Ye Qingran felt strange and asked the old lady to take them to her home without asking any more questions.

Only then did she notice that the soles of the old lady's shoes were almost worn out. She must have been too anxious and ran here on her own.

She asked her servant to get a carriage and drive out of the county.

The old lady's home is in a village near the county seat. It's quite a distance from there. It's no wonder that the soles of the old lady's shoes are worn out.

The house is not big, and the walls and roof are in a state of disrepair. It seems like it leaks when it rains. I guess the condition of the house is not good.

"My daughter is in the room."

Ye Qingran followed into the room. As soon as she entered, she smelled an unusual smell in the air, but she couldn't tell what it was.

This little girl’s name was Chen Xiao. They had lived together since childhood. There was no man in the family, so their life was naturally not good. Ye Qingran went over to check her pulse and other physical conditions. She was very sure that this was the plague, but There is something more to the plague.

"This looks like a poison."

"insanity?"

The old lady didn't quite understand what it meant, so she asked, "Is it important? Can my daughter be saved?"

"Don't worry yet. Although I don't know much about poison, I can help seal her pulse first, and then I will develop a new medicine. I have to stay here to observe her condition in the past few days."

Ye Qingran comforted her, "Don't worry too much. With me here, she will never die."

Everyone knows that Ye Qingran has cured many people of the plague and has long regarded her as a miracle doctor. The old lady is no exception.

Now that I heard her say this, I believed her words.

Knowing that she was going to give the acupuncture, Chu Qingyun consciously left the room and sat down in the main room. He looked around and seemed to notice a strange smell in the room.

In the room, Ye Qingran took out a silver needle and inserted it into Chen Xiao's acupuncture point, which temporarily relieved her symptoms.

Although it could not completely cure her disease, it would at least stop her from vomiting blood.Based on this amount of blood vomiting, if it is not stopped in time, he may actually die of blood loss.

After a while, Chen Xiao's condition improved significantly.

After she was almost awake, Ye Qingran helped her up and fed her the special medicine he had prepared earlier.

Although the symptoms are somewhat different, the symptoms and causes are essentially the same. However, this medicine is still effective, but it may not be able to cure it for a while.

After she finished drinking the medicine, Ye Qingran asked, "In addition to drinking medicine these days, what else have you eaten?"

Hearing her question, Chen Xiao thought for a while before replying: "It's nothing... There is nothing to eat at home. On weekdays, I just dig some wild vegetables and eat some rice, and nothing else."

Ye Qingran nodded and told her to have a good rest. If she felt uncomfortable, he would call her and leave the room.

Seeing Ye Qingran come out, the old lady hurriedly stepped forward and asked her, "How is my daughter?"

"We haven't found the cause yet, but I don't know if she is infected with the plague, or even poisoned. Although I'm not sure if it's poison, there are signs of poison. We need to find out where the trigger is."

She looked around and said, "I need to see where the water and food you drink every day are."

"I just took a look. There is no well in the courtyard. The food should be water from the nearby river. That water is living water and there will be no problem." Chu Qingyun reminded her.

Ye Qingran nodded. His words saved a lot of trouble.

"Then take me to see the rice you eat."

The old lady didn't think much and took them to the kitchen.

The kitchen was dark and damp, and the rice bag was placed in a tattered cabinet. Ye Qingran found that the sides of the rice bag were soaked.

The old lady took out the rice bag and put it on the counter, then untied the sealing rope.

Ye Qingran could clearly feel a musty smell coming to his nose, and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.

There were dense black bugs crawling around in the rice bag. She frowned and said, "There is something wrong with this rice. You can't eat it anymore."

The old lady looked a little confused: "We have always eaten rice like this, and it was fine before..."

"It used to be okay because the insects were not poisonous yet. Now that the rice is bad, the insects are also bad. No matter how clean you wash the rice, the eggs will still be attached to it. If you eat it, it will be like a poison." Remains in the body.”

She sighed, "No wonder there are signs of poison. I'm afraid the plague also started from this rice."

People who are treated in medical clinics these days eat the porridge distributed by the medical clinic, and if they take medicine for conditioning, there will naturally be no problem. Moreover, some people’s rice at home is relatively well preserved, and there will be no problem if they eat it. It's contagious, so it's not that serious.

And Chen Xiao was already sick, and he ate such rice today, so he became particularly serious.

But if the cause is found, the matter will be easier to solve.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingran went to the county magistrate to discuss the matter.

This matter is definitely not a trivial matter. If Ye Qingran hadn't diagnosed and treated her in time, the entire county would have suffered, and rice was also an important matter.

If it hadn't been for this, the county magistrate would not have discovered that apart from the people in the county, the people in the surrounding villages lived in extremely poor conditions and could not even afford the most basic food and clothing.

He immediately ordered that all old rice inside and outside the county be collected and destroyed, and new rice be distributed again.

The common people also understood the seriousness of the matter. No one dared to leave such old rice at home for fear of contracting strange diseases again, and no one was willing to get new rice to eat well.

The matter of rice distribution took several days to resolve. Next, the people had to be able to farm their own food and have enough to eat. However, these were matters that the county magistrate had to worry about and had nothing to do with Ye Qingran.

After solving the source of the disease and using the special medicine prepared by Ye Qingran, the plague was quickly and completely eliminated.

These days, the Ye family still lives in the government office. People who came to thank Ye Qingran surrounded the government office.

But the government officials did not dare to drive them away and could only let them make noise outside. It was not until Ye Qingran came forward in person that they became quieter.

"Folks, from now on you must pay attention to your diet. Be sure to store the rice you eat and keep it away from moisture. If it is already infested with worms, throw away what you can. Don't take chances. Your own life is in danger. more important."

Ye Qingran smiled and said, "The county magistrate said that a better county magistrate will take office in the future. If you don't have rice to eat, you will not be able to survive. You can get new rice when you come to the government office. Everyone Just don’t worry.”

The common people began to kneel down one after another: "Thank you, Miss Ye, for saving our lives, and thank you to the county magistrate for being enlightened!"

"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Let's all go back and live a good life. I hope that everyone will not get sick and stay healthy in the future."
