Chapter 172 I’ll come to see how you’re recovering in a few days
Lan Xiyue lost her appetite for the chicken drumstick in her hand. "Mo Liyuan, why haven't you come back yet?" With this ruthless system, when will she ever be able to earn enough points? Sigh!
Seeing that the young lady was suddenly in a bad mood, Chuchun asked worriedly, "Miss, is this chicken leg not to your liking?"
Lan Xiyue sighed. She was irritated by the system. "Indeed, I have no appetite."
Chuxia was enjoying her meal, her mouth greasy, and she mumbled, "Miss, although An Er's barbecue skills are not as good as Chuchun's, but in this situation, having something to eat is good enough. We have to make do with it."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue reluctantly finished the chicken leg. It tasted like chewing wax, but she didn't want to waste it. After all, in the current environment, food was really hard to come by.
After barely finishing the chicken leg, Chuchun handed over a handkerchief. Lan Xiyue took it, wiped her hands, and then lay down.
Seeing this, Chuchun and Chuxia retreated tacitly. The young lady was in a bad mood for some reason. Perhaps she was upset seeing these people losing their homes, so they did not disturb her rest.
There were not many tents, and it was raining outside, so Chuchun had to squeeze into another tent with some other people.
The next morning, Lan Xiyue was awakened by the noise outside. She rubbed her aching head and sat up.
Chuchun and Chuxia came in, holding the wild fruits that An Yi had picked. "Miss, are you awake?"
Lan Xiyue rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Chuchun put the wild fruits aside and explained, "The rain has stopped today, and the tents are crowded, so the county magistrate organized the yamen runners to take the lead in cutting down trees and building wooden houses. Seeing this, some young and strong men followed suit."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue nodded slightly and felt a bit favorable towards the county magistrate.
Chu Xia continued, "That's right. These people all praise the great Gu Da from Huilong County as a good man. Not only that, but this Gu Da is also a love-struck man. His wife has been dead for ten years, and he has never remarried and has no children."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Oh? Then you really are a love-struck person."
After cleaning up, Lan Xiyue picked up the wild fruit beside her, wiped it, took a bite, and frowned. It was so sour that her teeth were about to fall out.
"Have you two tasted this wild fruit?"
Chuchun and Chuxia shook their heads. Chuxia said, "Miss, An Yi said he went to a faraway place early in the morning to pick this wild fruit. I saw that you had a poor appetite last night, so I brought it in for you to try."
Lan Xiyue played with the wild fruits, "Haha, you are worthy of being my Spring, so considerate. Not to mention, these wild fruits are quite delicious. Here! There are so many, you can try some too."
Chuchun waved her hands repeatedly, "Miss, I'm not hungry. Since you think this wild fruit is delicious, then you can eat it. You didn't eat much last night!"
"Hey! Just eat it when I tell you to." Lan Xiyue picked up two wild fruits and handed one to each of them.
Chuchun put it in her arms and said, "The food hasn't arrived yet. I'm not hungry now. I'll eat it when I'm hungry."
Lan Xiyue looked at the two girls with a half-smile, "No, we must eat now."
Chuchun and Chuxia looked at each other. What's wrong with the young lady? The way she smiled made them feel a little creepy.
Early Spring and Early Summer had no choice but to take the fruit and take a bite.
Chu Xia quickly spit it out, "Ouch, so sour... so sour."
Lan Xiyue laughed out loud, "Hahahaha... Since I can't enjoy this sour and refreshing taste by myself, I'll naturally let you share the happiness with me!"
Chuchun and Chuxia looked at their young lady with resentment on their faces. Chuxia stamped her feet and said, "Young lady is so mean. She lied to us that it tasted good even though it was so sour."
After teasing the two girls, Lan Xiyue walked out of the tent in a good mood. She saw many people sitting by the road, looking at the flooded Huilong County with sad expressions. Those former homes had now become a vast ocean, and the people's eyes were full of despair and sadness.
The smile on Lan Xiyue's face immediately disappeared. Chuchun and Chuxia followed her out, and they also felt very heavy when they saw this.
The smile on Lan Xiyue's face immediately disappeared. Chuchun and Chuxia followed her out, their hearts heavy. Others who had lost their families looked at Huilong County and cried heartbrokenly.
Chu Xia whispered, "They are so pitiful..."
Lan Xiyue went silently to the tent where the pregnant woman was treated yesterday. When the man saw Lan Xiyue, his eyes lit up. His wife had been crying in pain from her wound all night. He wanted to find his benefactor last night, but he didn't know where she lived. Later, he heard from others that she was the Regent's princess. Her status was so noble, so he didn't dare to look for her in the middle of the night for fear of disturbing her rest.
Unexpectedly, the nobleman came in person early in the morning. The man immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, benefactor, for saving my wife and child."
Lan Xiyue helped him up and said, "That's not necessary. Let me check your wife's wound."
Inside the tent, the pregnant woman lay weakly on the simple bed, her face pale and beads of sweat on her forehead.
"My wife couldn't sleep all night last night. She kept complaining about the pain in her wound. Princess, do you have any way to relieve the pain for my wife?"
Lan Xiyue walked closer, squatted down, and carefully examined her wound. Although the wound had been sutured, the surrounding skin was still red and swollen, obviously showing signs of infection.
"The wound is a little inflamed and needs to be treated again." Lan Xiyue whispered, "Chuchun, prepare some hot water and a clean handkerchief."
Chuchun responded, turned around and walked out. After a while, Chuchun brought hot water and a clean towel.
Lan Xiyue gently cleaned the pregnant woman's wound and applied medicine on it. The pregnant woman gritted her teeth and endured the pain, sweat from her forehead slid down her cheeks.
The man stood aside, his hands clenched, his eyes full of heartache.
After Lan Xiyue finished treating the wound, she stood up and handed the porcelain bottle to the man. "Apply it to her wound once a day. I'll have my maid boil the medicine and bring it over. It can temporarily relieve the pain of her wound. However, you still have to bear it. It will be fine after a few days of healing."
The man nodded, took the porcelain bottle, and said in a choked voice, "My benefactor, I... I really don't know how to repay you."
Lan Xiyue looked at the woman and soothed her, "Rest well and don't let the wound get wet. Ask your husband to change the dressing on time. It will stop hurting in a few days. I'll come back to see how you're recovering."
The pregnant woman nodded weakly, her eyes full of gratitude.
