When the villagers heard that the blind man who was recuperating in front of the Luo family's house wanted to treat them, many women looked skeptical.

"There are so many people coughing in our village, but no one has any problems."

"That girl herself is blind, so how can her words be trusted?"

"Village head, don't be fooled by her. We are not well-off. If she wants to make money from us, I'm afraid her plan will fail."

……

Li Cangshu raised his hand to stop everyone from talking.

"Everyone, listen to me first."

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, he continued, "I've personally witnessed the abilities of Miss Song. Although she can't see, that doesn't stop her from diagnosing illnesses. Our village is already remote, and if it really is a plague, the government won't be able to take care of us. So, just in case, we should do as the girl says. It won't cost us much anyway."

"She diagnoses us, doesn't she want any fees?" someone asked.

Li Cangshu said quickly, "Miss Song said the treatment is free."

When everyone heard this, they smiled happily.

"Okay, let's go collect the herbs now."

"Then I'll go gather everyone together so that it will be convenient for Miss Song to see the patient."

As soon as the words fell, everyone got busy.

After Song Yuntang examined the villagers one by one, he prescribed medicine for each of them. He was busy until the sun went down before returning to the yard.

Awang looked at her with some concern.

"Girl, will your body be unable to bear such hard work?"

Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "It's okay. It will only take a day or two. It's not a big problem."

An old lady from next door came to our house with three eggs.

"Miss Song, the medicine you prepared is really effective. My grandson's cough has become less severe after drinking it. We don't have anything valuable at home, so take these three eggs to nourish your body."

Song Yuntang wanted to refuse, but the old lady insisted, so she let Awang accept it.

There is little food to eat in the mountains, and the villagers are not rich. Whether they can eat meat depends entirely on whether the hunters in the village can hunt prey.

As for the few chickens in farmers' homes, the eggs they lay are used to nourish the children and are rarely sold outside.

She is pregnant now and needs to supplement her nutrition.

The old lady gave the eggs to Awang and left.

Awang looked at the eggs in his hand with guilt on his face.

"Girl, it's Wangfu who is incompetent and can't get you more food."

Song Yuntang's expression was indifferent.

"It's okay. Nowadays, in a place like Hougu Village, there are no female doctors and no experienced midwives. Eating too much is no different from killing you."

She glanced in Awang's direction and felt that there was no need to play dumb and pretend not to know him.

"Actually, Wangfu isn't your real name, right?"

Awang was shocked.

"How did you find out?"

"I already knew who your master was the first day I woke up." She fumbled with the teacup on the table and took a sip. "Because I knew you wouldn't harm me, I wasn't in a hurry to run away, let alone expose you. But now it's been almost two months, my hand is almost healed, and you have no intention of taking me away. What's going on? Are you planning to keep me imprisoned in Hougu Village forever?"

Awang knelt down.

"The county lady is wise. We don't intend to imprison you. It's just that the journey from Hougu Village to Anyang County is long. The master said that after he returns, your eyes will be better before he takes you away."

Song Yuntang put down the teacup.

"Since you don't intend to imprison me, why don't you send a letter to my family?"

Awang looked at her cautiously.

"The girl needs someone by her side right now. If I go to deliver the letter, there will be no one to take care of her. What if she gets bullied?"

Song Yuntang didn't continue to argue with him.

All excuses.

But the person who asked him to do this was Lin Jingyao after all, and he was just a servant, following his master's orders.

"Since your master has found me, he must have found Lin Zhaozhao as well, right? How is she?"

Awang lowered his head, looking a little sad.

"The lady...she's dead."

Song Yuntang raised the corner of his lips, "It's better if she dies. I'm worried that she will continue to make trouble."

This saves her from having to do it again.

She got up and walked into the house.

"Ask Aunt Luo to cook. I'm hungry."

"Yes."

Awang got up from the ground and went to Luo's house with the eggs.

Because his identity was discovered by Song Yuntang, Awang became more reserved and respectful in front of Song Yuntang.

The villagers of Hougu Village have been getting better after receiving treatment from Song Yuntang. When she first came, everyone talked about her behind her back. Now that they are familiar with her, if they have any delicious food or hunted any game at home, they will share some with this beautiful girl.

There were even young men in the village who came to her with blushing faces and asked if she wanted to get married.

After learning that she was pregnant, the villagers took better care of her, especially the aunts and grandmas, who taught her how to raise children and give birth.

However, Song Yuntang usually did not accept things from others for free. He would either provide free medical treatment or ask Awang to pay him money based on the value of the things.

After a while, everyone liked to give her whatever they had.

After his left hand was able to move freely, Song Yuntang used the medicinal herbs collected from everyone to treat his eyes. Combined with acupuncture, his vision became clearer day by day.

……

After being able to communicate in Anyang County, Xu Qingye wrote a letter home every seven days as he did in the past.

But the letters I sent home seemed to fall into the sea and there was no reply.

He was anxious.

So, after the Qionglin Banquet ended, he and Guiping mounted their horses and returned to Anyang County overnight.

After traveling for several days, when he arrived at the doorstep, his eyes were already bloodshot.

He dismounted, straightened his clothes and hair, and then went forward and knocked on the door.

"coming."

It was Jiang who opened the door. When she saw Xu Qingye, she was stunned at first, and then her eyes were filled with tears.

"Qingye, you are finally back."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Xu Qingye frowned slightly, suppressing the panic in his heart.

"Mom, what happened?"

"Tang'er she..." Jiang couldn't bear to say it out loud.

Looking at her expression, Xu Qingye felt as if his heart was being strangled by a hand, making it impossible to breathe.

He tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart.

"What happened to Tang'er?"

"Tang'er is gone." Jiang burst into tears.

There was an expression of disbelief in Xu Qingye's eyes, and his eyes, which were already bloodshot, were now even redder.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"When did it happen? What happened then?"

Looking at his strong and calm appearance, Jiang felt distressed. She cried and said, "It happened at the beginning of the year. At that time, a guard went to Lushan Village to take Tang'er to the provincial capital to be treated for his injuries. During that period, there were continuous heavy rains, making travel inconvenient. She waited there for a few days. At the end of the month, the rain finally stopped and the water receded. She planned to return to Anyang County with Xia Ning. She had the accident on the way back to Anyang County."
