"Anyone who dares to come up will die first, and then Dr. Yang will inoculate your corpses with smallpox." Liu Pingkang's cold eyes swept over the crowd.
As expected, the villagers hesitated.
“If I die, you will all die; if I live, the others will live.”
Seeing the villagers waver, Dr. Yang shouted again, "As long as you protect me, I'm willing to vaccinate your family members at half price!"
"Half price! Protect Dr. Yang! Protect Dr. Yang!"
This time, the villagers no longer hesitated and stood in front of Yang Doushi.
Seeing this, Yang Doushi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the law would not punish the masses, and as long as the villagers stood with him, he would be fine!
Hmph, a little girl like her thinks she can compete with him? She's still too green.
"You people are all ungrateful! The government was originally going to kill you all to end it all, but it was Physician Yun who saved your lives, do you know that?!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Pingkang was so angry that he cursed, "If smallpox were effective, why hasn't it spread? If you want to die, then go ahead and burn us all alive! These idiots are just wasting food!"
"Nonsense! The government only dared not kill me because they knew of my existence and felt guilty!"
Yang Doushi hadn't expected Yun Zhourong to have this ability, but he certainly couldn't let the villagers believe it, so he immediately said, "You just want to kill me too, so that the villagers are all beyond saving, and then you can justifiably wipe out the village!"
That must be it!
"Yang Doushi cannot die, and we refuse to be vaccinated against smallpox!"
"If you want to mess with Master Yang, you'll have to get over us first!"
"..."
The villagers immediately believed Yang Doushi's words and protected him, completely disbelieving Liu Pingkang's words.
"If I didn't want to save you, why would I have brought your seriously ill children to the post station for treatment?"
Yun Zhourong truly wanted to save these people, but she didn't expect them to react like this, and she felt both angry and disappointed.
"You don't really want to save them; you're using them as hostages!"
Seeing that the villagers were wavering, Yang Doushi immediately shouted with a look of sudden realization, "You woman, you are truly vicious!"
"What? Hostages!"
"Child, give the child back!"
"Release our children at once!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the villagers were instantly spurred on and were about to rush in to snatch the person away.
Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Yang Doushi's eyes.
Ideally, the government would get angry and kill all the villagers, then no one would know that his smallpox inoculation had failed.
He already had smallpox; if he hides well, he'll definitely be released afterward.
In this way, they can continue to inoculate people with smallpox.
As for cowpox vaccination, if it's really that effective, it should be eradicated here!
“This Yang Doushi is a troublemaker. Just deal with him. Why are you doing this…” Just when Yun Zhourong was at a loss, Ji Minxiu whispered to her.
"This...can it really work?" Yun Zhourong was still somewhat hesitant.
"Trust me." Ji Minxiu nodded firmly.
"Okay." Seeing this, Yun Zhourong no longer hesitated and whispered a few words to Liu Pingkang.
"Calm down, allow me to ask a few more questions. If this Dr. Yang can answer them all, I will return the child to you!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Pingkang narrowed his eyes and immediately shouted, "But if you still insist on resisting, the child will die before you do."
"Don't hurt the child, ask him!" the village chief immediately agreed.
Yang Doushi never expected that, after he had almost succeeded in stirring up trouble, the villagers would actually be calmed down, which made him quite angry.
He really didn't want to answer, feeling like it was going to ruin things.
But with so many people watching, and the village chief's grandson also inside the inn, he knew there was no way to hide.
All I could say was, "Fine, ask away!"
Liu Pingkang then asked, "You said smallpox is effective, may I ask how many people you have vaccinated in this village?"
“Three,” Yang Doushi said arrogantly, looking up.
"Okay, then may I ask, how are those three people doing now?" Liu Pingkang continued to ask.
"They...they are still recovering, of course..." Yang Doushi said, clearly feeling guilty, and clenched his fists.
Actually, the situation wasn't very good. He had originally planned to sneak away a couple of days ago, but unexpectedly, the village was sealed off.
"Oh, how is it doing?" Liu Pingkang asked.
"Of course..."
"It's terrible. My son, Da Niu, was inoculated with smallpox by him, and now he's so sick he can't even get out of bed. It's completely useless. He also took all our money and food!"
Before Liu Pingkang could finish speaking, Da Niu's mother ran out from the crowd, her eyes red and swollen, and said angrily, "You better pray that my son is alright, otherwise I will definitely fight you to the death!"
“I know that. Da Niu’s mother did indeed have smallpox inoculated by Dr. Yang not long ago,” one of the villagers said in a low voice.
"Oh, I remember now, wasn't the first person in our village to get vaccinated? Wasn't that Little Stone from the village chief's family?"
At this moment, another villager said, "Little Stone is also in serious condition now and has been sent to the post station for special care."
"Don't listen to her! I told you long ago that we had to avoid the wind. She brought Da Niu to the post station herself. Now that his condition has worsened, it's not my fault!" Yang Doushi immediately retorted in a panic.
"Then why is our little stone also in such a serious condition?" The village chief finally couldn't help but stand up and question.
Seeing his grandson's condition worsening, he already had doubts, but because Dr. Yang kept saying it was normal and would get better soon, he held back from saying anything more.
