Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 532 - 531: This Is Fate

Mu Jian said, "Take me to have a look at where you left those three chickens."

"Alright, okay!"

The villager also seemed to think of this possibility, his face turning frighteningly pale, even his voice carried a slight tremor.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was no trace of the dead chickens, only a pile of feathers remained.

The County Magistrate smiled bitterly, "It’s fate..."

Mu Jian suggested, "My lord, I advise that you report it early, so that the people of Nanfeng Country refrain from consuming poultry during this period."

"Alright!" The County Magistrate nodded, "I shall begin preparations, as for the patients, I leave it to you, Senior Mu!"

Mu Jian nodded, offered a few words of comfort to the villager, and then led a group of people to the gathering place of the patients.

Watching the soldiers, heavily masked, carry one corpse after another out to be burned, among them, not only the elderly but also young children, everyone felt indescribably distressed.

Even Du Bingxue, always indifferent by nature, couldn’t help but redden her eyes, and Lan Ruo directly choked with sobs, murmuring, "Too pitiful!"

Shen Qinglan moved her gaze away, feeling a tightness in her chest.

If it were in her past life, she surely wouldn’t be affected by such scenes. But since coming to this world, having family and friends, she could no longer bear to see such scenes.

"Senior Mu!"

An old man emerged from the tent, his originally furrowed brows suddenly relaxed upon seeing Mu Jian.

Mu Jian approached, nodded, and said, "Physician Fang."

"You finally came!" Physician Fang pulled him toward the tent, "Quickly, come and see how to treat this epidemic!"

Mu Jian entered the tent and saw an emaciated old man lying on the bed. If it weren’t for the faint moaning, he would have thought the man was already dead.

"Those people went to find the source of the illness, but haven’t found it yet!" Physician Fang sighed lightly, "Without identifying the source, I’m at a loss on how to start the treatment."

Mu Jian glanced at the old man and whispered, "The source has been found."

"Found it?" Physician Fang exclaimed with joy, "What’s causing it?"

Mu Jian said, "It’s chicken plague."

"Chicken, chicken plague?" Physician Fang was shocked, "How was it discovered?"

"Our cousin became suspicious and had people gather all the villagers who raise poultry, and unexpectedly, it was found."

Although Physician Fang didn’t know who the cousin was, upon hearing it was chicken plague, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.

If such a thing only happened here, it’s not so bad. But if chicken plague occurs elsewhere and people eat chicken, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So, has Senior Mu thought of any preventive measures?" asked Physician Fang.

Mu Jian walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back and sighed deeply, "Soon, I will write two prescriptions: one for those not infected to take, and another for those who are infected to take. As for the efficacy, I can’t guarantee until after the results come out."

"In any case, we must try!" Physician Fang said, "There’s ink, paper, and inkstone in the tent. Senior Mu may write the prescriptions there."

Mu Jian nodded, looked at Song Ting, and said, "Disciple, you and Young Master Duan lead everyone out for a while; Miss Du, come along with me."

"Yes!" Du Bingxue nodded.

Fu Junyan hastily grabbed her, whispering, "Be careful in everything!"

"Mm." Du Bingxue gave a faint smile, "Don’t worry, with Senior Mu around, I’ll be fine."
