Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The future is difficult, but we must have the courage to forge ahead. Suo Chao, using flammable dry pine needles, took great pains to finally start a fire. The flames in the pottery swayed back and forth, the pine needles blazed, and the whole room was as bright as day.

Suo Chao continued to add dry firewood into the ceramic basin. After it was ignited, he carefully carried the brazier to the bedroom.

The firelight illuminated the bedroom, and Suo Chao began to examine Uncle Qiang's pulse and administer acupuncture. Soon, Uncle Qiang's treatment was complete. Practice makes perfect, Suo Chao's acupuncture skills had reached near perfection.

That night, Suo Chao stayed by the brazier, adding firewood from time to time. Uncle Qiang slept exceptionally soundly that night, but little Suo Chao didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Suo Qiang quietly gazed at little Suo Chao lying on Hu's bed, his heart filled with love and care. He gently carried Xiao Chao to the bed, hoping that he could sleep peacefully in the warm quilt and not catch a cold.

When the sun rose high in the east, Uncle Qiang had already prepared breakfast and was busy in the yard.

Yesterday was truly exhausting. Everything Suo Chao experienced felt like a dream. He slept until noon before slowly opening his sleepy eyes and waking up. He walked out of the room, sleepily conscious, and spotted Uncle Qiang busy in the yard. He quickly took a few steps forward, approached him, and asked with a concerned look on his face:

"Good morning, Uncle Qiang! How are you feeling today?"

Uncle Qiang stopped what he was doing, turned around, and with a warm smile on his face, he looked at the little guy in front of him with loving eyes and said cheerfully:

"I feel much better today, and my appetite is much better too. What was the name of the thing you gave me to eat yesterday? It was so delicious! I made some rice porridge, you should go and have some." Uncle Qiang said, and gently patted Suo Chao's shoulder with his hand, the action was full of care.

In those days, it was almost impossible to eat rice and rice porridge every day. Ordinary people basically relied on wild vegetables and tree bark to fill their stomachs.

If it weren't for recuperating, Suo Chao wouldn't have dared to spend Uncle Qiang's money so lavishly. This time, he almost spent all the money Uncle Qiang gave him, and could only barely afford some rice and flour.

"Thank you, Uncle Qiang! Uncle Qiang, I have used up all your money." After saying that, he lowered his head slightly, seeming a little guilty.

"It's okay! Money is like a bastard. If we lose it, we can earn it again!" Uncle Qiang had an open-minded look on his face. He responded loudly and cheerfully, waving his hand at the same time.

"The herbs are provided as a gift. If you feel unwell today, boil the herbs in the small bag beside the bed and take it for two days. You will be completely cured. This medicine can also prevent subsequent infections." Suo Chao explained in detail.

"This morning, I went to the village and found that more than a dozen villagers had died of illness at home. I plan to bury them in the next few days. Their families are gone, and it's not a good idea to keep their bodies at home." Uncle Qiang frowned, his expression full of solemnity. As he spoke, his eyes revealed concern and compassion for his fellow villagers.

"Uncle Qiang, you did a really good job!" Suo Chao looked at Uncle Qiang and said with admiration.

"The bodies of the villagers have been kept in the village. When the weather warms up, the spread of the epidemic will definitely be exacerbated. We have to bury them as soon as possible." Uncle Qiang sighed heavily.

Thinking of the original owner's recently deceased mother, Suo Chao felt an inexplicable wave of sadness in his heart. He hadn't been home for long since crossing over. However, he found it difficult to accept the fact that his mother was gone just like that.

"Uncle Qiang, my mother she..., she..." Suo Chao's lips trembled slightly, his words were choked, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"I understand!" Uncle Qiang said softly, hugging the little guy tightly with heartache. At this moment, his eyes were also full of pity.

"Sorry to trouble Uncle Qiang! Please bury my mother and fellow villagers as soon as possible!" Suo Chao's voice trembled a little, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Uncle Qiang's eyes also became moist. He nodded vigorously and replied:

"Xiao Chao, you have to be strong! Leave this matter to your uncle."

Suo Qiang looked at the little guy, his heart filled with bitterness. Yesterday, Suo Chao went back and forth to the town alone to buy medicine and food. He was really sensible. Uncle Qiang was worried about little Suo Chao living alone, so he said:

"Xiao Chao, do you want to live with me from now on? When you grow up and there's a good place to go, you can pursue your dreams."

Suo Chao stared at the gray sky, was silent for a long time, and then responded:

"Uncle Qiang, let's go to town in a few days! I haven't figured out what to do next!"

The two worked tirelessly for a week and finally buried all the villagers who had passed away. Fortunately, it was winter, otherwise they would have had no time to deal with the mess.

The temperature is low in winter, so corpses don't decay as quickly. Otherwise, maggots and flies would be everywhere, and the scene would be truly unimaginable. Suo Chao glanced at the surrounding tombs and said:

"Uncle Qiangzi, what are your plans for the future?"

Uncle Qiangzi smiled naively, scratched his head and said:

"This damn world is so despicable, people are like grass, and I don't have anywhere good to go! I plan to go to town and find some work. I can't keep running the mountain goods store anymore. When I save enough money, I'm going to get married, start a family, and have a few kids. That's my goal!"

"Well! Uncle Qiang, this is great!" Suo Chao said with a smile and bright eyes, nodding slightly.

"I know Grandpa Li in town. His eldest son seems to be looking for a playmate to accompany him to school. Why don't you go? You are smart and clever, and Grandpa Li will definitely agree to let you accompany the young master to school." Uncle Qiang said as he frowned slightly and thought, as if he was recalling relevant information.

Uncle Qiang certainly hoped that Suo Chao could stay with him, at least to take care of him. So he argued:

"When you're older, you can always leave if you have other ideas."

"Thank you, uncle! Not for now!" Suo Chao waved his hand and said firmly with a hint of stubbornness on his face.

"Uncle, I've made up my mind. I plan to try my luck at County Magistrate Sun's residence. County Magistrate Sun is a great hero, and he values ​​talented individuals." Suo Chao took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and his eyes revealed a firmness.

Uncle Qiang thought about it and it made sense. This epidemic that made the world's famous doctors helpless was actually cured by a child. This is really incredible. Thinking about it, Uncle Qiang couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"This kid is really capable!"

Suo Qiang didn't know where Xiao Chao had learned his medical skills. Perhaps Xiao Chao had a strange encounter. He didn't ask any more questions, but nodded slightly, with a hint of recognition and acquiescence in his eyes, and slowly said:

"County Magistrate Sun is a great hero. We common people are far inferior to him! With your medical skills, it shouldn't be a problem for you to find a job with him."

Suo Chao nodded vigorously and replied:

"Well, County Magistrate Sun became famous at a young age and his reputation as a chivalrous man is well-known. In recent years, he has been valued by the court and his future is limitless. A real man should be like this!" As he spoke, his face was full of longing and his eyes were shining, as if he had already seen what his future would look like.

Uncle Qiang was filled with surprise when he heard Suo Chao's words. He stared at the kid with wide eyes in disbelief, secretly exclaiming in his heart:

"This kid will have a great future!"

"Uncle Qiang, I plan to leave tomorrow morning! Do you want to go to the town with me?" Suo Chao asked tentatively with a hint of anticipation. At this moment, his eyes revealed a hint of eagerness.

"Then let's go together. There is nothing to do here. Once the epidemic is under control, the villagers will return home one after another! I will go home often to visit you in the future." Uncle Qiang looked at Suo Chao and said gently. As he spoke, there was a faint smile on his face and his eyes were full of expectations for the future.

That night, Suo Chao didn't fall asleep quickly. With his eyes closed, he pondered many things, calculating his next steps. Troubled times were approaching! Should he start from scratch and become a local lord, or choose to join a faction?

If there were no system, choosing a wise lord and assisting him in achieving great things would certainly be a safer path. However, he couldn't understand the system yet, so he couldn't rely too much on it. Now that he had medical skills, he could still live a good life in this world.

"Let's take it one step at a time, and get to know more heroes from all over the world," Suo Chao muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were seriously considering the road ahead. His hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, revealing a hint of inner nervousness and anticipation.

As Suo Chao was thinking, he fell asleep unknowingly!

"Golden swords and iron horses, flags tremble! Suo Chao is leading an invincible army, conquering the south and the north, sweeping across the world..."
