Xiao Hongtao had not yet spoken when Wang Tong already said, "Ms. Yang, rest assured, County Lord Zhou has already taken his brothers to Jinquan Village. According to the messenger, everyone in Jinquan Village is infected with the epidemic, except for him, no one has left the village."

Everyone?

Upon hearing this, Yang Mengchen's heart chilled, "Third brother, have the servants fill the empty water jars and buckets with water and deliver them to the entrance of Jinquan Village, along with vinegar and strong alcohol. Fifth brother, take some people and get more quicklime from the Zhao family."

Yang Chengxuan and Yang Chengyu nodded their heads and left promptly.

"Does the little girl think the water is problematic?" Doctor Luo asked.

Xiao Hongtao realized, "Jinquan Village is not surrounded by rivers, there's only one well. It must be the water that is problematic, which has led to the whole village being infected with the epidemic."

"We still need to see the specific situation," Yang Mengchen wrote two prescriptions and gave them to Old Master Luo, "Grandpa Luo, please take Doctor Li, Jing Xiuyu, and the five of them (Elite Guards studying medicine with Doctor Luo) to prepare the medicinal soup for everyone to take.

Meanwhile, every household should take six doses of medicine home with them, as well as disinfect their homes according to the methods described above. Those who are pregnant should take the second prescription, which can prevent infection from the epidemic."

Old Master Luo nodded in agreement.

"We wish to follow Miss to Jinquan Village!" the five Elite Guards exclaimed in unison.

Sister Jin's expression was calm, her tone firm, "Wherever the young miss is, this old servant will be too!"

Bai He and four others, along with many servants, also expressed their wish to follow Yang Mengchen.

They were not fearless of the epidemic, but in this world there is no reason for masters to risk their lives while their servants avoid danger and seek fortune.

"Sister Jin, Bai He, and you five, follow me. The rest of you stay behind!" Seeing that her family members, Weichi Kong, and Grandpa Shao clearly wanted to follow, Yang Mengchen promptly stopped them, "You all assist Grandpa Luo in the preventive work for the other villages! Rest assured, we will return safely!"

Everyone else could only stay behind.

Yang Mengchen immediately took Sister Jin and the others, along with Wang Tong, and met Hai Tang who was already waiting at the village entrance, then they rapidly made their way to Jinquan Village.

"My lord!" Seeing the group's arrival, County Lord Zhou and the Government Officials hurriedly came forward to meet them.

Xiao Hongtao eagerly asked, "How is the situation?"

County Lord Zhou's face was heavy as he shook his head.

"Later, when my brothers send the herbal medicine over, each of you must drink it!"

Yang Mengchen took out protective suits from her medical bag for everyone to wear (Hai Tang had specifically brought dozens of sets), and then, leading Sister Jin and the others, entered the village. On the way, Yang Mengchen administered self-made anti-toxin Pills containing ingredients like Atractylodes to everyone, which could ward off evil qi and also had an effect in preventing the epidemic.

Not far along, they saw a middle-aged man standing on the road, looking around with a white cloth over his face, his eyes filled with burning anxiety and worry. Upon seeing the group, he hurried over and stopped five steps away, kneeling on the ground and respectfully saying, "Commoner Zhuo Shuiquan pays his respects to the lord!"

"Rise," Xiao Hongtao gestured with his hand.

After taking Zhuo Shuiquan's pulse and lifting the white cloth from his face to check his complexion, Yang Mengchen sighed in relief—Zhuo Shuiquan was not infected with the epidemic. She took out a porcelain bottle, poured out an anti-toxin Pill and gave it to Zhuo Shuiquan, "Take this, it can prevent infection." She appreciated Zhuo Shuiquan's actions.

"Thank you, Ninth Sister Yang!" Zhuo Shuiquan clearly recognized Yang Mengchen and tearfully accepted the Pill, swallowing it eagerly.

Then Zhuo Shuiquan led Yang Mengchen and the others to find Doctor Zeng and informed them that Doctor Zeng had been trying to treat the people in the village all this time.

Along the way, everywhere they could hear the miserable crying that brought a gloomy sorrow to one's heart; the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy and oppressive.

They arrived at a farmhouse courtyard, following the cries into a room, where they saw two old people and three children lying on the kang bed. Three middle-aged men and women were sitting weakly beside them, a middle-aged woman, clutching the youngest child, was crying bitterly— the entire family had been infected with the epidemic.
