"Since thatās the case, letās leave him be." Ye Haoxuan glanced at the dozen or so bailiffs behind him, nodded, "You and Si each lead a team and dig street by street, there must be people alive under the rubble."
"Yes!"
He thought for a moment, then called two more people to clear a clean area, and had Xiaobai bring people to send the injured there. This way the doctors wouldnāt have to keep running back and forth, and the saved time could treat more people.
As the sun grew hotter, more people were being dug out, all of whom were injured in some way.
The two doctors simply couldnāt keep up, and the necessary herbs werenāt enough.
Sobs and cries of pain echoed for two or three miles, some from hurt, others from the sorrow of losing loved ones.
By night, these sounds still hadnāt stopped. In the pitch black night, hearing the sobbing was quite terrifying.
And these patients lay on the open ground without even a tent.
At this moment, Li Luru was busy making porridge, having been busy all day without even a meal.
Fortunately, that evening, she and Xiaobai found a warehouse of a wealthy family, took some rice and flour, pots and bowls, and managed to make some porridge.
"Xiaobai, take these to those injured people."
"Alright, Iāll go right away."
Xiaobai hesitated and then said, "Miss Li, our master hasnāt eaten all day either."
"Hmm, Iāll take it to him later."
Hearing this, Xiaobai immediately smiled, and after thinking for a moment, still asked, "Miss Li, where were you last night? Our master thought you were buried in the inn, he was so worried he almost went crazy. You wouldnāt know, in that big night, with the ground shaking, our master was in such a hurry to get us to find tools to dig at the inn."
"Just that little inn, we dug it through two or three times. You didnāt see it, our masterās face looked just like a dye tray, turning black little by little."
"Miss Li, you werenāt in the room, and you left without telling our master, he was so worried about you." He said, almost reproachfully. "Iāve been following him since I was a child, other than the madam and the eldest miss, Iāve never seen our master worry about anyone else like this."
"Uh..."
Li Luru originally thought it was because of the sudden quake, with so many people dead, that he had a gloomy face all day and didnāt respond to her when she talked.
Now hearing Xiaobai say this, she thought carefully, could it be because of her? Because he was worried something happened to her?
After thinking, she took a bowl of porridge herself and went to find Ye Haoxuan.
At this time, Ye Haoxuan was talking with San and the others, so Li Luru had to wait.
However, she didnāt have to wait long, as San and the others soon left.
"Ye Haoxuan, I made porridge, have some to fill your stomach."
"Is this porridge edible? Didnāt you mistake dye for sugar?"
Li Luru thought to herself, considering how worried you were about me last night, Iāll overlook your rude comment.
She managed a smile, "Itās just plain porridge, besides, thereās no white sugar to be had right now. I raided several warehouses to find just this bit of food."
Ye Haoxuan looked at the somewhat deflated silver bowl in his hand, his mouth twitched, "In the face of a natural disaster, gold and silver are less useful than food."
"Ye Haoxuan, I didnāt purposely not tell you last night." Seeing him not ask, Li Luru explained herself, "I was woken by Xiaobai, and when I saw it fly out, I was worried about it, so I followed, and didnāt get a chance to tell you."
