Wife is an enemy general

001.

Zhong Manlu was probably frightened, so he moved very quickly, and it didn't take long before he ran up from the mountain with a pile of broken branches.

After careful inspection, Zhong Xiuyuan came out with a prescription. Most of the medicines on the list were available at home, and they were picked by Zhong Xiuyuan when he happened to see them when he went to the mountains.

After he personally picked up the medicine and asked Zhong Manlu to fetch well water, he boiled the medicine in the opposite room.

The house opposite has been vacant since Uncle Hong passed away.Although Li Mu occasionally went to tidy up, but no one lived there for some time.

After the medicine was boiled, Zhong Xiuyuan distributed the medicine, each of the adults got a bowl, but he had trouble with the remaining bowl of medicine.

The child was still too young, his body had been very weak before, and now he was seriously ill, he couldn't eat at all. Even if he had the medicine, there might not be a way for him to take it.

Zhong Xiuyuan watched the child's mother try her best to feed him medicine, but he couldn't make him drink so much and broke down crying, and his sword eyebrows were also furrowed.

If you can't take the medicine, then no one can do anything.

After tossing for a long time and most of the bowl of medicine wasted, Zhong Xiuyuan stopped them from feeding medicine. He took out the pair of silver needles that Zuo Yi had passed to him before, and tried to make him feel better through acupuncture. Drink the medicine, but the effect is still not obvious.

In the afternoon, after tossing and tossing for a long time, everyone was a little tired.

After finishing the meal that Zhong Manlu put in the yard, Zhong Xiuyuan cleared out a few rooms for the family to live in temporarily, and he himself lived here at night.

The specific situation will not be known until tomorrow, and now he can only wait.

Li Mu's house has two living rooms and one main room. Because of Yun'er's arrival, Zhong Manlu lived in Uncle Hong's side.

Now that Zhong Manlu is back to live, this room must be re-arranged.

Naturally, Zhongmanlu wanted to live in a room alone, so Li Mu asked Yun'er to sleep with him.

At night, after washing, Li Mu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yun'er who was sitting on the other side of the bed.

"Do you know why I beat you?" Li Mu asked, he was busy with the medicine in the afternoon, so he didn't have time to talk to Yun'er.

After washing, Yun'er, who was sitting by the bed wearing an underwear, suddenly heard Li Mu's voice, and her small body trembled.

He was inexplicably afraid of Li Mu, Li Mu hit him on the head that afternoon, it was very abrupt, it wasn't particularly painful, but it did startle him.

After that, instead of being angry, he couldn't help feeling a little afraid. He always felt that making Li Mu angry was a very terrifying thing.

That feeling was different from when he was in the palace, even if the people in the palace were angry, he didn't care.

But Li Mu just gave him a cold look, and he panicked.

Li Mu looked at the villain who dared not speak, but his tone was not soft, "Don't use your little thoughts on me."

Yun'er raised her head and glanced at Li Mu. He actually didn't understand what Li Mu was talking about, but he seemed to understand vaguely.

Just when he was wondering, Li Mu suddenly reached out and pinched his face again.

This time, Li Mu used some strength in his hand, he squeezed Yun'er's face to make him turn his head to look at him, and then stretched out the other hand, pinching one left and one right.

"Do you know?" Li Mu asked.

Yun'er wanted to nod, but her face fell into Li Mu's hands, so he could only say vaguely, "Got it."

After Li Mu squeezed Yun'er's face again, he let him go, "Sleep."

Yun'er raised her hand to cover her pinched red face, her eyes followed Li Mu all the time.

Seeing Li Mu lying down beside the bed and leaving half of the bed inside, Yun'er stood up and stood beside the bed, "I'll just sleep on the floor." After thinking about it, he added, "I'm used to sleeping alone. gone."

He is used to sleeping alone, and he is also used to Mumu sleeping next to him with him.

Although his dormitory in the palace is a place with strict guards, but the whole dormitory is a bit gloomy and cold, so he is used to Mumu sleeping with him, if there is no Mumu, he will not be able to sleep all night .

Li Mu who was lying on the bed sat up, immediately hugged him up, and put him on the bed, "If you can't sleep, treat yourself like a big cake, and fall asleep if you turn around a lot."

Yun'er looked at Mu Mu who was shrunk on the ground, and then at Li Mu who was beside her, she dared not speak out, so she obediently lifted the quilt and lay down under the quilt.

Flip the pancake, bake the pancake, Yoona is the pancake...

Li Mu blew out the lamp and lay back on the bed. He was still a little sleepy for a while, thinking about the illness and Zhong Xiuyuan's matter.

He didn't hope that it would be the worst outcome. After all, he liked this person. If it was really the disease...

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have let this person interfere in such a matter.Originally, they weren't very kind people, and they didn't know how much blood was stained on their hands, so it didn't matter how indifferent they were.

As a result, before he had time to sort out this matter, there was a slight snoring sound next to him. Hearing that faint sound, Li Mu was a little amused.

He turned sideways to touch the person beside him, twisted the corner of the quilt for him, and said that he couldn't sleep, and fell asleep as soon as his head rested on the pillow.

With the faint moonlight, Li Mu looked at Yoon'er who was sleeping next to him.

Yun'er was only five years old when she left, she was still too young, and he couldn't remember some things.

Although Yun'er knew what was going on now, to Yun'er, he was probably just a familiar stranger.

Thinking helplessly, Li Mu reached out and pinched the man's cheek again, then covered the quilt and closed his eyes.

That night, Li Mu was sleepless all night.

The next day, when Li Mu, who hadn't slept all night, woke up facing the cold morning light and foggy water, the little guy next to him was sleeping soundly while holding his hand.

Li Mu carefully pulled out his hand, covered him with the quilt again, and then got up.

After washing up, Li Mu was about to go down the mountain to have a look at the ducks, but he found that the lights were on in the opposite room.

After following the light, Li Mu discovered that Zhong Xiuyuan seemed to have stayed up all night last night, and now it was only dawn, and he had already sat at the table and read a book for a long time.

"Why don't you sleep?" Li Mu walked into the main room of Uncle Hong's house, and looked at Zhong Xiuyuan who was sitting in the room with a bruise under his eyes.

Zhong Xiuyuan read the book all night, and now he was a little tired. After hearing Li Mu's voice, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked back at Li Mu, "You're here...how did you come in? Get out, Don't come here casually."

While speaking, Zhong Xiuyuan stood up and hurriedly wanted to push Li Mu out of the door, but after getting closer, he backed away as if thinking of something.

"The situation is bad?" Seeing his appearance, Li Mu knew that the situation must be wrong.

Zhong Xiuyuan nodded with a wry smile, not only was it bad, it was the worst situation they had encountered.

"The condition of the child's parents also deteriorated last night, and they are still unconscious." Zhong Xiuyuan said.

He stayed up all night reading the book last night, looking for a solution all night, now I don't know if it's his illusion, even his body started to feel a little hot.

Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan like this, and anxiety flashed across his eyes. Last night, he always thought that they would not be so unlucky, and he was a bit lucky.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Under the current situation, Li Mu really didn't know what to say.

"I have some clues here. I will issue a medicine list later, and I may trouble you to go down the mountain to buy medicine for me. My stock here is not enough." Zhong Xiuyuan took a deep breath , stabilize the mind.

When encountering such a thing, he was actually more anxious than Li Mu.

The two of them have gone through so much and finally got to where they are today. How could they separate again for such a reason?

So ever since he found out that something was wrong with him, he was more anxious than anyone else. He couldn't fall asleep at all during this night, so he read books all night and searched for a solution all night.

"I see." Li Mu didn't think so?

Although he doesn't speak out what is in his heart like Zhong Xiuyuan, but his thoughts are actually the same as Zhong Xiuyuan.

This person is also what he misses and likes.

When the sun rose at dawn, Zhong Xiuyuan finally came out of the house. He gave Li Mu a medicine list, and then he carried a bamboo basket into the mountain by himself.

Zhong Xiu went to the mountains to gather medicine.Among Zuo Yi's pile of medical books, most of the herbs found in the prescriptions are quite common, but there are also a few that are not common.

Fortunately, where they live, there are quite a few in this mountain.

Zuo Yi had mentioned to him before that the reason why he chose to settle down in the town below this mountain was, on the one hand, because he had found out that Lao Hei was related to this place, and on the other hand, it was also because he liked the stretching mountains .

After watching Zhong Xiuyuan enter the mountain, Li Mu went down the mountain with the prescription himself, and ran all over the town to buy all the medicine Zhong Xiuyuan wanted.

When he returned to the mountain at noon, Zhong Xiuyuan had already returned.

During the whole morning, Zhong Xiuyuan was obviously weaker than before, his face was obviously a little pale, and there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his body.

After the medicinal materials came back, Zhong Xiuyuan decocted the medicine according to the list on the prescription. After everyone took the medicine at night, it was another difficult night.

Maybe it was their luck, maybe it was because Zuo Yi was really a rare genius, after taking the medicine, the conditions of the adults living in Uncle Hong's house obviously improved the next day.

Although he still had a high fever and was still a little weak, he was no longer as dazed and unconscious as before.

The only headache is the child's situation, he still hasn't made any progress.

On the contrary, after not eating or drinking for the past two days, he became weaker and weaker. If it wasn't for the faint breathing, he would be like a dead corpse.

Zhong Xiuyuan was still helpless, but the town below the mountain was in chaos again.

Someone down the mountain fell ill.

The specific symptoms of the disease are not clear, but it probably sounds very similar to the child's family.

At the beginning, it was a sudden cold, then a high fever, followed by weakness, then unconsciousness, and finally fell asleep like this.

Listening to the family's long-term workers discussing the situation at the bottom of the mountain, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

After letting everyone go down the mountain to take care of the ducks, Li Mu and Zhong Xiu were separated by a small path, and each stood between two fenced yards to talk.

"I'll go down the mountain later to check on the situation." Zhong Xiuyuan already had a cloth wrapped around his face, if he wasn't dressed like this, he wouldn't even come out to talk to Li Mu.

Yun'er, who was sitting obediently in the middle of the courtyard, opened her mouth when she heard the words. He wanted Li Mu to tell the magistrate about the isolation, but he was afraid that Li Mu would get angry.

Zhong Xiuyuan saw everyone's heavy mood, he raised his eyebrows and asked Li Mu to look back at Yoon'er with a serious face, "Do you think he looks like a person at the moment?"

Li Mu stared at Yun'er, thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out why.

Yuner's appearance is similar to Uncle Hong's, so it's normal for them to be grandparents.Yun'er is also somewhat similar to his father, but more likely to be like his mother that Li Mu has never seen before.

"Here, go get a basin of water from the well over there and look in the mirror." Zhong Xiuyuan said to Li Mu with a smile.

Li Mu understood that Zhong Xiuyuan was just joking with him, but he didn't even smile at all, he still had the same stern face as Yun'er, serious.

It's rare that Li Mu didn't get angry because of Zhong Xiuyuan's teasing this time, but kept silent.He didn't understand why this man could still joke at this time.

When Zhong Xiuyuan saw this, there was a flash of distress in his eyes. The last thing he wanted to see was to let Li Mu be burdened by these things.

002.

"Don't worry, the medicine is still effective. I will continue to take two doses. If it stabilizes, it will be easy." Zhong Xiuyuan said.

Li Mu nodded, he also understood that he can't do anything now, "I'll go down the mountain with you later, and I'll go find the magistrate."

Zhong Xiuyuan nodded, since it has been confirmed that this is indeed an epidemic, it really needs to be prepared and defended as soon as possible.

Now that they have plans, the two will separate to prepare.

Li Mu can leave as he pleases. Zhong Xiuyuan went down the mountain to see if the conditions of those patients were the same as theirs, and he needed to bring some tools.

Taking advantage of Zhong Xiuyuan's time to prepare things, Li Mu walked in front of Yun'er.

Seeing Li Mu walking towards her, Yun'er's body stiffened instantly.

Seeing Li Mu reaching out to her, Yun'er couldn't help but hold her breath. He was slapped on the forehead by Li Mu before and pinched his face last night, so he still doesn't know how Li Mu is going to bully him.

This time, Li Mu didn't bully him, but rubbed his head, messing up his neatly combed hair.

Seeing Yun'er who was sitting on the stool raised her hand to cover her rumpled hair, and her black and white eyes looked at him with fear and confusion, Li Mu couldn't help but chuckled.

"Although there are many unsatisfactory things in the world, some things are not without improvement. You don't have to look at everything so badly. There are bad things, but good things will always happen." Li Mu said softly.

Yun'er covered her head, staring blankly at Li Mu in front of her, thoughtfully.

In fact, Li Mu really wanted to tell him that he didn't have to think so much, he was still young.He still has a lot of time to play innocently until he really grows up, but Yoona's identity obviously prevents him from doing this...

Looking at Yun'er, Li Mu couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his head again.

It was he who lost his composure, and if he would not hit someone normally, even though he didn't want to hurt her, it should scare Yun'er after all.The matter involved Zhong Xiuyuan, so he was still in a hurry.

After going down the mountain, the two soldiers divided into two groups, each going to be busy with its own affairs.

In the evening, when Zhong Xiuyuan found Li Mu in the county government office, he had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Why, don't they have this disease?" Li Mu got up to talk to Zhong Xiuyuan, and the county magistrate also stood up.

Things happened within the jurisdiction he was responsible for, and if the situation was serious, he would be the first to be unlucky.

And if he was infected with the disease, then his few lives would not be enough.

"That's really great!" The thin monkey magistrate clapped his hands, his face beaming with joy.

Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head, "One piece of good news, one piece of bad news. The good news is that the medicine works. My fever is basically gone now, but it's still low-grade."

As for the bad news, needless to say, Li Mu and the county magistrate also guessed it.

Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan who had basically recovered, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.Fortunately, God's nostalgia is not the worst result.

Li Mu's expression blended a bit, but the county magistrate was happy and had a headache, his face was distorted beyond belief.

"I asked these sick people before, and I learned that they probably came back from the pier." Zhong Xiuyuan ignored the county magistrate whose face was contorted, but pulled Li Mu to the side to talk.

There were people coming and going at the pier, people coming from all directions. If the source of the disease really came from that side, then it would probably be a big deal.

What worries Zhong Xiuyuan even more is that Li Mu now bears the name of the imperial merchant, and he is in charge of several disaster relief sites nearby. If there is really an epidemic, then these disaster relief sites may It's going to be miserable.

"I have to talk to Master Qin about this matter." Li Mu obviously thought of this too.

Although his responsibilities do not include treating diseases, these disaster victims are still under his control. The situation is not serious now, and he knows the reason for it, and he already knows that there is a cure for it...

"It's not too late, you copy down that prescription, and I'll go to Master Qin right away." Li Mu said.

Zhong Xiuyuan also had this intention long ago, so as soon as Li Mu opened his mouth, he immediately took out the prescription he had already copied and handed it to Li Mu.

"Be careful on the way, and remember to avoid getting too close to the refugees." Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but reminded, "Although the refugees may not all be sick, if they happen to meet, the journey will take ten and a half days. I can't meet a pharmacy for a month..."

"I know." Li Mu interrupted Zhong Xiuyuan's chatter.

Zhong Xiuyuan, who came back to his senses, sighed silently, but he was confused when he was concerned. He knew that he had talked too much, but he just couldn't help it.

This person was going alone, and he was going to pass by the pier on the way. Although he knew that this person was thoughtful, he still couldn't help worrying.

Li Mu raised his hand and patted Zhong Xiuyuan's shoulder, without saying any more.

After finishing all this, he turned his head and looked to the side, the county magistrate who was still struggling with how to deal with such a troublesome matter, "Please lend me a fast horse."

Although the magistrate of this county is not a big official, but because he has some means of earning money, he lives a happy life, not to mention horses and so on.

After choosing a batch of fast horses and preparing some dry rations, Li Mu immediately sped up his horses, left the town, and headed towards Anfu where Master Qin was.

When Li Mu left, the county magistrate was even more confused. Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to accept the task. After thinking for a while, he got busy and began to give the county magistrate an order to isolate those sick people for the time being. stand up.

When he left, the trouble was not only on the county magistrate's side, but also on the register work that he had been doing before.

With Li Mu gone, this task naturally fell on Zhong Xiuyuan.

Fortunately, although Li Mu has been doing this before, he has always been by the side to help, and he has done a lot of similar things in the barracks in the early years, so although he was busy for a while when he suddenly took over, but Also quickly took over.

There was suddenly one person missing in the family, and Zhong Xiuyuan was very busy for a while.

Not only did he have to take care of the ducks in the mountains, he also had to take care of the chamber of commerce and the isolation of the plague.

He can still leave the matter of the duck to Zhong Manlu for the time being, but he has to do it himself for the matter of the Chamber of Commerce under the mountain and the illness.

After some busy work, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Counting that it was almost time for Li Mu to arrive at Anfu, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was busy recording the name of the chamber of commerce, slowed down his writing speed.

"The ink is gone." Yun'er's voice sounded in the room.

Zhong Xiuyuan came back to his senses when he heard the sound, and looked down, and sure enough, a lump of ink stained a large area on the paper in front of him that should have been written in lower characters.

"Go and rest for a while, I'll come." Yun'er reached out and took the writing brush in Zhong Xiuyuan's hand, and he took the brush and ink with the appearance of a little adult, climbed onto the stool, and continued Zhong Xiuyuan's work just beside him.

During this period of time, the family was too busy and no one was taking care of Yun'er, so Zhong Xiuyuan took him to the pharmacy at the foot of the mountain.

After coming and going, Yun'er started to help him with some things, and now everyone in the town knows that Li Mu, who raises ducks in this mountain, has an illegitimate child who is eight or nine years old.

The illegitimate son looks very similar to Li Mu, and he is still a child, but he is forced by his stepfather to help in the pharmacy.

Regarding the situation of Li Mu in the mountains, the people in the town were not particularly clear about it.

Now seeing Yun'er's face which is somewhat similar to Li Mu's, and seeing the ugly and fierce scar on Zhong Xiuyuan's face, everyone immediately believed it.

When Zhong Xiuyuan first heard the rumor, he was quite helpless. He also tried to explain it to other people. After saying it twice, it was of no use at all, and he simply stopped explaining.

Naturally, they couldn't directly say Yun'er's identity.

He told everyone in the village that he was Uncle Hong's grandson, and he said that Uncle Hong had found other relatives who were smuggled when he fled in the early years, so he went to join him.

Said that Yuner came back this time, only because she missed Li Mu, so she came back to play.

"Master Li, your son looks really cute. My son was a bastard when he was so old. Don't talk about helping me, it's good if he doesn't make trouble for me." The owner of the shop who came to register looked at Yun With the serious appearance of writing, I couldn't help being a little bit teasing.

"How old are you?" The middle-aged man looked at Yun'er with a smile.

Yun'er looked up at him, but didn't speak.

In fact, he somewhat disapproved of Zhong Xiuyuan bringing him down the mountain. Even if he stayed alone in the house on the mountain, he would not be afraid.

"Nine years old." Zhong Xiuyuan replied while tearing up the ink-stained paper and rewriting.

Regarding the fact that this person mistook Yun'er for his son, he didn't refute or explain.

"This handwriting is really well written." The middle-aged shopkeeper boasted again.

Of course, Yun'er's handwriting must be written beautifully. When he was in the palace, there were many masters who taught him how to write.

He has such a noble status, if he can't write well, if he writes something in the future and someone reads it, he will not be able to make fun of him.

"Which master taught him?" The middle-aged shopkeeper asked again, "I'll ask tomorrow if I can let my kid learn from him for two years."

"His father taught it." Zhong Xiuyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Yun'er next to him.

This middle-aged store owner is obviously not from the town, so he has never heard of the rumors between Li Mu and Yun'er, let alone the matter of Zhong Xiuyuan and Li Mu. Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words now, he was stunned. I didn't respond for a while.

Seeing this, the person next to him hurriedly pulled him over, whispering in a low voice.

When this person returned to the table, when he looked at Yun'er and Zhong Xiuyuan again, his expression became a little weird.

"It's finished." Yun'er didn't care about these fools, he handed the written things in front of Zhong Xiuyuan.

"Call me dad." Zhong Xiuyuan glanced back at him.

Yun'er's face turned red, her cheeks puffed up slightly.

After a long while, he opened his mouth, "Father, it's finished."

He needs to hide his identity now, so naturally he can't reveal it here.

Yun'er comforted herself like this, but when she handed things to Zhong Xiuyuan, her ears turned red.

The little one pretended to be an adult and pretended to be calm, but he couldn't hide the embarrassment and embarrassment on his little face.

Zhong Xiuyuan took the roster and came over to look at it, then patted his head with his hand as a reward.

Yun'er turned around with a sullen face, but when she turned around, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.He pretended to be calm and walked back, but the pace under his feet became more and more brisk. He was patted on the head again today.

Compared with when he first came to this mountain, now he has more and more the appearance that a child should have.

Will be happy, angry, scared, and trot away shyly with red cheeks.

003.

Yun'er ran away, Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head, and then continued to focus on the roster in front of him, but the middle-aged shopkeeper, who saw all this in his eyes, had an even more weird expression at this moment.

Thinking about the rumors that person told him just now, and looking at the fierce man with a scar on his face, and the little boy who was about to come here to help with things at a young age, he shook his head a little angrily. Shake your head.

"The world is going down!" After recording the roster, the middle-aged shopkeeper let out a low hum and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Zhong Xiuyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the person who rushed away angrily, and said indifferently, "Next."

Zhong Xiuyuan's side was very busy, but Li Mu's side was not much better.

He drove his horse and left the town directly before, heading towards Anfu. Even if he rode his horse and galloped all the way, it took him more than ten days.

When we arrived at the place, it was already late at night when Master Qin, who had gone out to collect the bills, returned home.

Li Mu hurriedly told Master Qin the prescription he had prepared and what he had to say, and asked him to make a decision as soon as possible.

However, when Li Mu said something, his mouth was a little dry, but Master Qin who was sitting opposite him still remained silent.

"What?" Li Mu's voice was a little low, Master Qin didn't seem like the kind of person who would be indifferent.

"You said you already have a cure for that plague?" After a long time, Master Qin's trembling voice spread in the room.

"You know about this epidemic." Li Mu's eyes flickered, and after a while, he grasped the key point.

"You don't know?" Master Qin was puzzled after hearing Li Mu's question, but after thinking about it, he quickly came to his senses, "You probably don't know, you should have been in the barracks at that time."

Probably when Li Mu had just crossed over, a great plague broke out in Daning. Many people died in Daning that time, and it was finally contained by strong isolation and strangulation methods.

At that time, the emperor thought of many ways, but there was still no way to alleviate the epidemic. In desperation, he had to order that if any signs appeared, they should be stopped immediately.

It has been eight or nine years since then. Although the plague has not broken out on a large scale in the past few years, it has never stopped. From time to time, some wind can be heard from somewhere.

Hearing Master Qin's words, Li Mu was also a little confused for a while, but Zhong Xiuyuan's condition had indeed been alleviated.

"This prescription should be useful, but I can't explain the specific situation right now." Li Mu actually doesn't know much about Zuo Yi, because the prescription is from Zuo Yi.

Thinking about Zuo Yi, Li Mu also understood in his heart.

If the plague was the same as it was a few years ago, it should have started when Lao Hei and Zuo Yi were called by their master to go down the mountain together to save people.

This plague has been on and off for several years, but I have never heard anything that there is a cure, but the prescription has clearly been there...

Now Li Mu has no way of knowing whether it is Zuo Yi who has the prescription for a long time ago, but he is only willing to take it out if he has to find Lao Hei with a choked breath.It was still impossible to find Lao Hei, and the prescription was made later.

It's just that according to Lao Hei's personality, I'm afraid I still hope that this thing will come in handy, right?

"I came here mainly to know what to do next?" Li Mu explained his purpose.

At any rate, he is now an imperial merchant in this large area, and he is the main person in charge of these relief points. If the epidemic is really contagious, they will probably need a lot of medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials for disaster relief are now included in the disaster relief, which means he should pay for it.

The matter of disaster relief food is easy to solve, but the medicinal materials for disaster relief are not so easy to obtain. After all, medicinal materials are very scarce and precious nowadays.

Master Qin still trusted Li Mu quite a bit. Although he didn't know where Li Mu got the prescription, he heard that it was indeed effective. After thinking for a while, he immediately took advantage of the night to see the previous lord.

The next morning, when Mr. Qin came back, his face was already a bit joyful.

"I have already reported the matter of the prescription, and the lord is also reporting the matter of the medicinal materials. The lord has promised that you come with me, and I will take you to get the medicinal materials." Master Qin immediately took the medicine with him without touching his feet. Li Mu walked towards the pier again.

The man used this as an excuse to embarrass Li Mu about the disaster relief food before, but now the medicinal materials are given readily. Li Mu followed Master Qin all the way, wondering what kind of person that man was.

Master Qin seemed to have seen Li Mu's doubts, and explained to him as he walked, "He gave it readily, that's because you saved him the previous batch of disaster relief food."

Before Li Mu did not use the 1.1-meter noodles of the person above, he managed the disaster relief work, which saved a lot of food for the person above.

While following Master Qin to get the medicinal materials, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know whether this was a blessing in disguise.

After arriving at the place, under the arrangement of Master Qin, Li Mu selected a batch of medicinal materials from several warehouses at the dock, and waited for two days for the rest of the medicinal materials to arrive before turning back.

Li Mu was in a hurry to go back, because there were still people waiting for this batch of medicinal materials to save their lives, Master Qin didn't stop him, and let him go first after a few words of explanation.

When Li Mu went with a group of fast horses, he was at ease, but when he came back, he brought a caravan of medicinal materials, so his speed was slowed down a lot.

And because there are several disaster relief sites nearby, he had to go around in a big circle and send all the medicines from each place.

When he returned to their small town after this big toss, it was already more than a month later.

When Li Mu returned to the small town, the disaster relief sites in several nearby towns had already started distributing potions regularly. Their small town was the last batch because he came back late.

After handing over all the medicinal materials to the county government in the town, Li Mu walked towards his pharmacy.

When he got there, Li Mu saw the half-closed door from a distance.

After pushing the door and entering, the room was empty without anyone, which made him feel lost for no reason.

Li Mu wandered around the house for a while, and after making sure there was no one here, he chose a place to sit down, planning to rest for a while before going up the mountain.

He has been running around all the way without resting well, and now he is very tired.

Probably because he was back at his own home, he relaxed a little, and he fell asleep like this after sitting on the stool for a while.

It is now the weather in early July, and it is already midsummer, the cold and fog in the mountains and forests have dissipated, replaced by the scorching summer heat.

Occasionally, some cicadas' calls can be heard in the forest, revealing bursts of summer breath.

Li Mu sensed movement beside him, and when he woke up from his sleep, two familiar voices were talking beside him.

"... You must be very tired. You should go back first. We have prepared dinner, and I will go back with him later." Zhong Xiuyuan was talking to someone.

"Okay." It was Zhong Manlu who answered him.

Li Mu opened his eyes in a daze, and his goal was the face of Zhong Xiuyuan who bent down and put his clothes on him.Li Mu could clearly see the nostalgia, tenderness, distress and joy in his eyes.

Long time no see, Zhong Xiuyuan lost weight, Li Mu raised his fingertips to cover Zhong Xiuyuan's cheeks.

Li Mu put his hand on the area between Zhong Xiuyuan's eyebrows, smoothed his frowning brows, and relieved this man's lonely days and nights of worry.

The cold fingers and the warm touch on Zhong Xiuyuan's face made Li Mu even more sleepy.

"Woke you up?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked softly.

Li Mu shook his head, closed his eyes, leaned on the stool, and was not ready to stand up for a while.

He is indeed tired, if possible, he would like to sleep here for a while longer.

Zhong Manlu took a look, went out, and went home first.

After Zhong Manlu left, Zhong Xiuyuan pulled the stool beside him and sat down next to Li Mu.

He knew that Li Mu was not asleep, and he also knew that Li Mu had his eyes closed and didn't want to move, so he didn't speak, but just sat next to Li Mu.

From time to time, insects and birds could be heard in the woods behind the town, and voices and noisy voices could be heard from time to time in the town, but these were all blurred by the afternoon sun in July, and became indistinct.

The weather at this time is not particularly hot. Open the front door and the back door of the medical hall, and when the wind blows, it will pass through the hall, bringing a little bit of coolness.

Li Mu sat on the stool, becoming more and more sleepy with the breeze.

Zhong Xiuyuan was still in good spirits at first, but now he knew that Li Mu had returned, so he sat by his hand, feeling a little sleepy for a while.

No one spoke, just letting time flow quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was about to fall asleep, moved, he stretched out his hand, and grabbed Li Mu's hand that was casually placed on the stool next to him.

Li Mu raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the hands tightly held by the two. He still didn't move, just drowsy, enjoying this rare midsummer afternoon quietly.

On a midsummer afternoon, the two of them clasped their fingers together. After a long time, it was inevitable that they would be a little hot.

Zhong Xiuyuan was unwilling to let go, and only let go when his palm was burning hot, and changed to a posture of hooking Li Mu's fingers.

When the temperature of the palm dropped, he held it again and continued to interlock his fingers.
