Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er exchanged a glance, both harboring bad thoughts.
Even if the injury was serious, it wouldn't have reached the point where no one could get close...
Unless, he has contracted some kind of highly contagious disease...
Xie Zhun immediately gave the order for Zheng Ye to lead the guards to quickly surround the open space where everyone was stationed, narrowing the area to within ten meters.
Xie Zhun was about to ask Xuan Feng to push him out, but Ning Xi'er stopped him, saying, "You're someone I saved with great difficulty, don't waste my efforts!"
As she spoke, Ning Xi'er took out an antidote pill from her spatial storage and swallowed it. She then took out a handkerchief, tied it around her ear, and covered her mouth and nose.
Xie Zhun grabbed her hand, looking very worried.
Ning Xi'er replied, "I'll ask from afar. Qin Yuan is so observant; he'll definitely warn me if there's any danger..."
"You are physically weak and have no resistance; you really shouldn't take this risk..."
Xie Zhun actually wanted to say that she shouldn't, but she stopped herself in the end.
I cherish the present moment, but reluctantly let go of her hand, telling her to be careful.
Ning Xi'er stepped out of the tent, and Xie Zhun immediately ordered Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian to follow.
She instructed the two that in case of emergency, the princess should disregard any danger...
He ordered the two men to bring the person back, even if they had to knock him unconscious.
Ning Xi'er followed Zheng Ye's directions and instructed him to follow Xie Zhun's orders to first shrink the encirclement of the guards and increase the distance between himself and Qin Yuan.
Looking from a distance, Ning Xi'er saw a horse standing a hundred meters away from the camp, grazing with its head down and circling in place.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered a person lying on the horse's back, who must be Qin Yuan, the man Zheng Ye had mentioned.
Ignoring Zheng Ye's attempts to stop her, Ning Xi'er walked forward for more than ten meters, still more than eighty meters away.
"Mr. Qin..."
Ning Xier raised her voice.
The man lying on the horse struggled to his feet, raising his head slightly, but ultimately failing to lift it.
He merely waved his hand slightly as a response.
"Okay, I'll ask you a question. If you answer correctly, you can wave your hand. If you answer incorrectly, you can stay still, okay?"
Qin Yuan shook his drooping arm.
Ning Xi'er turned around and glanced behind her.
Zheng Ye was very perceptive and gathered the crowd to the back to avoid causing a riot, as some people took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Ning Xi'er looked at Qin Yuan again, "Have you been infected with the plague?"
All eyes behind him were focused on Qin Yuan's drooping arm.
The arm didn't move at first, then it swayed slowly.
Ning Xi'er immediately turned around, ran back, and rushed to the tent where the supplies were stored.
To deceive others, he actually took out dried mugwort and other herbs from his spatial storage and filled several baskets.
As Ning Xi'er was being dragged out, Zheng Ye immediately rushed over and personally helped the guards carry her.
Ning Xi'er instructed Zheng Ye to have everyone present cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs or strips of cloth, and to have the guards smoke mugwort and other herbs along the outer edge of the camp.
Zheng Ye immediately gave the order, and the guards began to run...
Ning Xi'er ran back to her original spot, about sixty meters away from Zheng Ye.
She continued, "Now tell me more about your symptoms..."
Do you have a headache?
His arm swayed.
Do you have chills?
The person on horseback waved their hand again.
Is the fever high?
The arm continues to wither.
Ning Xi'er's brows furrowed visibly.
The question continued, "Do you have any symptoms such as sweating, joint pain, abdominal pain, or vomiting?"
My arm moved slowly and nervously four times; all four symptoms were present.
"How's your stomach? Does it hurt?"
The arm swayed again, but the amplitude was significantly smaller than before.
Clearly, Qin Yuan was at his limit and wouldn't last much longer.
Ning Xi'er quickly asked the crucial question, "Did you contract the virus here or on your journey of cultivation?"
My arm swayed slightly.
Ning Xi'er: "I'll tell you one by one now. You just need to move around when it's a specific area."
She immediately asked, "Feng Yi?"
The arm didn't move.
"Yongning?"
His arm twitched and struggled.
Ning Xi'er didn't stop, "Huai Ren?"
The arm didn't move.
"Cultivating virtue?"
Still nothing.
The situation is clear: the epidemic is currently breaking out in Yongning, while the surrounding counties are temporarily unaffected.
Ning Xi'er also made a basic judgment about the disease that Qin Yuan had contracted.
Sepsis and hemorrhagic fever caused by plague.
When I was studying at the military medical university in my previous life, the professor explained that most ancient plagues were caused by this.
Therefore, based on the symptoms of septicemia and hemorrhagic fever caused by the plague, Ning Xi'er inquired with Qin Yuan...
The symptoms match perfectly!
In ancient times, when medical technology was underdeveloped, this was something that would strike fear into the hearts of everyone!
Once the infection spreads, tens of thousands will die...
The situation was urgent, but Ning Xi'er remained very calm.
Footsteps came from behind her; it was Zheng Ye running towards her. Ning Xi'er immediately stopped him.
Following the instructions, Zheng Ye covered his own mouth and nose, telling her that everyone had already covered their mouths and noses, and the herbal fumigation was underway...
"That's good!"
Ning Xi'er's expression was solemn, and Zheng Ye felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
His feet unconsciously stepped closer, but Ning Xi'er stopped him, "Don't come any closer!"
A sudden sense of fear arose in Zheng Ye's heart.
Ning Xi'er's expression was serious, and her voice was calm as she instructed Zheng Ye, "Have Haitang and Aoxue come over!"
Zheng Ye turned around, and the guards behind him strode away.
Haitang and Aoxue arrived quickly.
"Miss!"
"I asked Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian for the water I had stored in the tent, so that everyone could drink it. I also brewed herbs according to the recipe for the detoxifying soup I taught you, but no one else had to drink it..."
Haitang and Aoxue quickly took notes, but noticed that Ning Xier was keeping her distance from them, and the person on horseback in the distance was unconscious...
Both Haitang and Aoxue showed fear on their faces, "Miss..."
