Quick mission: We don't make trouble

"Thank you so much, Doctor Zhu, for your comfort! I heard that the victims of this disaster unfortunately caught a cold, and you and other doctors actually stayed in the Guandi Temple day and night, tirelessly helping so many people to heal their illnesses. To be honest, every time I think of this, my heart is filled with endless gratitude to you! Moreover, I am also secretly glad that our little sister Xiaoxiang was lucky enough to meet a doctor with such great medical skills as Doctor Chen. Otherwise... Oh, I really don't know how uncomfortable I would be! How can I explain to Brother Dazhu in the future..."

Father Zhu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "These are all things of the past. There's no need to worry about them. From now on, everyone's lives will surely become increasingly prosperous and better! Your Yucheng County Magistrate is truly an honest and upright official! Whether it's responding to this disaster with rescue efforts or treating the sick, he's acted swiftly and without delay. He's even begun arranging for everyone to rebuild their homes. I think it won't be long before you can happily move back into your new homes..."

Zhang Bantou nodded and replied, "Yes, that's absolutely right! After I escort you safely to Dayu Mountain, I will immediately return to find our master to arrange the follow-up errands."

At this moment, Father Zhu hurriedly informed Team Leader Zhang that recent heavy rains had caused flooding, and the road to Dayu Mountain had been ruthlessly cut off by the raging torrent. The Yang family caravan was currently trapped on the other side of the river, unable to move forward. Therefore, they didn't need to be escorted to Dayu Mountain; they could simply cross the river at a specific point downstream to reach the other side.

After listening to Mr. Zhu's detailed description of the approximate location, Zhang Bantou replied confidently, "Oh, I know where it is."

Then, he squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the steed under his crotch suddenly galloped out like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust.

Captain Zhang rode his horse at full speed to escort Zhu Baba to the riverside, and carefully handed him over to the yamen runner Duan Kui who was left behind there. Only then did he turn his horse around and gallop towards Yucheng.

Father Zhu stood on the shore, looking across the wide river to the empty opposite bank. He couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, why is it so quiet? There's not a single person on the opposite bank?" He shook his head in confusion.

At this moment, Duan Kui, who was standing by, seemed to have seen what Mr. Zhu was thinking and quickly explained, "Doctor Zhu, you don't know! Most of the people on the other side of the river have been transferred to build the road, so there's no one guarding this place for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Father Zhu smiled and replied, "It's okay. I know the way and can go there myself. No need to trouble you to see me off."

However, Duan Kui waved his hand solemnly, saying, "That's absolutely unacceptable! Doctor Zhu, this forest is far from peaceful. Ferocious beasts might appear at any moment. Furthermore, the Yang family caravan warned us repeatedly before we left, saying that as long as you come here, we must ensure everyone's safety. As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry!"

Seeing Duan Kui's resolute attitude, Father Zhu could no longer refuse and could only nod and say, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Father Zhu boarded the cable car first, while Duan Kui followed closely behind, guarding him attentively. With swift movements and coordinated effort, they successfully crossed the river in no time. After reaching shore, Duan Kui escorted Father Zhu all the way to the camp.

The camp seemed rather deserted at this moment. Looking around, there were only four people. Team Leader Yang and Yu Bo were leisurely sitting in a horse-drawn carriage, its tarpaulin removed, basking in the sun. Team Leader Yang leaned against the wall, chattering non-stop about something amusing to Yu Bo, causing him to burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Yang Sanzheng and a member of the caravan were busy cooking! Although it was already winter, the two men, wearing only thin clothes, were sweating profusely due to the constant labor required to cook.

Just then, a voice called from a distance: "Team Leader Yang, Yu Bo..." It was Father Zhu calling them. Yu Bo quickly turned around and spotted the familiar figure of Father Zhu. An ecstatic smile immediately spread across his face. Without hesitation, he leaped from the carriage and, like a joyful fawn, ran towards Father Zhu.

As he ran, he excitedly shouted, "Uncle, Uncle, you're finally back! I've been looking forward to your return these days. I miss you so much!"
