Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Good News
While the rice was slowly cooked into porridge, she prepared the medicinal ingredients to make medicinal porridge. Twenty minutes later, the aroma of porridge filled the small cave.

Duan Yixin opened the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge with a spoon. When she saw that it was already cooked, she added a little salt, stirred it again, and then filled three wooden bowls. Then, she put the prepared medicinal materials into the porridge, added a little water, and let it simmer over low heat.

Seeing Liushiliu coming with a bowl of medicine, Duan Yixin said, “Liushiliu, I cooked enough porridge for everyone. You can bring some for General Lan.”

Liushiliu nodded and said, “Thank you, Miss Duan.”

After saying that, he knelt beside Xuan Ruiquan and wanted to feed him medicine, but Duan Yixin hurriedly stopped him.

“Wait, he can’t drink medicine on an empty stomach. I will feed him the medicinal porridge first and then give him the medicine.” Duan Yixin said as he took the bowl of medicine from Liushiliu’s hand.

Liushiliu looked at his master for a few seconds, nodded, and said, “Then I will trouble Miss Duan to take care of my master.”

Duan Yixin nodded, “Mhm, you should go eat first.”

Five minutes later, the aroma of medicinal herbs spreads around the small cave. Duan Yixin opened the pot’s lid and scooped out the medicinal porridge. She then turned to look at Xuan Ruiquan and found that he was still sleeping.

After thinking about it, Duan Yixin picked him up and let him lean against her. Then she scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed him slowly. Seeing that he could swallow the food, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to feed Xuan Ruiquan.

It takes Duan Yixin more than ten minutes to feed Xuan Ruiquan a bowl of porridge. Putting away the empty bowl, Duan Yixin stretched out her hand to feel for his pulse. After two minutes, she withdrew her finger and fed him the medicine.

After drinking a bowl of porridge and a bowl of medicine, Xuan Ruiquan’s complexion improved slightly. Duan Yixin gently let him lean against the wall, then turned to look at Liushiliu and asked, “Liushiliu, can you help me find something to make a bed? Your master should lie down so that he can have a good rest.”

Liushiliu thought for a while and said, “I will go out and look for it.”

After saying that, Liushiliu activated his lightness skill and disappeared. Sitting by the campfire, Lan Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows when he saw Duan Yixin pulling out a thick blanket from the bamboo basket.

He thought for a moment and said, “Miss Duan, you seem to have everything in your bamboo basket.”

Duan Yixin was not afraid of Lan Zhuoyu’s prying and said calmly, “Yes. When I went to stay at a friend’s house, I put everything in this bamboo basket. I don’t have much, but I have all the daily necessities.”

Seeing that she was very calm when answering his questions, Lan Zhuoyu lost interest and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Duan Yixin turned around and saw him looking at her with interest. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, she shook her head and said, “No need. General Lan should get some rest. Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

After saying that, Duan Yixin continued to be busy. Before Lan Zhuoyu could ask more questions, Liushiliu came back with a bunch of grass. He put the grass on the ground and said, “I cut some grass, but they are wet. Can we use them?”

Duan Yixin looked at the wet grass, thought for a moment, and said, “Let’s dry them first. Otherwise, the cover will get wet, and no one will be able to sleep on the bed.”

After listening to her words, Liushiliu nodded and said, “Then I would gather more grass so we could make more beds.”

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Lan Zhuoyu stood up and helped Duan Yixin spread the grass to let it dry. While the three of them were making the beds, Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou were chatting with Tang Sanniu and the elders in the village hall.

Sitting at the round table, Chi Junheng asked, “Village Chief, you invited me here– Do you have something important to tell me?”

Tang Sanniu nodded and said, “Yes. Several villagers went outside to check the situation before coming back. They said the water level was lower than before, and they saw a group of soldiers rescuing people in the flooded villages.”

Chi Junheng heard this and said, “This is good news.”

After saying this, he looked at Tang Sanniu and the elders and saw their worried expressions.

“It seems that you have other worries.” He said calmly.

Tang Sanniu nodded, “The news that the floods have receded is good news, but the appearance of the soldiers is probably not good news.”

When Chi Junheng heard Tang Sanniu’s words, his eyes flickered, and he asked, “Village Chief, why did you say that?”

Tang Sanniu exchanged glances with the elders and replied, “The villagers who went to check the situation saw that after the soldiers rescued the victims, they were taken away by the soldiers. As for where they were going, the villagers didn’t know.”

Chi Junheng listened calmly to Tang Sanniu’s explanation and fell into deep thought. The latest news he got from the imperial capital was about what happened at the imperial banquet to welcome Xie Guogong. Judging from what Emperor Yong’an did to Duan Qinwang, it seems that his suspicion of Duan Qinwang’s rebellion was firmly established.

Thinking of this, Chi Junheng suddenly remembered that the ruler of Qian Shan County was Li Junwang, the second son of Duan Qinwang. If Duan Qinwang really wants to rebel, then Chi Junheng is sure that Li Junwang will help his father without question.

In this case, if those victims whom the soldiers rescued fell into the hands of Li Junwang, they would probably end badly.
