Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the exiled group carefully made medicines to prevent the plague while taking breaks.
After preparing the prescription, Xie Guangbai handed the medicine over to someone with some knowledge of pharmacology to brew, while he himself tried to simplify the expensive ingredients in the prescription and find more suitable common ingredients.
Because he had taken the Loyalty Pill, Xie Guangbai's ability to treat and save lives was improved to a certain extent, and he eventually developed a cheap and effective plague medicine.
"Master, the medicinal materials needed for this prescription are all very affordable, even ordinary people can afford them."
However, since this prescription hasn't been tested yet, Guangbai doesn't dare to make a definitive conclusion that it will definitely cure patients suffering from the plague.
Xu Jinhuan nodded knowingly. She pointed to the county town not far away and said, "Isn't this a place with a county town? Guangbai, this time it's your turn to come into town with me."
"My lord, please think it over. If the plague has already spread to this county, once you and Doctor Xie go in, we don't know when you'll be able to come out again," Xia Zhiying said with great concern.
Li Yichang nodded, "Boss, the team still needs you to take charge. If there's anything that absolutely has to be done, send me and Big Head Brother."
"With one of us skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, we can certainly ensure Doctor Xie's safety."
Upon hearing this, Xie Datou immediately stepped forward. "That's right, boss, it's the same if we do it. The team can do without me and Brother Li, but it can't do without you, boss!"
Because the previous Changdong County was located at the border of two prefectures, it took the exiled caravan five days to travel after passing Changdong County before they encountered the new county.
Therefore, people did not understand why Xu Jinhuan would choose to go into the city and contact other people at such a dangerous time.
Only Ma Wencai remained calm, arms crossed, watching everyone else anxiously with a smile.
Ah, that's the advantage of knowing the truth; I'm not in a hurry at all.
Our leader is a god with supernatural powers, how could he easily contract the plague? You foolish mortals went to the city like idiots, you're just offering yourselves up to be killed.
“Ma Wencai, what are you laughing at? You always call him ‘boss’ this and ‘boss’ that, and you’re always sticking to him like glue.”
"Now that the boss is going to do something so dangerous, why don't you try to stop him?" Su Sanxi turned around and saw Ma Wencai grinning, and immediately became furious.
Ma Wencai shrugged helplessly and said to Su Sanxi in a theatrical manner, "It's a secret that can't be revealed!"
These words made Su Sanxi roll her eyes in anger, and she turned her head away from Ma Wencai.
Afraid to look at Ma Wencai again, he sleepwalked into Ma Wencai's room in the middle of the night and gave that annoying face a makeover.
Seeing the worried looks in everyone's eyes, Xu Jinhuan gently began to fabricate a lie.
"I'm sure everyone has heard that I'm a reincarnation of a deity, right?"
Li Yichang and the others nodded in agreement. A powerful figure like their leader, who could not only predict natural disasters but also possessed extraordinary skills, was surely a reincarnation of a god!
They don't know what good deeds they've accumulated over countless lifetimes to be able to fight alongside their leader now. They hope that when their leader ascends to the ranks of immortals, he will also arrange a good birth for them in their next life.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xu Jinhuan with even greater eagerness.
Seeing the fervent gazes of the crowd, Xu Jinhuan coughed lightly and continued, "Ahem, that's right, I am indeed a reincarnation of a deity, and I have already deduced what my final test will be."
Upon hearing this, Li Yichang quickly realized what was going on and tentatively asked, "Boss, is this final test related to that county town? Or is it related to the plague?"
Xu Jinhuan nodded first, then shook his head.
"That's both right and wrong. To be precise, it's related to the natural disasters of this world. I need to help people regain their faith amidst these disasters, and that faith is myself."
After hearing Xu Jinhuan's words, Xie Datou immediately realized that when the three of them were traveling, the eldest brother always told him to stop near the county town, which must be what he was doing.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Yichang said, "I understand, boss. You take Doctor Xie with you. Big Head and I will stay here."
After saying that, Li Yichang looked at the carriage not far away and said, "Boss, we still have a lot of preventative medicine left. Should we take some with us?"
And the medicinal herbs loaded on the carriages behind—this county town doesn't look very big, so the supply of medicinal herbs might be limited.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded. Then she walked to the carriage loaded with medicinal herbs, casually stretched out her hand, and the entire carriage of herbs disappeared.
"Wow!"
"So the boss had a hidden trick up his sleeve!"
"If I knew this trick, wouldn't I never have to bring luggage no matter how far I travel?"
Amidst the gasps of astonishment from the crowd, Xu Jinhuan collected some of the prepared preventative medicine before turning to walk towards Li Yichang and the others.
Meanwhile, An Er and the others who were in charge of guarding the medicinal herbs were all gaping in astonishment. What other surprises did Boss Xu have up his sleeve that they, the newcomers, didn't know about?
"Second Senior Brother, this Boss Xu is indeed worthy of being the old immortal's daughter. She makes me doubt my own eyes time and time again."
"Sigh, when will we be able to rank above Boss Xu? Look at Ma Wencai, he's neither good at literature nor martial arts, he can't even beat me, but Boss Xu always brings him along to every small meeting."
"Hmph, next time we're in danger, I'll definitely show off my skills and let Boss Xu see that I'm much better than that Ma Wencai."
Xu Jinhuan had very keen ears and naturally heard the whispers of the guards. However, she tacitly approved of this healthy competition, hoping that there would be more outstanding talents in the team.
Moreover, although these guards may seem to have many ulterior motives, their loyalty level on the system page has long exceeded 100, and they have already silently signed a loyalty contract with Xu Jinhuan.
He can now be considered Xu Jinhuan's official subordinate.
This is also why Xu Jinhuan doesn't mind using the space in public; since everyone there is one of his own who wouldn't betray him, there's no need to hide it.
"Master, take this. It's a signal flare I just developed. As long as you pull this string, colorful fireworks will rise into the sky. Once we see it, we'll immediately head into the city."
As Xia Zhiying spoke, she took out a small wooden stick-like object from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan accepted the gift with a smile. "Alright, it may take a few days to resolve the plague. You should find a place to set up camp first, and mark our route."
If Guangbai and I are unharmed, we will naturally go out of the city to find you.
Li Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said, "Sister Xu, we're waiting for you to come back."
Xu Jinhuan patted Li Xiaoxiao's head and said with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely meet up with you as soon as possible."
At this moment, Ma Wencai suddenly spoke up: "Boss, why don't I go with you and Doctor Xie? I can help you drive the carriage on the way, and I'm also good at gathering information."
If anything happens, I can run away quickly myself; there's no need for the boss to help.
