Chapter 1648 The storm is coming
Yan Ruyu was relieved to see that the Li father and daughter had calmed down.
As expected, sincerity is the sure-fire way to win. When the abbot met the couple and analyzed himself, his sincerity moved the Li father and daughter deeply.
In half a day, they became like non-blood relatives.
Yan Ruyu let them chat and left the yard to arrange other matters.
There are a lot of things to do recently, so she slowly sorted them out in her mind, but after thinking about it, she decided that it would not work and she had to put them on paper.
Thinking of paper, he remembered what he had promised Huo Changxu.
On the way back to the courtyard, he met Yin Ding and told him, "Go find the second young master and get some paper patterns from his shop. Just let me ask you to get them. He will understand once I tell him."
"Yes."
Yinding went to Huo Changxu's shop and walked back with the paper pattern. When he passed an intersection, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Brother Yin!"
When Yinding first heard the voice, he felt it was quite familiar. He turned around but didn't see any familiar face.
A little boy appeared from behind a tree and waved to him.
Yinding recognized him as the little beggar from the small dilapidated temple.
Although they are called little beggars, they are actually no longer beggars. The abbot paid for the renovation of the small dilapidated temple, and it is windproof and rainproof, and it is kept clean and bright.
Teachers were arranged to teach the children how to read and write. The older ones helped with daily cleaning, and the young adults now worked in Xicheng or on road construction sites.
As long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, no one will go hungry.
Yinding often sent them some rice and flour, and often asked these little kids to help in finding out information, so he was very familiar with them.
"It's you, little kid. What's up?"
Yinding asked with a smile. The little boy came close to him and said mysteriously, "Brother Yin, there is someone in the dilapidated temple."
"who?"
"He speaks similarly to us, but he's not from Youcheng. He should be from Shencheng. He's injured and a little confused."
The little boy looked around: "He mentioned your name."
Yinding was surprised: "Mention me?"
"Yes, he had a fever and called you."
Yinding thought for a moment. He came from Shencheng and knew him. Could he be an acquaintance who came to see him?
Yinding took out some money and gave it to him: "Please go to the Sun Family Pharmacy and find a doctor to see him. The rest can be used to buy meat buns for the friends."
"Okay." The little boy ran away.
Yinding hurried back to the palace and finished what Yan Ruyu had asked him to do first.
Yan Ruyu saw the paper and tried it one by one. It was not poisonous. It seemed that Yu Qingyue had not taken any action yet.
"Princess, just now on my way back, a child from the little ruined temple came to tell me that someone was looking for me."
Yinding told Yan Ruyu what had just happened, and Yan Ruyu was also surprised.
"Then go and take a look. If there is anything, don't delay."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu looked at the papers on the table and felt uneasy for some reason.
……
Doctor Cao brought the Quandao and Fengwhistle, as well as Song Ping's two brothers, to Shencheng.
On the surface, there are five of them. Doctor Cao is the old master, Quan Dao and Feng Shao are servants, and Song Ping's two brothers, Su Wen and Mu Wu, are guards.
Huo Changhe secretly sent three secret guards to follow and protect him.
Doctor Cao lifted the car curtain to take a look, and couldn't help feeling emotional, as he hadn't been to Youcheng for a while.
I had been here for many years and had always followed Huo Changhe. When I had nothing to do, I lived in the Governor's Mansion and often went to the military camp. When I had something to do, I would live directly in the military camp.
When I left, I was in a bad mood and was worried about Huo Changhe's safety. I didn't expect that I would not be in a good mood when I came back this time.
Both publicly and privately, he hoped that Shanghai would be safe and that both the army and the people could live in peace.
But if the plague spreads, both soldiers and civilians will suffer.
Quan Dao asked, "We have arrived in Shencheng, Cao...Master, where do you want to stay?"
Doctor Cao had no intention of going to the Governor's Mansion this time. The matter was still in the prevention stage and could not be made public to avoid causing unnecessary panic and shaking the morale of the army.
On the way here, he had already thought: "Go ahead, there is an inn over there, we can rent a small courtyard."
"Yes."
The inn was not very big and was a bit remote, which was exactly what Doctor Cao thought.
He came here to do business, not to enjoy himself. He also had to contact the people at Qian's pharmacy and the small medicine dealers, so it was not appropriate to make a big fuss and attract attention.
He touched his beard - it had become thicker, given to him by Beibei, and had become a full beard. His eyebrows were also thicker and more substantial.
His face is too familiar in Shencheng, so it is better to change his appearance simply.
He also put on a gentry robe and hat, looking very noble. There were also several sets of patched clothes in his bag, which he could change at any time.
After checking into the inn, Doctor Cao looked at the four of them.
"Well, if there are five of us traveling together, we will be too conspicuous. I will only take two people with me each time, a servant and a guard. You can split into two groups."
"It's up to you."
When the prince came, he had instructed that on this trip, we must follow the orders of military doctor Cao and fight wherever he directed.
Doctor Cao nodded and said, "Let's go to the Qian's pharmacy."
He took Quan Dao and Su Wen with him, dressed up as medicinal herb merchants, and went out to Qian's medicine shop. On the way, he inquired about every medicine shop he came across.
After asking three people in a row, Doctor Cao felt something was wrong.
Quan Dao asked, "Master, is this the rare medicinal herb we are looking for? Why can't we find any?"
Doctor Cao was worried: "It is precisely because it is not a rare medicinal material that I am worried."
The commonly used items were out of stock at this time. Military Doctor Cao had a feeling that this plague was a little unusual.
He heard from Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe that there might be a plague outside the Great Wall, but neither Shencheng nor Youcheng had received any news yet.
So, why are the medicinal herbs gone in Shencheng?
Unless someone else knew the news and kept it secret, secretly hoarding the medicinal materials.
This shows that, firstly, the plague is very likely to be real; secondly, some people want to make money from the national disaster.
Either way, it's not good.
Until the fourth store, the young man was quite enthusiastic: "Old sir, you are late. These herbs were just taken away yesterday."
Doctor Cao asked, "Who is it?"
"Just like you, I buy medicinal herbs," the waiter smiled, "I've been buying quite a lot of these recently."
Doctor Cao stuffed a piece of silver into his hand and whispered, "Do you know who he is? I want to see if he is my rival in the same field, so I can have an idea of what's going on."
The young man knew that competitors were enemies. After receiving the money, he was happy and said anything.
"Old sir, you have asked the right person. My cousin is also in the medicinal herbs business. He has sold the herbs he collected at a high price."
"There are a few merchants who sell medicinal herbs on the West Market Medicinal Herb Street. Go and take a look to see if they are your mortal enemies."
Military Doctor Cao silently remembered the West Market Medicinal Materials Street.
