Zhao Jincheng felt very distressed when he saw that Ni'er was soaked all over.

"Why don't you go change your clothes instead of running around?"

Ni'er heard her master's concern and instantly felt less sad.

He blinked and looked at his master, "The medicine is ready. I'll go call the yamen runners over, and then go change my clothes."

Zhao Jincheng couldn't bear to look at his little apprentice a second time. He had never let her work in the rain before.

The ends of her hair were a little wet, there was no dry spot on her clothes, and there were wrinkles on the corners, probably because the water had been wrung out.

I have never seen my little disciple in such a miserable state. I have really failed in my duty as a master.

"Why didn't you take shelter from the rain just now?"

Ni'er could see that her master was unhappy, but no matter how she tried to make amends, it was useless. Her clothes were soaked, so she could only tell the truth.

"There's medicine boiling in the pot, and someone has to watch over it. I can't leave."

Zhao Jincheng sighed, "Aren't there other people here? There are so many adults, and they let you, a little kid, work there."

Ni'er knew that Master's behavior was a sign that he was about to lose his temper. If she didn't calm him down, those who came to help would be in trouble.

"I'm a doctor. Besides, I'm supposed to be the one making the medicine. They're new here and don't know how to make it. How can I let them do something they're not familiar with in the rain on their first day? Don't blame them."

Zhao Jincheng felt more and more distressed when he saw Ni'er speaking for those people. How could she be so sensible?

Such a young child, doing so much work every day and being exposed to the rain, might get sick. I'll make some ginger soup later.

There was no need to waste time. "Just go change your clothes. I'll go get someone."

"Okay, Master, Auntie has been boiling herbs with me just now, and the young man who went to collect herbs earlier has dug up some yellow mud and is preparing to make a stove."

"Master, when you go, please ask Auntie to go back and change her clothes. I wonder if she can find a clean set of clothes and shoes. The clothes and shoes of the young man digging the yellow mud are all torn to pieces."

"Also ask where I can find straw. I need straw to make the stove."

Zhao Jincheng nodded and wrote down what Ni'er had told him. He didn't expect that when he was away, someone would listen to Ni'er's orders and be willing to help. "I'll go and ask the yamen runners to see if they can get it."

"Go and change quickly."

Ni'er smiled sweetly at her master, and after talking for a while, most of her fatigue disappeared.

After explaining the rest of the matter, Master could be prepared. Finally, we don’t have to wear wet clothes anymore. It’s really comfortable.

Under the current conditions, you can't have a big bucket of water for taking a bath. There's not even enough water for drinking, so don't even think about taking a bath.

You can save some water every day, make a small basin of it, and wipe your body with it.

If you keep your body clean and feel good, you will not get sick easily.

She returned to the tent, closed the door curtain carefully, and took off her wet clothes. The damp and heavy feeling on her body disappeared at once, and Nier rolled around happily in the tent.

She took out a set of clean clothes, which were made for her by her master in the shop. She wanted to reach out and touch the embroidery on it, but she was afraid that her hands would become rough from working too much recently and might damage it, so she forced herself to hold back.

He quickly put it on and wiped the wet parts of his hair.

I threw the dirty clothes into the basin. I don’t know when I will have time to wash them. But there are many people working, so maybe I can wash the clothes tonight.

I opened the mirror and turned my head left and right. It was okay, not too messy, so I didn't need to comb my hair again.

He looked down at his clothes and saw that they were quite straight, then reached out and smoothed out some small wrinkles.

My master dresses so smartly every day, I can't lose face for him. As his apprentice, I have to cultivate both inside and outside, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't be allowed to tell others that he is my master in the future.

Zhao Jincheng told the bailiff about this, and someone brought him a set of clothes and shoes. He didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and they were even new.

"This was something the county magistrate had people buy before, but he didn't buy much, thinking that someone might be able to use it, and it ended up being used today."

The bailiff pointed with his hand, and Zhao Jincheng looked in the direction he pointed. It was a pile of straw that was more than one person tall.

"Take it if you need it, and tell us if it's not enough."

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

The yamen runners pushed the cart and prepared to get the medicine.

Otherwise, your arms will get sore from carrying the weight of a basin so far away, and there is also the risk of accidentally spilling it.

Although this car is not very useful, it is better than having nothing.

Ni'er was wondering if she would meet her master on the way back. As soon as she thought about it, she saw her master from afar, with a few yamen runners beside him.

I wanted to run straight to my master. As long as he was there, I always felt that I could still be a real child and didn't need to worry about so many things. Suddenly, I remembered that my aunt's clothes were still wet. It would not be good if so many men saw it. I better hurry to find my aunt.

Ni'er ran away as soon as she could, otherwise, these people had big steps and if she didn't run faster, she might run into them.

Zhao Jincheng looked at a little person running very fast in front of him, who looked like Ni'er. He didn't know why she was running so fast. Everything had been explained and she was not needed to run around for the time being. Could it be that there was something else going on?

He suppressed the doubts in his mind and followed the bailiffs. They were almost there anyway.

Nier ran to the place and stood there panting.

"Auntie, go back and change your clothes."

When the aunt saw Ni'er running like this, she felt a little touched. It didn't matter if she changed her clothes a little later. What would she do if she got a stomachache from running any further?

"Okay, I'll go right away. No need to be so anxious. If there's a next time, just walk slowly and don't choke on the wind."

Nier did have some pain in her stomach. She wanted to frown, bend down and press her stomach, but her aunt hadn't left yet. She was afraid that her aunt would feel uncomfortable if she saw it, so she endured it and didn't move.

When the aunt saw several men coming over here not far away, she knew Ni'er's good intentions and couldn't help but say to herself: "This child is really thoughtful and considerate of others. How did her parents give birth to such a good child?"

When Nier saw her aunt walking away, she wanted to bend down and rest for a while. She turned around and caught a glimpse of her master's figure. She sighed silently and thought, "Forget it, just stand there" so that he wouldn't see her and feel distressed.

Just as I recovered, I felt someone tap on my shoulder. "Why were you running so fast just now?"

"Oh, I just haven't run for a long time. I want to run for a while."

Zhao Jincheng knew that she was not talking about this matter, so he did not ask any further questions since his disciple did not want to talk about it.
