“Girl, are you crazy? You’re not even sure what plague it is. Aren’t you afraid of contracting it?”

The old doctor was shocked and looked at Su Xiaolu in surprise.

He doubted Su Xiaolu’s ability and despised her ability. However, Su Xiaolu’s calmness and determination proved that she was the divine doctor’s disciple. Old Wu’s shadow was in her.

Even this crazy behavior seemed to be carved from the same mold as Old Wu.

Constable Zhu frowned. “Doctor Su, this is too dangerous. You should think about it again.”

All the doctors in the Ji s.h.i.+ Hall were stunned by Su Xiaolu. They did not even dare to think about dissecting the corpses of the infected patients.

Ever since they found out that it was a plague, they had taken precautions. They washed their clothes and the food in their mouths had to be cleaned. Su Xiaolu wanted to touch what they avoided. How did she dare?

Su Xiaolu said without hesitation, “I’ve already thought about it. I can’t see anything from the surface anymore. Dissection must be done.”

As for being afraid, Su Xiaolu had never considered it.

“Girl, you’re young, but you’re impressive. Dissect, and I’ll help you.”

The old doctor stroked his beard and looked at Su Xiaolu.

As soon as the old doctor spoke, Hong Zheng immediately said, “Master, how can you do that? It’s such a dangerous matter. Let me do it.”

“Master, let me, let me…”

“Master, I…”

For a moment, the other doctors also spoke up.

The old doctor was the backbone of Ji s.h.i.+ Hall. How could they let him do such a dangerous thing?

The old doctor laughed when he heard that. “Alright, alright. You don’t have to do these things. Don’t get in the way. Go do what you need to do. I’m already old. This little girl isn’t afraid of death even if she’s the successor of the divine doctor. If there’s really a problem, I won’t lose out.”

If he really got sick, he would not lose out at all with Su Xiaolu, the successor of the divine doctor, with him.

After saying that, the old doctor looked at Su Xiaolu and asked, “Girl, how is it? Do you want to go back on your word?”

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “I won’t go back on my word.”

The old doctor was a little impressed. It was rare for someone so young to have such a bearing.

The old doctor dismissed the others while he went with Su Xiaolu to treat patients.

The medicine boy did not even want to step into the room where the critically ill patients were placed. Apart from delivering medicine, he did not want to step into it at all. It was cold and cheerless outside, and the room was filled with the cries of the patients before they died.

All kinds of cries for help made people feel depressed.

They walked to a room. It was very quiet. The old doctor pushed open the door. There were five patients in this room, but there was no sound at all. The old doctor went forward to check for a pulse.

“They’re all dead.”

This disease came with a vengeance. A living person would be gone in just a few days.

“Little girl, here.”

The old doctor said to Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu nodded. She went outside to wash her hands and returned to the room. She took out a small knife and began to dissect. Every patient started with a fever and cough. There must be a lesion in their throats.

The old doctor’s gaze changed as he watched Su Xiaolu’s swift actions.

The indignation in his heart disappeared. When he was her age, he felt that he was far inferior to Su Xiaolu.

Constable Zhu had been following Su Xiaolu. When he saw this scene, he was also shocked.

Su Xiaolu worked from the afternoon until late at night.

The old doctor was already showing signs of fatigue. “This illness is terrifying. There’s not a single piece of good flesh on his throat, and his lungs and stomach are all damaged. This illness can’t spread. Constable Zhu, hurry back and report to the magistrate.”

Constable Zhu looked on in shock. He nodded slightly and left.

Furongzhou was in trouble.

If the commoners knew how terrifying this plague was, they would probably be in chaos.

Furongzhou’s military was tight. This was no small matter.

Su Xiaolu’s expression was also solemn. She washed her hands with medicine and cleaned the knives.

Constable Zhu had already returned to the magistrate to report. He hoped that Huang Xingliang could deal with it carefully.

“Girl, how do you think we should treat this plague?”

The old doctor asked Su Xiaolu. In the past, when there was a plague, there would definitely be a disaster first. However, this year, the weather was good. Where did the source of the plague come from? Once one was infected, they actually died in less than ten days. This was too terrifying.

Su Xiaolu said, “This plague is very similar to the death plague recorded in the dossier, but there are some places that are different. The medicine we gave them can be changed to see the effect. If only we can find out the source of the plague.”

She was familiar with medical and poison books. Many strange illnesses and plagues were recorded. She dissected a few corpses. Some symptoms could match the death plague, but they were different.

Why was it different? If she could find the source, this mystery might be solved.

“The first few patients have already pa.s.sed away. Now that the plague has started, everyone is panicking. We can only ask their families, but we can’t get much information.”

The old doctor said slowly. He was afraid that the families of those people had long thrown away what should have been thrown away. They had cleaned the house several times. It was very difficult to find anything useful.

Su Xiaolu looked at the old doctor and said, “Whether I can find out or not, I have to investigate.”

“It’s getting late. You should rest early. I’ll leave first.”

Su Xiaolu said to the doctor. She still had to see Su Hua.

The old doctor nodded.

Su Xiaolu asked the medicine boy to take her to see Su Hua. This courtyard was filled with people who were recently infected. During the day, they were still helping out, but now, coughs came from almost every room.

Even if they took the medicine, it didn’t help.

Information was posted outside each room, including the names of the people who lived there.

“Su Hua is here.”

The medicine boy looked at the name on the paper and said to Su Xiaolu after confirming it.

Su Xiaolu nodded. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. She shouted, “Second Brother, come out for a moment.”

When Su Hua heard Su Xiaolu’s voice, he endured the itch in his throat and opened the door to go out. The few people he lived with were coughing non-stop. Su Hua closed the door and automatically took a few steps away from Su Xiaolu. He resisted the urge to cough and said, “Xiaolu, let’s talk over there.”

“Doctor Su, I won’t disturb you guys anymore.”

The medicine boy said goodbye and left.

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Hua worriedly. She was about to take Su Hua’s pulse when Su Hua retreated. Su Hua said, “Xiaolu, I’m fine. I’ve taken my medicine. You don’t have to worry.”

‘Don’t get too close to me, lest you contract the plague too.’

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Hua and said, “Second Brother, you don’t have to do this. I dissected a patient who died in the afternoon. Let me take your pulse.”

Su Hua looked at Su Xiaolu in a daze. The corners of his lips moved but he did not say anything in the end.
