"I was entrusted by Lord Chang Sang to find Jiang Linsheng, the director of the medical office."

"Chang Sangjun?" The medical woman frowned, took the token, turned it over and over, then handed it back to Ouyang and said, "You come with me into the inner courtyard first. Jiang Linsheng is not in the Changchun Hospital now.

I am currently in charge of the hospital for the time being."

The doctor girl asked the boy to continue guarding the door, while she took Ouyang into the inner courtyard of the hospital.

In this era, the defense of men and women was not as exaggerated as it would be 1,500 years later. Although women were still unable to hold office, they were not cared for by many people when they "showed themselves up" and took care of the household.

The medical woman acted vigorously and resolutely, and it was obvious that she was indeed quite prestigious in the hospital. She must not have taken charge of the hospital once or twice.

The hospital is very large, with four nursing courtyards similar to wards and seven or eight separate rooms. The nursing courtyards are filled with patients in ragged clothes.

"These patients are all refugees after the fall of Wu State. They lost their homes and were squeezed by the nobles of Yue State until they could no longer survive, so they wandered to Chu State. However, no nobles have accepted them yet." The doctor explained to Ouyang.

road.

"Then they will always live in the hospital?" Ouyang frowned.

He felt that what the doctor said was a bit nonsense.

These refugees looked like they had arms and legs. Although they were ragged and skinny, they were not sick and miserable.

With such a relatively healthy labor force, it was possible for the nobles of the Yue Kingdom to let them go.

"There is no way. Although Wu Chu's words are roughly similar, they are still slightly different." The medical woman also showed a helpless look.

"They have nowhere to go, and no one is willing to take in such a group of people who have subjugated their country. Letting them wander around in Shouchun will cause chaos in public order, and it is impossible to catch them and kill them, right? So they can only be temporarily housed in the hospital."

"In that case, the burden on the hospital will be really heavy."

"It's not bad. Imperial Master Zhu Ji himself is in Shouchun. It is said that he is a good friend of Chang Sangjun and often donates to the Changchun Hospital. With his help, the hospital can still barely maintain itself."

She took a long breath and said, "But these one hundred and ten refugees are already the limit of the hospital. Any more will affect the normal operation of the hospital."

The doctor woman walked while talking, and Ouyang followed the doctor woman all the way to a room full of medicinal materials.

This should be the doctor's own room. Ouyang could vaguely see a bed through the screen.

"Is it true that no one wants those refugees?" Seeing no one around, Ouyang expressed his doubts, "No matter how you look at them, they are relatively healthy. I don't believe that the nobles of Yue will not want them."

The doctor woman said hesitantly: "About this... I actually have doubts about this. But the nobles of Chu State are really unwilling to have such a group of subjugated people, even as slaves. There is even a look on their faces that they can't avoid it.

It feels as if there is some kind of plague among these refugees."

"Is there really a plague? Are you worried about some kind of plague from Wu?" Ouyang asked.

The medical woman shook her head: "These refugees are all healthy and there are no signs of the plague."

"Tsk, it feels a little bad to accept such a group of unclear people..." Ouyang smacked his mouth.

"Actually, I also have this concern... But there is no way. Jiang Linsheng is not in the hospital, so we can only take him in temporarily." The doctor woman explained, "Fortunately, these refugees do not have many requirements, just a bowl of porridge every day, no.

As for starving to death, but not having enough to eat, there will be no trouble."

"If they are weak for a long time, it's really not bad. You don't have to worry about them doing anything excessive." Ouyang nodded.

"Okay, tell me about your origins." The medical woman sat at the table and introduced herself first, "My name is Jiang Yu, I am Jiang Linsheng's daughter, and I am currently the head of the hospital."

Ouyang saluted slightly and said: "My name is Ouyang, and I have been friends with Mr. Chang Sang for many years. This time, I have been entrusted by Mr. Chang Sang to deal with some matters, and I need your father's help."

"Jiang Linsheng took his apprentice to Yingdu some time ago, and he won't be able to come back for a while." Jiang Yu poured a cup of tea for Ouyang, then drank it without saying hello, and said,

"If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. Whatever needs to be done, as long as Changchun Hospital can do it, we will do it for you. Of course, you can also wait for Jiang Linsheng to come back. I guess it will only take a few days.

.”

"Well... then, I need a place to sleep, no matter where I am. Then I need to collect information, a lot of information, about the major events that happened in Shouchun City and its surrounding towns, or some abnormal phenomena, the more the better.

"Ouyang said.

Jiang Yu glanced at Ouyang: "Then do I need to arrange food for you?"

"Uh... no need." Ouyang scratched his cheek awkwardly with his index finger. He felt that based on his appetite, such a small hospital might not be able to afford it.

"That's fine, I'll save a meal if I can." Jiang Yu said without hesitation.

"Ahem." Ouyang could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

…………………………

Jiang Yu was very busy. After arranging Ouyang in a small guest room, she called everyone in the hospital. First, she ordered the apprentices and doctors in the hospital to help Ouyang collect information about Shouchun, which could be obtained from the patients.

Then I went to take care of those patients, either giving them medicine, giving them acupuncture, or massaging their bones.

The people in the nursing home are not just the refugees who are just hanging out waiting to die, but there are also many real patients. These patients are inconvenient to move and are lying on the hospital bed waiting to be cured. They are either poisoned or injured due to falls.

.

Seeing the people in the hospital busy with their business, Ouyang felt that he was suddenly redundant.

He did not volunteer to say that he actually knew medical skills. Although he had learned from Chang Sangjun, he had only learned it for a month and was only half-qualified. He did not dare to see a doctor himself.

After being dazed for a while, Ouyang closed the door of his guest room and left the hospital.

He didn't bring anything valuable, well, to be precise, he didn't bring anything, and there was nothing in the small guest room, so there was no need to lock the door.

After leaving the hospital and Hu Lou Yi, Ouyang kept walking southward.

About one kilometer south of Hulouyi is a forest, which is far more primitive and deeper than the forest where Shennong Stream is located.

According to the salesman, there are many ferocious beasts in this forest, and there are even legends about spirits.

The most common one is the forest wolf, which is a beast not much larger than a domestic dog. It is very intelligent and extremely patient.

This animal is extremely cunning, operates in groups in a family pattern, and is good at hunting in combination.

However, it is precisely because of their extraordinary cunning that as long as you can kill one of the wolves quickly enough, the other wolves will give up hunting you.

Because the wolves will reassess the cost of preying on you

The price paid for preying is too great and is not proportional to the harvest, so they will wisely choose to give up.

In addition, there are South China tigers... I think they are South China tigers.

When the salesman first mentioned big insects, Ouyang thought they were giant insects left over from ancient times, the age of dinosaurs.

It wasn't until the salesman said it resembled a big cat that he remembered that the "big bug" mentioned in the "Water Margin" he had read before was actually a tiger.

As for why it is considered a South China tiger, it is mainly based on geographical location. The main territory of the Chu State is probably Hunan, Hubei, near Anhui, and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions further south. It is not an exaggeration to call it a South China tiger.

These two animals are the most common in the southern forests and are the ones that hurt the most people. Other animals such as black bears, leopards, and wild boars are relatively rare, and they will not attack people unless they are extremely hungry.

As for animals such as deer and goats, they are too alert for ordinary humans to encounter. Only experienced hunters may see them deep in the forest.

In addition to these, there are many edible wild vegetables and medicinal materials in the forest, and a certain uncle of the salesman will occasionally go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials.

After Ouyang entered the depths of the forest, he stretched out his palm.

"Deoxys, did you sense anything when we were in Hulou just now?"

"No, it's not even as strong as what I felt in Shouchun City." A small sprout appeared in Ouyang's palm, vibrating the air and making a sound.

"In other words, there is no 'chaos' in Yulou. Well...it seems like there is something in Shouchun City..."

"It's not that there is no such thing at all. There is still some 'chaos' in Yulou." Deoxys retorted, "It's just that we can be sure that the start of the 'chaos' did not occur in Yulou, but that Yulou was just affected by it.

Just arrived."

"Then what is the best thing for us to do next? Return to Shouchun City and search carefully?" Ouyang asked Deoxys for advice.

"It depends on your will."

"How do you say it?" Ouyang asked.

"If you want to survive, you can avoid the process of 'chaos' by heading to the ends of the earth and staying away from danger. Although chaos will inevitably cause large-scale mutations in the creatures in this world, as long as the world adapts to this fast pace

Evolution, when the species gradually stabilizes, you will see a strange but safe world."

Ouyang frowned, he didn't like this suggestion very much.

If he had thought about it before entering Shennong Stream, he had already gotten to know the people in Shennong Stream and promised them to save the world.

Although it was ridiculous to be second-rate, after all, he agreed to something for someone else and chose to escape without even trying. He couldn't do it.

"What if I want to stop 'chaos'?"

"If you want to end the chaos, then stay in Hulou, observe Shouchun from a distance, and take action to end the 'chaos' if necessary."

"Am I capable of ending the chaos?" Ouyang raised his eyebrows, feeling that Deoxys looked down upon him.

"You don't have it yet, but I can. As long as I have more energy, I can be fully resurrected." Deoxys explained, "'Chaos' is actually a hole in the world, and things outside are from
