Blake's Blind Faith and Ethan's Unyielding Spirit Chapter 48

On December 17, Blake Harrison set off back to Yangzhou.

Several areas in Yanzhou, Shandong that were severely affected by the disaster also began to try to provide disaster relief, and the number of disaster victims flowing into Huaibei gradually decreased. The situation in Xiaoxian was initially settled, and most of the disaster victims had a place to stay and enough food to make a living. After getting through the most difficult time, many people began to suffer more from the three diseases and five disasters, and quite a few people suffered from tuberculosis and colds. Ethan Bennett and his team traveled around the city practicing medicine and dispensing medicine for a few days, and were busy until the New Year.

Xiao County is not a big city, but the people are quite humane. During the Spring Festival, some wealthy families and gentry distributed pork and lard in the city, and many people finally had lard in their bowls. The people had a hard time this year, and the New Year was even more solemn. Even if they had problems with food and clothing, they would still hang lanterns and decorations, light firecrackers, post Spring Festival couplets, and offer sacrifices to gods and ancestors. All the necessary rituals were complete.

On New Year's Eve, Ethan Bennett and Brandon Lee were providing free medical treatment outside the city. They felt sorry for the victims in the sheds outside the city who could only eat vegetable and rice porridge on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, Blake Harrison had left a lot of medical fees for them. Ethan Bennett bought more than 20 chickens in the village with his own money, boiled several large pots of chicken soup for everyone to share, and then went to treat patients and give medicine, which took up most of the day. When he returned to the county government office, it was already late at night. The streets were filled with the sound of firecrackers, and the smell of meat that had not been smelled for many days was in the smoke.

Lu Zhuo went home and hurriedly ate New Year's Eve dinner, then went to the city to inspect the people and the victims. He specifically instructed the kitchen to add a few dishes for Ethan Bennett and the others so that they could also have a good meal.
