Chapter 1031 - 869, Malicious Intentions
"This time’s food supply is even larger than the last!"
Zhang Da noticed an extra cart of food and immediately broke into a wide smile.
Perhaps it was the news of porridge distribution in Ganzhou City that had reached them, as the number of refugees arriving lately had been steadily increasing; each day’s consumption of food was not a small figure.
Deshou said, "The amount of food is still the same; the extra cart is loaded with medicinal herbs."
On hearing this, Zhang Da was startled at first, then dashed to the cart, opened the bags, and upon confirming that they were indeed filled with medicinal herbs, he was overjoyed. He laughed until his eyes filled with tears.
Deshou had recently spent time distributing porridge alongside Zhang Da, had heard much of his backstory, and knew he had lost his parents shortly after birth, growing up on alms through the streets. He held deep feelings for the people of the Gan State Guard territory, and stepped forward to pat Zhang Da on the shoulder.
"Don’t worry, with the Princely Heir and the Crown Princess here, they won’t neglect the people outside the city," he said, gesturing towards several Medical Disciples nearby.
"Look, all these are physicians, and they’ll soon join us at the city gates to assist."
There were not many doctors in Xiliang, and realizing more were accompanying them, Zhang Da quickly took the horse reins from a Medical Disciple: "I’ll handle the horse cart."
Seeing this, Deshou shook his head: "Let’s hurry, it’s almost time for the porridge distribution, and if we’re late, there might be trouble outside."
