The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 123 Jiang Li arranges medicine delivery

In Yanzhou City, the government office was stationed.

The soldiers on duty noticed a fat white pigeon circling above, and one of them drew his longbow and prepared to shoot it.

At this moment, the soldiers from that day remembered something and quickly stopped them: "Wait!"

His companion paused at the sound, and the arrow he was about to release fell to the ground. He looked over in confusion and said, "What's wrong? I didn't see anything on the pigeon's leg."

It must be a secret letter from the enemy or intelligence sent from the front.

The soldier had no time to argue with his companions. Thinking back to the furious look of Deputy General Zhou that day, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he put his hand to his mouth and blew a loud whistle. Sure enough, the white dove heard the whistle, flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.

The companion on the opposite side was stunned: "Hey~, you can actually speak bird language."

Soldiers: ...

He was speechless in his heart, but he did not forget to take the opportunity to grab the white dove on his shoulder: "You watch here, I will send it to the Second Master."

His companion waved his hand indifferently: "Go, go!"

Xiao Chao happened to have to pee, and just as he took two steps outside, he saw the soldier running towards him with his teeth bared: "Second Master, Deputy General Zhou~"

"What's the matter?"

"Master, I just caught a white pigeon and didn't shoot it this time." The soldier looked at Zhou Chunfeng who was standing in front of the map and emphasized.

Zhou Chunfeng turned his head upon hearing this, and quickly stepped forward to take the intact white dove from his hand. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said appreciatively, "Well done."

The soldiers were a little embarrassed by the praise: "Thank you for the compliment, Deputy General Zhou."

Xiao Chao thought of the day when Old Zhou was furious because his soldiers shot the white pigeon that was carrying a message. He guessed that the letter brought by the white pigeon must have been sent by Old Zhou's wife.

Xiao Chao was about to pee, and he was curious, but he didn't care about anything else: "I'm going to go to the bathroom first."

"Yes." Zhou Chunfeng responded, took off the small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, and asked the soldiers to take the pigeon first.

[I have been away from you for a long time and miss you very much. We will meet at the ferry in seven days. I will bring the children to the shore to reunite with you.

A daughter was born this February, and her nickname is Lan Jie'er. The child is healthy and there is no need to worry.

The plague is raging in Yanzhou City right now, so I've brought you a pill. Please remember to take it. I hope you're well.]

These few short sentences struck Zhou Chunfeng's heart hard. He poured out the pills from the bamboo tube, swallowed them with a smile on his face, and returned to his desk to write his reply.

The soldiers standing below looked at the white dove in their hands, and then looked at Deputy General Zhou, who had just taken something unknown. They were filled with curiosity, but did not dare to ask any more questions.

Zhou Chunfeng quickly stuffed the reply back into the bamboo tube and tied it back to the pigeon's legs. He then patted the soldier's shoulder and said, "Let the pigeon fly."

"Yes, Vice Admiral Zhou."

As the soldier turned around, Zhou Chunfeng suddenly thought of something and called out to him, "What's your name?"

The soldier paused, startled for a moment, then realized something and immediately stood up straight and replied, "Lieutenant General Zhou, my surname is Shen, and my given name is Wei."

"Shen Wei." Zhou Chunfeng swirled the word around his lips and nodded appreciatively: "Go ahead."

"Yes."

Thinking back to what his wife said in the letter, Zhou Chunfeng smiled again.

Hello, my daughter!

I think he and his wife have both a son and a daughter here.

Although he was curious about why his wife asked for seven days, he thought that Changsheng Island had many rules and regulations. As long as Jiang Li and the children were fine, it would be fine to wait seven days.

When Xiao Chao came back from the toilet, he couldn't see the pigeon anymore. Curious, he went up to Zhou Chunfeng and said, "Hey, is that a letter from my sister-in-law?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Chunfeng slapped his hand away in disgust, not knowing whether the man had washed his hands or not.

Xiao Chao didn't get angry and asked, "What did my sister-in-law say? Did she invite us to the island to get together?"

Zhou Chunfeng couldn't help but frown when he heard this and glared at him: "Why did you invite me?"

What does it have to do with him, Xiao Chao?

Xiao Chao was once again stunned by the criticism and curled his lips: "No, I just asked casually."

Zhou Chunfeng was too lazy to guess his little thoughts. After all, to him, Xiao Chao was not a bad person.

In the second half of the night, Jiang Li returned to her room. As she expected, Zhou Chunfeng wrote back to her.

Jiang Li put down the comb and took the bamboo tube handed to her by Yuan Niang: "Okay, thank you for your help."

"My lady, your words are too serious. I will withdraw first. It would be better for you to rest early."

"Ah."

After watching Yuan Niang leave the room, Jiang Li returned to the table, opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter.

[Thank you for your hard work, my wife. I need to stay in the city for a few days. We can talk in detail when we meet again.

Recently, the city has been plagued by a severe epidemic, and the medicinal materials prescribed by my wife are in short supply. The army has dispatched personnel to Yizhou to search for them. Yanzhou City is no longer what it once was, but I believe that under the rule of the rebel army, Yanzhou City will soon return to its former vitality. Then, my wife and her children will no longer be in danger.

Jiang Li pondered for a moment after reading the letter.

Now, Zhou Chunfeng has become a deputy general in the rebel army and should be given an important position.

As his partner, she should lend him a helping hand.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li found some pen, ink and straw paper and wrote down the prescription for eliminating the epidemic again.

Tonight, Mingshi was on duty outside the corridor. Jiang Li handed him the written prescription and said, "Please go to Uncle Zhou Er's house and give the prescription to Dashuan. Tell him to go to the pharmacy in the small courtyard next door and prepare the herbs tomorrow morning."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Chunfeng joined the army for her, so she helped him rise quickly in the army and be noticed by the generals.

This morning, Mingye and others brought back yams from the island. Uncle Zhou Er and Dashuan quickly gathered several families on the island and replanted the baskets of yams in the soil to fertilize and nourish them.

As Zhou Chunfeng had predicted, Yanzhou City soon recovered under the rule of the rebels. Regardless of whether the people who had fled earlier returned, the people and merchants who had heard the news and fled to Yanzhou City to seek refuge with the rebels would always need survival supplies.

Her medicinal herb trade would eventually be put on hold, even if the old island owner left her with countless treasures to enjoy. After all, taking from others was lenient, and it was the foundation of Changsheng Island's governance. Nothing could make one feel more at ease than making money and squandering it.

The next day, the children who had been keeping vigil for days fell ill one after another, but fortunately, they were just suffering from a common cold. Jiang Li wrote a prescription and asked Yuan Niang to boil a decoction. Each child drank a bowl and rested in bed.

That day, Jiang Li was very busy. She had to take care of her brother's health, but she couldn't leave the mourning hall for too long.

Aunt Hu and Yuan Niang were heartbroken, but they couldn't help much. Apart from helping to look after the children and prepare meals, Jiang Li couldn't delegate other matters to others.

Early in the morning, Zhao received Jiang Li's instructions and led several young women from the island to the mountains to search for medicinal herbs such as woad. That morning, Jiang Li instructed Mingye and Dashuan to take some of the herbs and deliver them to Yanzhou City on the other side of the river.

When Dashuan learned that Zhou Chunfeng was in Yanzhou City, he was so excited that he wished he could ride on a hot wheel and meet his good brother as soon as possible.

Mingye and Dashuan, carrying several sacks of medicinal herbs on their horseback, rode at full speed and finally arrived at the Yanzhou city gate in the late afternoon.

The rebel soldiers stationed at the city gates stopped the two men from entering the city, armed with rifles. This was partly to verify their identities, and partly because of the widespread plague. There wasn't a single ordinary citizen in the entire city, and seeing how they were dressed, they had to be wary.
