As the Cold Dew passed, the weather turned chilly suddenly.
At dusk, the lanterns in front of Benevolent Heart Medical Hall lit up.
Lu Tong had just finished tidying up the medical records on the desk and was placing the unsold proprietary medicines on the shelves, which were too high. She tiptoed to reach up when a hand stretched out from behind her to place the medicine jar in her hand on the shelf.
When she turned around, Pei Yunmeng was standing behind her, picking up the lamp on the desk.
Lu Tong glanced at the time and asked with some surprise, "Why so early today?"
"I've been on duty for two days, I can leave early today." Pei Yunmeng, carrying the lantern, shone it inside the hall. The hall was empty, not a soul in sight.
He looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"
"They are at South City, watching over the shop."
After Old Miao's departure, Lu Tong took charge of Benevolent Heart Medical Hall.
