I insist

Chapter 79: New Discoveries

The crown prince, who had never heard of anyone being able to shift the blame, frowned as he looked at the woman speaking eloquently before him.

But when he inquired about the details, the owner of those eyes would look up at the sky with a thoughtful or reminiscing expression.

"That person didn't go into details, but only said not to cut down trees indiscriminately afterward, to build high walls with bamboo and mud to block the floodwaters, and then to slowly drain the water through bamboo tubes that had been cleared."

Is that so?

Song Miqiu only remembered the parts she had seen in the news before; the more detailed parts could only be obtained through the system's exchange system.

But this was clearly inappropriate at the time, so he could only speak vaguely, letting people know that he wasn't entirely clear either.

"In that case, why don't you come with me to the dam tomorrow, Divine Physician, to see what differences there are between your drawings and those of that gentleman, and how to make the necessary changes?"

"I've only heard about this from others, and I have no way to help cure it completely. Please don't blame me for being so talkative tomorrow."

Having said all that, the Crown Prince could only nod. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly looked at Yu Huailin sitting in the corner.

Their eyes met, and the one who had been lost in thought for some reason suddenly found himself somewhat stunned when he met the Crown Prince's sharp gaze.

"Why are you staring at His Highness like that? Apologize."

"I was just recalling my lessons and didn't notice for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The other party did not respond; in fact, they looked away, turned around, and left.

The two naturally wouldn't stay there long, so they got up and quickly walked back to Song Miqiu's room.

"Your method is not suitable. Tomorrow, hand this book over to the Crown Prince."

"My approach is inappropriate?"

This is a solution that combines the wisdom of countless people, how could it be unsuitable?

He wanted to harm himself.

Song Miqiu snatched the book from his hand, but without even looking at it, she went back to bed and lay down.

"That wooden plank was too hard. I've finally made it back, so let me rest properly first."

"I can tell you don't trust me and think my methods are harming you."

Ignoring Yu Huailin's words, she turned over and pretended to be asleep.

Seeing Song Miqiu's expression, he didn't bother to expose her and turned to leave the room.

The room returned to silence. She tried to get up but found her body incredibly heavy. In the end, she fell asleep before she could even look at the book in her hand.

Even so, Song Miqiu managed to maintain a sliver of clarity, determined not to allow anyone to threaten her.

Only when the night was deep and quiet, and there was not a sound in the courtyard, did she dare to lower her guard and continue to sleep.

Until dawn, Song Miqiu suddenly woke up and wanted to open it again.

Only after seeing that it was a proper water channel repair project did they continue looking.

However, even with the experience of others, Song Miqiu still felt there were too many problems, and that the excessive use of timber would lead to soil erosion.

After recording everything, I put down the book in my hand and slowly walked out of the room, where I saw the Crown Prince and his entourage already preparing for their departure.

"Your Highness."

"You've come at the perfect time. I was just about to send someone to call you."

Song Miqiu didn't say anything, but nodded obediently and got into the second carriage with the others.

There was still some time before they arrived. Looking at the drowsy crowd, she finally turned her attention to the system.

She almost screamed when she saw the points balance on the screen.

Fortunately, just as he opened his mouth, Yu Huailin, who had been silent all along, suddenly coughed lightly, forcibly bringing him back to his senses.

"What has made Master so excited?"

"It's nothing."

Song Miqiu had no intention of answering. He didn't even look at the other person, instead turning his gaze to the system in an attempt to find out why his points had increased several times over.

After some searching, I finally found out where those points came from.

It turned out that the jade pendant that had been placed earlier was too precious, and others bid for it at an astronomical price.

It was precisely because of this that many people noticed Song Miqiu, and the small items that were originally worthless were sold for good prices.

Upon careful calculation, it turned out that they could barely exchange for over a thousand doses of medicine.

"arrive."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu immediately snapped out of her daze and looked at Yu Huailin again. Seeing that he wasn't looking at her, she was the first to get off the bus.

Upon seeing him emerge immediately, the Crown Prince calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at the people behind him who were continuously blocking the road with various kinds of sand and gravel.

What do you think?

"This does work, but the water level will rise above this point very quickly, and manpower simply cannot keep up with the rate of rise."

The prince nodded, then led Song Miqiu in another direction, where they saw a path with bamboo tubes channeling water in all directions.

These efforts amount to nothing under such a massive volume of water; it's all for nothing.

But Song Miqiu couldn't say that in front of the two people directly involved, so he could only pretend not to see and keep moving forward.

The crown prince did not follow her forward, but instead inquired about the current situation with the other people.

Unaware of this, Song Miqiu continued forward, still pondering how to further improve these dams.

“My method also has problems. If we can’t find a substitute for cement, the mud and bamboo structure will be washed away in no time.”

What are you saying?

Startled by the sudden sound from the side, Song Miqiu jumped back twice.

The next moment, Song Miqiu felt her feet slip and she fell straight down.

"That area isn't finished yet; it's all hollow underneath!"

What are you saying?

When Yu Huailin saw the man turn around and call for help, he didn't think twice and grabbed the rope used for securing himself, jumping in directly.

In the flood, with mud and sand everywhere, he couldn't open his eyes at all. He could only rely on his senses to find the bodies struggling in the water.

But each time they tried to catch someone, the water currents would cause them to drift away again.

In addition, Song Miqiu continued to sink, and soon reached the longest distance of the rope.

Damn it, are we just going to watch her drown here?

Just as his eyes reddened and he was about to loosen the rope to go down and save the person, the figure that had sunk to the bottom of the water swam to his side with ease.

But at this moment, Song Miqiu was exhausted. With difficulty, he patted Yu Huailin's shoulder and then opened his mouth to drink several mouthfuls of floodwater.

He realized this and, without hesitation, pulled hard on the taut rope with his feet and struggled to swim to the surface.

“Pull us up.”

After a flurry of activity, everyone finally managed to pull the two ashore.

Yu Huailin wanted to use his internal energy to force out the floodwater that Song Miqiu had drunk, but he froze on the spot because of the gazes cast by the people next to him.

Fortunately, the person lying on the ground coughed twice and let out a weak gasp.

Help me up.

"Miracle doctor, how are you feeling? Is there anything we can do for you?"

Song Miqiu did not respond, but instead handed over something that was tightly wrapped around her clothes.
