I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 886 His White Moonlight 19
Just as Yu Muhuai was about to roll over and get down, he heard Lou Yunsheng's voice.

"I'll take a walk; you may continue."

Since His Highness Prince Duan had spoken, the group had no choice but to continue riding slowly and following behind.

At this time, most of the shops on both sides of the street were not open, because many of their goods had been soaked in water.

However, many of the shops were open.

Some doors were damaged by water and couldn't be closed properly, while others were used to house refugees from outside the area. Since there were many people inside, the doors were simply left open for ventilation.

Fortunately, several granaries were built in Gushui City, two of which were located on higher ground and were not affected by the flood.

Even if these two granaries were opened and food distributed, it would only be a very difficult task to sustain the survival of so many people.

With the continuous influx of disaster victims, the food supply in Gushui City is running low.

"Thanks to His Highness Prince Duan's timely arrival, the people of Gushui City were saved from danger!" As Shi Ling spoke, his eyes reddened, and he wanted to kneel down.

Lou Yunsheng quickly helped Shi Ling up, preventing him from kneeling.

"Lord Shi, you flatter me. This is all I should do."

He stared straight at Shi Ling, his expression solemn and sincere.

Upon seeing this, Shi Ling, who had been holding back her tears, suddenly burst forth.

He had been struggling here for far too long. The nearest prefecture, Guanglin, was wealthy, but it refused to help him. Finally, reinforcements arrived, and he was naturally moved to tears.
So a grown man in his forties stood on the street and started wiping away tears.

Lou Yunsheng:
No, if you do that, people will think I'm bullying you.
Shi Ling quickly composed himself, bowed to Lou Yunsheng, and said.

"Your Highness, I have lost my composure."

"It's alright." Lou Yunsheng waved his hand.

Many people stopped to watch when they saw this group of people entering the city.

People on both sides of the street came out to watch after hearing the news, and the crowd on the roadside grew larger and larger.

"Are they high-ranking officials? Are they high-ranking officials who came to rescue us?"

"I've never seen such a good-looking person, nor such nice clothes. They must be a high-ranking official."

"Are the things in those cars... are they food? I'm so hungry. My mother is still sick. If... if there's enough food, maybe my mother will get better soon."

"I'm hungry too. I want to eat steamed buns, and wild vegetable pancakes, and more."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, the more you talk, the hungrier I get."

"Waaah, the big official is here! Can I go home now? My house was destroyed by the flood, can I still go back?"

"My father, my mother, my uncles and aunts, my grandparents, they all drowned. I have no home anymore, I have no home anymore."

"."

The intermittent sounds of conversations among the locals could be heard from the roadside, some of which reached Lou Yunsheng and his entourage, moving them deeply.

Yuwen Xue, who had kept the carriage curtains down the entire way, suddenly took the initiative to lift them open.

Because of the hardship of the long journey, her pretty little face was now very pale, and her lips were bloodless.

After entering Valley Water City, the carriage slowed down.

Yuwen Xue, sitting in the carriage, looked at the crowds of disaster victims huddled together along the way. She frowned, a look of pity on her face.

She was well protected from a young age and had almost never seen such a sight.

She was a little princess who had never experienced the hardships of life.

In the more than ten years since she was born, the biggest setback she has ever encountered in her life was Lou Yunsheng.

Those emotional entanglements and grudges, those loves and hates, were things she used to consider incredibly important. It seemed that if Lou Yunsheng didn't love her, her life would be meaningless. But now, compared to these disaster victims struggling to survive, they were nothing.

These people were covered in filth, starving, and poorly clothed.

They cautiously observed Lou Yunsheng and his glamorous figures, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes, which had long been clouded by despair.

Looking into those simple, honest eyes, Yuwen Xue could see their yearning for life.

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Yuwen Xue quickly turned her head away, her body facing forward, unable to bear to look any longer.

She worried that if she continued watching, she might not be able to hold back her tears.

Cuizhi noticed the change in her mistress and very sensibly handed her a handkerchief.

Yuwen Xue took the handkerchief, rubbed her eyes, and suppressed the urge to cry.

She came to help Lou Yunsheng with disaster relief, so why was she crying as soon as she entered Gushui City?

Seeing that her master was suffering, Cuizhi hesitated as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she simply shut her mouth and remained silent.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she might accidentally say the wrong thing and upset her master even more.

On the other side, Yu Muhuai sat upright on his horse, holding the reins, his pace slow and steady.

She looked at everything before her with a calm expression, neither happy nor sad.

She had seen far worse scenes than this, so she wasn't particularly moved.

Moreover, Zhong Ci had seen many such scenes in her previous life, so Yu Muhuai was not surprised.

With their own thoughts in mind, the group crossed the street and arrived at Shi Ling's mansion.

As before, the main group stayed outside, while Lou Yunsheng and the others moved into Shi Ling's residence.

In stark contrast to Zhang Chengdong's magnificent mansion, Shi Ling's mansion was a dilapidated old building.

This mansion has remained unchanged for over a decade, with only regular maintenance and no extra renovations.

However, due to the mansion's location, it survived the flood and remains habitable.

Shi Ling had previously taken in some disaster victims, but in order to make room for Lou Yunsheng and others, he arranged for them to stay elsewhere.

Therefore, when Lou Yunsheng and his group arrived, the courtyard and rooms were still in a mess, clearly indicating that someone had lived there.

Shi Ling explained apologetically, "Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness."

The disaster victims who were temporarily staying at my residence were all moved out yesterday. I was out directing disaster relief efforts yesterday and did not return to the residence last night, so I am unaware of the situation here.

I quickly tidied up this morning, but it still didn't work.

“Lord Shi, there’s no need for such formalities,” Lou Yunsheng interrupted Shi Ling’s apology, saying nonchalantly, “It’s good enough to have a place to stay.”

"I have brought this delegation not for sightseeing, but for disaster relief and flood control. These details of daily life need not be of great concern."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ling breathed a sigh of relief and held Lou Yunsheng in higher regard.

He had heard of Lou Yunsheng, the Prince of Duan, before, but had never actually met him.

No amount of rumors can compare to meeting in person.

This Prince Duan is much easier to get along with than the rumors suggest.

However, these were all irrelevant matters. Shi Ling quickly put aside these unnecessary thoughts and made arrangements for Lou Yunsheng and the others.
