Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: It Is Too Late
Duan Yixin looked at Chi Xinru’s frowning face and said, “We can only hope that the rain will stop soon. Otherwise, we will not only have to face floods, but we may also need to prepare for the plague.”

After Duan Yixin finished speaking, Chi Xinru’s heart sank. Although she had only learned medical skills from Grandpa Duan for a few weeks, Chi Xinru knew that the terrible thing was not the flood but the plague that followed after the flood.

Duan Yixin saw Chi Xinru’s gloomy expression, walked to the wooden table, and sat on the wooden stool. She took out two steamed buns from the bamboo basket, handed one to Chi Xinru, and said, “There is no use worrying about things that haven’t happened yet.”

Chi Xinru looked at the steamed bun in Duan Yixin’s hand for a moment and then took it. She nodded and said, “Xin Xin, you are right. There is no use worrying about things that have not happened yet.”

Seeing Chi Xinru’s mood had improved, Duan Yixin smiled and ate her dinner. After Duan Yixin drank a bowl of ginger water and ate two steamed buns, they went to the kitchen to help Madam Chi make steamed buns and pancakes.

At the same time, Chi Xiyou and his friends were busy moving the hydroponic shelves from Duan Yixin’s home to a wooden building. When they finally put the two hydroponic shelves in a wooden building, Huang Yuhe wiped the water from his face and asked curiously, “Xiyou, did you make these two strange shelves?”

Chi Xiyou remembered his promise to Duan Yixin not to let others know that she invented the hydroponic system and said, “Yes.”

After Chi Xiyou finished speaking, a man who was standing behind him looked at him thoughtfully and asked, “If you made these shelves, why would you put them in Xin Niang’s house instead of your house?”

Chi Xiyou turned to look at the man, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, “Qingyang, don’t you know that my father doesn’t like me doing farm work? If he caught me doing farm work behind his back, he would break my legs.”

Shi Qingyang couldn’t help but shudder when he thought about Chi Junheng’s angry look. He patted Chi Xiyou on the shoulder and sighed, “Brother, you have suffered.”

After speaking, Shi Qingyang looked around the inside of the wooden building and said, “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect that Xin Niang could actually make money and build many wooden buildings. Grandpa Duan’s granddaughter is indeed different from ordinary women.”

Chi Xiyou heard the admiration in Shi Qingyang’s voice. He snorted coldly and said, “You’d better not have any bad thoughts about Xin Xin. Otherwise, I won’t treat you as a brother and beat you.”

Hearing Chi Xiyou’s warning, Shi Qingyang rolled his eyes and said, “You don’t want to marry her, and you won’t let others marry her. Xiyou, don’t you think you are hindering Xin Niang’s future happiness? Instead of letting her marry a wild man, why don’t you help me? Anyway, we grew up together, and you know my character. I won’t treat her badly.”

Chi Xiyou knows Grandpa Duan’s and Duan Yixin’s secret backgrounds, which no one except his family does. Just based on Grandpa Duan’s medical skills, even those young masters from noble families are not worthy of Duan Yixin, let alone a villager.

Chi Xiyou shook his head, glanced at Shi Qingyang, and said, “Since I understand your character, I won’t let you get close to her. You just have to know that she is not someone you can marry.”

Before Shi Qingyang could protest and ask for his explanation, Chi Xiyou opened the door and said, “The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I’m going to see what’s going on outside.”

After saying that, he left the wooden building. Shi Qingyang, Lian Jingzhun, and Huang Yuhe looked at each other before they quickly followed Chi Xiyou.

When the three of them catch up with Chi Xiyou, they see Chi Xiyou talking to Sun Chen. Seeing Sun Chen’s anxious look, the three of them exchanged curious looks and then walked up to Sun Chen and Chi Xiyou.

“Chi Dalang, do you want to go out and see what’s going on outside?” Sun Chen asked.

Chi Xiyou nodded and replied, “Yes. I plan to go to other villages to check the situation. If the situation is really bad, we may need to leave Yunshan Village before it’s too late. Otherwise, we might be trapped in the village and unable to leave even if we wanted to.”

After speaking, Chi Xiyou looked at Sun Chen’s anxious looks and asked, “What’s wrong? Sun Dalang, do you want to join us?”

Sun Chen clenched his hands and hesitated to speak. Noticing his hesitation, Chi Xiyou said, “Sun Dalang, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

After hearing this, Sun Chen finally said, “My wife’s natal family lives in Beilu Village. I don’t know if they are safe or not. I couldn’t leave my wife alone since she was still in the early stages of pregnancy, and my father was too old to go out to check on the Xue family. I wonder if Chi Dalang can help me check on them.”

When Shi Qingyang, Lian Jingzhun, and Huang Yuhe came, they all frowned when they heard this. The rain was getting heavier, and it was really dangerous to go out looking for people. As villagers living in the same village, they should help each other, but not at the expense of their own safety.

Seeing Chi Xiyou thinking about Sun Chen’s words, Shi Qingyang said, “Sun Dalang, Beilu Village’s location is the lowest among all the villages under the jurisdiction of Chun Shan Township. It is too dangerous to go there now. I also heard that the river embankments around Beilu Village had burst this morning. I’m afraid it is too late to go to Beilu Village now.”
