Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Heading Up The Mountains
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The first thing they had to do was make sure that the refugees on the mountain weren’t diseased.
It would be fine if they didn’t bring any, but coming into the village was a dead no if they did.
Of course, their possibility of carrying this new disease wasn’t high. Otherwise, how could they have crossed the mountains and rivers to reach this place? However, they had to be prepared for any possibilities.
Gu Chengrui, who was discussing a prescription with Doctor Luo, was startled when he learned of her news. He immediately stood up and said, “1’11 go get a carriage from the back. Wait for me at the side door.”
“I’ll go with you.” Doctor Luo declared, too. He said a few words to his apprentice, took his medicine kit, and went to the side door with Zhou Ying.
After Gu Chengrui had secured the carriage, they quickly rushed to the village.
When they arrived at the village, everyone had already gathered at the foot of the mountains; even soldiers were climbing up the mountains.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui turned his head and said to Doctor Luo, “Doctor Luo, you wait at the foot of the mountains, and 1’11 go up with them.”
“Be careful.” Doctor Luo nodded.
He knew very well that going up the mountain would only bring them trouble at his age.
Gu Chengrui nodded. After handing the horse reins over to Zhou Ying, he immediately went into the carriage, took his medicine kit, and chased after the soldiers.
When he reached the front, he realized that not only were the soldiers there but even Tian Jingzhong and the patriarch.
He immediately stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said, “Village constable, uncle, try not to get into a conflict with them. I’ll see if they are diseased or not.”
Tian Jingzhong smiled and patted his shoulder. “That’s my intention. With you here, we can be at ease. Let’s hurry up and head up.”
Gu Chengrui nodded and followed them. After heading up the mountains, he finally saw the two parties confronting each other.
On one side were a group of villagers led by Qian Jiaxi.
On the other side were about a thousand refugees in tattered clothes. Tian Jingzhong exclaimed, “Oh my, the number of people is enough to form a large village.”
He breathed a sigh of relief because medicinal herbs were in short supply in Qingshui town. If everyone were badly injured, it would be difficult to deal with the following treatments.
After that, the group quickly trekked forward. When they arrived, Tian Jingzhong looked at Qian Jiaxi and asked, “Are you guys alright?”
“Don’t worry, my lord. We’re fine, and we just suffered some beatings from wooden sticks.
“Besides, they’re planning to settle down in our area, so they don’t dare to cause too much trouble.”
Tian Jingzhong nodded and went forward. “Who can understand our words? Send a representative over and we’ll have a good talk.”
“Me,” someone said. A six-foot-tall man raised his hand and stood up.
At the same time, when the crowd behind them saw Gu Chengrui’s group of men, they immediately buzzed and murmured with excitement; some even cried with joy.
From the looks and clothes of Gu Chengrui’s group, these refugees knew that although they had suffered from the drought, the situation wasn’t serious. The refugees knew they could finally stop and take a rest.
Tian Jingzhong waved at the big guy and asked, after he leaned over, “I’m the village constable of Qingshui town. Where did you come from? What kind of disaster did your hometown suffer?”
“I’m Hu Chun, and I used to be a bodyguard.
“Our group came from the Hui province and pa.s.sed through the Qi Mountain.” Hu Chun paused and explained, “When our hometown was flooded, we hid in the mountains.
“After that, because our refuge spot was far away and our village was destroyed, everyone from nearby villages decided to go up the mountains after some discussion.”
“Several villages? There must be many who didn’t make it along the way, right?” Tian Jingzhong’s eyes swept over everyone as he spoke with a heavy expression.
“Right, only one-third of us are left.” Hu Chun replied with a heavy nod..
