Chapter 34: Not Heard Nearby, but Known Far Away



But Miss Jun was not joking, she waved to the children.

"Just do what you can, deliver medicine, help distribute food, etc." She said as she walked towards a room.

A doctor looked at the medicine box in his hand, hesitated and couldn't bear to hand it to these children.

The fear on the children's faces had not yet disappeared, and they stood there with their hands clenched.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Jing suddenly whispered, "Is it scarier than death row?"

He took a deep breath, took the medicine box from the doctor, and followed Miss Jun into the house.

Although the other children looked afraid, they followed without hesitation.

"I want to carry it too, I want to carry it too." Zhou Maomao ran after them with his short legs and opened his hands.

There is also a baby, and the expressions of the people in the yard are even more complicated.

What is this for?

"Miss Jun seemed to have said that people who have successfully been vaccinated against smallpox will not be afraid of smallpox for the rest of their lives, nor will they get smallpox." Someone suddenly said, "Is it true?"

"What's true or false?"

Jiang Youshu frowned as he looked at the imperial doctors who were gathered together and talking in low voices.

The imperial doctors came rushing over.

"Doctor Jiang, have you heard?"

"There's something new going on at Guanghua Temple recently."

"They say they have found a way to prevent people from getting acne."

Everyone whispered.

"How can diseases in this world be prevented?" Doctor Jiang frowned and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense."

Yes, that does sound incredible.

"It is said that the doctors have tried it themselves."

"In addition, the prince of Chengguo asked the emperor for permission to take several children of the Zhou family who were accused of treason from the prison. He also wanted to test the medicine."

The doctors went on to say.

Doctor Jiang naturally heard about this and he smiled.

"It seems that they really can't cure pox," he said. "They have started to think of such a weird method. Can they do this to show their dedication to pox? Can they be absolved of their guilt?"

He stroked his beard as he spoke.

"As for the children of the Zhou family, Zhou Bentang colluded with the enemy and lost Zhending Prefecture, which tore a hole in Duke Cheng's northern defense line. He lost a lot of face and was punished by the emperor. The new generals took away Duke Cheng's fat meat in the north, and Zhou Bentang's family members were beheaded and died peacefully. How could he vent his anger?"

This made sense, and the doctors all nodded.

"You can get rid of acne by taking medicine. That's ridiculous." They laughed. "I've never heard of taking medicine to get rid of a disease."

A doctor suddenly exclaimed.

"You can't say there isn't one." He said seriously.

Everyone looked at him, and a hint of displeasure flashed across Jiang Youshu's eyes.

"For example, the eminent monks in the temple, the sages in seclusion, and the nun in Puning Temple all have medicines that can prevent people from getting sick again." The doctor said seriously.

These words startled the imperial doctors, who then burst into laughter.

Jiang Youshu didn't smile and looked indifferent.

"This Miss Jun calls herself a miracle doctor, so it's no surprise that she can make this kind of medicine." He said calmly, "Just don't treat everyone in this world as fools."

Although Guanghua Temple was tightly surrounded by soldiers and the Imperial Guards, there were few secrets in the capital. Various pieces of news spread, whether from the Imperial Hospital or Deshengchang, or from the soldiers setting up checkpoints on the road, or from the prison guards in the Heavenly Prison, or from the prince of Chengguo Duke parading through the streets with prisoners from the death row.

Miss Jun and other doctors had failed to cure smallpox, and people were dying one after another. The news terrified everyone in the city, and many families had already started packing up their things to leave the capital and seek shelter somewhere else. But then news came that Miss Jun had found a way to prevent people from getting smallpox.

"Isn't that a lie?"

"It's definitely a lie, just like she said she could cure acne but it didn't work. It's a lie."

"How can this be possible?"

"What is the best way to prevent acne?"

All kinds of discussions and speculations spread like wildfire.

What method? Shopkeeper Liu twirled his beard and said that no one would believe it was a herd of cows.

To be honest, when he first heard the news, he didn't believe it.

Oh, cows! Cows can prevent people from getting acne. Cows can solve the problem of acne, which has been so terrible and everyone is afraid of it but has no way to deal with it since ancient times?

Who could have thought of this? How did Miss Jun think of this?

"It seems like it really came out." He said to Fang Jinxiu.

"Since she dared to do this, she must be sure of it." Fang Jinxiu said, "She will never let herself suffer a loss."

Shopkeeper Liu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little at this moment. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"If we can really accomplish this, Jiulingtang will have great merit and will be famous all over the world," he said.

Fang Jinxiu smiled and put down the abacus in her hand.

"Manager Liu should hurry up and find more cows to send over," she said, "I'm afraid many people will come to her for vaccinations."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled.

"It's not that easy to become famous," he said. "It's not that easy for people in this world to believe it."

"I don't know whether it's easy for people in the world to believe it or not." Fang Jinxiu said with a smile, "But the people in Yangcheng definitely believe it."

It was still chilly in Yangcheng in mid-February, but this did not affect the liveliness of the streets. Compared to the streets, the restaurants and teahouses seemed a bit dull.

There has been nothing new in the past six months.

"It's almost March 3rd, I'm sure Jinyunlou will miss Miss Jun very much."

"Why?"

"Because Miss Sanjun won a lot of money in the betting pot at Jinyunlou last March, Jinyunlou has become rich."

This made the people in the teahouse talk about the past year, but as they talked too much about the past, everyone's interest gradually waned.

"Something big has happened!"

Someone suddenly ran in from outside and shouted.

These words gave everyone in the teahouse a fright.

"What happened?" everyone asked excitedly.

The man's face flushed, he ran breathlessly, raised his hands and his eyes sparkled.

"Miss Jun has developed a medicine in the capital that can prevent and treat acne!" he shouted.

Acne?

Acne!

The teahouse was quiet for a moment, then it became noisy.

In the quiet and peaceful early spring courtyard, a few little girls were squatting on the ground, looking to see if there was any green grass growing between the brick cracks, giggling softly.

There were hurried footsteps coming from outside, as if someone was running.

The young master is about to take the exam, and the eldest lady has already started fasting and chanting sutras every day to pray for the young master. Who dares to run around in the eldest lady's yard like this?

The little maids looked up and saw that it was the eldest lady's personal nanny. She ran straight into the eldest lady's room with a panicked look on her face.

What happened? Why did this woman lose her temper like this?

The little girls looked at each other.
