After a whole night, the coalition forces of Xia Tang and Xiliang did not launch a third round of fierce attack on Anzhou. The soldiers and civilians of Anzhou City successfully saw the sun the next day. The warm sun was rising in winter, but the heavy snow that started last night did not stop.

If such heavy snow was like a rare beauty in the years of peace, the people in the city would definitely go out to the city to enjoy the snow, and literati and poets could even recite poems to add to the artistic conception. Unfortunately, for the people in Anzhou City, this winter will not only lose the elegance, but will also have more difficulties in survival.

Xuan Shaoning saw two people carrying a wounded soldier who had just died last night away from the wounded soldier. When they passed by Xuan Shaoning, he saw the wounded soldier's face full of frost and his face was blue and purple. Xuan Shaoning's heart felt bitter, and he quickly walked to the pharmacy to look for rouge.

"rouge!"

"Brother Xuan, are you awake?"

"I was too tired yesterday, and I actually slept until this time. It's really not right!"

"What are you saying? You will have the strength to sleep when you are full. Haven't you eaten breakfast yet?"

Yanzhi turned around and took out something wrapped in lotus leaves from the drawer and handed it to Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning took it and opened the lotus leaves and saw that it turned out to be a rice ball that was still steaming, mixed with shredded pork.

"this?"

"Shh!" Yanzhi quickly stopped Xuan Shaoning and said, "Brother Xuan, do you know that the granary in Anzhou City has been burned down. The food in the city has been supplied according to the supply system, and the food that each person has not received enough food."

"Then this?"

"I deal with the chefs every day. They mix the white rice balls with the few leftover meat to form these rice balls. These rice balls will be distributed to everyone in the city. The chef gives me one more and I will keep it for you to eat."

"rouge......"

"Brother Xuan, the chef also secretly told me that the grain storage is decreasing every day. If you can't wait for reinforcements or defeat the enemy, you're afraid that the food will not last long."

"When I came just now, I saw a wounded soldier who passed away. They looked very hungry and cold."

"It was they who took the initiative to ask the general to cut their rations. The reason is very simple. The small amount of rations should be supplied to the soldiers who can still fight and the people who can still work. They have not had much time and should not waste food anymore."

After hearing these words, Xuan Shaoning was both moved and ashamed. He looked back at the wounded soldiers who were still lying in the yard. Although they were covered by temporary sheds and were not covered by snow, they were just a thin layer of cloth mats under them. For them, perhaps it was the last day of their lives to struggle for a day.

"Brother Xuan, the war is tight now, and the conditions in Anzhou City are limited. This place is already the largest and most suitable place to accommodate the wounded. Although they refused to eat rice balls, I asked some wild vegetables from the chef, plus some herbs I could find, and cooked them with white rice into wild vegetable porridge. The porridge tasted bad, but it was still beneficial to their injuries."

Rouge pointed to a large iron pot in the pharmacy, and the brown rice porridge inside was exploding bubbles.

"I'll help you!" Xuan Shaoning rolled up his sleeves and took the shovel from Yanzhi's hand and started stirring it in the iron pot.

Yanzhi looked at Xuan Shaoning's busy appearance and felt indescribable satisfaction. She said, "This is a physical job. It's perfect for a man like you to do it. Then I'll get water."

Yanzhi walked out of the pharmacy with a bucket and came to a water well behind the house. Originally, the well was shared by several families in an alley. Now, due to the war, all the original families have evacuated, and the well has become a special purpose for the wounded soldiers.

It is also a hard thing to get water in winter. Yanzhi threw the bucket into the well and pulled the bucket full of water up. As soon as the bucket fell to the ground, Yanzhi immediately noticed something. She leaned closer to look at the water in the bucket, carrying some ice slag, but the water quality was still clear and transparent. Yanzhi smelled it with her nose. She slowly got up, looked around, and then she confirmed that there was no one, then carried the bucket back to the pharmacy.

"Yuzhi, come and have a look. Is this porridge OK?"

"Oh, it's a little bit burning!"

Yanzhi quickly put down the bucket and took the shovel and started to serve the porridge. Xuan Shaoning hurriedly carried out the dishes and took out the hot porridge one after another. Seeing that he was too busy, he shouted outside: "Duan Lang, Feiyan, come and help!"

Hearing this, the two ran in and immediately took the served porridge out for the people outside to help feed the wounded soldiers to eat. With such a pot of porridge, the four of them had been tossing for a full stick of incense, and each of them was sweating.

"I'll make some tea for you all morning!" Yanzhi took out a few herbs from the medicine cabinet and skillfully wrapped them in a gauze bag according to a certain ratio. Then poured the well water that was drew into the pot and started cooking with the herb bag.

"Yangzhi, what are you doing?" Duan Lang was a little puzzled, "It's winter now, let's just drink some hot water."

"There are three medicines in this medicine package, namely Dongzi, Snake Medicine and Tianmu. These three medicines are all herbs that warm blood and not qi. They are boiled together and taken in water is the most suitable for winter. They can remove cold energy and activate meridian blood."

"So that's it! Yanzhi, you are so awesome. We don't worry about any disease with you!"

Faced with Duan Lang's praise, Yanzhi was not very happy. She was busy making tea soup. Xuan Shaoning immediately stepped forward to help. When his hand touched her hand, Yanzhi finally burst out with joy. But she knew that the women of Liang Dynasty were usually reserved, and even those who were interested should not express their joy at will.

"Rouge..."

Before Duan Lang could speak again, Ling Feiyan grabbed him and pulled him out until he left the yard.

"Feiyan, why are you trying to pull me like this? I'm so thirsty that I want to ask Yanzhi for saliva!"

"You want to drink water, don't you all have it?"

"How cold it's now, I just want to take a sip of hot water."

"Hold on, you will have something to drink later. Don't bother them now!"

Ling Feiyan turned around and left, but she didn't explain clearly, and Duan Lang had to stand there and think for a long time.

"Brother Xuan, there are not many herbs, and there are not many tea soups that can be cooked. They cannot be served for people in the city. I am still selfish and hope you can drink more."

"I understand, after all, Anzhou City would not have stored so many of these three herbs before. I will definitely drink what you cooked. I also want to give the general a bowl."

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Yanzhi's eyes, and then she took out several hollow gourds and poured the tea into the gourd. Don't look at the slowly pot of tea, once it is poured into the gourd, less than ten gourds will consume all the tea.

"You can take all these. Remember to give them all to Brother Duan, Sister Feiyan and Brother Siheng. You can do whatever you want."

"Roge, you're so good."

Yanzhi hoped that she would hug Xuan Shaoning immediately, and then said loudly, "It's not that I'm too good, but that you are too outstanding, so I fell in love with you so much!" This is how she fits her identity, and she is tired of being shy.

"Brother Xuan..."

When Yanzhi was about to start the operation, a woman ran into the pharmacy and shouted at Yanzhi: "Miss Yanzhi, come and have a look. There is a wounded person almost gone!"

"You go quickly!"

Yanzhi nodded, and although he was reluctant, he still ran out of the pharmacy with the woman. Xuan Shaoning looked at Yanzhi's departure back and seemed to have seen Bai Luoyao, the woman who was like a cold plum in the snow. Her medical skills were probably above Yanzhi. With her, she might be more at ease.

"Luo Yao, it would be great if you were there. Luo Yao, it has been a year since we last left..."

Duan Lang, who saw Yanzhi leave the pharmacy, wanted to take the opportunity to go back to the pharmacy to find tea, but heard Xuan Shaoning muttering to himself at the door. When he heard Bai Luoyao's name, Duan Lang's mind was the shadow of Bai Zhirui. She was so dignified and generous, confident and strong, she was like a wintersweet that lacked a petal, as if it was a flaw but still noble.

"Duan Lang?"

Xuan Shaoning's voice pulled Duan Lang back to reality from his fantasy.

"What are you doing at the door!"

"Oh, I..." Duan Lang saw the gourd in Xuan Shaoning's arms and immediately stepped forward to take it. "What are you selling in gourds?"

"This is the tea soup made by rouge. Because there are not many herbs, the whole pot of tea soup she cooks is all in these gourds."

Xuan Shaoning handed Duan Lang a gourd and said, "I guess you came back just to find tea soup, right, take it!"

Duan Lang took the gourd, unscrewed the lid and immediately took a few big sips, but he was still unsatisfied. "Don't say it, this taste is still a little sweet!"

"You save some drinks. I'll give Feiyan and Siheng the rest. It's a pity that all these robes can't drink."

"Don't feel guilty, don't they have wild vegetable porridge with rouge? Those of us who can still fight are going to bring them back to their hometown alive."

"You're talking about it!"
