There were three patients in total, all of whom were couriers at the post station.
The person who developed the rash was the most severely affected; the other two had fever and headaches and were in a semi-comatose state.
The situation was already very serious; the child had almost lost the ability to take care of themselves and would cry out and vomit from time to time.
Yun Zhourong not only had to help them cool down physically, but also brew medicine, feed them medicine, and clean up for them. Even though there were only three people, she was still extremely busy.
Meanwhile, back in the main room, everyone panicked when they heard that the patients in the communal room had actually contracted smallpox.
"Let us out! Let us out now!" Yun Hongshen finally reacted, pounding on the door.
As a result, the door was locked, and they couldn't get out at all.
Yun Mingzhu burst into tears, terrified. "Mother, what should we do? Are we going to die from smallpox? Waaah..."
But at this moment, Qin was also somewhat at a loss. The village was sealed off, and she couldn't go out at all.
No… she can’t just sit here and wait to die; that person might be able to save her!
So she immediately stood up, opened the window, and launched a signal flare.
"call out…"
"Bang..."
As soon as the signal flare was launched, an arrow grazed her face and embedded itself in the window frame.
"ah!"
Qin screamed in fright and collapsed to the ground.
"Bang bang bang..."
Then came a loud thud as the door was kicked open. "Damn it, how dare they fire a signal flare at a time like this? If they want to die, they should just say so!"
The people in the room were all terrified and kept their mouths shut, not daring to utter a sound.
The constable outside continued, "Listen up, all of you! The entire village is surrounded by archers within a hundred meters. Not even a fly can get out. You'd better not make any moves, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, he kicked the patient hard and left while cursing, "I really don't understand. We're all family. One of us is kind-hearted and takes the initiative to treat patients, while the other is causing trouble here. What bad luck!"
"Waaaaah..."
Only after the constables had gone far away did Yun Mingzhu finally burst into tears, "Mother...why did you set off that signal flare!"
"You damned woman, do you even have a brain? Are you trying to kill all of us?!" Yun Hongshen angrily pointed at her and cursed.
"Now you all blame me? Why didn't you stop me when I fired the signal flare?"
Qin Shi was never one to suffer a loss, and angrily retorted, "Besides, I was just trying to find a way for my whole family to survive, who knew it would turn out like this..."
In the end, Qin was completely desperate.
The area was surrounded by soldiers, so even if the man wanted to save her, he couldn't.
Furthermore, as long as she's trapped in this village, that person will achieve their goal even without her lifting a finger…
Thinking of this, her eyes widened, and suddenly she collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.
That person has connections everywhere; if they really want to achieve their goal, what methods might they use...?
Instantly, intense fear made her tremble all over.
"It's over...it's all over...I'm doomed..."
If she had smallpox, she might have a chance to survive, but if that person attacked from the shadows, she would surely die…
No, it should be said that everyone in this entire village is doomed to die!
She didn't know the other party's purpose, and now she could only pray in her heart that the other party hadn't gone so far as to be heartless.
Seeing Qin Shi like this, the others looked at each other and then slumped to the ground in dejection.
"Mother, Xiaoyuan, you should rest now," Yun Hongcheng advised his family from the second branch of the family.
"Ruan Ruan is in so much danger right now, how can I sleep?" Old Madam Yun said with a worried expression. "Do you think Lady Snow Demon really has a solution? What if…"
“Mother, there’s no chance of anything going wrong. The Snow Demon is incredibly powerful and will definitely be able to save us all,” Yun Hongcheng said with a determined look.
"Hey, it's not that I'm skeptical, but I've never heard of a snow demon being able to cure people before. Otherwise, wouldn't smallpox have been eradicated long ago?"
Madam Yun, however, was not so optimistic. "What if that snow demon is just bluffing us, trying to trick us into going to our deaths so she can cultivate some evil art?"
After all, legends about demons have rarely been positive since ancient times. Even if the snow demon is good, who knows if the one in front of us is really the snow demon?
What if it's some other wicked monster with ulterior motives impersonating Yun Zhourong just to lower Yun Zhourong's guard and then bewitch people?
The more she thought about it, the more flustered Madam Yun became.
After all, people say, "When a country is about to fall into chaos, there will surely be monsters." Isn't the Great Sheng Kingdom now just like a country that has entered a period of chaos?
Therefore, it is only natural that monsters and demons run rampant.
Otherwise, why would this snow demon appear either earlier or later, but only during a time of cold disaster?
"Grandmother, I don't think Lord Snow Demon is a bad person." Yun Mingyuan couldn't help but stand up for Ji Minxiu. He had never seen such a good-looking person before, and he should bring him some delicious food.
Can a bad person wear their badness on their face?
Madam Yun gave Yun Mingyuan a disapproving look, then sighed, "I also hope that snow demon is really a good one. Our Ruan Ruan is already pitiful enough, let's not let her suffer any more."
Ji Minxiu was unaware of the speculation surrounding this matter.
When he returned to his study, he saw that his phone had more than a dozen missed calls, and one was just coming in.
It belongs to Assistant Lin.
"Boss, are you alright?"
As soon as the call was answered, Assistant Lin's extremely nervous voice came through, "If you don't answer the phone, I'm going to break in!"
“No, no matter what, no one is allowed to enter the villa without my permission,” Ji Minxiu asked immediately.
"No, boss, why?"
After asking the question, Assistant Lin suddenly caught his breath and forced a smile, "Boss, you're not really in trouble, are you...?"
"Assistant Lin, there are some things that are difficult to say over the phone. I'll tell you in person when you come over later."
Ji Minxiu was silent for a moment, then solemnly instructed, "Remember to wear protective clothing."
"Boss... don't scare me!" Assistant Lin was genuinely flustered now.
Could the boss really have smallpox?
But they're all extinct now, so where did he get them?
The boss hasn't been abroad or on any long trips lately, I really can't figure it out!
"It's not as serious as you think. As long as you find the vaccine, everything will be fine. Assistant Lin, calm down," Ji Minxiu said helplessly, pinching his brow.
Assistant Lin is good in every way, except that he is easily distracted by his own concerns.
"Yes, yes, we found them. Boss, the smallpox vaccine and the cow that meets your requirements have been found."
Assistant Lin then calmed down and said, "It can be airlifted over tomorrow. As for the doctor who will administer the smallpox vaccination, our family doctor, Dr. Zhou, will do it."
"That's good, thank you for your hard work."
