When coming across patients in the midst of an outbreak, Yun Jiao patiently waited for them to finish convulsing before distributing the medicine and watching them drink it.

Yun Jiao continued walking and tirelessly told these people, "Starting today, every morning and afternoon, there will be medicine available at the city gate. Those who can move should go by themselves to take the medicine, and those who cannot should have their family members bring it for them."

"As long as everyone keeps taking the medicine, the symptoms will ease in just a few days."

She didn’t know how many people she had spoken to that afternoon, and her voice had gone hoarse.

Captain Fang and two soldiers who were with Yun Jiao couldn’t bear to see her continue, so later they let Yun Jiao rest, eagerly explaining to the patients themselves.

Yun Jiao had said it so many times that they had memorized it.

Finally, in a corner, Yun Jiao found the little girl from the morning.

The girl was not having a seizure at the moment and was lying in a shelter. Her mother was not in sight.

Yun Jiao helped her up, "Where is your mother?"

The little girl replied, "She went to the moat to fetch water."

Yun Jiao fed the girl the medicine, and she obediently drank it all.

Yun Jiao then took out a bottle of flower dew from her body and whispered, "This is for you."

"You and your mother should apply it on your skin."

Not knowing how to open it, Yun Jiao demonstrated. The girl caught a whiff of the fragrance and actually smiled, "It smells so good."

Yun Jiao waited for a while and finally saw the girl’s mother return. She patiently instructed her as well, ladled a bowl of medicine for her, and watched her drink it. Finally, she pointed to the flower dew, "This helps repel mosquitoes."

"When you sleep at night, try to block any gaps and apply more flower dew on your skin to avoid mosquito bites."

"The little girl is already ill, so be careful not to get infected yourself."

The woman held the fragrant flower dew, thanking her profusely.

Yun Jiao smiled and moved on.

At the West City Gate, Cai Ping also brought several barrels of medicine. Prefect Wu had sent several government officials with him. These officials spoke the local dialect, explaining everything clearly, and some patients came to drink the medicine.

Most of those who drank the medicine thought, since it’s free, why not take it? Maybe it will work?

Yun Jiao returned to the city at dusk, but Prefect Wu was nowhere to be found. However, he had arranged meals for Yun Jiao and the Forbidden Army.

Yun Jiao quickly finished her meal and went to check the stock of Artemisia annua. There wasn’t much left, and it wouldn’t be enough for tomorrow.

She thought for a moment; her own medicine cabinet had some, just a little in the drawers, and another kilogram packed in decoction bags.

Her family’s medicine stock, because it was only used for their own prescriptions, had a full range of herbs but not in large quantities, usually just a pound or two of each.

Medicinal herbs are hard to preserve, prone to insects and mold, and some lose efficacy if stored too long, so you can’t keep too much.

After dinner, Yun Jiao took a bath, hurriedly closed the door, and took out the decoction bag containing the Artemisia annua.

She took out the Artemisia annua and, when she returned, another identical bag appeared in its place.

Yun Jiao repeated this process over and over, working for almost half an hour, until bags of Artemisia annua nearly filled the room.

Yun Jiao opened each plastic bag and poured the Artemisia annua into burlap sacks.

After finishing, she found herself covered in dust.
