Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Xiao Mo also felt that this matter was quite strange. He could send someone to investigate, but Ye Jintang could not take the risk.

No matter how skilled she was as a doctor and how easily she could cure smallpox, contracting smallpox was always painful, and he didn't want his beloved to suffer any harm.

"Smallpox is highly contagious, and the guards are all young people. How would they know how to prevent smallpox? If it spreads among the army, it will be troublesome."

"Brother Xiao, my physique is slightly different from that of ordinary people. Smallpox can't do anything to me. Just let me investigate this matter."

Xiao Mo was naturally very clear about Ye Jintang's physical fitness, but he was still unwilling to let her take risks.

Xiao Mo refused to give in, and Ye Jintang kept nagging him. After a long period of coaxing and persuading, he finally agreed.

"Then I will only give you one hour to enter the village. After one hour, no matter what happens inside, you must come out."

One hour was already Xiao Mo's limit.

"Okay, one hour is enough."

When Ye Jintang went to Meng Village, she naturally couldn't go in alone. She had to bring a lot of medicine with her and save the people first. As for whether they were guilty or not and what to do with them in the end, that was Xiao Mo's business.

It is very dangerous to enter Meng Village, and Ye Jintang is a little embarrassed about who to follow in.

After much thought, she finally asked Liuli to find four people from the first batch of female medical apprentices to go to Meng Village with her.

The four places are all voluntary and not mandatory. If there is no one, we will find one from the second batch of female medical apprentices.

It seems like this is a thankless job. If you get infected with smallpox, you may even lose your life.

What they didn't know was that this was actually a great opportunity. Ye Jintang would let everyone take a large amount of space spring water to prevent them from being infected with smallpox after entering Meng Village. Even if they were infected with smallpox, she would generously give them space spring water for treatment.

Ye Jintang knew very well the effect of the spring water in the space. It was also a hidden benefit for the female medical apprentice who ventured into Meng Village.

"My lady, I will go with you."

Just one hour after the news was delivered to the Medical School for Girls, Liuli hurried into the palace.

When Liuli heard that Ye Jintang was going to personally lead people to treat smallpox for the villagers, she wanted to go with him without saying a word.

"No, it's just a small matter. There's no need for so many people. The first batch of female medical apprentices can't even gather four people."

When asked by Ye Jintang, Liuli gave an awkward smile with a hint of shame.

"Smallpox is extremely contagious, and once infected, there is a high risk of death. It is understandable that the female medical apprentices were afraid of it."

Ye Jintang nodded. She would never force anyone to do anything. Since they didn't want to go, there would always be someone who wanted to go.

Only two people signed up for the first batch of female medical apprentices. Liuli had no choice but to recruit two more from the second batch of female medical apprentices and barely made up a total of four people.

The next morning, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang changed into casual clothes and followed the imperial guards to Meng Village.

Meng Village is not big, with only about 100 households. Now the whole village is surrounded by soldiers, and people can only enter but not leave.

Ye Jintang and four female doctors, wearing light blue dresses and carrying medicine boxes, passed through two checkpoints and entered Meng Village.

As soon as they entered the village, two misty uncles came to greet them.

"Miss Ye also begs you to save the people in our village."

"You must be the village chief Meng Dahai, right?"

"Exactly."

"Before you save people, I have a question that I would like to ask Uncle Meng."

"Girl, please tell me."

"As far as I know, even though the villagers knew they had smallpox, they still went to the market and spread smallpox to other people. I don't know if this is true or not."

When this matter was mentioned, Meng Dahai hesitated and didn't know how to start.

"Uncle Meng, just keep talking. Once this matter is made clear, I can start treating the patients in the village sooner."

"To be honest, young lady, the people who had smallpox and went to the market were indeed from our village. I don't know why, but a few days ago, several families in our village suddenly got smallpox. I told them all to stay at home and not go out."

"Who knew they wouldn't listen at all and kept running outside, saying that smallpox is afraid of the sun and that they just needed to go out and get some more sun."

"In the end, not only did our village get smallpox, but several other villages were also infected with smallpox."

Meng Dahai sighed slightly. When the officers and soldiers came to ask him the reason, he was afraid of taking responsibility and dared not say anything about it.

Today, someone finally came in to help them cure smallpox. Meng Dahai had no choice but to tell her everything. If he didn't tell her and offended the female doctor in front of him, all the people in Meng Village would be killed.

"How many families have suddenly behaved so abnormally? Are they all locals who were born and raised here?"

"There are four families in total. They fled to our village seven or eight years ago. The villagers felt sorry for them and helped them build houses and provided them with food. They got along well with the villagers in the past few years. Who would have thought that they would suddenly go crazy?"

When Ye Jintang heard the phrase seven or eight years ago, he immediately thought of the reason. It seemed that Min Shao had already taken action many years ago. What preparations had he made in order to kill Xiao Mo?

After asking clearly, Ye Jintang brought four female doctors into the village. She gave the patients pills containing spring water according to their serious conditions.

"Miss Ye, these are the families. They were the first to get smallpox and never received treatment. Several of their family members died, and the remaining ones are half-dead and waiting to die."

It was an abandoned thatched hut, and through the window one could see five people lying in a mess inside.

One of the women was in the worst condition. She had blisters on her face and exposed arms. Some of them had even been scratched and judging by the pus flowing out, she was obviously not going to survive.

"Uncle Meng, please carry that woman out first. I'll help her first."

"Miss Ye and Aunt Mao were among the first to contract smallpox. She has never taken medicine. I don't think she will survive. Don't waste such good medicine. It's better to give it to other people."

"It's okay, just listen to my instructions."

Since Ye Jintang said so, Uncle Meng couldn't refuse. Now Ye Jintang was the savior of Meng Village, and he didn't want to offend him.

Aunt Mao was carried out of the house. She was too sick to get up.

Ye Jintang didn't waste time talking to her, and only asked one question, "Do you want to live?"

Aunt Mao opened her cloudy eyes and looked at the girl in front of her. She was wearing the clothes of a doctor in a clinic. Although they were still two steps away from each other, she could vaguely smell the scent of medicinal herbs.

Without thinking too much, she guessed that the girl in front of her should be a female doctor.

"I want to ask the doctor to save me. I want to live."

"Then you must tell me the truth about everything I ask you. If you hide anything, you will slowly die of exhaustion."
