Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

The truth is out, the epidemic has ended and the patients have recovered.

Su Yunlan frowned as she looked at the new symptoms of the disease.

She knew that the situation was far more complicated than she had imagined.

The patient's body temperature suddenly rose, breathing became rapid, pulse was weak, and there was blood in the sputum.

All of this foreshadows a mutation in the disease, and she must find the cause as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

"How could this happen..." Su Yunlan's voice trembled slightly, but she didn't have time to think about it.

She immediately ordered her assistant, "Quickly, collect all the patients' samples. I need to examine them carefully!" Her words were firm and powerful, filled with an unquestionable determination.

The exiles around watched Su Yunlan's busy figure. A sense of oppression filled the air in the camp, as if a storm was about to break.

Su Yunlan's heart raced, but she did not back down.

She began to examine each patient more carefully, noting every symptom and every detail.

She gently placed her hand on the patient's pulse, feeling the faint beat, carefully observing the patient's complexion and breathing, and even hearing the patient's every gasp.

Just then, Dr. Qian saw Su Yunlan's efforts, and jealousy gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, wondering why a woman's medical skills were so superb, while he could only stand in a corner and be treated coldly.

However, this scene did not escape the eyes of Hunter Chen.

Hunter Chen was a generous but somewhat reckless man, and he was always dissatisfied with Doctor Qian's jealousy.

Seeing that Doctor Qian had secretly sabotaged Su Yunlan's herbs, he immediately flew into a rage, grabbed Doctor Qian by the collar, and lifted him up with force.

"You bastard, how dare you ruin Doctor Su's herbs!" Hunter Chen roared, his facial muscles contorted with rage.

The doctor was so frightened by the sudden attack that he turned pale. He struggled desperately, but the hunter Chen was too strong and he could not escape.

"Hunter Chen, stop!" Su Yunlan's voice suddenly rang out. She rushed over and forcefully pulled Hunter Chen's hand away.

Although Chen the hunter was furious, he still obeyed Su Yunlan's words and released Doctor Qian.

“Dr. Su, he…” Chen the hunter wanted to say something, but Su Yunlan interrupted him.

“I know, I understand.” Su Yunlan’s expression was cold. She turned to Doctor Qian, her eyes filled with a chill. “You will pay the price for your actions.” Although her words were calm, each one was like a sharp sword, piercing Doctor Qian’s heart.

Doctor Qian's face turned even paler. He lowered his head, not daring to meet Su Yun's gaze.

Su Yunlan turned around and continued her work.

"Yuhan, we need more medicinal herbs." Su Yunlan's voice was firm.

Xiao Yuhan took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and a hint of appreciation and determination flashed in his eyes.

He held Su Yunlan's hand tightly, "I will find all the medicinal herbs for you, no matter how difficult it is."

Their eyes met, and a sense of determination and hope filled the air.

However, at that moment, Master Ma suddenly squeezed out from the crowd with a sinister smile on his face.

"Dr. Su, can you really control this epidemic? I wonder if you're just putting on a show to gain fame?" Master Ma's tone was full of provocation and skepticism. His eyes swept across the crowd, as if searching for supporters.

Su Yunlan's gaze turned cold. She slowly raised her hand and pointed at Master Ma, "You dare to question my medical skills? I will let the facts speak for themselves. And you will pay the price for your reckless words."

Master Ma's face turned pale and then red. He took a step back, but Su Yunlan's gaze had already turned to a more distant place. She had only one thought in her mind: she must find the true source of the epidemic as soon as possible and save these helpless exiles.

"No matter what, I will not back down." Su Yunlan's voice was firm, and her eyes shone with determination.

Xiao Yuhan held her hand tightly, and the two of them stood out resolutely in the crowd.

At this moment, all the hardships and challenges transformed into the driving force for their progress.

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yuhan's eyes, and he suddenly grabbed Qian Langzhong's arm and twisted it forcefully.

With a scream, Dr. Qian was thrown heavily to the ground, wincing in pain and drenched in cold sweat.

"If you dare to disrespect Yunlan again, it won't be as simple as just breaking your arm!" Xiao Yuhan's voice was icy cold, like a block of ice, making the people around him shiver.

The physician was so intimidated by Xiao Yuhan's imposing presence that he trembled with fear and dared not utter a sound. He could only groan on the ground, clutching his arm.

Xiao Yuhan's strong defense warmed Su Yunlan's heart. She glanced at him gratefully before turning back to her research on the epidemic.

She carefully observed the patient's new symptoms and smelled the peculiar odor in the air; a sense of unease welled up in her heart.

This smell...

It smells familiar, like something I've smelled before.

Su Yunlan flipped through the medical books she had taken out of her spatial storage, carefully comparing the symptoms page by page.

Suddenly, she abruptly raised her head. This symptom was remarkably similar to a rare infectious disease recorded in modern medicine!

The transmission route of this disease is...

source of water!

Thinking of this, Su Yunlan immediately got up and ran towards the water source in the camp.

The water source was a stream behind the camp. The water was crystal clear and seemed normal.

Su Yunlan squatted down, scooped up a handful of stream water, and brought it to her nose to smell it.

A faint, almost imperceptible odor entered my nostrils—it was this smell!

Su Yunlan's heart sank suddenly; she realized that this was the root of the problem.

She immediately collected some stream water samples, intending to take them back for careful testing.

Just then, she felt dizzy and her vision began to blur.

She staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Su Yunlan was startled; she realized that she might also have been infected with the disease.

She endured her physical discomfort, packed the water sample, and turned to walk towards the camp.

"Yunlan, what's wrong?" Xiao Yuhan saw that Su Yunlan's face was pale and her steps were unsteady, and a bad feeling immediately rose in his heart.

Su Yunlan forced a smile, "I'm fine..." Before she could finish speaking, everything went black and she collapsed to the ground.

"Yunlan!" Xiao Yuhan exclaimed, rushing forward to hug Su Yunlan tightly.

Xiao Yuhan carried Su Yunlan back to the tent and gently placed her on the dry grass that had been laid out.

He touched Su Yunlan's burning forehead, his heart filled with anxiety.

An unprecedented fear gripped his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He held Su Yunlan's hand tightly, feeling her faint pulse, as if he were holding his entire life.

He gently wiped Su Yunlan's cheeks and forehead with a damp cloth, his movements as tender as if he were handling a precious piece of porcelain.

The tent was eerily quiet, with only Su Yunlan's faint breathing and Xiao Yuhan's tense heartbeat mingling together.

Time passes by minute by minute, and every second seems as long as a century.

While unconscious, Su Yunlan felt as if she were in a sea of ​​fire, her body burning unbearably.

She struggled to wake up, but couldn't open her eyes no matter what she did.

In her daze, she felt a warm, large hand holding hers tightly, and a familiar scent surrounded her, bringing her comfort and strength.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yunlan finally slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yuhan's anxious face, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She gave a weak smile, "I'm fine..."

When Xiao Yuhan saw Su Yunlan wake up, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He hugged Su Yunlan tightly, his voice hoarse, "You scared me to death..."

Su Yunlan gently patted Xiao Yuhan's back, comforting him, "Don't worry, I'm alright." Remembering what happened before she fainted, she struggled to sit up, "Water...water source..."

Xiao Yuhan quickly helped Su Yunlan up, "What do you want to say?"

Su Yunlan took a deep breath and told Xiao Yuhan what she had discovered before she lost consciousness.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan's face immediately turned gloomy.

He immediately realized that this was a deliberate conspiracy.

“Magistrate Wu! It must be them!” Xiao Yuhan said through gritted teeth.

Su Yunlan nodded, and she asked Xiao Yuhan to bring out the water samples she had collected earlier so she could examine them carefully.

The water sample did indeed contain a special microorganism, which was the cause of the outbreak.

"Just as I thought..." Su Yunlan murmured to herself.

Xiao Yuhan felt heartbroken seeing Su Yunlan's weak state.

He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fury. "I'm going to settle the score with them right now!"

Su Yunlan grabbed Xiao Yuhan, "Wait, we need more evidence."

Despite her physical discomfort, Su Yunlan began to carefully analyze the microorganisms in the water sample.

She discovered that this microorganism required a special nutrient to grow, and this nutrient happened to be found in spoiled food.

"I know!" Su Yunlan suddenly said, "The source of these microorganisms must be spoiled food!"

Xiao Yuhan immediately understood Su Yunlan's meaning.

He remembered the batch of food that Magistrate Wu and others had secretly hidden, and the answer immediately came to him.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

The two arrived at the place where Magistrate Wu and others had hidden food, and a pungent, putrid stench hit them.

They opened the package and found that all the food inside had spoiled and was crawling with maggots.

"It really was them!" Xiao Yuhan was furious.

Su Yunlan brought the spoiled food and water samples back to the camp and revealed the truth to everyone.

The conspiracy of Magistrate Wu and his advisor Ma was completely exposed, revealing their ugly faces.

The exiles were outraged and condemned the evil deeds of Magistrate Wu and his advisor, Master Ma.

Magistrate Wu and his advisor Ma were ashen-faced; they had never imagined their conspiracy would be exposed so thoroughly.

"Now, what else do you have to say?" Su Yunlan's voice was icy, like a judgment from hell.

Magistrate Wu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word...

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yunlan calmly began preparing the antidote.

She took out precious medicinal herbs from her spatial storage with fluid, graceful movements, as if performing a sacred ritual.

The medicinal herbs were ground and mixed in her hands, emitting a refreshing fragrance that dispelled the oppressive atmosphere in the camp.

She distributed the prepared medicine to each of the sick exiles and carefully instructed them on how to take the medicine.

The effects of the medicine were immediate. Patients who were originally on the verge of death gradually regained their rosy complexion and their breathing became steady after taking the medicine.

The coughing gradually subsided, and the painful groans disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief and gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

The camp was filled with laughter and joy for a time.

The exiles knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yunlan, thanking her for saving their lives.

They revered Su Yunlan as a deity, and Hunter Chen excitedly shouted, "Divine Doctor Su, you are truly our savior! From now on, if anyone dares to say a bad word about you, I, Hunter Chen, will be the first to object!"

Even those who initially had doubts about Su Yunlan were now completely impressed by her medical skills.

They all put aside their grudges and sincerely expressed their gratitude to Su Yunlan.

Doctor Qian was utterly humiliated. He had originally thought he could take advantage of this epidemic to trample Su Yunlan underfoot, but he never expected to end up like this.

He hid in a corner, watching Su Yunlan being adored by the crowd, his heart filled with resentment and regret.

As the sun gradually set in the west, it painted the horizon a golden-red hue.

In the campsite, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys, and the aroma of food filled the air, creating a warm and harmonious scene accompanied by the laughter of the people.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of surviving the ordeal, a sudden voice broke the tranquility.

A yamen runner responsible for delivering messages walked over with a solemn expression, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"By order of our superiors, all exiles shall set off immediately to..." The constable paused, seemingly reluctant to speak, "...to the Northern Cold Abyss."

Everyone's smiles froze on their faces, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

The Northern Cold Abyss is a notoriously harsh and cold place where even survival is a problem.

Having just survived an epidemic and barely had time to catch their breath, they now face new challenges, casting a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Upon hearing this news, Su Yunlan's heart tightened. She glanced at Xiao Yuhan without showing any emotion, but saw his...
