Just then, a soft creak was heard, and the door was slowly pushed open, revealing a petite figure who slipped in. She blinked her large, watery eyes, curiously surveying the courtyard, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Sister, what's going on here? And who is this?"

Wan'er composed herself and recounted everything that had happened to the little girl. When the little girl learned that General Jin had been able to see through the woman's illness at a glance, her face lit up with a joyful smile. She rushed to General Jin and said sweetly, "My lord, please treat my lady quickly!"

However, Jin Shuai reacted like a frightened cat, instantly bristling and roaring at the top of his lungs, "Don't come near me! Stand still! Stop right there!" His voice was deafening, as if it could pierce through the clouds.

The little girl was clearly startled and obediently stopped, not daring to move forward an inch. Seeing this, Jin Shuai breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to Wan'er, urging, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go find the doctor! There's still medicine."

Before he finished speaking, a group of attendants filed in, each carrying various items, and went straight to Jin Shuai. Jin Shuai casually took the wine jar handed to him by one of the attendants, but the moment he lifted the lid, he was stunned—what appeared before him was a jar of bright yellow rice wine!

"What the hell?! I specifically told you to buy baijiu (Chinese liquor), why did you bring me a jar of huangjiu (yellow wine)?" Jin Shuai asked unhappily.

The attendant looked completely innocent and pitifully explained, "I had no choice. I searched several restaurants but couldn't find the kind of baijiu you're talking about... Since I couldn't find it, I had no choice but to buy this huangjiu..."

"Good heavens! The Song Dynasty didn't have baijiu (Chinese liquor)? Quickly place mugwort in every corner of the courtyard and light it. After the flames die down, use the smoke to fumigate the courtyard." After giving these urgent instructions, Jin Shuai quickly tore off a piece of his undergarment and wrapped it around his mouth and nose like a mask. He then gestured to his attendants to do the same. Afterward, he ordered someone to hand a jar of vinegar to the little girl and instructed her to boil it and deliver it to the room where the sick woman was.

Upon receiving the order, the attendants and the young girl immediately busied themselves. About half an hour later, Wan'er led a middle-aged man carrying a medicine chest through the courtyard gate. As soon as they stepped inside, they were shocked by the billowing smoke before them. Jin Shuai's peculiar mask further puzzled Wan'er. Just as she was about to approach him to inquire, she heard Jin Shuai shout, "Don't come any closer! Stand over there and talk!"

"My lord, what is the meaning of this?" Wan'er looked at Jin Shuai with a blank expression.

"Disinfect," Jin Shuai said.

At this moment, the doctor standing nearby could no longer contain his curiosity and asked, "Young man, what is 'disinfection'?"

Jin Shuai frowned slightly and explained, "Disinfection means eliminating all kinds of harmful toxins. Do you even know how to treat a doctor? How can you treat chickenpox like a common cold or fever!"

"Chickenpox, what is chickenpox, and what causes it?" the doctor asked curiously.
