My Kid Can Read Minds, and Now the Evil Stepmom's in My Grip

Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...

Chapter 59: The Village is Sealed and No Medicine is Available

"It's Miss Jiang, but what's the matter?"

Jiang Xueying didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Doctor Li, let's not waste any more time. I accidentally found a prescription that seems to be useful for treating this illness. I have already used the medicine in this prescription on Aunt Liu who lives in my house and is sick. Her symptoms have obviously eased a lot. I think this prescription should have some effect. Do you want to try it?"

When Doctor Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time.

Jiang Xueying called out several times, "Doctor Li, Doctor Li?"

Why are you suddenly confused?

Was it because he was too happy, or did she scare him?

Doctor Li was finally called back to his senses by Jiang Xueying. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. He looked dazed and seemed to have not yet reacted, but he already understood what Jiang Xueying said.

He looked at Jiang Xueying with great excitement and caution, and he couldn't believe what he heard. He had studied this disease for so many days without any results, and Jiang Xueying actually had a prescription?

"Is this... is this true, Jiang Meizi? Are you kidding me? Is there really a prescription that can cure this disease? Is it really... useful?"

Doctor Li was so excited that he was incoherent. He was overjoyed and thought that there is always a way out.

Jiang Xueying shook her head speechlessly, "Of course it's true, Doctor Li, I know this is big news, but there's no need for you to react so strongly."

Doctor Li glanced at her disapprovingly. "What are you saying? How many people in the village have died of illness? How can I not be anxious? I have been so anxious these past few days that I have lost my appetite and sleep. If there really is a prescription, then all the people in the village, no, all the people in the world, can be saved!"

Jiang Xueying just smiled and didn't say anything. Perhaps she had experienced too much and was more rational in looking at things. She knew that this was a good thing and she just did it, but she didn't have any extra feelings.

However, it is also a good thing for the people that Doctor Li has such a compassionate heart.

Jiang Xueying immediately handed him the prescription, "Doctor Li, this is the prescription for treating the disease."

Doctor Li took it excitedly and studied it carefully.

After a while, he touched his stiff neck, his eyes shining, and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, although I don't know if the prescription is really effective, the herbs above are indeed effective in clearing away heat and detoxifying, and some of them are very cleverly combined, which may really have unexpected effects. Sister Jiang, if you don't mind, can you let me go to your house to see Aunt Liu's condition? Of course, I don't disbelieve you..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Xueying understood what he meant and interrupted him.

"Of course, Dr. Li should be rigorous in his work. I only have a preliminary understanding of the symptoms of other patients. Maybe they are different from Aunt Liu's symptoms. It would be better for you to go and see them. Dr. Li, please follow me."

Doctor Li quickly followed Jiang Xueying to her home and carefully examined Aunt Liu's condition.

After the inspection, he looked at the remaining medicine residue with a smile on his face, his eyes and brows full of pride and joy.

"Not bad, not bad. Looking at Aunt Liu's condition, it seems that she has indeed recovered a lot. If she continues like this, she will be able to recover after a period of recuperation. Sister Jiang, you have done a great deed this time. You are the benefactor of the whole village."

Jiang Xueying responded modestly, "Dr. Li, you are too kind."

But she had no intention of hiding anything. After all, if the villagers owed her a favor, it would be easier for her to do things in the future.

"Without further delay, let's quickly tell the village chief the good news. If there is anything we need, he can help organize it."

Doctor Li suggested informing the village chief immediately. After all, there were still many things that needed the village chief's approval and help.

Jiang Xueying naturally had no objection, and the two of them went to find the village chief and told him about their discovery of the prescription.

The village chief was naturally overjoyed when he heard about it, "Really?"

During this period, he was so worried about the infectious disease in the village that his hair fell out, but he didn't expect that things would turn around.

The village chief took the prescription. Although he didn't understand it, he knew from Doctor Li's affirmation that the medicine would definitely be effective.

"Okay, you guys wait for the news for now. I'll report this to the town first. If it's true, then our entire village and even the entire town will be saved. You guys wait for a moment."

Jiang Xueying and Doctor Li naturally had no objections. They were only responsible for curing diseases and saving lives, but how to save them and how to make arrangements were the matters of the higher-ups. They just needed to cooperate.

The village chief happily went to town, while Jiang Xueying and Doctor Li returned home.

In the past two days, Jiang Xueying has been paying close attention to the situation of Ye Xiaojin and Qiao. Fortunately, they were not infected, so Jiang Xueying was relieved for the time being and did not detain them any longer.

Everyone was very happy and relieved to hear the news. Fortunately, there was no infection.

At this time, Doctor Li came over. He no longer had a smile on his face. One look at his expression showed that he must have encountered some trouble.

Jiang Xueying asked, "Doctor Li, what happened?"

Doctor Li had no intention of hiding it from her. He came here just to discuss things with her.

"It's like this. It's been a few days, and there's still no news from the village chief, so I thought about treating the patient according to the prescription first, but I don't have many herbs. I originally planned to go out to buy some, but the village has been blocked recently because of the disease. Now no one can go out, and no one can buy herbs. There are so many people in the village, what can I do?"

It would have been fine if there was no solution before, but now he knows the treatment method, but he lacks the medicinal materials. How can Doctor Li be willing to accept this?

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Xueying muttered to herself. She had never expected that the imperial court would send people to seal off the village after hearing about the illness in the village. After thinking for a while, she suggested, "Since the main road is blocked, how about the back mountain?"

Doctor Li looked thoughtful and surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Since the main road is blocked, why not go through the back mountain? As long as we can get out, we can find a way to bring the herbs back."

Doctor Li thought about it and agreed. Now was the critical moment and he couldn't care less about anything else. He could only go to the back mountain.

The two of them quickly settled the matter. Jiang Xueying asked the Qiao family to take good care of the family, and then she followed Doctor Li.

On the way, they also saw a dead body in the back mountain.

It was none other than Mrs. Qiao, who had made a scene in front of her door a few days ago. Unexpectedly, she couldn't escape death in the end. It seemed that she had just died not long ago.

Seeing the person who was full of life a few days ago turned into a dead body now, Jiang Xueying felt quite emotional, but she just sighed and ignored it. The two continued on their way.
