Qian Jiujiu looked at Cao Suixin's serious expression and realized that this little girl was serious. Maybe it was possible! She was a favorite of God.
"Okay, I'll write you a prescription and draw you a picture of the herbs. Go and look for them. Maybe you'll find them! But before that, can you let me meet your father so we can take some measures? After all, if one of the people from Dayu Village shows up, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Cao Suixin nodded: "Okay, come with me to see my father. My father is in the study now."
They came to Lord Cao's study together. Lord Cao was writing something when he heard his daughter's voice: "Dad, I'm here with my savior."
Qian Jiujiu was a little speechless. They were given the title of savior. Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu's expression and couldn't help but smile.
The door of the study was opened, and a middle-aged man came out. He looked at Cao Suixin with a very kind expression: "It's Xin'er, did the two people in your dream really appear?"
Cao Suixin nodded: "Dad, it's them. They really showed up. Dad, I've decided. I'm going out to look for medicine."
Lord Cao frowned, "But what if you can't find it? Besides, if you go alone, how can Dad be at ease?"
Cao Suixin knew that he was still so young, and his father would definitely not be at ease if he went out: "But Dad, I must go, I believe I can find it, otherwise, what will happen to the people in the town? What about the people in Dayu Village?"
"If you're really worried, you can find someone to go with me. Anyway, I have to go this time. If daddy stops me, I'll run away on my own."
Qian Jiujiu coughed twice: "Well, let me say something, if she sneaks away alone, it may be more dangerous."
Since I can't stop her anyway, I might as well obey her and send someone to protect her. She shouldn't encounter any danger when she goes to the mountain. However, there are snakes, insects and wild animals on the mountain, so I still need to prepare some medicine for her.
Seeing his daughter's stubborn look, Lord Cao could only agree: "Since you insist on going, I will let a few yamen runners go with you. Your safety is the top priority."
Cao Suixin then smiled: "I knew that Daddy is the best. Daddy, then I will ask this noble man to write the prescription and draw the medicinal materials."
This happened to be a study room with paper and pen. Qian Jiujiu did not hesitate to pick up the paper and pen and wrote several prescriptions, drawing out all the necessary medicinal materials.
"I don't know the exact cause of the current plague. I need to check it out. These prescriptions were used to successfully treat the plague that occurred at that time. These are the herbs needed."
When Lord Cao heard this, he looked up at Qian Jiujiu and knew in his heart that the identities of these two people were definitely not low. Because such a prescription for treating plague is not something that ordinary people can get.
After Cao Suixin got the blueprint of the herbal medicine, he looked at Lord Cao and said, "Dad, go and arrange for some people to go with me. Not too many, three or four will be enough."
Lord Cao sent a few guards from his mansion to go up the mountain with you, Cao Sui Xin, to look for medicinal herbs.
After arranging these things, Lord Cao looked at Qian Jiujiu and the other man and asked, "Are you two going to wait for my daughter to come back next?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Lord Cao and said, "Lord Cao, there should be some medicinal herbs in this town. I hope to go to the medicine shop to find some and bring them to Dayu Village. It would be best if Dayu Village could be sealed off."
Lord Cao hesitated for a few seconds before nodding his head in agreement: "Okay, since you two are able to stand up at this time, you are also kind and righteous people. I trust you two."
He took Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao to the town's pharmacy. The government paid for some medicinal herbs that Qian Jiujiu needed. Taking the herbs, he and several officials headed towards Dayu Village.
After arriving at Dayu Village, they found that Dayu Village was still as quiet as ever. Qian Jiujiu went up to knock on the old woman's door: "Grandma, we are back."
The old woman was a little surprised to hear the familiar voice, but she still opened the door of the room. Seeing Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, she was a little surprised: "Why are you back?"
Seeing the officers following Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "So you are going to report to the police, come in first."
Qian Jiujiu shook the herbs in his hand and said, "I went to the town to get the herbs. With the herbs, you will get better. I can cure you..."
The old woman smiled bitterly and said, "You are thoughtful. You just came a step too late."
What do you mean by being a step late? Qian Jiujiu was stunned. Mu Yexiao entered the old man's room and sniffed the old man's breath. It turned out that the old man could not hold on and died shortly after Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao left.
The old woman looked at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao and said, "It's just right that you're back. I'm still alive and can still do something. You brought the officials here to seal off the village, right?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "There is a plague in Dayu Village. The village must be sealed off. You can't go out, otherwise it will cause trouble to others. But don't worry, mother-in-law. I said I am a doctor. Even if it is plague, it can't be difficult for me. I can cure it."
The old woman just smiled and said, "Come with me."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, somewhat puzzled, but still followed the old woman with the officials. The old woman took out a gong and handed it to Mu Yexiao: "Beat the gong, the louder the better."
Mu Yexiao took the gongs and drums and started to beat them. Following his mother-in-law, he beat the gongs and drums at the entrance of the village. After a while, the village fell silent and everyone slowly opened the doors of their homes.
One by one, they came towards the entrance of the village and looked at the old woman: "Village woman, why are you gathering us together at this time?"
Some even screamed: "Why are there officials? What's wrong with the village woman?"
If it weren't for the high prestige of the village grandmother, I'm afraid someone would have rushed over directly in this situation. However, there were still many people questioning.
The village woman smiled and said, "This woman is a doctor. She is willing to stay in our village and treat us. She also brought some medicine. This is a plague. I'm sure you all know that. We should have a conscience and not implicate others."
"But now they say the government has not given up on us. Doctors have come and brought medicine. This is our last chance. Do you want to live?"
The people in Dayu Village were stunned. No one expected that the government would not just send people to seal off their village and burn them all to death, but also send a doctor over.
Looking at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, these people had complicated expressions. There seemed to be more than ten yamen runners who followed them, and their faces were also very serious.
Lord Cao was a good official. When selecting the yamen runners to follow him, he had already asked in advance and told them that there was a plague here. Only those who were willing to follow would come, and he would not force those who were unwilling to follow.
After these yamen runners knew that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were the saviors mentioned by Empress Fu, they dared to follow them even if it was a plague.
At this time, the leading yamen runner also looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, our Lady Fu has gone out to look for medicine. I believe she will find it soon. Now you just need to cooperate with this doctor to treat the disease."
"We are here and will live here, so don't think about running away. You can't escape. What's more, if you run away, you will only implicate others. Staying here will give you a glimmer of hope. I believe you know what to choose."
When the villagers heard that even the yamen runners were going to stay, they felt relieved. They thought that this doctor must be really capable, otherwise, even the yamen runners wouldn't trust him so much.
Of course, they didn't know that these yamen runners only believed in their Goddess of Fortune. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, and Qian Jiujiu said, "Are there any people in your family who are too sick to breathe? Are there any people who are already sick, and those who are not sick? I'd like to trouble you to count them."
When these yamen runners came, Lord Cao had already said that they had to obey Qian Jiujiu's orders. And before coming, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao took people to the cloth shop.
They tore off some cloth and made a batch of masks and gloves on the spot. All the yamen runners who came put them on. Qian Jiujiu had already told them what to do.
Now the villagers are naturally cooperating the best. Those who have quicklime have already started spreading it.
The entire Dayu Village needs to be disinfected. Qian Jiujiu looked at the old woman and said, "Old woman, do you know which family is the largest in this village? The sick and the healthy people need to be placed separately."
The largest house in Dayu Village is naturally the village headman's, so almost all the sick people are placed in the village headman's house, which has been disinfected.
Qian Jiujiu went to take people's pulses, combine their symptoms, and prescribe medicine. At this time, Mu Yexiao served as the child who boiled medicine and assisted Qian Jiujiu.
After a busy night, at dawn, all the sick people in Dayu Village had taken medicine. Mu Yexiao stood behind Qian Jiujiu: "Do you want to take a rest?"
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "I'll go see the old lady first, and then go to rest."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "I'll go with you."
Soon the two of them arrived at the old woman's house and knocked on the door, only to find it was not closed. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, then opened the door and walked in.
When she came to the rest room, Qian Jiujiu was shocked. She saw the village woman lying next to the dead old man with a peaceful look on her face.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but stretched out his hand to feel his breath, then put his hand down: "Dead."
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu's uncomfortable expression and sighed, "Why don't we ask the people in the village if the village grandmother has any other relatives in the village? How should her funeral be arranged?"
