"Can she really do it?" a woman asked subconsciously.
It was normal for them to have such thoughts. After all, in this era, there were very few female doctors, and even fewer with excellent medical skills. The female doctors they knew only treated women's illnesses, while other illnesses were treated by male doctors.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Xue Qian immediately patted his chest and assured them, "Don't worry, Madam Mu's medical skills are even better than mine."
"Since Divine Doctor Xue has said so, we will believe it for now."
The village chief asked, "Mrs. Mu, can you really cure smallpox?"
Bei Yutang looked at the faces filled with hope and longing, not daring to speak without proof. "I can't guarantee that everyone can be cured, but I will do my best to prevent smallpox before it happens to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was excited.
"Do you really have a way to prevent us from contracting smallpox?" Someone asked again uncertainly, fearing that he had heard it wrong.
"Yes, there is a way."
The villagers all had happy smiles on their faces.
"Let's go."
Bei Yutang and his group walked towards the village with the villagers. These villagers were from nearby villages. Some of them had fled early as soon as they heard the news. Those who found out later were naturally trapped in the village.
Along the way, Bei Yutang chatted with the villagers and learned some things from them.
Smallpox spread from Yanzhou Prefecture. Now the most serious situation is in Yanzhou Prefecture. The entire city has been completely blocked and no one is allowed to go out.
Two days ago, smallpox was only reported in Yanzhou Prefecture. Over the past two days, smallpox patients have begun to appear in villages surrounding Yanzhou Prefecture. Without waiting for news from above, the prefectural governor ordered all the soldiers to seal off the roads leading to the outside world in Yanzhou, forbidding anyone from leaving and only allowing those outside to come in.
When many people heard that smallpox had appeared in Yanzhou, they took a detour and dared not enter.
Bei Yutang looked at the empty houses, which should be those of the villagers who had left early.
The village chief settled them down and held a village meeting in the village ancestral hall that night.
"Do you think what they said is true?" someone asked.
"It should be true."
"But, does a woman really have such great abilities?" Some people still have a skeptical attitude towards this.
"You'll know if you try it."
"They're all staying here anyway."
"Besides, Divine Doctor Xue is here too. I believe the people in Divine Doctor Valley won't lie to us."
Everyone talked about it and finally decided to give it a try. If it really didn't work, they would find a way to escape.
The next day, early in the morning, Bei Yutang and his group got up early and were about to go find the village chief, but they didn't expect the village chief to come to them first.
"You are all awake. I wonder when Mrs. Mu would be free to get us some medicine?" the village chief asked with a smile.
He didn't sleep well that night because he was afraid that she was bragging.
That's smallpox. Once someone gets smallpox, nine out of ten people will die. Only a very small number of people can survive by chance.
Bei Yutang was also preparing to talk to the village chief about this matter.
"Village chief, please gather all the villagers together. I have something to say to everyone." Bei Yutang said.
"Okay, okay, okay, no problem."
