Funing City was in chaos for several days. At first, the local people learned that the refugees outside the city had occupied the city and killed all the officials. They were so frightened that they did not even dare to go out. But when they learned that these refugees were Not only did he have no intention of robbing them, but after taking out all the official food in the granary to help the people, he immediately had a much better impression of the refugees and was no longer afraid of them.
Bao Daqiang actually didn't want to give food to the local people. After all, they had a large number of refugees. As a member of the refugees, he secretly wanted to keep all the food for his own people. However, his companions kept Li Shichu's words in mind and advised him to After admonishing and persuading him, he did not do anything foolish.
After Li Shichu entered the city, she no longer cared about Bao Daqiang's group. They wanted to occupy the land and become king or something. Li Shichu was not interested in participating, so she just found a shop facing the street, bought it and transformed it into a medical center and herself. address.
Bao Daqiang seemed to have forgotten her as an outsider and never came to see her. Li Shichu hoped that they would forget about him.
The news that Funing City was occupied by refugees spread out a few days later. The nearby cities were naturally very vigilant, fearing that after Bao Daqiang and the others occupied Funing City, they would attack other surrounding cities, just like the peasant uprisings in other places. .
However, Bao Daqiang, who suddenly became rich from poverty, did not have such a great ideal. Now he has a city, and he has jumped from a refugee with no food to eat and no clothes to wear to a master who is surrounded by people and has no worries about food and drink. , it’s too late to enjoy it drunkenly and dreamily, so why do you have such great ambition to continue to expand the territory?
Moreover, this group of people is really just a mob, not even guerrillas. That is to say, the corrupt officials in Funing City are too useless and have no preparation at all. This group of refugees succeeded.
After all, Li Shichu's pharmacy was newly opened, and some medicinal materials could not be purchased so quickly, so she sometimes had to go out of the city to collect herbs in person.
Not long after she left the city this time, she encountered what seemed to be a caravan of people.
The first red-faced man stopped Li Shichu: "Hey, little brother, are you from Funing City?"
Li Shichu looked at the caravan, which was not very successfully disguised, and nodded to the red-faced man: "Yes, I am the doctor of Funing City. I am here to collect medicine. Is this strong man going to Funing City?"
Upon hearing this, the red-faced man quickly said: "Yes, it's great that you are from Funing City! The goods in my fleet were originally intended to be transported to Funing City for sale, but when we got here, we heard that Funing The city seems to have fallen and been occupied by refugees who don’t know where they came from... I don’t know anything about the situation, so I don’t dare to go directly. If I encounter someone unreasonable, it doesn’t matter if I lose the goods, but if I risk my life It would be too unfair to keep them all, so, little brother, I want to ask you about the situation."
Li Shichu also pretended to be confused, and said with a smile and a pure look on his face: "Okay, brother, what do you want to know about?"
"Funing City was really occupied by refugees? All the officials sent by the imperial court were killed?" the red-faced strong man asked in a lowered voice.
"Really, they were all killed. If those corrupt officials are killed, then kill them. Anyway, they preyed on the people and embezzled so much money. They deserve to be killed." Li Shichu said politely.
The red-faced man choked and looked a little unhappy. He couldn't help but ask: "Are those refugees better than corrupt officials?"
Li Shichu nodded: "Those refugees were probably hungry. On the first day they occupied Funing City, they took out all the food in the granary and distributed it to the people. So everyone did not resent them, but was more grateful to them. .”
The red-faced man asked in disbelief: "Those reckless men, no, those refugees actually distributed food to the people? Don't they want to keep it for themselves?"
Li Shichu glanced at him lightly, and then he realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, and he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I mean, those refugees are quite righteous and selfless!"
"I don't know if it's righteous or not, but everyone doesn't hate it," Li Shichu said.
"Little brother, do you know how many refugees there are?" The red-faced man mistook Li Shichu for a young man who was inexperienced in the world, and he actually asked her so directly.
Li Shichu shook his head very confidently: "I don't know about this. I'm just a small doctor. How do you know how many refugees there are? But there should be a lot. After all, the previous officials refused to let them enter the city because they saw too many refugees. They sought refuge and drove them away, which forced the refugees to rebel."
When the red-faced man heard this, he wanted to ask something else, but Li Shichu had no interest in being a spy or being a spy, so he shook his head and said to him: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's getting late. I have to go up the mountain, otherwise I won't be able to pick anything today." What kind of medicine, if you want to know the situation in Funing City, why not send a few people to check it out first."
The red-faced man agreed upon hearing this. They just sent someone to inquire about it directly, so they said goodbye to Li Shichu.
After Li Shichu went up the mountain, he looked back and found that the "caravan" was still staying at the place where he met before, and several people seemed to be discussing something outside.
Her eyes were somewhat meaningful. These people were either sent by the government from other nearby cities to inquire about information, or were sent by other rebel armies to learn about the situation of their "companions" and the enemy. It was really interesting, but I didn't know how Bao Daqiang would deal with it.
But these are none of the business of a little doctor like her.
Li Shichu collected the medicine for more than half a month and spent another half month preparing it. After the purchased medicinal materials were ready, he opened a shop and became a doctor.
But after all, she looks young and is thin, so not many patients come to her. After all, everyone trusts older doctors more.
Li Shichu was not in a hurry, and she did not expect to open a pharmacy to eat, it was just a pastime, so she would treat patients when they came to her, and she would write medicine books or read books when she was not around. She was very comfortable.
Although Funing City gradually settled down and there were no major disturbances, there were always minor disturbances. After all, without the officials sent by the imperial court, Bao Daqiang was left to rely on a group of people who did not know how to govern. It's strange that the public security in Funing City is good, so there are always sneaky things.
Unfortunately, Li Shichu, who had just opened a new medical clinic and was the only one who looked easy to bully at a young age, became the prey of someone who wanted to do it.
When Li Shichu was lying comfortably in the backyard and preparing to fall asleep, he suddenly realized that the small mechanism he had set up at the entrance of the medical center had been tampered with.
The place where she lives is the backyard of the medical center, so any movement in the medical center cannot escape her ears.
