The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 756

Chapter 756: Chapter 676, Landslide_1

Daohua spent the Minor New Year with her family and then packed up her things to go to Taohua Village.

As it was still the period of mourning for Granny Gu, this year’s New Year celebrations for Daohua and Gu Jian were pretty subdued. Fortunately, one was busy with the preparations for spring plowing after the New Year, and the other with processing medicinal herbs, so they weren’t too bored.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already February.

On the first day of February, Yan Zhigao’s appointment came through. He was not transferred to Beijing, but continued to serve as the Magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture.

At this, the entire Yan Family was somewhat disappointed.

Upon hearing the news, Daohua couldn’t help but frown, "Considering that he discovered potatoes, Father’s political achievements should be considered top-notch. When the Imperial Censor from the Ducha Courtyard left last year, he had a pretty good impression of Father and wouldn’t have given too low a rating. So why wasn’t he transferred to Beijing?"

Seeing his apprentice worried, Gu Jian knew what she was concerned about and reassured her, "Now is not a good time to be in Beijing. Anyway, Yeyang and your two brothers are still at the Northern Frontier. Going to the capital is of no use now. Besides, it would only involve you in various power struggles. Once Yeyang returns to the capital, he will definitely find a way to get your father transferred to Beijing."

Daohua looked doubtful, "Can an official’s transfer be accomplished just because he wishes it? Moreover, it wouldn’t be good to use his position for personal reasons," she said, and then sighed, "I’ll have to find a way myself."

Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice, his eyes filled with amusement.

The little apprentice had one particular strength that he greatly admired: she never relied excessively on others, always preferring to solve problems herself without troubling anyone else.

When there was a loss of military supplies, he had been prepared for his apprentice to come seeking help. Yet, within just a few days, she had completely resolved the issue.

In the matter of the Guo Family tarnishing the Yan Family’s reputation, this girl acted decisively as well. Anyone else might have considered the relationship since, after all, the Guo Family was Yeyang’s maternal home.

She didn’t choose to suffer in silence or compromise, nor did she hesitate and miss the best opportunity to salvage the Yan Family’s reputation.

It’s said that Yan Zhigao and his wife didn’t know about it in advance—this girl made the decision all by herself!

After finishing the busy work of spring plowing, Daohua accompanied Gu Jian on a trip around the area.

They didn’t travel far, just toured around Ningmen Prefecture.

In late February, while passing through a mountain town, the master and disciple encountered a landslide.

The mountain town was built against the mountain, and the landslide affected a large area; many homes were buried. Moreover, it happened early in the morning, and many people didn’t manage to escape.

Daohua and Gu Jian were lucky; the inn where they stayed was just outside the area of the landslide.

"Oh, where are you, my husband?"

"My boy, my dear boy!"

"Someone come quick, there are people buried here!"

In the mountain town, cries and shouts shook the sky as the locals scrambled to save people. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Upon seeing this, Daohua left Caiju to take care of Gu Jian while she, along with other servants, joined the rescue efforts.

The government officials from the county office arrived quickly, and villagers from nearby communities came to help. With more people, they managed to rescue many victims.

The town only had two small medical clinics, which couldn’t accommodate too many injured. The kind-hearted innkeeper took the initiative to offer his inn as a place for other victims.

Seeing the shortage of doctors in the town, Gu Jian rolled up his sleeves to help.

When Daohua returned from outside, she saw her master rushing about to attend to the injured.

"What are you standing there for? Don’t you see how many injured people there are? Come and help immediately," Gu Jian yelled at Daohua, and then he went back to treating the wounded.

It was now late afternoon. After learning from Caiju that her master had eaten lunch, Daohua quickly ate some pastries in her room to fill her stomach, and then came down to aid in treating the injured.

The number of wounded was overwhelming, and even after two days of continuous work by the doctors, more than half of the victims still hadn’t received treatment. To make matters worse, the town’s medical supplies were running low.

"What are we going to do?"

"I wonder if the county office can send some medical supplies over?"

The doctors at the inn were frantically pacing, when a skinny, bearded, limping middle-aged man spoke up: "I have some medicines in my hut. Have someone fetch them to tide us over for the time being."

Daohua had already noticed this man. The reason being, he had excellent stitching techniques; any patient with extensive injuries was treated by him.

In modern times, this man would undoubtedly be a key surgeon.

"Ge Xun, save my life!"

Just then, a middle-aged man, covered in blood, rushed in carrying a teenager on his back. After entering the inn and briefly looking around in panic, he hurried towards the skinny, limping middle-aged man.

"Ge Xun, please save my son," the middle-aged man pleaded as he set the boy down, desperately trying to stop the bleeding from the boy’s abdomen.
