That night, Li Hui did not come back for dinner, and Cheng Xue ate a tasteless meal by herself, feeling worried.

Finally, at the beginning of Haishi, Li Hui came back and saw her reading the medical book with red eyes, which made her understand.

"You can go with me, but you have to protect yourself. I only have you in this place."

It was rare to hear his love words, Cheng Xue suppressed a yawn and nodded gently.

"Okay, I have the same cold syndrome as last time..."

"This time is different from cold syndrome. It is an epidemic disease." Li Hui corrected solemnly, "It was discovered in time at first, but recently it has become more common, and the root cause of the epidemic has not been found."

"Have you found the water source?"

"I've looked at every well."

"What about the river? There are also those swamps in the north. This is possible. I remember that the upper reaches of the Heimo River are in Gangka, Beiqi. Have you sent anyone to check?" Cheng Xue reminded.

After washing, Li Hui took off his shoes and got on the kang, lay down next to her and said:

"If it really happened in the Heimojiang River, then the Gangka epidemic is also rampant now, but the scout camp has not received any news at all."

"If we didn't get the news, it doesn't mean there isn't one in the city. You can't be so careless, right?" Cheng Xue asked with a smile.

Li Hui naturally thought of this, but Xiao Song was the commander-in-chief of the military camp. He, a local official, really couldn't stretch his hand that far.

Cheng Xue guessed his concerns, looked up at him and said:

"How about I write a letter as a doctor tomorrow? Then when we get there, we will know whether we go or not."

"That's okay." Li Hui nodded and kissed her on the forehead, "Fortunately, I have you."

"Me too." Cheng Xue agreed softly.

That is to say, in the north, she can go out when she wants and do whatever she wants.

If she were in the capital, she wouldn't be as free as she is now. Even if Li Hui didn't stop her from going out, she was still not interested. What's more, there were many princesses and county lords in the capital, so she didn't have the energy to deal with them.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Cheng Xue finished writing the letter and asked Dexi to send someone to the military camp in the north as quickly as possible.

She prepared some clothes at home, as well as medicinal herbs such as mugwort, realgar, rugosa, and Chuanqiong.

Ji Shan Tang sent over the rush-made medicine packets, and Yuan Tao's wife steamed a lot of vegetable dumplings.

"Madam, I know there is no shortage of food in the military camp, but these vegetable dumplings are boiled with water to make vegetable porridge, which can satisfy hunger when necessary. There are five little girls who insist on going with you. No matter how hard I try to persuade you, I can only give them to you. They will bring you and tell you face to face."

Cheng Xue guessed which five children they were. Many children in Jishan Hall were interested in studying medicine, but five of them were absolutely obsessed with it. Not only did he borrow medical books from her, but he also went to the medicine shop to help out on a voluntary basis, just to be able to do odd jobs for the doctor.

To take it or not to take it, she was very conflicted.

Five children came in and stood in a row.

Everyone looked at her firmly, saluted, and said in unison:

"I've met Madam, and asked Madam to allow us to go together. If Madam hadn't taken pity on us and took us to Jishan Hall, it's unknown whether we would still be alive in this world. Now that we are lucky enough to live a new life, we will definitely aspire to become Xinglin Female doctor, life and death have been forgotten for a long time, and she will not return to the city until the epidemic is over."

Seeing that the five children were all determined, Cheng Xue thought about it and finally agreed.

"You can go if you want, but you have to be obedient. If one of you doesn't listen, don't blame me for sending them back."

"Yes." The five children said in unison again.

Watching such a scene, Cheng Xue suddenly returned to reality. She has also taken interns, and the children who just intern are more energetic than the other, just like the five of them are so excited now. "Bai Wei, leave the eldest lady at home to make medicine clothes, and give them a share. We will set off in three days, and the five of you will go back and continue studying and understanding medicine."

"Yes."

Yuan Tao's wife watched the five people leave and said thoughtfully:

"Madam, it's already very worrying for you to go there. Wouldn't it distract you to take five more of them?"

"They won't be distracted. The five of them once went to the medicine hall to do odd jobs, and later worked odd jobs in the medicine workshop. They have solid child skills. Don't worry, as long as they don't show off, I can guarantee that they will bring them back."

"Then please take care of yourself, Madam. The head of the house and I will wait for your return at Jishan Hall."

After those old men who beat their teeth were sent away, the couple were doing more and more smoothly in Jishan Hall. The children are sensible, the elderly are cooperative, and there is no need to be stunned like before.

Cheng Xue nodded when she heard this, took out a banknote and handed it to Yuan Tao's wife, saying:

"Take some time to let Yuan Tao go around the city. If you find something suitable, buy twenty acres of fertile land on the outskirts of the city. There are so many children in Jishan Hall. Farming is not a problem. Only by being self-sufficient can we help more children and the elderly. .”

"Didn't Madam say before that Jishantang should buy it herself? Although there is not much money left in the book, it will be enough if you can save it for three to five years."

After all, the price of land in the northern state capital is not high, much cheaper than in Liaodong.

Cheng Xue twirled the teacup and said worriedly:

"It's just an epidemic discovered by the health center now. If it spreads to Wadalu, there will be many elderly people and children who have lost their ability to act independently. We have to make preparations. After I leave, someone will send 20 dan of food to Jishantang. Remember to look for Keep them somewhere. If anyone is really sent back, they will be placed alone for half a month as before, and then they will have contact with other children."

"Yes, I understand."

While they were talking, the five children came in after changing their clothes. Each of them was wearing a white slim-fitting long skirt, and the cuffs were tightened to make it easier to work. The hair is tied into a ponytail and pinned with a silver hairpin, which is clean, neat and sassy.

Yuan Tao's wife couldn't help but nodded after seeing it, holding back her tears, and said:

"Everyone is so handsome, little girls. When you go out with the madam, you must be obedient and not cause trouble to the madam. Do you understand?"

"Yes, mother."

The children in Jishantang all call Yuan Tao and his wife father and mother. They also love their children very much and treat them as their own children.

Cheng Xue looked at her and knew that the person in charge of Jishan Hall had made the right choice. With those twenty acres of fertile land, they can support themselves even if the subsequent shops don't send anything.

Everything is unpredictable. No one's business will be smooth sailing. There will definitely be ups and downs. She has to be on guard against it.

I thought that Yuan Tao's wife would take the five children back and give them proper instructions, but she didn't expect that she would leave them alone and leave wiping tears.

Seeing that the children were all reluctant to leave, Cheng Xue did her own thing without saying a word.

It's not easy for a woman to be the best among men, and it's even harder for a woman to grow up.

In this case, let's start with "life and separation". Once you get used to this, you can then adapt to "death and separation".

It’s not that the doctor has no emotions, it’s just that he’s accustomed to accepting them after seeing them too much.

Cheng Xue came to the pharmacy and found and packed all the recently made antipyretic pills, phlegm-reducing pills, etc.

The current epidemic is nothing more than these types of lesions. Cough first and then fever. Finally, due to long treatment time, other lesions develop, and there is no way to recover...

Thank you Wang for sending me a monthly ticket, okay?
