The villagers were also surprised to see them awake so early in the morning. They had always thought that city folk liked to sleep in and wake up late, since their work usually started when the sun was already high in the sky.
After an hour of morning jogging, Yu Qi returned to the house. The others were already up and were getting ready. Yu Qi took a quick shower and also prepared herself for the day.
They had breakfast before going to the communal hall. After finishing breakfast, they walked together toward the communal hall.
Yu Qi had other plans before the first patient arrived. She caught Su Longuo near the edge of the communal hall, his eyes red-rimmed as if he had not slept at all during the night.
"Chief Su, do you have a moment? I'd like to discuss the health of the villagers and the health of your soil." Yu Qi said with a gentle smile.
Su Longuo flinched slightly. "Ah, Doctor Tang. Of course. Is something wrong? Is the water not good?"
