Chapter 891 His White Moonlight 24
Qianran:
Wait, Ah Ci, when did you become so ruthless? You can scare people like this with just one look?

Is this some kind of profound skill from that martial arts manual you mentioned?

Killing with your eyes?
Qian Ran frowned in thought, growing increasingly curious about the martial arts manual that Yu Muhuai had fabricated.

Just as Yu Muhuai was about to continue walking straight ahead, he suddenly heard a series of rapid coughs coming from the side.

Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw that the one coughing was the little girl who had just grabbed her dress.

Yu Muhuai frowned, turned around and walked over.

The little girl was coughing with her head down and covering her mouth when she suddenly felt the light in front of her dim.

She looked up and saw that the scary older sister from before had turned back and was standing in front of her, her shadow enveloping her.

The little girl's expression immediately turned terrified.

She thought her older sister was punishing her because her dress was dirty.

So the little girl immediately imitated how she had acted when she met the high-ranking official, and knelt down with a "plop," apologizing in a panic.

"Big sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have touched you. I'm sorry. I don't have money to pay for it, but I can wash it clean."

As she spoke, the little girl coughed again because she was too emotional.

Yu Muhuai's brows furrowed even more.

She crouched down and reached out to touch the little girl's forehead.

very hot.

The little girl instinctively tried to struggle, but Yu Muhuai pressed down on the back of her head with his other hand.

The little girl was surprised to find that this older sister, who looked thin, was incredibly strong, and she was completely unable to resist her.

But the other person's hand was slightly cool, and she felt very comfortable.

Actually, the little girl had been feeling a headache for the past two days, coughed from time to time, and felt dizzy.

She thought she would get better soon, but it got worse than she expected.

But compared to hunger, this was nothing. Besides, she had a younger brother to take care of, so she said nothing and told no one else.

Just as the little girl was stunned, she heard the older girl's clear, cold voice.

"what's your name?"

The little girl lowered her head timidly, not daring to look up at the other person, and answered softly, "I... my name is Xiao Rong."

Qianran: Didn't you realize she's really afraid of you?
Seeing the high-ranking official from the capital squatting by the roadside questioning a little girl, many people, full of curiosity, gathered around.

Some people were already whispering among themselves, speculating about Yu Muhuai's purpose in doing this.

Yu Muhuai ignored the onlookers and continued to ask questions.

"Xiao Rong, when did you start coughing?"

Xiao Rong tilted her head, thought carefully for a moment, and then replied, "It seems like it was two or three days ago."

Yu Muhuai continued, "Is anyone around you coughing?"

Only then did Xiao Rong dare to raise her head and look at Yu Muhuai, then timidly nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

Yu Muhuai's expression turned serious: "Who is it?"

"Yes, it's my mother, and the uncles and aunts in the house."

Yu Muhuai nodded, stood up, and then said to Xiao Rong, "Take me to see where you live."

"Huh?" Xiao Rong looked completely bewildered.

Xiao Rong didn't understand what was going on, but she still obediently led Yu Muhuai to her temporary residence.

On the way back, Xiao Rong woke up.

She woke up crying, and Xiao Rong took out a small piece of cornbread from her little bundle.

Because her younger brother was still small and couldn't eat anything too hard, she carefully broke the food into small pieces, then kneaded them into finer crumbs before feeding them to him little by little. When Xiao Rong stopped, Yu Muhuai also stopped and waited patiently beside her.

Xiao Rong was placed in an ordinary bungalow in a residential area.

This small house houses at least forty or fifty people.

Before even entering the house, Yu Muhuai could hear bursts of coughing coming from inside.

It's clearly not just one person.

Qian Ran, who was standing to the side, was about to step inside when Yu Muhuai stopped her.

She handed Qianran a handkerchief and said, "Put this on and cover your mouth and nose."

Qianran didn't understand, but she still took the handkerchief and did as Yu Muhuai said.

Yu Muhuai also took out a handkerchief, and after making double protection, he went into the house.

Although it was daytime, the doors and windows were all locked because the weather was getting colder and the disaster victims didn't have enough clothes.

The air pollution level inside the house is many times worse than outside.

The first thing Yu Muhuai did upon entering the house was to open all the windows.

Some people tried to stop them, but they were all intimidated by Yu Muhuai's gaze.

Qianran also helped her, and they quickly opened all the doors and windows of the house.

As the cold wind blew in from outside, the disaster victims inside shivered.

However, the air quality has indeed improved somewhat.

Led by Xiao Rong, Yu Muhuai quickly arrived at a makeshift bed.

It was called a bed, but it was actually just a wooden plank covered with some thatch, and Xiao Rong's mother lay down directly on the sparse thatch.

On his way here, Yu Muhuai learned about Xiao Rong's family situation from her.

They were farmers living nearby. Xiao Rong's father, uncle, and aunt were all swept away in the flood and tragically lost their lives.

The younger brother she's carrying on her back is her uncle's son.

Afterwards, she, her mother, and her younger brother arrived in Gushui City, where they found a place to stay and temporarily settled down.

Xiao Rong's family was one of the first disaster victims to arrive. Her mother used to go out every day to help as much as possible.

But about ten days ago, her mother began to feel unwell.

At first, Xiao Rong's mother didn't care much and continued to go out.

Until three days ago, she began to feel dizzy and vomit, and her limbs were weak. Even walking normally became a problem, so she had to lie on the bed.

Since her mother fell ill, the burden of taking care of the family has fallen on Xiao Rong's shoulders.

Her younger brother is still small, so she has to take him out to find food during the day.

But she was young and could only carry a limited amount of things, so one trip wasn't enough, and she had to run out repeatedly.

Especially in the last two days, Xiao Rong has started coughing for some reason, and she also feels dizzy and lightheaded from time to time.

Yu Muhuai frowned after listening to Xiao Rong and her mother's account, and then asked the people around him who were coughing. He found that their symptoms and onset were similar.

She looked at Xiao Rong's mother and asked again.

"Ten days ago, in the one or two days before you started to feel unwell, where did you go and who did you come into contact with? Tell me."

Xiao Rong's mother looked completely bewildered.

She felt dizzy and couldn't possibly remember what happened ten days ago.
But Yu Muhuai persisted, continuing to press for answers.

To help Xiao Rong's mother regain her strength and remember things sooner, Yu Muhuai took out the dry rations he carried with him.
