Qin Suiyou passed through the city gate without any trouble. He immediately identified himself and, before he could even explain why, the guards let him through.

Yang Mo pointed the way, and the group arrived at a village.

Because it was located on the very edge of the village, few villagers usually came here. However, a few dilapidated wooden houses remained, providing Yang Mo and his fellow villagers with a temporary place to stay. But judging from the state of disrepair, they wouldn't be able to stay for long. Moreover, with strict land control now in place, as outsiders who might carry the disease, they would probably just wait to die in the wooden houses without the intervention of the imperial government.

Upon arriving at the location, Yang Mo asked Qin Suiyou and the others to wait a moment while he went forward and called out to the wooden house a few times.

After a moment, a middle-aged man with a weathered face came out.

"Mo is back, where are Lele and Shitou?"

Yang Mo smiled and said, "Uncle Dazhu, where are they? We've bought the grain and are back."

Yang Dazhu's face lit up with surprise and delight. "Really! That's wonderful!"

As he spoke, Yang Dazhu looked behind Yang Mo and immediately spotted Qin Suiyou and the others.

"Who are those people...?"

Yang Mo led Yang Dazhu to Qin Suiyou and introduced him, "Young Master Qin, Uncle Dazhu is our village chief."

Their village is called Yangjia Village, so most of the people there are surnamed Yang.

Qin Suiyou nodded and said gently, "Hello, Village Chief."

Yang Dazhu was stunned for a moment when he suddenly saw someone who looked like an immortal in front of him. He only came back to his senses after Qin Suiyou greeted him.

"Hello."

Then, Yang Mo said to Yang Dazhu, "Uncle Dazhu, this young master Qin is a kind person. He helped us buy our grain, and he also wants to help the villagers get medical treatment."

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, kind sir!"

Ordinary people are simple-minded, and Yang Dazhu was only chosen to lead the village chief halfway through the journey. Even if they were wary, they didn't think much of it when they saw that Yang Mo had brought them back. They only knew that they were lucky to have met a good person who could help them.

Afterwards, Gao Yu and Beitang Yan helped unload the grain from the carriage. Since they couldn't carry much, Qin Suiyou bought a total of six bags. Yang Mo and the other two, along with Gao Yu, each carried one bag, while Beitang Yan carried two bags by himself. However, he looked more relaxed than the other four.

After carrying several bags of grain, the group finally saw the true appearance of the wooden house.

There were at least a dozen people in the cramped space. After Gao Yu secretly counted them, he found that there were twenty-five people, including the village chief and Yang Mo. Because there were a few children in there, it looked like there were fewer people. As a result, when the group came in, they almost had nowhere to stand.

Seeing familiar figures enter, the people inside, though mostly sallow-faced and weathered, greeted each other quietly. Despite the large number of people, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Next, after telling everyone that Qin Suiyou had bought the grain for them, and amidst expressions of gratitude, Yang Dazhu then mentioned that Qin Suiyou was going to treat everyone's illnesses.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions remained happy, but many people's gazes turned to the man sitting on the only bed in the wooden house.

Seeing this, Yang Qing stood up and said to Qin Suiyou, "I am Yang Qing, the former doctor in the village. However, my medical skills are limited. The best I can do is to temporarily control their condition. If this esteemed person has a better doctor who can save them, Yang Qing will be extremely grateful on their behalf."

Qin Suiyou first looked around, then said, "Are all the people in this room in good health?"

Yang Qing nodded, "That's right. After such a long journey, several patients' conditions have worsened, and they are still able to infect those around them. But we really don't have the resources, so all we can do is gather the sick patients in another room."

"This is indeed the best we can do right now, but the disease you have has an incubation period and there is no effective treatment. Many of you here are probably already carrying the virus."

Although he didn't know what germs were, Yang Qing understood the general meaning from Qin Suiyou's words, and then lowered his eyes somewhat helplessly.

Several people comforted Yang Qing, and Qin Suiyou called out to Yang Mo, saying, "You guys make something to eat for everyone first, I'll take a look at this side first."

After Yang Mo began to act as instructed, Yang Qing was somewhat surprised upon hearing what Qin Suiyou said.

Are you here to help the villagers?

Qin Suiyou slightly raised his hand. "What, do I not look like a doctor?"

Hearing this, Yang Qing smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then Qin Suiyou said, "You look very young, but you were able to save so many people after the floods, which are most likely to bring disease. This shows that strength and age are not absolutely related."

After saying that, Qin Suiyou found a corner and began to take the pulse of each person. Beitang Yan followed closely behind with his satchel on his back. The slight aura he unintentionally revealed made the people next to him unconsciously make way for him.

Qin Suiyou first looked at a little girl who was being held by her mother. Although she seemed a bit timid, she wasn't too afraid of strangers.

After examining her, Qin Suiyou said gently, "Little sister is very healthy. There are no problems at the moment. That's great."

Then, he gave Beitang Yan a meaningful look.

With a blank expression, Beitang Yan reached into his satchel and took out a small cloth bag filled with colorful candies, though they looked different from the ones Qin Suiyou had given him before.

After taking one out, Beitang Yan handed it to the little girl who had finished examining it. The little girl was tempted, but she was anxious for her mother's words, so she turned around to look at her mother behind her. After seeing her mother nod gently with a smile, the little girl happily reached out and took it, not forgetting to say "Thank you, brother" in her tender voice.

Qin Suiyou then checked each child one by one. Whenever he encountered a child who was too young to eat, Beitang Yan would carefully hand them a piece of candy. Some children missed their parents and wanted to give them their first piece of candy they had received in a long time, but Qin Suiyou stopped them.

After letting the children eat the candy first, Qin Suiyou said, "This is actually medicine for you. It won't be effective for your parents. Your parents have their own medicine."

Upon hearing this, the child's eyes widened, and with a candy still in his mouth, he exclaimed in surprise, "I've taken medicine before, and it's always bitter and doesn't taste good at all. This doesn't taste like medicine at all, brother."

Qin Suiyou gently stroked his blond hair and said softly, "Because this is a specially made medicine for you, so you won't be afraid to take medicine."

Then, the child blushed slightly and whispered, "If all medicine tasted this good, I definitely wouldn't be afraid."

Qin Suiyou smiled and got up. At this time, the porridge that Yang Mo and the others had cooked in the only iron pot was ready. Since there were only a few bowls, except for a few who had been diagnosed with problems by Qin Suiyou and were separated to use a separate bowl, the others took turns drinking the porridge.

Whether they had any problems or not, everyone looked satisfied. Even though they weren't completely full, because Qin Suiyou had bought the best rice, this was the best meal they had eaten in a long time. Some of them even shed tears while drinking.
