After leaving Huichun Hall, Jiang Wan's steps became slower and slower.
The town looked a little different today. Many people were hunched over, coughing softly, and their faces were pale, looking a little weak.
Even if it's a cold, not everyone can be like this, right?
She frowned and returned to Huichun Hall.
"Jiang girl, what are you doing——"
"Old Qin, I just went to the market and found that many people there also had the same symptoms."
"It's just that the symptoms are milder than those in Huichun Hall."
As soon as Jiang Wan finished speaking, Old Qin's face darkened.
He knew that since Jiang Wan said this, it meant that she had noticed something.
He sighed softly and looked up at her.
"I knew it. With your keen sense, you should be able to detect the trick."
"Mr. Qin, what happened?"
"These symptoms began to appear seven days ago, and the number of patients has continued to increase. As of today, Huichuntang has admitted no fewer than a hundred patients with the same condition..."
Jiang Wan's pupils shrank.
Nearly a hundred similar patients do not seem to be a coincidence at all.
"I believe you have already noticed that there is something unusual."
"You mean... this is contagious?"
A contagious disease, she only thought of the plague...
However, she had never heard of it in her previous life... Wait, she suddenly remembered that a year later, Baiyun Town did suddenly encounter a crisis.
Many people suffered from headaches and fell into coma. Later it was discovered that someone had made poison in the water, causing people in the entire town to develop symptoms similar to those of the cold.
In the end, it was Jiang Yue who stepped forward to resolve the crisis and won the hearts of the people.
But it’s still early for that time... Could it be that because she intervened before, some things changed and some things happened earlier?
"Girl, since you've already discovered it, I won't lie to you. The situation in town is quite dangerous right now. If you've finished your business, you'd better return quickly to avoid being affected by this incident."
Jiang Wan glanced at Old Qin and realized that he was not testing her, but was saying this sincerely.
"Old Qin, you think this is too simple. There are many villages surrounding Baiyun Town. Who can guarantee that these will not spread to the surrounding areas?"
"you mean?"
Old Qin widened his eyes.
"Since this disease is contagious, there must be a source of infection."
Old Qin shook his head. "I've been researching for a few days, but I haven't found the cause of their fever and vomiting."
Jiang Wan fell into deep thought.
If only a few people have fever and vomiting, it's hard to find the cause, but if hundreds of people have the same symptoms, they must have been exposed to the same thing."
"We might as well investigate their food and water sources."
Qin Lao's eyes lit up. "Girl, thank you for reminding me!"
Yes, why didn’t he think about the water problem?
Baiyun Town’s water source almost entirely comes from the town’s largest river. If there really is a problem, it is very likely to appear in that river.
"I'll take some people to investigate the river right away."
After saying this, he hurriedly left the place, but the expression on Jiang Wan's face did not fade.
This matter is not that simple, but if the root cause is found, it will save a lot of trouble to deal with it.
Moreover, she had already reminded them to lead them to find the root cause. With Mr. Qin's medical skills, he should be able to develop an antidote.
Back home, Su Yun noticed the difference in her mood.
"Wanwan, what happened in Huichun Hall today?"
"No, mother, I was just thinking."
As she spoke, she took out a silver note from her bosom.
"This is the money from selling the ointment today."
Although the full quantity had not been delivered, 200 bottles were delivered today, and Old Qin gave her all the money for the 200 bottles.
'hiss--'
Looking at the banknotes on the table, Su Yun took a breath.
"so much?"
She knew that what her daughter was tinkering with were medicinal herbs, but she never imagined they were so valuable.
“This is only part of it.”
"Oh, by the way, mother, I'm going to give the ten taels of silver to Xiaoyun. After all, she's been accompanying me up the mountain to collect herbs and make medicine, and she's helped me a lot."
"You decide on your own money. Mom doesn't care."
This money was earned by Jiang Wan through hard work, and she would not interfere.
In the evening, Zhang Xiaoyun packed up and went into the room.
She saw Jiang Wan sitting at the table, seemingly waiting for her.
"Wanwan, are you waiting for me?"
Jiang Wan nodded and motioned her to sit down.
"Xiaoyun, here."
Only after she sat down did Jiang Wan hand her the silver.
Zhang Xiaoyun looked puzzled, reached out to open the purse, and after seeing what was inside, he pushed it back in.
"Wanwan, what are you doing? Are you trying to chase me away?"
"What are you thinking? Why would I turn you away? This is the profit from the ointment, and it's your share."
"No, no, how can you ask for so much money? I just picked some herbs for you."
Zhang Xiaoyun waved his hands in panic.
"What do you mean by helping me collect herbs? You've really helped me a lot. Without those herbs, I wouldn't be able to finish making all those ointments. You deserve these ten taels of silver."
"If you don't accept it, you'll be looking down on me."
Jiang Wan said with a stern face, "Just take it. Save the money for yourself, and you won't have to rely on others when the time comes."
Zhang Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with tears and he spoke with a choked voice.
