Chapter 410: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 21
"Get lost! What fancy girl? This is the doctor I hired! Show some respect, everyone. If you make me angry, I won't let you off!"
Lin Yuan put Ji Yunhuan down, and a group of people gathered around him, staring at Ji Yunhuan as if they were looking at something strange.
The men didn't dare to get close, for fear of scaring the fragile girl away, but the women had no such concerns. One aunt took Ji Yunhuan's hand and was very enthusiastic.
"She is so young, so pretty, and can even heal people. Could she be a fairy from heaven?"
A woman saw the prison uniform on Ji Yunhuan, but she was not afraid. She just said with some concern: "Could it be that Boss Lin went to rob the prison? Although we are short of doctors, we can't go against the officials. If we get caught, we will be finished!"
"Miss, has your family committed a crime? You don't look like a bad person, you must have been implicated. From now on, you can live here peacefully. Gang Leader Lin is a good man and will not harm you."
Ji Yunhuan was a little confused. This bandit’s den was completely different from what she had imagined.
In her previous life, she was trapped in the deep palace, and she always heard that bandits had killed people or mobs had rebelled. It seemed that these people were born bad, doing all kinds of evil and determined to oppose the emperor.
The emperor sent troops to suppress the bandits and rioters wave after wave, but the number of them did not decrease, but increased instead.
She thought that all the bandits were like Zhao Feitian, so she was extremely vigilant when she came here. She had a handful of sleeping pills in her hand and a dagger and hidden weapon ready at any time.
Ji Yunhuan was surrounded by a group of people and walked inside. He started chatting with a group of women in a daze.
Aunt Gao led Ji Yunhuan to a thatched hut and took out a piece of clean cotton cloth to cover Ji Yunhuan's mouth and nose.
"We fled all the way here, thanks to Gang Leader Lin's generosity in giving us food, otherwise more people would have died. Just yesterday, one person died, and Gang Leader Lin yelled for a doctor, but when we heard it was a plague, which doctor dared to come?"
"In fact, anyone who has had the disease once, or has taken the pills sold by the government, will not be infected with the disease again. Gang Leader Lin himself also had it, but he managed to get through it. We can't compare to the gang leader's iron bones, so we'd better be careful."
Bursts of coughing could be heard from the thatched hut. The patients were lying all over the floor. In the corner, there was a stove burning, and a thin medicine was being boiled.
There was a bitter smell of medicine in the room. The man who was making the medicine started coughing violently, waving his hands vigorously and trying to drive people out.
"What are you doing here again? We can take care of ourselves. Do we have to be infected with the disease to feel at ease? Go away!"
Aunt Gao held Ji Yunhuan as if she was holding her only life-saving straw. All her chattering just now disappeared, and she could only mutter one sentence over and over again.
"We have a doctor. The doctor can save you... he can definitely save you..."
The man poured out the medicine and distributed it to everyone. Seeing that Ji Yunhuan was so young, he didn't believe that Ji Yunhuan could cure the epidemic.
"The government says that the epidemic is difficult to cure. A pill costs one tael of silver. They say that it uses very precious medicinal materials. It is impossible for a doctor who has not had decades of experience to make it. Even if you spend one tael of silver, it may not cure the disease."
"We farmers can't afford such expensive medicine. We can just drink some cheap herbal medicine. Whether we can survive depends on our luck."
Ji Yunhuan took out several bottles of pills for treating epidemic diseases from his backpack. The bottles were outlined with gold thread and looked particularly gorgeous. They were rewards from the emperor to his ministers and were beautifully packaged.
In fact, the pills inside are not worth much money. They are all common medicinal materials. As long as there is a recipe, an ordinary doctor can make them.
Ji Yunhuan stuffed all the medicine bottles into Aunt Gao's hands. Just by looking at the expensive bottle, Aunt Gao immediately believed that the medicine inside could cure the epidemic.
"Oh my god, how much silver is this worth, and you just give it to us like this?"
Ji Yunhuan quietly replaced the hot water with spiritual spring water and said with a smile: "Medicine is used to cure diseases and save lives. It would be a waste if it is left alone. Take it with warm water, three times a day, and you will be well soon."
The man felt like he was dreaming. "How can I take a pill that costs one ounce of silver? I'm in good health, so I can just take one pill."
Ji Yunhuan squatted down to check on the old man's condition. He had a high fever and was confused. It was already in the late stage of the disease, and taking medicine for the epidemic alone might not be effective.
Fortunately, the emperor was in poor health and started to have a fever when he was infected with the disease. The Imperial Hospital also developed a prescription for reducing fever, which was very effective for internal and external use.
Ji Yunhuan put the black plaster on the old man's forehead, dissolved the antipyretic pills in water, and fed them to the old man.
Some people were injured. Ji Yunhuan found medicine to heal their wounds and told them how to use it one by one.
After a busy schedule, most of the patients lying on the ground stood up and looked much better.
Aunt Gao cried with joy and couldn't help but hugged her man and cried bitterly, "You must listen to the doctor and eat whatever the doctor says. Now that you are well, we will work like slaves to repay your kindness."
At some point, everyone in the thatched hut knelt on the ground, men, women, old and young, all crying loudly.
"We were driven out of Jeju City. We couldn't afford such expensive medicine, so they didn't care about our lives and left us to fend for ourselves in the wild."
"Boss Lin is sick himself, and he doesn't care about being dragged down by us. We have escaped all the way here, and Boss Lin gives us a bite to eat. Brothers are willing to follow Boss Lin. If he becomes a bandit, we will become bandits too!"
"The young lady saved us. She is the same as Gang Leader Lin. They are both our benefactors. The young lady is a miracle doctor and a female bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. We will all obey her orders from now on."
Ji Yunhuan felt somewhat guilty. The patients were able to recover so quickly, which must have been due to the spiritual spring water. Her reputation as a "miracle doctor" was not entirely true.
Ji Yunhuan helped up Aunt Gao who was at the front. Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, he felt really stressed.
"Let everyone take some pills. It's safest to take them for three days. You don't have to stay in the house anymore. You can go out and get some fresh air."
"Aunt Gao, I'm very dirty. Could you please boil some hot water for me? I want to take a shower."
Aunt Gao wiped away her tears and said loudly, "Yes, yes, yes, I have hot water ready. Go to my room and wash. I will watch over the girl."
Aunt Gao was afraid of neglecting the miracle doctor, so she scrubbed the wooden barrel three times before pouring hot water in it and carrying it in.
Ji Yunhuan took off his clothes, soaked in the warm water, and let out a long breath. It was so comfortable.
The prison uniform had been torn and was in tatters, covered in blood and mud. Ji Yunhuan simply couldn't wear it anymore.
She searched through the space and finally found an inconspicuous blue cloth dress in someone's warehouse. It should be made for servants and did not have any gorgeous patterns.
Ji Yunhuan was dressed neatly, with her long hair, which was covered with moisture, casually draped behind her. She wore a pair of cloth shoes, pulled open the simple straw curtain and walked out.
