be tempted by this sure-win deal.

If it weren't for the sake of her own legs and future personal safety, she might not have taken out the cement recipe.

"By the way, this recipe is yours now that I gave it to you. Don't involve me in this."

As a human being, you still have to be low-key, and developing in a subtle way is the right way to go.

Now I know that most people in the military camp only thought that I was a doctor with relatively good skills. Only the people in the tent that day knew that I was the one who developed the hemostatic drug.

She felt that this was good enough and she would keep it up. She didn't want to be the first to stand out. People are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. She still had to listen to her ancestors' words.

Gu Jingzhi guessed the reason why she did this. He accepted Li Xi's idea of ​​"being indifferent to fame and fortune" very well. During the short time they spent together in Lijiazhuang, he had already seen that she was a person who hated trouble.

Just like she hated me for being a big trouble at that time, if I hadn't bribed her with silver bills, I would have been kicked out of the house by her long ago.

"When do you plan to leave? I'll arrange for someone to escort you there."

"Let's do it today. Go to the meeting early."

Gu Jingzhi nodded and asked someone to notify Shi Hanshuo to come over.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you for finding a good teacher for Hu Zi." Li Xi suddenly smiled and looked at Gu Jingzhi, "But your family is really rich and powerful. It's a waste to have only Hu Zi and Shi Tou as students in such a large family school."

"How can it be a waste? Our Gu family has few members, and the clan school has always been a decoration. Now that Hu Zi and Shi Tou can go to the clan school to study, the elders in the family are very happy. I think the teacher is also very happy that he has a place to use his talents." Gu Jingzhi replied with a smile.

Li Xi's mouth twitched slightly. Okay, you can talk.

"I still want to thank you anyway, but..."

Gu Jingzhi knew that since she mentioned the clan studies, she would definitely not let it go so easily.

“But there are too few people in the clan school, which is also a problem. Huzi is still young. He just got acquainted with the private school and made a few good friends. He suddenly moved to Jiayuguan with me, so he feels unfamiliar with the place.

There are only two kids in the clan school, him and Shitou, so it's a bit lonely."

"What do you mean, are you planning to go in and accompany him?" Gu Jingzhi pretended to be in deep thought and said, "It's not impossible."

Li Xi:? ?

How could he have such a vicious idea to let me go to school?

Li Xi looked up at him and happened to meet his smiling eyes. What was there to not understand? He was just teasing her on purpose.

"Aren't you bored?" Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi speechlessly and directly expressed his thoughts, "How can there be only two people in the clan school? Learning also requires competition, and competition requires opponents.

Two people are too few. It's like two people playing cards. Either you win or I win. Either you come in first or second. What's the point of this?"

"so?"

"So, I want to ask if your clan school can have two more people join." She had promised Hu Zi that she would help him solve the problem of having too few partners, so she would naturally not go back on her word.

Although what Li Xi said was quite rough, it was indeed true. This clan school was specially opened to retain Li Xi. If the fifth doctor had not stuffed the stone in, there would probably be only Hu Zi as a student now.

"can."

Although the clan school was newly opened, the teachers there were indeed great scholars of the time with extensive knowledge.

Gu Jingzhi still has to hide behind others, so on the surface it was Gu Changfeng who arranged the arrangements for Li Xi and Doctor Wu.

At the border, every move of the Zhenbei General's Mansion was attracting attention. People moved into the two houses next to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention at the first time.

Unlike Li Xi who is an unknown person, Doctor Wu is very famous at the border. He worked as a military doctor in the military camp in his early years and only left Jiayuguan in recent years. No one knows where he went.

Many people saw him rushing back to treat Gu Jingzhi after he was injured, but everyone knew that the result of the treatment might not be good. After all, he was hit by a hook arrow, and there had been no news from Gu Jingzhi in these days.

Everyone thought that Gu Jingzhi was in great danger, and now the Huns were ready to make a move, so the higher-ups probably kept it a secret for the sake of morale.

As for Li Xi, they didn't know much. They only knew that she came with Doctor Wu, that she also knew medical skills and was a doctor.

Many people speculated that Li Xi might be the nephew of Doctor Wu.

But for most of them, this is not important. What is important is that the Zhenbei General's Mansion has opened a clan school. The family background of the Zhenbei General's Mansion is there, and no one will underestimate the Gu family's clan school.

As soon as this tribal school opened, many people took their eyes and wanted to send their children here.

After all, there are not many good teachers in this border area.

These days, there has been an endless stream of requests for people wanting to enroll their children in the Gu family school. Gu Changfeng was fed up with the questions, so he simply had someone write down the names of those requesting admission on a memorial and throw it to Gu Jingzhi to handle.

If he has caused something, then he should solve it himself.

Gu Jingzhi is not stupid, so he will naturally see the benefits of doing this for their Zhenbei General's Mansion. Letting their children attend the Gu family school is a win-win situation for both of them.

Li Xi expected Gu Jingzhi to agree, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.

"Thank you very much."

Li Xi had just finished thanking him when Shi Hanshuo arrived.

"Li Xi is going to Jiangning City. Find a team to escort her there."

"Yes." Shi Hanshuo agreed readily.

To him, Li Xi saving the major general's life was the same as saving his own life, and he was deeply grateful to her.

He promised that he would not let her get hurt during this escort. Anyone who wanted to touch Doctor Li had to step over him first.

"Doctor Li, thank you for saving our Major General. My name is Shi Hanshuo. If you have anything to ask in the future, just tell me. I promise I will do it without hesitation, even if it means risking my life!"

"Well, there's no need to go through fire and water, but I'll have to trouble you to go back to Jiangning City this time."

"Doctor Li, you are too polite. I will arrange when you leave."

"If it's convenient, let's do it now."

"Okay, then Major General, Doctor Li, I'll arrange it right away." Shi Hanshuo said immediately.

Li Xi nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."

Not long after Shi Hanshuo left, he drove a carriage and a team to the outside of the tent to pick up Li Xi.

"I'm leaving now. I'll write you the cement recipe when I get back."

"Not in a hurry."

Li Xi came out of the big tent and looked at the familiar coachman and the familiar carriage sitting outside the carriage, and his face suddenly turned green.

I was so focused on returning to Jiangning City that I forgot I had to take a carriage to get back.

……

The carriage stopped, and Li Xi got off the carriage with dull eyes and weak steps.

"Deputy General Shi, please wait for me outside for a while. I will be out soon."

Li Xi opened the gate and walked in. Hu Zi left in a hurry and almost didn't take anything from home with him. She and Doctor Wu left in even more hurry. Li Xi came back this time to get her own little treasury.

Li Xi took out a small wooden box from the depths of the pharmacy cabinet, opened the box, and found it was full of silver bills.

Looking at them, Li Xi smiled with satisfaction, closed the box, went into the house to find some clothes to wrap the box, then wrapped it in a bundle, carried it out of the room, and closed the doors of several rooms.

Then he walked out of the yard and locked the door.

"Deputy General Shi, please come with me to Lijiazhuang. But before that, I have to go to the private school first. The private school is very close to here. You can just wait for me here."

Now that they have entered the city, there will naturally be no danger. Li Xi does not plan to take such a large group of them with him. Although they are all in plain clothes, they are all tall and strong and look ferocious. If he takes them with him, others will think he is looking for trouble.

The people who followed Shi Hanshuo to escort Li Xi were all selected by Shi Hanshuo himself. They were all top fighters in the military camp, except that they looked a little fierce.

Shi Hanshuo glanced at his brothers behind him and probably understood Li Xi's concerns. "Doctor Li, how can you do this alone? What if you run into some blind people who bump into you? Otherwise, I'd better go with you."

Although Li Xi didn't think she would meet someone blind, she didn't reject his kindness.

"Then it'll be hard work."

"Doctor Li, you are too polite. You don't have to be so polite to me."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you next time." Li Xi said with a smile.

"Hey, you're welcome." Shi Hanshuo scratched his head and said to the "fierce and evil" brothers, "I'll go with Doctor Li, you guys wait here."

Shi Hanshuo accompanied Li Xi to a private school. After arriving at the school, the gatekeeper recognized Li Xi and let her in easily.

As soon as Li Xi entered, she was caught red-handed by Hu Jinyu who recognized her.

"Sister Huzi, Sister Huzi!" Hu Jinyu ran to Li Xi with her legs twitching.

"Jinyu." Li Xi squatted down and looked at Hu Jinyu.

"Sister Huzi, where is Huzi?" Hu Jinyu glanced behind Li Xi and didn't see her friend. Hu Jinyu was obviously disappointed. "Sister Huzi, the teacher said Huzi is not coming. Why doesn't he come? I still want to play with him."

As they were talking, Feng Tianyou also ran over. Like Hu Jinyu, he first glanced behind Li Xi, and when he found that Hu Zi was not there, his spirit was obviously a little depressed.

"Sister Hu Zi, where is Hu Zi going? Why doesn't he come to the private school with us?" Hu Jinyu looked at Li Xi eagerly.

He doesn't have many good friends, only Hu Zi and Feng Tianyou. Ever since Hu Zi left, he missed him so much that he even dreamed about him.

He and Feng Tianyou also went to their house to check, but when they went there, Hu Zi's door was locked, and the neighbors said that they had not returned for several days.

"My sister and Hu Zi have moved, so we can't stay here to attend the private school anymore," Li Xi explained.

"Where are you moving to?" Hu Jinyu's eyes lit up. "I want to move there too. Feng Tianyou, you should move too. Then the three of us can be together again."

Feng Tianyou is calmer than Hu Jinyu. He knows that one cannot move home just like that. After hearing what Hu Zi's sister said, he knew that Hu Zi would not come back.

"It's not impossible." Li Xi smiled and took out two letters that she had prepared long ago and handed them to the two of them. "You two go home and give these letters to your parents. After they read them, you and Hu Zi might be able to study together again."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jinyu took the envelope, folded it carefully and put it in the pouch on her waist. She patted it with her small hands and said, "I'll show it to my mother when I get home."

Feng Tianyou took it and looked at the envelope in his hand, very curious about what was written inside.

Hu Jinbao pushed him and said, "Feng Tianyou, put it away quickly and don't lose it. Otherwise, we won't be able to study with Hu Zi."

Hearing him say this, Feng Tianyou was no longer curious and put it away carefully, "I put it away."

"That's fine." Hu Jinbao nodded.

Seeing Hu Jinbao's little adult appearance, Li Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, sister has other things to do, so I'll leave first. You guys should study hard."

After leaving the private school, Li Xi and Shi Hanshuo went back and got on a carriage to Lijiazhuang.

……

Under the big tree at the entrance of Lijiazhuang village, a group of women gossiping gathered together as they did every day in the past.

Aunt Ma Er put down her needle and cloth shoes, stretched her neck and looked into the distance, "Hey, did you see that carriage coming to our village?"

Hearing her say this, the others also stretched their necks to look.

"It seems like it's really coming towards us." Wang Zhaodi stood up and looked.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and there was no need to guess, it was heading towards their village.

"Look, there are a lot of people following the carriage."

"Yes, they are all fierce and vicious. Could it be that someone in the village has committed a crime outside?" Aunt He muttered, "Maybe the creditors have come to the door."

She was not the only one who had this guess.

While they were talking, the carriage was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was almost reaching the village entrance.

The people who had been talking nonstop just now hurriedly lowered their heads, looking as if they saw nothing and knew nothing, for fear that these "debt collectors" would target them.

Unexpectedly, the carriage went straight into the village without even stopping in front of them, and people followed behind the carriage in neat steps.

Only after seeing the carriage and the group of ferocious men go away did Aunt Ma heave a sigh of relief and dare to breathe loudly.

"I was so scared. Did you see them just now? They were ferocious-looking people. They must be here to collect debts!"

Qian Dajuan looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared and suddenly said, "It seems they are going in the direction of the village chief's house."

After she said this, the others subconsciously looked towards the place where the carriage disappeared, and it was indeed the direction of the village chief's house.
