"This..." The doctor was at a loss.
He was a slightly well-known doctor in the city who could cure the plague... He had to have that skill.
Upon seeing his expression, Du Hong's face darkened.
"You...can't...cure...it?" he asked, enunciating each word clearly.
The doctor knelt down with a thud: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
"I am not skilled enough, sir. You should... find someone more capable." He trembled with fear.
"Useless!" Du Hong cursed.
But since the other person didn't know how, he had no choice but to send someone to find another doctor.
However, after several attempts, nothing worked, and the bitten person instantly turned ashen-faced.
"If only we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have used this tactic against Luo Xi." Gong Cao regretted it a little.
He even felt that they shouldn't have provoked Rose, so that they wouldn't have been retaliated against by her.
Overwhelmed with regret and fear, the clerk suddenly felt utterly hopeless: "My lord, are we going to die?"
"I don't want to die! I haven't lived enough! I don't want to die!"
He muttered to himself as he picked at the teeth marks on his body, and soon the small wounds were bleeding profusely.
Du Hong's face turned ashen, and his already feverish body felt even more uncomfortable; he even wanted to scratch himself with his claws.
"Stop! Shut up!" he shouted, raising his voice. "Men, throw him out here!"
In contrast to Du Hong and his group's string of bad luck, Luo Xi's side was receiving a constant stream of good news.
Qi Lei and his army had already joined up with them, and Luo Xi instantly surrounded the entire prefectural city, making it impossible for Du Hong to find a doctor elsewhere.
In Tongning County, Nan Wushang, through tireless efforts, had prepared a suitable prescription. After Wei Qing and the others took the medicine, their condition gradually improved, and they regained consciousness.
Young and physically fit individuals like Yue Zhengfeiyuan have largely recovered. After applying to Yin Li, he led some soldiers still in Tongning County to hunt and kill rats to prevent future troubles.
After Nan Wushang formulated a preventative medicine, he and Rong Bai worked together to prepare and distribute the medicine to the people, making every effort to prevent the outbreak of the plague.
As for more distant places, inspired by the books given to him by Luo Xi, Nan Wushang directly processed the medicine into pills, so that they could transport them to various counties.
Looking at the small pill in her hand, Yin Li sighed, "The chief is indeed farsighted. If she hadn't taken the Poison Doctor under her wing early on, we would have been in big trouble this time."
Wei Qing, one of the victims of this plague, felt it most deeply: "Yes, this disease is indeed terrible, no wonder everyone is terrified of it."
He genuinely thought he was going to die from festering sores all over his body, but thankfully the poison doctor prescribed a cure.
"That's great! The people are finally free from the suffering of the plague. We all owe it to our leader."
Wei Qing wasn't the only one with this idea; there were also those common people who contracted the plague after being bitten by rats.
They all thought they were going to die, after all, in other places when the plague struck, people just sat and waited to die, but...
"Don't panic, don't panic, it's just the plague, right?" A villager chuckled and pulled out a paper packet, revealing a few dark pills.
"See this? These are pills made by a divine physician at the request of the chief. They cure the plague. Just take two pills a day, and the disease will be cured in about three days."
"Really?" The people around craned their necks, both expectant and incredulous.
You should know that even the Tianqi court had no way to deal with this plague; it was all about enduring it. Those who survived lived, and those who didn't died.
The villager scoffed, "Of course it's true. Don't you trust the boss?"
“This…” Everyone remembered what Luo Xi had done for the people recently, and many of the rumors about her, and gritted their teeth: “Fine, let’s give it a try. Anyway, how much worse can it get?”
only……
"Is this medicine very expensive?" they asked, their faces falling.
If it's too expensive, they won't be able to afford the medicine even if it's available.
"Don't worry, it's not expensive. One pill costs ten coins, and a whole dose of medicine will only cost a few hundred coins, about the same as treating typhoid fever."
For this highly contagious disease, Rosie had already given instructions to only charge the cost price.
The people then jumped up and cheered.
"That's great, there's finally hope for my husband."
"Yes, my grandson's crying breaks my heart. Whether he can be cured or not, it's better than watching helplessly." An old woman's eyes reddened as she asked the villager, "Where can I buy this medicine?"
The villager chuckled and pointed in the direction of the county government office: "It's over there. Find the officials in the government office."
"Remember, buy from the government office. Products sold elsewhere might be fake, so don't get scammed."
"Oh, oh, okay, we understand, thank you fellow villager, thank you God!" She was so happy that she couldn't speak coherently.
When they arrived, it was just as the man had said: the medicine was cheap and effective. After only one day of taking it, the patient felt much better.
"Great! It really works. We're so lucky to live under the Big Boss's rule. You wouldn't believe it, but when people in other places get the plague, their bodies are covered in pustules. They die with no healthy flesh left. It's horrifying."
"Wow, that's terrible. It's so much better here. We have cheap medicine and we can even go to school."
“Who says otherwise? My two little rascals were sent to the academy, and he told me that the teachers there are wonderful. They don’t look down on us just because we’re from poor families, and…”
She said mysteriously, "There's a place in the academy with a lot of books. Everyone can go in and look around. He said there are bookshelves one after another, and you can't see the end of them. There are so many books."
"Yes, yes, my younger brother also said that those books weren't written on bamboo slips, but on paper. Do you know what paper is? It's a precious thing that only the big shots in the capital can afford."
"Heavens! Does that mean my son is just as precious as the high-ranking officials in the capital?"
"You wish!" The others burst into laughter.
Thanks to Chu Zhe and Yin Li's efforts, the number of books in the academies of various counties has increased considerably. Now, the libraries have become a paradise for readers, and even Yin Li himself occasionally goes in to read.
That day, after finishing his work, he was about to go and take a look when a servant handed him Rosie's documents.
"Strategist, the chief has sent a message."
Yin Li was startled, thinking something had happened over there, but after reading it, he remained silent for a long time.
The servant gave Yin Li a strange look: "Strategist, are you alright?"
Yin Li then woke up with a start, folded the document and put it back: "Go and call General Yue Zheng, and tell him that the chief has something to arrange."
"yes."
After the servants left, Yin Li took out the document again and read what was written on it.
Xiao Yi and Liu Wei fought several battles, but Xiao Yi suffered repeated defeats and lost many soldiers, resulting in a low morale for his army.
Luo Xi wasn't particularly skilled in military matters either. Her idea was to transfer Yue Zheng Feiyuan to command the army, so that they wouldn't be unable to contain Du Hong and might even suffer heavy losses, which would be a bad deal.
