"Second uncle, are you looking for me?"

  Yang Chengye finished writing the prescription and just walked out of the room when Shen Fu, who was only five years old, came running over with a hop and skip.

  Yang Chengye squatted down and said to Shen Fu: "San Er, you're a big kid now. Your second uncle is going to take you to do something important. Are you interested?"

  Shen Fu tilted his head and asked, "What big thing does Second Uncle want to take San Er to do?"

  Yang Chengye smiled and said, "Second Uncle will take you to a place first, we'll talk while walking."

  "Good!"

  Shen Wansan nodded and followed Yang Chengye out of the Shen house.

  The villagers of Gangzi Village acted quickly, and under Shen You's summons, they built a porridge shed in just one day. They also built a row of houses against the forest, and even had a medicine hall.

  Inside the medicine room, a fire was burning on a shelf. On top of the fire was a large cauldron, and inside the cauldron was a dark liquid medicine that was constantly boiling.

  "Shen Daoyan, what kind of medicine is this that you've given me?"

  A middle-aged man wearing a green robe and sporting an eight-bearded mustache asked Shen You.

  His name was Zhu Fengchun, and he was a pharmacist at Hui Chun Tang in Jiaxing City, hired by Shen Yu for a day's wages of one yuan.

  Shen You followed Yang Chengye's instructions to go to Jiaxing City to ask a pharmacist, many pharmacists heard that they were going to dispense medicine for refugees and refused one after another. Only Zhu Fengchun from Huichuntang agreed to come down for a salary of one yuan.

  Shen You shook his head and said, "This seems to be called Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui, it's for the refugees who passed by."

  Pausing for a moment, Shen You asked Zhu Fengchun: "How can there be such a strong smell of wine?"

  Zhu Fengchun said, "This medicinal soup is made according to the prescription given by the high-ranking official. It contains Guang Huixiang oil, Cyperus rotundus, Chenpi, Houpu, Angelica dahurica, Poria cocos, Da Fupi, raw Pinellia ternata, licorice extract, and Perilla frutescens leaf oil. There is also a small amount of Shen family's homemade wine added inside, which is why it has such a strong wine flavor."

  "No wonder!" Shen You exclaimed.

  Zhu Yao packed up the decocted medicine and continued to simmer it.

  Shen You finished speaking and came to the thatched hut where porridge was being cooked, looking at the rolling pot of soup. Shen You's heart ached, this was all the stored grain in the Shen family's granary.

  "Old man, look!"

  Suddenly, Fu Bo pointed at the crowd in the distance and said to Shen You.

  Shen You turned his head to look, and saw a group of refugees dressed in tattered clothes, with yellow complexions and thin skin, walking slowly towards him. Each one looked exhausted, with men and women, old and young, all mixed together, stretching out as far as the eye could see.

  The refugees looked at Shen You's porridge shed, their eyes gleaming with green light. If it weren't for the dozen or so strong and sturdy farmhands standing by, they would have probably rushed over to grab the grain from the shed.

  "Everyone, I am Shen You, the owner of Shenjiazhuang Village in Gangzi Village. Recently, I heard that the Huai River has burst its banks, and you have all brought your families and fled south. I have specially set up a porridge shed here to provide for everyone."

  "Now everyone line up in order, one by one to receive porridge. After finishing the porridge, you can stay in the houses we built. Under no circumstances should you go forward."

  After hearing Shen You's words, all the refugees burst into tears and bowed down to him.

  "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

  "Governor Shen is truly a living Bodhisattva!"

  "All along the way, everyone has been avoiding us as if we were plague-ridden, but unexpectedly, Mr. Shen not only gave us porridge, but also provided us with a place to stay, we are truly grateful!"

  Upon hearing this, Shen You's heart beat faster and a sense of pride arose. He spoke loudly again: "Don't be polite, everyone has been traveling for a long time, come quickly to receive the porridge."

  Refugees thanked again and stood up in front of the porridge shed to line up for porridge.

  Watching the refugees gobbling down their porridge, Shen You suddenly recalled his own journey south with his mother, and how similar it was to that of the current refugees, leaving him feeling deeply moved.

  Due to the large number of refugees, the porridge was served from early morning until sunset, but then Shen You encountered another problem. Because of insufficient manpower, some houses were built too few, and there were thousands of refugees, with more coming in continuously, making it impossible to accommodate so many people.

  As if he understood Shen You's mind, Fu Bo came to Shen You's side and said: "Master, this was given to me by the second master before he left."

  Fu Bo handed a brocade pouch to Shen You, who took it and opened it. He burst out laughing as soon as he saw what was inside.

  After a moment, Shen You said to the refugees who were resting: "Everyone, because I, Shen, was not well-prepared, there are too few houses for you all to rest in."

  "Although it's scorching summer now, the south is humid and the night dew is even heavier, so I hope everyone can let these houses be occupied by the elderly and children. As for you young men, please take the trouble to work hard with Shen's family servants to build more, what do you think?"

  "Alright, let's listen to what Officer Shen has to say!"

  As soon as Shen You's voice fell, all the refugees responded and started chopping trees to build houses with the gatekeepers of the Shen family.

  After most of the refugees left, Shen You saw a few children lying on the ground, convulsing all over, and rushed to check.

  "Child!"

  Several elderly people knelt on the ground and hugged their children, crying out loud while looking at Shen You with anticipation.

  "Shen Da Guan Ren, you have great compassion, please save our poor child!"

  "What's going on?" Shen You hastily asked.

  The old man said: "For the past two days, the child has been dizzy, thirsty, weak in all four limbs, sweating, and his body is burning hot. Now he's even fainted."

  Shen You hastily examined them and found that the children were indeed as the old man had said. He hastily told Fu Bo, "Fu Bo, quickly go to Zhu Yao Shi's place to fetch a few bowls of medicinal soup."

  "Sir, can this medicine be drunk casually?" Fu Bo asked with some concern.

  Shen You said: "These children are dizzy, thirsty, weak in their limbs, sweating, and have a high fever. At the same time, they are accompanied by profuse sweating, thirst, dizziness, pale or flushed complexion, and cold, wet skin. They have fallen into a deep coma, just like what my second brother said."

  "My second brother also said that even if one is physically healthy, they can still take it. Hurry up and don't delay."

  Fu Bo responded with a "yes" and quickly left, soon returning with two people, each carrying a bowl of fragrant Yougui Zhengqi Shui.

  "Hurry up and give it to the kids!"

  Shen You gave a command to Fu Bo and others, then took over a bowl of Notopterygium to give to a child to drink.

  The children took the medicinal water and soon woke up one after another, although they were still a bit weak, their body temperature was slowly coming down, and they no longer felt dizzy or nauseous.

  Seeing the children were fine, all the refugees burst into tears and thanked Shen You one after another.

  "Alright!"

  Shen You said to the refugees, "This is a symptom of heat stroke. To avoid everyone getting heatstroke again, go over there and take a bowl of medicine."

  Shen You said, pointing to Zhu Fengchun's thatched hut where he was brewing Ephedra and Mentha herbal medicine.

  Shen You gazed at the scene and sighed: "Everything has been anticipated by Second Brother, truly a divine person!"
