However, before he had gone very far, three patrolling soldiers quickly approached him.

"Halt! Stop!"

The leading soldier, holding a long spear, stepped forward half a step to examine the soldier and asked the first question:

"Who are you? Where do you come from? Where in Zheng County are you going? What places have you traveled through? Have you passed through places like Puzhou or Tongzhou, which are severely affected by the epidemic? Do you have any symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, or bloody stools?"

Chopper, who was being held in Yang Bo's arms, perked up his ears from under his hat when he heard the questions about his symptoms.

"No, please don't worry. I am Yang Bo, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. I have come to check on the situation in Zheng County on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince. According to the schedule, the Crown Prince will be able to arrive in Zheng County with the imperial physicians early tomorrow morning."

Li Chengqian's carriage had just left when he said he could come over tomorrow morning, or that the medicine and grain would arrive in batches.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach Zheng County in three to five days.

After saying this, Yang Bo took out his jade talisman and official seal as Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince. These were made by craftsmen at Li Shimin's request overnight. If they were placed in the inner chambers, they would be treasures in a museum.

Upon hearing this, the three guards immediately became cautious. The leader stepped forward and carefully examined the jade talisman in his hand.

The front bears the seal script inscription "Grand Tutor of the Eastern Palace," while the back is engraved with a hidden pattern of Emperor Taizong's private seal. However, Yang Bo's name is not on the seal.

When he saw the jade talisman clearly, he hurriedly took half a step back, not daring to touch it directly with his hands, and only used his sleeve to hold the edge of it.

The stern voice that had been used in the interrogation vanished completely, his back hunched instinctively, and his face showed fear and tension.

"I was blind and offended you earlier. I beg the Grand Tutor's forgiveness!"

"fine."

Yang Bo waved his hand and took back the jade talisman:

"You two take me to see the disaster victims, and one of you go back and tell them. Oh, and don't let the officials in the county come and bother me. I don't like those formalities."

"Yes, Grand Tutor."

The leading soldier, who was holding a long spear, immediately ordered his men to report the situation to their superiors.

"Grand Tutor, this epidemic is dangerous, your health is of utmost importance..."

“The Crown Prince and I came here to solve this epidemic. If we can’t even see the patients, how can we solve it? Just take me to the medicine shed and the quarantine area.”

"Yes, Grand Tutor."

Following behind two soldiers, they soon arrived at the medicine shed outside the county town, which was specifically for accommodating patients, along the official road.

The air here is filled with the bitter fragrance of mugwort and the stench of decaying riverbed. The endless bamboo-mat medical tents stretch as far as the eye can see, with coarse linen cloth covering the roofs to block the scorching sun.

The shed was packed with people, both inside and out.

The emaciated people were wrapped in coarse cloth clothes covered with patches. Some of them were curled up on straw mats, clutching their lower abdomens and trembling with pain.

There were also children with sallow faces, leaning weakly against their relatives, coughing occasionally.

The barefoot doctor sent by the prefecture and county was covered in sweat, taking the pulse with one hand and recording the symptoms with the other.

A soldier walked towards the village, and soon a figure dressed in the uniform of a county constable walked quickly towards them.

"This humble servant, Zhang Yunpeng, the Right County Commandant of Zheng County, greets Your Excellency, the Grand Tutor."

"Get up, you go about your business, don't worry about me. Just find someone who knows this place to keep me company."

"this…"

"I said, you just do it."

The Right County Lieutenant broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed, saying, "Yes, Grand Tutor, I will arrange it immediately."

Although he didn't know why the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince would come here, he figured he should avoid trouble if possible, and if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up.

For example, the magistrate of Zheng County.

He turned to leave, and soon a man came running up: "This humble official greets Your Excellency, Grand Tutor."

Yang Bo looked at the people and sighed inwardly: "Where are those critically ill patients placed? Take me there."

"It's in the east, please follow me."

Before he came, the county magistrate had already instructed him to do whatever Yang Bo wanted to do and not to ask any questions.

Soon, Yang Bo saw the so-called intensive care isolation area.

It's more accurate to call it an intensive care isolation area than a morgue; at least half of the people there have lost all their health bars.

The people lying here no longer even had the strength to groan; the doctors had completely given up on them.

They lay on bamboo mats, waiting to die in agony.

The stench was so strong that even the wind couldn't dispel it. Yang Bo put Chopper down on the ground.

"Go find me a cow, any kind will do."

"ox?"

"Just do as instructed."

"Yes."

As soon as the clerk turned around, Yang Bo took out the "Book of Cagliostro".

"The Healing Ring"

Iron magic, which should have consumed mana, is now consuming spiritual energy in him.

The downside is that it consumes more mana than mana.

The advantage is that his spiritual power is much greater than the original "Iron Magic".

A golden halo emanated from the center of the intensive care unit, then rapidly enveloped all the patients within it.

In an instant, the "Healing Ring" instantly restored the health bars of those patients who had been ravaged by the disease to near death.

However, this is only a temporary solution and not a cure.

"Chopper, go check on the survivors. My skill just now was only a temporary fix."

I wish I had known the epidemic area would look like this.

Unfortunately, the skill "Purify," which can eliminate all negative effects within its range, is an epic-level skill; otherwise, using "Purify" would be much faster than drinking milk.

Chapter 306 Super Bean Bun

"Sir, here is the ox you requested."

The clerk led a robust yellow ox over; it was clearly a well-bred ox that had been carefully tended to.

As soon as he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the 'pet' rare animal wearing a hat next to Yang Bo.

With just one glance, his gaze was fixed on her.

"Is this raccoon dog treating a patient?!"

Chopper: "..."

When he heard someone call him a tanuki, Chopper didn't get angry this time; his attention was entirely focused on the patient.

Yang Bo took an iron bucket out of his backpack and walked to the side of the burly ox:

"There are some things you can know but can't say, understand?"

The clerk's face turned deathly pale, and several thoughts raced through his mind.

But looking at Yang Bo's calm expression and eyes, he nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I understand, I understand."

"Good, then lead the ox and follow behind me."

Yang Bo held the milk bucket towards the suffering people, silently chanting "use it!"

Wherever he went, the people who were groaning in pain got better. However, most of them did not wake up after their pain was relieved, but instead fell into a deep sleep.

The epidemic has ravaged their health.

Just like modern people who can't sleep without painkillers after surgery, but feel sleepy as soon as they take painkillers.

"Yang Bo, these patients have lower abdominal cramps and frequent diarrhea."

I examined their excrement and found it contained reddish-white mucus mixed with pus and blood, along with high fever, dehydration, and shock.

This is clearly bacterial dysentery; the water source here is contaminated.

As soon as Chopper finished speaking, the clerk leading the cow fell to the ground with a thud, staring at Chopper in utter terror:

"Monster...monster..."

“This is my spirit pet, skilled in medicine. If it weren’t for the Crown Prince’s repeated pleas for the sake of the people, I wouldn’t have come here.”

The clerk stared at Chopper with immense fear in his heart; having a peculiar appearance and being able to talk were two completely different things.

Chopper completely ignored his reaction and instead looked at Yang Bo:

“This kind of dysentery is not difficult to treat; I can even easily prepare medicine with the materials I brought.”

"However, with so many people, the materials I brought are definitely not enough, and there's still a bit left."

"The cause of death from dysentery is not the virus in their bodies, but dehydration. All patients must be given saline solution, and the water supply problem also needs to be solved."

"Chopper, you're right."

With a thought, Yang Bo used his "telekinesis" to lift the clerk who was slumped on the ground:

"Did you hear that? Go and get some of the medicine the doctor prescribed and the medicinal materials we're preparing to use to treat the epidemic."

The increasingly elderly registrar trembled with fear, his eyes filled with awe.

"Yes...yes...this subordinate will go and fetch the medicinal herbs right away."

After saying that, the guy took off running.

I don't know if he'll ever come back.

Use milk to revive the patient Chopper just examined.

"Chopper, stay here and don't move. I'll buy some medicine and be back in a bit."

Chopper nodded, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he felt more and more that he was on the right path.
