Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Lu Hu immediately ordered that no one should have any further contact with the villagers on the road.

Hopefully, this will effectively prevent infection.

Even so, Lu Hu was still somewhat alarmed, after all, it was the deadly plague.

Suddenly, he remembered that Lin Wanwan seemed to know medicine!

His gaze fell on Lin Wanwan, who was walking at the very back of the group.

Lu Hu had a new plan in mind!

He rode his horse to a place some distance away from Lin Wanwan.

He looked at her coldly and asked, "If the plague were to occur, are there any effective ways to prevent it?"

Lin Wanwan looked up and realized that he was indeed asking her a question.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes!"

Lu Hu was overjoyed: "What method is it?"

Lin Wanwan shook the chain on her wrist, her intentions were obvious.

Lu Hu pondered for a moment, then took out a key from his waist and threw it in front of Lin Wanwan.

"I hope your method works, otherwise..."

Lin Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Don't worry, as long as you follow my method, there's a high probability that nothing will happen."

After removing the chains from herself and her mother, Lin Wanwan frowned and said to Lu Hu.

"Our biggest problem right now is the lack of medicine."

Lu Hu was extremely anxious: "What should we do? It might be difficult for us to get into the city now!"

Not to mention that they are still four or five days' journey from Rongcheng, even if they arrive, they probably won't be able to enter the city smoothly.

Lin Wanwan pointed to some withered grass stalks in the woods and said, "These are mugwort stalks. Have someone prepare more of them when you are on the road."

Then, lighting it and using the smoke can effectively prevent the spread of plague.

Lu Hu was no stranger to this method; he just couldn't identify what the mugwort looked like.

"Okay, you point out the mugwort, and we'll take care of the rest!"

"I have one more request!"

Lu Hu frowned: "What is it?"

"I need medicine to dispel the cold, and I know Lord Lu must have some prepared."

My mother just caught a cold, but she needs to take medicine.

Medicines are expensive these days, even though Lin Wanwan solved a major problem for Lu Hu.

The other party still only gave one dose of medicine.

It's currently the dead of winter, otherwise Lin Wanwan wouldn't be so familiar with the medicinal properties.

We can gather some medicine along the way to treat my mother.

Lin Xiaoxiao, sitting in the carriage, also heard what was happening outside.

Lin Wanwan's approach was correct, but the plague in ancient times was exceptionally deadly.

Simple moxibustion may not be enough to completely control the situation.

After glancing at the mask in her hand, Lin Xiaoxiao decisively stepped out of the carriage.

Then he walked up to Lu Hu and said, "Lord Lu, if you want to effectively prevent the plague..."

You also need to cover your mouth and nose; this is the mask we designed.

Everyone can sew one like this to wear.

Lu Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, as he had already noticed that the Song family members were all wearing these so-called masks.

But I don't know what it does!

"Okay, everyone, did you hear that? Get to work and start sewing during your break."

Lin Wanwan glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was deliberately drawing attention to herself, and snorted coldly.

I know how to cover my mouth and nose, but I just forgot for a moment.

She couldn't resist and came over to show off.

But I don't know what's wrong with Qingyao lately.

When facing Lin Xiaoxiao, he suddenly became silent and stopped saying things that he himself was too embarrassed to say.

Lin Wanwan had no choice but to speak up herself: "Sister, really, you had such a good method but didn't tell me sooner!"

Those around Lin Xiaoxiao, who were initially grateful to her, began to complain after hearing this.

The Song family members had been wearing masks for several days, and they hadn't uttered a single word.

What if I contract the plague during this period?

"That's right, Miss Lin, why didn't you tell us about such a great idea?"

Faced with their questioning, Lin Xiaoxiao remained calm: "I'm afraid if I had told you then, you would have ridiculed me too!"

Since last time, I've learned that it's always good to have evidence for everything.

You all agree, right?

He recalled what he had said when Lin Xiaoxiao reminded them of the plague.

Everyone instantly felt their faces flush.

Although she still harbored resentment towards Lin Xiaoxiao for concealing the method of isolating the plague.

However, they dared not express it openly.

Lu Hu stepped forward to support Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Alright, regardless of what happened before, Miss Lin has still shown no resentment and told us the method, so we can't hold it against her anymore."

Everyone watched as Lu Hu fiercely defended Lin Xiaoxiao, and secretly sighed: Lin Xiaoxiao's dog training skills are superb.

Lin Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with Lu Hu's performance and handed him the mask in her hand.

"This is for Lord Lu. If anyone wants to learn from it, they can come to Lord Lu."

Four layers need to be stacked together during sewing to effectively prevent the spread of plague.

I didn't want to keep answering those people's questions; I told them to just go find Lu Hu.

During this period, Lu Hu ordered his men to find a lot of moxa sticks, and they would smoke them every night.

However, the closer they got to Fuzhou, the more refugees they encountered.

Most of them were emaciated whenever Lu Hu and his men passed by.

The refugees would stare intently at them.

Even though Lu Hu had a knife, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Although Lin Wanwan and Qiao Siyan had their chains removed, they still walked at the back of the group for safety.

They were some distance away from the group.

Their legs almost went weak under the stares of the refugees.

When he rested at night, Lu Hu even arranged for people to keep watch.

Fearing that they would be unable to enter the city to replenish supplies in the future, Lu Hu ordered that food be distributed only once a day.

Coupled with the arduous journey, the situation of the convicts was not much better than that of the refugees.

To avoid attracting attention, Lin Xiaoxiao stopped making strongly flavored foods.

But he still secretly heated up some steamed buns in the carriage and then put some beef inside them.

When the Song family asked about it, Song Wenjing brushed it off by saying it was his own arrangement.

Although they didn't say anything more, they knew that this was something Song Wenjing couldn't possibly do.

The beef sandwiched in the steamed bun was tender and delicious, just like it had been freshly cooked.

However, Xiaoxiao has her own secrets, and they won't pry into them.

Song Wanning and the others didn't bother to investigate the mystery; instead, they quickly devoured the steamed buns in their hands.

"Beautiful girl, please, give us some food!"

My husband and I haven't eaten for three days.

Suddenly, a woman with a sallow complexion and a thin figure stood not far from Lin Xiaoxiao, pleading for help.

Because of the control by the yamen runners, she could not get close.

After accidentally making eye contact with her, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly looked away.

Lin Xiaoxiao's indifference greatly disappointed the woman.

Lin Wanwan was furious after seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's actions: "Isn't my sister too cold-blooded? You eat so well, why can't you give some to that older sister?"

Lin Xiaoxiao gave her a cold look: "If you're kind-hearted, then go and save them yourself, but you'd better think about the consequences!"

Lin Wanwan scoffed at Lin Xiaoxiao's threats.

The other party is just a pitiful woman, how much danger could she be in?

She took out the steamed buns she had just bought from Lu Hu and handed them to the woman.

She said softly, "Sister, you can take this steamed bun with you!"

The woman was thrilled to receive the steamed bun and expressed her deep gratitude to Lin Wanwan before leaving.

After seeing this, Lin Wanwan gave Lin Xiaoxiao a provocative look.

It's as if it's saying: Look! What happened?

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't argue with her and continued doing what she was doing.

Just as Lin Wanwan was feeling smug about her choice.

Suddenly, she realized that a large number of refugees had gathered around her.

The woman who had just received the steamed bun stood behind the refugees.

Pointing at Lin Wanwan, he said, "This is the girl. She gave me the steamed bun out of kindness."

After being startled, Lin Wanwan thought that she had brought her family to thank her.

But to his surprise, all of them knelt down in front of him.
