“That’s right, that’s right. In the past, no one cared about poor people like us. The Protectorate General’s Residence is really good now. I really hope that you can stay here forever.”

“Pfft, what are you talking about? Commander w.a.n.g is a n.o.ble. How can a n.o.ble live in such a place? We just have to remember her kindness at this moment.”

Ah Yu only listened to what these people said.

She knew that some people were deliberately telling her this because they wanted to get more free medicine.

Of course, some people were sincerely grateful.

After more than two months, Ah Yu had long understood the current situation in Jiangsai City. This was not only a problem of water shortage.

Banditry was one type of problem, and the chaos in Jiangsai City was a huge problem.

In addition, most of the people here were ignorant and unreasonable. There was almost no trust between people. Even their closest relatives might stab each other in the back for a bite of food.

Most of the children here did not have a complete family. Their fathers were either missing or their parents had died. Beggars and starving people could be seen everywhere.

A case of cold might take the lives of an entire family.

In fact, there were even people who were extremely hungry in the middle of the night. They ate children, ate the elderly, and killed the people beside them to cook.

Logically speaking, at this rate, the population here would decrease sharply.

However, that was not the case. Although the population of Jiangsai City could not compare to a busy big city, it was higher than an ordinary small city.

Because the government here was useless, there were no taxes, and bullies would not target those poor families.

Some people who could not survive would also choose to come to Jiangsai City to take a gamble. Perhaps they could struggle and survive for a few more years.

There were also fugitives and escaped slaves who treated this place as a place of refuge.

All sorts of people lived together, morals collapsed, and order was messy. It was a place filled with chaos and despair.

Therefore, Ah Yu would not sympathize with anyone here casually, but she still planned to try to change this place.

For example, occasionally saving some injured people was only the first step on an experimental basis. It was only to barely build up the authority of the government among the people.

Fortunately, with King Xiaoyao’s iron-blooded methods and the incorporation of City Lord Wan and his subordinates, the chaotic situation at first could barely be suppressed.

She was not proficient in medicine, and she did not intend to use the spiritual spring water on these people casually for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, she missed Big Sister Liang Xue very much. If she was here, she would definitely be able to deal with it better.

After all, there were specializations in various fields.

She had once given w.a.n.g Wulang some concentrated water and asked him to find an opportunity to pour it into the river in Jiangsai City.

After that, w.a.n.g Wulang returned all the water to her and let her decide how to deal with it.

Ah Yu did not intend to pour it into the river because she wanted to investigate the reason why the river water was so dirty.

In addition, the clear underground river in the collapsed underground palace also caught Ah Yu’s attention.

However, the collapse was too sudden at that time, so she could only ask Meatball to help cover it when no one was paying attention and throw in two bottles of condensed purified spirit spring water.

After so long, it should be effective.

“Miss Ah Yu.” As she was thinking, she heard Chi Gou’s voice.

Ah Yu took a look and saw that Chi Gou was carrying a package. She finished her work and brought Chi Gou to the back office.

When Chi Gou opened the item, Ah Yu saw that it was actually a wooden hairpin.

“What’s this?”

“This is the Chinese Valentine’s Day gift that Young Master asked Phantom to send over. It happened to arrive today,” Chi Gou said.

Phantom was the cliff eagle that the Empress Dowager had lent Ah Yu back then. Now, it is called Phantom. It would occasionally help transport some important things.

Ah Yu had once asked it to send the detailed news of Jiangsai City to Wanning City and bring back the Empress’s opinion.

It was the Empress’s suggestion to maintain the public order in Jiangsai and enlighten the people.

However, it was only a suggestion. She told her to focus on her own safety.

Ah Yu picked up the wooden hairpin and felt its weight. It did not seem to be made of wood.

“Young Master knows that there are all kinds of people in Jiangsai. If you wear gold and silver jewelry, I’m afraid you’ll attract the attention of the thieves. Although we can protect you, they’re still annoying, so we specially made this fake wooden hairpin. It contains ten poisonous golden needles. If necessary, you can activate the mechanism inside.”

Ah Yu stroked it with her hand and really felt something abnormal on the petals. She recalled that she had once studied some small machines with Qin Huai. This was also made using the method they had studied.

She couldn’t help but sigh.

She was a little homesick.

The feeling of leaving one’s hometown was indeed not that wonderful.

However, at the thought that she was learning to be an adult, she felt motivated again.

“Big Sister Chi Gou, please help me put it on. My hands are dirty.”

“Okay.”

After putting it on, Chi Gou took out three more bottles and said to All Yu, “This is the water I picked from the moat, Qianjiang, and Liuxi. Take a look.”

These three places were all water sources surrounding Jiangsai City. They seemed to come from the same source, but the water quality was different.

In short, they all emitted a stench.

Ah Yu poured the three bottles of water into the white porcelain cup to observe. After a while, she frowned.

“The water in Qianjiang doesn’t smell much anymore, but the water in Liuxi has become even more smelly. The water in the moat hasn’t changed much.” Ah Yu pondered. “Could it be that the water in the underground palace connects to Qianjiang? Then what’s going on with the water in Liuxi?”

It seemed that she had to investigate the water quality carefully.

“Big Sister Chi Gou, I’ll have to trouble you to find some experts who know how to swim. Try your best to find someone we can trust. I need their help to dive into the water bodies to take a look.”

Previously, she had never given this order because she did not want to take this drastic step. The water was corrosive and there were unimown parasites inside. It was extremely dangerous.

But now, she had no choice but to do so.

“Yes.”

After Chi Gou went out, All Yu’s voice became soft. “Elf

[? What do you want now?]

“Is there any kind of protective equipment that can allow people to avoid danger underwater? The kind that the person using it can’t sense.”

[Can ordinary ones do? The ones that can’t be sensed are super expensive!]

“Elf, you’re the best ~”

Meatbail: […]

Soon, the Origin s.p.a.ce that had been quiet for a long time suddenly received a message from Meatball.

[Have you prepared what my kid wants?]

[If this matter is done well, it will be a huge merit. Remember to give a discount!]

[The kind with comminuted fractures!]
