He Yue thought for a moment and said, "After this disaster, there is heavy rain. I'm afraid there will be an epidemic. No, I'll go find your father."

Guo Yulan held her back and asked, "Epidemic? What is an epidemic? Is it serious?"

He Yue explained, "It's the plague you mentioned. I have to talk to your father quickly. It just rained heavily, and the sun has been shining brightly these past few days. I don't know if it's too late."

Guo Yulan and Lu He were both surprised. Guo Yulan pulled He Yue and said, "Let's go find my dad now."

Lu He hurriedly asked Steward Lin to prepare the carriage, and Guo Yulan and He Yue rode at full speed to the county government office.

When we arrived at the county government office, we found out that County Magistrate Guo and Lawyer Bi had just gone to Changge Village, and the yamen runners didn't know the specific situation.

He Yue was worried that an epidemic had begun, so he said to Guo Yulan, "Xiaolan, I have to go find your father right away. I'm afraid the situation in Changge Village is not good. You two should go back first!"

Guo Yulan pulled He Yue and said, "I want to go with you. I don't want anything to happen to my dad, and I don't want anything to happen to you either."

He Yue refused, "No, you don't know how to treat it, and you just recovered not long ago, you can't help even if you go!"

Guo Yulan assured her, "I'm well now. I can help and I won't hold you back."

He Yue thought for a moment and said, "How about this! I'll write a prescription, and you and Lu He will go to the pharmacy to help get the medicine. The more the better. Once it's ready, have the yamen runners deliver it to every village and have them boil it and drink it. Everyone, whether sick or not, must drink it. This is also very important. Can you complete it?"

Guo Yulan nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I promise to have everything delivered."

He Yue nodded and wrote a prescription. After giving it to Guo Yulan, he asked a yamen runner to take him to Changge Village.

Guo Yulan waved her hand and said, "Yue'er, you must be careful and safe. You and my father must come back safely."

He Yue waved her hand, "Okay, don't worry!"

He Yue left in a car. Guo Yulan took the prescription, Lu He, and a few yamen runners to the herbal medicine shop to get the medicine.

With the help of the yamen runners, things went smoothly and several large carts of medicine were ready in a short time.

Guo Yulan ordered the yamen runners to go to the disaster-stricken village. He Yue arrived at Changge Village, and found that the current situation in the village was much worse than that of Donghe Village.

The air was filled with a foul smell, and there were dead animals and humans, all soaked by the heavy rain and then dried by the sun.

The smell was so suffocating that He Yue hurriedly took out two pieces of cloth from her bag and covered her mouth and nose.

Then she said to the yamen runner who brought her, "Brother, use this cloth to cover your mouth and nose like me."

The bailiff waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I can still bear this little bit of stench."

He Yue explained, "It's not just about blocking odors, it's about preventing diseases."

The yamen runner didn't understand. "It's just smelly? Can it cause illness?"

He Yue was speechless. She said directly, "There is a plague here. Do you understand? Don't touch anything with your bare hands, especially people. Take a good shower, wash your hands and clothes before you go back."

The bailiff panicked and hurriedly tied up the wound with strips of cloth. Although he had never seen the plague, he had heard about it from his elders at home.

He followed He Yue and said, "Doctor He, there really is a plague here. I heard that if you get the plague, you can only wait to die. How dare you come here?"

He Yue said, "I'm a doctor! And as long as they use the right medicine and follow my instructions, they will be cured."

The yamen runner felt a little relieved, but he still followed He Yue closely. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the insects flying around the corpse.

He Yue walked in and saw a group of people gathered there, men, women, young and old, all looking like beggars.

Surrounded by a simple thatched shed, He Yue walked closer and saw his master and County Magistrate Guo squatting beside a woman.

There were several sick people around, and He Yue saw the master examining the woman without any protection.

The woman kept coughing, and He Yue hurried forward to pull the master away. "Master, Mr. Guo, please move aside. I'll do it."

He Yue took out some medicine from her bag and fed it to the woman. Doctor Mo and County Magistrate Guo were delighted to see that it was He Yue.

Doctor Mo said, "Yue'er, why are you here?"

He Yue fed the woman the medicine, then stood up and took the medicine and said, "Master, you guys take this medicine first, and each of you, take one pill."

County Magistrate Guo was puzzled. "Why do we all have to take medicine? Aren't their illnesses just ordinary ones?"

He Yue said, "They have an epidemic disease, which can be spread through droplets, blood, and dirt. This medicine can temporarily relieve it. Wait for the herbs to be delivered, boil the medicine, and take it on time."

When they heard it was an epidemic, they were all scared. Doctor Mo asked, "Epidemic? Are you sure? But I just saw her and she just had a cold, a cough, and a slight fever."

It’s not that Doctor Mo doesn’t trust He Yue, but he is afraid that He Yue might make a mistake and cause panic before realizing it, which would be troublesome.

He Yue squatted down, examined the woman, lifted her clothes and exposed her belly.

The woman covered her hands in panic, and the people around her began to say to He Yue, "How could you, a girl, just lift someone's clothes like that?"

"Exactly. Where's the plague? Who are you? Stop bragging here!"

"Doctor Mo said it was just a cold and a cough, why do you say it's an epidemic?"

He Yue looked at those people and asked, "Have you, have you, have you eaten dead animal meat in the past few days? Do you feel anxious, dizzy, or have red pimples appearing on your body and are you itchy?"

The man was surprised. "You, how did you know?"

He Yue said, "The animal died, was buried in the ground, and then soaked in rain and sun. The meat was rancid and full of germs. If you ate it, the germs would get into your bodies, and if you came into contact with other people, you would be infected. The symptoms of these women were relatively mild, and they developed problems even though they didn't eat the meat. They were infected through close contact with you."

Upon hearing this, the few who were fine hurriedly moved away from them. The others were frightened and immediately knelt down and cried, "Divine Doctor, please, please save us! Please save us!"

He Yue shouted, "Quiet, quiet, get up! Take this medicine first, then go boil some water and wash yourself clean. Germs hate cleanliness the most."

"When I arrived, Miss Guo, the daughter of Lord Guo, had already prepared the medicine according to my prescription. I believe it will be delivered soon."

"When the medicine is ready, everyone should come and drink a bowl. Remember not to get too close to each other and keep a distance of one meter."

"Also, please don't eat animal carcasses anymore. Since Lord Guo came here personally, I believe he won't let anyone go hungry."

"If you want a good home, you have to rely on yourselves. Let's dig a big hole together, carry the exposed bodies and bury them deeper. Then sprinkle medicine on them to prevent the spread of germs, and everyone will gradually get better."

Everyone automatically lined up to get medicine from He Yue, and after taking the medicine, they went about their business.

After taking the medicine, County Magistrate Guo asked, "How did you know there was a plague in Changge Village?"

He Yue said, "After a disaster, there was heavy rain and scorching sun. The dead animals were soaked in rainwater and then exposed to the sun, which is the perfect environment for pathogens. If one person spreads to ten people, ten to a hundred, it will become a plague."
