Zhang Xueying said,

"It’s impossible, Xiaoxiao and Lingling could only catch such an illness if they had contact with something, or met someone. Think carefully again."

Chen Yang shook his head and said with certainty.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xueying fell into deep thought again.

After pondering for about half a minute, she indeed remembered something.

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the fields to pick some vegetables. Lingling and Xiaoxiao were playing by the roadside for a while. I seemed to see a middle-aged man from a distance, passing by and playfully teasing Xiaoxiao and Lingling. Other than that time, they definitely didn’t contact anyone else," Zhang Xueying said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately understood.

The person from yesterday was very likely someone from the Five Poisons Cult.

Lingling and Xiaoxiao had a brief interaction with him, which led to their current condition.

"It’s come to this after all."

Chen Yang murmured.

"Brother Chen Yang, what kind of illness do Lingling and Xiaoxiao have, and why does it involve contact with others?" Zhang Xueying’s eyes welled up with tears.

The events at Linghe Village had spread widely throughout the surrounding villages, and both Zhang Xueying and Jiang Miaoyan feared it was an infectious disease.

They just didn’t dare admit it.

"It’s not a very serious illness, don’t worry, I can handle it." To prevent them from worrying too much, Chen Yang didn’t break the news to them directly.

Instead, he reassured them to put their minds at ease.

"Alright, alright."

Hearing that Chen Yang could handle it, Zhang Xueying and Jiang Miaoyan immediately nodded.

After speaking, Chen Yang began treating Xiaoxiao and Lingling.

Upon previous observation, it was found that the illness on Lingling and Xiaoxiao differed somewhat from that in Linghe Village, and wasn’t as severe.

It might have been intentional by those who planted the illness, or it could be due to early detection, so it wasn’t severe yet.

Chen Yang took out a few silver needles and inserted them into Lingling and Xiaoxiao’s necks.

As the silver needles went in, the two’s bodies immediately reacted.

They trembled a few times, showing signs of nausea.

"Xueying, be careful when dealing with this filth, and don’t touch it, or you’ll get sick as well," Chen Yang instructed Zhang Xueying.

Realizing the severity, Zhang Xueying and Jiang Miaoyan understood what was happening.

However, since Chen Yang said it was okay, their worry naturally subsided.

"Okay, I understand, Brother Chen Yang." Zhang Xueying nodded, holding back her sorrow, and after taking some protective measures herself, she began to help.

After inserting the silver needles, Chen Yang took out two small pills and gave them to the two.

These two pills were specifically made a few days ago to counter the illness, with remarkable effectiveness.

Normally, just a few days would suffice to return to normal.

Being that Xiaoxiao and Lingling were young and their symptoms were light, they should fully recover in no more than two days.

After taking the pills, the little ones’ conditions noticeably improved.

Their bodies stopped trembling, the cold sweat ceased.

And their complexion gradually returned to a rosy state.

"Xueying, Miaoyan, take these pills." Chen Yang stood up and handed a few pills to both of them.

"These are specifically for treating Xiaoxiao and Lingling, and they need to take one every five hours until they are fully recovered."

"Also, until they are completely recovered, please be cautious and avoid excessive contact."

Chen Yang seriously instructed the two.

"Okay."

Zhang Xueying nodded immediately in agreement.

"Brother Chen Yang, when will Lingling and Xiaoxiao be back to normal?" Jiang Miaoyan asked worriedly.

"At most two days," Chen Yang replied.

"If anything happens in between, just come find me anytime."

"Alright." Jiang Miaoyan felt relieved, finally lowering her concerns when she heard it would take no more than two days to recover.

After treating Xiaoxiao and Lingling, Chen Yang didn’t stay long but immediately went to the village office to report Xiaoxiao and Lingling’s illness.

The illness should not be underestimated and must be heavily guarded against.

Wu Kexin was shocked when she heard.

She hadn’t expected that even Linghe Village would be targeted, but luckily it was discovered in time. If, like Linghe Village, many people were infected, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"How are Xiaoxiao and Lingling now? Should I ask the town chief to come?" Wu Kexin urgently inquired.

Chen Yang shook his head, "I’ve stabilized Xiaoxiao and Lingling’s conditions. There shouldn’t be any other issues."

"However, it’s clear that our village has been targeted. We need everyone to be extra careful during this time. If there are any strangers entering or leaving the village, pay special attention."

Chen Yang’s words were well understood by Wu Kexin.

The illness was primarily caused by people from the Five Poisons Cult, and strict precautions were necessary.

With proper precautions, the illness could be avoided in the village.

"Alright, I’ll inform everyone immediately to pay attention to protection." Wu Kexin nodded in agreement.

"And if there are any suspicious individuals, let me know immediately."

"I will. If anything happens, I’ll come to you right away."

After their conversation, they didn’t waste any more time and immediately took action, alerting everyone in the village to be extra cautious.

The uncles and aunts in the village were very nervous when they heard the news.

They had heard plenty about the illness in Linghe Village.

Seeing that the illness had now reached Linghe Village, a bit of panic was quite understandable.
