When Feng Jiuyan saw the solemn expressions on their faces, he had already guessed the result.

She poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, "Come, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up first."

Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu took the tea and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Zhang Xiaowu and Zhang Chong had been busy outside for most of the day. The weather outside was very cold and they really needed to drink some hot tea to relieve the cold.

Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly drank a sip of tea and put the cup on the table. Then, he looked at Feng Jiuyan solemnly and said, "Miss, we followed your instructions and went to all the clinics in the city. We also consulted many doctors and patients about this matter.

Before we returned home, the city's medical clinic was still treating patients. The number of patients this time was extremely large, and the doctors in the city were unable to cope with it. The situation was somewhat serious.

Zhang Chong and I took advantage of the doctors' rest time to briefly ask them about the symptoms of these patients. The doctors told us that these patients first had high fever, followed by a series of symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, coughing, sore throat, body pain, headache and so on.

These symptoms sound no different from common typhoid fever, but in fact, they are hundreds of times more painful than ordinary colds.

After leaving the clinic, Zhang Chong and I went to ask some family members who were waiting in line for medical treatment.

Zhang Xiaowu spoke a lot in one breath. Because he was too anxious, his breathing was a little unstable and he couldn't help coughing. Seeing this, Feng Jiuyan gave him another cup of tea. "Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

"Thank you." Zhang Xiaowu picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea to moisten his throat.

At this time, Zhang Chong, who had been sitting next to him in silence, spoke at the right time.

"Let me talk. Xiaowu, you take a break first."

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and replied, "Okay."

Then, Zhang Chong looked at Feng Jiuyan with a serious expression and said slowly, "After Xiao Wu and I asked the doctor at the clinic, we also asked the relatives of several patients who were queuing outside the clinic.

Their answers were similar. In a family, the first to show symptoms were the elderly, the weak, women and children, followed by the young and middle-aged. Moreover, their symptoms were very similar to those of typhoid fever, so at first they all thought it was just a common cold.

But gradually, the symptoms began to become more severe, and many people even had difficulty breathing. In addition, the number of people infected in a family increased from one person to two, three, and in some families, the entire family was infected. Moreover, many patients who could not bear it and did not take medicine died.

After the deaths began, the people began to realize that this was not ordinary typhoid fever and that they could not recover by simply enduring it as they had done in the past. The traditional remedies they used were no longer effective. So, they came to the clinic in fear and sought treatment from doctors.

Zhang Chong paused here, and looked at Feng Jiuyan and Feng Huaijin with a serious expression, "This is the information that Xiaowu and I have found out. Miss, you are a skilled doctor. Can you judge what disease this is based on these symptoms?"

After saying that, three gazes were cast towards her.

Feng Jiuyan's eyes were dark, and she frowned as she thought. Her whole face was solemn. After a long silence, she nodded gently, then glanced at the three people present, and then said, "It's an epidemic."

"What? It's really an epidemic?" Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu asked in shock.

After investigating, the two of them guessed that this was an epidemic. But they actually had a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was just their imagination.

However, when the word "epidemic" comes out of Feng Jiuyan's mouth, it has different meanings.

She was a skilled doctor, and both of them had seen it. Now that she had said so, it meant that it must be an epidemic, and it could be said that it had been confirmed with absolute certainty.

"Yes, it is undoubtedly an epidemic. Moreover, from the information you have gathered, it can be inferred that this epidemic can be transmitted from person to person and is highly contagious. Anyone who has come into contact with a patient will basically be infected."

Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu opened their eyes wide and looked at each other, seeing panic in each other's eyes. They both quickly stood up from their chairs, took several steps back, and almost walked out of the front hall door.

Zhang Chong said tremblingly, "Then, Xiaowu and I have already come into contact with the patient and his relatives, so the possibility of both of us being infected with the disease is almost 90%. No, no, the young lady and the general must not get close to us, lest they be infected by Xiaowu and me."

Zhang Xiaowu's face was stern, but the fear in his eyes still revealed his thoughts at the moment. "Zhang Chong is right, we can't get too close to you. If both of us are infected, then if you come into contact with us, won't you also be infected?

No, we have to leave Feng Mansion quickly. We must not infect the young lady and the general with the disease."

Feng Jiuyan found it a little funny, but at the same time, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled and comforted the two of them, "Don't worry, the probability of you being infected with this disease is very small."

Zhang Chong's eyes turned red with anxiety. He looked scared and anxious. "Miss, please don't comfort us. It's not a pity for us to die, but we must not implicate you and the general.

If I really get infected with the disease, miss, you have to burn more paper money for me, I want to become a rich man in the underworld! Also, miss, you have to cook more dishes for me, I like to eat your dishes, such as the crayfish, the spicy and numbing hot pot, and... "

Zhang Chong kept chattering to Feng Jiuyan about his funeral arrangements, and he had even chosen his own grave.

Feng Jiuyan felt helpless. She wanted to interrupt Zhang Chong, but the boy refused to listen and spoke like a cannonball. Feng Jiuyan couldn't find a chance to interrupt him.

So Feng Jiuyan simply drank tea leisurely, listening to Zhang Chong chattering and arranging his own funeral affairs.

Zhang Chong talked a lot in one breath, until his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, and he finally stopped.

Feng Jiuyan put down the teacup and looked at Zhang Chong with a half-smile, "Are you done?"

"Well, that's it. Miss, although my requests are a bit too much, I beg you to at least complete half of them, even if you can't complete them all." Zhang Chong looked at Feng Jiuyan expectantly and said carefully.

"Okay, then it's my turn to speak. I'm saying that the possibility of you and Xiaowu being infected with the disease is very small. Because you wore masks and disinfected after returning, the possibility of bringing the virus back is very small, so don't be too nervous."
