Ni'er closed the lid and wanted to put it away. This was the burn ointment made by her master himself. He put all kinds of good medicinal ingredients in it. When she saw the process of making it, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

It is equivalent to adding real money into it. Even though it is such a small box, even Miss Lin, the county magistrate's niece, would have to frown if she wanted to buy it.

Anyway, it was a gift from the master and I didn't ask for it, so it would be a waste not to take it. Hehehe, Ni'er's heart was beaming with joy. She got the master's precious ointment for just a minor burn that wouldn't leave a scar.

I raised my arm and took a closer sniff. There was a faint floral scent that was really nice and soothing to the touch.

Zhao Jincheng carefully observed the places where Ni'er was injured and breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a serious problem. Fortunately, fortunately. If it was more serious, he would have been heartbroken.

Looking at Ni'er sniffing around like a little animal, smelling the pleasant fragrance and looking very satisfied, it really makes people want to go up and rub her head.

Zhao Jincheng relaxed a little.

Nier put the box of ointment in her arms and patted it with her hands. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Eat, Master."

"Hey."

Nier naturally picked up the bowl on the ground. It was almost cold. She took a sip and it was quite thirst-quenching.

I had been busy all day and was very tired, so I couldn't help but yawn.

Zhao Jincheng was in a good mood. He picked up the bowl on the ground and brought it to his mouth, but he couldn't drink it. Seeing Ni'er drinking it without any disgust, he had to comfort himself.

It’s good enough to have something to eat now. Many people are hungry, and I don’t know how many days the food here can be supplied. Maybe there will be nothing to eat tomorrow. So eat more while you can.

Besides, the young apprentice doesn’t care about it, so why should I, an adult, care about it? There is nothing more important than eating. Only when you fill your stomach can you work better. You can’t waste food.

When Ni'er saw her master holding the bowl with his eyes lost in thought, she knew that he was struggling over whether to eat the meal or not.

This kind of thing might happen again in the future, so let him worry about it for a while. Anyway, if he doesn't eat it, he will have nothing to eat. He will probably eat it eventually. Now is not the time when he can eat meat whenever he wants. There is no place to buy things and he can't buy anything.

Zhao Jincheng took a tentative sip and didn't find it that hard to accept. He picked up the bowl and gulped down the drink like most people did.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, he looked down at his sleeves, couldn't bear to use them, and wiped his mouth with his hand.

Before, I ate slowly, one bite at a time, chewing my food carefully, but now it’s completely different.

Ni'er found it funny and sad to see that her master's eating movements were almost exactly the same as everyone else's. The noble and particular master had become more approachable. People always have to adapt to the environment.

Ni'er thought about cooking some of her master's favorite dishes after the flood receded and the epidemic disappeared, but she couldn't bear to see him suffer so much.

Zhao Jincheng looked at the bowl in his hand, then glanced at the people eating next to him. They licked their bowls so clean that they could be used as mirrors.

I moved closer to the bowl several times and then moved away, but I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart. I decided to forget about licking the bowl. It was already very difficult to eat with a bowl placed on the ground.

Ni'er bit her dry food mouthful by mouthful, watching her master's brows relax and then frown, holding a bowl, looking thoughtful. She had never seen him with such a rich expression before, and she couldn't help wanting to laugh, but held it back for fear of disturbing him.

Zhao Jincheng finally put down the bowl, picked up the dry food and took a bite. He regretted drinking all the porridge. The dry food was too solid, and swallowing it made his neck stretch two miles.

Ni'er did the same. The two of them took one bite after another, chewing it, stretching their necks, closing their eyes and swallowing hard, and waited until the dry food entered their stomachs before taking the next bite.

After looking at each other for a while, I couldn't help laughing.

Nier took another bite and said, "I wonder when we can finish this dry food?"

Zhao Jincheng couldn't eat anymore, "I'll go get some water, and we'll eat it."

With water, dry food is indeed easier to eat.

The two of them ate their fill and rested there.

Zhao Jincheng thought that his little apprentice was so tired just now, so he couldn't let her work anymore.

"Go and have some rest. Go to bed early today."

Nier felt that there was nothing wrong with her body and that her master was making a big fuss out of nothing.

She pursed her lips and was about to retort when she vaguely saw a man with disheveled hair and a limp walking towards her.

Nier tugged at her master's sleeve and winked at him, signaling him to look over there.

Zhao Jincheng turned his head and looked at the figure, which looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was for the moment. It seemed that he hadn't seen anyone dressed like this recently.

As I got closer and closer to the man, I finally saw clearly that it was the young man who went to pick herbs.

"It's him."

Nier stood up excitedly and ran over there.

Before Zhao Jincheng could react to who it was, he ran over with Ni'er. He got closer and took a closer look before he figured out who it was.

Water was still dripping from the man's body. It was getting late, and if it wasn't so close, it would be hard to see clearly.

Not knowing what had happened to him and how he ended up like this, Nier quickly asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

The young man had no mood to care about his own injuries. He just hoped that his sweetheart would get better after taking the medicine he collected.

"I'm fine. Take a look. Is this the right herb?"

He took off the backpack on his back. He felt a little weak in his arms, not knowing where he had hit them. Without caring about that, he took out two kinds of herbs.

Zhao Jincheng carefully identified it in the moonlight, touched it with his hand, and sniffed it to confirm that it was the medicinal herb he needed. "Yes, I'll go make some medicine for her right away."

The young man knew that Zhao Jincheng and Ni'er had been taking care of the patients, so how could he let them keep working all the time? If they got tired or sick, what would happen to the other patients? If they were just scolded, it would be a small matter, as it would also affect the treatment of his loved one.

Regardless of the injuries on his body, he said, "Just tell me what to do, and I'll go make the medicine."

Zhao Jincheng took the medicine and left, but Ni'er stopped him and said, "Let me check your injuries first. Let my master make the medicine. You can't wait to treat your injuries."

"It's okay. I'll feed her after I finish boiling the medicine. It's so late now. There's no need to bother others. You guys go and get some rest."

After saying that, he was about to follow Zhao Jincheng.

Nier had been observing him. Not only did he seem to be walking in a strange way, but the way he put the backpack down was also not right. She poked the part of his body that might be injured.

"Don't be stubborn."

Sure enough, a scream was heard, "Ah~"
