Knowing that they were finally safe, Shen Ruoyan finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already dusk. Shen Ruoyan found herself lying on a simple bed made of wooden boards. There was no formal bedding under her body, but two pieces of cloth spread on a pile of straw. Although the conditions were simple, they were better than The cave she slept in was much better.

Seeing her open her eyes, a girl with a pair of braids ran over excitedly and said in a squeaky voice: "Sister! Sister, are you finally awake? Are you hungry? When you fell asleep, I When I heard your butt growling, I originally wanted to wake you up to eat, but my mother told you to sleep more.

Oh, by the way, I'll call Dr. Zhou. "

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Ruoyan to speak, the little girl turned around and ran away.

Shen Ruoyan wanted to get up, but her arms were as heavy as stones and she couldn't lift them up.

Not long after, the familiar middle-aged man was pulled in by the little girl with braids.

"Dr. Zhou, you see my sister is really awake. Please check on her quickly. She shouldn't be sick, right?" The little girl led her to Shen Ruoyan's bedside and said seriously.

"Miss Shen, are you feeling better?" the middle-aged man called Doctor Zhou asked warmly.

Shen Ruoyan opened her mouth, but her throat was dry and she couldn't say a word. She could only nodded to indicate that she was fine.

At this time, a smell of rice fragrance floated into Shen Ruoyan's nose, and an old woman came over carrying a porcelain bowl with a corner missing.

"You two, don't get stuck here. If you are sick or not, my girl must be hungry. I made porridge with the leftover rice at home and gave it to my girl to drink." The old woman pushed the two of them away, as if she was offering a treasure. I met a bowl of white porridge.

It is said to be white porridge, but in fact there is very little rice in it, but because of the hard work of the cook, a few grains of white rice are boiled into a bowl of thick rice soup.

Shen Ruoyan was helped up, took the bowl with both hands, and looked at the thin rice paste. She knew that this was the best thing they could come up with, and she felt very complicated.

Seeing that she was not moving while holding the bowl, the little girl with crotch braids said, "Sister, drink it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Shen Ruoyan picked up the bowl and took a sip. A warm current flowed down her throat and reached her stomach. The fragrance of rice surged wantonly throughout her body, making her feel that she had never tasted such delicious porridge in her life.

After eating a bowl of hot porridge, Shen Ruoyan finally found her voice. She gratefully returned the bowl to her mother-in-law and sincerely thanked her.

The mother-in-law took the bowl, but did not leave. Instead, she picked up the kettle on the side, poured some hot water into it, shook it, and handed the bowl back to Shen Ruoyan.

When the man named Dr. Zhou saw it, he was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but Shen Ruoyan took it very naturally and drank all the water in the bowl.

Now the mother-in-law happily led the little girl away.

"It made Miss Shen laugh, but at this time, rice is more precious than gold. We don't want to waste it at all, so we soaked the bowl in hot water and left it as a good thing for you to eat. "Doctor Zhou opened his mouth to explain his mother-in-law's behavior just now.

"I didn't drink the porridge completely. In fact, I wanted to lick it, but everyone was surrounding me, so I didn't have the nerve to do it." Shen Ruoyan smiled and resolved the embarrassment just now, "By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet. What's your surname? Why do you know me and Lu Yan?"

"Miss Shen, maybe you don't remember me, but how could I forget you? I thought I would never have the chance to repay you for your great kindness in this life." Seeing Shen Ruoyan's confusion, the man smiled mysteriously and said Three words, "Miaoyin Temple."

Miaoyin Temple?

After this reminder, Shen Ruoyan suddenly remembered that this person was one of the many refugees gathered at Miaoyin Temple.

He seems to be a doctor and a minor figure among the victims. During the porridge donation event, Su Xihe secretly asked people to put croton in her porridge pot, causing a large number of refugees to vomit and have diarrhea. At that time, he also came forward to represent the refugees and the Only through communication with the court did the incident calm down.

"I remembered, your name is Zhou..." Shen Ruoyan suddenly realized.

"I'll be there next week." The man answered.

Shen Ruoyan asked: "Dr. Zhou, why are you here? I remember that I arranged for you to go to a hospital in Beijing to help. It seems that your life has settled down."

Could it be that the medical clinic in the capital treated him badly, so he fled to Yizhou?

Zhou Mu explained: "I did go to a medical clinic to help, and the owner of that store was very nice. I heard that there was an earthquake here in Yizhou, so I wanted to organize a group of people to come here to help. I heard For this matter, I took the initiative to sign up.”

Shen Ruoyan nodded. It turned out that some people from the public had come to support spontaneously, but the gang of parents and officials in Yizhou only colluded with people like Xue Dafu to embezzle the disaster relief money allocated by the court. Comparing the two sides, she felt even more Those people are so hateful!

"We dispersed after we got here, and I happened to be sent here." Zhou Mu continued to explain, "Because they are close to the mountains and can find food in the mountains and forests. With this terrain advantage, their lives It’s not as difficult as elsewhere, but there are a lot of old people and children here, and many of them are injured, so I stay here to help them with medical treatment.”

"I see, thank you so much." Shen Ruoyan said this thank you not only for herself, but also for the people of Yizhou, "By the way, how is Lu Yan?"

Zhou Mu's expression changed, he hesitated, and finally said vaguely: "Master Lu... he's not awake yet."

Shen Ruoyan did not miss his flash of worry just now and asked, "Is Lu Yan's situation not good?"

Zhou Mu didn't dare to hide it, nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Lu lost too much blood, and he seems to have been poisoned. My abilities are limited, and I don't have much medicine on hand, so there is nothing I can do about it."

"Poisoned?" Shen Ruoyan frowned. Could it be that the arrow was poisonous?

"Well," Zhou Mu expressed his judgment, "Master Lu's health is very good. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be unconscious forever. But now that he is so angry and his face is pale, he may be seriously poisoned."

"Doctor Zhou, do you know how long it will take to get out of Yizhou from here?" Shen Ruoyan asked.

Zhou Mu understood what Shen Ruoyan meant, thought about it in his mind, and replied: "This is in the southeast of Yizhou. You can reach Jiangzhou by walking east for six or seven days. There is a developed business there and there are many medical clinics. We will definitely be able to Find a famous doctor to detoxify Mr. Lu."

Shen Ruoyan struggled to get up, but as soon as she calmed down, she felt that her bones ached all over her body, "Doctor Zhou, I have a merciless request..."
