By the end of August, the gates of Xingyun Prefecture were finally opened.
The gates had to be opened, for after nearly three months of closure, the city's supplies had been completely exhausted, and now, many people had nothing left to eat.
The plague had been cured by then, and people could go out to make a living.
Daohua originally thought they could leave, but to her surprise, Xiao Yeyang decided to stay for the relief effort.
Governor Guo was in charge of the military affairs of Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang provinces. This time, Jiguang suffered from a flood disaster and epidemic, all of which required his coordination.
Now that the epidemic was under control, a large number of disaster victims had yet to be settled.
Governor Guo was now extremely busy, and when Xiao Yeyang visited once, he found that his uncle had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for two or three months, so he immediately decided to stay and help—that, and he also wanted to train himself.
