Lin Wanwan patted his hands and reassured him, "I know, just rest assured."
Seeing that he was still a little worried, Lin Wanwan pushed him back to the bed and said unhappily, "Just lie down quietly! Don't worry about other things! I'm mainly here to see if the villagers in other villages are okay. I'll be back soon."
She returned to the village entrance and saw that Lin Jiu and his men had tied up the man and thrown him in a straw hut. The surrounding villagers were also queuing up to get medicine. Only then did she feel relieved.
Lin Jiu came over and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you and Mr. Shen okay?"
Lin Wanwan nodded, "I'm fine, but Shen Mo was injured. Injury is a small matter. I'm just worried that he might get the epidemic. It's okay. I will take good care of him in the next two days."
"That's good. How do we deal with these refugees?"
"Have someone build a few thatched huts overnight, throw them in and keep watch over them. Give them some medicine every day, and don't let them go to other villages. If there are more refugees coming, tie them up and throw them in. You have to keep a close eye on them for the next few days."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Wanwan also had people burn a large amount of mugwort and medicinal residues at the entrance of the village, and spray alcohol around for disinfection.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Shen Mo started to have a fever and vomit. Lin Wanwan hurried to check on him, asked someone to increase the dosage of the medicine, and kept wiping his body with alcohol to cool him down.
He had a fever for two days in a row, and Lin Wanwan stayed by his side without taking off her clothes. Whenever he had a fever, she would wipe his skin and feed him medicine. Nan Xi couldn't bear to watch it and wanted to help him, so she asked her to go back and rest, but she shook her head and refused.
"I'm worried. His fever won't go away. I'm afraid his brain will be damaged. It's a sin for a scholar like him to become a fool just to save me!"
Nan Xi was still worried at first, but after hearing what she said, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She shook her head helplessly. She should go to the kitchen to make medicine! Alas, what is this?
On the third day, Shen Mo's fever finally subsided and he gradually regained consciousness. Looking at Lin Wanwan, whose face was haggard, his heart tightened.
"Well, you, go and have a rest... I'm fine."
Lin Wanwan brought a bowl of porridge and scooped a spoonful to his lips.
"Finish your porridge first. I'll go and rest. You've had a fever for two or three days straight. I'm scared to death! What if you become a fool? Your brother will scold me to death when he comes back!"
"Heh..." Shen Mo smiled softly, "It's not bad to become a fool. I will let you serve me every day in the future."
Lin Wanwan raised her hand and touched his head, muttering, "You don't have a fever anymore, why are you still talking nonsense? Are you really stupid?"
Shen Mo raised his hand and grabbed hers, saying seriously, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Lin Wanwan glared at him and said angrily, "You know I'm working so hard, but why don't you hurry up and eat? Seriously, get well soon, you hear me! If you don't get better, I'll throw you into the pile of refugees!"
Shen Mo nodded, let go of her hand, climbed up, took the bowl, and began to eat slowly.
Lin Wanwan looked at Shen Mo who was eating with his eyes downcast. He had lost all his coldness and looked very pitiful. Somehow, her heart was suddenly hit hard.
She stood up hurriedly and said, "Take your time to eat. I'll go see how the medicine is prepared."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry, leaving him to eat slowly.
Shen Mo recovered well and was able to go out for a walk the next day. After he recovered, Lin Wanwan had the yard disinfected from inside to outside, so at least he didn't have to be fully armed when going in and out.
As soon as Lin Wanwan knew that the prescription was effective, she sent the prescription to County Magistrate Gao. During this period, County Magistrate Gao also distributed the medicine at the city gate, and the effect was obvious.
But there were still some people who could not be saved, and they had to be carried away and cremated to prevent the epidemic from spreading further.
Yun'an County was the first to control the plague. When the imperial court heard about it, it immediately sent an imperial envoy to learn from it, and then implemented it in other prefectures and counties. After a month, the plague was finally brought under control, giving people a chance to breathe.
As the plague dissipated, people gradually began to move around.
Lin Wanwan looked at the well, which was about to run dry, and her worry grew. She could only ask 857 to transport water from the space to fill the well at night when no one was watching.
The village had fenced off the entrance like an iron barrel, not letting anyone in. Anyone who wanted water had to line up obediently, and no one was allowed to cause trouble. The weather was hot, and people were getting angry, and they would start fighting after just a few words. Lin Wanwan handed the five dogs over to the patrol team to help them distribute water.
Some people were so frightened by the sight of the majestic wolfhounds that they immediately fell silent and dared not do anything again, fearing that they would pounce on them and bite them.
