"Dr. Yu, don't worry. I happen to know a prescription for treating the plague. You can take it back and try it!" Shen Man said to Dr. Yu when she saw his desperate expression.

"What? Man'er, you actually know the prescription for treating the plague? Quickly, tell me!" Doctor Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and urged her immediately.

"This prescription requires quite a few medicinal herbs, so it would be better if you wrote them down on paper," Shen Man said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, Shun'er, quickly go to the carriage and fetch the paper and pen!"

After Dr. Yu took the paper and pen, Shen Man carefully read out the prescription.

"This prescription requires 3 qian of Forsythia suspensa, 2 qian of Bupleurum chinense, 2 qian of Pueraria lobata, 5 qian of Rehmannia glutinosa, 1.5 qian of Angelica sinensis, 3 qian of Paeonia lactiflora, 8 qian of Prunus persica, 5 qian of Carthamus tinctorius, 1 qian of Magnolia officinalis, 2 qian of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, 1.5 liang of Sappanwood, and 1 liang of Gypsum, for a total of 12 herbs."

After the doctor had noted it down, Shen Man added, "Although this prescription can treat the plague, it also depends on the patient's specific condition. If there are any abnormalities, it needs to be adjusted in time."

Doctor Yu nodded repeatedly, tears of gratitude streaming down his face: "Thank you so much, Man'er. If this prescription can really cure the plague, you will be the savior of all the people of Chiyan Kingdom. I will rush back to town now and treat the patient according to this prescription."

After saying this, Doctor Yu took the prescription and prepared to leave.

"Dr. Yu, please wait... I also know a prescription for preventing plague, I'll give it to you as well."

"Okay, go ahead and say it!"

"This preventative formula is called Silver Honey Peace Drink. Use two parts of nine-sectioned calamus and six mace of honeysuckle stamens, decoct them in a water cup, drink one-third first, and then add honey to the remaining two-thirds and drink it."

Why take it first and then again? There is a method or principle within it.

First, take calamus and honeysuckle to open the internal orifices and dispel foulness. However, calamus is too drying and should not be taken in large quantities. Add honey before taking to moisten dryness and detoxify.

"Okay, I've noted it all down. By the way, Man'er, if you have time, you can go up the mountain and collect more of these dozen or so herbs. Recently, many people have been infected with this disease, and medicinal materials will definitely be in short supply. If you can collect more, you'll definitely be able to sell them for a good price!"

“Okay, I’ve got it,” Shen Man replied.

Doctor Yu nodded and hurriedly left with Shun'er.

Shen Man pondered in her heart that these herbs were indeed in high demand. If she could collect more, she could not only help more people, but also supplement her family's income.

We recently built a new house, and with the Lunar New Year celebrations, we've almost run out of money.

Now that she has such a great opportunity to make money, she naturally wants to seize it.

Shen Man went to the backyard and found Lanxiang feeding the chickens. She told her about her plan to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

After hearing this, Lanxiang thought that the snow on the mountain should have melted by now, so she readily agreed.

"Man'er, let's go up the mountain to gather herbs tomorrow. Let's bring along anyone from the village who wants to go. It might sound a bit unethical, but it's a rare opportunity to make money."

"Okay, I'll go tell Grandpa Village Head in a bit and ask him to inform the villagers."

Meanwhile, Doctor Yu rode back to Qiufeng Town at full speed and went straight to the clinic as soon as he got off the carriage.

He handed the two prescriptions to the pharmacy clerk and said urgently, "Quick! Get the medicine ready right away!"

The shop assistant took the prescription, glanced at it, and immediately got to work. Fortunately, the pharmacy already had all the medicinal herbs listed on the prescription.

The workers were quick and efficient; in less than fifteen minutes, all the medicinal herbs were prepared.

Doctor Yu dared not delay and personally took the medicinal herbs to the kitchen to prepare them. He carefully controlled the heat and time, afraid of making the slightest mistake.

Finally, an hour later, the medicine was ready. Doctor Yu carried the bowl of medicine to the ward. He gently helped the man sit up and slowly fed him the medicine.

Although the man was still very weak, he still cooperated and drank all the medicine.

Doctor Yu stayed by his bedside, closely observing his reactions.

That evening, a miracle occurred. The patient's complexion began to regain its rosy hue, his breathing became much more stable, and his condition showed significant improvement.

Doctor Yu was overjoyed, knowing that the prescription given by Shen Man was indeed effective.

Early the next morning, Doctor Yu informed the other doctors in the clinic of the news and sent someone directly to the government office to hand over the two prescriptions that Shen Man had given him to the prefect, so that more lives could be saved.

Lu Yuan, the prefect of the border town, has been so anxious these past few days trying to contain the epidemic that he has developed blisters on his lips.

He never expected that the epidemic, which started in Qingyang County, would spread to the entire prefecture in just a few days, with many people contracting the disease and their lives hanging by a thread.

In response, none of the doctors in the prefecture's clinics were able to find a suitable treatment plan, and even Xu Jing, the renowned physician of Lin County, was helpless this time.

Lu Yuan frowned, his face full of worry, pacing back and forth in the study.

He knew that if this epidemic couldn't be controlled, losing his job was a minor matter; he might even lose his life. His whole family lived here, how could he not be anxious!

Just then, a constable rushed over to report: "Sir, the Yu family medical clinic in Qiufeng Town has sent two prescriptions, one for treating the epidemic and the other for preventing it!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, bring me those two prescriptions so I can take a look!"

The constable obeyed and left. Before long, he returned to Lu Yuan with two pieces of paper.

Lu Yuan took the prescription, read it carefully, and was overjoyed. The prescription listed the ingredients and usage of various medicinal materials in detail, and it looked very effective.

He immediately ordered the clerks in the yamen to make hundreds of copies of each of the two prescriptions and sent people to distribute them to all the counties under his jurisdiction.

At the same time, he ordered local officials to strictly follow the prescriptions to prepare medicines and to do their utmost to treat the sick people.

Officials from various regions who received the prescriptions dared not neglect them and promptly prepared the medicines and decoctions for the people to take.

Thanks to their efforts, the epidemic was gradually brought under control, the symptoms of the sick began to ease, and the death toll was greatly reduced.

Qiufeng Town became famous overnight for sending out two effective prescriptions.

People were filled with gratitude for the Yu family medical clinic that had provided the prescription, praising the doctors there as divine healers descended from heaven.

According to careful inquiries by interested individuals, the person who provided the prescription was none other than Yu Zhong, the head doctor of Yu's Medical Clinic.

The news spread quickly, and Doctor Yu's name soon became known throughout the entire border town, making him a famous figure.

Many of his colleagues even traveled from afar to visit him and ask him for medical advice.

They hoped to learn more knowledge and experience from him to improve their medical skills.

Meanwhile, Yu's Medical Clinic also gained widespread fame because of this incident. Patients flocked to it for treatment, and business was booming.

Doctor Yu's superb medical skills and noble character have won widespread recognition and praise, making him a legendary doctor in the hearts of the people of Biancheng Prefecture.

Prefect Lu Yuan also highly praised and affirmed the great contribution made by the Yu Family Medical Clinic.

He specially sent someone to deliver a gold-inlaid plaque inscribed with "Miraculous Physician Who Saves the World" to commend Doctor Yu's outstanding achievements.

In addition, a thousand taels of silver were awarded as a reward to the medical clinic.
