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

Tracing the origins of the epidemic, those who make false accusations are in a panic.

Outside the tents where supplies were stored, a crowd gathered, and a cacophony of noise rose and fell.

Su Yunlan pushed through the crowd, and a musty, rotten smell hit her, making her stomach churn.

Inside the tent, the once neatly stacked grain sacks were torn apart, the grain scattered all over the ground, crawling with insects and ants, and emitting a nauseating smell.

Some medicinal herbs were also not spared; they were soaked in water and completely rotted.

Su Yunlan felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

These supplies were not only essential for the survival of the exiled team, but also something she had carefully prepared.

She knew this was no accident, but rather something someone had deliberately done to cause her trouble, or even to kill them.

who is it?

Why do this?

Su Yunlan's

"Dr. Su, what... what should we do?" Hunter Chen stamped his feet anxiously, his rugged face full of worry.

Everyone else also looked at Su Yunlan.

Just then, Magistrate Wu and his advisor squeezed through the crowd. Magistrate Wu sighed with feigned distress, "Alas, what a pity for these supplies! Doctor Su, didn't you say you could guarantee the safety of the supplies? What happened?"

Master Ma immediately chimed in, "Yes, Doctor Su, could the destruction of these supplies be related to the previous epidemic? Could it be... could it be that someone deliberately did this to cover something up..." He deliberately dragged out his words and gave Su Yunlan a meaningful look.

The surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves, and some people who were unaware of the truth also began to look at Su Yunlan with suspicion.

Su Yunlan felt the strange looks coming from those around her, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.

Instead of immediately offering an explanation, she walked over to the damaged medicinal herbs, squatted down, and examined them closely.

A pungent musty smell made her frown.

She reached out and picked up some rotten herbs, smelled them, and her eyes gradually sharpened.

“Lord Wu, Master Ma, do you say the damage to these supplies is related to the epidemic?” Su Yunlan slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Magistrate Wu and Master Ma.

A cold smile appeared on her lips. "In that case, why don't we go and see what those sick people have been in contact with before?"

Ignoring Magistrate Wu's questioning, Su Yunlan turned to Feng's mother and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did the child eat and where did he go before he got sick?"

The woman's face was sallow and she looked haggard. When she heard Su Yunlan's question, she tried hard to recall, "The child... ate some wild vegetables and... drank water from the river."

"The water by the river?" Su Yunlan's eyes sharpened. "Which river?"

The woman pointed to the east side of the village, "That's the little river. We usually go there to fetch water."

Su Yunlan immediately led Hunter Chen to the stream.

The river water was murky and emitted a faint fishy smell.

Su Yunlan squatted down and carefully observed the river water, discovering some unidentified black particles floating on the surface.

She scooped up some water with her hands, brought it to her nose, and smelled it. A pungent odor made her frown.

"Brother Chen, smell this water."

Hunter Chen also took a sniff, and his expression immediately changed. "This water... there's something strange about it!"

Su Yunlan used a clean cloth she carried with her to filter some river water and carefully observed the residue on the cloth.

Back at the camp, Su Yunlan showed the filtered residue to everyone, saying, "This water contains a lot of decaying matter, which is the source of the epidemic."

Magistrate Wu's expression changed, but he forced himself to remain calm. "This...this doesn't prove anything. Perhaps it was caused by other reasons."

Su Yunlan sneered, "Lord Wu, isn't this river the one behind the tents where supplies are stored? If I remember correctly, the drainage ditch behind the tents has been in disrepair for years, and sewage may have seeped into the river."

Magistrate Wu was speechless, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Master Ma was also pale, his eyes darting around, and he dared not look directly into Su Yunlan's gaze.

Su Yunlan looked around at everyone, her tone firm, "This epidemic is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one! Someone deliberately sabotaged supplies and polluted water sources; their intentions are sinister!" She paused, her gaze sharp, "I'm sure everyone already knows who it is."

Xiao Yuhan looked at Su Yunlan, whose clear, cool eyes shone with wisdom, like a guiding star in the night.

He admired her composure and respected her decisiveness.

At this moment, she is not only his wife, but also his strongest support.

He walked up to her, reached out, and held her hand tightly.

Su Yunlan felt the warmth and strength in his palm, looked up at him, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, he would be there to support her.

Those around them were touched by their silent understanding and deep affection, and they all looked on with envy.

Although the source of the disease has been found, water pollution remains a huge problem.

Su Yunlan looked at the patients lying on the ground, their faces pale and their breaths weak, and her heart was filled with worry.

Under the rudimentary medical conditions, the medicine she had seemed so insignificant, utterly inadequate to cope with this large-scale epidemic.

She thought of the abundant medical supplies in the space, but couldn't easily retrieve them. This sense of powerlessness made her feel deeply depressed.

A breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness, and the surrounding air seemed to grow heavy.

The sounds of patients groaning in pain were like a boulder pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Yuhan, the situation here is worse than I imagined." Su Yunlan lowered her head slightly, her voice tinged with weariness.

Xiao Yuhan sensed her low spirits and tightened his grip on her hand.

"Don't worry, I'll work with you to figure something out." His tone was firm yet gentle, like a warm current flowing into her heart, making her feel a little at ease.

Just then, Doctor Qian's sarcastic voice rang out: "Oh dear, Doctor Su, the river is so polluted, it seems your medical skills are nothing special. This illness is probably incurable, isn't it?" A gloating smile played on his lips.

Su Yunlan ignored Doctor Qian's provocation, looked up at the sky, and said in a low voice, "It's going to rain."

Large raindrops pelted down, and in an instant, the world was shrouded in a curtain of rain.

The crowd immediately erupted into chaos, scrambling to find shelter from the rain.

Su Yunlan seemed oblivious to the coldness of the rain, her gaze fixed on the churning river, her mind racing.

Back in the tent, Su Yunlan took out several pieces of activated charcoal, fine sand, and pebbles from her spatial storage, and also found a few clean cloths and an empty wooden bucket.

Everyone looked at her with puzzlement, not understanding what she was going to do.

Su Yunlan didn't explain, but silently drilled a few small holes in the bottom of the wooden bucket, and then layered fine sand, pebbles, activated carbon and clean cloth to make a simple filtration device.

She poured the murky river water into the wooden bucket, and the water slowly seeped down, dripping from the small hole at the bottom into another clean container.

At first, the dripping water was still somewhat murky, but as time went on, the water gradually became clearer.

The onlookers held their breath, their eyes glued to the scene.

When they saw the clear water flowing from the bottom of the wooden bucket, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Hunter Chen slapped his thigh hard and shouted excitedly, "It's done! Doctor Su is truly amazing!"

The others echoed this sentiment, their gazes towards Su Yunlan filled with admiration.

Even those who had previously doubted her were now completely convinced of her worth.

Magistrate Wu stood to the side, his face ashen, without uttering a word. He hadn't expected that Su Yunlan could actually purify the polluted river water, which completely ruined his original plan.

Doctor Qian hid behind the crowd, watching Su Yunlan being surrounded by people, his eyes flashing with jealousy.

He gritted his teeth, secretly resentful: Why is she, a woman, so respected?

I am not satisfied!

He quietly took out a paper packet from his pocket and, when no one was looking, sprinkled the powder inside into the purified water bucket.

After doing all this, he quickly left the crowd, a sinister smile on his face.

As night fell, the rain gradually stopped.

Looking at the clear water in the bucket, Su Yunlan finally showed a relieved smile on her tired face.

She picked up the ladle, scooped up a ladleful of water, and was about to take a sip when she suddenly smelled a faint, strange odor.

Her expression changed, and she suddenly splashed the water from the ladle onto the ground.

“This water…” Su Yunlan’s voice was low and solemn, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Xiao Yuhan noticed her unusual behavior and immediately went to her side, asking with concern, "What's wrong?"

Su Yunlan did not answer, but instead scooped up another ladle of water, brought it to her nose, and smelled it carefully.

This time, the odor was even more pronounced.

"This water has been tampered with."
