Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1989 - 1967: Employment

Zhang Xueying stated,

"It's impossible; Xiaoxiao and Lingling could only contract such an illness through contact or encountering someone. Think carefully once more."

Chen Yang shook his head and asserted with certainty.

Hearing this, Zhang Xueying was plunged into deep contemplation again.

After pondering for about thirty seconds, something indeed surfaced in her memory.

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the fields to gather some vegetables. Lingling and Xiaoxiao were playing by the roadside for a spell. I recall seeing a middle-aged man from a distance, who passed by and playfully interacted with Xiaoxiao and Lingling. Apart from that instance, they definitely did not come into contact with anyone else," Zhang Xueying recounted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang instantly grasped the situation.

The individual from yesterday was highly likely connected to the Five Poisons Cult.

Lingling and Xiaoxiao's brief encounter with him had resulted in their current affliction.

"So it has come to this,"

Chen Yang murmured to himself.

"Brother Chen Yang, what kind of illness do Lingling and Xiaoxiao have, and why is it related to contact with others?" Zhang Xueying's eyes began to brim with tears.

The incidents at Linghe Village had already spread far and wide across the neighboring villages, causing both Zhang Xueying and Jiang Miaoyan to fear it was an infectious disease.

They had simply hesitated to acknowledge it.

"It's not a particularly serious illness; do not worry, I can manage it." To prevent them from excessive worry, Chen Yang refrained from revealing the full extent of the situation.

Instead, he offered reassurance to ease their minds.

"Alright, alright."

Upon hearing that Chen Yang could handle the situation, Zhang Xueying and Jiang Miaoyan promptly nodded in agreement.

After their conversation, Chen Yang commenced the treatment for Xiaoxiao and Lingling.

From his initial examination, it was apparent that the illness affecting Lingling and Xiaoxiao bore some differences from the one seen in Linghe Village, and it was less severe.

This could have been intentional by those who inflicted the illness, or perhaps it was due to early detection, thus preventing it from becoming as severe.

Chen Yang retrieved a few silver needles and carefully inserted them into the necks of Lingling and Xiaoxiao.

As the silver needles penetrated their skin, the two children's bodies immediately reacted.

They shuddered a few times, exhibiting signs of nausea.

"Xueying, be cautious when handling this contamination. Avoid direct contact, lest you contract the illness as well," Chen Yang cautioned Zhang Xueying.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Zhang Xueying and Jiang Miaoyan understood the nature of the affliction.

However, since Chen Yang assured them that he could manage it, their anxieties gradually subsided.

"Okay, I understand, Brother Chen Yang." Zhang Xueying nodded, suppressing her sorrow. After taking personal protective measures, she began to assist.

Following the needle insertion, Chen Yang produced two small pills and administered them to the children.

These pills had been specifically concocted a few days prior to combat this particular illness, possessing remarkable efficacy.

Under normal circumstances, a few days would be sufficient for a full recovery.

Given Xiaoxiao and Lingling's young age and the mildness of their symptoms, they were expected to make a complete recovery within two days at most.

After consuming the pills, the children's conditions showed a noticeable improvement.

Their bodies ceased trembling, and the cold sweat subsided.

Their complexions gradually regained their healthy, rosy hue.

"Xueying, Miaoyan, please take these pills." Chen Yang stood up and offered a few pills to each of them.

"These are specifically for treating Xiaoxiao and Lingling. They need to take one every five hours until they are fully recovered."

"Additionally, until they are completely healed, please exercise caution and limit excessive physical contact."

Chen Yang earnestly instructed the two women.

"Okay."

Zhang Xueying agreed without hesitation.

"Brother Chen Yang, when will Lingling and Xiaoxiao return to normal?" Jiang Miaoyan inquired, her voice laced with concern.

"Within two days at the latest," Chen Yang replied.

"Should anything arise in the interim, do not hesitate to seek me out anytime."

"Alright." Jiang Miaoyan felt a wave of relief, her worries significantly lessened upon hearing that recovery would take no more than two days.

After tending to Xiaoxiao and Lingling, Chen Yang did not linger. He proceeded directly to the village office to report the illness affecting the two children.

This affliction was not to be underestimated and required stringent preventative measures.

Wu Kexin was taken aback by the news.

She had not anticipated that even this village would become a target. Fortunately, the illness had been detected promptly. Had it spread to numerous individuals like in Linghe Village, the consequences would have been dire.

"How are Xiaoxiao and Lingling now? Should I summon the town chief?" Wu Kexin urgently asked.

Chen Yang shook his head, stating, "I have stabilized Xiaoxiao and Lingling's conditions. There should be no further complications."

"However, it’s quite obvious that our village has become a target. We need everyone to maintain peak vigilance during this period. Should any unfamiliar individuals be seen entering or departing the village, extra scrutiny is required."

Chen Yang's statement resonated deeply with Wu Kexin.

The affliction was primarily attributed to the malevolent forces of the Five Poisons Cult, thus necessitating stringent defensive measures.

With diligent safeguarding, the village could successfully ward off the pervasive sickness.

"Understood, I shall convey the message to all immediately, emphasizing the importance of protective measures." Wu Kexin affirmed with a decisive nod.

"Furthermore, should any suspicious characters be detected, an immediate report to me is crucial."

"Consider it done. If any incident arises, I will seek you out without delay."

Their discussion concluded, and without further hesitation, they sprang into action, disseminating instructions throughout the village, urging all inhabitants to exercise heightened caution.

The elders and villagers, upon receiving the alarming news, felt a surge of apprehension.

Tales of the ravages of the illness within Linghe Village had already reached their ears.

Witnessing the sickness now encroaching upon Linghe Village, a degree of consternation was entirely justifiable.
