I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

The man let out a painful roar, fell to the ground and rolled around, scratching the swollen rashes on his face. Soon, there was not a single healthy spot on his face left.

Seeing this horrifying scene, everyone was stunned with fear. This was the first time they had seen someone fall ill, and it was so scary.

The people who had just been clamoring to find Liang Yan suddenly fell silent. Accompanied by the man's unbearable voice in pain, panic lingered in everyone's heart.

The first person to react was Dazhu. Although he was a little panicked, he was relatively calm in comparison.

He first waved his hand to signal everyone not to approach that person, and then walked forward a few steps cautiously.

Wen Shutang immediately shouted to stop him from moving forward: "Stop!"

Dazhu's body shook, and he turned to look at Wen Shutang with confusion and suspicion in his eyes.

"He has entered the rash stage now. The rash spots are red and swollen and are still oozing pus. If you get close to him now, your illness will only break out quickly." Wen Shutang looked at him coldly.

Hearing this, Dazhu obviously hesitated for a moment.

"You, why should I believe you?"

"Believe it or not, I'm just giving you some advice." Wen Shutang ignored Dazhu's attitude and his eyes fell on the dying man lying on the ground.

The pustules on his face had been scratched and were accompanied by a strong stench, which looked very scary.

Wen Shutang pursed her lips. Although she was not a saint, she would not let a life pass away in front of her eyes.

She frowned, checked her protective mask, and walked slowly forward to check on the man.

Wen Shutang didn't care about the pus and blood on the man's face. With a serious look, he fed the man the spiritual spring water he carried with him at an angle where no one could see.

After a moment, the man who had just been in unbearable pain suddenly became quiet.

Wen Shutang turned around and looked at Liang Yan who had been hiding behind the housekeeper: "Master Liang, please send someone to prepare the Shengma Gegen Decoction quickly. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid this person will scratch again after waking up."

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, Liang Yan suddenly woke up from a dream and quickly stood out from behind the housekeeper. He coughed a few times and put on the majestic demeanor he usually had when he was in the government.

"Housekeeper, go to Jishitang and ask Mr. Xue to come and treat everyone. Follow what Miss Wen said and prepare the Cimicifuga Gegen Decoction. Hurry!"

The old butler nodded hurriedly in response: "Yes, sir, I'll go right away!"

After saying that, he quickly left to find Xue Ming.

Everyone was surprised to see Wen Shutang controlling the sick man with almost no movement. At the same time, they felt a bit curious and respectful towards the young girl in front of them.

Dazhu looked at Wen Shutang, then turned to look at Liang Yan, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"So, Lord Liang asked us all to come to the government office because he really wants to treat us?"

Liang Yan quickly replied, "Yes, I am the parent official of this land after all. How could I abandon you all? I will investigate the rude behavior of the yamen runners. Please rest assured."

After hearing what Liang Yan said, the people who had been making trouble just now showed hesitation on their faces.

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and Dazhu just looked at Liang Yan in silence.

Liang Yan touched his nose awkwardly for a moment, but Qiu Sheng spoke carefully.

"Just now I was surrounded by several yamen runners and was beaten. It was my sister who saved me and gave those people a scolding. Now my sister has also saved this person. Everyone should trust my sister." Qiu Sheng said cautiously.

Everyone nodded at the same time. They saw with their own eyes that Wen Shutang saved people, so they naturally had more faith in her.

Seeing this, Liang Yan quickly assured: "Don't worry, Miss Wen is familiar with me. She will also help me supervise the yamen runners and will never oppress the people!"

After hearing this, everyone responded.

"This girl just saved someone, she shouldn't hurt us."

"I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well trust them for once. I don't want to be like that guy just now, who was so scary when he got sick."

"That's it."

Everyone agreed.

Hearing this, Liang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Wen Shutang fed the man the spiritual spring water, he laid him flat on the ground, then stood up and walked aside.

She raised her eyebrows. Liang Yan was trying to use her as a shield.

Wen Shutang looked at Liang Yan, raised his eyebrows, and the displeasure in his eyes was obvious.

Liang Yan winked at Wen Shutang, signaling her to continue acting, with a pleading look in his eyes.

After all, if the people of Qingshui Town rioted and were determined to punish him, he would not be able to resist.

The people’s hearts are the most important!

In response to this, Wen Shutang didn't say anything else. He didn't express his opinion, nor did he respond.

They can believe it if they want, but whether she does it or not is another matter. Anyway, she has not made her attitude clear.

The farce finally came to an end. After this, everyone felt relieved and the sick people flocked to the government office.

Liang Yan ordered his men to take good care of them, deliver medicine and food on time, and isolate them in the government office.

The panic was suppressed for a while, and Wen Shutang went to find Xue Ming and gave him a prescription that could cure the second half of smallpox.

When Xue Ming asked where the prescription came from, Wen Shutang used Mu Bai as a shield.

Xue Ming prepared a decoction according to the prescription and gave it to the people quarantined in the government office, which greatly reduced the number of deaths.

This plague came quickly and will not go away slowly.

Only on the eve of the outbreak did a small number of people die suddenly due to untimely treatment. Most people took medicine during the fever period and did not suffer much harm.

Although Da'an Village was also affected, fortunately Wen Shutang left them supplies in advance, and the whole family was not infected with the smallpox virus.

Liu Sufen and Wen Qing have been worried ever since they found out that Wen Shutang had gone to live in the town alone with the sick Xiao Ze. Especially when they learned that a plague had broken out in the town, they were so worried that they couldn't sleep all night.

Wen Shutang stayed at home with Xiao Ze and did not interfere with Liang Yan's next decision. After the situation stabilized, Wen Shutang took Xiao Ze back to Da'an Village.

The moment Liu Sufen saw Wen Shutang was safe and sound, her eyes reddened. She rushed forward, grabbed her arm and looked her up and down, her tone full of complaints, but her eyes full of worry revealed her current mood.

"You damn girl, why did you go to town without saying anything? Do you know how dangerous the town is? Are you okay? How is Aze?"

Wen Shutang smiled and took Liu Sufen's arm: "Mom, I'm fine, and Aze has recovered. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."

As she spoke, she looked up behind Liu Sufen, but her gaze ran straight into Xiao Yizhuo's deep eyes.
