"Smallpox?" The crowd turned pale with shock.
Yang Mengchen understood that here, unlike modern times, smallpox was considered an incurable disease. Moreover, it could be transmitted via the respiratory tract and spread extremely quickly. Once a smallpox infection was discovered, the infected had to be immediately incinerated. Burial was not an option; the body had to be burned.
Struggling to stabilize his unsettled mind, Yang Cheng'an said in a deep voice, "Ninth Sister, I'll go with you."
"I'm going too!" Long Ruoshui, Yao Chuanbai, and others almost chorused in unison.
After thinking it over, Yang Mengchen agreed to have Long Ruoshui accompany her. She then turned to Yao Chuanbai and instructed, "Dan Yang County is not too far from The Capital. If someone infected with smallpox runs to The Capital, the consequences would be unimaginable. Chuanbo, stay to handle emergency tasks."
"Yes, Master!"
