Gu Qingli laughed, "You guys didn't even ask me who I was and you're already sure I'm going to die? It is unknown whether or not I will die. If anyone dares to touch me, all of you from the Fire Hou clan will not leave any survivors. "
Her hand trembled, and the tip of her spear instantly swept across everyone's neck. In just one move, the white light streaked across, and everyone felt a chill in their throat, they touched their necks, but they were all still there. If her move was carried out, perhaps not many people would be able to survive, their faces turned ashen.
"Go, gather the ingredients according to the prescription. There's no need to ask about the quantity. Bring all of the ingredients here to me." Gu Qingli raised the tip of her spear and smiled. "Hurry and push a small cart over there. If I don't return within an hour, I'll kill one person. After every other incense stick, I'll kill another."
She was naturally trying to intimidate him. However, the assigned soldier still hesitated as he accepted the prescription, intending to leave.
"Come back."
The man shuddered and turned around. Just as he was about to ask her, he saw something flying into his mouth and stuck in his throat. It was so red that his face turned red and he coughed a few times before slipping down.
"You don't have to care about the lives of your comrades. I don't have time to wait for you." Gu Qingli smiled. "This pill will only work for two hours."
Seeing him turn and frantically leave, Gu Qing Li kept his spear and smiled. "You can go and report to the Yan Emperor. I believe he will give the order for you to cooperate."
However, there were more people who could move about, and some of them could even tell her in detail about the oddities of the disease. For example, one villager had clearly stated that he had not contacted any patients before the disease occurred, but had only gone to the forest to collect firewood, and had been surrounded by a group of mosquito-like insects. At that time, he had been knocked out and had been stung a few times, but he had not cared.
These farmers were mostly rough skin and thick flesh, so how could they pay attention to such things? They only felt that the weather was freezing, the beasts were hibernating, and there were actually insects wreaking havoc outside. It was extremely abnormal.
Gu Qingli asked. It was only a few tiny black flying insects, so small that their appearances could barely be seen. One slap could kill a lot of them. She then looked carefully at the place where the person had first been bitten. It was all in the exposed parts of the neck and hands.
"Are there many of these flying insects around you?"
"I've never seen him before …" "The person hesitated before shaking his head. They are all flying insects, who knows what kind." But never in winter. Even after exiting the forest, they have already disappeared. Perhaps, there might be a few scattered objects flying about, so who would care. "
Gu Qing Li looked around in the air with a cold expression. She walked out and said to the soldiers outside, "You guys go out and buy some calamus root and wormwood leaf."
After the warning just now, that person didn't dare to be rude to her. Carefully, he asked, "This isn't the time to produce Calamus Root … Was it used to repel mosquitoes? "
"There are calamus stalks in the pharmacy, and wormwood leaves can also be used to repel mosquitoes." Gu Qingli didn't want to explain too much to him. Even if they weren't mosquitoes, insects would avoid smoke because of their natural tendency to avoid it.
That person muttered in his heart and followed orders. He was thinking about the mosquitoes in the middle of winter. Was there something wrong with it?
The soldiers from the Fire Hou Battalion who went to do some work were also quick to act. They quickly returned with two carts of herbs, Calamus Root and Artemisia Leaf. Gu Qingli instructed them to bring Calamus Root and Artemisia Leaf to light insect repellents everywhere, but no one moved after hesitating.
"Do as she says."
A cold voice came from the distance. Gu Qingli looked up and saw Xiao Yixiu's slender and handsome figure walking slowly towards her. His white robes were spotless, without a speck of dust on them. His hands were clasped behind his back.
He came alone and leisurely strolled around as if he was taking a stroll in a courtyard. When he saw the dumbstruck soldiers of the Fire Hou Battalion, he slightly raised his eyebrows.
"What, is it that This King's words are not as useful as King Yan's?"
Not everyone present was a fool, even if the Fire Hou Battalion was established later, not many people had seen Xiao Yi Xiu. However, after seeing his appearance, hearing his tone, and thinking about what had happened a few days ago, Xiao Yi Xiu suddenly shuddered and kowtowed, "This general greets Prince Mo."
"Why are you here?" Gu Qingli stepped forward with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yi Xiu just smiled and didn't reply. He wanted to embrace her as soon as he got closer, but she dodged him, "Don't touch me. You shouldn't have come in here like this. This disease might have been transmitted by air or by contact. Once you step in here, you'll be in danger.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled gently. "It's not that scary. Even if those people from the epidemic area are here, they will still be infected."
"This won't do, don't touch me. There's no reason for the plague to spread. Quickly find a handkerchief and cover your mouth and nose."
Xiao Yi Xiu laughed and shook his head. He didn't insist on hugging her and swept his gaze across the kneeling crowd. "Why aren't you going to pick up the Calamus Root?"
"Yes." As if they were pardoned, everyone took a handful and lit the incense.
Gu Qing Li ordered Feng Zi to come out, and she took the medicine according to her instructions before giving it to each person separately. She then adjusted the amount of medicine according to each person's condition, then walked out of the grass hut. She casually found a large stone and sat down, explaining the situation to Xiao Yi Xiu.
He continued, "You should go back and find a way to improve the living conditions here. Forget about others, no one even cares about the basic survival conditions here anymore. Initially, someone even sent some medicine for them to follow the instructions, but now, they don't even have a diet. Many families, including the entire village, began to break up their picnics. "
It had been almost ten days since the incident, and people were forbidden to trade or travel for three or four days. No one could blame the noise and quarrels inside, if things continued like this, there would be more people who would starve to death than those who would die from illness.
Xiao Yi Xiu nodded from time to time, his expression grim. On the surface, he didn't show any signs of disobeying the imperial edict, but in reality, this kind of action was tantamount to a slow slaughter of the village.
"In addition, the so-called sending a famous doctor to treat them is probably just an exaggeration. There is only one wandering doctor here, and he came in the earliest. He has been infected since long ago, and is now completely ill. As for the imperial physician assigned to her by the emperor — "Gu Qingli raised her chin to indicate to the village head.
Xiao Yi Xiu looked back. "I know. Aren't there two imperial physicians? Where's the other one?"
"I don't know, I haven't had time to pay attention to his whereabouts."
Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. "I'll go take a look." Do you have a way to deal with it? "
"I have yet to find the source of the infection. According to the infected population, it should have been caused by a very small black worm, and they may have appeared in the forest behind the village, which is why the artemisia selengensis insect repellent was first found. As for the condition of the illness, I've made up a prescription to test it out. We'll have to see how effective it is and see how they take the medicine. I'm afraid we'll have to adjust the plan from time to time. "
Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Qingli quickly said, "Wait." She took off her gloves and took out a handkerchief from her bosom, carefully wrapping it around his mouth and nose.
After Xiao Yi Xiu was finished with his tasks, she walked further into the village. No one stopped her along the way.
