Chapter 154 The source of the plague!
"Plague? It's an epidemic!"
A middle-aged male orc walked out of the crowd and stared at Su Xiyao seriously. "You little female, do you know medicine? Don't get close to them. If you get infected, you will get sick too, which will only add to our troubles. Go home quickly. I am the witch doctor of the imperial city. I will treat them."
"Uh, Master Witch Doctor, this little female is the one who helped the Beast King heal his illness last time in the Imperial City."
Chen Jue smiled awkwardly and introduced Su Xiyao's identity to the witch doctor.
"What? You?"
The witch doctor's eyelids jumped, and he stared at Su Xiyao in disbelief. "You really know medicine? The Beast King's illness has been lingering for a long time, and I haven't been able to cure it for years. Yet, you alleviated his symptoms in an instant. How on earth did you do it?"
The witch doctor's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Su Xiyao eagerly for knowledge. If Chen Jue hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed up and excitedly held Su Xiyao's hand.
"Now is not the time to say that. Whether it's a plague or an epidemic, it's the same thing. It's an epidemic virus. You should find the source first, otherwise it will spread even more."
Su Xiyao exchanged a few more packs of masks from the pharmacy and handed them to Chen Jue, "Tell them to wear masks properly, so they don't get infected too."
"Mask? What is this?"
The witch doctor looked at the mask in his hand, fiddling with the strings on both sides, looking confused, but curious as he studied it thoroughly.
"It's worn like this. If you trust me, just wear it like this."
Su Xiyao frowned and patiently taught them how to wear masks.
"Listen to you."
A young male orc stood up. He was full of righteousness. As soon as he came out, all the orcs lowered their heads respectfully.
"This is our Southern Wilderness Continent's Crown Prince Lian Qi. Hearing that an epidemic had broken out here, the Beast King ordered the Crown Prince to lead a team to investigate."
Chen Jue walked up to her and introduced her in a low voice.
"Is that so?"
Su Xiyao nodded lightly towards the eldest prince Lian Qi as a greeting.
"My father's cough was already very serious at the time, but according to your method, I stewed him with rock sugar and snow pear water every day. Now he no longer coughs up blood, and only coughs occasionally. His mental state has improved a lot. With such superb medical skills, I naturally believe what you say. You said to wear this mask, so we put it on."
In their hearts, they still admire the strong, and it has nothing to do with gender consciousness such as male and female. Crown Prince Lian Qi admires and appreciates what Su Xiyao did. He does whatever she says and is the first to put on a mask.
The other orcs followed suit.
The witch doctor looked at her eagerly and asked, "So what should we do next? If it's an epidemic, we need to give them medicine as soon as possible. I brought a lot of medicinal herbs from the imperial city and plan to cook them for them to drink."
"Drink medicine? Do you know what the disease is? Just take the medicine?"
Su Xiyao shook her finger and said, "There's no rush. We need to find the source!"
As she spoke, she walked to the small square, looked at everyone who looked weak, and asked, "When did you start to have this disease?"
"It was last night. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt an unbearable abdominal pain and had diarrhea. Now I feel dizzy and weak."
"I feel like I'm being cooked. My body is burning hot. It's so uncomfortable. I want to vomit again..."
"Woo woo woo, my little cub is not feeling well. Is there any kind-hearted person who can save him?"
A group of orcs groaned in pain, and soon some of them began to sneeze and cough. They all realized that they were not feeling well and were afraid of infecting their family members, so they voluntarily came to the small square for isolation.
Su Xiyao continued to ask, "Did you eat anything last night?"
"Just the usual barbecue and grilled fish. I didn't eat anything."
"The seafood we eat at home is just octopus and sea fish, just like usual!"
"Yeah, we all ate at home, each eating our own food. Will we have the same symptoms?"
They also wondered how things could become like this overnight.
The eldest prince Lian Qi also sent people to investigate. "The whole village has this disease. The cubs and females in their family have also been infected and are all bedridden. There is a strange smell in the house."
"Do they all smell strange?"
Su Xiyao frowned. She had smelled a stinky odor since she first arrived here, which meant that there was nothing wrong with her nose.
"These symptoms look like a fever, cough, and cold...but what about the diarrhea and abdominal pain? It's really strange."
The witch doctor has been examining them. After using healing techniques, their body pain has been relieved and they feel better, but the symptoms are still there.
"Do the adults think there's something wrong with our diet?"
After the pain in his stomach subsided, a male orc took the initiative to speak, "We are a tribe near the dock, and we basically rely on the sea for our livelihood. If there is a problem with the fish caught in the sea, could it be that the nearby sea is polluted?"
"no!"
Su Xiyao said confidently, "I just came out of the sea. Everything is normal on the seabed. The problem is above."
"Since the food is fine, what about your drinking water?"
"We can't drink sea water. We all drink well water. The water source here is shared by everyone. There is a well at the entrance of our tribe, and we all draw water from it to drink."
"Let's go check out the well."
Su Xiyao's eyes lit up. "If everyone's symptoms are the same, it means there must be something that is connected. It is most likely this well."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Prince Lian Qi immediately found the well. When he looked down, it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see clearly what was wrong. But when he stood at the mouth of the well, he smelled a foul odor.
"Oh my god, I can smell this through the mask. There must be something underneath!"
Even though Su Xiyao was wearing a mask, she could still smell the stench. She frowned and asked someone to get the water-drawing tools and put them down to collect water.
Wow!
The well water was salvaged, and in addition to the turbid water, there were also a few chicken feathers.
"vomit……"
Chen Jue smelled the flavor and saw what was inside, and he couldn't help but retching. "Oh my god, are they unconscious? How can they drink this stuff in here?"
He is a unicorn with a bit of mysophobia. Just by smelling the smell, he can't drink the water no matter how thirsty he is.
