Chapter 186: At the foot of the green mountain, black smoke billows and red light rises into the sky
Mo Liyuan patted Lan Xiyue's back gently, his voice low and full of charm: "What's wrong, Yue'er? Who made you feel wronged?"
Lan Xiyue looked up and pouted, "Mo Liyuan, I love you!"
Mo Liyuan's eyes pierced as he gazed at Lan Xiyue's aggrieved expression, wondering to himself: Could it be that idiotic system forcing Yue'er to rack up points again? He'd observed carefully these past few days, but there weren't any suspicious people around, and Yue'er hadn't interacted with any strangers. Who, exactly, was this system?
Lan Xiyue began to chatter away, racking up points, while Mo Liyuan gently embraced her and sat down beside her. He listened quietly, not interrupting or interrupting.
After a long time, Lan Xiyue finally got tired and stopped talking.
Mo Liyuan hugged her and whispered softly, "Yuer, where did you get so many noodles? I remember the noodles you cooked for me were like this."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyes and blinked: "Uh... I made it. I'm awesome, right?"
Mo Liyuan chuckled and stroked her cheek gently, but he knew in his heart that Yue'er was unwilling to tell him the truth again. Well, he had plenty of patience. If Yue'er didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.
Mo Liyuan frowned again. After a moment of hesitation, he finally took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lan Xiyue: "Yu'er, take a look."
Lan Xiyue muttered, "What?"
When she saw the contents of the letter, her face changed instantly. Mo Liyuan saw this and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Yue'er. I've already asked Yao Lao to check on your brother's leg. Your brother will be fine."
Lan Xiyue lowered her eyes, feeling mixed emotions. What a coincidence, she just got the bone-breaking black jade ointment, and her brother had his legs broken?
The system sounded in her mind: "Host, so don't curse this system in your heart. Products from the system mall must be high-quality."
"Hmph! Okay, I won't curse you in my heart this time." Anyway, she had already cursed him countless times in her heart. He dared to hurt her brother. When she returned, she would see how she would avenge her brother.
Lan Xiyue hugged Mo Liyuan's neck tightly, "Your Highness..."
Mo Liyuan gently covered her lips with his hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "This prince likes Yue'er to call me by my name, or call me Yuan."
Lan Xiyue called softly: "Mo Liyuan~"
Mo Liyuanwen responded in a low voice: "Hmm!"
Because the relief food had not arrived yet, Lan Xiyue pestered Mo Liyuan every day to earn points, which she could exchange for life points and instant noodles in the mall.
A month passed quickly, and the flood in Huilong County finally receded. The once prosperous county town was now completely unrecognizable, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.
Mo Liyuan immediately ordered the soldiers to build houses for the people. With Mo Liyuan's order, several neighboring counties were also very active and brought materials to help Huilong County rebuild.
Before this, Lan Xiyue exchanged a large amount of disinfectant in the mall and disinfected the entire Huilong County.
However, the bodies of the people and animals who died in the flood were swollen from being soaked in water, emitting a suffocating stench.
Lan Xiyue decisively ordered people to transport all the bodies to the foot of Qingshan Mountain, dig two huge deep pits, and bury the bodies of the civilians and animals separately.
This decision was initially met with strong opposition from the people, who did not want the bodies of their loved ones to be burned to ashes.
Lan Xiyue patiently explained to the people: "My fellow villagers, I know you are grieving, but please listen to me. If these bodies are not burned promptly, they will easily breed bacteria and cause an epidemic. By then, I'm afraid even more people will suffer misfortune. We do this so that the deceased can rest in peace, and so that the living can safely survive this disaster."
After hearing this, the people were silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Lan Xiyue's decision with tears in their eyes.
On that day, at the foot of the green mountain, black smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky.
The people gathered around, sobbing as they watched the bodies devoured by the fire. There were their relatives and friends.
It burned for three days until the smoke cleared. The people carried soil, filled the big pit, piled up a high slope of soil, and erected a tombstone.
