I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 890 His White Moonlight 23
Upon hearing this, the simple-minded Cuizhi really leaned closer to the bowl in front of her and took a deep breath, smelling a strong bitter aroma. Then she suddenly realized and said, "This...this is medicine?"

Yu Muhuai patted Cuizhi's head helplessly and said, "Yes, hurry up and feed your master his medicine."

Cuizhi was already heartbroken, and now she cried even harder, unable to breathe.

Waaah, finally someone came to save her master! So touching!
Even if she cried uncontrollably, it couldn't stop her from taking care of her master's health.

So Cuizhi, while crying loudly, helped Yuwen Xue up and made her drink the bowl of medicine.

Although Yuwen Xue was ill, she was still relatively conscious.

She clearly heard Cuizhi crying and knew who had just brought her medicine.

She mechanically drank the medicine, her eyes vacant, her mind racing.

Doctors are extremely scarce in Gushui City, even scarcer than food.

Some of the original doctors in Gushui City tragically died in the flood, while others were out treating patients and have yet to return because the roads are too difficult to travel now.

Others moved their entire families to nearby Guanglin Prefecture immediately after the flood.

There are far fewer doctors than before.

With the influx of disaster victims, the number of patients is rising sharply, and more and more people are getting sick.

The few remaining doctors in Gushui City are now so busy that they barely have time to eat.

Yuwen Xue was also stubborn and refused to let Cuizhi tell Lou Yunsheng about her situation. She kept it to herself and only said that she had been frightened and would be fine after a few days of rest.

The standard plot of a angst novel.

Next, Yuwen Xue should be unable to hold on any longer and faint. Lou Yunsheng will feel extremely guilty when he finds out. He will hold Yuwen Xue and shout at the top of his lungs to find a doctor. Then the two of them will once again engage in a love-hate relationship.

This scene had occurred too many times in his previous life, and Yu Muhuai had become numb to it.

She would never allow such a scenario to happen again.

She had to get there before the male lead, Lou Yunsheng, discovered it.

Lou Yunsheng was busy dealing with the flood, providing relief to the victims, and figuring out how to deal with the Third Prince. He was so overwhelmed that he didn't have time to inquire about Yuwen Xue's situation.

Therefore, Yuwen Xue was the one who weakly held on in the room.

In the past two days, apart from the servants who brought meals, the only person who truly cared about Yuwen Xue was Yu Muhuai.

After drinking the medicine, Cuizhi helped Yuwen Xue lie down.

She had been very tired but couldn't sleep. Perhaps the medicine was taking effect, because Yuwen Xue fell asleep quickly after lying down.

After delivering the medicine to Yuwen Xue, Yu Muhuai did not return to his own courtyard, but instead left the mansion and went to the streets of Gushui City.

Several days later, the murky smell in Gushui City still hadn't dissipated.

Since Lou Yunsheng arrived, he distributed the disaster relief grain to officials such as Shi Ling, who then assigned people to handle it.

Food, including porridge and steamed buns, is now distributed daily within Gushui City.

News of food in Gushui City spread like wildfire, and new refugees poured in every day.

This has led to increasing overcrowding in Gushui City, with the population growing far beyond what a city should be able to carry.

With so many people, the amount of garbage generated every day is making the air in the city increasingly unpleasant to smell.

Lou Yunsheng had considered dealing with the disaster victims in the city, but his primary task at present was to control the flood and repair the dikes to prevent the flood from causing greater damage.

Therefore, he entrusted all the affairs of the city to Shi Ling. As the city lord of Gushui City, Shi Ling must know Gushui City very well, so Lou Yunsheng felt at ease entrusting the city's affairs to him.

Yu Muhuai's trip this time was different from his previous trips.

She put on a veil.

In the past, Zhong Ci would often wear a veil when going out to conceal her appearance, so Qian Ran was not surprised.

Yu Muhuai and Qian Ran walked on the chaotic and crowded streets, with emaciated disaster victims on both sides.

Although Yu Muhuai was wearing a veil, her and Qian Ran's attire was very conspicuous, and the disaster victims recognized them at a glance as people brought by His Highness Prince Duan.

A few days ago, the handsome and dashing Prince Duan came to the place where the meals were being distributed and made a speech in public, indicating that he would build the dike as soon as possible and restore the people's homes.

These common people rarely even see officials like the city lord Shi Ling, let alone princes like Prince Duan from the capital.

Having such a prince in charge of Gushui City, and even publicly reassuring the people, has indeed put the common folk at ease.

Therefore, when they saw Yu Muhuai and Qian Ran walk by, many people expressed their gratitude.

Some were so emotional that they even knelt down before them, shouting things like "great benefactor" or "great official."

Of course, occasionally he would encounter some beggars who would try to ask Yu Muhuai for something when they saw him coming over.

Yu Muhuai ignored him and didn't even give him a piece of dry food or a copper coin.

It's not mealtime now. If she were to take pity on these people and give alms, it would disrupt the order that the city has worked so hard to establish.

It will also make others who didn't get it feel unbalanced, and they might rush over to grab it, which would cause a chaotic situation that is difficult to quell.

Although Yu Muhuai and Qian Ran were highly skilled, they could not lay a hand on ordinary people in full view of everyone.

Do not overestimate human nature, especially human nature under disaster, which cannot withstand any scrutiny.

Among the people who surrounded them were some children.

Their little faces were covered in dirt, their eyes were cloudy and dull, and they clearly conveyed one message—I am hungry.

Yu Muhuai ignored them and prepared to leave directly.

A daring child reached out and grabbed her dress, leaving a clear handprint on the light blue hem with his dirty hand.

Yu Muhuai stopped in her tracks and looked down at the child.

This is a little girl, about ten years old, thin and small.

Because she was so thin, her eyes appeared very large.

The little girl had a little boy on her back, probably her younger brother, who was about two or three years old and was sleeping in the cloth bag on her back.

Upon meeting Yu Muhuai's gaze, the little girl immediately shrank back, as if she had touched something hot, and quickly withdrew her hand.

For some reason, the older woman's gaze seemed to reach straight to the heart, making me feel a little uneasy.

The children and adults nearby who were still trying to beg also saw Yu Muhuai's gaze.

The oppressive aura and sharp gazes silenced the crowd, preventing them from making any further noise.

Their voices grew softer and softer, and eventually they even made way for Yu Muhuai.
