Going up the mountain alone in this kind of weather is enough, but if you add a woman, it's better not to have any accidents!Ye He was secretly anxious.

It was also because he knew that Ye He had always regarded his elder brother as an heir, so Xiang Chenxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Ye. If my elder brother and my sister-in-law don't come back tomorrow, I'll send someone out to look for them."

Ye He wanted to say more, but Xiang Chenxiang didn't look worried at all, so he couldn't help but shook his head and went back to the house.

After Ye He left, Imperial Physician Shen also came over to ask a few words of concern, followed by Imperial Physician Pang, only the imperial physician surnamed Rong did not come.

The heavy rain continued until noon the next day and there was no intention of stopping. Ye He ran out from the epidemic area again and urged Xiang Chenxiang to find someone, otherwise he would let the officers and soldiers look for him. Xiang Chenxiang had no choice but to take two A person on his own left the epidemic area in the rain, and headed in the direction agreed with his brother.

Coincidentally, the rain stopped less than half an hour after the three of Xiang Chenxiang left the epidemic area, and the three of them sped up their speed and headed to the not-too-distant mountain.

Before the few people reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Xiang Zirun and Su Kefang from a distance. Seeing the things around them, Xiang Chenxiang laughed: "Brother, sister-in-law."

Brother and sister-in-law really brought food for the folks!

It turned out that Xiang Zirun and Su Kefang had placed two large nets woven with tree vines, which were full of alive and kicking fish, and there were five or six large cloth bags with unknown contents inside.

The two men in black clothes were also secretly surprised when they saw these things, but due to their status, they didn't ask any more questions.

"There are still sweet potatoes and rice over there. Find something to bring these food back." Xiang Zirun pointed to something covered by grass at the foot of the mountain and ordered to the two men in black.

A man in black took the order to go, and the other stayed where he was guarding his things. Xiang Zirun and Xiang Chenxiang took the fish back first.

Seeing Xiang Zirun and the others coming in with net bags of fish, the people who were already ashamed of their hearts suddenly lit up their dull eyes: "Fish, it's a fish! It's a fish!"

Su Kefang smiled and shouted: "That's right, it's fish, make fish soup for the folks to drink at night!"

Xiang Chenxiang also smiled, and said: "There's still food to eat, we'll be here soon, we can hold on for a while."

The crowd cheered after hearing this: "We don't have to starve to death, we don't have to starve to death!"

Shouting and laughing, some villagers burst into tears, especially the woman who had just died crying so hard.

Su Kefang's nose was sore when she saw it, and she felt that her hand was being held in a big and generous palm. She raised her head, met her man's deep worried eyes, sniffed quickly, and smiled at him: "I'm fine." .”

When Ye He and others learned that Xiang Zirun and his wife had brought back food for the villagers, they ran out of the epidemic area ecstatically, and the imperial doctor surnamed Rong ran the fastest.

"Haha, it's really fish. It's been a long time since I smelled fishy!" Doctor Rong saw the fish, his eyes gleamed golden, and his saliva almost flowed down.

"Great, great!" Ye He and Pang Yuyi also murmured.

"Young master Xiang, you have made a great contribution this time. When the old man returns, he must report to the emperor and ask the emperor to reward you!" Imperial physician Shen said happily.

Xiang Zirun twitched the corner of his lower lip noncommittally, and said, "I'll make a pot of soybean and fish soup for the folks later."

After listening to Imperial Physician Shen's words, Su Kefang laughed secretly, the relationship between her man and the emperor is probably not worse than that of Imperial Physician Shen, why would he need to report to the emperor?
"Soybeans? Where are the soybeans?" Hearing this, Physician Pang asked in surprise.

"It's at the back, and it will be delivered right away, as well as sweet potatoes and some rice." Su Kefang answered.

"And sweet potatoes?" Ye He was surprised and delighted: "Where did you get so much food?"

Xiang Zirun glanced at Su Kefang, and Su Kefang immediately said happily: "It rained heavily last night, we saw that the river at the foot of the mountain was full of water, and some fish were washed ashore, so we used the The tree vines weaved a few net bags to catch more fish for everyone to try, but I didn’t expect that one net could catch so many fish for us.”

"What about sweet potatoes and soybeans?" Physician Pang asked again.

"I bought it from a villager who had a lot of grain in his house, but because of the plague this time, he was worried that someone would steal the grain, so he dug a cellar to hide all the grain. Yesterday we went to that family's house to beg for food. After drinking water, they found that they were eating rice, so they asked. At first they were scared, afraid that we would rob them of their food and drive us out. Later, we took out the money and asked them to buy food from them, and they agreed immediately , because they guarded the grain and were frightened, and after selling the grain to us, they said they would leave Huaibei."

Xiang Zirun is not a person who talks a lot. Su Kefang's words are what Su Kefang thought up before. These words are reasonable and no one doubts them on the surface.

"Someone actually hid so much food?" Royal Doctor Rong said with a smile on his face, "But it's cheaper for us."

"Doctor Rong, these meals were bought by my brother and sister-in-law with silver, so it's definitely not cheap to buy food at this time." Xiang Chenxiang reminded at the right time.

Embarrassment flashed across Doctor Rong's face, and then he said, "It's good to be able to buy food at this time, and it's normal that it's more expensive."

Xiang Chenxiang shook his head and didn't argue with him.

"If it weren't for this plague, the people here should be quite rich, right?" Physician Pang looked at the food and murmured.

As everyone was talking, the two men in black brought back more than a dozen loads of sweet potatoes, several large bags of soybeans, and several large bags of rice.

Doctor Rong hurriedly shouted: "Everyone is hungry, hurry up and kill the fish and make soup."

"Should I find a room to store the rest of the food?" Pang Yuyi said, looking at the remaining sweet potatoes and other things.

Royal Doctor Rong was about to speak when he heard Xiang Chenxiang say: "My room is spacious, so let me stay there."

"Alright, I'll let you go temporarily." Xiang Zirun immediately agreed.

Imperial doctor Rong had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.

Shen Yuyi and Pang Yuyi looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads at the same time.

This Royal Doctor Rong is a person who knows how to enjoy himself, he complains about the lack of three meals every day, both Shen and Pang know that he wants to put these meals in his room, so that he can steal them on weekdays.

It's just that these meals were brought back by Xiang Zirun and his wife, no matter how many ideas Dr. Rong had, it was useless.

When the villagers ate the hot and fragrant fish soup, they cried and laughed again and again.

Seeing a little anger on their faces, the uneasiness in Su Kefang's heart eased a lot.

Several imperial doctors originally didn't want those seriously ill people to drink soybean and fish soup, because they had rotten places on their bodies, and eating fish might speed up the rot, but Xiang Zirun said, "It's better than starving to death", and told them to keep silent. said.
