"Herbal medicine is enough. How can you dislike it? Thank you sister-in-law."

The peasant woman felt a little embarrassed when she heard Qin Zhongwan's thanks, and waved her hands casually, "It's just ordinary herbs picked from the mountains. Just don't dislike it. I'll go and boil it now."

Half an hour later, a bowl of decoction was poured in. Qin Zhongwan went to the kitchen to take a look at the medicinal materials prepared by the peasant woman. As she said, they were all ordinary herbs and nothing out of the ordinary.

Although the herbal medicine was not a valuable thing, the effect was surprisingly good. Qin Zhongwan stayed with her for most of the night. When she saw that Gu Siyuan's fever had gone away in the middle of the night, she breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the room next door.

The tits stopped on the wall of the courtyard and chirped. Gu Siyuan was awakened by the cries of the tits. He opened his eyes for a moment, immediately looked around vigilantly, and stood up with strength.

It was an ordinary house made of mud and tiles. It was neatly tidied up, but it could not hide the age of the house. There were still traces of flooding on the walls.

As Gu Siyuan stood up, the wounds on his waist and abdomen stung, and the bitter smell of the soup still lingered in his mouth.

Someone gave him medicine.

When Gu Siyuan realized this, he lowered his head and saw that his upper body clothes had been changed into half-length coarse linen clothes.

Who changed his clothes for him, Qin Zhongwan?Why is she nowhere to be seen here?

"..."

The wooden door was pushed open, and Gu Siyuan heard a muttering first.

"No one's awake yet, what kind of food are you coming here to deliver?"

The man lowered his head and stepped over the threshold. When he raised his head, he froze on the spot.

"you're awake?!"

Gu Siyuan remained silent, his eyes as sharp as knives. If anything happened to the man, he would find a way to kill him as soon as possible no matter what.

Liu Zhi was a rough man and didn't know how to read people's emotions. Little did he know that at that moment, Gu Siyuan had murderous intentions for him.

When he saw that someone was awake, he hurried out to greet his mother-in-law.

Qin Zhongwan was woken up by the peasant woman's knock on the door. When she heard that Gu Siyuan was awake, she was overjoyed. Without saying anything, she got up and went to the west room.

The moment Gu Siyuan picked up Qin Zhongwan, he knew that it was probably Qin Zhongwan who was in the farmer's house here.

He didn't know what Qin Zhongwan said in order to stay here. Gu Siyuan cautiously closed his mouth. The moment his eyes fell on Qin Zhongwan, he had an indescribable complex mood.

She was clearly told to be alone and protect herself first, but this silly girl refused to listen to anyone's advice.

"Brother, you're awake. It's great. It scared my sister and me to death."

Qin Zhong took two steps forward in the evening and winked at Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan was speechless for a moment, brother or sister?Does the emperor, who is far away in Kyoto, know that he has a princess under his knees?

There was a hint of smile in Gu Siyuan's eyes. Although it was shallow, Qin Zhongwan could see it clearly. He had doubts in his heart, but there were still outsiders present, so it was inconvenient to ask more questions.

"Brother, we survived the disaster thanks to Sister Liu's help. If Sister Liu hadn't been willing to take us in, and even took out her own herbs to make medicine for you last night, sister, I don't know what I would have done."

Qin Zhongwan said with tears in his eyes. Gu Siyuan knew that her first priority was acting, but he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu." Gu Siyuan met the peasant woman's curious eyes and nodded in thanks.

Sister-in-law Liu smiled plainly and said, "What's the big deal? We are all poor people, so there is no need to be so solemn."

She quietly muttered in her heart, Qin Zhongwan looked good-looking but had an easy-to-get-together personality. Why did her brother seem so calm and self-reliant?

"People safe is good."

"Thank you Sister Liu and Brother Liu, otherwise our two miserable brothers and sisters would not know where to go." Qin Zhongwan lowered his eyes in frustration.

Liu Zhi looked at them as pitiful people, and then thought about himself. After encountering this natural disaster, coupled with the man-made disaster caused by the court's inaction, it was not just the common people who suffered!

"We are all poor people. The taxes are heavy today, and there is not much food left in the fields. We also encountered floods this year, which is driving us to a dead end!"

"Da Liu, don't say anything depressing. Didn't the court's subsidies say that they are on the road? Maybe it's not easy to walk on the road, so there are a lot of delays." Sister-in-law Liu has scruples and complains about this and that every day. She knows the temper of her own men. , is nothing more than being unforgiving, not a bad person.

But if these words are heard by caring people, they are just ordinary people.

When Liu Zhi was persuaded by his mother-in-law, he became even more angry, "What a bullshit government, a bunch of worms, do you really think there will be any subsidies? Even if there are subsidies from the court, they have already become theirs." Oil and water!”

When Qin Zhongwan and Gu Siyuan heard this, their expressions were solemn.

Sister-in-law Liu sighed, the world is difficult, what can they do?

"Brother Liu, don't be angry. My brother and I are from Xu County. The situation in Xu County..." Qin Zhongwan smiled bitterly, which was far better than other words.

Gu Siyuan nodded and added, "Many people in the local area no longer have enough to eat."

"Yes, my brother and I were already homeless and just wanted a way to survive. We also met bandits."
