Chapter 316: Xu Huahua
About thirty kilometers outside Medical Valley, in Nuo Commandery, there was a very barren little village.
The village consisted of only thirteen households. Because there were so few people, whenever something important happened in the village, everyone would gather together to discuss it.
At this moment, all the villagers were gathered in the village chief’s small courtyard—young and old alike. Even the toddlers, just one or two years old, were carried over by their elders.
The village chief’s courtyard was not large; it couldn’t be said to be completely destitute, but in reality it was hardly better than bare walls and empty rooms.
The whole village was very poor.
The village chief was over sixty years old, his hair turning white, his face full of wrinkles. He sat on a stool by the doorstep, leaning on his cane, his cloudy eyes looking at the villagers as he listened to their various comments.
The villagers were all poorly dressed, dark and skinny, with deeply weathered faces full of the marks of hard years. Clearly, they were people who had never known a good life, but at this moment, their eyes all seemed to be shining brightly.
They were talking to the village chief about the Medical Academy.
