Chapter 72 Realistic Choice
  Unable to answer, Qin Jia could only tell him casually that the senior's surname was Hua and his first name was Xia.

Xie Jinyan was very eager to meet this senior, but Qin Jia could only deal with it: "Senior travels around all year round and has no fixed location. I just have some fate with him."

Xie Jinyan was quite disappointed when he learned that he would not be able to see her.

"Oh, what a pity."

"Yeah, well, since I have given you everything, I'll leave first and you can go about your business."

Wearing a raincoat, Qin Jia returned to the driver's seat of the car and drove with difficulty using her somewhat short legs.

Fortunately, she was nine years old. If she had been younger, she probably wouldn't be able to stretch her legs.

People in the Qin family are quite tall. She is now nine years old and is already over 1.3 meters tall and almost 1.4 meters tall. It is estimated that when she becomes an adult, she will be over 1.6 meters tall.

Her sister Qin Lin, now 12 years old, is already about 1 meters tall.

After she drove away, Xie Jinyan and others who helped move things finally let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, if Miss Qin San hadn't been so good-natured, I would have doubted whether she was a monster. That dark car is so weird."

"It's amazing. There are no horses, donkeys, oxen or other livestock to pull it. The carriage is still so big, and it drives so fast and stable. It's simply amazing."

"Let alone the capital, we have never seen anything like this in other countries we have visited before, right?"

"More than that, look at the roads outside. You don't even know what they are made of. They are flat and neat, better than marble, bluestone, etc."

"Indeed, it doesn't look like a stone. There are no traces of connection. I don't know what material it is made of."

When Xie Jinyan went into the city and came here to treat everyone, he was in a carriage and it was a rainy night, so he really couldn't see the road outside clearly.

Now that I saw it clearly, I was equally surprised.

This road surface does look good. It looks much better than the stone roads in the capital. It feels like it was expensive to build.

And that black car, at least that's what Qin Jia called it.

However, since it is something that can move, it should naturally be called a car.

If people had that, why would they have to wait a month for a letter to be sent back and forth?

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, just share the hot porridge and quilts."

The few men who were still discussing immediately fell silent and started working in an orderly manner with serious faces.

After all, they are the people under Gongsun Wuming, and their obedience is really high.

Xie Jinyan was also given a large bowl of porridge. He looked at the bowl, which was half porridge and half water, with golden lumps of vegetables mixed in.

He stirred it gently and then took a spoonful into his mouth.

Well? It's surprisingly delicious.

The rice aroma is rich and mixed with a hint of sweetness.

Take another bite of this sweet potato. It is soft and glutinous with a little sweetness. When paired with this porridge, it feels like a side dish.

Although it was not comparable to a big meal, Xie Jinyan was quite satisfied with what he had eaten.

He has been hungry since last night. The wind outside can even blow people, so naturally he will not ask people to get food from Gongsun Wuming.

If there was an accident along the way and someone lost their life, he couldn't afford it.

***
  The other people who received the porridge were already moved by such a small bowl of porridge.

The kitchen room of each house is equipped with some basic kitchen utensils. Although there are not many, they are quite complete.

But if so many people eat at the same time, there simply won’t be enough bowls.

So Uncle Wang arranged for them to eat in turns, the men first, because they have a big appetite and eat quickly.

Then wash the dishes, change the next batch, wait for the men to finish, then the women, and finally the old people and children.

The porridge is relatively hot, and the children and the elderly eat it last. It is not hot anymore, and there is no one waiting behind, so they can eat slowly.

As for clothing, there is no such thing, but there are big quilts, really big ones. Uncle Wang asked everyone to lean together and cover each other.

Qin Jia's guess was good. Uncle Wang could indeed control the situation, and no one dared to cause trouble.

"Whoever has a fever can come out and get medicine."

The woman who had been scowling and wiping the child with a handkerchief was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Uncle Wang, my child has a fever, please save him!"

"You don't need to ask me. The medicine was left by Miss Qin San, and she also sent these things."

There were people in the territory who didn't know Qin Jia before, but after the big loudspeaker broadcast last night, they started asking people about him.

So everyone knows that the third girl of the Qin family is Qin Jia.

That is, the owner of this city.

The woman quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed toward the door, "Thank you, Miss Qin Jia, for saving my son's life."

After a few sincere kowtows, she stopped.

Uncle Wang had already taken a medicine, broke half of it and gave it to her.

"This is a good medicine for reducing fever. It's extremely rare. Your baby is still young. Take half a pill first and see. If it doesn't go away after two hours, take another half pill."

"Okay, thank you Miss Qin Jia, thank you, uncle, thank you!" The woman choked with excitement.

The child just drank some porridge and is in good spirits now, so she doesn't need to give him medicine and just asks him to swallow the medicine.

"Uncle Wang, I want it too, I want it too, I'm having a fever too."

"Uncle, my wife is having a fever..."

"uncle……"

If they could still calm down after the porridge just now, they really couldn't calm down after taking the medicine now.

You must know that if you continue to have a fever, you will either die or become a fool.

As for Dr. Xie, he already explained this morning that the medicine he brought was cooked last night and there is no more medicine.

Most people who are sick think that it's just up to luck whether they can make it through.

I didn’t expect there would be medicine!

That's not a matter of a bowl of porridge, it's a matter of a life, so it's inevitable to become a little restless.

"Uncle, please give it to my mother first. She has been burning all night."

"Sir, my child has been suffering from fever for a long time!"

If they hadn't been wiping with cold handkerchiefs all night, I'm afraid something would have happened to many people last night.

Uncle Wang had a straight face, looking a bit fierce, and his tone of voice was as cold and hard as ever.

"Get in line, kids in front."

He had two hundred pills in his hand, but they were for two houses, and more than half of them had to be reserved for those with recurring fevers.

At his age, there are choices when doing things.

The child still has a future, he is young and his body is weak, so it is natural to give the medicine first.

Strong laborers are in good health, and building a city will definitely require laborers, so they must be provided.

In the end, the old man, even Uncle Wang himself, also belonged to this category, still insisted on his own ideas.

They are already in their fifties or sixties, and to put it bluntly, they will not live for a few more years.

Even if they are alive, they are of little use, so this kind of good medicine should be given to them if they are available. If not, they will choose to abandon this type of people.
