Moon frost snow

Chapter 21 Insist on going home

The county magistrate sat under an awning nearby, with his lawyer fanning him. There was a bowl of cold tea on the small table next to him.

Doctor Qin and Doctor Mo were looking at the medicine in the pot on the other side.

Here, Mo Yiyu helped He Yue make herbal tea. By the time people came to line up to get the herbal tea, it was no longer so hot.

He Yue was fighting while looking at the people coming. When everyone was almost finished receiving their money, she finally saw He Youren.

With the county magistrate present, no one dared to look up and carefully at the person in front of them, so much so that He Youren did not notice He Yue even when he came closer.

He Yue looked at her dark and thin father, smiled and called out "Dad."

He Youren wasn't paying attention until Zhang the Hunter behind him reminded him, "Isn't that Xiaoyue? Youren, look, your Xiaoyue is calling you."

He Youren then looked up and asked in surprise, "Xiaoyue, why are you here?"

Seeing that there were not many people behind him, He Yue turned to Mo Yiyun and said, "Senior Brother..."

Mo Yiyun didn't wait for He Yue to finish speaking before smiling and saying, "Go ahead! Leave this to me."

Mo Yiyun noticed that He Yue had been looking into the crowd, and he roughly guessed what He Yue was going to do.

He Yue helped He Youren walk to the big tree nearby. "Dad, you've become thinner and darker. It's only been a few days. Do you guys have enough to eat every day?"

He Youren smiled and said, "It's too hot. I'm a little tired, but don't worry, I'll have a full meal every night! Why are you here? What did you call that guy just now?"

He Yue explained, "His name is Mo Yiyun, he is a doctor. I am Dr. Mo's disciple, and he is also Dr. Mo's apprentice, so he is my senior brother."

He Youren had heard of Doctor Mo's name before, and he immediately said happily to He Yue, "Really? Doctor Mo is willing to accept you as his apprentice. You must learn well! Don't let him down."

"Dad, don't worry! I will study hard."

"Are your mother, brothers, and siblings all okay?"

"Everything is fine, don't worry! I will take good care of them. It's just that we all miss you very much and are waiting for you to come back."

"Okay, okay, this place will be almost repaired in half a month. I'll bring you some delicious food then."

"Well, okay, but Dad, you have to take care of yourself too. Drink more water in hot weather. I will suggest that the county magistrate make this herbal tea for you every day, so that you will feel better."

He Youren patted He Yue's hand distressedly and said, "My Xiaoyue has grown up and is capable now, but you have to pay more attention to your health and don't overwork yourself."

He Yue nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Dad! I know."

The two chatted for a long time, and only stopped chatting after seeing that the medicine was ready. He Youren also followed He Yue to help serve the medicine to the patients.

Seeing He Youren helping, Hunter Zhang immediately called a few people to help. Strength lies in numbers, and soon the medicine was given to every patient.

After finishing their work, Doctor Qin and Doctor Mo were talking to County Magistrate Guo, who looked at He Yue.

County Magistrate Guo instructed the legal advisor, who then instructed the guards, "My Lord has said that we should make medicine for them every day these few days, and also prepare the herbal tea. Everyone, no matter what, should drink a bowl. They are all citizens of Huaining County, and we must not slack off."

The yamen runners bowed together and said, "Yes, we obey your command."

After giving all the instructions, the county magistrate and the legal advisor got on the carriage and prepared to go back.

Doctor Qin and Doctor Mo got on another carriage while talking. He Yue looked at He Youren and said, "Dad, take care of yourself. I will come to see you again."

He Youren waved his hand reluctantly, "Okay, go back!"

He Youren and the others watched the carriage go away. As soon as He Youren returned to his seat, people immediately surrounded him and asked him questions.

Even people who don’t usually interact with each other come over to find out what’s going on.

He Youren was also honest. He told everything when someone asked him. Everyone also praised him for being so lucky to have such a good daughter.

County Magistrate Guo and his entourage returned to the county government office. Doctors Mo and Qin also met and said goodbye before going their separate ways.

It was almost dark when Doctor Mo and the other two returned to Tzu Chi Hall. After getting off the car, He Yue said goodbye to Doctor Mo, "Master, it's getting late. I will go back first."

Doctor Mo looked at He Yue's face and said, "You've been tired all day, and you're in a hurry to go back now? Can your body hold on?"

He Yue was a little tired, but she was holding on. Her face was pale at the moment, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay. After you go back, rest for a few days and then come to Master."

Doctor Mo also knew that He Yue might be worried about her family, so he stopped trying to persuade her. He turned around and went to the counter to get out twelve taels of silver and handed it to He Yue. "Here, this is the money for the herbs. You must take the medicine I gave you on time, and don't tire yourself out."

He Yue took the silver, took only half and returned it to Doctor Mo, "This is enough for me, and the rest will be used to pay for the herbal tea I asked my senior brother to take today."

Doctor Mo said unhappily, "How can I ask you to pay for the herbs? The county magistrate will provide them. Don't think too much, just take them!"

He Yue did not refuse and said, "Thank you, Master. I will go back now and come back in a few days."

"Okay, go ahead! Be careful on the road."

"Okay, Master, goodbye, Senior Brother."

He Yue said goodbye and went out. As soon as He Yue walked out of the door, his eyes went dark and he fell straight down.

The master and disciple hurried forward after watching He Yue, and Mo Yiyu carried He Yue into the house.

Doctor Mo took He Yue's pulse, and Mo Yiyun hurriedly asked, "Master, is Junior Sister okay?"

Doctor Mo's expression softened. "It's nothing. I was just too tired. My body couldn't hold on any longer and I passed out. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"That's good. Then let Junior Sister live here?"

Doctor Mo thought for a moment and said, "You should rent a carriage and take her back so her family won't worry."

"Okay." Mo Yiyun put He Yue on the chair and went to rent a carriage.

After a while, Mo Yiyun came back in a carriage. He carried He Yue into the carriage. There was a soft cushion in the carriage so that He Yue could lie in the carriage without being too bumpy.

Doctor Mo watched Mo Yiyun walk away before sighing, "This girl is so tenacious!"

Mo Yiyu drove the carriage from dusk until the moon was high in the sky. Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang waited at the place where they had sent He Yue in the morning since around four in the afternoon.

After waiting for a long time, He Yue still didn't come back. Li Guihua came to ask them to go back for dinner and she would wait here.

After the two men came back from dinner, the three of them waited until the moon was high in the sky, but no one came.

Xiao Zhuang was extremely anxious. "Mom, why hasn't my sister come back yet? I hope nothing has happened to her!"

Da Zhuang was unhappy at first, “No way.”

Li Guihua also said worriedly, "No, no, he must have been delayed by something."

Xiao Zhuang immediately clapped his hands and said, "Pfft, pfft, my sister must be fine. Something must have delayed her."

Finally, the carriage appeared in their sight. Xiao Zhuang asked expectantly, "Could it be my sister in that carriage?"

Li Guihua wasn't sure either. That carriage was so expensive! It was beyond the reach of people like them to ride in one.
