Su Yue smiled and said, "You can wear this dress in your room, and change into other clothes when you come out. This kind of dress won't be too hot when you sleep. Anyway, I guarantee that once you wear this dress, you will feel so comfortable that you won't want to take it off."

Su Yue actually did this for herself. As long as everyone got used to it, it wouldn't be too abrupt if she wore less. In this extreme heat, who could wear three layers of clothes like usual?

When the women heard that they could just wear the clothes at home, they did not object, but instead followed Madam Yang to learn how to make clothes.

Song Mingtao and Liu Shan took advantage of the night and drove an ox cart each to Xiaohe Village quietly.

The creaking wooden wheels of the ox cart formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the night. Following Su Yue's instructions, the two came to the doorstep of the village doctor, Dr. Wu.

Doctor Wu and his wife were just about to go to bed when they heard someone knocking on the door. They thought it was someone in the village who was sick and came to see them.

Doctor Wu's wife, Qian, hurried out wearing a thin coat to open the door, and saw Liu Shan and another strange man.

She was a little surprised and said, "It turned out to be Dashan. You came here so late at night. Could it be that someone in your family is not feeling well?"

Liu Shan shook his head and said, "No, everyone in the family is fine. Sister-in-law, we have something to ask Brother Wu."

Qian looked at Liu Shan and Song Mingtao in confusion, "Is that so? He hasn't slept yet. Come in first, I'll go call him."

Qian led Liu Shan and Song Mingtao into the house, then turned around to call Doctor Wu.

After a while, Doctor Wu came out and saw Liu Shan and Song Mingtao, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Dashan, who is this? Why do you come to see me so late?" asked Doctor Wu.

Liu Shan quickly introduced, "Brother Wu, this is Song Mingtao, the housekeeper of Weilou. We are here today because the young lady asked us to discuss something important with you."

Doctor Wu frowned slightly, "Young lady? I have only met her once and we are not familiar with each other. What's the matter?"

Doctor Wu suddenly thought of something after he finished speaking. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Could it be that the girl wanted to sell me that excellent wound medicine?"

Liu Shan and Song Mingtao looked at each other, and Song Mingtao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Doctor Wu, that's not the case. My daughter heard that Doctor Wu is a great doctor, so she wants to invite you and your family to move into the tower."

Qian came over with three bowls of herbal tea and gave one to Liu Shan and Song Mingtao respectively. "Please have some tea. This is the herbal tea prepared by my old man. It is very effective in cooling down the body."

After saying that, he gave the last remaining bowl to Doctor Wu and then sat down next to Doctor Wu.

Doctor Wu took the herbal tea and said, "We are used to living freely in the village, and we don't want to be servants to others."

Liu Shan took a sip of herbal tea and explained, "Brother Wu, you misunderstood. Miss Su Yue invited you to the enclosure so that everyone can jointly cope with the difficult situation that may come.

In the tower, you are treated the same as the rest of us, and are definitely not servants."

Song Mingtao also nodded in agreement: "Doctor Wu, the current situation is unclear and life is not easy. I am sure you also know that there are more and more refugees recently, and this drought will be very serious.

The tower has solid defenses, and everyone works together to take care of each other. You and your family can stay in the tower, which not only ensures your safety, but also allows you to use your medical skills. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

Doctor Wu hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Qian. Qian thought for a moment and said, "Master, what they said makes sense. If the drought really comes, the village will definitely not be able to survive. Weilou may be a better choice."

Song Mingtao nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is right. In addition, we have built several reservoirs in Weilou to cope with the upcoming drought. You won't have to worry about running out of water when you go there.

The girl had asked us to stock up on a lot of medicinal herbs before, but unfortunately no one knew medicine. So when she heard Brother Liu Shan say that Doctor Wu was a good person with great medical skills, she asked us to invite your family to move into the tower.

You don't have to do anything when you enter the tower. Just take care of the medicinal materials and treat everyone.

The girl takes care of your family's three meals a day and pays you three taels of silver every month.

If your children have jobs, the girl will give them extra monthly wages. Now that the weather is hot, the girl will also give each family four basins of ice a day to help everyone get through this drought."

Doctor Wu and Mrs. Qian were greatly shocked when they heard Song Mingtao's words. Three taels of silver a month was not a small amount, not to mention there were many benefits.

Doctor Wu was slightly moved and said, "This treatment is indeed generous, but if we rashly move into the tower, will it cause you trouble?"

Liu Shan said quickly, "Brother Wu, you think too much. Miss Su Yue sincerely hopes that you can go to Weilou. With your medical skills, if anyone has a headache or fever, they can get treatment in time."

Qian tugged at Doctor Wu’s sleeve and said softly, “Master, I think this is a good opportunity and the children will be safer.

We can also have a stable place to continue living, especially now that my daughter-in-law is pregnant again, this ice basin will make her feel better."

Doctor Wu thought for a moment and asked, "What if we move away and people in the village want to see me for medical treatment?"

"Brother Wu, it's not like you haven't been to the Weilou before. There's not much distance between the village and the Weilou. Just let them go to the Weilou to find you.

I have to say something unpleasant, if the temperature keeps rising, once the river dries up and there is no water, everyone may have to flee." Liu Shan sighed.

When Qian heard this, she slapped her thigh and said, "Dashan, you are right. I heard the village chief's wife say it today. The village chief meant that if there is no water in the river and the two old wells in our village, we may have to move the whole village to the south."

Doctor Wu frowned and looked at Qian unhappily and said, "You woman, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Qian explained awkwardly, "I just forgot because I was busy. But you said this river is not small, so how could it be dry? When I went to fetch water this afternoon, the water level in the well had indeed dropped."

Doctor Wu sighed and said, "It's hard to predict what will happen in this world. If it really comes to that, the people in the village will suffer."

Liu Shan and Song Mingtao looked at each other, and Liu Shan said, "Brother Wu, so we should go to the tower. There are reservoirs and food in the tower. Even if the situation outside is bad, we can hold out for a while."

Song Mingtao also nodded and said, "Yes, Doctor Wu, and my daughter has been preparing for various situations. If we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

Doctor Wu was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, let's decide to move into the tower. But I also have a request. If people from the village come to see me for medical treatment, the people in the tower cannot stop them."
