Sister Jin, standing at the door and with a higher status, prevented Qing Qing from entering, leaving her to fret helplessly outside: "Sister Jin, it's urgent that I see Ms. Yang!"

"Ms. Yang has just fallen asleep. If it's about the epidemic, go find Doctor Luo and the others. If it's about something else, we can talk about it tomorrow!" Sister Jin cast a disapproving glance at Qing Qing. Ms. Yang finally got a moment of rest, and if she is woken up, with her temperament, she definitely will not rest again, Sister Jin thought, her heart aching with pity.

Qing Qing explained in a low voice to Sister Jin, "I came to report the results of the mission."

"Reporting tomorrow won't be too late." Sister Jin had been present when Yang Mengchen assigned Qing Qing's task in the evening, so she knew what it was about.

Half-awake upon hearing Sister Jin and Qing Qing's conversation outside the room, Yang Mengchen opened her eyes: "Sister, let Qing Qing come in." With that, she got up and walked to the wooden rack beside her, washing her face with clean water to wake herself up.

Upon hearing Yang Mengchen's command, Sister Jin glared at Qing Qing fiercely, then turned and led him inside, urging as she put the food back on the table, "The food is still warm; Ms. Yang, please eat something."

Despite the emptiness in her belly, Yang Mengchen ate the food gracefully, took the water Sister Jin offered to rinse her mouth, then pulled out a handkerchief to dab at the corners of her lips, took a sip of the medicinal tea, and finally looked at Qing Qing: "Go ahead and speak."

"As Ms. Yang predicted!" Qing Qing immediately began his report in a deliberately lowered voice.

Slowly fiddling with the teacup in her hand, Yang Mengchen's face was calm, the depth of her dark pupils inscrutable: "Don't startle the snake yet. We will deal with it after eradicating the epidemic. You've also been tired all day; go and rest."

"At your command!" Qing Qing saluted and left.

Setting down her teacup, Yang Mengchen stood up: "Sister, stay here to rest. I will take Hai Tang to check on the patients." Without waiting for Sister Jin to respond, she stepped out of the room.

In the ten years from the death of her father until her escape in her previous life, each night she could only rest for three to four hours at most, often being suddenly awakened and then unable to fall back asleep. Even after arriving here, she could not break the habit of being easily startled awake and then finding it hard to sleep again.

Watching Yang Mengchen's petite figure leaving, Sister Jin's eyes filled with tender affection and helplessness. After she finished cleaning up the dishes, she went to rest, needing to be energetic for tomorrow to attend to Ms. Yang.

Seven days later, except for a few with severe infections, all the others had recovered.

Yang Mengchen had the severely infected patients moved to a temporarily-erected tent for convenience of treatment. She then arranged for a thorough disinfection of each household. Whatever could be burnt was burnt, and that which couldn't be burnt was boiled three times in rolling water. Only then did she agree to let the recovered villagers return home.

Half a month later, the lockdown of Jinquan Village was lifted. All those spared from the calamity embraced each other, weeping with joy, engulfed in the rapture of escaping the threat of death.

Looking at his much thinner and exhausted younger sister, the Eight Brothers of the Yang family had eyes brimming with intense affection and self-reproach, especially Yang Cheng'an.

Understanding her brothers' feelings, Yang Mengchen playfully blinked: "Brothers, we will be able to go home soon!"

"Yes, we will go home together!" The eight brothers answered in unison, holding back their tears.

The rest wept with overwhelming joy.

Even the mature and steady Doctor Luo and Xiao Hongtao were visibly moved, their expressions filled with joy.

This time, not only had the epidemic been cured in record time, but most importantly, not a single person from the entire village had died from it. This was an astonishing achievement that would stun the world, and they had personally witnessed and participated in this miracle, feeling genuine pride and fulfillment!

The Clan Leader, Lizheng, Elders, and the villagers of Jinquan Village knelt before Yang Mengchen and the others.
