Meeting his wife's worried gaze, Fu Chen'an eased his expression and reached out to hold her hand. They didn't say a word and walked over to the boulder under the tree.
As they sat down, he said, "Wife, there is a landslide near the river. I will go with the soldiers for a rescue. This month, I won't be able to go back home."
Yao Zhi already knew that her husband would be sent on a mission the moment she saw his frown. Saying that she wasn't worried about him was a lie. But she couldn't stop him from going.
After a long silence, she finally nodded and asked, "Husband, is there anything I can help you with?"
Fu Chen'an observed his wife's expressions and knew that she was worried.
He thought for a moment and said, "Due to the landslide, many people have lost their homes and land. If possible, can you help me prepare medicinal herbs for cold and fever?"
"Also, we might need grains to set up a porridge stall," he added.
Yao Zhi nodded and asked, "When will you leave?"
