Chapter 182 Egret Island Refugees



His body was wrapped in gray, blood-stained gauze, which barely stopped the bleeding from the wound.

Some of the blood could not be stopped, and it flowed all the way along the yellow earth, with the gauze hanging wetly on the arm.

They all endured the pain in their wounds and were quiet when they saw Ji Wan coming, for fear that any sound would disgust Ji Wan and make him refuse to take in these refugees who had escaped from Egret Island.

"Excuse me, are you sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhenbei to help us?"

At this time, a young boy who had lost one hand stood up and asked Ji Wan weakly.

"I am the King of Zhenbei. Where are you from?"

As soon as Ji Wan finished speaking, the half-grown child's eyes widened with fear, and he immediately knelt on the ground, enduring the pain in his hands. His movements were so agile that Ji Wan couldn't stop him.

"Long live the King of Zhenbei, long ...

We are from Bailu Island in Qiandao Prefecture. When the earth's dragon came up, our island was also submerged. We were lucky to survive.

Your Highness, please take us in, considering that we are all young and strong!

We will not cause any trouble to His Highness! After we recover from our injuries, we can serve His Highness at your service."

The boy's arm was clearly injured, and he was in great pain as he was leaning on the ground, but he still mustered up the courage to speak to Ji Wan.

Ji Wan sighed and looked around. Seeing the refugees kneeling on the ground with fear on their faces, he thought that they were indeed a group of old, weak and sick people.

"The governor of Qiandao State didn't take you in?"

"Qiandao State...Qiandao State doesn't want refugees like us anymore!" The half-grown boy choked up.

"Why not?" Ji Wan frowned.

"The people of Zhengyang City mistook us for pirates and wouldn't let us in! They also rejected many refugees from the islands outside!"

The boy was called Zhou Jin. In this earthquake, the sea water submerged the entire Egret Island. They were lucky to survive and then they floated to Zhengyang City, the largest land city in Qiandao State, holding on to wooden boards.

But he had never expected the Lord of Zhengyang City to be so ruthless! He wouldn't allow the individual residents living on the nearby islands to take refuge there!

After hearing what the half-grown boy said, the refugees stared at Ji Wan, fearing that if she said a word of disagreement, she would be like the Lord of Zhengyang City and drive them out of Chuzhou, leaving them with no place to stay.

"Get up, take care of the wound on your hand. I will take you in, don't worry."

Ji Wan pursed her lips, somewhat disapproving of the actions of the Lord of Zhengyang City.

I'd heard before that pirates were rampant in the Thousand Islands, but I didn't expect it would make people so wary of their own people...

Really interesting! This person also...

The half-grown boy suddenly raised his head, looked at Ji Wan in surprise and said, "Is what Your Highness said true?"

Ji Wan nodded: "It's true, get up, help the people behind you up, follow me and enter the city."

The group consisted mostly of women, young men and children. Many elderly men had broken arms and legs, or were placed on stretchers and carried by three or four women.

A team of 300 people couldn't even find a single older member of the Qiquan team to take charge. Instead, they had to ask this half-grown child to come and talk to Ji Wan with his injured hand...

It seems that those who survived the earthquake in Kuril Island State were young and middle-aged people with sufficient physical strength.

"Who among you is a doctor?" Ji Wan looked carefully and found that this group of people had traces of using herbal medicine on their bodies.

It makes sense. If there were no doctor among them, it would be impossible for those with missing limbs to walk such a long distance to Chuzhou.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Zhenbei, I am the doctor." The half-grown boy answered subconsciously, looking at Ji Wan curiously, not knowing why she asked that.

Ji Wan nodded and sighed inwardly: "Are you a doctor?"

"Yes, Your Highness... Your Highness, please rest assured. My master is the most powerful doctor in the entire Thousand Islands State, and I am also the most powerful among his disciples. When the time comes, I will definitely be able to do my best to help Your Highness!"

The half-grown child was a little anxious to prove his ability, fearing that Ji Wan would not want them as refugees.

The listeners feel sour in their hearts.

Ji Wan glanced at the boy's wrist, which was tightly wrapped in gauze, and said, "Take good care of your injuries and don't worry. I said I would save you, and I will!"

After entering the range of the teleportation array, Ji Wan said directly to Yang Guan, who had been waiting for a long time beside him: "Go find Mr. He and ask him to treat the injuries of these people in Qiandao State!

Oh, and bring the alcohol and sewing tools!"

Before the earthquake, the research institute of Moxiang Academy had been studying the alcohol and suture operation mentioned by Ji Wan. They pulled Doctor He into the research for a long time before they tested out the method that Ji Wan mentioned to promote rapid wound healing.

Doctor He was the old doctor who took Ji Wan's pulse and treated his leg disease. Doctor He has been working for Ji Wan ever since then.

Moreover, the newly researched treatment method has been tried on people who have experienced earthquakes, and the results are quite good.

There is no need to worry about anything happening when using it on refugees.

It’s a pity that iodine has not been developed yet. Iodine is much less irritating to wounds than alcohol!

Now that all the gentlemen are on vacation, there are only Ji Wan, Pan Zhuo and Yang Guan in the entire Government Affairs Office. Naturally, the task of registering the number of people falls on them.

It took Ji Wan two hours of writing, and his wrists were sore, before he finally finished registering all the people.

Xilingci, who was standing beside Ji Wan, couldn't help but take the paper Ji Wan had written and looked at it carefully for a while when he saw her writing so quickly.

There were many square grids drawn on it, and behind the grids were detailed information of the refugees entering the city.

It is clear at a glance and looks very concise and clear.

"This thing looks very powerful. Was it developed by Fu Guang himself?"

Ji Wan rubbed his sore wrist and shook his head: "I didn't come up with this idea, I just borrowed it from others."

Seeing Xilingci's very happy expression, Ji Wan handed the remaining pieces of paper with grids drawn on them to Xilingci.

"Here, take this, big brother. Give it to father so that he can handle government affairs more easily!"

Xilingci nodded and smiled at Ji Wan: "Father will be happy when he knows this."

The printing technology in this world is not very advanced. Ji Wan thought about it and directly instructed Yang Guan to bring the tools he had used to print documents to Xiling Ci.

Yang Guan looked at Ji Wan and hesitated several times...

Pan Zhuo was sweating profusely. It was the first time he felt that His Highness's background was so troublesome.

Xilingci was a little stunned. After a while, an extremely complicated and very relieved smile gradually appeared on his face.
