Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Zhou Huai strode into the front hall. It was difficult for him to smile in front of Shen Qianxue and her brother and sister. He sat down with a serious face before speaking: "Is the road safe?"

Shen Yan also looked serious and nodded solemnly: "It's still peaceful. We deliberately bypassed the city to come here. Qianxue brought a lot of medicinal herbs this time, and I'm afraid you don't have enough."

"When will the plague occur?" This is the question Zhou Huai is most concerned about.

Shen Qianxue shook her head: "I don't know the exact date of the plague, I only know that it was not long after the flood. In my dream, I also dreamed of a doctor with excellent medical skills. He suddenly appeared in the North after the plague broke out. The fact that the plague was controlled in the dream was also closely related to Doctor Xu."

Zhou Huai stood up and said, "Doctor Xu? Qianxue, do you know what the Doctor Xu in your dream looks like?"

Shen Qianxue frowned and thought for a while before she said, "His mouth and nose were covered so I couldn't see his appearance, but he looked very young, probably around the same age as my brother."

This information was enough for Zhou Huai, and he immediately let Li An in.

"Son."

"Give orders to search for a doctor named Xu who is about the same age as Shen Yan within a hundred miles of the city center."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Li An paused at the door, and then hurried back, thinking of something: "Sir, I have heard of a doctor named Xu, who has excellent medical skills, especially in diagnosing and treating difficult and complicated diseases."

Zhou Huai, Shen Yan and others looked at Li An at the same time.

Feeling the burning gaze, Li An swallowed his saliva. "The master and apprentice of Doctor Xu now live in Xiahuang Village. They fled to the northern border with Miss Song and the others. Doctor Xu, who has the best medical skills, is over fifty years old. His apprentice, Doctor Xu, inherited Doctor Xu's legacy and is about the same age as Master Shen Yan."

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you talking about Doctor Xu Jingren?"

Li An nodded: "I heard that I went to the Northern Territory with Master Shen and you guys. I think Master Shen should be familiar with it."

Shen Yan and Shen Qianxue looked at each other and suddenly clapped their hands, with a slightly excited tone: "Yes, yes, how could I forget about them being master and disciple, Qianxue, the Doctor Xu in your dream is probably the Little Doctor Xu."

Shen Qianxue was equally excited, but when she thought of the young doctor named Xu in her dream, who was walking alone to treat patients, without her master Xu Shihe by his side, she suddenly hesitated.

Zhou Huai glanced at the two of them and said, "We'll know tomorrow when we go to Xiahuang to take a look. You can take a rest today."

"Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning. It will be more reassuring if we can confirm it sooner."

If Song Shiwei were here, he would definitely be sure that the doctor Shen Qianxue dreamed of was Xu Jingren.

Everything has its own destiny. If it weren't for Song Shiwei, Huang Changyuan and his men would not have been able to escape the famine safely, and they would not have been able to save the Xu master and apprentice who were suffering from heatstroke and dehydration.

In other words, if it weren't for Song Shiwei, Xu Jingren, who was young and strong, might not have died, but the same could not be said for Xu Shihe, after all, he was too old.

So the person Shen Qianxue met in her previous life was Xu Jingren.

With the variable of Song Shiwei, many people who should have died have a chance of survival.

On the second day, under the leadership of Li An, Zhou Huai and Shen Qianxue went to Xiahuang Village and went straight to Xu Shihe's house.

When the few people arrived, Xu Shihe and his apprentice were studying prescriptions for preventing the plague in the pharmacy. There were also two prescriptions for treating the plague on the long table.

The recipe was written by Song Shiwei and delivered by Zhang Wu yesterday afternoon.

As soon as Xu Shihe got the plague prescription, he couldn't wait to open it. After reading it, he stroked his beard and said "good" three times. As soon as Zhang Wu left, the master and apprentice took the prescription and hurried to the pharmacy, studying it all night.

If it weren't for the continuous knocking on the door, the master and disciple would not have wanted to stop.

When Xu Jingren opened the door, he saw Shen Qianxue's smiling face. He was stunned at first, and then asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Shen Qianxue: "I just happened to pass by here, so I came to see you all. Doctor Xu, would you like to invite us in to sit down?"

"A few of you, please come in."

Xu Jingren led the few people to the main hall and sat them down, then added hot water to their cups and then sat down.

Shen Yan smiled and looked at Xu Jingren: "Is Doctor Xu not at home?"

"Master is researching a new prescription today. Do you need to ask him something? I'll go call him over," Xu Jingren said as he was about to get up and leave.

Zhou Huai and his companions were particularly good at grasping the key points. When they heard that Xu Shihe was researching a new prescription, they looked at each other inconspicuously.

Seeing him about to leave, Shen Qianxue hurriedly stopped him: "Little Doctor Xu, wait a moment, Doctor Xu is busy and we can't disturb him, so let's not call him. We came here this time to see how everyone is doing. After all, we have experienced life and death, and our feelings are different from others."

Xu Jingren was still thinking about the prescription Song Shiwei had given him. Although he really wanted to go to the pharmacy to continue his in-depth study, he did not show it on his face and responded to the few people politely and courteously.

"We are all fine. My master likes this place very much and everyone respects him very much. How are General Xie and the others? Is everything okay?"

Shen Qianxue smiled: "We are also doing well. I just heard from Doctor Xu that Doctor Xu is researching a new prescription. Has there been any difficult and complicated cases recently?"

"Yesterday, Zhang Wu came to our house and told us about the flood. My master is worried about the plague, so he is going to try to develop a prescription to prevent the plague in advance. If he succeeds, it will hopefully save more people. Yesterday afternoon, Miss Song even asked Zhang Wu to send two prescriptions for treating the plague. After reading them, my master was deeply touched, so he has been studying them in the house."

Suddenly hearing the name Song Shiwei from Xu Jingren's mouth, not only Shen Qianxue and Shen Yan were surprised, but Zhou Huai, who had been silent all this time, instantly looked up at Xu Jingren with an inexplicable scrutiny in his eyes.

"Miss Song also knows medical skills?"

Xu Jingren smiled appropriately, "Miss Song doesn't know any medical skills, and she got the prescription by accident. But my master and I looked at it. My master has studied many medical books, and has never seen the combination of herbs in those two prescriptions in any medical book. So we suspect that it must be a private collection of Miss Song's family. We are overthinking and looking for other reasons."

He expressed great admiration for Song Shiwei in his words, and his eyes were shining, much brighter than before.

"I see. Miss Song is truly righteous."

Xu Jingren smiled and nodded: "If Master succeeds in developing this, Miss Song will have great merit."

Shen Qianxue received Zhou Huai's gaze and smiled more deeply: "Developing the prescription should require a lot of medicinal materials. It just so happens that I brought a lot of medicinal materials with me this time. If Doctor Xu needs them, just send someone to inform Zhou's family in Damo Village."

After hearing this, Xu Jingren's smile disappeared and he looked straight at Shen Qianxue: "Miss Shen, if you have any conditions, please speak up."

"Doctor Xu, you have misunderstood. I have no selfish motives. The Mr. Zhou next to me is the eldest son of General Zhou from the Northern Territory. I think Doctor Xu has heard about the Zhou family. I just hope that if the prescription is successfully developed, Doctor Xu can let me know."
