Seeing the miracle healer wearing it, the villagers became even more convinced that the disease could be spread through conversation. Many women hurriedly covered their children's mouths.

"This disease is so serious, isn't it a plague?" A villager immediately grasped the key point.

Mu Qingcheng naturally couldn't let the villagers panic: "This is certainly not a plague, but a common fever caused by changing weather. With Divine Doctor Feng here, a few herbal remedies will be enough. However, this disease is also contagious. Even if it doesn't kill people, it's still very uncomfortable to get sick. So masks must be worn, and good protection will prevent you from getting sick."

The villagers only half understood what was said, but they understood that the disease could be cured, so they felt relieved.

Someone came to ask Mu Qingcheng where to buy this mask.

Mu Qingcheng: "Everyone, don't worry. These masks are still being made. Each mask costs two cents. Our Mu family provides the fabric for free. The two cents is for the embroiderer's labor fee."

When the villagers heard that such a small piece of cloth cost two cents, they thought, "Whose wife can't make it?" They just found a piece of cloth and made it themselves. Every family could have one and everyone could wear it when they went out.

Mu Qingcheng knew what they were thinking at a glance and quickly reminded them: "Everyone, remember, you can't mix masks and wear other people's masks, otherwise you will get sick."

The villagers didn't believe it: "Tsk! Miss Mu, you are not trying to sell masks to us, are you making up a lie?"

Mu Qingcheng listened without panic, and remained calm. "As the old saying goes, diseases enter through the mouth. Do you know this? This mask is to protect your mouth and prevent diseases from entering your mouth. Think about it, when you wear a mask on your mouth, how much saliva will be stained? If you pick up the saliva left by others, won't that enter your mouth?"

Ugh! That's a bit disgusting. Some girls blushed immediately after hearing this. Eating other people's saliva is not just disgusting. If it gets out that they are eating other men's saliva, it will be disastrous.

The villagers thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.

But some people were unconvinced and asked: "If you say so, then can't we use the same cup for drinking water and the same bowl for eating?"

Teacher Mu simply started a small hygiene class. "Of course, it's okay to mix things. Just scrub them thoroughly before reuse. Especially if they've been used by a patient, they must be boiled in water before reuse. Also, bedding used by patients carries pathogenic odors, so they must be washed or dried in the sun."

"In addition to entering through the mouth, the disease also enters through the nose. The air we breathe contains a lot of dust, and some pathogens are attached to that dust. So don't go out wandering around without any reason, and you won't bring the disease home."

"Also, everyone should remember the health song and wash your hands frequently every day. Just using water is not enough; you must add wood ash. Drink boiled water every day and pay attention to personal hygiene. I guarantee that you will not get sick."

Mu Qingcheng also reminded the villagers that if anyone has a patient at home, they must send the patient to the courtyard immediately for timely treatment to avoid infecting others.

Not only did the villagers listen carefully to Mu Qingcheng's hygiene class, but even Feng Zhishang listened carefully and took notes in a notebook.

He admired Mu Qingcheng more and more, and Feng Zhishang even showed Mu Qingcheng the prescription he had written.

Mu Qingcheng was a little dumbfounded. She didn't understand why he was showing her this. She held her forehead helplessly.

Seeing Feng Zhishang's eager expression, she reluctantly read it again. This time, she really saw the problem.

The prescription Feng Zhishang prescribed contained ephedra, apricot kernel, cinnamon twig, liquorice, forsythia, etc. She recognized all of these, but there were a few Chinese herbs she didn't recognize. However, these herbs were all suitable for treating colds and flu, but there was no antiviral effect.

Influenza viruses have undergone constant mutations in later generations, and there are many different types of antiviral drugs. Before Mu Qingcheng traveled here, they had just experienced a catastrophe. This catastrophe lasted for three years and killed countless people, which is why she was so vigilant.

Unfortunately, she wasn't a medical student, so she couldn't tell what kind of virus it was. She only knew some common sense, and the first medicine she thought of that could fight the virus was Isatis Root.

"Doctor Feng, why is there no Isatis root in your prescription?"

"Isatis root?" Feng Zhishang's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, "What kind of medicinal herb is isatis root?"

Mu Qingcheng was also stunned. Even Feng Zhishang didn't know. So, the isatis root of this period must not be called this name. Then what was it called? How could she know? However, she had a few packets of isatis root powder in her small medicine box. She remembered that there seemed to be a picture of isatis root printed on the packaging. She would let Feng Zhishang identify it later!

Mu Qingcheng: "Let's talk about this later. First, prepare all the herbs and give them to the patient!"

The village chief sent someone to the town to buy medicine. Mu Qingcheng also instructed the village chief to ask the person buying the medicine to go to several pharmacies, otherwise once the prescription was taken out, others would know that someone in Daxi Village had contracted an epidemic, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

The village chief was extremely grateful. This girl was so thoughtful, it was really admirable.

When the people who bought the medicine came back from the town, they said that there were long queues in all the clinics in the town, and the pharmacies were full of people scrambling for medicine. No one cared what the prescription was for.

Mu Qingcheng and the village chief knew something had happened as soon as they heard the news. They didn't expect the epidemic to spread so quickly.

Mu Qingcheng asked Moyun to find Moyu and told her about the epidemic: "Moyu, send someone to go around the surrounding area immediately to see how many villages have been affected by the epidemic, and also to prepare some more medicine."

Mo Yu knew the situation was serious and didn't dare to delay. He immediately sent Mo Yun, Mo Bing, Mo Feng and the others to investigate in different directions. Mu Qingcheng also gave each of them a mask.

A large pot was set up in the courtyard to boil the medicine. Five people from the village came to help: three men and two women, all strong and robust. They all wore masks. Mu Qingcheng even made a few white isolation suits.

Everyone in the courtyard was fully armed, including Feng Zhishang.

The villagers weren't as panicked as they had been at first, because they had the Mu family as their backing. They'd hired a miracle doctor and paid for medicine, so what was there to be afraid of? Even if they got sick, they wouldn't be afraid. Miss Mu had said that as long as they followed her instructions, she guaranteed the disease wouldn't kill them.

The villagers all stayed at home quietly, and no one dared to go out to visit neighbors, for fear of bringing disasters and diseases to their own homes.

Every household has equipped their strong laborers with masks, and they wear them when they go out. Nowadays, people walking around the village all wear white masks. For a time, people wearing masks were something to show off.

Even Mu Qingcheng didn't expect that the execution ability of the ancient villagers would be so strong.

The women had nothing to do, so they boiled water at home and cleaned the house thoroughly. Every household hung out their clothes or bedding to dry in the air in their yards.
