Chapter 360: Can't Bear to See Others Suffer

Isn't it Jin Hong who deceived Lao Juren? I heard that that guy gave me a certain position as county magistrate in Jun County. It should be him, right?

"According to you, we are not on peace this year?"

"It's hard to say. Once the northwest war starts, although our area will not be affected, food prices will definitely rise. I wonder if taxes will be increased and military service will be recruited?"

“Alas, it’s us common people who suffer every time we fight.

Baiyunxi frowned after listening to their discussion. If there was a war, food would be in short supply and food prices would inevitably rise.

This person is right. Once the two countries go to war, it will be the people at the bottom who will suffer.

In this case, she had to plan carefully. Originally she wanted to sell the grain to build a house, but now it seemed that she had to save enough grain for her family before making any plans.

When war breaks out, food rations are the top priority.

Even if it doesn't affect here, there is no doubt that people's lives will be affected to some extent.

Baiyun Xi came back to her senses and was about to turn around to ask a few questions when she realized that several people had already finished eating and left.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Bai Anjing asked curiously as his mother stared at the table next to her in a daze.

Baiyunxi waved his hand, "It's okay, hurry up and eat. After eating, we will go back for a while.

Two bowls of noodles and eggs cost a total of twenty cents, which is a fair price.

"This is twenty coins, please keep it."

Bai Yunxi handed over the money and said with a smile.

"My aunt's cooking skills are pretty good, and her noodles are very chewy."

"As long as you like it, thank you for the favor. We, as a couple, have never had children. Thanks to the help of our neighbors, we set up a noodle stall here and barely make ends meet."

The old lady took the copper plate and put it into the pocket of her apron. She looked back at the busy old man and sighed,

"The old man has become increasingly deaf in the past two years. I'm afraid my noodle stall won't last long."

Following the old lady's gaze, the old man squatting in front of the stove did give people the impression of being decrepit.

After walking a long way, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but look back. Another customer came to eat noodles. The old woman bent her waist and started to be busy again.

If a war breaks out, life will be even more difficult for old people like them. Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi raised her hand and pinched the center of her eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was obvious that her life was not satisfactory, but she couldn't bear to see it.

When passing by Baohe Hall, Bai Yunxi suddenly stopped and pulled his daughter in. Bai Anjing was confused.

"Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

What are you doing at the medical clinic?

Bai Yunxi looked at the worried look in the girl's eyes and squeezed her hand comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Mom is fine. She's fine. I'm just here to ask a few questions."

I almost forgot, whenever there is a war in the country, the first people to get the news are pharmacies and medical stores. In wars, wounded people are inevitable, and medical stores and drug stores are the targets of recruitment.

As soon as Baiyunxi entered Baohe Hall, Xiaochun greeted her warmly.

"Aunt Bai is here, have you collected any herbs again? Let me tell you quietly, no matter what kind of herbs we have now, our Baohe Hall collects them all. There is a huge shortage of herbs right now."

Listening to Xiaochun's tone, Bai Yunxi's heart moved.

"Your Baohe Tang is the largest medical clinic in town, why are you still lacking herbal medicine?"

Listening to Bai Yunxi's question, Chen Xiaochun looked around, leaned a little closer and spoke in a low voice,
