Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: The Refugee Camp (1)
Chi Xiyou shook his head and said, “We doubt the local magistrate would do that.”

“Elder Brother Xiyou, what do you mean by this?” Duan Yixin asked.

Chi Xiyou and Xuan Ruiquan looked at each other, and then Xuan Ruiquan said, “After our investigation, Young Master Chi and I both believe that the local magistrate may have been killed, but the murderer made it seem like he had fled and abandoned the common people to stir up the refugees to riot.”

As soon as he said this, both Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru were surprised. They looked at each other, then looked at Xuan Ruiquan and Chi Xiyou. Duan Yixin looked at their solemn expressions and asked, “General Xuan, do you know who is behind all this?”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and replied, “I suspect that Li Junwang is the mastermind behind this case.”

Hearing that it was Li Junwang again, Chi Xinru asked, “Since you doubt him, shouldn’t we go find Li Junwang and find out the truth?”

Xuan Ruiquan shook his head, “We have no evidence. Doing this will only alarm the enemy.”

“Then what should we do? Without the help of the government, it will be difficult for us to help the refugees.” Chi Xinru asked again in frustration.

Seeing that Duan Yixin was silent, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “Xin’er, what are you thinking about?”

Duan Yixin raised her eyes and said, “Although the local magistrate is no longer here, we can try to get the refugees to help us. Those who are still healthy can help through work, and we may find people with medical skills among them. After all, the refugees come from different places, and it is not surprising that some of them are physicians.”

The other three’s eyes lit up after hearing her words. Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “Xin Xin’s idea is good. Since those who are sick are refugees, helping us is equivalent to helping themselves.”

Chi Xinru frowned and asked, “What about the medicine?”

Without waiting for Duan Yixin to answer, Xuan Ruiquan said, “I will contact the government and request support for medicines and supplies. After the chief physician of the Jin Yi Army arrives, Xin’er can work with him to find the cure for the plague. As for other things, leave it to me. Young Master Chi and Miss Chi should stay with Xin’er while I’m away to arrange these matters.”

Duan Yixin, Chi Xiyou, and Chi Xinru had no objections to his arrangement and nodded in agreement. After making a plan, the four of them had a simple breakfast.

Before leaving the inn, Duan Yixin handed over the simple mask she had made before and said, “Put this mask on and don’t take it off.”

After that, she distributed small leather bags and said, “I have prepared some medicine, disinfectant, water, and food inside the bag. Be sure to clean your hands or body with disinfectant after coming into contact with refugees.”

Although they didn’t quite know what disinfectant was, Xuan Ruiquan and the Chi siblings nodded and tied the small leather bags around their waists. While Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru were studying how to use the medicines and disinfectants, Xuan Ruiquan pulled Duan Yixin aside.

He handed her a dagger, some signal flares, and a small bamboo whistle. Seeing the things stuffed in her hands, Duan Yixin looked at Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “Why did you give me these?”

Xuan Ruiquan held her hands tightly and said, “I’m very worried about letting you go to the refugee camp today. This dagger is very sharp and easy to use. You must be careful when using it in the future. Remember, aim at the target’s neck or heart.”

After that, he pointed at the signal flares and said, “When you are in danger, pull the rope and shoot into the sky. I will see it and come to you as soon as possible. If there are Jin Yi Army soldiers nearby, they will also come to support you.”

Duan Yixin nodded, took the small bamboo whistle, and asked, “What is the use of this whistle?”

“It can summon my black raven. Use it to send me an urgent message.” Xuan Ruiquan explained.

Duan Yixin put the things into her small leather bag and said, “I understand.”

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Ruiquan took off his necklace and put it around Duan Yixin’s neck.

“Never take off this necklace. When the Jin Yi Army soldiers see it, they will know that you are my people.”

After he said that, Duan Yixin grabbed the necklace and said, “You should also be careful.”

“I know.”

After the two talked for a moment, they went to the Chi siblings. Seeing them coming, Chi Xinru asked Duan Yixin, “Xin Xin, are you ready?”

Duan Yixin nodded, “Yes. We can leave now.”

After coming out of the inn, Duan Yixin and others boarded the horse carriage. Chi Xiyou then drove to the refugee camp on the outskirts of Hua Shan Town while Xuan Ruiquan got on his horse and left the inn.

The sky was bright when they arrived in the refugee camp. As soon as the carriage stopped not far from the refugee camp, Chi Xiyou saw a group of children rushing toward them.

Chi Xiyou quickly got down from the driver’s seat and shooed the children away to prevent them from surrounding the carriage. When Duan Yixin came down with the help of Chi Xinru, she saw this scene.

After Chi Xiyou came back, Chi Xinru asked, “Elder Brother, what happened just now?”

Chi Xiyou shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. Those children suddenly rushed toward us, and I drove them away to prevent them from surrounding us.”

Hearing this, Chi Xinru turned to look at Duan Yixin and asked, “Xin Xin, are you sure you want to go to the refugee camp? The situation seems to be worse than we expected.”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “Even if it’s dangerous, we still have to go in. Otherwise, I would have no way of knowing what kind of plague it is and how to deal with it.”
