"Deputy General Qin, A-Ping, quick, get the carriage ready! Shu-Fan and Pan-Er have developed high fevers, we need to see a doctor immediately!" Jiang Qin-Yu, dressed in thin clothes, came over and knocked on the door.
Qin Shen and A Ping were both martial artists, so their sleep was lighter than that of ordinary people. They got up immediately upon hearing any noise.
Upon learning that Shufan and Pan'er were sick, the two of them quickly left the room with serious expressions.
"Madam, please go back and dress warmly. I'll get the carriage ready, and A-Ping, please carry the young master and young lady out..." Qin Shen arranged things methodically.
Jiang Qinyu was a little flustered at this moment, because Shufan and Pan'er's high fever did not just start, but began in the middle of the night last night. After taking their temperatures, she gave them ibuprofen, but the fever returned shortly after it subsided. Seeing that she really couldn't handle it, she went out to call for help.
Yunzhu and Hu Po got up when they heard the commotion. Knowing that Shufan and Pan'er were sick, they were both very flustered.
"How could a high fever suddenly develop?"
"Yes, I was fine before I went to sleep last night..."
As the two women were pacing anxiously, Qin Shen called out to them, "You two shouldn't be idle either. Go and pack a couple of outfits for the young master and young lady. We're going into the city to find a doctor, and we might stay there for a few days."
Although Dr. Gu in the village was fairly skilled, Qin Shen had a gut feeling that if Jiang Qinyu couldn't handle the problem, Dr. Gu probably wouldn't be able to either. It would be better to go straight to the county town and ask Wei Chengzhong for help in finding a doctor.
Jiang Qinyu was very anxious and quickly got ready. She got into the car with Yunzhu and Amber.
Qin Shen and A Ping drove the carriage ahead, while Jiang Qinyu and the other two took care of the two children inside.
"Auntie...it's so hot..." Pan'er snuggled into Jiang Qinyu's arms.
Jiang Qinyu could feel her burning body temperature. Suppressing her anxiety, she tried her best to speak gently to comfort her, "Pan'er, be good. We'll be able to see a doctor soon, and you'll get better after that."
"Auntie, it's cold...so cold..." Across from Jiang Qinyu, in Yunzhu's arms, Shufan suddenly began to shiver.
Just as Jiang Qinyu was about to reply, Pan'er in her arms unconsciously began to whimper, "Auntie, it's so cold..."
The two suddenly went from high fever to chills, and Jiang Qinyu's heart skipped a beat, with a sense of foreboding.
“Madam, it seems that the young master and young lady’s illnesses are not quite right…” Amber said hesitantly.
Yunzhu immediately glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense! Young Master and Miss are blessed with good fortune, they'll definitely be fine!"
Amber pursed her lips, feeling extremely tormented.
"Amber, just say what you want to say." Jiang Qinyu forced herself to calm down and looked steadily at Amber.
Amber glanced at Yunzhu, bit her lip, and said, "I... my younger brother died of smallpox when he was six years old... he, he was, he was..."
smallpox!
Jiang Qinyu suddenly remembered that people in this world had never been vaccinated against smallpox!
She also vaguely remembered that the symptoms of smallpox included high fever, chills, headache, back pain, and fatigue.
The child is young and may not be able to express himself fully and clearly, which is why she overlooked it.
"Pan'er, Pan'er, can you hear what your auntie is saying?" Jiang Qinyu asked the little one in her arms anxiously.
But Pan'er was already confused at this point, and apart from complaining about being hot one minute and cold the next, she didn't say anything else.
"Aunt, Aunt... I can hear you..." In Yunzhu's arms, Shufan weakly opened his eyes a crack.
Jiang Qinyu quickly asked, "Shufan, do you feel headache, back pain, and weakness all over your body?"
Shu Fan nodded slowly, "My head hurts, and my mouth hurts too..."
"In the mouth?" Jiang Qinyu was taken aback and quickly looked at Pan'er's mouth.
Upon seeing it, she almost lost her balance.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Amber asked anxiously.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head. "I'm fine."
After saying that, she turned to Yunzhu and Amber and said, "From now on, none of us can have any contact with anyone else, no one at all, understand?"
"Got it." The two nodded quickly.
Amber swallowed hard and asked, "So, Madam, the young master and young lady really are..."
She didn't dare say it aloud, for fear that if it really was true, what would the lady do?
Jiang Qinyu nodded, her face pale. "It should be."
She wasn't afraid of getting infected; if all else failed, she could always buy medicine through the system...
Yes! She can buy medicine through the system!
Jiang Qinyu patted her head; she was truly terrified, having completely forgotten about the system, this cheat code.
So what if she has smallpox? She has a system!
"Madam, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Yunzhu was heartbroken when she saw Jiang Qinyu patting her head, and she didn't even care about her own safety.
The carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and A-Ping and Qin Shen also heard Jiang Qinyu's words. A-Ping said with a serious expression, "Madam, if the young master and young lady really have smallpox, then there's nothing we can do even if we go to the county town. You should make plans as soon as possible."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Amber couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Ah Ping angrily, "Young Master and Miss will definitely be alright!"
Aping ignored her and only looked at Jiang Qinyu.
While using her large cloak to shield Pan'er from the cool breeze brought by the lifted carriage curtain, Jiang Qinyu searched her mind in the system and replied to A Ping, "Let's go to the house in the county town first, and we'll talk about the rest when it gets light."
"Yes." Aping lowered the carriage curtain, blocking the cool breeze from getting in.
Qin Shen's expression was also grim outside. "This matter must be reported to the general immediately."
“Yes, I will arrange it,” Aping nodded.
Without saying another word, the two drove the carriage quickly toward the official road outside the village.
However, before they reached the intersection, they heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Qin Shen and A Ping exchanged a glance. A Ping said, "The person who came was only one rider and one person."
Who could it be so early in the morning?
The answer was soon revealed.
"Whoa..." Lu Yanzheng saw the carriage and pulled on the reins. His eyesight was excellent, and he had already seen who was driving the carriage. "Qin Shen, A Ping, what are you two doing so early in the morning?"
"General!" the two men said in unison, getting out of the carriage and bowing.
Inside the car, as soon as Jiang Qinyu heard their shouts, she immediately lifted the car curtain and looked at Lu Yanzheng from afar.
For some reason, at this moment, Jiang Qinyu could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down her cheeks one by one.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yanzheng could no longer hold back and immediately prepared to ride over.
"Don't come any closer!" Jiang Qinyu shouted, her voice choked with emotion.
Lu Yanzheng pulled on the reins again. "What happened?"
"General, the young master and young lady may have contracted smallpox, and the madam wants us to take them to the residence in the county town," Qin Shen replied immediately.
Upon hearing the word "smallpox," Lu Yanzheng's expression changed drastically. "Are you sure it's smallpox?"
"It's almost certainly true." Jiang Qinyu nodded, tears welling in her eyes.
She had just searched around and found that the system store did not have medicine to treat smallpox, but it did have a smallpox vaccine.
