u. I just want to keep it and take it out later."She looked meaningfully at Ginger Bundles, clearly letting the old lady make a comparison.Elder Song nodded in satisfaction, "Rest assured, grandmother..."Okay, don't come crying to me later!"

The guard opened the city gate, and Pan Hongyan rode his carriage into An County. As soon as their carriage entered, the city gate of An County was closed again.

The guard told Pan Hongyan where the county office was located and, without carefully checking them, let them go.

After all, the most dangerous place in the world right now is An County. The enemy probably wouldn't dare to venture deep into enemy territory at this time.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Wan lifted the curtain and gazed at the silent, deserted street outside. He felt a deep sense of emotion in his heart.

A whiff of white vinegar hung in the air on the street. Ancient people believed that white vinegar could disinfect, though its effect was minimal, it was better than nothing.

The city was unusually quiet. Only the sound of their carriage wheels rolling over the road drew countless curious stares.

But at this time everyone was afraid of catching smallpox, no one dared to go out, not even anyone opened the windows.

Ginger could only judge from the silhouettes of people in the windows that many ordinary people in the city were still unable to leave.

According to the Sixth Prince, this is the fifth day since the outbreak of the plague. It's estimated that most households still have some remaining food supplies and therefore wouldn't be too chaotic.

But in the long run, An County would definitely erupt into chaos. Jiang Wan could almost imagine that scene.

At first, the goal was to get a favor from Lao Chu. Now, Jiang Wan felt an urgent need to find a solution to the smallpox outbreak.

Luckily, they soon arrived at the county government office. Pan Hongyan went in to negotiate and shortly came out with a portly middle-aged man.

That man gazed excitedly at the carriage. This was the divine doctor invited by the sixth prince and Elder Chu!

He's probably much better than those half-baked old timers in town.

The county magistrate wore a smile on his face, but it froze when Jiang Wan came out.

But he quickly composed himself and asked, "Has the divine physician come out yet"

He regarded the ginger as the divine physician's maid.

Ginger:...

"Sir, this is the divine physician invited by the Sixth Prince."

Pan Hongyan awkwardly explained and said to Jiang Wan, "Miss Song, this is the magistrate of Su County in An."

The county magistrate of Su...

He widened his eyes, incredulously rubbing them, to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

This girl looks about the same age as his daughter. Even if she started learning medicine from her mother's womb, it would only be about ten or twenty years of study.

Could she still be a divine physician

"I'm no divine physician, I'm just an ordinary doctor."

Jiang Wan smiled modestly, which lessened the sense of discomfort in Su County Magistrate's heart.

He was just an ordinary doctor, at most. But the light in his eyes had dimmed. "Doctor Song," the official said, "your journey must have been tiring. The governor has arranged a courtyard for you to rest in first."

He was utterly disheartened. It seemed that An County was truly doomed this time, and even the Sixth Prince wasn't willing to even make a pretense of caring.

They actually sent a young woman over, this is clearly just to fool them.

"My surname is Jiang, and my husband's surname is Song. Please have someone take my husband to rest first. I will go with you to see the patients with celestial flowers."

Ginger wasn't blind. She saw clearly the disdain in the County Magistrate of Su's eyes, but she didn't get angry.

To him, she was probably just a little kid, and she wasn't even bothered to waste her breath arguing with him.

Now she needs to see the patient as soon as possible.

"Doctor Ginger."

The County Magistrate of Su sighed, "Now the situation in An County is not optimistic. Those doctors who were sent in are now unable to come out."

He wasn't trying to scare Ginger, but rather make her realize the gravity of the situation. As a result, Ginger was not afraid.

"I know, take me there."

"My lady, I shall accompany you."

Song Jiubian, brought by Pan Hongyan, insisted on speaking. Jiang Wan was helpless, so she had the magistrate of Su County prepare a wheelchair for him.

This is a wooden chair, similar in design to a carriage. Although it lacks modern intelligence, it's still convenient.

Seeing her so determined, the magistrate of Su County did not stop her any longer. After all, she was sent here to solve the smallpox problem.

So he personally led the man to a courtyard, where guards lined up outside. Su Xianling wore a face of sorrow.

"Those infected with smallpox were brought here by me."

There's a scent of vinegar outside the courtyard. It seems this Su County Magistrate is also a person who cares for the people.

Then Ginger thought to herself, "Measles is mainly spread through breathing and contact."

“Could you have some masks made like this one, and have all the guards outside this yard wear them That way, we can reduce the chances of infection.”

"Thank you, Doctor Ginger, for your advice. I'll have someone arrange it right away."

The county magistrate agreed very enthusiastically, but Ginger could tell he didn't particularly believe her words.

She is only treated with a little more respect because she was sent by Elder Chu.

"Hurry up."

Ginger furrowed her brows, it seemed she had to achieve some results to gain the other party's trust. ωＷω.oＮЬ.οr

The county magistrate, being the county magistrate himself, naturally couldn't go in on an adventure. He sent the people outside the courtyard, and a dedicated guard led them inside.

"Song Jiubian, are you really going to go on an adventure with me"

Ginger stood at the door, earnestly looking at Song Jiubian. If there was even a hint of hesitation in his eyes, she wouldn't let him in.

But Song Jiubian didn't. He looked resolute, "Jiang Wan, I believe in you."

"Okay, go in."

Ginger's heart warmed. She took a step forward into the courtyard, and was met with an even stronger smell of white vinegar.

The outpatient clinic was deserted. As they walked in, a pungent smell hit their noses. The guard told Ginger and them:

"I can only bring you here, you have to go in yourselves."

Thank you!

Jiang Wan smiled, leading Pan Hongyan and Song Jiubian inside. The deeper they went, the more their mood seemed to weigh them down.

"Oh, it hurts so much. Let me just die."

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you You can't leave me!"

"It's all your fault, you wretched woman! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have caught smallpox!"

"...

"

Various sounds came from all directions, causing Jiang Wan's heart to tremble. As she walked closer, she realized that the place was divided into several courtyards of different sizes.

Several doctors were scratching their heads and thinking of a cure, while a few apprentices-looking people took care of the patients.

The courtyard was in chaos, with people lying everywhere. Some were clutching their bodies and wailing in pain, while others sat expressionless and numb, awaiting death.

There are some who don't want to die and cling desperately to the walls. Ginger felt heartbroken seeing this scene.

"Ugh!"

Pan Hongyan's eyes fell on a patient with a pimple, and he couldn't help but hold onto the wall and vomit.

But Song Jiubian remained composed. He had seen much more harrowing scenes on the battlefield, so he could endure this.

But what he didn't expect was that Ginger Wan could also remain unfazed. She instructed Song Jiubian:

"I'm going up to see the patients now, don't move around."

"Okay."

Song Jiu'yuan obediently agreed and watched as Jiang Wan swiftly took out a silver needle pouch from her pack.

Then, she took a few steps forward and fixed her gaze on a dying patient.

Before she could even get closer, Jiang Wan was stopped by a white-bearded old man.

"Who are you! What do you want to do"

When Ginger arrived, she was naturally awkward and unfamiliar. They had never seen Ginger before, so their eyes held a wary look as they stared at her.

Just as Jiang Wan was about to explain, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Song Niangzi, you're here too"fever"Mrs. Chen hurriedly touched the child's forehead and was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes, "The child's grandmother also had a fever and didn't make it."Having heard about the rans...
