She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 132 - : Give You a Beating Too

“If that’s the case, then we’re in trouble. So many people in the city are infected and sick, not getting better, and there are those who died within three days as well.”

Hearing this, Xiang Ying suddenly felt that she shouldn’t be hasty in offering help.

Although she had medicine, there were far more sick people in the city.

If the news that she could cure the disease got out, not only would they all come to her for treatment, wasting the medicine, but it could also bring trouble.

Xiang Ying had survived the apocalypse by adopting an attitude of indifference towards things that didn’t concern her directly.

So her first reaction was to pretend that she was unable to heal.

Sure enough, Supervisor Ke looked towards her.

“You are so knowledgeable about this illness; you must know how to treat it, right?”

“Um, I’ve only seen it, but I don’t know how to cure it,” Xiang Ying expressed helplessly.

Hearing her say this, Jie Chen’s brows furrowed even more.

Supervisor Ke gritted his teeth, “I think, these water bandits were never our people from the Southern Yue in the first place. We don’t need to bother with them.”

Lu Feiyi looked at him sharply, “Does Supervisor Ke mean to just watch as so many lives are senselessly lost?”

“You’re anxious, but there’s nothing you can do. There is no medicine for this disease. Haven’t you heard? Even the City Garrison Commander has caught the same illness and still can’t leave his bed!”

Just then, a soldier hurried in and reported.

“Not good, Vice General, some soldiers have started vomiting and having diarrhea, just like these water bandits.”

Xiang Ying sighed silently to herself.

As expected.

Anyone who drank from the pond was sure to be infected.

It was clear the source was impure.

Lu Feiyi stared at Supervisor Ke, the tone of his voice stern, “I’d like to hear it—this time the soldiers from the Southern Yue are sick; does Supervisor Ke care or not?”

Supervisor Ke, frustrated, kicked a table beside him.

“Care? I’ll stake my life on it—it’s eerie. Along the way, it’s been one illness or another; I’m going out to figure out a solution.”

He turned and left.

Jie Chen looked at Xiang Ying, “You don’t even know which herbs to use?”

Xiang Ying shook her head honestly.

Jie Chen nodded, contemplating a plan. After a while, he said, “Scholar, accompany me into the city. We’ll consult with the City Garrison’s doctor again. Pooling ideas together, we might come up with a solution.”

“Yes.”

Xiang Ying couldn’t help but say, “Why are we still staying here? Although these people cannot travel, they could be placed on wooden carts and towed along.”

“As long as we leave this area with impure water sources, maybe they will get better.”

Of course, what she was thinking was, after leaving this place, she would be able to secretly treat them.

To avoid having to take care of all the sick people in the city.

However, Jie Chen glanced at her and said, “If you leave like this, it will be difficult to find herbs on the mountain, let alone treat illness.”

He then assigned a task to Xiang Ying.

“I’m going to visit the City Garrison’s home, you take a few men and run an errand for me to the city granary. I’ve purchased some winter clothing from them, you just haul it back here.”

Xiang Ying’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard she could enter the city: “No problem.”

And to take the chance to scout out the situation in the city.

She prepared to take Tao Xue with her and Qi Fengyi, but Lu Feiyi followed right behind her.

“Boss, I want to go too.”

Xiang Ying looked back and after thinking for a moment, she said, “All right.”

She called over Qi Fengyi and the Seventh Princess, Xiang Rongrong, leaving Tao Xue behind to supervise the learning of the three little ones.

Xiang Ying hitched a horse-drawn cart to enter the city.

This city was located at the foot of Bogui Mountain in Mang State, known as Wangxiang City.

Xiang Rongrong couldn’t help saying while on the cart: “I think this place has an evil aura; even the names are unlucky, like Bogui Mountain and Wangxiang City, as if it were the underworld.”

Qi Fengyi explained: “The reason it’s called Wangxiang City is that Mang State is the northwesternmost frontier defense of Xizhou. Beyond this place is Southern Yue, and you can only turn your head and look home.”

Xiang Ying lifted the curtain of the coach and saw that the city was dead and lifeless.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

There were hardly any food shops or stalls, but there were many people lined up outside the pharmacy.

In the past when wars were rampant, Mang State, due to its remote location, was not much affected.

But after Xizhou’s defeat, it was taken over by Nanyue, and the current City Garrison Commander is an official dispatched by Nanyue to manage this place.

Logically, for fear of the people causing trouble, there should be soldiers patrolling the streets.

But as Xiang Ying walked for half a day, she didn’t see a soul.

She took Jie Chen’s waist tag and went to the granary.

Of course, there were no grain reserves here.

So scarce that even Xiang Ying didn’t want to raid what was left.

She feared that taking everything would only add insult to injury for the people living here.

The person guarding the granary opened the door, showing them half a warehouse of cotton clothes.

“The City Garrison Commander said to give the Deputy General one hundred and fifty cotton clothes and one hundred mink coats. They are all here; you will take them directly.”

Xiang Ying frowned: “One hundred and fifty pieces, is this all?”

After getting an affirmative response, the Seventh Princess whispered to her side: “But our troop has three hundred people, doesn’t that mean half of them will have nothing to wear?”

Xiang Ying pressed her lips together and said nothing, motioning to both Qi Fengyi and Lu Feiyi: “Load them onto the cart, we might need to make two trips.”

They brought the first load back to the camp and handed it over to Skinny Monkey and the others for settling in.

When they returned the second time, they saw everyone gathered around Jie Chen’s camp.

Xiang Ying called for Skinny Monkey, who squeezed out from the crowd in a hurry.

“What’s going on? Why such a commotion?”

Skinny Monkey lowered his voice: “Sister-in-law, let me warn you about something, you better be careful.”

“That Zhao Yushi, Miss Zhao, who was beaten, turns out she knows a bit about medicine, insisting that she could treat this strange diarrhea. Just now the Deputy General let her have a try.”

“Unexpectedly, after taking her medicine, that person’s stomach really stopped hurting. The Deputy General has asked her to treat the entire troupe, but she made a request.”

Skinny Monkey glanced in that direction: “Guess what her demand was.”

Xiang Ying, with a coldly beautiful face, patted the dust off her sleeves.

“What else could the demand be, nothing more than harboring a grudge against me, and striking a deal with Jie Chen.”

Skinny Monkey, surprised, gave a thumbs up: “Sister-in-law, you’re truly a mind reader.”

“Zhao Yushi said she wouldn’t be satisfied until she tied you up and flogged you; only then would she be willing to save people!”
