Chapter 257 Urgent

After gathering and burning all the corpses within her sight, Jiang Yuyue hurriedly checked on the condition of the others.

Since they are currently infected, it is naturally impossible to take them back to Guangyitang for treatment.

Jiang Yuyue glanced around and saw a large courtyard ahead. She then helped the people who were still breathing to their feet and led them inside.

Although she had some martial arts skills, doing such strenuous work with her mouth and nose covered and her breathing restricted was somewhat exhausting for Jiang Yuyue. It wasn't until she had carried about seven or eight people into the yard that she heard Jiang Qimo's shout.

"father!"

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Yuyue went out. Sure enough, Jiang Qimo brought her maternal grandfather, Shen Congshan, while Hongying followed with a large bag of medicinal herbs.

"Just put the herbs on the ground! Don't come any closer!"

Jiang Yuyue quickly stopped them from moving forward and then turned her gaze to Shen Congshan.

“Grandfather, the people here are probably infected with the plague. They need to be kept here for isolation and treatment. I also ask you to go to the government office and inform Lord Zhao to issue a notice telling the people not to come to the east of the city!”

plague!?

Shen Congshan's expression also changed. As a doctor, he knew the severity of the plague. Seeing Jiang Yuyue about to help the person on the ground again, he was extremely worried.

"Wu'er! Go back quickly, let me stay here..."

Before Shen Congshan could even voice his dissuasion, Jiang Yuyue immediately interrupted him, "Grandfather, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This plague hasn't broken out on a large scale in the city yet, so we need to suppress its spread as soon as possible. Leave this to me!"

“You are getting old, and your health is not as good as your grandson’s. You should go back and continue treating the wounded people who have not yet been infected. It would be bad if you collapsed. Guangyitang is waiting for you!”

Seeing this, Shen Congshan felt somewhat helpless, but he also knew that he was getting old and that doing so was indeed quite risky. Thinking of this, he could only give up for the time being and hurriedly turned around and rushed to the government office to deliver the message.

Seeing that Hongying was still standing there in a daze, Jiang Yuyue quickly reminded her, "Miss Hongying! You should take Dazhuang and go back quickly! We can't stay here any longer!"

Hongying bit her lip slightly, as if she had made up her mind, and stepped forward to help Jiang Yuyue lift the unconscious person up.

"Red Cherry!?"

Jiang Yuyue looked astonished. "What are you doing!"

“Young master can’t handle it all by himself, so I’ll lend a hand.”

Hongying smiled and replied, "I used to do a lot of heavy work, so I might be even stronger than you, young master. You don't need to worry."

"This isn't about whether your body is strong or not..."

Jiang Yuyue was truly helpless, but when she met her eyes, she knew that she probably couldn't persuade her otherwise. After sighing, she said, "Then you should also cover your mouth and nose with the cloth you're wearing, just like I did. This will reduce the risk of infection."

"okay!"

Seeing this, Hongying quickly did as she was told, while Jiang Yuyue glanced at Jiang Qimo beside her and found that the boy was also eager to try.

"Dazhuang! You're not allowed to come any closer!"

Jiang Yuyue said sharply, "This is no joke!"

Jiang Qimo hesitated, "But...but I also want to help..."

Jiang Yuyue felt a headache coming on. Things were in complete chaos, and she absolutely could not allow her Mo'er to be at any risk of infection, so she softened her tone a little.

“If you want to help, go with Grandpa. He’s old and his legs aren’t very strong. Go and help him out.”

Jiang Qimo seemed somewhat reluctant, but Jiang Yuyue rarely treated him so seriously, so he obediently followed Shen Congshan's footsteps.

After persuading the child to leave, Jiang Yuyue hurriedly helped Hongying into the courtyard. After carrying all the nearby people in, Jiang Yuyue busily began to brew medicine.

"Young master, leave it to me."

Hongying immediately took over the work from her hands. Since there weren't enough people at the moment, Jiang Yuyue didn't refuse her kindness. "Okay, then you keep an eye on the heat first, and I'll go take a look around."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue hurriedly walked outside. She brought back several people who were unconscious from high fever in the alley, and together with Hongying, she gave them the prepared medicine one by one.

By the time all of this was done, it was already past midnight.

Jiang Yuyue wiped the sweat from her forehead. The breathing of the people in front of her was much calmer than before, which finally put her at ease. However, all she could do for now was to slightly alleviate their symptoms. She would have to do a thorough diagnosis before she could determine the best treatment.

Moreover, if we want to cure it completely, it's not just a matter of using medicine. The clothes these people are wearing and the water in the surrounding area are contaminated with the disease, so it will take a lot of effort to resolve all of this.

And most importantly... Wan Qi's army is not far away.

Upon thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue's expression immediately turned serious. Although he did not know the specifics of the current battle situation, he had heard that they had suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Nanzhao people. If someone in the camp were to contract the plague under these circumstances, then there would truly be no hope of victory.

Although she didn't want to have much contact with Song Jinglan, she had no choice but to go and give him a heads-up under the current circumstances.

“Miss Hongying, you stay here and keep watch.”

Jiang Yuyue had barely sat down when she immediately stood up again. "I wonder if the plague here has spread to the military camp. I'll go over and warn the soldiers."

Hongying nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Young master, please go with peace of mind. I will keep watch over things here."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuyue immediately hurried to Wan Qi's camp outside the city, and Yueying, who had been hiding beside her, followed her as well.

But as soon as Jiang Yuyue got close, soldiers immediately stepped forward and blocked her way.

"Military camp, restricted area! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"

"I am He Wu from Wutong Pharmacy."

Jiang Yuyue immediately introduced herself, "Someone in the east of the city has been infected with the plague. I came here to remind you to pay attention to whether any soldiers have symptoms of persistent high fever. If so, they must be isolated and treated, otherwise the entire army will be infected with the plague."

This was no small matter. The soldier was also shocked when he heard this. He quickly whispered a few words to the person next to him, and then immediately thanked Jiang Yuyue.

"Thank you for reminding me. I have already reported this matter."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue felt a little relieved. She returned the greeting with a slight bow and hurried off to the east of the city.

However, before the soldiers who were supposed to deliver the order could even reach the commander's tent, Yueying arrived in front of Song Jinglan first.
