The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

"Imperial Physician Dai, so the Sixth Prince said he was going to find someone, and the person he was looking for was you!"

As the eldest daughter of the Xu family and the apple of Xu Da's eye, Xu Miaoyun naturally recognized Dai Yuanli, a famous physician in the Imperial Medical Academy.

Upon hearing the voice, Dai Yuanli turned his head and, after recognizing the speaker, instinctively returned the greeting, saying, "Greetings, Miss Xu."

Xu Miaoyun nodded slightly.

Then, Dai Yuanli straightened up and looked at the remote and desolate village in front of him.

Unable to contain his astonishment any longer, he immediately asked, "Miss Xu, what exactly is this place? Why is it so desolate?"

"And these kneeling people must all be villagers from this village."

"Why do they all look so ragged and emaciated? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's expression turned somewhat somber, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Just then, the Sixth Prince's voice suddenly came from behind them, urging, "Alright, now is not the time to find out the situation, saving people is the priority!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuanli immediately turned around and saw a young woman with red, swollen eyes standing behind him.

The young woman was holding a little girl in her arms. Her face was ashen, her breath barely audible, her eyes closed, and she remained motionless.

Seeing this, Dai Yuanli instantly switched to battle mode, forgetting all about flying through the clouds and why he was here.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

Do everything in our power to save this child!

Then, Dai Yuanli quickly directed the woman to lay the child flat on the ground, and then waved to disperse the crowd, making room for a clear space.

Although Lin Xiu'e did not know who Dai Yuanli was,

But when he saw that he was willing to help treat his daughter, he felt both sad and happy, and immediately wanted to kneel down to thank him.

As a result, Zhu Ming quickly grabbed him.

Then he shook his head at her.

He gestured to her that she didn't need to be so polite, and that she shouldn't make a sound or disturb the doctor's treatment.

Lin Xiu'e instantly understood, quickly stopped kneeling, and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

With bloodshot eyes, she stared intently at Dai Yuanli, who was performing the rescue, her eyes filled with trepidation and anticipation.

She placed all her hopes on the man in front of her.

The villagers not far away looked at each other, and a question arose in their minds at the same time.

So how long are they going to keep kneeling?

That bastard Wang Cheng'an told them that a deity had descended to earth this morning and could conjure food out of thin air for them to eat for free, which is why they came.

When the results came,

I just realized that the bastard was only half right.

It's true that there are immortals.

Everyone witnessed Zhu Ming descending from the sky on his somersault cloud.

But what about the food?

Director, when are we going to have dinner?

Even extras are human!

……

Dai Yuanli squatted down, his fingertips first touching the child's wrist, which was as thin as a withered stick.

A moment later, his brows furrowed deeply, then he reached out and pressed on the child's shrunken belly, then lifted the child's eyelids to take a look...

After a thorough inspection,

Dai Yuanli's expression grew increasingly serious.

He then abruptly raised his head, looked at Lin Xiu'e who was covering her mouth, and asked urgently, "Are you the child's mother? What have you been feeding her these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiue could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs as she said, "I... I haven't fed her anything. Xiaoman hasn't eaten for three whole days."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuanli's expression changed drastically. His eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "You haven't eaten for three days?!"

He wanted to say, "How could you, as a mother, be so cruel? You haven't given your child anything to eat for three whole days."

But when he noticed the woman's tattered clothes, her straw sandals with her toes showing, and her sallow, thin, sad, and haggard face.

Dai Yuanli swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Sigh, they're all unfortunate people!

Having not eaten for three whole days, it's no wonder the little girl's pulse was weak and feeble, and her blood and energy were about to be depleted!

But then, his brows furrowed again, and he said with a puzzled look, "Since she hasn't eaten for three days, her stomach should be empty."

"But when I examined her body just now and pressed on her lower abdomen, it felt heavy and firm, clearly indicating a foreign object blocking her passage. Why is that?"

However, no one expected this.

These words were like the last straw, completely breaking Lin Xiu'e's last line of defense.

She trembled all over, crying her heart out, almost sobbing uncontrollably: "Waaah... We've had no harvest at all, even the wild vegetables around here have been dug up... My child cries every night from hunger, I have no other choice... I can only dig up some clay from the ground and cook it to feed her..."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

All the villagers present lowered their heads, their faces filled with sorrow and grief.

This year, the township suffered a severe drought and the harvest failed, forcing every household to the brink of despair. Eating clay to survive has become a desperate measure for many villagers.

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuanli and Xu Miaoyun were struck dumb, their bodies stiffening slightly, and their eyes instantly filled with endless shock and pity.

One was the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei.

Having grown up in the deep palace and noble mansion, all I saw was a life of plenty, and I never knew that there were people in the common folk who had to eat dirt to fill their stomachs.

The other was a renowned physician from the Imperial Medical Academy who served the royal family and nobility. He was also the first person to have ever seen someone nearly lose their life by consuming Guanyin clay due to hunger!

Having lived in the upper class for so long, the two suddenly witnessed the desperate plight of the common people at the bottom of society. Their hearts felt as if a heavy stone was lodged in their chests, making it hard to breathe.

"My lord, I beg you, you must save my daughter! I'll kneel down and beg you now."

After saying that, Lin Xiu'e bent her knees and knelt down with a thud, and was about to kowtow to Dai Yuanli.

Seeing this, Dai Yuanli quickly stepped forward to stop him and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to perform such a grand ceremony. As the saying goes, a doctor's heart is benevolent, and saving lives is my duty."

"The child's life hangs by a thread, and I must act quickly to save him; otherwise, even I will be helpless!"

After saying that, Dai Yuanli subconsciously turned to the side to get his medical kit, which contained his equipment.

But in the end, he found nothing.

Dai Yuanli paused, a layer of cold sweat instantly appearing on his forehead.

Oh no! When the Sixth Prince dragged him out of Gyeongbokgung Palace, he forgot to take his medicine chest.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun, who was standing to the side, noticed the sudden change in Physician Dai's expression.

Sensing something was wrong, she quickly asked, "Imperial Physician Dai, what's wrong? Why do you look so troubled?"

Dai Yuanli turned his head and said anxiously and guiltily, "Miss Xu, I am ashamed to say that I left Jingfu Palace in a hurry with the Sixth Prince just now."

"I had forgotten to bring my medicine kit. The acupuncture needles, the decoction for clearing stagnation, and the pills for strengthening the body and relieving ailments were all left in the palace."

"Right now, I have nothing to offer; even if I diagnose the illness, I have no way to treat it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu'e swayed violently, and the tears she had just suppressed surged forth again, her face filled with despair.

Just then, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

"Is this the first-aid kit you mentioned?"
