A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

While Yang Mo was cooking porridge, Qin Suiyou gave him a small packet of medicinal powder to mix into the porridge. Now that they were cooking another pot for someone in another room, Qin Suiyou gave him a new packet.

"elder brother."

Qin Suiyou stood outside, looking at the prescription he had received from Yang Qing. Suddenly, a childish voice came from beside him. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the little girl who had been the first person he had seen earlier.

Qin Suiyou squatted down and looked at the little girl gently.

"What's wrong little sister?"

Seeing Qin Suiyou speaking to her so gently, the little girl blinked a few times and said, "Brother, I have a very good friend in that room."

Seeing the little girl point to a wooden house a little further away, Qin Suiyou glanced at it and said, "I'll go over there to treat them later, so you don't need to worry about your friend."

However, the little girl didn't mention the treatment. After Qin Suiyou finished speaking, she whispered, "Brother gave us candy just now, can she have some too?"

Qin Suiyou raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Of course, she will."

Seeing the little girl grin happily, Qin Suiyou asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl replied, "My name is Xiaohua, and my friend's name is Cuicui."

"Okay, I'll remember. Go inside and keep your mother company. I'll go check on Cuicui for you in a bit."

Xiaohua nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, brother. You're so kind. This is for you."

After saying that, he stuffed something into Qin Suiyou's hand and ran into the wooden house.

Qin Suiyou opened his hand, looked at the delicate but somewhat old silk flower on it, and a faint smile spread across his face.

Children don't have many complex thoughts. They really want to share the things they think are good with their best friends, in addition to their parents and relatives. This is a very simple kind of love.

The patient isolated in another room was indeed in much more serious condition than the one Qin Suiyou had just diagnosed. One elderly man was almost completely immobile, and in his weak breaths, he said, "Don't worry about me anymore, don't waste my life..."

After gesturing for Yang Mo and Yang Qing, who had led the way, to stay outside, Qin Suiyou was about to go inside when Yang Qing asked worriedly, "Young Master Qin, are you really going to go in like this?"

Qin Suiyou: "I have my own measures to prevent infection, so you don't need to worry. But you should still stay outside."

After saying that, Qin Suiyou and Beitang Yan opened the door and went inside.

The room was dimmer than the one from before, and occasional coughs could be heard.

Yang Mo had already explained the situation to the people inside from outside, and they didn't react much when someone came in.

After looking around, Qin Suiyou reached into his bag and took out a luminous pearl, placing it on the cabinet next to him under Beitang Yan's disapproving gaze.

Then, Qin Suiyou began the examination.

During the process, several elderly people would say from time to time, "If there's no hope, then don't persist. We've lived long enough, let's not hold others back."

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou said directly, "With my help, as long as it doesn't reach a point of no return, I can help you get through this difficult time."

The old man, whose vision was already failing, looked at the person examining him. He could tell from the voice that it was a young man, and finally burst into laughter.

"Haha, you young man have quite the courage! We all know that the young man in our village is skilled in medicine. Even the imperial physicians in the palace probably can't compare to him. And he doesn't have the same confidence as you."

After reviewing Yang Qing's prescription and learning more about it, Qin Suiyou realized that, at least in terms of preventing and treating epidemics, Yang Qing's skills were far more advanced than those of the imperial physicians. No wonder these elderly people had such high confidence in and evaluation of him.

"Yang Qing is indeed a remarkable doctor."

Hearing Qin Suiyou agree with him, the old man smiled proudly, then seemed to breathe rapidly for a while, as if exhausted.

The patient in the most serious condition was Qin Suiyou. After asking Beitang Yan to bring a disposable needle kit, Qin Suiyou first gave the old man a few acupuncture needles.

After reviewing the most serious cases, Qin Suiyou's gaze settled on the smallest figure beside him. When they came in, this little guy seemed to be helping the elderly person drink water.

Are you Cui Cui?

The small figure moved slightly, taking a few steps closer to Qin Suiyou, and asked in a voice somewhat hoarse from illness, "How do you know me?"

Qin Suiyou smiled and said, "I just came from the wooden house over there. I met your good friend Xiaohua, and she asked me to give you this candy."

After handing candy to the little girl who was a bit thinner and smaller than Xiaohua, Qin Suiyou said, "Let me check you out."

Upon hearing her best friend's name, Cuicui smiled and asked, "Is she alright?"

"She's fine, not sick, just very worried about you."

Because they were afraid that the children were too weak to resist, the adults there kept the children away from the vicinity of this house. Cui Cui's parents were unable to escape the village. On the way, Xiao Hua's mother took care of her. However, after she got sick, she didn't talk to Xiao Hua much. When Xiao Hua wanted to secretly come to see her, she would hide away.

After Qin Suiyou's examination, a very simple conclusion was reached: perhaps it was the adults' care for the children, or perhaps it was the special nature of the virus they were infected with, that made it very difficult for the children to get sick. Cui Cui was the only child among them, but her condition was relatively mild, and she also took on the responsibility of caring for the other patients.

After the entire check-up was completed, Qin Suiyou asked Yang Mo to bring in the cooked porridge. He and Beitang Yan carried it in together, and Qin Suiyou even helped feed the children who were already unable to move around easily.

After finishing, Qin Suiyou went out and asked Yang Mo, "Are you all here?"

Yang Mo replied, "Many people in the city were unwilling to leave, and another person from the city we met did not trust Yang Qing or us. They separated and left when we were almost at Yejing. So now there are only forty surviving people from our village."

Qin Suiyou nodded and then said, "We have a basic understanding of their situation. They are indeed infected with an epidemic, but it is not like the plague with a high mortality rate, and it is not as contagious. I have given medicine to the few people in your room who were diagnosed with symptoms. As long as they eat separately and do not get too close to each other, there will be no major problems. The cure rate here is also very high. I gave them acupuncture directly, and their condition has been temporarily stabilized."

As he spoke, Qin Suiyou beckoned Chen Xiaodong over and said to Yang Mo and Yang Qing, "Tomorrow I will have him bring people and medicines over. Someone will guide you through the next stage of treatment. I will return to the city in a little while and come back in a few days."

They were overjoyed to hear only good news. However, before Qin Suiyou left, Yang Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "You haven't examined me yet."

Because Yang Mo was cooking porridge while Qin Suiyou was inspecting, and then she was distributing porridge to everyone in bowls, she wasn't inspected by Qin Suiyou.

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou curled his lips into a smile.

"Actually, I was just trying to scare you this morning. You just caught a cold. There's ginger in the field over there. Go pick some and boil it in water to drink."

Following the direction Qin Suiyou pointed, Yang Mo's lips twitched involuntarily.
